Objective:To elucidate the anti-melanogenic potential of Carex pumila Thunb.extract(FBCC-EP850).Methods:A collection of 180 plant extracts was tested for inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase activity using an in vitro assay.Among them,FBCC-EP850 exhibited the most promising inhibitory activity.Further analysis was conducted to investigate its mechanisms and therapeutic potential in reducing melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells and zebrafish larvae.Results:FBCC-EP850 inhibited mushroom tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner,with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 45.83 µg/mL.FBCC-EP850 at concentrations up to 50 µg/mL demonstrated minimal cytotoxicity against B16F10 melanoma cells and no adverse effects on zebrafish larvae.Treatment with 50 µg/mL of FBCC-EP850 significantly reduced α-melanocyte stimulating hormone-induced melanin production and suppressed cellular tyrosinase activity in B16F10 melanoma cells.Additionally,FBCC-EP850 at 25 and 50 µg/mL effectively diminished hyperpigmentation in α-melanocyte stimulating hormone-stimulated zebrafish larvae.Its anti-melanogenic action could be attributed to modulation of the cAMP-CREB-MITF signaling pathway.Conclusions:Carex pumila extract can inhibit melanogenesis by modulating the cAMP-CREB-MITF signaling pathway,which can be used as a promising candidate for treating hyperpigmentation disorders.
