Abstract

Phytoestrogens derived from plants and foods, which are diphenolic compounds with structural similarities to natural and synthetic estrogens, have been shown to estrogenic and antiestrogenic actions. Particularly, recent study revealed that phenolic compounds in safflower seed, such as serotonin derivatives, lignans and flavonoids, could be acted as phytoestrogens. Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seed extract (SID C.SE), therefore, are receiving a renewed interest as potential therapeutic source against skin wrinkles induced by estrogen deficiency. This study was conducted to investigate the anti-wrinkle effect of SID C.SE on normal human fibroblasts through the expression of type I procollagen and UVA-induced MMP-1 in vitro. The SID C.SE increased the type I procollagen expression, comparable to trans-retinol and reduced UVA-induced MMP-1 expression in a dose-dependent manner. The clinical study indicated that cream group treated with $0.1\%$ SID C.SE significantly reduced a skin wrinkles, as compared with a control (non-treated cream group) (p<0.05). These results suggest that the safflower seed extract may be useful as potential source of anti-wrinkle cosmetics.

최근 홍화씨의 세로토닌유도체, 리그난 및 플라보노이드와 같은 화합물은 에스트로겐${\cdot}$항에스트로겐 활성을 갖는 식물 유래의 diphenol 화합물인 phytoestrogen 물질로 작용할 수 있음이 밝혀지면서 이를 함유하고 있는 홍화씨추출물[safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seed extract]의 피부주름 개선효과가 기대되고 있다. 본 연구진은 이전에 홍화씨추출물은 피부세포의 산화를 막아주는 항산화작용을 지니고 있으며, 아울러 피부의 matrix protein을 만들어내는 섬유아세포 증식을 촉진할 뿐만 아니라 피부의 구조를 이루고 있는 엘라스틴 단백질을 분해하는 elastase의 활성 저해효과를 보고한 바 있다. 이러한 연구 배경에서 본 연구에서는 홍화씨추출물의 피부주름 개선효과를 알아보기 위해 콜라겐 발현효과 및 MMP-1 발현 억제효과를 각각 측정하였다. 그 결과 홍화씨추출물의 콜라겐 발현효과는 레티놀보다 우수하였으며, 아울러 MMP-1 발현 저해효과는 올레산과 유사하게 농도 의존적으로 저해되었다. 또한 $0.1\%$ 홍화씨추출물 함유 크림은 대조군(홍화씨추출물 미함유 크림)에 비하여 피부주름 개선 효과가 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 홍화씨추출물은 주름개선용 기능성화장품 신소재로의 사용이 기대된다.
