  • The abilities of petroleum ether-extracts prepared from 75 plants to inhibit tyrosinase activity were evaluated in reverse micelles composed of isooctane/AOT(100 mM)/phosphate buffer(20 mM, pH 8.0) containing tyrosinase(105.3 units/mL) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine(0.18 mM). Compared with control which has no plant extracts, garlic could completely inhibit in vitro melanogenesis by tyrosinase, and Chinese quince, sweet potato, onion, radish bud and apple did more than 60%. Lipophilic extracts of medicinal plants and herbs such as rosemary, coriander, cinnamomi ramulus, crataegii fructus, ramulus biotae folium, mume fructus, menthae herba, eucommiae cortex and clove also inhibited tyrosinase activity more than 60%. When the extraction yield of lipophilic materials was considered together with their inhibition effect on tyrosinase, it was possible to select plants of which tyrosinase inhibitors could be produced in high quantity from unit weight. Using reverse micelles, the analysis of the capacity of lipophilic materials to inhibit tyrosinase activity which was difficult up to present could be possible.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the tyrosinase inhibitory activity and antimicrobial activity by mixtures of ultrasonicated chitosan and Maillard reaction products. Analysis of tyrosinase was purified from potato and confirmed by active staining after SDS-PAGE. Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were formed from various sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, arabinose or ribose) and cystein. MRPs inhibited the tyrosinase purified from potato. The highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity was shown by MRP from glucose and cystein. Ultrasonicated chitosan (over 1 hr) showed antimicrobial activity at the concentration of 1% against E. coli and S. aureus. For the development of antibrowning agent with antimicrobial activity, tyrosinase inhibitory and antimicrobial activity by the mixtures of ultrasonicated chitosan and MRP were tested. 1:1 mixture of ultrasonicated chitosan and MRP from glucose and cystein was the best antibrowning agent having antimicrobial activity.

  • Tyrosinase plays an important role in the process of melanin biosynthesis, and it is a biochemical target enzyme for skin-whitening agents and the remedy for disturbances in pigmentation. We have screened 25 natural plant extracts for inhibitory effects against DOPA oxidase activity of tyrosinase. For the inhibitory effect against DOPA oxidase activity of tyrosinase, the recombinant human tyrosinase and the purified mushroom tyrosinase were used. Each of the dried plants extracted with methanol, and then the extracts were subjected to sequential fractionations with methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water, respective The methylene chloride fractions of Angelica tenuissima, Nardostachys chinensis, Bombyx mop and Saposhnikovia divaricata, and the n-butanol fraction of Bombyx mori notably inhibited the human tyrosinase activity as well as mushroom tyrosinase activity (more than 90% inhibition). This study suggests that the above extracts have a potential as whitening agents as single ingredients or in combination with other of the extracts.

  • Molecular docking of polyhydroxy substituted flavone analogues (1-25) as substrate molecules to the active site of tyrosinase (PDB ID: Deoxy-form (2ZMX) & Oxy-form (1WX2)) and Free-Wilson analysis were studied to understand the roles of hydroxyl substituents ($R_1-R_9$) in substrate molecules for the tyrosinase inhibitory activation. It is founded from Free-Wilson analysis that the $R_1$=hydroxyl among $R_1-R_9$ substituents had the strongest influence on the tyrosinase inhibitory activity. H-bonds between the hydroxyl substituents of substrate molecules and amino acid residues in the active site of tyrosinase were contributed to make a stable substrate-receptor complex compound. Particularly, it is proposed from the findings that the noncompetitive inhibitory activation would take place via H-bonding between peroxide oxygen (Per404) atom in the active site of tyrosinase and the hydroxyl substituents in substrate molecule.

  • It is difficult to accurately evaluate the effect of lipophilic compounds in aqueous reaction system of enzymes because they are immiscible with water. To screen lipophilic inhibitors of tyrosinase which catalyzes the synthesis of melanin in vivo, an optically clear organic system composed of organic solvent, surfactant, and water, often called reverse micelles(RM), was introduced. Optimal RM to let tyrosinase act normally was composed of isooctane as an organic solvent and dioctyl sulfosuccinate(AOT) of 100 mM as a surfactant. When a molar ratio of water to surfactant was 15, tyrosinase(105.3 units) in RM showed a similar reactivity toward 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine(0.18 mM) as in the aqueous assay system. In the presence of cinnamic acid, the product formation of tyrosinase reaction was proportional to the reaction time. This indicates that the inhibitory effect of lipophilic compounds could be analyzed in RM.

