Undecylenoyl phenylalanine
Undecylenoyl phenylalanine (Sepiwhite MSH) is a synthetic depigmenting agent that functions as a potent α-MSH antagonist, thereby suppressing melanin production. It is widely used in dermatological research to study hyperpigmentation mechanisms and evaluate skin-lightening effects in both cellular and animal models.
