Abstract
To investigate the relationship between structure and biological activity of phenylpropanoids, we measured effects of phenylpropanoids on anti-oxidant and whitening activity. In DPPH radical scavenging activity, caffeic acid analogues had anti-oxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner. Although phenylpropanoids did not inhibit purified tyrosinase activity, they significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin production in MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells. (omitted)
