To investigate the effect of peanut sprout extract on skin care, we measured anti-oxidant activity and whitening action. As a result of measuring DPPH radical scavenging activity to examine independent anti-oxidation of peanut sprout extract, there was strongly scavenging activity. Fluorescent material DCF-DA was used to measure hydrogen peroxide created in RAW 264.7 cells, and all concentration dependently decreased ROS production. As a result of measuring nitric oxide to examine anti-inflammation of peanut sprout extract, there was strongly inhibited nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells. Tyrosinase activation was found to inhibited dose-dependant. Melanin production was also prevented dose-dependant. Therefore, it is expected to be used effectively in development of functional cosmetic materials.

Objectives : Recently the aesthetic, especially skin whitening, is focused on. This study was designed to investigate the effects of Gypsum Extract(GE) on skin whitening using B16F10 cell lines. Methods : In this study, we investigated effect of GE on cell viability, melanin synthesis, Superoxide dismutase(SOD)-like activity and tyrosinase activity in vitro and in vivo. Results : In results, The proliferation of B16F10 cell lines was increased by GE concentration. But there was no statistical signification. Melanin synthesis was decreased except GE 125㎍/㎖ of treated group. And the melanin synthesis ratio was increased in group being treated α-MSH. But After treating GE, it was decreased compared to Non-GE treated group. In addition, the SOD-like activity was enhanced in more than GE 125㎍/㎖ of treated group. And the activity of tyrosinase in vitro was inhibited in GE 500㎍/㎖ and 1,000㎍/㎖ of treated groups. The activity of tyrosinase in vivo was reduced in both Arbutin 500㎍/㎖ of treated group and Gypsum 500㎍/㎖ of treated group compared to controled group. After being treated α-MSH, the activity of tyrosinase was enhanced. But after treating Arbutin 500㎍/㎖ or Gypsum 500㎍/㎖, it was inhibited being compared to the group of Non-medicament treated. Conclusion : The results of this study showed the effects of GE that can inhibit melanin synthesis and the activity of tyrosinase and enhance the SOD-like activity. It means that gypsum has the skin whitening effect.

The aims of this study were to encapsulate arbutin (AR) in liposome to enhance the skin-whitening activity, and to investigate the effect of liposome formulation on the entrapment efficiency (EE%), skin permeation rate and skin deposition. The liposomes were prepared by a film dispersion method with several different formulations and were separated from the solution by using the gel-filtration method. The physical (size distribution, morphology) and chemical (drug entrapment efficiency, hairless mouse skin permeation and deposition) properties of liposomes were characterized. The entrapment efficiency in all liposome formulations varied between 4.35% and 17.63%, and was dependent on the lipid content. The particle sizes of liposomes were in the range of $179.9{\sim}212.8\;nm$ in all liposome formulations. Although the permeation rate of AR in the liposome formulations decreased compared with AR solution, the deposition amount of AR in the epidermis/dermis layers increased in AR liposomal formulation. These results suggest that liposomal formulation could enhance the skin deposition of hydrophilic skin-whitening agents, thereby enhancing their activities.

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.

Melanin biosynthesis is a human defense mechanism to protect skin from UV irradiation and also determines colors of hair and skin. However, as a interest on skin-whitening increases, researches to prevent pigmentation and hypersynthesis of melanin in skin are being actively in progress. Active components used as a whitening agent in cosmeceuticals are kojic acid, arbutin, vitamin C and hydroquinone. However, until now, because comparison researches among them in the aspect of both melanin formation and cellular toxicity have not been performed, we can't exactly estimate merits and defects of them as a whitening agent. To this end, we performed experiments to compare their effects on cell viability and melanin formation. As a first step, in vitro tyrosinase inhibition assay was done. While kojic acid and hydroquinone showed strong inhibition activities(their IC$\_$50/s are all < 100uM), arbutin and vitamin C showed weak activities. IC$\_$50/s of arbutin and vitamin C are 100uM and 400∼500uM, respectively. In B16BL6 melanoma cells, like in vitro tyrosinase inhibition assay, arbutin and kojic acid showed more strong inhibition effect on melanin synthesis than vitamin C. And unlike arbutin, vitamin C and kojic acid induced cell death at high concentration. Although arbutin showed no cytotoxicity, it has side effect to induce morphological change at high concentration.. In this paper, we suggest both kojic acid and arbutin have stronger ability to inhibit melanogenesis than vitamin C. And they also have side effect, that is, kojic acid induces cell death like vitamin C and arbutin changes cell morphology respectively.

본 연구에서 층꽃나무(Caryopteris incana Miq.)는 항산화, 피부미백 및 주름개선 활성을 측정하는 데에 사용되었다. 층꽃나무의 생리활성은 고형분 함량보다 첨가된 total phenolic compounds의 농도에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되어 이후 모든 실험은 층꽃나무로부터 추출한 물과 80 % ethanol 추출물의 total phenolic compounds 함량을 조절하여 실시하였다. 층꽃나무 추출물의 항산화 활성은 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), antioxidant protection factor (PF), Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs)를 측정하였다. $200{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 물과 ethanol 추출물로 DPPH free radical 소거능을 측정한 결과 각각 84, 92 %의 활성을 나타내었고, ABTS radical 소거능은 물과 ethanol 추출물 둘 다 약 99 %의 활성을 나타내었다. PF를 측정한 결과 물과 ethanol 추출물이 각각 1.56, 1.67 PF 값을 나타내었고, TBARs는 각각 62, 82 %의 활성을 나타내었다. 주름개선 및 피부미백 활성을 측정하였을 때, $200{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 80 % ethanol 추출물이 물 추출물보다 눈에 띄게 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 주름개선과 연관된 elastase와 collagenase 저해활성은 ethanol 추출물에서 각각 58, 89 %로 측정되었다. 피부미백과 연관된 tyrosinase의 저해활성은 ethanol 추출물에서 13 %로 측정되었고, 수렴효과는 50 %로 측정되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아, 층꽃나무 추출물은 항산화 활성, 주름개선 및 미백효과가 우수하므로 기능성 화장품 원료의 새로운 자원이 될 것으로 기대되었다.
