Mushroom tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) is a copper containing oxidase that catalyzes both the hydroxylation of tyrosine into o-diphenols and the oxidation of o-diphenols into o-quinones, and then forms brown or black pigments. In the present study, the effects of some flavonoids on the oxidation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) have been studied. The results show that flavonoids can lead to reversible inhibition of the enzyme. A kinetic analysis showed that the flavonols are competitive inhibitors, whereas luteolin is an uncompetitive inhibitor. The rank order of inhibition was: quercetin > galangin > morin; fisetin > 3,7,4;-trihydroxyflavone; luteolin > apigenin > chrysin.
蘑菇酪氨酸酶(EC 1.14.18.1)是一种含铜氧化酶,它既能催化酪氨酸羟基化为邻二酚,又能催化邻二酚氧化为邻醌,进而形成棕色或黑色色素。在本研究中,已对一些黄酮类化合物对L-3,4-二羟基苯丙氨酸(L-DOPA)氧化的影响进行了研究。结果表明,黄酮类化合物可导致该酶的可逆抑制。动力学分析表明,黄酮醇是竞争性抑制剂,而木犀草素是非竞争性抑制剂。抑制作用的顺序为:槲皮素>高良姜素>桑色素;漆黄素>3,7,4'-三羟基黄酮;木犀草素>芹菜素>白杨素。
