Several hydroxamic acid derivatives are synthesized to observe retinoidal effect and transactivation potential for $RAR{\alpha}/{\gamma]$ is screened. Among the synthesized compounds, N-(4-N-hydroxycarbamoyl )phenyl) [4-(tert-butyl )phenyl] carboxamide (2f) showed the best compatibility for potent $RAR{\alpha}/{\gamma].$ The acidic hydroxy of hydroxamic acid was easily deprotonated to form an enolate. A formed enolate has a similar role like that of all-trans-retinoic acid. This is the first example of the hydroxamic acid derivative with retinoidal activity. The retinoidal activity of 2f was further confirmed by enhancing activity for the expression of retinoid-responsive genes. To evaluate the possibility for anti.-aging agent, effect on the expression of MMP-1 was measured comparing with all-trans-retinoic acid and retinol. At 10 uM treatment, compound 2f inhibited the expression of MMP-1. These results suggest that new hydroxamic acid derivative 2f could be used as a promising anti-aging agent.

Horse fat is known to be an effective ingredient in Asia, and the horse fat itself, which is mixed with other ingredients at the additive level, is often sold as a finished product. In this case, physical properties of the horse fat raw material are important. Many horse fats produced in Korea (Jeju) have low temperature stability, so if not stored at low temperatures, segregation may occur. In the case of Japanese horse fat, it is partially hydrogenated or is used the solid phase as the horse fat by separating the liquid phase and the solid phase that is harder and more stable than the horse fat of Jeju. In this study, the physical properties were tested to improve the temperature stability even without the partial hydrogenation process of Jeju horse fat. Various oil gelling agents were used in the study. Results confirmed that the physical properties of the hydroxystearic acid added Jeju horse fat were improved. In addition, stability evaluations at temperatures of 25 ℃, 40 ℃, 45 ℃ and flow behavior evaluations at temperatures of 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 40 ℃ were performed for Jeju horse fat with hydroxystearic acid, 100% Jeju horse fat, and 100% Japanese horse fat. Results showed that the Jeju horse fat improved in flow behavior by adding hydroxystearic acid similar to that of Japanese horse fat. In addition, when the crystal state was observed under a microscope, the thermal stability was improved by decreasing the size of the needle-type crystals with the addition of hydroxystearic acid. Jeju horse fat containing hydroxystearic acid was found to have no physical problems even when stored at room temperature for a long time.

The main stability factors of the pressed powder include hardness and drop stability. In general, for pressed powder with talc, the hardness and drop stability are evenly met and the skin texture is excellent. Recently, more than ever customers are looking for a replacement due to asbestos issue of talc. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a pressed powder formulation without talc that maintains stability and does not lose its sense of use. In this study, experiments were conducted to find the optimal ingredients mixing ratio to make talc-free pressed powder. The characteristics of raw materials used mainly in powder were checked and the ratio was changed, and the lightness and hardness were measured and drop test was conducted. If the natural mica ratio was higher than the synthetic mica or non-coated silica was used instead of the coated silica, the hardness and drop stability were lower than the content containing talc, but the lightness was similar. Conversely, if the synthetic mica ratio was equal to or higher than the natural mica ratio and the coated silica ratio was equal to or higher than the non-coated silica ratio, the hardness and drop stability of the content containing talc were similar, but the lightness was low. It was found that the hardness was higher than the content containing talc, but the drop stability was lower. Therefore, further study of the correlation between hardness and fall stability is also thought to be necessary.

In this study, we sought to confirm the potential of the Chaetomorpha torta extract as a raw material for cosmetics. Accordingly, we sought to find the optimal extraction conditions for Chaetomorpha torta by ethanol concentration and to check whether it has an anti-inflammatory effect by confirming the inhibitory effect of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6). The main contents of the experiment results are as follows. First, when DPPH radical scavenging ability and polyphenol yield were used as the criteria for optimal extraction conditions of Chaetomorpha torta, 70% concentration ethanol extract was most suitable. Second, as a result of cytotoxicity evaluation using Raw 264.7, no cytotoxicity was observed at concentrations below 100 ㎍/mL. Third, as a result of measuring the inhibitory effect of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in LPS-induced Raw 264.7 cells, the production of all cytokines decreased in proportion to the concentration, and 100 ㎍/mL It was confirmed that the concentrations were 73.76±2.6%, 84.8±2.42%, and 91.91±0.47%, respectively, showing excellent anti-inflammatory properties. According to these research results, it appears that the extract of the Chaetomorpha torta can be valuable as a raw material for cosmetics with anti-inflammatory properties, and if research on antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities related to green algae is conducted more actively, marine resources can be used as useful basic data. It is believed that it will be.

For the development of the chitosan industry in Korea, the catch of red snow crabs caught on the east coast is rapidly decreasing. Therefore, it is urgent to develop raw materials that can replace the red snow crab as the top priority to solve the supply and demand problems, as well as wastewater treatment costs account for a large proportion of the cost of chitosan. In order to solve the problems, continuous research on biological extraction methods such as enzymatic extraction and microbial fermentation will increase production efficiency and lower unit cost as well as chemical extraction methods. Further efficient manufacturing method can be established. Establishing of novel techniques is indispensable for production of high-purity chitosan and the ability to regulate and separate the molecular weight, as well as joint research with industry, academia and research institute for the research and development of high-functional chitosan derivatives.

This study was performed to examine in vitro antioxidative activities such as DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power and tyrosinase inhibitory effect of various solvent fractions from Chionanthus retusa leaves. Ethyl acetate fraction showed potent antioxidative activity and tyrosinase inhibitory effect. The active compound was isolated from the butanol fraction by silica gel column chromatography and MPLC. The isolated compound was luteolin-4'-O-glucoside determined by $^1H$, $^{13}C$-NMR and 2D NMR. Compared with several antioxidant compounds, luteolin-4'-O-glucoside exhibited effective DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power in a concentration dependent manner. Bioassay with pure luteolin-4'-O-glucoside showed a dose-independent inhibitory effect on L-DOPA oxidation by mushroom tyrosinase and its $IC_{50}$ values were established as 23.2 ${\mu}g/mL$. Therefore, we may suggest that luteolin-4'-O-glucoside can be used as a food additive possessing the potent antioxidative activity and skin-whitening cosmetic material.

An attempt was made to develop a proteinchip for screening of MITF (microphthalmia transcription factor) inhibitor. Binding of MITF to E-box causes transcription of several pigmenting genes including tyrosinase gene. We investigated binding of MITF and its DNA binding site (E-box) using a protein-DNA chip with various detection methods including flurorescence (Cyt3). SPR (surface plasmon resonance) and SPRi (surface plasmon resonance imaging). A fusion protein (MITF-Maltose Binding Protein) was attached on the glass plate by chemical modification. An inhibitory synthetic DNA oligomer, artificially designed based on the E-box sequence, inhibited the binding of MITF and E-box. These results showed the potentials of flurorescence-based MITF protein chip as a microarray for high throughput screening (HTS) system of depigmenting agents.
