Novel tyrosinase-inhibitory peptides derived from Locusta migratoria protein hydrolysates: Preparation, identification and molecular docking analysis

mycolabadmin

Scientists have discovered that peptides from locusts can effectively inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for skin pigmentation. These peptide extracts showed strong ability to prevent melanin production, comparable to existing skin-whitening agents but with much lower toxicity to normal cells. The research identified over 1100 different peptide sequences that could be useful in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products for treating age spots, freckles, and other pigmentation issues.

Identification of two novel thiazolidin-2-imines as tyrosinase inhibitors: synthesis, crystal structure, molecular docking and DFT studies

Scientists created two new chemical compounds that are much better at slowing down the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for skin darkening and browning of foods. These compounds were tested both in the lab and using computer models, and they worked about 14 times better than kojic acid, a commonly used anti-darkening ingredient. The research suggests these new compounds could be useful in cosmetics, food preservation, and treating skin conditions like unwanted pigmentation.
