Cosmetic industries focus on developing materials and resources that regulate skin pigmentation. Melanin, the major pigment in human skin, protects the skin against damage from ultraviolet light. An ethanolic extract of the leaves ofCallicarpa longissimainhibits melanin production in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells by suppressing microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) gene expression. Following purification and analysis using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), NMR, and biochemical assays, carnosol was determined to be responsible for the major inhibitory effect of theC. longissimaextract on melanin production. Carnosol is an oxidative product of carnosic acid, whose presence in the extract was also confirmed by an authentic reference. The carnosol and carnosic acid content in the extract was approximately 16 % (w/w). These results suggest thatC. longissimais a novel, useful, and attractive source of skin-whitening agents.
