Objective: This experimental study was performed to investigate the anti-inflammation and anti-oxidant effects of Sopungdojeok-tang(SPDJT) and Samulsopung-san(SMSPS) which were used to treat patient with atopic dermatitis Methods: Anti-inflammation and anti-oxidant effects of SPDJT and SMSPS were measured by the inhibitory ability of Nitric oxide(NO) production and the scavenging for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical. Results: 1. SPDJT and SMSPS were not showed cell toxicity. 2. In inhibitory effects against NO production, all groups of SPDJT were showed anti-inflammation, but all groups of SMSPS were not showed anti-inflammation. There were statistical significances between $20{\mu}g/m\ell$ and 4, $10{\mu}g/m\ell$ in SPDJT groups. 3. In DPPH radical scavenging activity, all groups of SPDJT and all groups of SMSPS were showed anti-oxidant effects. There were statistical significances between $20{\mu}g/m\ell$ SPDJT group and 4, $10{\mu}g/m\ell$ SMSPS groups. Conclusion: These results suggest that the SPDJT groups are better than the SMSPS groups in antiinflammation and anti-oxidant effects.

본 연구에서는 대나무, 계피, 생강 등 8종의 한약재를 포함한 한방목초액의 소재특성을 시험하여 화장품 및 피부질 환용 의약품에의 응용가능성을 조사하였다. 목초액의 항산화력은 DPPH 자유라디칼 소거법으로 측정되었으며 $50{\mu}g/ml$의 농축목초액 농도에서 97%의 매우 높은 항산화능을 보여주었다. 목초액의 항균력은 원판확산법으로 시험되었으며, 피부상재균인 Staphylococcus aureus에 대해 우수한 항균력을 보여주었다. 목초액의 미백효과는 tyrosinase 활성억제시험법으로 측정되었으며 대조군인 비타민 C에 비해 매우 낮아서 미백효과는 미미하였다. 목초액의 안전성 시험은 MTT assay에 의해 측정되었으며, 세포 독성이 비교적 높은 것으로 나타났다. 목초액의 화장품소재 안정성 시험 결과 색, 향, 외관 및 pH에서 큰 변화가 없어서 매우 안정하였다. 무모생쥐를 이용한 항 아토피 시험결과, 목초액은 DNCB에 의해 유도된 피부염증을 9일 째 거의 정상상태로 회복시켰으며, 피부내 IgE의 농도도 대조군에 비해 30% 감소시켜 항 아토피 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 목초액은 항산화력, 항균력 및 항 아토피 효과가 우수하여 화장품소재나 피부질환치료제로서의 응용 가능성이 큼을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives : The present study purposed to compare the antioxidant effect, anti inflammatory effect and cancer cell multiplication inhibition effect of Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui aqueous extract according to extraction temperature. Methods : We medicated animal models, which had experimental oxidation, with Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui total extract and $50^{\circ}C$ low temperature leachate, and performed hematological analysis and blood chemical analysis with measuring SOD, GSH, catalase, NO and MDA content in the liver. In addition, we made comparative observation of anti inflammatory effect and anti-cancer effect. Results : Compared to the control group, both the group medicated with Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui total extract and with $50^{\circ}C$ low-temperature leachate were found to decrease the number of thrombocytes in blood plasma and NO content while to increase SOD activity and catalase activity significantly. Both groups also showed anti-inflammatory effect against THP-1 cells and a multiplication inhibition effect against liver cancer cells and stomach cancer cells significantly. Conclusions : Both Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui total extract and Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui $50^{\circ}C$ low-temperature leachate have significant antioxidant effect, anti inflammatory effect and anti cancer effect.

Mume fructus is the roasted fruits of Prunus mume and has been used as traditional chinese medicine. In this study, mume fructus extracts were prepared by three different methods including hot water extract (sample1), fermentation extract using Lactobacillus (Sample2-LP and sample-LA) and ethanol extract (sample3). Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were improved by fermentation process, compared to water extract. Sample 3 showed the highest activity in DPPH radical scavenging. The cytotoxicity of the sample 2-LP was in the range of 83.3% cell viability at $300{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration. Mume fructus extracts in a concentration-dependent manner inhibited melanogenesis and NO synthesis was inhibited. Specifically, the extracts fermented by L. plantarum (sample2-LP) showed higher anti-oxidant activity, anti-inflammatory and skin whitening activity than other extracts. It suggests that sample 2-LP could be potentially used as a resource of materials for functional cosmetics.

