Descrição

5,6-Dihydroxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (5,6 DHICA) is a photosensitizing agent with a long detection time. It has been used in the treatment of cervical cancer and skin cancer. 5,6 DHICA is an inhibitor of tyrosinase, which is responsible for the synthesis of melanin. 5,6 DHICA prevents the conversion of dopachrome to eumelanin by binding to the active site of tyrosinase and inhibiting its activity. This makes it an important drug for the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders such as vitiligo and melasma.
