A task is to provide a method for producing a polycyclic aromatic aminophenol compound through a reduced number of steps at a low cost with high safety. The method for producing a polycyclic aromatic aminophenol compound includes the step of reacting a compound represented by the general formula (1) below and an aromatic amino compound with each other: ##STR00001##
Wherein n represents an integer of 1 to 8, Ar represents a benzene ring optionally having a substituent, or a naphthalene ring optionally having a substituent, each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently represents a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent, or an aromatic group optionally having a substituent, and R.sup.3 represents a hydroxyl group, a methoxy group, or a halogen atom.

The present invention implements a strategy that combines an enzyme inhibition assay with a chemical dereplication process to identify active plant extracts and the particular compoundsdiarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols within those extracts that specifically inhibit binuclear enzyme function. Included in the present invention are compositions of matter comprised of one or more of diarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols, which inhibit the activity of binuclear enzymes, particularly tyrosinase and which prevent melanin overproduction. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting the activity of a binuclear enzyme, particularly tyrosinase and a method for preventing and treating diseases and conditions related to binuclear enzyme function. The present invention further includes a method for preventing and treating melanin overproduction and diseases and conditions of the skin related thereto. The method for preventing and treating diseases and conditions related to binuclear enzyme function and melanin overproduction is comprised of administering to a host in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more diarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols synthesized and/or isolated from one or more plants together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
