Tyrosinase inhibitory mechanism and anti-browning properties of novel kojic acid derivatives bearing aromatic aldehyde moiety

Kojic acid-aromatic aldehydes 6a-6m were synthesized and screened for their anti-tyrosinase activities. These compounds showed potently anti-tyrosinase activity with IC50 values in the range of 5.32 ± 0.23 to 77.89 ± 3.36 μM compared with kojic acid (IC50 = 48.05 ± 3.28 μM). Thereinto, compound 6j w...
