The tyrosinase is a bifunctional, copper-containing enzyme widely distributed in the phylogenetic tree. This en-zyme is involved in the production of melanin and some other pigments in humans, animals and plants, including skin
pigmentations in mammals, and browning process in plants and vegetables. Therefore, enzyme inhibitors has been under
the attention of the scientist community, due to its broad applications in food, cosmetic, agricultural and medicinal fields,
to avoid the undesirable effects of abnormal melanin overproduction. However, the research of novel chemical with anti-tyrosinase activity demands the use of more efficient tools to speed up the tyrosinase inhibitors...
