Background: A series of novelcinnamicacid piperazine amidederivatives has been designed and synthesized, and their biological activities were also evaluated as potential tyrosinase inhibitors. Methods: Compounds 9, 11 and 17 showed the most potent biological activity (IC50 = 66.5, 61.1 and 66 µM, respectively). In silico docking simulation was performed to position compound 11 into the Agaricus
