Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Gami-Shengmayuipung-tang on acne. Methods : The effects of Gami-Shengmayuipung-tang (SYTSRG) on acne were measured by the $5\alpha-reductase$ inhibition, the sterilizing power for Propionibactrium acnes, the cytotoxicity of human monocyte, the inhibition for prostaglandins$(PGE_2)$, interleukins $(IL-l\beta)$ and $TNF-\alpha$ in inflammation, and the size of the hamtster ear sebaceous gland related to P. acnes. Results: On the $5\alpha-reductase$ inhibition of SYTSRG in vitro, an undiluted solution of SYTSRG showed $80\%$ inhibition on $5\alpha-reductase$ and 1/10 diluted solution of SYTSRG showed $40\%$ inhibition on $5\alpha-reductase$. On the sterilizing power for Propionibactrium acnes related acne, an undiluted solution and 1/10 diluted solution of SYTSRG formed $12\beta{\AE}$ clear zone diameters. SYTSRG did not show cytotoxicity of human monocyte. Concentrations of $0.01\%\;and\;0.04\%\;and\;0.08\%$ of SYTSRG inhibited the production of prostaglandins $(PGE_2)$ in the human monocyte stimulated with P. acnes LPS. $0.08\%$ and less of SYTSRG inhibited the production of interleukins $(IL-l\beta)$ in the human monocyte stimulated with P. acnes LPS. Concentrations of $0.04\%,\;0.08\%\;and\;0.12\%$ of SYTSRG inhibited the production of $TNF-\alpha$ in the human monocyte stimulated with P. acnes LPS. As the antiandrogenic compound, SYTSRG was used in hamster ears with topical application. SYTSRG diminished the size of the hamster ear sebaceous gland in males, but not in females. Conclusion: The present data suggest that SYTSRG may affect the primary stage of inflammation of acne.

Wearing a mask is still advised since COVID-19 continues to spread. However, masks may also irritate the skin and cause mask acne, often known as "maskne", which is a type of acne mechanica caused by friction between the skin and clothing. Therefore, there is a need to develop an effective maskne cosmetic. In this study, we made the maskne cosmetics containing humulus lupulus extract and copper tripeptide-1 and investigated its stability and safety. To measure stability, a centrifugation test and heat-cool cycling were done, and changes in viscosity and pH were measured for 8 weeks. The Cumulative Irritation Test (CIT, WKIRB-202111-HR-096) was performed and positive reactions were determined by the ICDRG criteria. The results indicated that the samples were stable after centrifugation, temperature cycling, viscosity, and pH tests. In addition, cosmetic safety test results revealed that maskne cosmetics containing humulus lupulus extract and copper tripeptide-1 did not cause any skin responses. These findings indicate that prepared maskne cosmetics' stability and safety were comparable to those of currently available commercial cosmetics.

To develop effective and safe acne vulgaris therapies with a continuing demand for new solutions, we investigated unique efficacy of an antibacterial agent from marine brown alga Eisenia bicyclis in treating acne vulgaris. The methanolic extract of E. bicyclis exhibited potential antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest antibacterial activity against the bacteria among solvent fractions. Six compounds (1-6), previously isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of E. bicyclis, were evaluated for antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria. Among them, compound 2 (fucofuroeckol-A [FF]) exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 32 to $128{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Furthermore, FF clearly reversed the high-level erythromycin and lincomycin resistance of Propionibacterium acnes. The MIC values of erythromycin against P. acnes were dramatically reduced from 2,048 to $1.0{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ in combination with MIC of FF ($64{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$). The fractional inhibitory concentration indices of erythromycin and lincomycin were measured from 0.500 to 0.751 in combination with 32 or $64{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of FF against all tested P. acnes strains, suggesting that FF-erythromycin and FF-lincomycin combinations exert a weak synergistic effect against P. acnes. The results of this study suggest that the compounds derived from E. bicyclis can be a potential source of natural antibacterial agents and a pharmaceutical component against acnerelated bacteria.

