Descripción

3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor that has been shown to be effective in inhibiting the production of melanin. 3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is an active ingredient in skin lightening products and has been shown to be more potent than kojic acid, arbutin and ascorbic acid. The reaction mechanism of 3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is stepwise with hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) being the first substrate. HBA reacts with iron oxides to form a ferric hydroxide intermediate that undergoes gelation reactions with chloride ions. This results in a molecule containing three ether linkages, which are responsible for its inhibitory activity on the enzyme tyrosinase.
