To discover novel anti-melanogenic compounds with tyrosinase inhibitory activity, (Z)-3-benzyl-5-benzylidene-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one ((Z)-BBTT) analogs 1&ndash:12, designed based on the hybrid structure of a &beta:-phenyl-&alpha:,&beta:-unsaturated carbonyl motif and a 3-benzyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one scaffold, were synthesized as novel tyrosinase inhibitors. Of the 12 analogs, 2 (6 and 8) showed mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity similar to that of kojic acid, a representative tyrosinase inhibitor, and 3 analogs (1&ndash:3) exhibited mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity that was more potent than that of kojic acid. In particular, analog 3 revealed highly potent inhibition with an IC50 value of 90 nM, which was 214 times lower than that of kojic acid (IC50 value = 19.22 &mu:M). A kinetic study using mushroom tyrosinase and analogs 1&ndash:3 and 6 demonstrated that these analogs were competitive inhibitors, which was further supported by in silico studies. Analogs 1 and 3 have strong anti-melanogenic potency in B16F10 mammalian cells owing to their anti-tyrosinase activity without perceptible cytotoxicity in melanoma cells (B16F10) and the main epidermal cells (HaCaT). Moreover, analog 3 exhibited strong antioxidant capacity, scavenging reactive oxygen species, 2,2&prime:-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) cation radical, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical, partially contributing to its anti-melanogenic effect. (Z)-BBTT analogs, including analog 3, may be promising candidates for inhibiting melanin production.
