Biological Activity

Description	Mequinol (4-Methoxyphenol) is a depigmentation agent.

In vitro
In vitro	Mequinol, diluted in the culture medium or used topically at the top of the RE, leads to a decrease in pigmentation with a diminished melanin transfer human keratinocytes and melanocytes. Mequinol induces a diminution of dopa-positive melanocyte counts. ^[1] Mequinol is available in the United States in 2% concentration and is commercially marketed as a prescription skin lightener in combination with 0.01% tretinoin, functioning as a penetration enhancer, and vitamin C, in the form of ascorbic acid and ascorbyl palmitate, to enhance skin lightening. Mequinol is a substrate for tyrosinase thereby acting as a competitive inhibitor in the formation of melanin precursors. ^[2]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
