제목 Development of small molecule-peptide conjugates as novel whitening agents, and improvement of their photostability
초록 In previous study, we developed small molecule-peptide conjugates as potential whitening agents which inhibit tyrosinase activity and antagonize MC1R at the same time. The conjugated small molecules having tyrosinase inhibitory activity were selected using mushroom tyrosinase assay. Through this method, caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid were screened. However, these conjugates were unstable under UV light because of oxidation of their hydroxyl group. In this study, we developed photostabilized small molecule-peptide conjugates, and their potentials as skin whitening agents were investigated.
