Abstract

This study investigated the effects of coumarin, a flavonoid known for various physiological activities like antiviral, anticancer, and antibacterial properties, on anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory processes, aiming to explore its application in functional cosmetics. The results are as follows: Cell toxicity experiments using RAW 264.7 cells showed no significant cytotoxicity for coumarin at any concentration, indicating its safety for skin application. Observing coumarin's antioxidant activity through DPPH radical scavenging showed concentration-dependent effectiveness, though not significantly varied with concentration. The inhibition of silica-induced ROS production in cells was concentration-dependent. Both NO production inhibition and histamine release measurements showed concentration-dependent suppression. These findings suggest that Coumarin can be effectively used as a natural ingredient in cosmetic development for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

본 연구는 플라보노이드 계열의 물질로써 항바이러스, 항암, 항균작용 등 다양한 생리활성을 나타내는 물질로 알려져 있는 coumarin의 항산화 및 항염증에 미치는 영향을 관찰함으로써 피부에 적용할 수 있는 기능성 화장품의 원료로써의 활용방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. RAW 264.7 세포를 이용하여 세포독성 실험을 실시한 결과 coumarin은 실험에 적용한 모든 농도에서 이렇다 할 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 본 실험에 적용된 농도 범위 내에서는 피부에 적용하였을 때 안전한 물질이라 사료된다. coumarin 물질 자체의 항산화 작용을 알아보기 위하여 DPPH radical 소거능을 관찰한 결과 농도 의존적으로 소거능을 나타내었지만 농도에 따라 큰 차이는 나타내지 않았다. 세포내에서 생성되는 hydrogen peroxide을 DCF-DA 형광물질을 이용하여 ROS를 측정한 결과 silica에 의해 생성된 ROS의 억제효과가 농도 의존적으로 나타났다. coumarin의 항염증에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 Nitric oxide 생성억제와 histamine release를 측정한 결과 모두 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 Coumarin이 화장품 소재개발에 있어서 항산화와 항염증에 관련된 천연물로써 효과적으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
