Arbutin is a glycosylated hydroquinone that has been found in Arctostaphylos plants and has diverse biological activities, including tyrosinase inhibitory, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.{42646,42647} It inhibits human tyrosinase activity in crude tyrosinase solution isolated from human melanocytes (IC50s = 5.7 and 18.9 mM using L-tyrosine and L-DOPA as substrates, respectively) as well as in intact melanocytes (IC50 = 0.5 mM).{42648} Arbutin (50 ?M) inhibits hemolysis induced by the free radical generator AAPH (Item No. 82235) in sheep erythrocytes and inhibits AAPH-induced decreases in cell viability in cultured human skin fibroblasts when used at concentrations greater than 125 ?M.{42647} In an LPS-induced rat model of acute lung injury, arbutin (50 mg/kg) prevents increases in IL-1?, IL-6, and TNF-? levels in lung tissue and serum.{42649} Formulations containing arbutin have been used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders.{42646,42648}