본 연구에서는 Endlicheria anomala (Nees) Mez 메탄올 추출물(EAME)의 항산화, 항염증 및 미백 생리활성을 in vitro assay 및 cell culture model system을 이용하여 분석하였다. EAME의 항산화능을 분석한 결과 DPPH, $H_2O_2$로 유도한 ROS, LPS로 유도한 NO 등 다양한 산화적 스트레스원을 효과적으로 소거하였다. 대표적인 항산화 효소들로 천연물에 의한 항산화능 활성에 의해 주로 발현이 유도되는 세효소인 HO-1, TrxR1, NQO1 및 그 전사 인자인 Nrf2의 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 시료 처리 농도의 증가에 따라 세 효소 및 Nrf2의 발현이 유의적으로 증가됨을 보였다. 또한 EAME는 in vitro DOPA oxidation을 강하게 저해하여 tyrosinase inhibitor로서 작용할 가능성을 시사하였고 이에 B16F10 melanocyte를 이용하여 미백 효능을 분석한 결과 유의적인 melanin 생성억제능 및 tyrosinase 효소 활성 억제능을 보였으며 이는 tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2 등 melanin 생성의 핵심 작용 효소들의 단백질 발현 저해를 통해 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 EAME가 높은 항산화능과 항염증 활성, 그리고 미백 활성을 보유함을 처음으로 밝혔으며 향후 기능성 식품 및 피부 미용 소재로서유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Methods : For evaluation of antioxidative effects, scavenging activity on superoxide anion radical and DPPH radical were measured. Also, inhibitory activity on LDL oxidation and linoleic acid peroxidation were measured in each samples. In the in vivo test, inhibitory activity on TBARS production, GSH contents in rat liver were measured. SOD, Catalase, GSH-px and ALDH activity were analysed in ethanol extracts of Ulmi Radicis Cortex. Result : 1. Scavenging activity on superoxide anion radical was higher in water extract than in ethanol extract even in low concentration of 50ppm as over 90%. 2. There was no difference between water extract and ethanol extract in the scavenging activity on DPPH radical but, Ulmi Raclicis Cortex and Ulmi Trunci Cortex showed high effect even in low concentration of 10ppm. 3. GSH reduction was prevented and antioxidative activity such as Mn-SOD, GSH-px in the rat liver recovered in the treatment of ethanol extracts of Ulmi Radicis Cortex. Conclusion : Ulmi Radicis Cortex recorded as Ulmi Trunci Cortex in official regulation book. But, it was known that Ulmi Radicis Cortex was more effective than Ulmi Trunci Cortex in most physical activities.

This study has assessed the anti-oxidative activities and cytotoxic effects of Lithospermum erythrorhizon ethanol extract and measured the effects of tyrosinase inhibition activities with a goal of estimating the usage of the medicinal plant as an ingredient of cosmetics. First, to perform a basic test on the extract, pH and UV-spectrum were measured. According to the measurement, the extract had control functions at pH 5.5, and maximum absorbance occurred at 530nm. In particular, DPPH (1-1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl)-inhibiting activity (IC50) and polyphenol content were 149.81 ${\mu}g/mL$ and $51.28{\pm}2.52$ mg/mL respectively. In addition, as extract concentration increased, tyrosinase inhibition activities improved as well. In raw 264.7 cell-based MTT assay, cell survival rates were 98% at 1000 ppm and 153% at 100 ppm. Therefore, it's been confirmed that there is almost no cytotoxin. According to the test results above, it appears that the Lithospermum erythrorhizon ethanol extract would be effective in anti-oxidation and application as a cosmetic ingredient.

Ecklonia cava is popular in Korea as a marine functional materials. E. cava is generally collected and used on the coast of Jeju Island. However, the continuous use of collected natural E. cava may be limited because difficult to secure throughout the year and may be exposed to environmental pollution. Jeju magma seawater (MSW) was known to be significant advantages such as safety, cleanness, stability, and functional improvement. Attempts have been reported on application of MSW to the culturing of macro- and microalgae and showed improved results. Thus, the objective of the present study was to explore the anti-melanogenesis activity of brown seaweed E. cava (E. cava cultured with MSW [MSWE]) extract cultured in tanks with MSW of Jeju Island to evaluate the possibility of cosmeceutical industrial application. MSWE extract showed the higher polyphenolic and dieckol contents than natural E. cava (NE) extract. Anti-melanogenesis activity of MSWE extract and NE extract are tested and compared using tyrosinase and dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) oxidation inhibition assay. MSWE extracts evidenced more effective tyrosinase and DOPA oxidation inhibition activity than that of the NE extracts and the commercial whitening agent, arbutin. MSWE extracts also markedly inhibited melanin synthesis and decreased the expression of melanogenesis-related protein in ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone-stimulated B16F10 melanoma cells without cytotoxicity. These results suggest that MSW cultivation process would be more effective in releasing bioactive compounds with whitening effect from seaweed such as E. cava at an industrial scale.
