Anti-melanogenic effects of hydroxyethyl chrysin through the inhibition of tyrosinase activity: In vitro and in silico approaches by Yuna Lee, Ha-Yeon Song, Eui-Baek Byun

“…At 2.5 μM, HE-chrysin reduced 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine-stimulated melanin production significantly by suppressing intracellular TYR activity without cytotoxicity. Furthermore, molecular docking showed that HE-chrysin inhibited TYR activity by interacting with key residues (Glu256 and Asn260) and chelating Cu+ ions at the active site, with a binding free energy of −7.00 kcal/mol compared with arbutin (−5.12 kcal/mol). …”
