Eight hydroxylated stilbene derivatives including resveratrol, desoxyrhapontigenin and piceatannol as potential radical scavenger and tyrosinase inhibitor are synthesized using optimized Wittig-Horner reaction for excellent trans-selectivity in good yields. Antioxidant activity was tested against ABTS radical and tyrosinase inhibitory activity was performed with L-tyrosine as the substrate based on previous procedure with some modification. In general, catecholic stilbenes showed stronger activity against ABTS radical and resorcinolic moiety showed stronger tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Synthetic piceatannol which containing both catecholic and resorcinolic moieties showed the strongest activity in both as ABTS radical scavenger and tyrosinase inhibitor with $IC_{50}$ values of 4.1 and $8.6\;{\mu}M$, respectively.

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme to control the biosynthesis of melanin pigments and has two enzyme activities, namely of 1-tyrosine hydroxylase and of 1-dopa oxidase. Thus, tyrosinase is regarded as a target in skin-whitening and therapeutic intervention of local hyperpigmentation diseases. We have tested tyrosinase inhibitory activity on the water extracts of 50 species oriental medicinal plant. Among them, five medicinal plants, Linderae Radix, Clematidis Radix, Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus, Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus and Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae were investigated strong inhibition effect. Five medicinal plants were fractionated using organic solvents (methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, water). Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus (ethyl acetate fraction) was investigated strong inhibition effect. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity below $IC_{50}\;40{\mu}g/ml$ is confirmed in five herbal plants that are Linderae Radix, Clematidis Radix, Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus, Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus and Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae. Tyrosinase inhibitory levels ($IC_{50}\;{\mu}g/ml$) of each plants were 15.56, 35.02, 25.14, 15.20 and 39.77. We also investigate the effect of effective plant's fraction. in dose of $100{\mu}g/ml$, Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus (P-36) EtOAc fraction significant inhibitory effect over 50%. Clematidis Radix (P-35) and Cinnamomi Cortex Spissus (P-36) MC fraction inhibit tyrosinase each 36.60% and 43.21%. inhibitory rates of Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus (P-40) EtOAc and $H_2O$ fraction are 31.40% and 31.51%. Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae (P-45) BuOH fraction regulate tyrosinase activity to 37.71%. We examined tyrosinase inhibitory activity of natural products and these results suggest that several herbs have potential as a new whitening material.

본 연구에서는 포도 가공 부산물인 포도씨를 이용하여 피부노화 및 색소침착에 관련된 tyrosinase 저해활성을 알아보고자 하였으며 폴리페놀 화합물과 총항산화력과의 상관관계를 비교·분석하고자 하였다. 포도씨 80% 메탄올 추출물은 hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, water 층의 순서로 분획 되었다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 각 분획물보다 crude한 형태인 methanol 추출물의 효과가 더 높았으며 분획물 중 ethyl acetate 층이 가장 높은 tyrosinase 저해활성을 나타내었고 추출물과 분획물 모두 농도 의존적인 경향을 나타내었다. 포도씨 분획물 중 ethyl acetate층이 polyphenol과 flavonoid 함량이 가장 높았고 ABTS 라디칼 소거능 또한 가장 높은 결과를 나타내었으며 water 분획층도 비교적 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과 tyrosinase 활성과 항산화 성분,항산화 활성 경향이 일치하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며 포도씨는 미백, 항노화 효과로 화장품 산업에서 천연 물질로 잠재적인 기능성을 가지고 있을 것으로 사료된다.

체내에서 멜라닌 생합성을 촉매하는 tyrosinase에 대한 천연의 지용성 저해제 발굴을 위하여, isooctane/AOT(100 mM)/인산완충용액(20 mM, pH 8.0)으로 구성되고 tyrosinase(105.3 units/mL)와 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-alanine(0.18 mM)을 함유한 역미셀계에서 식물체 75종의 petroleum ether 추출물이 tyrosinase 반응을 억제하는 효과를 분석하였다. 조사대상 식물체중에서 마늘이 in vitro 멜라닌 합성 반응을 완전히 저해하였고(100%), 모과, 고구마, 양파, 무순, 사과의 저해활성이 60% 이상이었다. 한약재와 향신료 중에서는 로즈마리, 고수, 계피, 산사자, 측백엽, 오매, 두충, 박하, 정향이 60% 이상의 저해능을 보였다. 그리고 각 식물체의 tyrosinase 저해효과와 더불어 추출수율을 함께 고려했을 때, 단위 원재료로부터 tyrosianse 저해제 생산을 많이 할 수 있는 소재를 선정할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 역미셀계를 이용함으로서 기존에는 분석이 어려웠던 지용성 물질의 tyrosinase 저해효과를 측정할 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Flammulina velutipes extracts on tyrosinase activity and to identify its biologically active component. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts showed potent tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Subsequently, fractions of the n-butanol extract showed only a partial tyrosinase inhibitory activity. The most active compound of tyrosinase inhibitory activity was identified from the ethyl acetate extract as 1',3'-dilinolenoyl-2'-linoleoylglycerol (LnLLn) by comparing its mass, $^1H-$, and $^{13}C-NMR$spectral data with those previously reported in the literature. LnLLn showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$value of 16.1 ${\mu}g/ml$. These results suggest that the ethyl acetate extract of F. velutipes could be applicable for the development of a new whitening agent.

