| Description | Delta-Tocopherol is an isomer of Vitamin E,has antioxidant activity,and might be useful as effective ingredients in whitening cosmetics with lower skin toxicity. |
| In vitro | D-beta-tocopherol at 250 mug ml(-1) inhibited not only 28% of melanin synthesis in B16 cells, but also 34% of the tyrosinase activity, a very important cascade enzyme involved in the synthesis of melanin in melanoma cells. D-gamma-tocopherol also strongly inhibited up to 39% of melanin synthesis and 45% of the tyrosinase enzyme activity at the same concentration. |
