Tyrosinase-IN-17 (Compound 5b), characterized as a lipophilic, skin-permeable, and non-cytotoxic tyrosinaseinhibitor (pIC 50 = 4.99), is suited for research into melanin-related diseases, including melanoma and melanogenesis [1].
Noroxyhydrastinine exhibits potent melanogenesis-inhibitory activities, it inhibits melanogenesis, at least in part, by inhibiting the expression of protein levels of tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2 in α-MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells.
CAY10761 is an inhibitor of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1; IC50s = 467 and 429 μM for the human and snake venom enzymes, respectively).1,2 It also inhibits mushroom tyrosinase (Ki = 1.9 μM) and urease from jack bean, P. mirabilis, and B. pasteurii (IC50s = 0.093, <0.125, and 0.089 mM, respectively, at pH 8.2).3,4 |1.

Tyrosinase-IN-5 (compound 16c) is a highly effective inhibitor of tyrosinase, exhibiting an IC50 value of 0.02 μM. This compound efficiently suppresses melanogenesis while posing minimal toxicity to cells [1].
Tyrosinase-IN-3 (compound 54) is a powerful tyrosinaseinhibitor, an enzyme involved in the key catalytic step of melanin biosynthesis and enzymatic browning. As a copper-containing metalloenzyme, tyrosinase plays a crucial role in these processes. The compound shows promise for studying skin whitening agents and food preservatives [1].
MtTMPK-IN-4 (compound 2), a para-piperidine, is a highly potent inhibitor of thymidylate kinase (MtTMPK) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, exhibiting an IC50 value of 6.1 μM. Additionally, it possesses remarkable inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. Furthermore, MtTMPK-IN-4 exhibits potent antibacterial properties [1] [2].
