Tyrosinase-IN-48 (Compound 3) is a potent and competitive chalcone-based tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.49 µM. Tyrosinase-IN-48 has potent antioxidant potential with significant DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging capacity. Tyrosinase-IN-48 can chelate the binuclear copper ions in the active center of tyrosinase and reduce Cu2+ to Cu+, thereby reducing the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Tyrosinase-IN-48 has low cytotoxicity for HEK293 cells and zebrafish embryo. Tyrosinase-IN-48 shows antibrowning effects to improve food quality and can be used for research of food preservation[1].
