TLDR
This article surveys tyrosinase inhibitors newly discovered from natural and synthetic sources and the inhibitory strength is compared with that of a standard inhibitor, kojic acid, and their inhibitory mechanisms are discussed.
Abstract
Tyrosinase is a multifunctional, glycosylated, and copper-containing oxidase, which catalyzes the first two steps in mammalian melanogenesis and is responsible for enzymatic browning reactions in damaged fruits during post-harvest handling and processing. Neither hyperpigmentation in human skin nor enzymatic browning in fruits are desirable. These phenomena have encouraged researchers to seek new potent tyrosinase inhibitors for use in foods and cosmetics. This article surveys tyrosinase inhibitors newly discovered from natural and synthetic sources. The inhibitory strength is compared with that of a standard inhibitor, kojic acid, and their inhibitory mechanisms are discussed.

Novel anti-melanogenic hexapeptoids, PAL-10 and PAL-12.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that new hexa-peptoids, PAL-10 and PAL-12, can inhibit melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells, a 3D pigmented human skin model and zebrafish and can be used as a new cosmetic ingredient with strong brightening efficacies.

The Molecular Basis of Chemical Chaperone Therapy for Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1A.

TL;DR: The possibility of chemical chaperone therapy for Japanese patients with OCA type 1A missense mutations is explored and it is found that HeLa cells expressing P431L mutant tyrosinase have restored tyosinase activity after treatment with a low-dose tyros in a dose-dependent manner.

Design, synthesis, in vitro evaluation and molecular docking study of N'-Arylidene imidazo [1,2-a] pyridine -2-carbohydrazide derivatives as novel Tyrosinase inhibitors

TL;DR: It was found that compounds bearing 3-nitro (6j) and 4‑hydroxy (6g) moieties on the arylidene pendant exhibited the best Tyrosinase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 7.19 and 8.11 μM, respectively.

Transcriptome expression profiling of fur color formation in domestic rabbits using Solexa sequencing.

TL;DR: Solexa-sequencing technology was used to probe gene expression in dorsal skin tissues sampled from full-sibling Rex rabbits of different colors, and some genes that are related to fur formation were identified, including Tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1) and TyOSinase (TYR), as well as genes with unknown functions.
