1 The melanocytotoxic effects of 4-hydroxyanisole (4-OHA) are thought to depend upon its conversion to toxic oxidation products by the enzyme tyrosinase. formestane tyrosinase Mus musculus
2 In this study, the cytotoxicity of 4-OHA was examined in different B16 melanoma cell lines that show varying levels of tyrosinase and after stimulation by melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). formestane tyrosinase Mus musculus
3 Although stimulation of tyrosinase activity with RA enhanced the cytotoxicity of 4-OHA, no similar enhancement occurred with alpha-MSH. formestane tyrosinase Mus musculus
