The goal of this study was to identify phytochemicals with inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. Nine compounds <b>1</b>-<b>9</b> were isolated from the tubers of <i>Apios americana.</i> This is the first report of aromadendrin 5-methyl ether (<b>1</b>) being isolated from the <i>Apios</i> species. Among them, compounds <b>2</b> and <b>8</b> showed inhibitory activity toward tyrosinase. Based on a Dixon plot, the potential <i>K</i><sub>i</sub> values of competitive inhibitors <b>2</b> and <b>8 ...[more]
