Methyl undecenoyl leucinate is an active ingredient in whitening creams. This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as leucine and derivatives. Methyl undecenoyl leucinate inhibits the -MSH-induced adenylate cyclase (AC) and protein kinase A (PKA) activation, down-regulates melanogenic gene expressions such as MITF, tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2 (DCT) and finally suppresses melanin synthesis. The recommended concentration is between 2-4% and tests have shown neither cytotoxic effects nor irritation or sensitization reactions in healthy volunteers.
