kinetic of mushroom tyrosinase inhibition by benzaldehyde derivatives

The inhibition effects of melon on mushroom tyrosinase activity

The  inhibition effects seed and peel of melon on diphenolase activity of mashroom tyrosinase were investigated. The IC50 values and Ki values of seed and peel of melon were evaluated. increased the Km value and decreased the Vm value so it show mixed type inhibition on mushroom tyrosinase when L-DOPA was used as a substrate.

Physicochemical and kinetic properties of mushroom tyrosinase.

Tyrosinase (o-diphenol: O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.1) has been purified from a commercial lyophilized powder prepared from edible mushrooms. Specific activities toward DL-dihydroxyphenylalanine and catechol, homogeneity, molecular weight, absorption spectrum, amino acid composition, and copper content of the preparation are comparable to other purified samples of tyrosinase prepared from fres...

Mushroom tyrosinase inhibition activity of some chromones.

Currently, aloesin is used in the cosmetic industry as a whitening agent because it inhibits tyrosinase activity. Aloesin is a C-glycosylated chromone compound isolated from aloe, and it is difficult to synthesize because of C-glycosyl moiety in the molecule. The purpose of this study is to search for a new chromone compound which is easy to synthesize and which posesses stronger tyrosinase inh...

A theoretical study of benzaldehyde derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors using Ab initio calculated NQCC parameters

Tyrosinase is a multifunctional copper-containing enzyme. It can catalyze two distinct reactions of melanin synthesis and benzaldehyde derivatives, which are potential tyrosinase inhibitors.  To find the relationships between charge distributions of benzaldehyde and their pharmaceutical behavior, the present study aimed at investigating nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of quadrupolare nucl...

Effect of vanillin and its acid and alcohol derivatives on the diphenolase activity of mushroom tyrosinase

For the first time in the present study the effects of vanillin, vanillyl alcohol, vanillic acid, as well as the newly synthesized vanillin derivative, bis-vanillin, were investigated on the oxidation of dopamine hydrochloride by mushroom tyrosinase. Among them, vanillin and bis-vanillin act as activators, while vanillyl alcohol and vanillic acid exhibited inhibitory effects, the IC50 values be...
