Abstract:

H3PW12O40 and H4SiW12O40(abbreviated as PW12 and SiW12) were taken as inhibitors and their inhibitory effects and mechanisms on mushroom tyrosinase were evaluated by Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) electrophoresis method and kinetic enzymatic method. The Native-PAGE electrophoresis results show that tyrosinase are encoded by a multigene family, their molecular weight are mainly 3×104—3.4×104, 4.2×104—4.6×104 and 6.4×104—6.8×104, which were all active.The inhibitory effects of Kiggin-type polyoxotungstates, H3PW12O40 and H4SiW12O40 on mushroom tyrosinase were evaluated, and then the inhibitory mechanisms were further studied combined with the kinetic enzymatic method. The results indicated that the enzyme was inactive when the concentration of PW12 and SiW12 was 13 and 25 mmol/L, respectively. More-over, the kinetic enzymatic method suggested that both PW12 and SiW12 exhibited potent inhibitory activities with IC50 value of 1.57 and 2.31 mmol/L, respectively. PW12 was found to be a mixed-type inhibitor with KI=0.34 mmol/L and KIS=0.43 mmol/L, while SiW12 was suggested to be competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase with KI of 0.59 mmol/L. Based on a comprehensive consideration of IC50 and inhibitory constants, PW12 was more effective against mushroom tyrosinase than SiW12.
