Procedure

The concentration of enzyme, substrate and inhibitor was denoted as [E], [S] and [J], respectively. 80 microliters of 0.067 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8), 40 microliters of L-tyrosine in 0.067 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8), 40 microliters of inhibitor in 5% DMSO solution, and 40 microliters of mushroom tyrosinase solution were added to a 96-well microplate, to make the final concentration of each reagent to be: 0.2 mg/ml [S], and 96 units/ml [E], with varying [I]. 5% DMSO solution instead of an inhibitor solution was added to a blank solution and adjusted to the total volume of 200 microliters as control. The assay mixture was incubated at 37° C. The amount of dopachrome produced in the reaction mixture was measured at 475 nm in a microplate reader at different time periods. The percentage of inhibition of tyrosinase activity was calculated as follows: Inhibition(%)=[(A−B)−C−D)]/(A−B)×100
