Abstract

Melanin play a major role in human skin protection and their biosynthesis is vital. Due to their color, they contribute to the skin pigmentation. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme involved in the first stage of melanin biosynthesis, it catalyzes the transformation of tyrosine into l- dopaquinone. The aim of the present study was to study molecules able to inhibit tyrosinase to be used in treating depigmentation-related disorders. In this study, we targeted ...
