Tyrosinase inhibition is an important approach towards controlling hyper pigmentation. We aimed to screen alcoholic extracts of 11 plants extract for their tyrosinase inhibitory activity. These plants have been used traditionally in the treatment of skin ailments and for the improvement of skin complexion. The extracts were quantified for total phenols, alkaloids and tannins. <em>In vitro</em> tyrosinase inhibition was performed with kojic acid as the positive control. Cell viability was tested on B16 F0 melanoma cells. The extracts of <em>Rosa berberifolia</em>, <em>Punica granatum</em> and <em>Casiia angustifolia</em> showed more than 80% inhibition at 500 mg/ml concentration. Nine of the extracts were also shown to have a high phenolic content greater than 200 mg/g of the plant material. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the extracts of <em>Cassia angustifolia, Punica granatum </em>and<em> Rosa berberifolia</em> were comparable with that of the control, kojic acid. The three extracts also showed lesser than 50% cytotoxicity at the concentrations tested. From the screening assays, it is seen that three plants have appreciable tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Hence, these plants may be further evaluated for their use in cosmetics and hyper pigmentation.

Background: Piper species are aromatic plants used as spices in the kitchen, but their secondary metabolites have also shown biological effects on human health. In traditional medicine, Piper species have been used worldwide to treat several diseases such as urological problems, skin, liver and stomach ailments, for wound healing, and as antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agents. In the present study, we attempted to isolate the phytochemicals from Piper caninum and Piper magnibaccum and evaluate their tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Methods: Phytochemical constituents of the extracts were investigated using various chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. The structures of the isolated phytochemicals were established by analysis of their spectroscopic data, as compared to that of reported data. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was also tested on the extracts and selected compounds using mushroom tyrosinase as the enzyme. Results: Fractionation and purification of the extracts of Piper caninum and Piper magni­baccum afforded nine known compounds which were cepharanone A (1), cepharadione A (2), aristolactam AII (3), 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (4), 24-methylenecycloartan-3-one (5), β-sitosterol (6), piperumbellactam A (7), 24S-ethylcholesta-5,22,25-trien-3β-ol (8) and stigmast-3,6-dione (9). Ethyl acetate extracts from leaves of P. magnibaccum gave the highest inhibition value at 48.35%, while the tested compounds displayed weak tyrosinase activity compared to the positive control, kojic acid. Conclusion: These phytochemical results suggested that the extracts could assist as a potential source of bioactive compounds. Further research is needed in which the extract could possibly be exploited for pharmaceutical use.

This research has been an effort to develop synthetic resveratrol analogs in order to improve the depigmenting potential of natural resveratrol. Six resveratrol analogs were synthesized and tested for tyrosinase inhibitory activityin vitro, by qualitative and quantitative steps. The results showed the analogCas being the most powerful tyrosinase inhibitor (IA50= 65.67 ± 0.60 μg/mL), followed by the analogsB,E,F,A, andD, respectively. The analogCpresented a tyrosinase inhibition potential better than natural resveratrol (P<0.001). The best depigmenting activity was provided by the presence of hydroxyl in the orthoposition on the second phenolic ring.

Targeting tyrosinase for melanogenesis disorders is an established strategy. Hydroxyl-substituted benzoic and cinnamic acid scaffolds were incorporated into new chemotypes that displayed in vitro inhibitory effects against mushroom and human tyrosinase for the purpose of identifying anti-melanogenic ingredients. The most active compound 2-((4-methoxyphenethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl (E)-3-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylate (Ph9), inhibited mushroom tyrosinase with an IC50 of 0.059 nM, while 2-((4-methoxyphenethyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl cinnamate (Ph6) had an IC50 of 2.1 nM compared to the positive control, kojic acid IC50 16700 nM. Results of human tyrosinase inhibitory activity in A375 human melanoma cells showed that compound (Ph9) and Ph6 exhibited 94.6% and 92.2% inhibitory activity respectively while the positive control kojic acid showed 72.9% inhibition. Enzyme kinetics reflected a mixed type of inhibition for inhibitor Ph9 (Ki 0.093 nM) and non-competitive inhibition for Ph6 (Ki 2.3 nM) revealed from Lineweaver–Burk plots. In silico docking studies with mushroom tyrosinase (PDB ID:2Y9X) predicted possible binding modes in the catalytic site for these active compounds. Ph9 displayed no PAINS (pan-assay interference compounds) alerts. Our results showed that compound Ph9 is a potential candidate for further development of tyrosinase inhibitors.

