Abstract
Melanin is a substance that plays important roles in several organisms. Its function as an antioxidant and metal-complexing agent makes tyrosinase, the key enzyme that controls melanogenesis, an interesting target for designing inhibitors. In this article, we report a set of piperazine/piperidine amides of benzoic and cinnamic acid derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors with improved potency and drug-likeness. The most potent compound 5b showed a pIC50 of 4.99 in the monophenolase assay, and only compound 3a showed reasonable potency in the diphenolase assay (pIC50, 4.18). These activities are not correlated to antiradical activity, suggesting that the activity is dependent on competition with the substrates. Molecular docking studies indicated that the benzyl substituent of 5b and other analogues perform important interactions in the enzyme that may explain the higher potency of these compounds. Moreover, the compounds present adequate lipophilicity and skin permeability and no relevant cytotoxicity (CC50 > 200 μM) to mammalian cells.

Abstract
In this study, the personal glucose meter (PGM) was first used as a fast and user-friendly meter for analyzing catechol (CA) based on the reduction of the mediator K3[Fe(CN)6] to K4[Fe(CN)6] in the glucose test strip. Then, an easy, low-cost, and convenient PGM-based method for detecting tyrosinase (TYR) activity and sodium benzoate (SBA) was developed on the basis of the TYR-catalyzed reaction. In this method, CA is oxidized to form o-benzoquinone by TYR, thereby reducing the residual amount of CA and the PGM readout. On the other hand, SBA can inhibit the oxidation of CA catalyzed by TYR and increase the residual amount of CA after the enzymatic reaction. Therefore, the activity of TYR is proportional to the difference in the PGM readout of CA, and the concentration of SBA is positively correlated with the residual amount of CA. After the relevant experimental conditions were systematically optimized, the proposed PGM-based method for the detection of TYR and SBA was successfully validated. The liner ranges are 1.0-103.3 U/mL and 6.25-1000 ppm, and the quantification limits are 1.0 U/mL and 6.25 ppm for TYR and SBA, respectively. Moreover, the spiked recovery tests in normal human serum and carbonate beverages (i.e., Cola, Sprite, and Fanta) were performed, and the recoveries (91.6-106.8%) further confirm the applicability of the PGM-based method in real sample analysis.

Abstract
Natural products bear a multivariate biochemical profile with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antitumoral properties. Along with their natural sources, they have been widely used both as anti-aging and anti-melanogenic agents due to their effective contribution in the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by oxidative stress. Their anti-aging activity is mainly related to their capacity of inhibiting enzymes like Human Neutrophil Elastase (HNE), Hyaluronidase (Hyal) and Tyrosinase (Tyr). Herein, we accumulated literature information (covering the period 1965–2020) on the inhibitory activity of natural products and their natural sources towards these enzymes. To navigate this information, we developed a database and server termed ANTIAGE-DB that allows the prediction of the anti-aging potential of target compounds. The server operates in two axes. First a comparison of compounds by shape similarity can be performed against our curated database of natural products whose inhibitory potential has been established in the literature. In addition, inverse virtual screening can be performed for a chosen molecule against the three targeted enzymes. The server is open access, and a detailed report with the prediction results is emailed to the user. ANTIAGE-DB could enable researchers to explore the chemical space of natural based products, but is not limited to, as anti-aging compounds and can predict their anti-aging potential. ANTIAGE-DB is accessed online.

Abstract
Valorisation of mixed food and beverage (F&B) waste was studied for the recovery of sugars via saccharification. Glucoamylase and sucrase were employed to hydrolyse the starch and sucrose present in the mixed F&B waste because of the high cost-effectiveness for such recovery. The Michaelis-Menten kinetics model suggests that preservatives and additives in beverages did not inhibit glucoamylase and sucrase during saccharification. High levels of glucose (228.1 g L-1) and fructose (55.7 g L-1) were efficiently produced within 12 h at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 37.5% (w/v) in 2.5 L bioreactors. An overall conversion yield of 0.17 g sugars per g of mixed F&B waste was obtained in mass balance analysis. Lastly, possible industrial applications of the sugar-rich hydrolysate and by-products are discussed. This study is believed to cast insights into F&B waste recycling via biotechnology to produce high-value added products to promote the establishment of a circular bio-economy.

