Description
Arbutin (p-Arbutin/β-Arbutin) is a glycosylated hydroquinone derived from bearberry (Arctostaphylos spp.) that acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, thereby suppressing melanin synthesis. It is widely used in dermatological research and skin-whitening studies, with applications in both in vitro enzymatic assays and in vivo models of hyperpigmentation.
