Caffeic acid derivative WSY6 protects melanocytes from oxidative stress by reducing ROS production and MAPK activation

Purpose: Vitiligo is a chronic depigmentation disease caused by a loss of functioning melanocytes and melanin from the epidermis. Oxidative stress-induced damage to melanocytes is key in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. WSY6 is a caffeic acid derivative synthesized from epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG...
