본 연구의 목적은 애플망고 껍질의 열수 및 70% 에탄올 추출물의 미백 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 애플망고 껍질의 열수 및 에탄올 추출물의 미백 효과를 측정하기 위해 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 측정한 결과, 최종 농도인 1,000 ㎍/ml에서 열수 추출물은 9%, 에탄올 추출물은 35%의 저해 효과를 보였다. 세포를 통해 미백효과를 측정하고자 멜라노마세포인 B16-F10을 이용해 세포 생존율을 MTT assay를 사용하여 측정하였다. 세포 생존율 측정 결과, 100 ㎍/ml 농도에서 각각 95.64%, 103.36%의 세포 생존율을 나타내었다. 이후 실험은 세포 생존율이 95% 이상 나타난 농도인 100 ㎍/ml 이하의 농도에서 실험을 수행하였다. 미백 효과는 멜라닌 합성에 관여하는 인자의 단백질 및 mRNA 발현을 측정하여 결정하였다. 단백질 발현은 western blot을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 그 결과 MITF, tyrosinase, TRP-1 및 TRP-2에 대한 단백질 발현은 100 ㎍/ml 농도에서 열수 추출물에 의해 59%, 65%, 26%, 18% 감소하였고, 에탄올 추출물에 의해 64%, 40%, 18%, 52% 감소하였다. MITF, Tyrosinase, TRP-1 및 TRP-2의 mRNA 발현은 RT-PCR을 통해 확인하였으며, 그 결과 100 ㎍/ml에서 열수 추출물에 의해 27%, 44%, 40%, 22% 감소하였고, 에탄올 추출물에 의해 9%, 51%, 11%, 52% 감소하였다. 따라서 애플망고 껍질 추출물이 미백 효과가 있음을 확인하였고, 천연물 소재로서의 이용가치가 높을 것으로 사료되어진다.

It has been observed that local increase in melanin synthesis or uneven distribution can cause local hyperpigmintation or spot. Pigmentary disorders are caused by various factors, including inflammation, imbalance of hormones, and genetic disorder. Recently the harmfulness of Ultraviolet radiation is increasing due to destruction of ozone layer. Excessive exposure to UV radiation caused post-inflammatory pigmentation. Most women want to avoid uneven skin pigmentation. To satisfy this desire many cosmetic companies have been developing melanogenesis inhibitors and finding promising active agents for use in cosmetic preparations for skin whitening. In cosmetic preparations, many inhibitors such as kojic acid, arbutin, ascorbic acid, and licorice extracts6 have been used as whitening purpose. Plant extracts having an inhibitory effect on melanin formation may be a good choice for cosmetic purpose because of their relatively lower side effects. Therefore, we screened 285 plant extracts for their inhibitory activity in tyrosinase. Of the plant extracts, ramulus mori extracts showed potent tyrosinase inhibition activity. We also identified the active compound in the extract.

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.

To develop a whitening agent, cytotoxicity of the soluble collagen isolated from Todarodes pacificus (CIT) was evaluated. CIT tested for cytotoxicity on human dermal fibroblast (CCD-986sk) was exhibited very low cytotoxicity. Because tyrosinase is the key enzyme for melanin biosynthesis, the use of various tyrosinase inhibitors is a common practice for whitening purpose in cosmetics. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity and melanin production assay were measured to confirm the whitening effect. The inhibitory effect of MMP-1 in UV-irradiated human dermal fibroblast was also performed. CIT showed strong inhibition potency on tyrosinase by 51.5% at 0.2 mg/mL which increased the inhibition by increasing the concentration of CIT, and showed 69.1% inhibition at 1.0 mg/mL. CIT showed strong inhibition effect on melanin production with 82% at 1.0 mg/mL. The CIT also reduced about 76% expression of MMP-1 in UV-irradiated CCD-986sk cell at 1.0 mg/mL. From the preliminary observations, we suggest that the collagen isolated from CIT could be a potential source of natural skin-whitening and anti-aging agents for the photo-damaged skin.

Objective : Lycii Fructus Extracts(LFE) can do Anti-hypertension activity, Antidepressant, Anti-diabetic activity. This study was designed to investigate effects of LFE on skin whitening and elasticity using melanoma cells. Methods : In this experiment, effect of LFE on cell viability, inhibition of melanin synthesis and inhibitory effect on tyrosinase and elastase. Results : More than $250{\mu}g/ml$ of LFE treated group showed lowered proliferation rates significantly compared to non-treated group. More than $125{\mu}g/ml$ of LFE treated groups were lower levels of melanin synthesis respectively. LFE showed inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activities in vitro. And, LFE suppressed tyrosinase activities in B16F10 cells significantly. Finally, LFE suppressed elastase type I and IV activities in dose-dependent manner in vitro. And LFE also slightly suppressed elastase activities in vivo. Conclusion : These results suggest that LFE can inhibit melanin synthesis through ihhibitory action on tyrosinase activity and inhibt elastase activity, and also suggest that these results can be used for the study on maintaining skin elasticity or whitening.

백삼과 홍삼의 quercetin, cinnamic acid, p-coumaric acid, maltol, esculetin 함량을 측정한 결과 백삼에는 cinnamic acid가 가장 높은 함량을 보였고, 홍삼에는 증숙과정 중에 생성되는특이 성분인 maltol이 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 인삼시료 중 백삼의 ethyl acetate 분획물은 melan-a 세포주에서의 세포생존율 대비 멜라닌 생성억제활성측정, UV-흡수도 측정, tyrosinase 억제활성 측정에서 모두 우수한 활성을 나타내었으며, 이의 활성 성분으로는 cinnamic acid가 주요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되어진다. 한편, maltol을 다량 함유한 홍삼 ethyl acetate 분획물은 UV-흡수 활성을 보였으나 다른 유의적인 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 인삼소재 중 백삼 ethyl acetate 분획물은 피부미백소재로써의 기능을 가지는 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanol extract of Fagopyrum escuentum(FE) on the melanogenesis. To determine whether ethanol extract of FE suppress melanin synthesis in cellular level, B16F10 melanoma cells were cultured in the presence of different concentrations of FE ethanol extract. In the present study, the author examined the effects of FE ethanol extract on cell proliferation, melanin contents, tyrosinase activity. Cell proliferation was slightly increased by treatment with ethanol extract of FE (25-200 ${\mu}$g/ml). The ethanol extract of FE effectively suppressed melanin contents at a dose of 100 ${\mu}$g/ml. It was observed that the color of cell pellets was totally whitened compared with the control. The ethanol extract of FE inhibited tyrosinase activity, regulate melanin biosynthesis as the key enzyme in melanogenesis. These results suggest that the ethanol extract of FE exerts its depigmenting effects through the suppression of tyrosinase activity. And it may be a potent depigmetation agent in hyperpigmentation condition.

To identify inhibitory effect of Bamboo extract on melanogenesis, the effect was compared with arbutin, ascorbic acid, hydroquinone, and kojic acid on the melanin biosynthesis in B16 mouse melanoma cells and cultured human melanocytes. The cell viability of the agent was tested on cultured human melanocytes. We also examined its. free radical scavenging activity on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH). Bamboo extract showed considerable effect against melanin production and did not reduce cell viability at the concentration tested. It also showed potent free radical scavenging activity.
