Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of fucoidan on the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway using both in-silico molecular docking, molecular dynamics, ADMET analysis (in frizzled-8 receptor and LRP6 coreceptor) and in-vitro experiments using MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Through the molecular docking analysis, the binding energies on the frizzled-8 receptor were -5.6, -5.1, -9.4, and -8.8 kcal/mol, respectively. Meanwhile, those on the LRP6 receptor, were -7.3, -6.2, -10.0, and -9.8 kcal/mol, respectively. The results showed that fucoidan had a favorable binding affinity for both receptors. Furthermore, it was discovered to reduce the interaction and binding affinity between Wnt agonists to frizzled-8 and LRP6 receptors. This reduction was reflected in the change in the binding energy of the fucoidan-Wnt agonist-frizzled 8 and fucoidan-Wnt agonist-LRP6 complexes, which exhibited decreases of -7.0 kcal/mol and -7.8 kcal/mol, respectively. Fucoidan was found stable in complexes with frizzled-8 receptor and co-receptor LRP6. ADMET study showed it's non-carcinogenic and can be distributed in the body. Fucoidan effectively inhibited β-catenin production, a critical factor in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The MCF-7 breast cancer cells were treated with fucoidan extract from S. echinocarpum at incubation times of 24, 48, and 72 h, resulting in a reduction of β-catenin levels by 95.19%, 83.88%, and 80.88%, respectively. Fucoidan also shows no significant difference in value compared to fucoidan standard (F. vesiculosus) and doxorubicin. Fucoidan exhibited antiproliferative effects against breast cancer cells, specifically through its modulation of the Wnt/β-Catenin pathway, and held great potential as an herbal anticancer agent.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Wang W, Yang L, Wang W, Zhang J, Engelhardt UH, Jiang H. Inhibitory Activities of Samples on Tyrosinases Were Affected by Enzyme Species and Sample Addition Methods. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076013. [PMID: 37046986 PMCID: PMC10093845 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
The inhibition of tyrosinase (TYR) activity is an effective measure to inhibit melanin synthesis. At present, there are many methods with discrepant details that study the TYR inhibitory activity of samples. Under the same experimental conditions, this paper systematically studies whether enzyme species and sample addition methods are the key factors that determine the TYR inhibitory activity of samples. TYRs extracted from B16F10 cells, apple and mushroom, called BTYR, ATYR and MTYR, respectively, were selected to implement this study. Results showed that TYR inhibitory activities of samples were obviously affected by the above two factors. It was necessary to select the appropriate enzyme according to the problems to be explained. It was speculated that indirectly inhibitory activity reflected the comprehensive effects of samples on TYR catalytic activity and intracellular TYR synthesis pathway, while directly inhibitory activity reflected the effects of samples on TYR catalytic activity. Additionally, kojic acid could be used as a positive control for both B16F10 cells and MTYR models. The TYR inhibitory activity of β-arbutin was complicated and fickle, while that of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was universal and stable, which is to say, EGCG always inhibited TYR activity in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the TYR inhibitory activities of samples were affected by enzyme species and sample addition methods. Compared with the unstable β-arbutin, EGCG was more valuable for clinical research.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme for melanin production in plant and mammalian cells. Upregulation of this enzyme results in hyperpigmentation disorders. In order to treat pigmentation problems, novel skin whitening compounds are extremely screened. It is found that fatty acids based on their saturation levels either increase or decrease tyrosinase enzyme activity. Thus, fatty acids and their compositions are promising candidates for the treatment of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation disorders. Microalgae are rich in both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, as well. In this study, C. cohnii and S. limacinum fatty acids were evaluated as tyrosinase inhibitor candidates. Mushroom tyrosinase activity studies displayed that both extracts increase tyrosinase enzyme activity dose-dependently. On the other hand, S. limacinum at 200 µg ml-1 concentration almost decreased half of tyrosinase enzyme activity in B16-F10 cells. Besides, it was 3 times more efficient for tyrosinase enzyme activity inhibition and 2 times more effective to decrease melanin synthesis compared to C. cohnii. Considering low toxicity to B16-F10 melanoma and healthy keratinocyte cells (HaCaT), S. limacinum fatty acids could be a suitable source for lipid-based