84380-01-8 Usage

Description

Arbutin is naturally found in plant sources such as Bearberry, Cranberry and Mulberry, which essentially prevents the formation of melanin (the pigment that creates skin colour). The chemically synthesised version of this plant extract is known as Alpha Arbutin which is used as a topical skin brightening agent to treat sun spots, pigmentation and scars caused by sun damage and breakouts. It also has antioxidant properties, which protect the skin from potential sun damage. Along with Retinol, it is a fairly common ingredient in anti-ageing products to treat age spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

Chemical Properties

Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 84380-01-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. alpha-Arbutin is White Solid
2. It is a glycosylated hydroquinone molecule, meaning a sugar molecule that has replaced one of the hydroxyl (-OH) groups on hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is seen as the gold standard of skin lightening, but there are concerns surrounding this well-studied tyrosinase inhibitor, such as skin sensitization, melanocytotoxicity from oxidative byproducts, and exogenous ochronosis (blue-black splotchy pigmentation) as a result of long-term application.1,2 Alpha arbutin is a more tolerable alternative to hydroquinone and is sometimes referred to as “natural hydroquinone.” Alpha arbutin functions similarly to hydroquinone, due to its molecular structure, but with reduced irritation and melanocytotoxicity. Alpha arbutin does not pose a risk in regards to exogenous ochronosis and poses minimal irritation and sensitization risk, making it a more tolerable alternative to hydroquinone.

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 84380-01-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. more stable analog of b-Arbutin
2. alpha-Arbutin is a component used in the skin-whitening cosmetics.
3. α-Arbutin may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in cosmetics by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV) method.

Definition

Alpha arbutin, also called Hydroquinone β-D-glucopyranoside, is a naturally occurring antioxidant and skin brightener that is naturally found in the bearberry plant. It reduces melanin formation, improving the appearance of age spots, freckles, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

benefits

Ensures an even skin tone after only one month;Reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure;Helps to minimize the appearance of liver spots.

Biological Functions

Alpha arbutin acts as a tyrosinase competitive inhibitor and also slows melanosome maturation (the organelles that synthesize and store melanin or pigment).3 This is significant because it works on two different mechanisms of pigmentation. Melanin is derived from the amino acid tyrosine and this conversion is regulated by the enzyme tyrosinase. Alpha arbutin is similar in structure to tyrosine, which fits into tyrosinase, needed for melanogenesis. This means that alpha arbutin is reversibly competing with tyrosine for a spot on the enzyme and not inhibiting cell viability, so therefore is not cytotoxic. By targeting tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanin formation, as well as slowing production of the organelles that produce melanin, alpha arbutin is a potent skin brightening agent.

General Description

α-Arbutin is a glycosylated hydroquinone and an anomer of naturally occurring arbutin. It is a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase, a vital enzyme involved in epidermal melanin biosynthesis. α-Arbutin finds extensive application as a powerful skin-lightening agent in cosmetic industries.

Mechanism of action

Alpha arbutin is frequently marketed as a safer alternative to hydroquinone (a popular skin-lightening ingredient that has been banned in Europe and Australia). It has similar results in brightening skin but without the dangerous bleaching process. Instead, it reduces skin’s pigment production by suppressing the enzymes that stimulate melanin. This also slows down the process by which UV light causes pigmentation, so it both prevents and treats pigmentation issues.

Synthesis

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 84380-01-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 8,4,3,8 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 84380-01:
(7*8)+(6*4)+(5*3)+(4*8)+(3*0)+(2*0)+(1*1)=128
128 % 10 = 8
So 84380-01-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Paragraph 0006; 0009; 0013; 0018, (2019/01/08)

The invention provides a chemical synthetic method for beta-arbutin, which includes: 1) performing a reaction to pentaacetyl-beta-D-glucose with a 70% hydrofluoric acid pyridine solution at 10-30 DEGC to obtain tetraacetyl-alpha-fluoroglucose; 2) performing a reaction to the tetraacetyl-alpha-fluoroglucose with p-hydroxyacetophenone in a mixed solvent under catalysis of tetrabutylammonium bromidewith Ca(OH)2 being an accelerant at 20-30 DEG C to prepare p-acetylphenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside; 3) performing a reaction to the p-acetylphenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside with 40% peroxyacetic acid in an organic solvent at 5-20 DEG C to obtain p-acetoxylphenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside; 4) performing a reaction to the p-acetoxylphenyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside at 15-25 DEG C in the presence of anhydrous methanol-sodium methoxide to obtain the beta-arbutin. The method is high in yield, low in cost, gentle in conditions and less in emission of waste liquid, waste gas and waste solids, and is suitable for industrial production.

Enzymatic Glycosylation of Phenolic Antioxidants: Phosphorylase-Mediated Synthesis and Characterization

De Winter, Karel,Dewitte, Griet,Dirks-Hofmeister, Mareike E.,De Laet, Sylvie,Pelantová, Helena,K?en, Vladimír,Desmet, Tom

, p. 10131 - 10139 (2016/02/03)

Although numerous biologically active molecules exist as glycosides in nature, information on the activity, stability, and solubility of glycosylated antioxidants is rather limited to date. In this work, a wide variety of antioxidants were glycosylated using different phosphorylase enzymes. The resulting antioxidant library, containing α/β-glucosides, different regioisomers, cellobiosides, and cellotriosides, was then characterized. Glycosylation was found to significantly increase the solubility and stability of all evaluated compounds. Despite decreased radical-scavenging abilities, most glycosides were identified to be potent antioxidants, outperforming the commonly used 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methylphenol (BHT). Moreover, the point of attachment, the anomeric configuration, and the glycosidic chain length were found to influence the properties of these phenolic glycosides.

experimental part, p. 20 - 27 (2012/09/05)

The α-glucosyl transfer enzyme (XgtA), a novel type α-glucosidase produced by Xanthomonas campestris WU-9701, was purified from the cell-free extract and characterized. The molecular weight of XgtA is estimated to be 57 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 60 kDa by gel filtration, indicating that XgtA is a monomeric enzyme. Kinetic properties of XgtA were determined for α-glucosyl transfer and maltose-hydrolyzing activities using maltose as the α-glucosyl donor, and if necessary, hydroquinone as the acceptor. The Vmax value for α-glucosyl transfer activity was 1.3 × 10-2 (mM/s); this value was 3.9-fold as much as that for maltose-hydrolyzing activity. XgtA neither produced maltooligosaccharides nor hydrolyzed sucrose. The gene encoding XgtA that contained a 1614-bp open reading frame was cloned, identified, and highly expressed in Escherichia coli JM109 as the host. Site-directed mutagenesis identified Asp201, Glu270, and Asp331 as the catalytic sites of XgtA, indicating that XgtA belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 13.
