Cucurbitacins from Trichosanthes kirilowii as the inhibitory components on tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis of B16/F10 melanoma cells.
    Planta medica, 2002, Volume: 68, Issue:9

    Cucurbitacins 1 and 2 were isolated from the root of Trichosanthes kirilowii by tyrosinase inhibitory activity-guided fractionation. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that compounds 1 and 2 were cucurbitacin D and 23,24-dihydro-cucurbitacin D, respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 effectively inhibited the activity of tyrosinase (IC(50) = 0.18 microM and 6.7 microM, respectively), and the synthesis of melanin (IC(50) = 0.16 microM and 7.5 microM, respectively) in B16/F10 melanoma cells.
