description For thousands of years, pearl and nacre powders have been important traditional Chinese medicines known for their skin whitening effects. To prepare the enzymatic hydrolysates of <i>Hyriopsis cumingii</i> nacre powder (NP-HCH), complex enzymatic hydrolysis by pineapple protease and of neutral protease was carried out after the powder was pre-treated with a high-temperature and high-pressure method. The peptides were identified using LC-MS/MS and picked out through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Subsequently, the tyrosinase inhibitory and antioxidant properties of novel tyrosinase inhibitory peptides were investigated in vitro. In addition, the enzymatic activity of tyrosinase in B16F10 cells as well as melanin content and antioxidant enzyme levels were also examined. The results showed that a tyosinase inhibitory peptide (Tyr-Pro-Asn-Pro-Tyr, YPNPY) with an efficient IC<sub>50</sub> value of 0.545 ± 0.028 mM was identified. The in vitro interaction results showed that YPNPY is a reversible competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase, suggesting that it binds to the free enzyme. The B16F10 cell whitening test revealed that YPNPY can reduce the melanin content of B16F10 cells by directly inhibiting the activity of intracellular tyrosinase. Additionally, it indirectly affects melanin production by acting as an antioxidant. These results suggest that YPNPY could be widely used as a tyrosinase inhibitor in whitening foods and drugs.
