Effects of dicarboxylic acids on normal and malignant melanocytes in culture. Hu, F, Mah, K, & Teramura, D J The British journal of dermatology, 114(1):17–26, January, 1986. Paper abstract bibtex We have shown that dicarboxylic acids (C9 and C12), known competitive inhibitors of tyrosinase, are selectively cytotoxic to malignant melanogenic melanocytes but not to normal pigmented cells or to amelanotic or non-melanogenic melanoma cells. The main target of this toxicity appears to be the mitochondria, which become markedly swollen and vacuolated. The mechanism of their action has been thought to be due to interference with oxidoreductases in the mitochondria. However, our results suggest that this cytotoxicity most probably does not result simply from inhibition of mitochondrial enzymes, but is closely related to the melanin biosynthesis pathway.
