본 연구는 오크라 추출물의 미백 효과를 검증하여 화장품 소재로서 활용가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 먼저, 오크라 열수 및 70% 에탄올 추출물의 미백효과를 tyrosinase의 효소 억제 활성으로 측정한 결과, 최종 농도인 1,000 ㎍/ml 농도에서 22.2%, 32.8%의 저해활성 효과를 보였다. 세포 차원에서 미백효과를 측정하기 위해 오크라 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 세포 생존율을 melanoma cell (B16F10)에서 MTT assay법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, 오크라 열수 및 70% 에탄올 추출물에서 100 ㎍/ml 농도에서 95% 이상의 생존율을 보였으며, 세포 독성이 나타나지 않은 농도 이하에서 멜라닌 생합성을 확인하기 위해 실험을 진행하였으며, 농도 의존적으로 멜라닌 합성을 저해하는 것을 확인하였다. 오크라 열수 및 70% 에탄올 추출물의 단백질 발현억제 효과를 5, 10, 50, 100 ㎍/ml의 농도에서 western blot으로 측정하였으며, 양성대조군으로 β-actin을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 오크라 열수 추출물은 100 ㎍/ml 농도에서 MITF, tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2 인자들은 각각 88.1%, 24.8%, 62.2%, 42.9%의 효과를 나타내었다. 오크라 70% 에탄올 추출물은 100 ㎍/ml 농도에서 MITF, tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2 인자들은 각각 65.3%, 58.3%, 66.2%, 65.3%의 효과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 오크라 열수 및 70% 에탄올 추출물의 미백 효과가 검증되었으며, 기능성 화장품 소재로서 활용가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 단삼 열수 추출물의 human epidermal melanocye (HEM) 세포에서의 미백활성을 측정하였다. 버섯유래의 tyrosinase 저해능 측정결과 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 42%의 저해율을 나타내었으며, HEM 세포내의 tyrosinase, 멜라닌 생합성 저해능은 $5{\mu}g/mL$에서 26, 25%의 저해능을 나타내었다. 단삼 추출물의 미백과 관련된 tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein 1 (TRP-1), tyrosinase related protein 2 (TRP-2), microphthalmia associated transcription factor (MITF)의 단백질 및 유전자 양이 감소함을 나타내었다. 또한 그 상위 단계인 cAMP 발현이 $5{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 41% 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 단삼 추출물이 cAMP를 효과적으로 억제함으로써, 이를 통해 tyrosinase 활성뿐만 아니라 TRP-1, TRP-2 그리고 MITF 발현을 효과적으로 저해 한다는 사실을 확인하여 기능성 미백 화장품 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

Novel tyrosinase inhibitors are important for pigmentation in the skin. Following extraction of tyrosinase inhibitors from edible vegetables or fruits, we found that the Prunus persica flesh extract (PPFE) exhibited potential inhibitory activity for melanogenesis. PPFE showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity in an enzymatic assay and PPFE also significantly inhibited the melanin formation in cultured mouse melan-a cells. Moreover, real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that the inhibition of melanin production by PPFE was closely related to marked suppression of mRNA expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 and -2 (TRP-1 and TRP-2) in melan-a cells. Further investigation found that the modulation of tyrosinase expression by PPFE was associated with the transcriptional regulation of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). PPFE inhibited the promoter activity of MITF and suppressed MITF mRNA expression in melan-a cells. These results indicate that PPFE down-regulates melanogenesis-associated gene expression through MITF-mediated transcriptional regulation and these events might be related to the hypopigmentary effects of PPFE.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate whitening effects and anti-wrinkle effects of a few 80% ethanol extracted herbal medicines. Methods : In the first study, a few 80% ethanol extracted herbal medicines were screened for their inhibitory activities against the tyrosinase. In the second study, a few 80% ethanol extracted herbal medicines were screened for their inhibitory activities against elastase. Results : 1. We showed 28%, 27% and 19% inhibitions of mushroom tyrosinase at 500 $\mu$g/ml concentration of ASR, AIF and ABR extracts and they were showed higher anti-tyrosinase activity than arbutin's. We also could observe that the decreased mushroom tyrosinase activities in RR, CML, LR, AGR and TH extracts. 2. RR, AF and ABR (final concentrstion 1 mg/ml) were appeared 60%, 98%, 83% of inhibitions of elastase activity, and they were showed higher anti-elastase activity than that of ursolic acid. We also could observe that the decreased elastase activities in AIF, AR, LR and CML extracts. Conclusions : These results suggest that ASR, AIF and ABR extracts contribute to the anti-melanin activities and represent potential sources of whitening agent, and RR, AF and ABR extracts contribute to the anti-elastase activities and represent potential sources of anti-wrinkle agent. These results suggest that some herbal medicines could be strong potential sources of inhibition about anti-aging and whitening effects for the skin.

