Taraxinic acid can be found in the roots of Taraxacum flavostylum and Taraxacum lucidum. It is a Tyrosinase inhibitor that dose-dependently inhibits Tyrosinase activity, showing approximately 54.5% inhibition at a concentration of 50 μg/mL. Taraxinic acid has an IC50 of 83.2 μM against melanoma cells A375 and HTB140, and an IC50 of 60.4 μM against melanoma cells WM793, with activity being both dose- and time-dependent. Taraxinic acid holds promise for research in the field of anticancer therapy.
