(R)-Trolox is a water soluble vitamin E analogue and a competitive tyrosinase inhibitor with a Ki value of 0.83 mM and a ID50 value of 1.88 mM. The (R)-Trolox has stronger tyrosinase affinity than the (S) enantiomer (Ki value of 0.61 mM).

2-Ketoglutaric acid calcium (Alpha-Ketoglutaric acid calcium) is an intermediate in the production of ATP or GTP in the Krebs cycle. 2-Ketoglutaric acid calcium also acts as the major carbon skeleton for nitrogen-assimilatory reactions. 2-Ketoglutaric acid calcium is a reversible inhibitor of tyrosinase (IC50=15 mM).

Methyl cinnamate (Methyl 3-phenylpropenoate), an active component of Zanthoxylum armatum, is a widely used natural flavor compound. Methyl cinnamate (Methyl 3-phenylpropenoate) possesses antimicrobial activity and is a tyrosinase inhibitor that can prevent food browning. Methyl cinnamate (Methyl 3-phenylpropenoate) has antiadipogenic activity through mechanisms mediated, in part, by the CaMKK2-AMPK signaling pathway.

β-Tocopherol is an analogue of vitamin E, exhibits antioxidant properties. β-Tocopherol can inhibit tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis. β-Tocopherol also can prevent the inhibition of cell growth and of PKC activity caused by d-alpha-tocopherol.

3',4'-Dihydroxyacetophenone (3,4-DHAP), isolated from Picea Schrenkiana Needles exhibits a strong suppressive action against tyrosinase activity, with an IC50 of 10 μM. 3',4'-Dihydroxyacetophenone (3,4-DHAP) is a vasoactive agent and antioxidant.

Oxyresveratrol 2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is a phenolic compound isolated from Morus nigra root and is an effective tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 29.75 μM.

Oxyresveratrol 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is a phenolic compound isolated from Morus nigra root and is an effective tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.64 μM.

D-Tyrosine is the D-isomer of tyrosine. D-Tyrosine negatively regulates melanin synthesis by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. D-Tyrosine inhibits biofilm formation and trigger the self-dispersal of biofilms without suppressing bacterial growth.

Kurarinol is a flavanone found in the root of Sophora flavescens. Kurarinol is a competitive tyrosinase, with IC50 of 0.1 μM for mushroom tyrosinase.

3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid, a stable vitamin C derivative, is a cosmetic tyrosinase tnhibitor with a whitening capacity. 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid also has antioxidant abilities.

5-Feruloylquinic acid (5-FQA) possesses antioxidative effects and tyrosinase inhibitory activities.

Polyphyllin C (compound 2) is a spirostanol saponin. Polyphyllin C exhibits mild (IC50=36.87 µM) activities against the tyrosinase and moderate (IC50=1.59 µg/mL) antileishmanial activities.

Isolindleyin, a butyrophenone, is a tyrosinase inhibitor, with a Kd of 54.8 μM for human tyrosinase. Isolindleyin exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-melanogenic activities.

Viscumneoside III, a dihydroflavone O-glycoside, is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.5 mM. Viscumneoside III has anti-angina pectoris.

4-Prenyloxyresveratrol, an oxyresveratrol derivative, shows potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 0.90 μM.

Paltimatrectinib (compound I-147) is a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor with an IC50 of <10 nM for tropomyosin kinases A (TrkA). Paltimatrectinib has the potential for cancer and inflammatory diseases.
