Description

Gamma-thujaplicin is a tropolone derivative found in western red cedar (Thuja plicata) wood. It has potent antifungal and antibacterial properties and has been shown to be effective against a range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is also a potent inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin. This makes it a potential therapeutic agent for skin conditions such as vitiligo and melasma. Researchers are studying gamma-thujaplicin for its potential as a natural pesticide and antimicrobial agent. Its unique chemical structure and biological activity make it an attractive target for the development of new drugs and other bioactive compounds.'
