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.

Design, synthesis of Cinnamyl-paeonol derivatives with 1, 3-Dioxypropyl as link arm and screening of tyrosinase inhibition activity in vitro.

TL;DR: The results indicated that compounds 8, 13 and 14 had better tyrosinase inhibitory activity and anti-melanogenesis activity and especially, the compound 13 has potentiality to develop novel tyosinase inhibitors and whitening agents.

Thermodynamic, kinetic and docking studies of some unsaturated fatty acids-quercetin derivatives as inhibitors of mushroom tyrosinase

TL;DR: Computer simulations and experimental analysis demonstrated that the ligands increased the mushroom tyrosinase stability by reducing the activity of enzyme, and ligand I showed the potent inhibitory and played an important role in enzyme stability.

Antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition activities of α- mangostin and Garcinia mangostana Linn. pericarp extracts

TL;DR: In this paper, methanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether crude extracts of mangosteen pericarp and α- mangostin were evaluated for the antioxidant capacity and tyrosinase inhibition properties.

Melanogenesis inhibition by a crude extract of Magnolia officinalis

TL;DR: MOE was proven to be a good candidate as a skin-whitening agent for treatment of skin hyperpigmentation by demonstrating that MOE inhibits melanogenesis of B16 cells by a pre-translational regulation on tyrosinase gene expression.
