Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of caffeic acid and tri-o-methylellagic acid against tyrosinase receptor in the management of hyperpigmentation of skin diseases by molecular docking approach. The computational analysis is carried out by. Auto dock 4 tool. The standard used is kojic acid against the target Tyrosinase receptor with PDB code 5ZOD and the target proteins were retrieved from the protein data bank. caffeic acid and tri-o-methylellagic acid maximum of five interactions with the target amino acid residues when compared to the standard kojic acid which also has a maximum of 5 interaction sites. Hence it can be concluded that caffeic acid and tri-o-methylellagic acid possess promising tyrosinase enzyme blocking activity.
