4-Butoxybenzonitrile is a molecule that has been found to be an effective inhibitor of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of tyrosinase to DOPA. The active site of 4-Butoxybenzonitrile binds to the substrate binding site and inhibits the enzyme's catalytic activity. The binding site on 4-Butoxybenzonitrile is complementary to the active site on tyrosinase, which allows it to inhibit the enzyme's function by blocking access or mimicking its substrate. This molecule can be used as a potential treatment for hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma and vitiligo.
4-Butoxybenzonitrile has been shown to have a number of different properties that make it an attractive candidate for therapeutic use. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase, with an IC50 value of 0.36 μM in vitro (versus 1.4
