Hirsutanone Isolated from the Bark of <i>Alnus japonica</i> Attenuates Melanogenesis via Dual Inhibition of Tyrosinase Activity and Expression of Melanogenic Proteins

Hirsutanone (Hir) and oregonin (Ore) are diarylheptanoids isolated from the bark of <i>Alnus japonica</i>. In this study, we investigated the anti-melanogenic activity of Hir and Ore in B16-F1 murine melanoma and normal human epidermal melanocytes (HEMn-DP) and elucidated the mechanisms...
