Mequinol
Mequinol (Leucobasal) is a synthetic hydroquinone derivative used as a depigmenting agent in research. Its proposed mechanism involves tyrosinase oxidation to cytotoxic metabolites within melanocytes. This compound is applied in dermatological research, particularly in studies of hyperpigmentation using both in vitro melanocyte models and in vivo experimental systems.