  • This study investigated the water extracts of fallen pear (FPWE) on tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis. In the present study, we examined the effects of FPWE on mushroom tyrosinase activity in vitro, B16F10 melanoma cell tyrosinase activity, melanin contents, and expression of melanogenic enzyme proteins such as tyrosinase. An apparent down-regulatory effect on tyrosinase activity was observed when B16F10 cells were incubated with FPWE. Results of melanin assay using B16F10 cells treated with different concentrations (50, 125, and $250{\mu}g/mL$) of FPWE showed a dose-dependent decrease in melanin content. To determine whether or not FPWE indirectly affects tyrosinase activity, we assessed mushroom tyrosinase activity upon treatment with various concentrations (125, 250, 500, and $1,000{\mu}g/mL$) of FPWE. In addition, we investigated changes in the protein level of tyrosinase by using Western blotting. Tyrosinase and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor expression levels in B16F10 melanoma cells were reduced in a dose-dependent manner by FPWE. These results suggest that FPWE reduced melanin formation by inhibition of tyrosinase activity. Therefore, we suggest that FPWE could be used an effective whitening agent for skin.

  • The purpose of this study was to research the whitening effects of the extract from Angelica gigas Nakai, which is one of the most widely used herbal medicines in Asia. For whitening effects, the tyrosinase inhibition effect of the A. gigas Nakai extract was shown to be greater than 70% at 1,000 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentration. The result of measuring the cell toxicity effect of the extract from A. gigas Nakai on melanoma cells showed 99% toxicity at 500 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentration. The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2), and tyrosinase mRNA expression inhibitory effect by reverse transcription-PCR of the extract from A. gigas Nakai were decreased by 85.7%, 123.9%, 68.8%, and 208%, respectively, at 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentration. All these findings could verify that extract from A. gigas Nakai could have an effect on whitening. Moreover, extract from A. gigas Nakai has great potential as a cosmetic ingredient.

  • Crude extract prepared from sweet potato possessed inhibitory activity toward mushroom tyrosinase. The inhibitory activity was dependent upon the addition amount of sweet potato extract. After heating the sweet potato extract at $95^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, its inhibitory activity retained 37.3%. Its optimum activity was shown at pH ranges of 5.0-7.0. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity was disappeared by dialysis, which suggests the inhibitory activity of sweet potato extract is caused by some compounds of low molecular weight.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of Hexane extract of Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (HFLL)-induced regulation of melanogenesis. An apparent down-regulatory effect of tyrosinase activity was observed when B16F10 cells were incubated with HFLL. Interestingly, HFLL did not inhibit the catalytic activity of cell-free tyrosinase from B16F10 cells, whereas kojic acid directly inhibited tyrosinase activity. Regarding protein levels of melanogenic enzymes, the amounts of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1) were decreased by HFLL, while the amount of tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP-2) slightly was reduced after incubation with HFLL. Treatment with HFLL was found to down-regulate microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). These results suggest that HFLL is an effective inhibitor of pigmentation caused by down regulation via MITF, tyrosinase, and TRP-1 expressions.

  • In this study, the optimum conditions for mycelium culture of the mushroom Tricholoma matsutake and the inhibitory effect of the mycelium extracts no tyrosinase activity have been examined. When the extracts of the Tricholoma matsutake mycelia were tested for inhibitory activity on tyrosinase, it was found that the components extracted with ethyl acetate and water showed the highest inhibitory activity. The effect of antioxidants on the growth of mycelium and tyrosinase-inhibiting activity was also investigated. The results showed that tocopherol inhibited the growth in a concentration-dependent manner. In terms of tyrosinase-inhibiting activity, however, tocopherol was found to enhance the inhibitory activity.
