The study of oligopepetide synthesis and biological activity

올리고 펩타이드 유도체의 합성과 생리활성에 관한 연구

Abstract

In this study, we synthesized Oligo Peptide (Lys-Val-Ala-Arg-Pro: KVARP) and peptide derivatives using Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis(SPPS). KVARP was commonly known to improve whitening of skin. We measured bio-activity of the synthesized compounds. The whitening effect was measured in tyrosinase inhibition and the result showed to be highly effective with 93% inhibition rate at $5000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of Geranic-KVARP, on the other hand the IC50 value was $68{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The wrinkle-reducing effect was measured by elastase inhibition at a concentration of 63% at $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of Salicylic-KVARP, and the IC50 value was $253{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. In the DPPH assay, Caffeic-KVARP showed more than 95% antioxidant activity at $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ with high concentration and IC50 value was $31{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The anti-inflammatory effect of Nitric Oxide inhibition was 67% at $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of Lipoic-KVARP. Therefore, the four types of KVARP derivative that were synthesized from various experiments has shown that it could have potential to be used to develop new medicines, cosmetics as well as in various industries.

본 연구에서는 미백 개선 효과가 알려진 올리고 펩타이드(Lys-Val-Ala-Arg-Pro : KVARP)를 기본 구조로 하여 고체상합성법(SPPS)으로 합성하였다. 합성된 올리고 펩타이드에 게란산(geranic acid), 리포익산(lippoic acid), 살리실산(salicylic acid)를 접합하여 올리고 펩타이드 유도체를 합성하였다. 미백개선 효과는 tyrosinase(티로시아나제) 저해실험으로 측정하였으며, Geranic-KVARP의 $5000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 93%의 저해율로 가장 좋은 효과를 나타내었고, IC50 값은 $68{\mu}g/m{\ell}$로 측정되었다. 주름개선 효과는 elastase(엘라스타아제) 저해 실험으로 측정한 결과 Salicylic-KVARP의 $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 63%의 저해율을 보였으며, IC50값은 $253{\mu}g/m{\ell}$으로 확인되었다. DPPH법으로 실시한 항산화효과 측정실험에서는 Caffeic-KVARP가 최고 농도인 $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 95% 이상의 항산화효과를 보였으며 IC50값은 $31{\mu}g/m{\ell}$로 나타났다. Nitric Oxide 저해실험을 통한 항염효과를 측정한 결과 Lipoic-KVARP의 $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 67%의 저해율을 보였다. 다양한 실험결과로부터 합성된 KVARP유도체 4종은 새로운 의약품 및 화장품 소재로서의 이용할 가능성이 있으며, 산업적인 면에서 응용이 가능하다고 판단된다.
