In this study, we designed and synthesized eight thiophene chalcone derivatives (<b>1a</b>⁻<b>h</b>) as tyrosinase inhibitors and evaluated their mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Of these eight compounds, (<i>E</i>)-3-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (<b>1c</b>) showed strong competitive inhibition activity against mushroom tyrosinase with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 0.013 μM for tyrosine hydroxylase and 0.93 μM for dopa oxidase. In addition, we used enzyme kinetics ...[more]
