Description

Boc-Tyr-OH is a tyrosinase inhibitor that binds to the active site of the enzyme and prevents the oxidation of tyrosinase into dopa. It is an enantiopure, cyclic peptide with a chemical stability suitable for use in biological assays. Boc-Tyr-OH has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of melanin by binding to the active site of tyrosinase, which is found in skin cells called melanocytes. The amino function of this compound allows it to be synthesized from amines and hydroxyl group, which can be obtained from trifluoroacetic acid or chromatographic techniques.
