In this study, a series of novel bis-pyrimidine derivatives (1P-8P) were designed, synthesized, characterized, and investigated for their inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase, an enzyme critical in melanin biosynthesis and implicated in various hyperpigmentation disorders. To the best of our knowledge, the bispyrimidine scaffold has been evaluated for the first time for its tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Their inhibitory activities were assessed, revealing inhibition with IC values in the micromolar range.
