| Bioactivity | Hordenine sulfate (Ordenina sulfate) is an active compound extracted from malted barley that has melanin-inhibiting activity. Hordenine sulfate significantly reduced melanin content and reduced intracellular cAMP levels. Hordenine sulfate inhibits the expression of proteins related to melanogenesis, including microblind transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, and TRP-2. Therefore, Hordenine sulfate can be used as an active ingredient to inhibit pigmentation[1]. |
