2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), isolated from Polygonum multiflorum, is a noncompetitive inhibitor of tyrosinase in cell-free kinetics; it reduced the Vmax values in a dose-dependent manner. Compound 1 inhibited PKA-induced melanogenesis, reduced the protein expression of tyrosinase and its transcription factor, the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, and lowered the complex formation between tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1).
