1. Introduction.–Arbutin (¼4-hydroxyphenyl β-d-glucopyranoside; 1), a common inhibitor of melanin biosynthesis, has been widely used as a skin-whitening agent in cosmetics industry [1–3]. It also can be converted into hydroquinone with antimicrobial, astringent, and disinfectant properties [4]. Arbutin (1) was first found in the dried leaves of bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi; Ericaceae)[5]. In recent years, a number of naturally derived arbutin derivatives have been isolated from more than 100 different plant species (Table 1). Arbutin derivatives constitute one of the important and structurally diverse classes of naturally occurring compounds, ranging from acylated arbutin metabolites, non-acylated arbutin derivatives to homo-and isohomoarbutins. These natural arbutin derivatives have been reported to exhibit a wide range of significant biological properties such as antioxidant [6–11], antimicrobial [12–
