We synthesized (Z)-5-(2,4-dihydroxybenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (MHY498) as a potential tyrosinase inhibitor. MHY498 potently inhibited mushroom tyrosinase activity (mean IC50 = 3.55 μM) in a dose-dependent manner. MHY498 was more potent than the well-known tyrosinase inhibitor, kojic acid (mean IC50 = 22.79 μM). When tested in B16F10 melanoma cells treated with α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), MHY498 inhibited murine tyrosinase activity and decreased melanin production without inducing cytotoxicity. Docking models showed that the binding affinity of MHY498 to tyrosinase was higher than that of kojic acid, and docking simulation results indicated that the tyrosinase binding moieties of MHY498 and kojic acid were similar. Western blotting showed that tyrosinase inhibition by MHY498 partly resulted from the expressional modulations of tyrosinase and its transcription factor, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, via the cAMP–PKA–CREB pathway. These findings suggest that MHY498 could be useful as an antimelanogenic agent for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with skin pigmentation.
我们合成了(Z)-5-(2,4-二羟基亚苄基)噻唑烷-2,4-二酮(MHY498),作为一种潜在的酪氨酸酶抑制剂。MHY498 能以剂量依赖的方式有效抑制蘑菇酪氨酸酶的活性(平均 IC50 = 3.55 μM )。MHY498 比著名的酪氨酸酶抑制剂曲酸(平均 IC50 = 22.79 μM)更有效。在用α-黑色素细胞刺激素(α-MSH)处理的 B16F10 黑色素瘤细胞中进行测试时,MHY498 可抑制小鼠酪氨酸酶的活性并减少黑色素的生成,但不会引起细胞毒性。对接模型显示 MHY498 与酪氨酸酶的结合亲和力高于曲酸,对接模拟结果表明 MHY498 与曲酸的酪氨酸酶结合分子相似。Western印迹显示,MHY498对酪氨酸酶的抑制作用部分是通过cAMP-PKA-CREB途径调节酪氨酸酶及其转录因子--小眼症相关转录因子的表达。这些研究结果表明,MHY498 可作为一种抗黑色素生成剂,用于预防和治疗与皮肤色素沉着有关的疾病。
