MAY 17, 2024
The study screened and identified furochromenones that impact tyrosinase activity. One of the furochromenones ( 3k ) inhibited while another ( 4f ) stimulated tyrosinase. Abstract Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of melanin pigment. While the excess production of melanin causes hyperpigmentation of human skin, hypopigmentation results in medical conditions like vitiligo.
