Plants and their extracts can be utilized as inexpensive and rich resources of active constituents in the cosmetic field, as well as the food, pharmaceutical and medicinal fields. Until now, Aster glehni Fr. Schm. had no known active effect, except on anti-oxidation, that was found during investigations for application in the cosmetic field. In this study, we examined the inhibition of enzymatic reactions to protein levels in inclusive B16F10 melanoma cell lines. Significant inhibition of enzymatic reactions was observed in the EtOAc extract, which advanced to tyrosinase protein and TRP-1 in the B16F10 melanoma cell line. These results indicated that the effect of EtOAc extract inhibited expressions of tyrosinase protein and TRP-1 in the B16F10 melanoma cell line by 30.5% and 41.5% at 100ug/ml respectively. On the other hand, antimicrobial activity was evaluated to the four fractions in normal flora of the skin. Hexane extract was only exhibited in the higher clear zone in all strains. In conclusion, any cosmeceutical effects of Aster glehni Fr. Schm. may have a potential meaning, as well as possible value for further studies regarding the effects of chemical constituents of Aster glehni Fr. Schm.

The Plants and their extracts containing polyphenol have been shown to be associated with decreased the cause of aging and variety of disease such as reaction oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in several recent studies. We conducted to investigate whether the extracts and fractionation isolated from Aster glehni Fr. Schm. has an inhibitory effect association with oxidation or inflammation. The Aster glehni Fr. Schm. 70% aq. MeOH was fractioned according to polarity with n-hexane layer, EtOAc layer, n-BuOH layer and water layer. The electron donating ability of EtOAc, n-BuOH solvent fraction from Aster glehni Fr. Schm. was about 58.0%, 46.4% at $50\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The superoxide anion radical inhibitory effect of EtOAc extracts was about 64.65% at $50\;{\mu}g/mL$, and n-BuOH extracts was 35.66% at $50\;{\mu}g/mL$. EtOAc layer to the inhibition activity of hyaluronidase and lipoxygenase were inhibited about 24.37%, 29.5% at $5\;{\mu}g/mL$. In the anti-inflammation effect of EtOAc layer inhibited the generation of nitric oxide. also, these results showed that EtOAc extract inhibited 81.5% at $50\;{\mu}g/mL$ on the expressions of iNOS protein in Raw264.7 cell line.

The study was conducted to find out the ways of increasing fresh leaf yield under conditions of the optimum shading net treatment and planting densities of Aster glehni. Although the most effective shading net treatment to acclimatize the plant was 75% shading in 1993, as growing years were prolonged, effects of shading net treatment was not recognized. Ca contents in 75% shading net treatment was much higher than other shading net treatments. Shading effect tend to promote their growth and fresh leaf yield in 1993 even though 75% shading net treatment did not increase fresh leaf yield in 1994 and 1995. Planting density. $30\times20cm$. showed the effectiveness fresh leaf yield for 1994 and 1995 except for 1993.
