Objective: The active effects on mushroom tyrosinase of the extracts from Trachyspermum ammi seeds and melanin synthesis were studied. Method: A ethanol extract of T. ammi was partitioned into petroleum ether
chloroform
ethyl acetate and n-butyl alcohol of the five fractions. Ethanol extract and ethyl acetate extract of T. ammi showed more potent in vitro activation of tyrosinase activity with L-DOPA as a substrate
and melanin content increasing activity. Result: The ethyl acetate extract of T. ammi activated tyrosinase at IC50 (13.64±7.78)g·L-1
and the IC50 value offructus psoraleae
a positive control
was (21.18±2.88)g·L-1. Conclusion: Ethyl acetate extract of T. ammi has a significant effect on activating the activity of tyrosinase and increasing melanin content in vitro. The project results showed an experimental evidence for clinical administration of the drugs in treating vitiligo.
