Biochemical Properties of Tyrosinase from <i>Aspergillus terreus</i> and <i>Penicillium copticola</i>; Undecanoic Acid from <i>Aspergillus flavus, </i>an Endophyte of<i> Moringa oleifera,</i> Is a Novel Potent Tyrosinase Inhibitor

Tyrosinase is a copper-containing monooxygenase catalyzing the <i>O</i>-hydroxylation of tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine then to dopaquinone that is profoundly involved in melanin synthesis in eukaryotes. Overactivation of tyrosinase is correlated with hyperpigmentation that is me...
