Objectives : This study was carried out for the development of medicine for vitiligo treatment and focused on the effect of Psoraleae fructus extract on melanin synthesis of B16 melanoma cells. Methods : Activity of tyrosinase playing a vital role in the synthesis and quantity of melanin, which is the final product in cultured B16 melanoma cells, the effects of Psoraleae fructus extract were measured. Results : The results indicated that Psoraleae fructus extract increased both the amount of melanin and the activity of tyrosinase according to concentration, also supported by western blot analysis. Conclusions : The results suggest that Psoraleae fructus extract has an advantageous effect on the promotion of melanin synthesis and will contribute to the development of vitiligo treatment through further related studies.
