Comprehensive Synthesis of Photoreactive Phenylthiourea Derivatives for the Photoaffinity Labeling

摘要

Phenylthiourea (PTU) is well known as bioactive compound and one of the reversible inhibitors for tyrosinase. Tyrosinase plays very important roles for tyrosine metabolisms to maintain the skin homeostasis from sunlight with forming melanin. Synthesis of photoaffinity label reagents of PTU will be attractive thesis to elucidate functional analysis for tyrosinase.