Abstract
The development of effective tyrosinase inhibitors has become increasingly important in the cosmetic, medicinal, and agricultural industries for application as antibrowning and depigmenting agents. The kinetic mechanisms of action of tyrosinase on monophenols and o-diphenols are complex, particularly in the case of monophenols because of the lag period that occurs at the beginning of the reaction. When enzyme inhibitors are studied, the problem becomes more complicated because the lag period increases, which has led to erroneous identification of the type of inhibition that many compounds exert on the monophenolase activity and the inaccurate determination of their inhibition constants. When the degrees of inhibition of an inhibitor which is analogous to tyrosinase substrates are the same for both monophenolase and diphenolase activities, this means that the inhibitor binds to the same enzymatic species and so the inhibition constants should be similar for both activities. In this study, we demonstrate this typical behavior of substrate-analogous inhibitors and propose a methodology for determining the type of inhibition and the inhibition constants for the monophenolase and diphenolase activities of the enzyme. Benzoic acid and cinnamic acid were used as inhibitors and the monophenol/o-diphenol pairs l-tyrosine/l-dopa and α-methyl-L-tyrosine/α-methyl-L-dopa as substrates.

Abstract
The phenoloxidases (POs) include tyrosinases (EC 1.14.18.1), catecholases (EC 1.10.3.1) and laccases (EC 1.10.3.2) and are known to play a role in the immune defences of many invertebrates. For the Manila clam, Venerupis philippinarum, the exact role is not known, especially with regard to defences against Brown Ring Disease (BRD), which leads to high mortalities along European coasts. In order to understand the role and functioning of PO in V. philippinarum, the first step, and aim of this study, was to biochemically characterize the PO activity in the circulating hemolymph. Various substrates were tested and the common PO substrates L-DOPA, Catechol and dopamine exhibited good affinity with the enzyme and consequent low K(m) values (3.75, 1.97, 4.91 mM, respectively). A single tyrosinase-specific substrate, PHPPA, was oxidized, but the affinity for it was low (K(m) = 47.33 mM). Three tested laccase-specific substrates were oxidized by V. philippinarum PO (PPD, OPD and hydroquinone) and affinity was higher than for PHPPA. The results obtained with the substrate were confirmed by the use of different inhibitors: CTAB, a laccase-specific inhibitor inhibited PO activity greatly but not completely, whereas 4-Hr, specific to catecholases and tyrosinases, inhibited PO activity to a lesser extent. The results lead us to conclude that V. philippinarum PO activity in the circulating hemolymph, is mainly a laccase-like activity but there is also a smaller-scale tyrosinase-like activity. The inhibition mechanisms were also determined using dose-response substrate concentration for an inhibitor concentration equal or close to the IC50. Optimal conditions for the enzyme activity were also determined using L-DOPA as substrate, showing that its optimal temperature and pH are around 40 °C and 8.4 respectively. The enzyme is denatured for temperatures above 50 °C.

Kinetic characterisation of o-aminophenols and aromatic o-diamines as suicide substrates of tyrosinase. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-PROTEINS AND PROTEOMICS 2012; 1824:647-55.

Abstract
We study the suicide inactivation of tyrosinase acting on o-aminophenols and aromatic o-diamines and compare the results with those obtained for the corresponding o-diphenols. The catalytic constants follow the order aromatic o-diamines<o-aminophenols<o-diphenols, which agrees with the view that the transfer of the proton to the peroxide group of the oxy-tyrosinase form is the slowest step in the catalytic cycle. As regards the apparent inactivation constant, it remains within the same order of magnitude, although slightly lower in the case of the aromatic o-diamines and o-aminophenols than o-diphenols: o-diamines<o-aminophenols<o-diphenols. The efficiency of the second nucleophilic attack of substrate on CuA seems to be the determining factor in the bifurcation of the inactivation and catalytic pathways. This attack is more efficient in o-diamines (where it attacks a nitrogen atom) than in o-aminophenols and o-diphenols (where it attacks an oxygen atom), favouring the catalytic pathway and slowing down the inactivation pathway. The inactivation step is the slowest of the whole process. The values of r, the number of turnovers that 1mol of enzyme carries out before being inactivated, follows the order aromatic o-diamines<o-aminophenols<o-diphenols. As regards the Michaelis constants, that of the o-diamines is slightly lower than that of the o-diphenols, while that of the o-aminophenols is slightly greater than that observed for the o-diphenols. As a consequence of the above, the inactivation efficiency, λ(max)/K(m)(S), follows this order: o-diphenols>o-aminophenols>aromatic o-diamines.

