Action of tyrosinase on alpha and beta-arbutin: A kinetic study
The known derivatives from hydroquinone, α and β-arbutin, are used as depigmenting agents. In this work, we demonstrate that the oxy form of tyrosinase (oxytyrosinase) hydroxylates α and β-arbutin in ortho position of the phenolic hydroxyl group, giving rise to a complex formed by met-tyrosinase with the hydroxylated α or β-arbutin. This complex could evolve in two ways: by oxidizing the origin...
متن کاملSyntheses of arbutin-alpha-glycosides and a comparison of their inhibitory effects with those of alpha-arbutin and arbutin on human tyrosinase.
The effects of 4-hydroxyphenyl alpha-glucopyranoside (alpha-arbutin) and 4-hydroxyphenyl beta-glucopyranoside (arbutin) on the activity of tyrosinase from human malignant melanoma cells were examined. The inhibitory effect of alpha-arbutin on human tyrosinase was stronger than that of arbutin. The K(i) value for alpha-arbutin was calculated to be 1/20 that for arbutin. We then synthesized arbut...
متن کاملDual Effects of Alpha-Arbutin on Monophenolase and Diphenolase Activities of Mushroom Tyrosinase
The effects of α-arbutin on the monophenolase and diphenolase activities of mushroom tyrosinase were investigated. The results showed that α-arbutin inhibited monophenolase activity but it activated diphenolase activity. For monophenolase activity, IC50 value was 4.5 mmol · L(-1) and 4.18 mmol · L(-1) of α-arbutin could extend the lag time from 40.5 s to 167.3 s. Alpha- arbutin is proposed to b...
