Depigmentation caused by application of the active brightening material, rhododendrol, is related to tyrosinase activity at a certain threshold.[Pubmed:25082450]

J Dermatol Sci. 2014 Oct;76(1):16-24.

BACKGROUND: Tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme required for melanin production, has been targeted to develop active brightening/lightening materials for skin products. Unexpected depigmentation of the skin characterized with the diverse symptoms was reported in some subjects who used a tyrosinase-competitive inhibiting quasi-drug, Rhododendrol. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism underlying the depigmentation caused by Rhododendrol-containing cosmetics, this study was performed. METHODS: The mechanism above was examined using more than dozen of melanocytes derived from donors of different ethnic backgrounds. The RNAi technology was utilized to confirm the effect of tyrosinase to induce the cytotoxicity of Rhododendrol and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was introduced to detect Rhododendrol and its metabolites in the presence of tyrosinase. RESULTS: Melanocyte damage was related to tyrosinase activity at a certain threshold. Treatment with a tyrosinase-specific siRNA was shown to dramatically rescue the Rhododendrol-induced melanocyte impairment. Hydroxyl-Rhododendrol was detected only in melanocytes with higher tyrosinase activity. When an equivalent amount of hydroxyl-Rhododendrol was administered, cell viability was almost equally suppressed even in melanocytes with lower tyrosinase activity. CONCLUSION: The generation of a tyrosinase-catalyzed hydroxyl-metabolite is one of the causes for the diminishment of the melanocyte viability by Rhododendrol.

Chemical synthesis and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of rhododendrol glycosides.[Pubmed:24332496]

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2014 Jan 1;24(1):122-5.

The concise synthesis of Rhododendrol glycosides 3-8, which are novel derivatives of (+)-epirhododendrin (1) and (-)-rhododendrin (2), has been achieved in six steps from benzaldehyde 9. The key reactions include aldol condensation and trichloroacetimidate glycosylation. From biological studies, it has been determined that synthetic derivatives of 1 and 2 possess potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Particularly, the inhibitory activity of cellobioside 8 (IC50=1.51muM) is six times higher than that of kojic acid. The R-epimers (4, 6, and 8) possessed more potent activity than the corresponding S-epimers (3, 5, and 7), indicating that tyrosinase inhibitory activity is significantly governed by stereochemistry of Rhododendrol glycosides.

Rhododendrol, a depigmentation-inducing phenolic compound, exerts melanocyte cytotoxicity via a tyrosinase-dependent mechanism.[Pubmed:24890809]

Pigment Cell Melanoma Res. 2014 Sep;27(5):754-63.

Rhododendrol, an inhibitor of melanin synthesis developed for lightening/whitening cosmetics, was recently reported to induce a depigmentary disorder principally at the sites of repeated chemical contact. Rhododendrol competitively inhibited mushroom tyrosinase and served as a good substrate, while it also showed cytotoxicity against cultured human melanocytes at high concentrations sufficient for inhibiting tyrosinase. The cytotoxicity was abolished by phenylthiourea, a chelator of the copper ions at the active site, and by specific knockdown of tyrosinase with siRNA. Hence, the cytotoxicity appeared to be triggered by the enzymatic conversion of Rhododendrol to active product(s). No reactive oxygen species were detected in the treated melanocytes, but up-regulation of the CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein gene responsible for apoptosis and/or autophagy and caspase-3 activation were found to be tyrosinase dependent. These results suggest that a tyrosinase-dependent accumulation of ER stress and/or activation of the apoptotic pathway may contribute to the melanocyte cytotoxicity.

(+)-rhododendrol and epi-rhododendrin suppress the NO production by activated macrophages in vivo.[Pubmed:9810263]

Planta Med. 1998 Oct;64(7):598-602.

In this study, we investigated the effect of (+)-Rhododendrol (1) and epi-rhododendrin (2) isolated from Acer nikoense Maxim. (Aceraceae) on nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse peritoneal macrophages elicited by bacillus Calmette-Guerin and in vitro stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. The NO production was not affected by an oral administration of methanol extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day. However, the AcOEt soluble fraction significantly reduced the NO production. (+)-Rhododendrol (1) isolated as an active substance from the AcOEt fraction suppressed the NO production. epi-Rhododendrin (2), the glucoside of (+)-Rhododendrol (1) isolated from the n-BuOH fraction, also suppressed the NO production. As NO is one of the critical mediators in inflammation, these results suggest that (+)-Rhododendrol (1) and epi-rhododendrin (2) contribute in part to the anti-inflammatory effect of A. nikoense.
