Synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel series of bis-salicylaldehydes as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors
摘要:
A series of novel bis-salicylaldehydes were synthesised and evaluated as tyrosinase inhibitors using a tyrosinase-dependent L-DOPA oxidation assay. The bis-salicylaldehydes exhibited greater inhibitory activity than salicylaldehyde. Our data suggests that these novel compounds may serve as a structural template for the design and development of novel tyrosinase inhibitors. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
