Sirona Biochem's skin lightening compounds show antioxidant properties

摘要

Sirona Biochem has announced that its skin lightening compounds have been shown to have significant antioxidant activity. In the study, performed by French company Biogalenys, the antioxidant potential of compounds TFC-849 and TFC-723 was evaluated using a standard DPPH assay, and their efficiency factors were determined. The antioxidant activity of the compounds was evaluated by determining resultant levels of IC50, a molar ratio showing the concentration of the antioxidant leading to 50% reduction of the initial DPPH concentration.
