비파 열매 추출물의 총페놀 함량, 총플라보노드 함량, 산화방지능을 확인한 결과 전중 열매에서 가장 높은 총페놀 함량과 산화방지능(ABTS법)을 보였다. 진왕 열매는 전중 열매와 비교하여 총페놀 함량은 유의적으로 낮았지만, 가장 높은 총플라보노이드 함량과 산화방지능(DPPH법)을 보여주었다. 세 품종의 비파 열매추출물은 B16F1 흑색종 세포 내 산화스트레스를 감소시켰으며, 특히 전중과 진왕 열매 추출물은 멜라닌 합성에 관여하는 타이로시네이즈 활성을 효과적으로 감소시켰다. 하지만 전중 열매 추출물(125 ㎍/mL)을 제외한 모든 처리군에서 멜라닌 생성을 효과적으로 저해시키지는 못하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 전중품종의 열매 추출물은 천연 산화방지제 및 피부미백 소재로의 활용 가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Metastasis is one of the hallmarks of malignant neoplasms and is the leading cause of death in many cancer patients. A major challenge in cancer treatment is to find better ways to specifically target tumor metastasis. In this study, the anti-metastatic potential of the methanolic extract of Rhizophora apiculata (R.apiculata) was evaluated using the B16F-10 melanoma induced lung metastasis model in C57BL/6 mice. Metastasis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by injecting highly metastatic B16F-10 melanoma cells through the lateral tail vein. Simultaneous treatment with R.apiculata extract (10 mg/kg b.wt (intraperitoneal) significantly (p<0.01) inhibited pulmonary tumor nodule formation (41.1 %) and also increased the life span (survival rate) 107.3 % of metastatic tumor bearing animals. The administration of R.apiculata extract significantly (p<0.01) reduced biochemical parameters such as lung collagen hydroxyproline, hexosamine, uronic acid content, serum nitric oxide (NO), ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and sialic acid levels when compared to metastasis controls. These results correlated with lung histopathology analysis of R.apiculata extract treated mice showing reduction in lung metastasis and tumor masses. Taken together, our findings support that R.apiculata extract could be used as a potential anti-metastasis agent against lung cancer.

Effects of methanolic extract from Adenophorae Radix (AR) on melanogenesis were investigated in mouse melanoma B16F10 cells. The methanol extract of AR was partitioned into Hexane, Ethyl acetate (EA), Butanol, H₂O, and exogenously added to the culture medium for 72 hours at the concentration of 10, 50, 100 and 200 ㎍/㎖. Of the four partitions, Hexane and EA partion of AR reduced tyrosinase activity, which is the key enzyme for a melanogenesis, as well as melanin contents. But the EA partition was less toxic for B16F10 cells and has more efficient melanin-reducing effect than the former. In addition, the EA partition dramatically lightened the color of cell pellet and significantly decreased the level of tyrosinase protein expression. In these results, EA partition of AR reduced melanin synthesis of B16F10 mouse melanoma cells by down regulating the tyrosinase activity and tyrosinase protein expression. Therefore, it is anticipated that AR is a candidate for an efficient whitening agent which supresses melanogenesis.

Tyrosinase inhibitors are an important component of cosmetic products. Our previous studies have proposed that eckol isolated from the brown alga Ecklonia cava, can be explored as a tyrosinase inhibitor. However, cellular activities and mechanism of action of eckol remain unknown. Therefore, the current study analyzed the eckol binding modes using the crystal structure of Bacillus megaterium tyrosinase. The effects of eckol on melanin synthesis induced by ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone in B16F10 melanoma cells were also investigated. We predicted the 3D structure of tyrosinase and used a docking algorithm to simulate binding between tyrosinase and eckol. These molecular modeling studies were successful (calculated binding energy value, $-115.84kcal\;mol^{-1}$) and indicated that eckol interacts with Asn205, His208, and Arg209. Furthermore, eckol markedly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. We also found that eckol decreased the expression of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP) 1, and TRP2. These results indicate that eckol is a potent inhibitor of melanogenesis, and this finding may be useful for the development of novel pharmaceutical and cosmetic agents.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Sageretia thea is traditionally used as a medicinal herb to treat various diseases, including skin disorders, in China and Korea. This study evaluated the inhibitory effect of Sageretia thea fruit on melanogenesis and its underlying mechanisms in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. The active chemical compounds in anti-melanogenesis were determined in Sageretia thea. MATERIALS/METHODS: Solvent fractions from the crude extract were investigated for anti-melanogenic activities. These activities and the mechanism of anti-melanogenesis in B16F10 cells were examined by determining melanin content and tyrosinase activity, and by performing western blotting. RESULTS: The n-hexane fraction of Sageretia thea fruit (HFSF) exhibited significant anti-melanogenic activity among the various solvent fractions without reducing viability of B16F10 cells. The HFSF suppressed the expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP1). The reduction of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) expression by the HFSF was mediated by the Akt/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta ($GSK3{\beta}$) signaling pathway, which promotes the reduction of ${\beta}-catenin$. Treatment with the $GSK3{\beta}$ inhibitor 6-bromoindirubin-3'-oxime (BIO) restored HFSF-induced inhibition of MITF expression. The HFSF bioactive constituents responsible for anti-melanogenic activity were identified by bioassay-guided fractionation and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis as methyl linoleate and methyl linolenate. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that HFSF and its constituents, methyl linoleate and methyl linolenate, could be used as whitening agents in cosmetics and have potential for treating hyperpigmentation disorders in the clinic.

본 연구에서 오크라(Abelmoschus esculentus)에 대한 다양한 생리활성을 조사하여 기능성소재 응용가능성을 검토하였다. 오크라 추출물은 멜라노마 세포에 대하여 낮은 세포독성을 나타냈다. 세포독성이 거의 없는 농도에서 오크라 추출물 처리 시, 산화방지활성($ID_{50}$, $5.24{\mu}g/mL$), tyrosinase 활성저해($ID_{50}$, $102.12{\mu}g/mL$) 및 멜라닌 함량 저하($ID_{50}$, $17.85{\mu}g/mL$)를 보여주었다. 오크라 추출물 농도 의존적으로 tyrosinase 발현이 억제되었으며, 이는 오크라 추출물이 직접적인 tyrosinase 활성저해 및 세포 내 tyrosinase 발현을 억제시킴으로써 멜라닌 합성을 저해하는 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 오크라 추출물이 피부장벽 보호 지표물질로서 관련된 단백질인 involucrin 발현을 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 볼 때 오크라 추출물은 피부미백 소재 등 피부장벽 개선 효과를 지닌 기능성 화장품에 활용하기 위한 매우 효과적인 재료가 될 수 있다고 판단된다.
