Objectives : In order to find out the whitening effects of Leonuri Herba, this study was designed to identify the effects and the action mechanism of LHE(Leonuri Herba extract) on Malignant melanoma cell lines. Methods : After treating LHE on the B16F10 cell-Malignant melanoma cell line-, the cell survival rate, melanin biosynthesis rate, intra&extracellular tyrosinase activity rate, SOD-like activity, tyrosinase mRNA gene expression were investigated. The results were compared with control group without LHE treatment or with positive control group treated with whitening efficacy substance. Results : B16F10 cell survival rate, melanin biosynthesis rate, and intra&extracellular tyrosinase activity were significantly inhibited depending on the concentration of treated LHE. Melanin biosynthesis rate and tyrosinase activity rate were also decreased when ${\alpha}-MSH$ was combined with LHE. In addition, the SOD-like activity was increased in a concentration-dependent manner in the treatment with the LHE, indicating signigicant activity at high concentrations, and the tyrosinase mRNA gene expression was decreased in both the LHE-treated group, the LHE and ${\alpha}-MSH-treated$ group. Conclusions : LHE seems to inhibit melanin synthesis through inhibition of tyrosinase activity and inhibition of tyrosinase mRNA gene expression. It also has the effect of promoting SOD-like activity and may be used clinically as a skin whitening agent in the future.

For the purpose of the development of skin-whitening or therapeutic agents against hyperpigmentation, aqueous extract from Nardostachys chinensis (AENC) was evaluated for melanogenesis inhibitory activity in B16F10 melanoma cell. The treatment with AENC at the 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/ml level significantly inhibits the biosynthesis of melanin compared with untreated control. The tyrosinase activity also significantly decreased in AENC-treated cells at the 0.2 and 0.5 mg/ml level and inhibitory effects were more efficient than commercial arbutin at 0.1 mg/ml. The Western analyses confirmed the significantly decreased expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-2 by AENC treatment. These results indicate that AENC may contribute to the inhibition of melanin biosynthesis through regulating the expression as well as activity of tyrosinase and AENC may be useful as a new candidate in the design of new skinwhitening or therapeutic agents.

치자 열매 추출물로부터 미백제 개발을 위해 항산화, 항균, 항암 등 생리활성을 가지는 치자로부터 tyrosinase 효소활성 저해와 B16F10 melanoma cell을 이용한 melanogenesis 억제 효과를 실험하였다. Tyrosine을 기질로 사용하여 ethanol, hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate 용매 및 증류수 추출물에 대한 tyrosinase 효소 저해활성을 실험한 결과 에탄올 추출물 ($81.5{\pm}1.6\%$)이 증류수 추출물 ($62.7{\pm}0.4\%$)보다 더 우수한 효과를 보여주었다. Ethyl acetate 분획물의 tyrosinase 효소활성 저해율은 다른 유기용매 분획물보다 현저히 우수한 $99.7{\pm}0.1\%$나타내었으며, 현재 tyrosinase 저해제로 개발된 arbutin ($97.8{\pm}1.2\%$)과 유사한 저해활성을 보였다. B16F10 melanoma cell을 이용한 melanogenesis 억제 효과에서도 에탄올 추출물이 증류수 추출물보다 우수한 억제활성을 보여 주었다. Ethyl acetate 분획물을 사용하였을 경우, melanogenesis 억제 효과가 다른 분획물보다 현저히 우수하였다. 이상의 실험결과는 치자 추출물의 미백원료로서 사용 가능성을 보여주었다.

Silkworm-derived silk materials which contain 45 to 55% protein (18 amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids) have free radical-scavenging activities. In the present study, we investigated the whitening and anti-aging effects of silkworm gland under various conditions with B16F1 melanoma cells and human dermal fibroblasts. To evaluate the toxicity of soluble gland hydrolysate (SGH), mouse-derived B16F1 melanoma cells were treated with 0.2~5 mg/mL, cytotoxicity was not observed at all concentrations. The tyrosinase and elastase activities were significantly decreased as dosage levels of SGH increased. In addition, cell death was decreased by treated with SGH and antioxidative activity was the most effective in the SGH treatment. These findings suggest that SGH may be used as a potential functional biomaterial in having the skin whitening effect and anti-aging activity by inhibition of tyrosinase and elastase activities.