Abstract
In this study, the molecular conformation, vibrational and electronic transition analysis of 2,3-difluorobenzoic acid and 2,4-difluorobenzoic acid (C7H4F2O2) were presented using experimental techniques (FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV) and quantum chemical calculations. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra in solid state were recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 4000-5 cm(-1), respectively. The UV absorption spectra of the compounds that dissolved in ethanol were recorded in the range of 200-800 nm. The structural properties of the molecules in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Optimized structure of compounds was interpreted and compared with the earlier reported experimental values. The scaled vibrational wavenumbers were compared with experimental results. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the experimental data and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. A study on the electronic properties, such as absorption wavelength, excitation energy, dipole moment and frontier molecular orbital energy, were performed by time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. Based on the UV spectra and TD-DFT calculations, the electronic structure and the assignments of the absorption bands of steady compounds were discussed. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecules.

Abstract
Three new n-alkyl dithiocarbamate compounds, as sodium salts, C4H9NHCS2Na (I), C6H13NHCS2Na (II) and C8H17NHCS2Na (III), were synthesized and examined for inhibition of both cresolase and catecholase activities of mushroom tyrosinase (MT) from a commercial source of Agaricus bisporus in 10 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.8, at 293K using UV spectrophotometry. Caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid were used as natural substrates for the enzyme for the catecholase and cresolase reactions, respectively. Lineweaver-Burk plots showed different patterns of mixed and competitive inhibition for catecholase and cresolase reactions, respectively. These new synthetic compounds can be classified as potent inhibitors of MT due to Ki values of 0.8, 1.0 and 1.8 microM for cresolase inhibitory activity, and also 9.4, 14.5 and 28.1 microM for catecholase inhibitory activity for I, II and III, respectively. They showed a greater potency in the inhibitory effect towards the cresolase activity of MT. Both substrate and inhibitor can be bound to the enzyme with negative cooperativity between the binding sites (alpha > 1) and this negative cooperativity increases with increasing length of the aliphatic tail in these compounds. The inhibition mechanism is presumably related to the chelating of the binuclear coppers at the active site and the different Ki values may be related to different interaction of the aliphatic chains of I, II and III with the hydrophobic pocket in the active site of the enzyme.

Abstract
A set of novel atom-based molecular fingerprints is proposed based on a bilinear map similar to that defined in linear algebra. These molecular descriptors (MDs) are proposed as a new means of molecular parametrization easily calculated from 2D molecular information. The nonstochastic and stochastic molecular indices match molecular structure provided by molecular topology by using the kth nonstochastic and stochastic graph-theoretical electronic-density matrices, M(k) and S(k), respectively. Thus, the kth nonstochastic and stochastic bilinear indices are calculated using M(k) and S(k) as matrix operators of bilinear transformations. Chemical information is coded by using different pair combinations of atomic weightings (mass, polarizability, vdW volume, and electronegativity). The results of QSAR studies of tyrosinase inhibitors using the new MDs and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) demonstrate the ability of the bilinear indices in testing biological properties. A database of 246 structurally diverse tyrosinase inhibitors was assembled. An inactive set of 412 drugs with other clinical uses was used; both active and inactive sets were processed by hierarchical and partitional cluster analyses to design training and predicting sets. Twelve LDA-based QSAR models were obtained, the first six using the nonstochastic total and local bilinear indices and the last six with the stochastic MDs. The discriminant models were applied; globally good classifications of 99.58 and 89.96 % were observed for the best nonstochastic and stochastic bilinear indices models in the training set along with high Matthews correlation coefficients (C) of 0.99 and 0.79, respectively, in the learning set. External prediction sets used to validate the models obtained were correctly classified, with accuracies of 100 and 87.78 %, respectively, yielding C values of 1.00 and 0.73. This subset contains 180 active and inactive compounds not considered to fit the models. A simulated virtual screen demonstrated this approach in searching tyrosinase inhibitors from compounds never considered in either training or predicting series. These fitted models permitted the selection of new cycloartane compounds isolated from herbal plants as new tyrosinase inhibitors. A good correspondence between theoretical and experimental inhibitory effects on tyrosinase was observed; compound CA6 (IC(50)=1.32 microM) showed higher activity than the reference compounds kojic acid (IC(50)=16.67 microM) and L-mimosine (IC(50)=3.68 microM).

