Effects of NNFE on melanogenesis in melan-a cells. Cells were cultured with NNFE (3–30 μg/mL) for 3 days. (A) cytotoxicity, (B) melanin content, (C) intracellular tyrosinase, and (D) tyrosinase activity by zymography were measured as described in the Materials and Methods. Experiments were performed in triplicate, and the results are expressed as the means ± SDs. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, Student’s t-test. NT, no treatment; Arb, arbutin; NNFE, ethyl acetate fraction of N. nouchali flower extract.