tyrosinase inhibitory functional cosmetics products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Melanin is a skin pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. The accumulation or over production of melanin can lead to aesthetic problems as well as serious diseases associated with hyperpigmentation. Skin lightening is described as the procedure of using natural or synthetic products to lighten the skin tone or provide an even skin complexion by reducing the amount of melanin in the skin; therefore, skin lightening products help people to treat their skin problems. Ingredients such as hydroquinone, ascorbic acid, and retinoic acid were used as whitening agents to lighten the skin. However, they have many adverse effects on the skin and body health, such as skin irritation. AIM In this review, firstly, discuss on the directly/indirectly target melanogenesis-related signal pathways. Secondly, summarize potential natural bioactive ingredients with skin lightening properties from plants, marine organisms, microorganisms. Finally, the remaining problems and future challenges are also discussed. METHODS For relevant literature, a literature search was conducted using Google Scholar and Web of Science. Natural bioactive compounds, tyrosinase inhibitors, and other related topics were researched and evaluated. RESULTS Natural products isolated from plant and animal resources are potential active cosmetic candidates for lightening the skin tone and skin whitening and protection against UV irradiation. Natural bioactive ingredients as cosmetic whitening additives have attracted increasingly attention due to their safety and cost effectiveness, with few side effects. CONCLUSION Although natural active substances have been advocated for use in whitening cosmetics in recent years, there are still many challenges due to the fact that traditional inhibitors are used perennial in cosmetics which cannot be easily changed and the research on natural active substances is still in its infancy. In the future, by improving the extraction technique of natural extracts, it is achieved to give a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the active ingredients of the extracts, to determine the effect of the active components of action, and to find the substances that have the best possible whitening effect in natural organisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SiNiSan (SNS) is an ancient Chinese herbal prescription, and the current clinical treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is effective. In the previous study of the research team, the multi-functional co-synergism of SNS against IBS was presented. Some potential drug targets and candidate ligands were predicted. PURPOSE This study attempts to explore the crucial ingredient combinations from SNS formula and reveal their synergistic mechanism for IBS therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In present study, a comprehensive strategy was performed to reveal IBS related pathways and biological modules, and explore synergistic effects of the ingredients, including ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) screening, Text mining, Venn analysis, Gene ontology (GO) analysis, Pathway cluster analysis, Molecular docking, Network construction and Experimental verification in visceral hypersensitivity (VHS) rats. RESULTS Three compressed IBS signal pathways were derived from ClueGO KEGG analysis of 63 IBS genes, including Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, Inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP (transient receptor potential) channels and Serotonergic synapse. A multi-module network, composed of four IBS therapeutic modules (psychological, inflammation, neuroendocrine and cross-talk modules), was revealed by Target-Pathway network. Nine kernel targets were considered closely associated with the IBS pathways, including ADRA2A, HTR2A, F2RL1, F2RL3, TRPV1, PKC, PKA, IL-1Β and NGF. In silico analysis revealed that three crucial ingredients (synephrine, paeoniflorin and naringin) were assumed to coordinate the network of those IBS therapeutic modules by acting on these kernel targets in the important pathways. In vivo experimental results showed that the crucial ingredient combinations synergistically affected the expressions of the kernel biological molecules, and improved the minimum capacity threshold of AWR in VHS rats. CONCLUSION The study proposes the important IBS associated pathways and the network regulation mechanisms of the crucial ingredients. It reveals the multi-target synergistic effect of the crucial ingredient combinations for the novel therapy on IBS.