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme, which is widely distributed in microorganisms, animals and plants and is a key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis, involved in determining the color of mammalian skin and hair. In addition, unfavorable enzymatic browning of plant-derived foods by tyrosinase causes a decrease in nutritional quality and economic loss of food products. The inadequacy of current conventional methods to prevent tyrosinase action encourages researchers to seek new potent tyrosinase inhibitors for food and cosmetics. This article presents a study on the importance of tyrosinase, biochemical characteristics, type of inhibitions, activators from various natural sources with its clinical and industrial importance in recent prospects is discussed in this paper.

Abstract
FT-IR and Raman experimental data were assigned to appropriate bond vibrations and used to compare the different electronic charge distributions in the aromatic rings and carboxylic anions of various lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium o-iodobenzoates and picolinates. Then principal component analysis (PCA) was applied in order to attempt to distinguish the biological activities of these compounds according to selected band wavenumbers. The growth of the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis and the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hansenula anomala under optimal growth conditions were measured after 24 hours of incubation by the classical plate method. The influence of the picolinates and o-iodobenzoates on the growth of these microorganisms, again after 24 hours of incubation, was also measured and compared to the effect of sodium benzoate, which was used as a reference material. In general, the o-iodobenzoates exhibited more activity against the microorganisms than the picolinates. A statistically significant linear correlation between the spectral data and the degree of influence of a given compound on microorganism growth was established. The correlation coefficients for the o-iodobenzoates were 0.696, -0.628, 0.693 and 0.755 for E. coli, B. subtilis, H. anomala and S. cerevisiae, respectively, and for the picolinates they were 0.818, 0.826, 0.821 and 0.877 for E. coli, B. subtilis, H. anomala and S. cerevisiae, respectively. Therefore, IR spectroscopy is shown to be a rapid and reliable analytical tool for preliminary estimation of the antimicrobial properties of newly synthesized compounds, that can be applied before microbial performance tests.

Abstract
This paper reviews the results of the intense experimental and theoretical studies on the influence of selected metals on the electronic system of biologically important molecules such as benzoic, 2-hydroxybenzoic and 3-pyridine carboxylic acids as well as 5-carboxyuracil. The research involved following techniques: infrared (FT-IR), Raman (FT-Raman), FT-IR Ar matrix, electronic absorption spectroscopy (UV/visible), nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H, (13)C, (15)N, (17)O NMR), X-ray and quantum mechanical calculations. The influence of metals on the electronic system was examined through comparison of the changes in so called "logical series". The exemplary series are: Li-->Na-->K-->Rb-->Cs, Na(I)-->Ca(II)-->La(III)-->Th(IV); Na(I)-->Mg(II)-->Al(III) or long series of La(III) and fourteen lanthanides La(III)-->Ce(III)-->Lu(III). The correlation between the perturbation of the electronic system of ligands and the position of metals in the periodic table was found. The influence of the carboxylic anion structure and the effect of hydration on the perturbation of the electronic system of molecule were also discussed. The partial explanation in what way metals disturb and stabilize electronic system of studied ligands was done. It is necessary to carry out the physico-chemical studies of benzoates, salicylates, 3-pyridine carboxylates and isoorotates in order to understand the nature of the interactions of these compounds with their biological targets (e.g., receptors in the cell or important cell components). The results of this study make possible to predict some properties of a molecule, such as its reactivity, durability of complex compounds, and kinship to enzymes.

