Talipariti hamabo is a plant growing around salt marshes in the Lava Coast region of Jeju Island, Korea. In this study, the extract of T. hamabo leaves was investigated for the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-bacterial activities and their active constituents were identified. In the anti-inflammatory tests using lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction inhibited the nitric oxide production without causing cell toxicity. Moreover, the EtOAc fraction reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6) as well as prostaglandin E₂. In the anti-oxidative studies with DPPH and ABTS⁺ radicals, potent scavenging activities were observed in the EtOAc and n-butanol fractions. Upon the anti-bacterial tests using Staphylococcus epidermidis, EtOAc and n-butanol fractions exhibited good activities. Through the phytochemical studies on EtOAc fraction, three components were isolated by repeated column chromatography; oleic acid (1), p-hydroxyphenethyl-trans-ferulate (2), nicotiflorine (3). Based on these results, the extract of T. hamabo leaves can be developed as natural resources for cosmetic applications.

In this study were evaluated the whitening and anti-oxidative activities from the extracts of Sorbus alnifolia branches, and identified the chemical structures of the active ingredients. In the whitening tests using α-MSH stimulated B16F10 melanoma cells, the 70% ethanol extract and n-butanol (n-BuOH) fractions concentration-dependently inhibited cellular melanogenesis and intracellular tyrosinase activities without causing cell toxicity. The total polyphenol content of n-BuOH and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fractions were measured to be respectively 241.1 ± 1.1 and 222.9 ± 2.4 (mg/g GAE), and the total flavonoid content of EtOAc fraction was 75.3 ± 2.0 (mg/g QE). Upon anti-oxidant studies with DPPH and ABTS⁺ radicals, potent radical scavenging activities were observed in the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions. Moreover, in the study of cell protection efficacy using HaCaT keratinocytes damaged by H₂O₂, the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions showed a very positive results on prevention of oxidative stress. Phytochemical studies for this extract resulted in the isolation of four compounds; 2-oxopomolic acid (1), euscaphic acid (2), epi-catechin (3), prunasin (4). These results suggested that the extract of S. alnifolia branches containing compounds 1-4 as natural ingredients could be used as whitening and anti-oxidant ingredients in cosmetic formulations.

Astragalus membranaceus Bunge is used in herbal medicine in Eastern Asian countries including Korea. In this study, we assessed the effects of A. membranaceus extract (AM) on the aquaporin-3 (AQP3) protein expression in HaCaT cells. AM did not affect viability of HaCaT cells. AQP3 expression and cell migration seem to be maximal at $100{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitor, PD153035, blocked AM-induced AQP3 expression and cell migration. In addition, an 80% ethanol extracts of herbal prescription, SinhyoTakleesan (ST), which is composed of A. membranaceus, Angelicae gigantis, Glycyrrhiza glabra Linne, and Lonicera japonica Flos also induced AQP3 expression at $20{\mu}g/mL$ in HaCaT cells. Collectively, these results suggest that AM induce AQP3 expression via EGFR pathway.

Objectives: Hyaluronic acid, high molecular glycosaminoglycan, exists in extracellular matrix of tissue, especially, in skin and has been known to be deeply involved in skin hydration. In this study, we investigated the effect of methanol extract of Hwang-gi, Astragalus membranaceus root, on hyaluronic acid production in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Methods: We determined hyaluronic acid synthase 2 gene expression and hyaluronic acid production in HaCaT cells by using RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. Results: Hwang-gi extract didn't show the toxicity to HaCaT cells within the treated concentration and increased the hyaluronic acid synthase 2 gene expression and hyaluronic acid production. Conclusions: Hyaluronic acid production increased by Hwang-gi could be, partially, contribute to the moisturing effect in skin by it.

