4-Hexylresorcinol, a potent inhibitor of mushroom tyrosinase
1993
Dawley, R.M. | Flurkey, W.H.
4-hexylresorcinol (4HR) was a potent inhibitor of mushroom tyrosinase in crude extracts, causing 90% loss of activity at 100 micromolar. The concentration of 4HR needed to cause 50% inhibition (150) was approximately 5 micromolar. Partially purified tyrosinase was inhibited by lower concentrations of 4HR and was characterized with an I50 of approximately 1 micromolar. Electrophoretic analysis, coupled with isoenzyme staining in the presence and absence of 4HR, showed inhibition of tyrosinase isoforms but not of laccase isoforms.
