Abstract
Hyperpigmentation is a disorder caused by increased melanin deposition and changes in skin pigmentation. Inhibition of tyrosinase activity contributes to the control of food browning and skin pigmentation diseases. The effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on tyrosinase activity were examined using different spectroscopy methods including UV-VIS spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) differential scanning calorimetry, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Based on the kinetic results, arachidonic acid showed mixed-type of inhibition with Ki = 4.7 µM. Fluorescence and CD studies showed changes of secondary and tertiary structures of enzyme and a reduction of α-helix* amino acids after its incubation with different concentrations of AA, which is also confirmed by DSSP analysis. In addition, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies showed a decrease in thermodynamic stability of enzyme from Tm = 338.65k for sole enzyme after incubation with AA in comparison with complex enzyme with Tm= 334.26k, ΔH =7.52 kJ/mol, and ΔS = 0.15 kJ/mol k. Based on the theoretical methods, it was found that the interaction between enzyme and AA follows an electrostatic manner with ΔG = -8.314 kJ/mol and ΔH = -12.9 kJ/mol. The MD results showed the lowest flexibility in the complex amino acids and minimal fluctuations in AA interaction with tyrosinase in Residue 240 to 260 and 66 to 80. Thus, AA inhibitory and structural and thermodynamic instability of tyrosinase supported advantages of this fatty acid for prevention of medical hyperpigmentation. Therefore, it is a good candidate for cosmetic applications. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Inhibition of tyrosinase activity can control fruit browning and preserve the flavor and nutritional value of food. The impacts of fulvic acid (FA) and humic acid (HA) on tyrosinase activity were investigated utilizing circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular docking (MD), and molecular dynamics simulations. HA and FA demonstrated a mixed type of inhibition with Ki 2.02 and 5.2 μM, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters displayed that the hydrogen bond and hydrophobic force play a major role in the FA-tyrosinase and HA-tyrosinase interaction, respectively. Fluorescence experiments demonstrated changes in tyrosinase tertiary structures. HA could not destroy the tyrosinase secondary structure significantly, however, FA has a significant influence on the tyrosinase secondary structure. The molecular dynamics findings demonstrated the minimal fluctuations and the lowest flexibility in the complex amino acids in the HA-tyrosinase and FA-tyrosinase interaction. Altogether, HA and FA could be utilized in food industries as an accessible natural source for tyrosinase inhibition. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Recently, the investigation of tyrosinase inhibitors from the biosphere for hindrance of undesired browning in the food industry has increased considerably. Mushroom tyrosinase is a suitable model for kinetic research owing to its availability as well as close conformational similarity to tyrosinase in a mammal. Natural sources and their effective compounds could have wonderful potential on tyrosinase activity and structure, thus, in this study, the interactions between tyrosinase and fulvic acid (FA) and Humic acid (HA) were investigated. Previously, it has been shown that HA and FA have antioxidant properties and they can improve the quality of food via retarding lipid oxidation. Altogether, further investigations are warranted to draw firm conclusions, HA and FA could be utilized in food industries not only as antioxidant agents but also as an accessible natural source for tyrosinase inhibition.

Abstract
Melanin, a black-brown pigment found throughout all kingdoms of life, has diverse biological functions including UV protection, thermoregulation, oxidant scavenging, arthropod immunity, and microbial virulence. Given melanin's broad roles in the biosphere, particularly in insect immune defenses, it is important to understand how exposure to ubiquitous environmental contaminants affects melanization. Glyphosate-the most widely used herbicide globally-inhibits melanin production, which could have wide-ranging implications in the health of many organisms, including insects. Here, we demonstrate that glyphosate has deleterious effects on insect health in 2 evolutionary distant species, Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae), suggesting a broad effect in insects. Glyphosate reduced survival of G. mellonella caterpillars following infection with the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans and decreased the size of melanized nodules formed in hemolymph, which normally help eliminate infection. Glyphosate also increased the burden of the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum in A. gambiae mosquitoes, altered uninfected mosquito survival, and perturbed the microbial composition of adult mosquito midguts. Our results show that glyphosate's mechanism of melanin inhibition involves antioxidant synergy and disruption of the reaction oxidation-reduction balance. Overall, these findings suggest that glyphosate's environmental accumulation could render insects more susceptible to microbial pathogens due to melanin inhibition, immune impairment, and perturbations in microbiota composition, potentially contributing to declines in insect populations.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a multi-copper enzyme which is widely distributed in different organisms and plays an important role in the melanogenesis and enzymatic browning. Therefore, its inhibitors can be attractive in cosmetics and medicinal industries as depigmentation agents and also in food and agriculture industries as antibrowning compounds. For this purpose, many natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic inhibitors have been developed by different screening methods to date. This review has focused on the tyrosinase inhibitors discovered from all sources and biochemically characterised in the last four decades.
