Tyrosinase-IN-3 (compound 54) is a powerful tyrosinase inhibitor, 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].
