4-Butylresorcinol 是苯酚衍生物，可以抑制酪氨酸酶，其IC50=11.27 μM。

4-Butylresorcinol is a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase(IC50 : 11.27 μM), and is used in cosmetics as a depigmenting agent.

4-Butylresorcinol (4-n-butylresorcinol) significantly inhibits melanin synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner. It is also found to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting melanogenic enzyme. 4-Butylresorcinol does not induce ERK, Akt activation, or MITF degradation, and has no effect on cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation, which stimulates MITF expression.
