Arbutin (CAS NO.497-76-7) was found to have depigmenting action in human melanocytes in culture. It can inhibit tyrosinase and thus prevents the formation of melanin. So it is used as a skin-lightening agent.It has also been used as food addition agent.
Arbutin (CAS NO.497-76-7) is extracted from bearberry plant in the genus Arctostaphylos. It is present in the leaves of bearberry, blueberry, cranberry and pear. It is also found in wheat, and is concentrated in pear skins.
An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
