Action of Rodgersia podophylla Root Extracts on Melanin Biosynthesis in Skin

  • 발행 : 2007.12.30

초록

멜라닌 생합성은 tyrosinase의 작용으로 인한 tyrosine의 산화로부터 시작되어 dopaquinone 및 dopachrome가 생성되고 dopachrome는 다시 dihydroxyindole과 dopachrome tautomerase에 의한 dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid 로 전환되는 과정을 거쳐 진행된다 (Alaluf et al.; 2001). 도깨비 부채 뿌리 추출물의 멜라닌 생합성 저해 기전을 검정하기 위하여 melan-a 세포에서의 tyrosinase 및 TRP-2 발현량을 western immunoblotting하여 측정한 결과 도깨비 부채 뿌리 추출물은 TRP-2 발현량에는 영향을 미치지 않으나 tyrosinase의 발현량을 현저히 감소시킴을 확인 할 수 있었고 따라서 이전의 연구와 종합하여 볼 때 도깨비 부채 뿌리 추출물은 멜라닌 생합성의 초기에 주요한 역할을 하는 tyrosinase의 활성 및 발현을 모두 억제함으로써 멜라닌 생성을 감소시키는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 도깨비 부채 뿌리 추출물은 brown guinea pig 피부에서 3% 농도로 도포 시 발적이나 이상 징후를 일으키지 않고 자외선으로 유도된 색소 침착을 감소 시켜 피부 미백 용도의 기능성 원료로써 큰 가능성을 가지고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

In the previous study, we reported the inhibitory effects of Rodgersia podophylla root extract on tyrosinase activity and melanin production in melan-a cells. However, mechanism of the inhibitory activity and in vivo assay were not yet examined. This study performed the examination of the effects of Rodgersia podophylla root extract on protein expression and in vivo depigmenting activity using melan-a cells and brown guinea pigs. As the results of western immunoblotting analysis, treatment of Rodgersia podophylla root extract reduced tyrosinase expression rates in 10 and 100 ppm concentrations, dose dependently. Moreover, Rodgersia podophylla root extract exhibited depigmenting activity on UV-B induced hyperpigmentation in brown guinea pig skin. These results suggested that Rodgersia podophylla root extract could act as whitening agent for the skin via not only direct tyrosinase activity inhibition but also reducing of tyrosinase expression.
