Soy derived products to depigment the skin (For Professionals)
- Soy contains antioxydants calles isoflavones. The 2 main ones are genistein and daizedine.
- In this study, the authors studied 7,3’,4’-Trihydroxyisoflavone (7,3’,4’-THIF), a metabolite of daidzedine would have a depigmenting effect
- Contrarily to daizedine, 7,3’,4’-THIF inhibits the extracellular and intracellular production of melanin by B16F10 cells (induced by α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH))
- (7,3’,4’-THIF), abolished the expression of tyrosinase et de tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1).
- 7,3’,4’-THIF abolished the expression of transcription factors intervening in the activation of tyrosinase: Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), cAMP response element-binding (CREB)
- Other results show that 7,3’,4’-THIF acts by targetting the mélanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), and this subsequently inhibits the production of melanin.
- Comment: The study is done in vitro, not in vivo
