Abstract

Cashew ($Anacardium$ $occindentale$ $L$) leaves extract (CLE) has potential as tyrosinase inhibitor that can be used for therapeutic in pigmentation problem. This study investigates the real potential of CLE to inhibit tyrosinase and melanin reduction using human epidermal melanocytes. The extracts were exposed to the human melanocytes for more than 24 hours. The CLE extract exhibited potential as tyrosinase inhibitor, reduced melanin and high in antioxidant activity relative to commercial extract of $Emblica$ $sp$.

Item Type:Journal
Additional Information:This finding suggests that there is a strong inter-related correlation between antioxidant capacity and tyrosinase inhibition.
Keywords:Cashew leaf extracts, therapeutic in pigmentation problem
