Coenzyme $Q_{10}$과 6가지 coenzyme Qn 유토체들을 합성하였다. Coenzyme Qn유도체들을 murine melanoma(B16/F1)에 대한 멜라닌 생성 저해시험, collagenase 및 elastase 활성 저해시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 합성된 coenzyme Qn유도체들의 농도에 따른 멜라닌 생성억제, collagenase와 elastase의 활성 저해시험 모두에서 우수한 활성을 보여주었다. Coenzyme Qn화합물들 중 coenzyme $Q_1$과 coenzyme $Q_2$는 멜라닌 생성억제와 elastase 활성저해활성이 다른 coenzyme Qn유도체들보다 우수하게 나타났다. 하지만 collagenase 활성저해시험에서는 coenzyme Qn 화합물들이 80-85%의 collagenase 활성저해력을 나타내었다. 또한 coenzyme Qn들의 생리활성을 비교하면, collagenase 저해활성시험을 제외한 다른 효소활성에서는 isoprene unit의 n수가 적을수록 더 우수한 활성이 있음을 확인하였으며, collagenase의 경우 coenzyme Qn 화합물의 생리활성이 모두 유사함으로 isoprene unit의 n수보다 coenzyme Qn화합물의 benzoquinone에 의한 효과로 생각된다. 이와 같은 결과로, coenzyme $Q_1$과 coenzyme $Q_2$는 앞으로 새로운 기능성 화장품으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Korean herb medicine, has been widely used in China and Japan for fatigue and enhancement of resistance to many diseases. In this study, we investigated the synergistic effect of Korean red ginseng and Fagopyrum esculentum extracts (RGFE) on dermal bioactive properties. RGFE treatment significantly increased electron donating ability, nitrite scavenging activity and collagenase inhibitory activity compared to red ginseng-treated group. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in RGFE-treated group was similar to that of red ginseng. However, tyrosinase activity as indicator of melanin synthesis was not affected by RGFE or red ginseng. The results indicate that RGFE has anti-oxidative property and inhibitory effect of collagenase, and it may serve as a effective ingredient for beauty food.

Collagnase는 천연 collagen의 triple-stranded helix를 분해할 수 있는 protease로서 조직의 수복과 재생 과정에서 collagen의 재형성과 세포의 이동에 아주 중요한 역할을 하고, 숙주 감염시에는 collagen 기질을 빠르게 분해함으로써 감염을 돕는다. 본 연구에서는 일반가정에서 식용하는 김치로부터 collagenase를 생산하는 균주를 분리하여 Bacillus subtilis로 동정하였으며 이를 Bacillus subtilis JS-17이라 명명하였다. Bacillus subtilis JS-17이 생산하는 collagenase의 최적 생산 조건은 $1.5\%$ fructose, $1\%$ yeast extract, $0.5\%\;K_2HPO_4,\;0.4\%\;KH_2PO_4,\;0.01\%\;MgSO_4{\cdot}4H_2O,\;0.1\%\;citrate,\;0.1\%\;CaCl_2(pH\;7.0)$의 배지에서 $30^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm으로 72시간 동안 배양하는 것이다. 최적 조건에서 Bacillus subtilis JS-17이 생산하는 collagenase를 Amberlite IRA-900 column chromatography, Sephacryl S-300 HR column chromatography, DEAE-Sephadex A-30 column chromatography를 거쳐 분리 정제하고, 얻어진 정제 효소의 특성에 대하여 검토하였다. 정제된 collagenase의 비활성은 growth medium에서 192.1 units/mg였고, $1.1\%$의 수율로 얻어졌으며 분자량은 28 kDa이었다. 정제된 collagenase는 $55^{\circ}C$까지는 $100\%$의 활성을 유지하였고 $65^{\circ}C$에서도 $60\%$ 정도의 활성을 유지하였다. 또한 pH $6.0\~9.8$에서 $60\%$ 이상의 활성을 유지하였다. 정제된 collagenase는 metalloprotease inhibitor인 EDTA와 O-phenanthroline에 의해 효소 활성이 감소하였을 뿐만 아니라 Ammoninum persulfate, L-cysteine, N-ethylmaleimide, SDS, $NaN_3$, NaF, $KMnO_4$, PMSF에 대해서도 활성이 감소하였다. 정제된 collagenase를 여러 가지 기질에 대해 효소 활성을 비교한 결과 collagen (type I)에 대해 기질 특이성을 가지고 있었다.

