Orcinol (3,5-Dihydroxytoluene) is an organic compound used in biological dyeing and proteomics research. Orcinol inhibits melanogenesis in B16F10 cells by upregulating the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, and suppresses the expression of MITF , tyrosinase ( TYR ), TRP1 , and DCT . Orcinol exhibits certain DPPH radical scavenging activity. In addition, Orcinol can alter nitrogen balance in animals. Orcinol holds promise for research in cancer and metabolic diseases [1] [2] [3] .
