Benzylacetone Biological Activity
| Description | Benzylacetone is an aromatic compound from agarwood[1]. Benzylacetone exhibits potent and reversible antityrosinase (mushroom) activity， with IC50s of 2.8 mM and 0.6 mM for monophenolase and diphenolase, respectively[2]. Benzylacetone has appetite-enhancing and locomotor-reducing effects[3]. |
