Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-beta-D-glucoside THSG, one of six compounds isolated from Radix polygoni multiflori, a herb used effectively to prevent graying and to treat skin depigmentation diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Shows significant melanogenesis stimulation activities and significant activation effects on B16 cell tyrosinase. THSG is a potent activator of tyrosinase Mus musculus