Abstract
3-Amino-L-tyrosine was found to be a substrate of mushroom tyrosinase, contrary to what had previously been reported in the literature. A series of amino derivatives of benzoic acid were tested as substrates and inhibitors of the enzyme. 3-Amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid were oxidized by this enzyme, as previously reported for Neurospora crassa tyrosinase, but 4-aminobenzoic acid and 3-aminobenzoic acid were not. Interestingly, 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid was oxidized five times faster than 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid, confirming the importance of proton transfer from the hydroxyl group at C-4 position. All compounds inhibited the monophenolase activity but their effect on the diphenolase activity was small or negligible. 3-Amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid was a stronger inhibitor than 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid, indicating their different binding affinity to the oxy form of the enzyme. Both, however, were weaker inhibitors than 3-amino-L-tyrosine, 4-methoxy-o-phenylenediamine and 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid, which was the strongest inhibitor from among the compounds tested. These results show that the relative positioning of the amino group and the hydroxy group in o-aminophenols with respect to the side chain is important both for binding to the dicopper center and for catalysis.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (Ty) is a type 3 copper protein involved in the rate-limiting step of melanin synthesis. It is shown that the endogenous Trp fluorescence of tyrosinase from Streptomyces antibioticus is remarkably sensitive to the redox state. The fluorescence emission intensity of the [(Cu(I) Cu(I)] reduced species is more than twice that of the oxygen-bound [Cu(II)-O(2)(2-)-Cu(II)] form. The emission intensity of the oxidized [Cu(II)-OH(-)-Cu(II)] protein (Ty(met)) appears to be dependent on an acid-base equilibrium with a pK(a) value of 4.5 +/- 0.1. The binding of fluoride was studied under pseudo first-order conditions using stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy. The kinetic parameters k(on), K(d), and the fraction of fluorescence emission quenched upon fluoride binding show a similar pH dependence as above with an average pK(a) value of 4.62 +/- 0.05. Both observations are related to the dissociation of Cu(2)-bridging hydroxide at low pH. It is further shown that Ty is rapidly inactivated at low pH and that halide protects the enzyme from this inactivation. All results support the hypothesis that halide displaces hydroxide as the Cu(2)-bridging ligand in Ty(met). The relevance of the experimental findings for the catalytic cycle is discussed. The data are consistent with the data obtained from other techniques, validating the use of fluorescence quenching as a sensitive and effective tool in studying ligand binding and substrate conversion.

Abstract
The activity of the type 3 copper enzyme tyrosinase toward 2-, 3-, and 4-fluorophenol was studied by kinetic methods and (1)H and (19)F NMR spectroscopy. Whereas 3- and 4-fluorophenol react with tyrosinase to give products that undergo a rapid polymerization process, 2-fluorophenol is not reactive and actually acts as a competitive inhibitor in the enzymatic oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa). The tyrosinase-mediated polymerization of 3- and 4-fluorophenols has been studied in detail. It proceeds through a phenolic coupling pathway in which the common reactive fluoroquinone, produced stereospecifically by tyrosinase, eliminates an inorganic fluorine ion. The enzymatic reaction studied as a function of substrate concentration shows a prominent lag that is completely depleted in the presence of L-dopa. The kinetic parameters of the reactions can be correlated to the electronic and steric effects of the fluorine substituent position. Whereas the fluorine electron withdrawing effect appears to control the binding of the substrates (K(m) for 3- and 4-fluorophenols and K(I) for 2-fluorophenol), the k(cat) parameters do not follow the expected trend, indicating that in the transition state some additional steric effect rules the reactivity.

Abstract
Complexes of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, and zinc with m-iodobenzoic acid were studied. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of the mentioned compounds in the solid state and water solutions were recorded and analyzed. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the wavenumbers of selected bands (eight bands) occurring in the vibrational spectra. The numbers obtained as a result of this procedure characterize the electronic properties of the molecule of each complex. The antimicrobial activity of the studied compounds against selected bacteria (Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hansenula anomala) was estimated. The relationship between the chemical properties (as characterized by PCA of the IR spectra) and antimicrobial properties of the compounds was examined, and a good correlation between the two factors was found.

Abstract
This paper presents a new reaction mechanism for the effect of the pH on the suicide inactivation of the diphenolase activity of tyrosinase. The applicability of the mechanism is supported by the experimental characterization of the kinetic behaviour of the frog epidermis enzyme acting on catechol, L-dopa and alpha-methyldopa at several pH values. Two enzyme froms 'met-' and 'oxy-' tyrosinase, but no their corresponding enzyme-diphenol complexes, present one ionizable group with very similar value of Ka which has been determined. The highest values of catalytic and inactivation efficiencies correspond to alpha-methyldopa and catechol, respectively. These kinetic studies have been carried out by using the transient phase approach previously developed, with negligible substrate consumption during the assay time. That illustrate the usefulness of the method for multisubstrate enzyme reactions.
