Butylchlorogenate

Uses

Chlorogenic acid butyl ester, a caffeoylquinic acid, is a potent melanogenesis inhibitor. Chlorogenic acid butyl ester inhibits the expression of microphtalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase, tyrosinerelated protein 1 (TRP-1), and TRP-2. Chlorogenic acid butyl ester also shows antioxidant activity[1].
