Evaluation of a panel of furochromenones as the activator and inhibitor of tyrosinase

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Among a wide range of tyrosinase-regulating compounds, natural and synthetic derivatives of furochromenones, such as 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), are known to both activate and inhibit tyrosinase. In the present study, we investigated these compounds for their potential as antagonists or agonists of tyrosinase.
