A Cell-Based Evaluation of the Tyrosinase-Mediated Metabolic Activation of Leukoderma-Inducing Phenols, II: The Depletion of <i>Nrf2</i> Augments the Cytotoxic Effect Evoked by Tyrosinase in Melanogenic Cells

A Cell-Based Evaluation of the Tyrosinase-Mediated Metabolic Activation of Leukoderma-Inducing Phenols, II: The Depletion of <i>Nrf2</i> Augments the Cytotoxic Effect Evoked by Tyrosinase in Melanogenic Cells

Chemical leukoderma is a disorder induced by chemicals such as rhododendrol and monobenzone. These compounds possess a <i>p</i>-substituted phenol moiety and undergo oxidation into highly reactive and toxic <i>o</i>-quinone metabolites by tyrosinase. This metabolic activation...