Objective : This study investigated the inhibitory mechanism of the hypopigmentating effects on ethanol extract of Rosae rugosae Flos (ERR) that has not yet been examined. Methods : We analyzed the anti-melanogenic effects of ethanol extracts from Rosae rugosae Flos by tyrosinase activity, melanin contents. We also examined protein expression levels of tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2, MITF and ERK by western blot analysis in melanoma cells. Results : In this investigation, ERR effectively reduced ${\alpha}$-MSH-stimulated melanin synthesis by suppressing expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1). On the other hand, the expression of tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP-2) were not affected by treatment with ERR. ERR inhibited the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) as a key transcription factor for tyrosinase expression regulating melanogenesis. The upstream signaling pathway including cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and MAPKs were also inhibited by ERR. Pretreatment with PD98059, ERK inhibitor, attenuated the inhibitory effect of ERR on ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced tyrosinase activity. Conclusions : Our study suggested that the anti-melanogenic activity of ERR is correlated with the suppression of tyrosinase gene through CREB/MITF/ERK pathway.

In eastern Asian region, cosmetic preparations containing the molecues possessing the whitening activity are promising. In this study, 100 plant extracts were screened in order to elucidate the whitening effects using in vitro tyrosinase assay and DOPA autooxidation. Several plant extracts such as Morus alba, Glycyrrhiza glabra showed the inhibitory activity (>50%) against mushroom tyrosinase at the concentration 333$mu extrm{m}$/ml. And plant extracts including Morus alba and Bupleurum falcatum showed the inhibitory activity (>50%) at the concentration of 500($\mu\textrm{g}$/ml against DOPA autooxidation. The IC50 values of the several extracts were also found.

In order to explore the anti-oxidization effect of oriental medicine and cereal medium(OCM) where Tricholoma matsutake mycelia were cultured, measurement of hot water extract and UMPM(extraction method using ultra sonic waves, micro waves, micro bubble) extract, the total polyphenol content of crude polysaccharide from each extract, SOD-like activity, electron donating ability(EDA), xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity was conducted. The total polyphenol content of each extract was found to be 16.36% for hot water extract(HE) group and 15.73% for UMPM extract(UE) group and the amount of crude polysaccharide precipitated into ethanol of extracts was found to be 8.79% for UMPM ethanol extract(UEE) group and 6.48% for hot water ethanol extract(HEE) group. As a result of measurement of SOD-like activity by concentration of each extract, it was found to be 96.17% for UE group, 91.23% for HE group, 91.33% for UEE group, and 87.11% for HEE group at 20 mg/mL. In the case of EDA, it was found to be 47.55% for UE group, 44.93% for HE group, 25.38% for UEE group, and 18.36% for HEE group. And in the cases of the rates of xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity, as the concentration of each extract increased, the inhibition rate increased accordingly. As a result of comparison between hot water extract method and UMPM extract method using extracts obtained from oriental medicine compound medium where Tricholoma matsutake mycelia were cultured, all of the extracts were judged to have a high anti-oxidization effect. In particular, UMPM extracts were found to have higher polyphenol content, SOD-like activity, EDA, xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity compared to hot water extract method. In this regard, extracts obtained from OCM where Tricholoma matsutake mycelia were cultured are considered to have high availability as functional material when and if they are prepared using UMPM extract method.