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a key metalloenzyme for the biosynthesis of melanin that plays a critical role in the prevention of skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, the overproduction of melanin may cause a variety of skin diseases. Due to the toxicity and inefficiency of existing tyrosinase inhibitors, it is urgent to identify safe and potent alternatives from natural sources. Theaflavin, a single-component extracted from black tea, has been found to possess a variety of pharmacological activities. Herein, the inhibition kinetics of theaflavin on tyrosinase and inhibitory mechanism were determined using spectroscopy, molecular docking, and zebrafish model. The results showed that theaflavin inhibited the diphenolase activity of tyrosinase in a reversible mixed type manner with IC50 of 229.75 μmol/L and hindered the synthesis of melanin in zebrafish. This may be due to the formation of eight hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic effects between theaflavin and tyrosinase according to the results of molecular docking. To study the possible effects on the prevention of free radical-mediated skin cancer and photoaging caused by UV radiation, the antioxidation and UV filter properties of theaflavin were further verified. This study demonstrates that theaflavin is a potential multifunctional compound that can be used in cosmetic and medicinal products.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme for controlling the production of melanin in the human body, and overproduction of melanin can lead to a variety of skin disorders. In this paper, the inhibitory kinetics of phloretin on tyrosinase and their binding mechanism were determined using spectroscopy, molecular docking, antioxidant assays and chromatography. The spectroscopic results indicate that phloretin reversibly inhibits tyrosinase in a mix-type manner through a multiphase kinetic process with the IC50 of 169.36 μmol/L. It is shown that phloretin has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of tyrosinase mainly through a static quenching procedure, suggesting that a stable phloretin-tyrosinase complex is generated. Molecular docking results suggest that the dominant conformation of phloretin binds to the gate of the active site of tyrosinase. Moreover, the antioxidant assays demonstrate that phloretin has powerful antioxidant capacity and has the ability to reduce o-dopaquinone to l-dopa just like ascorbic acid. Interestingly, the results of spectroscopy and chromatography indicate that phloretin is a substrate of tyrosinase but also an inhibitor. The possible inhibitory mechanism is proposed, which will be helpful to design and search for tyrosinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Fucoidan from Laminaria japonica is a kind of sulfate polysaccharide with high molecular weight (MW) and broad bioactivities. This study was performed to investigate the relationship between MW and whitening activity of fucoidan and to exploit a novel functional ingredient for whitening cosmetics. High sulfate content fucoidan was enzymic degraded by Flavobacterium RC2-3 produced fucoidanase. Two hours were enough for the enzyme degradation to achieve degraded fucoidan with favorable tyrosinase inhibitory ability. The whitening activity of different MW fucoidan fractions were evaluated by their tyrosinase inhibitory ability, antioxidant activity and cellular melanogenesis inhibitory ability. Results showed that in the MW range above 5 kDa, the smaller MW of fucoidan were related to the better whitening activity. The fucoidan fraction with the MW between 5-10 kDa, presented the best tyrosinase inhibitory activity (62.0%), antioxidant activity (48.3%) and excellent anti-melanogenesis ability in B16 cells, which could be applied as the whitening factor in cosmetics development.

Abstract
In recent years, the natural ingredients are in high demand in formulating the cosmetic products. Seaweed polysaccharides signify the attractive natural ingredient with a wide range of functional properties that are expected for cosmeceutical formulations. The present work aimed to study the skin protection ability of polysaccharides extracted from Sargassum vachellianum (SvP), Sargassum horneri (ShoP) and Sargassum hemiphyllum (SheP). The extracted crude polysaccharides were characterized by HPLC and FTIR, which revealed that the polysaccharides are fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides. Skin whitening and anti-wrinkling activity were analyzed by the ability to inhibit tyrosinase and elastase. The results revealed that the ShoP showed maximum tyrosinase inhibition (64.72 ± 0.46%) and SvP exhibited considerable elastase inhibition (30.12 ± 0.33%). The maximum moisture absorption (79.7 ± 0.62%) and retention (68.99 ± 0.64%) ability were observed in ShoP. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH, superoxide radical scavenging, reducing power and total antioxidant activity. All the tested polysaccharides showed antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner, among them ShoP exhibited maximum total antioxidant (80.93 ± 0.17%) and superoxide radical scavenging activity (67.4 ± 0.42%) whereas SheP showed maximum DPPH radical scavenging activity (74.56 ± 0.10%). Therefore, the present study indicates the potential of polysaccharides, ShoP, SvP and SheP as a promising cosmetic ingredient in cosmeceuticals.

