Mirificin is natural product of the flavonoid class. Mirificin (Puerarin apioside) is a natually occuring isoflavone isolated from Puerariae Lobatae Radix. It inhibits tyrosinase (TYR) with an IC50 of 12.66 μM.

Tyrosinase (TYR) (IC50 = 12.66 ± 2.77 μM) [1]

| ln Vitro |
The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of Mirificin was measured spectrophotometrically, yielding an IC50 value of 12.66 ± 2.77 μM, indicating its ability to inhibit tyrosinase. The ranking of inhibitory activity among tested compounds was puerarin > Mirificin > kojic acid > daidzin ≈ genistin. [1]
Molecular docking studies using Glide 5.5 showed that Mirificin had a docking score of -6.04 and a binding energy of -51.65, which were higher (better) than those of the standard tyrosinase inhibitor kojic acid (score -5.87, energy -47.31). The docking pose of Mirificin within the catalytic active pocket of mushroom tyrosinase (PDB ID: 2Y9X) revealed interactions including π-π interaction with His263, cation-π interaction with His244, Van der Waals interaction with Val283, and hydrogen bonds with Asn260, His85, and Lys79. The binding is characterized by a lipophilic sandwich between Val248 and Val283. [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
The tyrosinase inhibition assay was performed using a spectrophotometric method. The reaction mixture consisted of 50 μL of the ligand solution (the corresponding ligand standards were diluted 50-fold with phosphate-buffered saline, PBS) incubated with 50 μL of tyrosinase solution (0.1 U/mL) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then, 100 μL of L-tyrosine (0.4 mM) was added and incubated for another 30 minutes at 30°C. Absorbance was measured in triplicate at 480 nm. The inhibition ratio was calculated using the formula: Inhibition Ratio (%) = (Ab - Ae)/Ab × 100%, where Ab and Ae represented the absorption of blank groups and experiment groups, respectively. [1]
The ultrafiltration screening parameters were optimized, including tyrosinase concentration (0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 mg/mL), incubation time (10, 20, 30, 40 min), incubation temperature (10, 20, 30, 40°C), and centrifugation speed (5000×g, 6000×g, 7000×g, 8000×g). For the tyrosinase-site blocking ultrafiltration screening (control group), 50 μL of tyrosinase (0.1 mg/mL) was incubated with 50 μL of kojic acid (0.05 mg/mL) for 30 minutes at 30°C to block the tyrosinase active site, followed by addition of PLR extract and the same procedure. The binding degree (BD) was calculated as BD (%) = (Sk - Se)/Sk × 100%, where Sk and Se represent peak areas of a compound in the blank and experiment groups, respectively, in HPLC chromatograms.

| Additional Infomation |
Pueraria lobata extract is a flavonoid C-glycoside formed by the substitution of a 7,4'-dihydroxyflavone residue at the 8-position of the C-glycosidic bond with a 6-O-[(2R,3R,4R)-3,4-dihydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)oxacyclopentan-2-yl]-β-D-glucopyranose residue. It is a plant metabolite. It is both a dihydroxyflavone and a flavonoid C-glycoside. Pueraria lobata extract has been reported in kudzu root (Pueraria montana var. lobata), and relevant data are available.
Mirificin is a C-glycoside isoflavone. Structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that C-glycosides (such as puerarin and Mirificin) showed better tyrosinase inhibition compared to O-glycosides (daidzin and genistin). The addition of glycosyl moieties reduced tyrosinase inhibition due to steric hindrance and changes in polarity. Mirificin has additional glycosyl moieties compared to puerarin, and its IC50 (12.66 μM) was slightly higher (less potent) than that of puerarin (9.83 μM), suggesting that the presence of extra glycosyl groups decreases inhibitory activity.
