Investigation of inhibitory activity of Sida cordifolia on tyrosinase extracted from Solanum tuberosum
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The study was carried out to estimate antimelanogenesis activities of alcoholic extracts of Sida cordifolia, taking resveratrol as standard. The different concentrations of alcoholic extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening for the identification of different phytochemicals and was found to have ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, sterculic, malvalic and coronaric acid, saponins, betaphenethylamine, hypaphorine and ecdysterone and the results were compared with that standard. Tyrosinase or phenol oxidase is a copper containing monooxygenase, a principal enzyme for melanin synthesis. Tyrosine inhibitors are the substances which reduce or block melanin synthesis leading to skin whitening. A number of potent tyrosinase inhibitors are from synthetic, semi-synthetic and natural origins. For the purpose of the development of a skin-whitening agent, the present study intends to analyse the inhibitory activity of alcoholic extract on Potato tyrosinase at different concentrations.
