Ethyl linolenate is a fatty acid ethyl ester that exhibits anti-melanogenic properties by suppressing cellular melanin synthesis with an IC50 of 70 µM.Ethyl linolenate inhibit forskolin-stimulated melanogenesis and reduces tyrosinase enzymatic activity. Its antimelanogenic profile supports the utilization of Ethyl linolenate in pigmentation disorder research and skin-lightening mechanism studies.
