Benzylacetone

Overview

Benzylacetone (4-Penylbutan-2-one) is an aromatic compound. Benzylacetone is a mushroom tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC 50 of 2.8 mM, a K i of 1.25 mM for monophenolase and an IC 50 of 0.6 mM, a K i of 0.39 mM for diphenolase. Benzylacetone inhibits free mushroom tyrosinase and enzyme-substrate complex. Benzylacetone acts as an appetite enhancer via olfactory stimulation, reduces spontaneous locomotor activity, induces weight gain. Benzylacetone exhibits repellent, fumigant, and contact toxicity against Tribolium castaneum adults.
