Ethyl linolenate

SKU: orb1684121

Description

Ethyl linolenate is a fatty acid ester that inhibits melanogenesis, demonstrating an IC50 of 70 μM in suppressing cellular melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity. Its antimelanogenic effects support its use as a research tool for studying skin pigmentation disorders and depigmenting agents in both in vitro and in vivo models.
