Abstract

In this study, the antioxidative effects, inhibitory effects on tyrosinase of Cedrela sinensis extracts were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of extract ($3.54\;{\mu}g/mL$) and aglycone fraction of extract ($2.15\;{\mu}g/mL$) showed more excellent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity ($FSC_{50}$) than the activity of (+)-$\alpha$-tocopherol ($8.98\;{\mu}g/mL$). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities ($OSC_{50}$) of Cedrela sinensis extracts on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$ system were investigated using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The ethyl acetate fraction of extract ($0.15\;{\mu}g/mL$) and aglycone fraction of extract ($0.12\;{\mu}g/mL$) showed 10 times more excellent ROS scavenging activity than activity of L-ascorbic acid ($1.50\;{\mu}g/mL$). The protective effects of fractions of Cedrela sinensis on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of extract and aglycone fraction of extracts suppressed photohemolysis in a concentration dependent manner ($5{\sim}25\;{\mu}g/mL$). The inhibitory effect of Cedrela sinensis extracts on tyrosinase was investigated to assess their whitening efficacy. Inhibitory effects ($IC_{50}$) on tyrosinase were determined with ethyl acetate fraction of Cedrela sinensis extract ($48.00\;{\mu}g/mL$) and aglycone fraction of extract ($5.88\;{\mu}g/mL$). The aglycone fraction showed 40 times more remarkable tyrosinase inhibitory effect than whitening agent, arbutin ($226.88\;{\mu}g/mL$) These results indicate that fractions of Cedrela sinensis can be used as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging $^1O_2$ and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. The fractions of Cedrela sinensis can be applicable to new functional cosmetics for antioxidant and whitening.

본 연구에서는 참죽나무 새순 추출물의 항산화 효능과 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 측정함으로써 기능성 화장품에서의 이용 가능성을 평가하였다. 참죽나무 새순 추출물의 free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 저해활성($FSC_{50}$)은 ethyl acetate 분획($3.54\;{\mu}g/mL$)과 aglycone 분획($2.15\;{\mu}g/mL$) 모두 지용성 항산화제인 (+)-$\alpha$-tocopherol ($8.98\;{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 luminol 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 참죽나무 추출물의 총항산화능은 추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획($0.15\;{\mu}g/mL$)과 aglycone 분획($0.12\;{\mu}g/mL$)에서 모두 L-ascorbic acid ($1.50\;{\mu}g/mL$) 보다 약 10배 더 큰 것으로 나타내었다. Rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 참죽나무 새순 추출물의 억제 효과를 측정하였을때 ethyl acetate 분획과 aglycone 분획 모두 농도 의존적($5{\sim}25\;{\mu}g/mL$)으로 세포보호 효과를 나타내었다. Tyrosinase의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)는 참죽나무 새순 추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획과 aglycon 분획에서 각각 $48.00\;{\mu}g/mL$, $5.88\;{\mu}g/mL$으로 나타났으며 aglycone 분획의 경우 강력한 미백제인 arbutin ($226.88\;{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 약 40배정도 더 우수한 활성을 갖는다. 이상의 결과들은 참죽나무 새순 추출물이 활성산소종을 소거하고 활성산소종에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 의해 손상된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리키며, tyrosinase 저해활성으로부터 미백 기능성 화장품원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.