In this study, a series of sulfonamide chalcones derivatives was synthesized and its chemical structures were confirmed by spectral characteristics. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their tyrosinase inhibitory activities along with molecular docking study. The tyrosinase inhibitory results indicated that compounds 5b, 5c, 5f, 5g and 5h displayed the significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity and comparable to the standard drug (kojic acid). Compound 5c exhibits the most potent tyrosinase inhibition among the synthesized compounds with IC50 = 0.43±0.07 mM, L-DOPA as the substrate, and better than that of the standard kojic acid (IC50 = 0.60±0.20 mM). Molecular docking studies showed that the binding mode of some compounds is in the tyrosinase binding pocket surrounding the copper in the active site. The correlation between the docking results with IC50 values showed that the binding mode prediction of the test compounds would also be convincing. This comprehensive study allows for a possible mechanism for the antityrosinase activity of the sulfonamide chalcones. These sulfonamide chalcones bind to copper atoms of tyrosinase which responsible for the catalytic activity of tyrosinase. These compounds may be used as a lead for rational drug designing for the multi-functional tyrosinase inhibitor.

Background: Tyrosinase enzyme is one of the important targets to reduce melanoma and other skin disorders. Standard inhibitors of tyrosinase enzyme including arbutin and kojic acid are less effective. Some NSAIDs such as acetylsalicylic acid, mefanamic acid, and diclofenac are known to possess inhibitory potential against melanogenesis. The current study deals with the screening of tyrosinase inhibitory potential of S-naproxen derivatives. Methods: Synthetic S-naproxen derivatives 1-33 were evaluated for tyrosinase inhibitory activity in vitro. Results: Six compounds 2, 8, 9, 20, 21, and 29 showed good to moderate activity in the range of (IC50 = 21.05 ± 0.9-53.22 ± 0.7 µM) as compared to the standard kojic acid (IC50 = 16.9 ± 1.3 µM). Compound 9 (IC50 = 21.05 ± 0.9 µM) was found to be significantly active and showed activity close to the standard. Compounds 2 (IC50 = 33.23 ± 1.1 µM), 8 (IC50 = 42.10 ± 1.0 µM), 20 (IC50 = 35.40 ± 0.4 µM), 21 (IC50 = 41.01 ± 0.6 ±M), and 29 (IC50 = 53.22 ± 0.7 µM) were found to be moderately active. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) was rationalized on the basis of different substituents and functionalities present on the main scaffold. Conclusion: This study has identified a number of compounds derived from S-naproxen with comparable tyrosinase inhibitory activity.

Abstract. The goals of this study were to determine and evaluate the bioaccessibility of total anthocyanin and procyanidin in apple (Amasya, Malus communis), red grape (Papazkarası, Vitis vinifera) and cinnamon (Cassia, Cinnamomum) using an in vitro static digestion system based on human gastrointestinal physiologically relevant conditions. Also, in vitro inhibitory effects of these foods on lipid (lipase) and carbohydrate digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) were performed with before and after digested samples using acarbose and methylumbelliferyl oleate (4MUO) as the positive control. While the highest total anthocyanin content was found in red grape (164 ± 2.51 mg/100 g), the highest procyanidin content was found in cinnamon (6432 ± 177.31 mg/100 g) (p < 0.05). The anthocyanin bioaccessibilities were found as 10.2 ± 1%, 8.23 ± 0.64%, and 8.73 ± 0.70% in apple, red grape, and cinnamon, respectively. The procyanidin bioaccessibilities of apple, red grape, and cinnamon were found as 17.57 ± 0.71%, 14.08 ± 0.74% and 18.75 ± 1.49%, respectively. The analyzed apple, red grape and cinnamon showed the inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 544 ± 21.94, 445 ± 15.67, 1592 ± 17.58 μg/mL, respectively), α-amylase (IC50 38.4 ± 7.26, 56.1 ± 3.60, 3.54 ± 0.86 μg/mL, respectively), and lipase (IC50 52.7 ± 2.05, 581 ± 54.14, 49.6 ± 2.72 μg/mL), respectively. According to our results apple, red grape and cinnamon have potential to inhibit of lipase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase digestive enzymes.
