Correlation between the Potency of Flavonoids on Mushroom Tyrosinase Inhibitory Activity and Melanin Synthesis in Melanocytes

Twenty-seven flavonoids isolated from Dalbergia parviflora with vast structural diversity were screened for inhibitory activity against mushroom and murine tyrosinases using l-DOPA as the substrate. Among the flavonoids tested, only four—khrinone (5), cajanin (9), (3RS)-3′-hydrox...
