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.

A novel synthetic compound, (Z)-5-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-iminothiazolidin-4-one (MHY773) inhibits mushroom tyrosinase.

TL;DR: Data suggest that MHY773 suppressed the melanin production via the inhibition of tyrosinase activity, and is a promising for the development of effective pharmacological and cosmetic agents for skin-whitening.

Depigmentation of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-treated melanoma cells by β-mangostin is mediated by selective autophagy.

TL;DR: The results suggest that β‐mangostin inhibits the melanogenesis induced by α‐MSH via an autophagy‐dependent mechanism, and thus, the depigmentation effect of α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone‐mediated melanogenesis may depend on autophile targeted at the melanosome rather than non‐selective autophagic.

Inhibition of tyrosinase activity and melanin production by the chalcone derivative 1-(2-cyclohexylmethoxy-6-hydroxy-phenyl)-3-(4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl)-propenone

TL;DR: Chalcone-21 strongly inhibited cellular melanin production and tyrosinase activity in B16F10 melanoma cells stimulated with α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) or protoporphyrin IX and was demonstrated to be an effective depigmenting agent.

Advances in the Tyrosinase Inhibitors from Plant Source

TL;DR: Recent trends in the discovery of tyrosinase inhibitors from plant sources are reported to provide a rationale for the continued study of natural tyrosINase inhibitors, and to recognise the potential therapeutic rewards associated with the identification of these agents.

The effect of time and origin of harvest on the in vitro biological activity of Palmaria palmata protein hydrolysates

TL;DR: The results show that Palmaria palmata hydrolysates may have potential applications as health enhancing ingredients and as food preservatives due to their antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory effects.

Chemical and Instrumental Approaches to Treat Hyperpigmentation

TL;DR: This review describes the different approaches to obtain depigmentation, suggests a classification of whitening molecules on the basis of the mechanism by which they interfere with melanogenesis, and confirms the necessity to apply standardized protocols to evaluate depigmenting treatments.
