Abstract

Darkening of the skin results from excessive production of melanin in the skin caused by an increase in tyrosinase related protein 1 enzyme activity. Catechins are flavonoid compounds which contain antioxidants. This study aims to determine the affinity and mechanism of catechins as skin lightening agents by inhibiting tyrosinase related protein 1 target proteins in silico using molecular docking methods. The study was carried out exploratively with the stages of preparing a database of 3D structures of catechins and tyrosinase related protein 1, optimization of 3D structure of catechins, protein preparation, validation of molecular docking methods, and docking of catechins in tyrosinase related protein 1. Docking results are assessed from the bonding energy and hydrogen bonds formed between catechins and proteins. The smaller the bond energy value, the stronger the bond between the catechins and proteins. The results showed that catechins had activity as skin lightening agents because they were able to inhibit the tyrosinase related protein 1 with a bond energy value of -6,35 Kcal/mol. The energy value of the catechin bond with the tyrosinase related protein 1 is smaller than the tyrosinase related protein 1 with its native ligand. This shows that catechins have greater potential and affinity in inhibiting the tyrosinase related protein 1 enzyme with hydrogen bonds on amino acid residues, namely ARG374. Based on the results obtained, catechins have activity as skin lightening agents with the mechanism of inhibiting the tyrosinase related protein 1 enzyme so that the amount of eumelanin formed is less and the skin becomes brighter. Key words: catechins, skin lightening, tyrosinase related protein 1, in silico, molecular docking

Abstract

Avocado is one of the fruits favored by many people because of the avocado's taste and content. Avocados contain antioxidants and nutrients such as fat which is 9.8 g / 100 g of fruit flesh. But until now, the use of avocados is still focused on the fruit while other parts such as seeds are underutilized. Catechins are flavonoid compounds contained in avocado seeds. Extraction of catechins in avocado seeds was carried out by maceration method, namely immersion using three variations of solvents namely ethyl acetate, 95% ethanol, and acetone for 24 hours. The results of maceration were filtered and then remaserated for 24 hours to obtain more filtrate, then concentrated with an evaporator rotary vaccum to obtain thick extracts of avocado seeds which were then tested using the TLC-Densitometry method. The results obtained were the highest levels of catechins obtained in maceration using ethyl acetate solvents, with levels of 25.55% b / b. Keywords: avocado seeds, catechins, maceration
