A comprehensive review on tyrosinase inhibitors

Abstract: Tyrosinase is a multi-copper enzyme which is widely distributed in different organisms and plays an important role in the melanogenesis and enzymatic browning. Therefore, its inhibitors can be attractive in cosmetics and medicinal industries as depigmentation agents and also in food and agriculture industries as antibrowning compounds. For this purpose, many natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic inhibitors have been developed by different screening methods to date. This review has focused on the tyrosinase inh… Show more

“…On the other hand, only flavonoids (i.e., anthocyanins, flavanols, flavonols, and flavones) were found to be highly correlated to the enzymatic inhibition tested, with the most significant values (p < 0.01) recorded for flavanols (Supplementary Materials). These results are consistent with recent papers, which reported that flavonoids are one of the most important classes of natural enzyme inhibitors [43][44][45]. Finally, when considering the C. szovitsii flower extracts, we found negative correlation coefficients between the total alkaloids and the in vitro antioxidant assays (mainly with FRAP and ABTS values of −0.92 and −0.90, respectively).…”

“…As for monophenolase, tyrosinase showed a lag period at the beginning of the reaction (Figure 5AIII). This period was related to the time required for the enzyme to accumulate a certain amount of o ‐diphenol in reaction medium and positively correlated with the quantity of monophenol (Zolghadri et al., ). Generally, tyrosinase inhibitors can prolong the lag period (Chai et al., ; Hu et al., ), but the anthocyanins of L .…”

“…Tyrosinase mainly provides the synthesis of melanin by the hydroxylation of tyrosine and the oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, in the human body. Although melanin is a photoprotective pigment in human skin, the abnormal increases of melanin in different parts of the skin might occur melanoma and other many skin disorders (Van Kempen, Redpath, Robert, & Spatz, 2014;Zolghadri et al, 2019). Also, tyrosinase causes the enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables, which affects negatively their color, taste, flavor, and nutritional importance (Martinez & Whitaker, 1995).…”