Whitening agents derived from natural sources which do not have side effects are sought after. Schizophragma hydrangeoides is an edible plant that grows wild on Jeju Island. We aimed to determine whether S. hydrangeoides extracts show anti-melanogenic activity. Here, we found that 70% ethanol extracts of S. hydrangeoides leaf suppressed α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-induced melanogenesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. This activity of anti-melanogenesis in B16F10 cells were investigated by determining melanin content and tyrosinase activity, and by performing western blotting. The 70% ethanol extract downregulated tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1. In addition, the n-hexane fraction of S. hydrangeoides leaf (HFSH) exhibited significant anti-melanogenic activity among the various solvent fractions tested without reducing the viability of B16F10 cells. Taken together, these results indicate that extracts from S. hydrangeoides leaf can influence cellular processes via modulation of tyrosinase activity. Hence, S. hydrangeoides can be used as a whitening agent in the cosmetic industry and as a therapeutic agent for treating hyperpigmentation disorders in the clinic.

To develop an active material for skin darkening, we examined the effect of 300 plants on tyrosinase activity and found only Caesalpinia sappan has an ability to increase tyrosinase activity highly and melanin contents in B-16 melanoma cells. A compound increasing tyrosinase activity and melanin production was isolated from Caesalpinia sappan Lignum. Brazilin was identified as a new active agent. Brazilin increases the tyrosinase activity and malanin production of B-16 melanoma cells. In conclusion, it seems that brazilin cal be used as a new sunless tanning agent.

기질 화합물로써 일련의 phenyl-2,2'-methylenebis(cyclohexane-1,3-dione) 유도체(1-22)들의 치환기($R_1$ 및 $R_2$)가 변화함에 따른 tyrosinase 활성저해에 대한 분자 홀로그래피적인 정량적 구조-활성관계(HQSAR) 모델을 유도하였다. 그리고 tyrosinase 저해활성에 미치는 구조상 요소들의 분석결과에 근거하여 높은 tyrosinase 저해활성을 보이는 새로운 tyrosinase 저해활성 분자를 설계하였다. 또한, 통계적으로 양호한 E-2 모델(상관성; $r_2$ = 0.929 및 예측성; $q_2$ = 0.564)을 유도하였으며 설계된 화합물, P1 ($Pred.pI_{50}$ = 5.48)는 기준물질로 사용된 kojic acid에 비하여 약 13.4배 높은 저해활성을 나타낼 것으로 예측되었다.

In order to develop hydroquinone analogues for topical delivery, a structure-activity relationship study has been performed. A series of 2-substituted hydroquinones were tested for their ability to inhibit mushroom tyrosinase, alter melanin release and exert cytotoxicity in B6-F10 melanocytes. The electronic property of the 2-substituents did not affect the tyrosinase inhibition nor melanocyte toxicity. However, lipophilicity did affect to some degree the tyrosinase inhibition. The discrepancy in the structure-activity relationship may be due to the poor aqueous solubility of select analogues. Compounds with steric bulk at the 2-position seems to be less soluble, not enabling the analogue to interact effectively with the tyrosinase enzyme. Among the analogues tested, 2-isopropyl hydroquinone seems to be the most promising candidate for topical delivery, being the least toxic analogue with moderate melanin release inhibition.

In this study, we investigated on antioxidative activities and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of methanol extract and its fractions from roots of Arctium lappa. The total phenolic compound and flavonoid content of the ethylacetate fraction was found to be 818.29 mg/g and 360.59 mg/g as the highest content. In the measurement of DPPH radical scavenging ability and tyrosinase inhibitory activity, the ethylacetate fraction was higher than the other fractions and the extract. In addition, comparative analysis of phenolic compounds by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS system under the multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) with negative-ion electrospray ionization mode. The main phenolic compounds in the extract and fractions of roots from Arctium lappa were cynarin and chlorogenic acid. The main phenolic compound of the ethylacetate fraction was cynarin. n-Butanol fraction had a significantly higher chlorogenic acid content than other samples. In conclusion, DPPH radical scavenging ability and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the cynarin-riched ethylacetate fraction showed the highest activity.
