备注

曲酸是酪氨酸酶的有效抑制剂,然而不稳定性和毒副作用等问题限制了其在美白化妆品中的应用.该研究合成了一种新型的曲酸衍生物KAD3,通过酶学实验、小鼠黑色素瘤B16F10细胞模型实验和斑马鱼模型实验,分析了KAD3对酪氨酸酶的抑制作用以及对黑色素形成的抑制作用机制.结果表明:KAD3是蘑菇酪氨酸酶的混合型可逆抑制剂,能够显著抑制二酚酶活力(半数抑制浓度IC50=10.00 μmol/L); KAD3还能够有效抑制小鼠B16F10细胞内酪氨酸酶活性以及黑色素合成相关蛋白MITF、TYR、TYRP1和TYRP2的表达,随着KAD3浓度的升高,p-Akt表达显著上调,p-CREB 表达明显下调,最终抑制黑色素的形成; 此外,KAD3可以抑制斑马鱼胚胎中黑色素的形成,且效果优于同等浓度的曲酸.上述结果可为曲酸衍生物KAD3在化妆品和医药等领域的应用提供理论参考.

Kojic acid is a well-known anti-tyrosinase agent,however it has been banned to be used in cosmetics due to its instability and side effect.In this study,a novel kojic acid derivative KAD3 was synthesized and the inhibitory mechanism was evaluated with enzyme assay,mouse melanoma B16F10 cell assay and zebrafish assay.The results showed that KAD3 as a mix-type reversible inhibitor of mushroom tyrosinase,could effectively inhibit the diphenolase activity with IC50 of 10.00 μmol/L.KAD3 could effectively inhibit the tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis by downregulating melanin related proteins MITF,TYR,TYRP1 and TYRP2 in the B16F10 cells.p-Akt expression was upregulated while p-CREB expression was downgregulated significantly,with the increasing KAD3 concentration.Moreover,we found that KAD3 could inhibit the melanin formation in zebrafish embryo and the effect was stronger than kojic acid.Our study could supply the theoretical references for application of kojic acid derivatives in the fields of cosmetics and medicine.
