A small molecule inhibitor of Mitf-E-box DNA binding and its depigmenting effect in melan-a cells

Abstract

Background  Microphthalmia associated transcription factor (Mitf) is a key regulatory transcriptional factor of pigmentation-related genes including tyrosinase. Inhibition of tyrosinase transcription by blocking the binding of Mitf with its promoter E-box DNA can control the pigmentation. However, no such chemicals were reported so far.


Objective  To discover and evaluate the small molecule inhibitors of Mitf-E-box DNA.


Methods  Candidate chemicals were screened by virtual screening from pharmacophore data followed by Mitf E-box DNA protein chip. After selecting the chemical, its inhibitory activity on binding interaction between Mitf and E-box DNA, electrophoretic mobility shift ...
