Description

Methyl-L-tyrosinate is a drug that has been shown to increase the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the production of melanin. It also prevents the oxidation of tyrosine and phenylalanine, which are precursors to melanin. Methyl L-tyrosinate has been studied for its potential effects on hepatitis and Parkinson's disease. This drug binds to the hydroxyl group of tyrosinase and inhibits its activity. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to a decrease in melanin synthesis, which may be beneficial for those with vitiligo or other skin disorders where pigment loss is desired. This drug also prevents oxidative carbonylation and functional assays have shown that it has an affinity for potassium ion coordination chemistry.
