AbstractPigmentation has become an important phenotypical characteristic, in the pharmaceutical, medicinal as well as in the cosmetic field. Plants and their extracts are inexpensive and rich resources of active compounds that can be utilized to inhibit tyrosinase activity as well as melanin production. Natural and synthetic chemical agents can frequently modulate the metabolism of pigmentation produced. Methanol extracts of seven plants were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on the monophenolase and diphenolase activated forms of tyrosinase in vitro. Active extracts were also investigated for their inhibitory effect on melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells. Extracts of Hyaenanche globosa and Myrsine africana showed 92% and 83% inhibition...
