QUICK LINKS
N-[3′,4′-Dihydroxy-(E)-cinnamoyl]-3-hydroxy-L-tyrosine is involved in the inhibition of enzymes involved in melanin synthesis. It functions by competitively inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme in the melanin biosynthetic pathway. N-[3′,4′-Dihydroxy-(E)-Cinnamoyl]-3-Hydroxy-L-Tyrosine interferes with the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA and subsequently to dopaquinone, which are steps in melanin production. By disrupting these enzymatic reactions, N-[3′,4′-Dihydroxy-(E)-cinnamoyl]-3-hydroxy-L-tyrosine can effectively reduce the production of melanin in experimental applications. Its mechanism of action involves binding to the active site of tyrosinase, preventing the enzyme from catalyzing the conversion of substrates. This interference ultimately leads to a decrease in melanin synthesis, which may be useful for studying the regulation of pigmentation in various experimental models.