Effects of methanolic extract from Adenophorae Radix (AR) on melanogenesis were investigated in mouse melanoma B16F10 cells. The methanol extract of AR was partitioned into Hexane, Ethyl acetate (EA), Butanol, H₂O, and exogenously added to the culture medium for 72 hours at the concentration of 10, 50, 100 and 200 ㎍/㎖. Of the four partitions, Hexane and EA partion of AR reduced tyrosinase activity, which is the key enzyme for a melanogenesis, as well as melanin contents. But the EA partition was less toxic for B16F10 cells and has more efficient melanin-reducing effect than the former. In addition, the EA partition dramatically lightened the color of cell pellet and significantly decreased the level of tyrosinase protein expression. In these results, EA partition of AR reduced melanin synthesis of B16F10 mouse melanoma cells by down regulating the tyrosinase activity and tyrosinase protein expression. Therefore, it is anticipated that AR is a candidate for an efficient whitening agent which supresses melanogenesis.

선학초 추출물을 기능성 화장품 소재로 활용하기 위하여 미백효과를 검증하였다. 세포 내 tyrosinase 저해활성 측정결과 선학초 에탄올 추출물 $500{\mu}g/mL$에서 42%의 저해활성을 나타내었다. 이는 선학초 추출물이 세포 내 tyrosinase 발현을 억제시킴으로서 멜라닌 합성 또한 저해 하는 것임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 선학초 추출물의 단백질 발현과 mRNA 발현 억제효과를 검토한 결과 선학초 열수 및 에탄올 추출물을 처리한 B16F10군에서는 tyrosinase protein의 발현이 처리하지 않은 군보다 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 선학초 추출물의 미백효능을 확인할 수 있었으며, 식품 및 화장품의 기능성 소재로 이용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Melanogenesis is a physiological process resulted in the synthesis of melanin pigments, which has a role in protecting skin front the damaging effect of ultra-violet (UV) radiation. The main aim of the present study was to examine the effect of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica(UL) on Melanogenesis. Cells were cultured in the presence of various concentrations of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica for 48 h, and there were estimated total melanin contents as a final product and activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme, in Melanogenesis. Among the four solvent extracts tested, EtOAc extract mostly increased tyrosinase activity, And EtOAc extract increased the melanin contents and tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Especially It was observed that 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml EtOAc extract promotes melanin secretion in B16/F10 melanoma cells by 140% at 48 h treatment and activity of tyrosinase increased by 180% in the presence of same concentration. In conclusion, as for EtOAc extract treatment, there was no effect on the viability of B16/F10 cell, only to stimulate Melanogenesis.

본 연구에서는 황칠나무 잎 추출물의 HaCaT 세포에서의 항산화 활성과 B16F1 melanoma 세포에서의 미백활성을 측정하였다. HaCaT 세포를 이용한 실험에서, 황칠나무 잎 추출물의 에틸아세테이트 분획과 아글리콘 분획은 각각 50 및 $25{\mu}g/ml$의 농도 이하에서 독성을 나타내지 않았다. UVB $800mJ/cm^2$를 HaCaT 세포에 조사하였을 때, 황칠나무 잎 추출물은 농도 의존적으로 자외선으로부터 세포를 보호하였다. 10 mM의 $H_2O_2$ 및 $4{\mu}M$의 rose bengal을 HaCaT 세포에 처리하였을 때, 에틸아세테이트 분획($6.25{\sim}50{\mu}g/ml$) 및 아글리콘 분획($6.25{\sim}25{\mu}g/ml$)은 우수한 세포 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 황칠나무 잎 추출물의 B16F1 melanoma 세포에서의 미백활성을 측정한 결과, 미백제로 알려진 알부틴 보다 더 우수한 멜라닌 합성 저해 활성을 보였다. 이상의 결과들은 황칠나무 잎 추출물이 ROS에 대항하여 세포를 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 세포보호제 및 천연항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가르키며, ${\alpha}$-MSH로 유도된 멜라닌 생합성 저해 효과로부터 황칠나무 잎 추출물이 새로운 미백 화장품의 원료로써 이용 가능함을 알 수 있다.

Acquired pigmentary skin diseases such as abnormal melanogenesis, vitiligo, chloasma and inflammatory pigmentation are related to regulate the melanin production, In this study, an ethanol extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunb.(EHD) makedly inhibited melanin biosynthesis and suppressed, the protein expression of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein 1(TRP-1), and tyrosinase-related protein 2(TRP-2) in B16F10 cells. On the other hand, EHD did not inhibit mushroom tyrosinase activity. These results indicate that EHD may contribute to the inhibition of melanin biosynthesis through regulating tyrosinase activity and expression, and serve as a new candidate in the design of new skin-whitening or therapeutic agents.