Abstract
The cosmetics industry is one of the most profitable in the world today. This multi-billion-dollar industry has a profound sociological impact worldwide. Its influence is global, with most individuals being concerned with conserving their physical appearance, beauty, and youth. The consumers' desire for novel, better, and safer products has stimulated the utilization of natural-product-based cosmeceutical formulations over synthetic chemicals. With remarkable advancements in marine bioresource technology, algal polysaccharides have gained much attention as bioactive ingredients in cosmeceuticals. Algae biosynthesize a variety of polysaccharides including fucoidans, alginates, carrageenans, galactans, agar, porphyran, glucans, and ulvans, all of which exhibit distinctive structural and functional properties. Many of these materials have been proven to possess skin-protective effects, including anti-wrinkle, lightening, moisturizing, UV protective, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, they have a wide spectrum of physicochemical properties, such as the ability to form hydrogels, which extend their utilization as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and viscosity controlling ingredients in cosmeceuticals. Accordingly, algal hydrocolloids and their synthetic derivatives can also be applied in tissue engineering and cosmetic surgery. The challenge is to increase awareness about these polysaccharides and consequently generate value-added products. This review discusses the beneficial biological and physicochemical properties of algal polysaccharides, highlighting their potential in cosmeceutical applications.

Int J Biol Macromol 2018; 112:667-674.

Abstract
Fucoidans are complex sulfated polysaccharides that have a wide range of biological activities. Previously, we reported the various effects of Fucus vesiculosus fucoidan on tyrosinase and B16 melanoma cells. In this study, to identify fucoidan-targeted proteins in B16 melanoma cells, we performed a proteomics study and integrated enzyme kinetics. We detected 19 candidate proteins dysregulated by fucoidan treatment. Among the probed proteins, the enzyme kinetics of two candidate enzymes, namely lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as an upregulated protein and superoxide dismutase (SOD) as a downregulated enzyme, were determined. The enzyme kinetics results showed that Fucus vesiculosus fucoidan significantly inhibited LDH catalytic function while it did not affect SOD activity even at a high dose, while only slightly decreased activity (up to 10%) at a low dose. Based on our previous and present observations, fucoidan could inhibit B16 melanoma cells growth via regulating proteins/enzymes expression levels such as LDH and SOD known as cell survival biomarkers. Interestingly, both expression level and enzyme catalytic activity of LDH were regulated by fucoidan, which could directly induce the apoptotic effect on B16 melanoma cells along with SOD downregulation. This study highlights how combining proteomics with enzyme kinetics can yield valuable insights into fucoidan targets.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme for controlling the production of melanin in the human body, and overproduction of melanin can lead to a variety of skin disorders. In this paper, the inhibitory kinetics of Dihydromyricetin (DHM) on tyrosinase and their binding mechanism were determined using spectroscopy, molecular docking, antioxidant assays, and chromatography. The spectroscopic results indicate that DHM reversibly inhibits tyrosinase in a mixed-type manner through a multiphase kinetic process with the IC50 of 849.88 μM. It is shown that DHM has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of tyrosinase mainly through a static quenching procedure, suggesting that a stable DHM-tyrosinase complex is generated. Molecular docking results suggest that the dominant conformation of DHM does not directly bind to the active site of tyrosinase. Moreover, the antioxidant assays demonstrate that DHM has powerful antioxidant and reducing capacity but does not have the ability to reduce dopachrome to L-DOPA. Interestingly, the results of spectroscopy and chromatography indicate that DHM is a substrate of tyrosinase but not a suicide substrate. The possible inhibitory mechanism is proposed, which will be helpful to design and search for tyrosinase inhibitors.