맞춤형화장품은 사회환경 변화와 개성을 중시하는 트렌드에 따른 화장품으로서 지속해서 언급되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 나노에멀젼 제형과 앰플 제형의 비율을 달리함으로써 피부타입에 대응한 나노에멀젼 앰플 4 종을 제조하여, 맞춤형화장품 베이스로서의 적용 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 휘발잔분량을 달리한 나노에멀젼 앰플 4 종에 대해, 90 일 동안의 시간에 따른 입자크기, 다분산지수, 제타전위 및 점도를 측정하였으며, 콜로이드 분산계의 안정성 평가방법으로 터비스캔을 측정하였으며, 마지막으로 인체 사용성 만족도를 평가하였다. 결과, 나노에멀젼 앰플 4 종은 지성용 시험품보다 건성용 시험품에서 휘발잔분량이 많음을 확인하였다. pH는 6.41 ~ 6.88 범위이며, 입자크기는 170 ~ 174 nm 범위로 90 일 경과 후 변화는 최대 1.2% 이내로서 입자크기 안정성에는 특이점이 없었다. 다분산지수는 모든 시험품에서 0.21 보다 작은 수치 내에서의 변화를 나타냄으로써 거의 일정하며, 단분산에 가까운 입도 분포를 보이는 것으로 확인하였다. 제타전위는 초기에 4종의 시험품 모두 -63 mV 이상이며, 시간에 따라 약간 감소 경향을 보이나 최대 2.5% 감소하는 정도로 변화가 거의 없었다. 점도는 초기에 4,100 ~ 5,100 cps 범위로 시간에 따라 감소 경향을 보여 최대 37.7% 감소하였다. 터비스캔 측정에서는 안정성의 척도인 turbiscan stability index가 모두 1.0 이하로 분산 안정성을 보였다. 피부타입에 대응한 나노에멀젼 앰플 4 종의 사용성 만족도 평가(6 점법)에서는 지성용 시험품(5.42 ± 0.67 점) > 중지성용 시험품(5.36 ± 0.67 점) > 중건성용 시험품(5.15 ± 0.69 점) > 건성용 시험품(4.75 ± 0.75 점)의 순으로 평가되었다. 나노에멀젼 앰플 4 종은 물성적으로 안정하며, 피부타입에 따른 맞춤형화장품 베이스로서 적용 가능성을 확인하였으며, 다양한 방법으로 확장 가능성도 기대된다.

Kojic acid dimethyl ether (1), and the known kojic acid mono methyl ether (2), kojic acid (3) and phomaligol A (4) have been isolated from the organic extract of the broth of the marine-derived fungus Altenaria sp. collected from the surface of the marine green alga Ulva pertusa. The structures were assigned on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. Each isolate was tested for its tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Kojic acid (3) was found to have significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity, but compounds 1, 2, and 4 were found to be inactive.

The aim of this study is to evaluate several plant extracts with a view to developing UV sunscreen agents. In this study, 150 plant extracts were screened to elucidate their UV spectra using spectrophotometric method. Several plant extracts such as Phellodendron amurense, Morus alba, Rhododendron mucronulatum, Brassica alba have strong absorbency at UVA region (350nm), the suntanning wavelength. And Sophora flavescens, Caesalpinia sapper, Morus alba, Phellodendron amurense, showed absorption plateau value at UVB region (308nm), the erythema action wavelength. These extracts have a good absorbency property as synthetic filter and could be served as substitutes for synthetic UV sunscreen agents.

In order to lower porosity of the porous silica, titanium alkoxide solution was filled in the pore of silica in the heating-vacuum condition. The specific surface area of modified samples was decreased effectively from 900 m$^2$/g to 100 m$^2$/g. (The aggregation phenomena in modified samples were improved fairly.) Samples were heated at 600 , and then the titanium alkoxide in the pore was decomposed completely to titanium oxide from TGA-DTA measurement. From SEM result, it was evident that titanium oxide did not coat the surface of the silica. The modified samples were analyzed using SEM, DTA-TGA, BET, and UV-visible spectrometer.

Agarose hydrogel, a solid electrolyte, was investigated voltammetrically in terms of transport properties and natural convection effects using a ferrocenyl compound as a redox probe. To confirm the diffusion properties of solute on the agarose interface, the diffusion coefficients (D) of ferrocenemethanol in agarose hydrogel were determined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) according to the concentration of agarose hydrogel. While the value of D on the agarose interface is smaller than that in the bulk solution, the square root of the scan rate-dependent peak current reveals that the mass transport behavior of the solute on the agarose surface shows negligible convection or migration effects. In order to confirm the reduced natural convection on the gel interface, scan rate-dependent CV was performed in the solution phase and on the agarose surface, respectively. Slow scan voltammetry at the gel interface can determine a conventional and reproducible diffusion-controlled current down to a scan rate of 0.3 mV/s without any complicated equipment.
