Methods for enhancing the therapeutic and adjuvant use of IL-
12
by reducing unwanted transient immunosuppression caused by IL-
12
or by high doses thereof involve co-administering IL-
12
with an effective amount of an agent that inhibits or neutralizes nitric oxide (NO) in vivo. Enhanced vaccine therapy involves co-administering the IL-
12
adjuvant, a selected vaccine antigen and the NO inhibiting/neutralizing agent. Additionally, the toxicity of IL-
12
treatment may be reduced by co-administering IL-
12
with an effective amount of the NO inhibiting or neutralizing agent. A therapeutic composition characterized by reduced toxicity in mammals contains IL-
12,
preferably a low dose thereof, and an NO inhibiting or neutralizing agent in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A vaccine composition contains an effective adjuvanting amount of IL-
12,
an effective amount of an NO inhibiting or neutralizing agent, and an effective protective amount of a vaccine antigen in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

A method for the identification of compounds) that control melanin synthesis (melanogenesis), and the preparation and use of such compounds, and compositions and formulations thereof to modify (e.g., inhibit) melanin production are disclosed. A representative compound of the invention is defined by formula I: Me I The compounds may be prepared as pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions, and in one embodiment, may be prepared in combination with each other, and with other melanogenesis inhibiting formulations. The compounds, compositions and formulations of the invention may be used for the prevention and treatment of conditions that are causally related to aberrant melanogenesis activity including, by way of non-limiting example, hyperpigmentation and others.
