4-tert-Butylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione

CAS : 1129-21-1

4-tert-Butylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione is a flavonoid that inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase in the synthesis of melanin. It is used for the treatment of hyperpigmentation conditions, such as melasma and chloasma. The inhibitory effect of 4-tert-Butylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione has been shown to be competitive with respect to 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid and noncompetitive with respect to naphthol. 4BCD also inhibits the monophenolase activity of tyrosinase and its ability to oxidize phenols. This inhibition is due to its structural similarity with phenols and its ability to bind covalently with tyrosinase's active site.