Abstract
There is a rapid increase in the demand for natural hypopigmenting agents from marine sources for cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical applications. Currently, marine macroalgae are considered as a safe and effective source of diverse bioactive compounds. Many research groups are exploring marine macroalgae to discover and characterize novel compounds for cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Many types of bioactive secondary metabolites from marine algae, including phlorotannins, sulfated polysaccharides, carotenoids, and meroterpenoids, have already been documented for their potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Among these metabolites, phlorotannins from brown algae have been widely screened for their pharmaceutical and hypopigmenting effects. Unfortunately, the majority of these articles did not have detailed investigations on molecular targets, which is critical to fulfilling the criteria for their cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical use. Very recently, a few meroterpenoids have been discovered from Sargassum sp., with the examination of their anti-melanogenic properties and mechanisms. Despite the scarcity of in vivo and clinical investigations of molecular mechanistic events of marine algae-derived hypopigmenting agents, identifying the therapeutic targets and their validation in humans has been a major challenge for future studies. In this review, we focused on available data representing molecular mechanisms underlying hypopigmenting properties of potential marine brown alga-derived compounds.

Abstract
Background: : Fucoidan is a complex sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed and has a wide variety of biological activities. It not only inhibits cancer cell growth but also inhibits tyrosinase in vitro. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the effect of fucoidan on B16 murine melanoma cells as the findings may provide new insights into the underlying mechanism regarding the inhibition of melanin formation by fucoidan. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the anti-melanogenic effect of fucoidan and its inhibitory effect on B16 cells. Materials and Methods: The influence of fucoidan on B16 melanoma cells and cellular tyrosinase was examined. Cell viability was examined by the cell counting kit-8 assay. Cellular tyrosinase activity and melanin content were determined using spectrophotometric methods and protein expression was analyzed by immunoblotting. Morphological changes in B16 melanoma cells were examined by phase contrast microscopy and apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: In vitro studies were performed using cell viability analysis and showed that fucoidan significantly decreased viable cell number in a dose-response manner with an IC50 of 550 ±4.3 µg/mL. Cell morphology was altered and significant apoptosis was induced when cells were exposed to 550 µg/mL fucoidan for 48 h. Conclusion: This study provides substantial evidence to show that fucoidan inhibits B16 melanoma cell proliferation and cellular tyrosinase activity. Fucoidan may be useful in the treatment of hyperpigmentation and as a skin-whitening agent in the cosmetics industry.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is an oxidase that is the rate-limiting enzyme for controlling the production of melanin in the human body. Overproduction of melanin could lead to a variety of skin disorders. Glabridin, an isoflavan, isolated from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn, has exhibited several pharmacological activities, including excellent inhibitory effects on tyrosinase. In this paper, the inhibitory kinetics of glabridin on tyrosinase and their binding mechanisms were determined using spectroscopic, zebrafish model and molecular docking techniques. The results indicate that glabridin reversibly inhibits tyrosinase in a noncompetitive manner through a multiphase kinetic process with the IC50 of 0.43μmol/L. It has been shown that glabridin had a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of tyrosinase mainly through a static quenching procedure, suggesting a stable glabridin-tyrosinase complex may be generated. The results of molecular docking suggest that glabridin did not directly bind to the active site of tyrosinase. Moreover, according to the results of zebrafish model system, glabridin shows no effects on melanin synthesis in zebrafish but presents toxicity to zebrafish embryo. The possible inhibitory mechanisms, which will help to design and search for tyrosinase inhibitors especially for glabridin analogues, were proposed.

Abstract
Fucoidan, a fucose-rich sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed in the class Phaeophyceae, has been widely studied for its possible health benefits. However, the potential of fucoidan as a possible treatment for hyperpigmentation is not fully understood. This study investigated the effects of fucoidan on melanogenesis and related signaling pathways using Mel-Ab cells. Fucoidan significantly decreased melanin content. While fucoidan treatment decreased tyrosinase activity, it did not do so directly. Western blot analysis indicated that fucoidan downregulated microphthalmia-associated transcription factor and reduced tyrosinase protein expression. Further investigation showed that fucoidan activated the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway, suggesting a possible mechanism for the inhibition of melanin synthesis. Treatment with PD98059, a specific ERK inhibitor, resulted in the recovery of melanin production. Taken together, these findings suggest that fucoidan inhibits melanogenesis via ERK phosphorylation.
