Aloesin is a compound that functions as a tyrosinase inhibitor, effectively reducing the production of melanin in cells. It acts by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the synthesis of melanin, which may be useful for studying melanin production and skin pigmentation in experimental applications. Aloesin′s mechanism of action involves binding to the active site of tyrosinase, preventing the enzyme from catalyzing the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. This interaction at the molecular level disrupts the normal process of melanin production.
