The purpose of this study was to research the whitening effect of the extract from Gamisoyo-san, which is one of the used herbal complex prescription. Methods : This study investigated inhibitory effect of Gamisoyo-san in tyrosinase activity. Cell viability were performed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Then, Gamisoyo-san measured reversed-transcription-PCR for mRNA expression using B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. Results : For whitening effects, the tyrosinase inhibition effect of extract was shown to 52.4% at $5,000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration. The cell viability on B16F10 melanoma cells of Gamisoyo-san extract showed higher than 75% at $1,000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration. In this study, an experiment was performed by setting the non-toxic concentration range of 50, 150, $250{\mu}g/m{\ell}$.

To estimate the inhibitory effect of some mushroom extract on melanin biosynthesis, we tested its inhibitory effects of five mushroom extracts on tyrosinase promoter in Bl6 mouse melanoma cells. In five mushroom extracts, Cordyceps militaris and Poria cocos exhibited low repression effect on tyrosinase promoter. However, Ganoderma lucidum, Paecilomyces japonicus, Phellinus linteus showed high repression effect, Especially, Paecilomyces japonicus and Phellinus linteus extracts had very higher repression effect approximately $81{\sim}83%\;at\;100{\mu}g/mL$. In the MTT assay, Paecilomyces japonicus and Phellinus linteus extracts exhibited high cytotoxicity. Therefore, repression effect of the extracts were closely connected with cytotoxicity.

Melanin is specifically produced in melanocytes. The pathway for melanin biosynthesis is mainly controlled by tyrosinase. To estimate the inhibitory effect of melanin biosynthesis from 31 medicinal plants extracts, we tested the inhibitory effects of the tyrosinase promoter on B16 mouse melanoma cells. The result of this study demonstrated that Mori Radicis Cortex and Castena Fractus extracts only in tested medicinal plant extracts have high inhibitory effects on tyrosinase promoters with very low cytotoxicity on B16 mouse melanoma cells. Therefore, extracts of Mori Radicis Cortex and Castena Fractus were evaluated as very effective negative regulators of tyrosinase gene expression.

We investigated antioxidative activity, tyrosinase inhibitory activity, and melanin production inhibitory activity of the methanol extract of Paeoniae Radix and its fractions. The total polyphenol content of the extract was 73.45 mg/g, and content of the ethyl acetate fraction was 514.50 mg/g as the highest content of fractions. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate was 3.86 ${\mu}g/ml$ as a result of greater activity in the positive control (ascorbic acid). Moreover, tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the ethyl acetate fraction showed higher activity than arbutin used as a positive control. In the cytotoxicity measurement by MTT assay, the extract and fractions were exhibited cell viabilities of 76.96~157.26% against Raw 264.7 and B16F10 cell in concentration of 10~100 ${\mu}g/ml$. In nontoxic concentration range, the ethyl acetate fraction showed strong melanin production inhibitory effect in ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH)-stimulated B16F10 cell. As a result, the ethyl acetate fraction of the methanol extract from Paeoniae Radix could be applicable to functional materials for skin-whitening agents.

Tyrosinase plays an important role in the process of melanin biosynthesis, and it is a biochemical target enzyme for skin-whitening agents and the remedy for disturbances in pigmentation. We have screened 25 natural plant extracts for inhibitory effects against DOPA oxidase activity of tyrosinase. For the inhibitory effect against DOPA oxidase activity of tyrosinase, the recombinant human tyrosinase and the purified mushroom tyrosinase were used. Each of the dried plants extracted with methanol, and then the extracts were subjected to sequential fractionations with methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water, respective The methylene chloride fractions of Angelica tenuissima, Nardostachys chinensis, Bombyx mop and Saposhnikovia divaricata, and the n-butanol fraction of Bombyx mori notably inhibited the human tyrosinase activity as well as mushroom tyrosinase activity (more than 90% inhibition). This study suggests that the above extracts have a potential as whitening agents as single ingredients or in combination with other of the extracts.

Purpose: This study was performed to determine the inhibitory effect of Persimmon Leaves extract (PL) on melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells B16F10. Methods: The inhibitory effects of PL on melanin synthesis were determined by in vitro assay. To elucidate inhibitory effects of PL on melanin synthesis, we determined the melanin release and melanin production in B16F10. And to investigate the action mechanism, we assessed the gene expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, PKA, PKC${\beta}$, ERK-1, ERK-2, AKT-1, MITF in B16F10. Results: 1. PL inhibited melanin release, melanin production in B16F10. 2. PL inhibited tyrosinase activity in vitro and in B16F10. 3. PL suppressed the expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2 in B16F10. 4. PL suppressed the expression of PKA, PKC${\beta}$ in B16F10. 5. PL increased the expression of ERK-1, ERK-2, AKT-1 in B16F10. 6. PL suppressed the expression of MITF in B16F10. Conclusion: From these results, it may be concluded that PL is possesed of the antimelanogenetic effects.

황백 추출물의 tyrosinase 억제효과를 검토한 결과 60% 에탄올추출물에서 25% 정도의 억제효과를 나타내었으며, melanoma세포(B16F10)에서의 멜라닌 생합성을 측정한 결과 31.2%의 저해활성을 나타내어 멜라닌생성억제효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 황백추출물에서 tyrosinase저해 활성물질을 정제하고자 Sephadex LH-20과 MCI-gel CHP-20 open column을 이용하여 용출한 결과 순수하게 정제된 활성물질을 얻을 수 있었으며, 정제물질을 구조 동정한 결과 미백물질은 obacunone으로 동정되었다. 정제된 obacunone은 35.1%의 저해활성을 나타내어 미백 활성이 비교적 우수함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 황백추출물로부터 분리한 미백물질을 이용한 미백 화장품을 제조하여 관능평가를 한 결과 우수한 평가를 받았다. 미백화장품의 안정성 검사를 위해 pH, 점도 및 복소탄성률의 변화를 측정하였으나 저장기간 60일 동안 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 또한 온도변화, 인공 및 자연광에 의한 변화, 온도순환에 의한 변화 및 냉 해동순환(Freeze & Thaw cycling)에 따른 변화들 살펴본 결과 저장 60일 동안 모든 조건에서 상의 분리와 변색, 변취 등의 변화 없이 안정성을 나타내었다.

The crude extracts of marine algae were screened for tyrosinase-inhibitory and radical scavenging effects. Among the samples tested, Symphyocladia latiuscula and Gloiopeltis furcata were found to be the most effective in DPPH radical scavenging test while Gigatina tenella, Sargassum thunbergii, and Sargassum sp. were moderately active. For the inhibition against mushroom tyrosinase, Symphyocladia latiuscula and Sargassum confusum showed the strongest inhibition. Codium adhaerens, Corallina pilulifera, Carpopeltis cornea, Halymenia acuminata, Hizikia fuziformis, Porphyra suborbiculata, and Enteromorpha linza exhibited mild inhibitory potency.
