Abstract
We investigated the application of functional materials by examining a variety of physiological activities of Geranium krameri extract obtained from the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science. Geranium krameri extract had a low cytotoxicity against murine melanoma B16F10 cells. At concentrations with little or no cytotoxicity, Geranium krameri extract showed high DPPH radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$, $8.72{\mu}g/mL$) and anti-microbial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Additionally, Geranium krameri extract inhibited tyrosinase activity ($IC_{50}$, $456.86{\mu}g/mL$) and decreased melanin content ($IC_{50}$, $50.35{\mu}g/mL$). The treatment of B16F10 cells with Geranium krameri extract suppressed the protein expression of tyrosinase in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that Geranium krameri extract inhibits melanin synthesis in murine melanoma B16F10 cells by suppressing intracellular tyrosinase expression, as well as directly inhibits tyrosinase activity simultaneously.
