In this study, a new sorbent based on the gold nanoparticle loaded in activated carbon (Au-NP-AC) was synthesized and modified by bis(4-methoxy salicylaldehyde)-1,2-phenylenediamine (BMSAPD). This sorbent, which is abbreviated as Au-NP-AC-BMSAPD, has been applied for the enrichment and preconcentration of

Chamaecin (2-hydroxy-4-isopropylbenzaldehyde) was synthesized and tested for its tyrosinase inhibitory activity. It partially inhibits the oxidation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase with an IC(50) of 2.3 microM. The inhibition kinetics analyzed by Dixon plots found that chamaecin is
