Abstract
This study investigated the whitening activity using seomaeyakssuk (Artemisia argyi H.) extract. Seomaeyakssuk was extracted from hot DW (AAD) and 70% ethanol (AAE). And confirmed safety through assessment of cytotoxicity. Also, whitening activities were measured through changes in the levels of extracellular melanin, melanin synthesis, cellular tyrosinase activity and transcription factor. The results confirmed that significant cytotoxicity does not appear in the concentration range of 50, 100, and 200 ㎍/㎖ of both extracts of this study. The production of extracellular melanin was slowed by AAD 45.0% and AAE 1.3% at 200 ㎍/㎖ concentration. Also, production of intracellular melanin was decreased AAD 37.2% and AAE 24.6%. In the case of intra cellular tyrosinase activity was reduced to AAD 49.2% and AAE 35.6% at 200 ㎍/㎖ concentration. The mRNA expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2 significantly decreased by AAD 63.0%/AAE 58.0%, AAD 60.0%/AAE 56.0% and AAD 59.0%/AAE 53.0%, respectively, following the 200 ㎍/㎖ sample treatment when compared to the control. Both extracts showed efficient changes of production of whitening-related factor and transcription factor. But AAD was found to have a higher inhibitory effect than AAE. In other words, seomaeyakssuk was showed significant biological activities showing whitening without cytotoxicity. These results will be provided as fundamental data for further development of the new material of functional cosmetics to the results above.
