Arbutin
Written by Med-Scope
Arbutin
Arbutin is a glycoside and is the active principle of uva ursi and other plants. Arbutin has urinary disinfectant properties due to its hydrolysis to yield hydroquinone. Caution should be exercised in using arbutin because hydroquinone, in large quantities, is toxic and will produce symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, convulsions, and tinnitus. Arbutin can also cause death.
