In this study, we synthesized 4 methimazole (2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole, MMI) derivatives. The kinetics of inhibition on mushroom tyrosinase by methimazole and its derivatives were investigated. The results indicated that tert-butyl 3-methyl-2-sulfanylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate (compound 3; 3), 2-mercaptoimidazole (MI; compound 1; 1) and MMI (compound 2; 2) significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner, exhibiting an IC50 value of 1.50mM, 4.11 mM, and 1.43 mM. However, compound 4 (4), compound 5 (5), and compound 6 (6) exerted no inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase activity. Kinetic analysis indicated that 3 was a noncompetitive tyrosinase inhibitor, whereas both 1 and 2 were exhibited as mixed-type tyrosinase inhibitors. Furthermore, 3 exerted a potent inhibitory effect on intracellular melanin formation in the B16/F10 murine melanoma cells and did not cause cytotoxicity, as 1 and 2 did.
在本研究中,我们合成了4种甲巯咪唑(2-巯基-1-甲基咪唑,MMI)衍生物。研究了甲巯咪唑及其衍生物对蘑菇酪氨酸酶的抑制动力学。结果表明,3-甲基-2-亚硫酰基-2,3-二氢-1H-咪唑-1-羧酸叔丁酯(化合物3;3)、2-巯基咪唑(MI;化合物1;1)和MMI(化合物2;2)以剂量依赖性方式显著抑制酪氨酸酶活性,IC50值分别为1.50 mM、4.11 mM和1.43 mM。然而,化合物4(4)、化合物5(5)和化合物6(6)对蘑菇酪氨酸酶活性没有抑制作用。动力学分析表明,3是一种非竞争性酪氨酸酶抑制剂,而1和2均表现为混合型酪氨酸酶抑制剂。此外,3对B16/F10小鼠黑色素瘤细胞内黑色素的形成具有显著抑制作用,且不像1和2那样具有细胞毒性。
