Product Information

Arbutin AI Summary

Arbutin demonstrates significant bioactivity as an inhibitor of tyrosinase, a key enzyme involved in melanin synthesis. It shows varying IC50 values for mushroom tyrosinase inhibition, ranging from 7,300,000 nM to 24,000,000 nM, and also inhibits tyrosinase in mouse B16 cells with IC50 values as low as 30,260.0 nM. This compound is effective against alpha-MSH-stimulated melanogenesis in mouse B16 cells, with an IC50 of 180,000 nM. Additionally, it exhibits antimelanogenic properties, reducing melanin production in Melan-a cells with IC50 values up to 174,000.0 nM. Furthermore, Arbutin also shows antioxidant activity and mild cytotoxicity against various cell lines, indicating its potential for applications in skin-lightening and anti-pigmentation treatments. However, it lacks antimicrobial activity against several bacteria and demonstrates limited antiviral effects against SARS-CoV-2..

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:

For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of 10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH₂O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.

Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSO to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSO stock solution to 400 µL PEG300 and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 µL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 µL Saline,PBS or ddH₂O and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