There were many reports that elevations in the levels of active and latent collagenase in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) have been correlated positively with periodontal disease activity. To provide a simple diagnostic approach for testing GCF collagenolytic activity, the detection limit of enzyme activity was compared using radiofibril assay(Sodek et.al.1981) and spectrophotometric collagenolytic assay(Nethery et al. 1986). The detection limits of both assay for standard bacterial enzyme were similar and the radiofibril assay showed a little (1/2) lower detection limit for tad pole collagenase. To evaluate the relationship between periodontal tissue destruction and the collagenolytic activity, GCF was collected, and latent and active enzyme activities were measured by a spectrophotometric collagenolytic assay. Twelve subjects showing progressive lesions were selected according to the presence of immediate tissue destruction, frequent abscess formation, and increasing need for tooth extraction, and the absence of underlying systemic disease and previous antibiotic medication history within 6 months. Comparisons were made between sites with either: 1) inflammation with a previous history of progressive loss of periodontal tissue and bone support(2l progressive sites): 2) previous history of bone loss and periodontal destruction but now clinically stable(12 comparably stable sites); or 3) no loss of periodontal tissue and bone support(11 control sites including 5 gingivitis sites and 6 healthy sites). Active collagenase activity was the highest in the progressive sites and decreased in the order of the gingivitis sites, the stable sites, and the healthy sites. The total enzyme activity was $2{\sim}3$ fold higher in the progressive sites and the gingivitis sites, compared to the stable and the healthy sites. The ratio of active to total collagenolytic activity was twice in the progressive sites. Analysis of active collagenase level(5mU) and the ratio of active to total collagenolytic activity(0.8) as a diagnositic test indicates that these measurements have the sensitivity of 0.81 and 0.86, the specificity of 0.70 and 0.65, and the overall agreement of 0.75 and 0.73, respectively. Thus, this method has significant merits as a diagnostic tool to determine wherher the site is in a state of remission or progression.

Objectives : Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR), the roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg, is used to nourish the blood and yin and used for preventing premature greying of the hair. There are some articles on its preventing effects on the melanogenesis. However, there is no report about its effects on the collagen and elastin. The present study was designed to investigate its effects on collagen metabolism and elastase activity. Methods : The effects of PMR on type I procollagen production and collagenase activity in human normal fibroblasts Hs68 after UVB (312 nm) irradiation were measured by ELISA method. Cells were pretreated with the PMR for 24 hours prior to UVB irradiation. After UVB irradiation, cells were retreated with the sample and incubated for additional 24 hours. The amount of collagen type I was measured with a procollagen type I C-peptide assay kit. The activity of collagenase was measured with a MMP-1 human biotrak ELISA system. The elastase activities after treatment of PMR were measured as well. Results : In the present study, the collagen production was not increased. However, the increased collagenase activity after UVB damage was significantly recovered to $50.2{\pm}14.5%$, $8.2{\pm}3.1%$, and $10.0{\pm}3.3%$ (10, 30, and $100{\mu}g/ml$). The elastase activities (10, 100, and $1000{\mu}g/ml$) significantly reduced to $75.2{\pm}5.2%$, $40.3{\pm}1.2%$, and $27.0{\pm}1.9%$, respectively. Conclusion : PMR showed the inhibitory effects on collagenase and elastase activity. These results suggest that PMR may have potential as an anti-aging ingredient in cosmetic herbal treatment.

Objectives： Bletillae Rhizoma, the roots of Bletilla striata, is used to restrain the leakage of blood and stop bleeding. It can cure the sores, ulcers, and chapped skin. This study was designed to investigate the collagen metabolism, elastase and tyrosinase activity of Bletillae Rhizoma extract (BR). Methods : The effects of BR on type I procollagen production and collagenase activity in human normal fibroblasts Hs68 after UVB (312 nm) irradiation were measured by ELISA method. The elastase activity, tyrosinase activity, and L-DOPA oxidation after treatment of BR were measured as well. Results : In the present study, the collagen production (type I procollagen) was significantly increased to $15.7{\pm}1.8$ ng/ml at a concentration of BR 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ in UVB damaged Hs68 cells. The increased collagenase activity after UVB damage was significantly recovered to $42.7{\pm}0.7%$, $54.5{\pm}3.5%$, and $38.4{\pm}0.9%$ by BR 10, 30, and 100 ${\mu}g/ml$. The activities of BR 10 mg/ml on tyrosinase activity was significantly reduced to $45.1{\pm}8.4%$ as well. However, there were no significant effects on the elastase activity and the L-DOPA oxidation. Conclusion : BR showed the promoting effects of collagen synthesis and inhibitory effects of collagenase activity in Hs68, human normal fibroblast cells. And these could be thought to have the anti-wrinkle effects and whitening effects in vitro. These results suggest that BR may have potential as an anti-aging ingredient in cosmetic treatment.
