چکیده
A new stilbene, 4-[(2"E)-7"-hydroxy-3",7"-dimethyloct-2"-enyl]-2',3,4',5-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene (1), and the known compound chlorophorin (2) were isolated from the heartwood of Chlorophora excelsa. Both 1 and 2 showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity with IC(50) values of 96 and 1.3 microM, respectively.

Inhibitory effects of resveratrol derivatives from dipterocarpaceae plants on tyrosinase activity.
Stilbene derivatives, which are resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) oligomers ranging from monomer to tetramer, isolated from Dipterocarpaceae plants were tested for their inhibitory effects against murine tyrosinase activity. The structure-activity relationships obtained in this study suggest that the double bond in the stilbene skeleton is critical for the inhibition, and also that...
