from SpecChem
Kojic acid is a fungal metabolite commonly produced by many species of Aspergillus,Acetobacter, and Penicillium. It has been shown to act as a competitive and reversible inhibitor of animal and plant polyphenol oxidases, i.e. tyrosinase that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to melanin via 3,4- dihydroxyphenylalanine and dopaquinone.
Kojic acid is an antioxidant used by the cosmetics industry and has been described as an alternative to hydroquinone in skin lightening,used in cosmetic products as a skin whitening, skin lightener or depigmenting agent. Mode of lightening action Kojic acid was capable of reducing o-quinones to diphenols to prevent the final pigment (melanin) from forming. It is widely used as a skin-lightening agent in cosmetics or dermatological preparations because of its slow and reversible competitive inhibition of tyrosinase.
