Hydroxamic acid and its derivatives as inhibitors of melanocyte tyrosinase for topical skin lighteners

Methods, compounds, and formulations are provided to reduce pigmentation in mammalian skin, comprising hydroxamic acid and its derivatives, and especially benzohydroxamic acid and its derivatives. The compounds preferably inhibit pigment synthesis in melanocytes through inhibition of melanocyte tyrosinase. The methods can be used for lightening skin, and for treating uneven skin complexions, which result from hyperpigmentation-related medical conditions such as melasma, age spots, freckles, ochronosis, and lentigo. The compounds can be used medically or cosmetically, and preferably as topical formulations.