본 실험은 유산균 유래의 박테리오신이 여드름균에 의한 염증성 사이토카인의 발현을 억제하는 효능을 가지는지를 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 본 실험을 위해 인간의 각질형성세포인 HaCaT 세포에 열처리한 여드름균인 P. acnes을 농도별로 처리하여 염증성 사이토카인인 TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-8의 발현을 유도하였고, 여드름균과 박테리오신을 HaCaT 세포에 함께 처리하여 여드름균에 의해 증가된 사이토카인의 양이 박테리오신에 의해 어떻게 변화하는지를 확인하였다. P. acnes 균을 1×10⁵, 1×10⁶ 그리고 1×10⁷ CFU/ml와 같이 농도별로 처리한 결과, 사이토카인의 발현량이 농도 의존적으로 증가하였는데 TNF-α와 IFN-γ의 발현량은 여드름균을 1×10⁷ CFU/ml로 처리했을 때 두 배 이상 증가하였고 IL-8의 발현량은 네 배 이상 증가하였다. 그러나 여드름균에 의해 증가되었던 TNF-α, IFN-γ 그리고 IL-8의 발현량은 박테리오신을 처리하였을 때 농도 의존적으로 유의하게 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 김치유산균인 L. plantarum K-1 BR 균주에서 분리한 박테리오신은 여드름균에 의한 염증유발을 완화시키는 효과가 있다고 할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 인간 단핵구 세포인 THP-1 세포를 이용하여 berberine의 항염증 활성을 조사 하였다. Propionibacterium acnes의 감염은 THP-1 세포에서 산화질소(NO)와 $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-8 및 $IL-1{\beta}$와 같은 전 염증성 사이토카인의 생산을 유도했다. 그러나, P. acnes에 의해 유도된 THP-1 세포에 berberine을 처리했을 때, 전 염증성 사이토카인 및 NO의 생성이 유의하게 감소하였다. 또한 우리는 berberine의 항 염증 기능의 신호 전달 경로를 분석하여 berberine이 P. acnes 유도 세포에서 ERK1/2, JNK 및 p38의 인산화를 억제하고 $NF-{\kappa}B$ p65의 발현 및 핵이동을 억제한다는 것을 발견했다. 이러한 결과로부터 berberine은 인간 단핵구 세포에서 $NF-{\kappa}B$ 및 MAPK 신호 전달 경로를 억제함으로써 항 염증 활성을 효과적으로 발휘할 수 있다고 결론지었다. 또한, 이러한 결과는 P. acnes에 의해 유발된 염증성 질환의 치료를 위해 천연물 소재에서 유래한 알칼로이드 화합물인 berberine을 사용하여 천연 치료제를 개발할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

Leukocytes are reportedly the first line of the innate immune defense and essential for the control of common bacterial infections. Therefore, in this work, the antibacterial activity of crocodile leukocyte extract against Propionibacterium acnes was evaluated, and we also characterized the related activity of skin infection. The leukocyte extract showed the minimum inhibitory concentration to be $100{\mu}g/ml$ to P. acnes. SEM imaging demonstrated that the leukocyte extract adversely affected P. acnes cell permeability in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the crocodile leukocyte extract could significantly reduce proinflammatory markers and decrease inflammatory signs in infected mouse ears. The crude leukocyte extract was further purified using FPLC and RP-HPLC. The resulting fraction F5 was indicated as the anti-acne peptide-containing fraction. The molecular mass of the peptide contained in F5 was calculated to be 4,790.5 Da. N-Terminal sequencing revealed the amino acid sequence as GPEPVPAIYQ, which displays similarities to immunoglobulin A and leucine-rich repeat neuronal protein. This is the first reported amino acid sequence of a crocodile leukocyte extract that possesses anti-acne activity. To attempt to use it in a prototype cosmetic, an anti-acne gel containing crude crocodile leukocyte extract was formulated, resulting in seven gel formulations (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, and G7). The formulations G5, G6, and G7 exhibited 2-fold higher anti-acne activity than G1-G4. Investigation of accelerating stability studies of anti-acne gel formulations G5, G6, and G7 demonstrated that a low storage temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) is suitable for maintaining the physical properties and biological activity of the anti-acne gel products.
