Abstract Bambusae Caulis in Liquamen (BCL) is the distilled product of the condensation from the burning of Phyllostachys nigra var. henosis (Gramineae). The activity-guided isolation of BCL yielded four phenolic compounds: 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (1), 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (2), 1,3-dihydroxybenzene (3) and 1,2-dibenzenecarboxylic acid (4). We evaluated the anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and whitening effects of these compounds, via assays, of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells as well as inhibition of tyrosinase activity and melanin production in B16F10 melanoma cells. The results showed that 2 and 3 exhibited significant DPPH radical scavenging activity as well as inhibitory effects on NO production, tyrosinase activity and melanin production. These results suggested that BCL and compounds 2 and 3 can be developed as anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and whitening ingredients.
