  • Publication number: 20240272142
    Abstract: Provided is a method for determining whitening efficacy of a cosmetic raw material. In the disclosure, specific binding of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH) to melanocortical receptor I (MC1R) on melanocytes activates adenylyl cyclase (AC). The AC could catalyze the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), causing an increased level of intracellular cAMP. Increased CAMP level activates tyrosinase through protein kinase A (PKA), thereby promoting melanin production, and then achieving the determination of a relative melanin content.
