본 연구는 예로부터 민간요법 및 한방에 유용한 약재로 사용되어지고 있는 관중(Dryopteris crassirhizoma Nakai)을 이용하여 Propionibacterium acnes에 대한 항균활성을 평가하고, 이를 토대로 여드름 억제 및 치료에 관련된 화장품 소재를 개발하는데 그 목적이 있다. P. acnes에 대한 관중 crude 추출물 및 헥산분획물의 minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 및 paper disk diffusion assay로 항균 효과를 측정하였으며, 추출물에 대한 온도 및 pH 변화에 따른 안정성을 평가하였다 추출물을 이용한 P. acnes에 대한 MIC 값은 관중 crude 추출물은 0.008 mg/mL, 헥산추출물은 0.001 mg/mL로 측정되었으며, 이는 대조군으로 사용한 항생제인 triclosan의 MIC 값(0.004 mg/mL)과 비교했을 때 시료가 관중 crude 추출물 및 헥산 분획물임을 고려하면 매우 항균활성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 추출물에 대한 paper disk diffusion assay를 수행한 결과, 대조군으로 사용한 triclosan과 대비, 높은 활성을 나타내는 것으로 측정되었으며, HaCaT 세포에 대한 독성은 $20{\mu}g/mL$ 이하의 농도에서는 나타나지 않았다. 관중추출물의 온도, pH 안정성을 평가한 결과, 25, 70, 80, 90, 100, $121^{\circ}C$ 등 다양한 온도 조건과 $pH 2{\sim}pH 11$의 변화에 있어서도 그 효능이 변하지 않고 안정된 상태로 유지되는 것으로 관찰되었다.

The in vitro antibacterial activities of anti-acne agents prepared from the extracts of natural sources were investigated against several bacteria including antibiotic-susceptible and -resistant Propionibacterium acnes. SD-1 and SD-2 were prepared with different formulations and they showed strong antibacterial activities. The anti-acne agents completely inhibited the growth of the tested strains at the concentration of 0.5%. There was no difference in antibacterial activity between antibiotic-susceptible and -resistant P. acnes. The inhibitory activities of two agents showed time-dependent manner. In S. aureus, time-kill curve demonstrated 2.8- and 3.4-$log_{10}$-unit killing after 8 h with SD-1 and SD-2, respectively. In P. acnes, time-killing curve demonstrated 5.1- and 6.1-$log_{10}$-unit killing after 24 h with SD-1 and SD-2, respectively. SD-2 showed stronger antimicrobial activity than SD-1. From these results, we expect that SD-1 and SD-2 have strong antibacterial activities and have advantages for treating acne.

Objectives : Corydalis tuber has been used for promoting blood circulation and for relieving pain in Oriental medicine. In the present study, we focused on the antimicrobial activity of Corydalis tuber and compared its antimicrobial activity with the processed Corydalis tuber. Methods : Processing of Corydalis tuber was accomplished by immersing in 5% of acetic acid for 12 h and then by roasting at $250^{\circ}C$ for indicated time periods(0-30 min). Minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) and the zone of growth inhibition were determined against Propionibacterium acnes(P. acnes). Results : The methanolic extracts of Corydalis tuber showed potent antimicrobial effect(MIC 62.5 ${\mu}g/ml$). Its alkaloidal component, dehydrocorydaline, also exhibited antibacterial activity(MIC 25.0 ${\mu}g/ml$). After processing of Corydalis tuber, its inhibitory effect on the growth of P. acnes was significantly enhanced compared with that of unprocessed Corydalis tuber. Furthermore, elevated content of dehydrocorydaline was found in the processed than the unprocessed Corydalis tuber. However, the different roasting minutes effected on antimicrobial activity. The best roasting time of Corydalis tuber was 10 min, while roasting for the time above 15 min resulted in diminishing antimicrobial activity. Thus, it was concluded that the standardized processing condition of Corydalis tuber should be established to obtain enhanced antimicrobial(P. acnes) activity. Conclusion : For antimicrobial effect against P. acnes, the best processing condition of Corydalis tuber is immersing in 5% of acetic acid for 12 h and by roasting at $250^{\circ}C$ for 10 min.

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to test the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of BPH, which is composed of Pini Densiflorae Nodi Lignum and Querci Acutissimae Fructus, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Angelicae Tenuissimae Radix. Method : Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of BPH on Propionibacterium acnes, one of anaerobic bacteria species were evaluated by measuring the levels of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) elimination and lipid peroxidation. Result : When BPH was applied to CCD-986sk (Human normal fibroblast) to confirm the level of cytokine(tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-8), its level increased in proportion to that of BPH's concentration, which indicated dose-dependent relationship. Using the Disk diffusion to measure the bacterial growth inhibition zone varying BPH concentration, it was found that the antibacterial effect of BPH was less than that of erythromycin, the control group, but was higher than that of saline, and it increased with higher concentrations. In a liquid culture medium containing BPH, the growth rate of Propionibacterium acnes was decreased by more than 10% at 25% BPH. After adding P. acnes to THP-1 monocyte, and treated it with BPH, and measuring the concentration of TNF-a and IL-8, it was observed that the amount of TNF-alpha and IL-8 significantly decreased depending on the level of BPH concentration. The ability to eliminate DPPH increased with higher BPH concentration. The inhibition of lipid peroxidation was increased by BHT treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion : Using Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic bacteria, we confirmed that BPH has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Objectives : This experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of Yeouigeumhwang-san(YUGHS) on anti-inflammation and anti-Propionibacterium acnes. Methods : The cytotoxicity of YUGHS about viability of Raw 264.7 cell was tested by using a colorimetric tetrazolium assay(MTT assay). To investigate the anti-inflammatory effets of YUGHS on LPS-induced macrophage Raw 264.7 cell, we used ELISA kit and Western blots. Inhibitory effects of YUGHS on Propionibactrium acnes were investigated by using paper disk diffusion method. Results : 1. YUGHS has no cytotoxicity under 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentration but over 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ has a little cytotoxicity in Raw 264.7 cell. 2. Concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ YUGHS inhibited the production of NO in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 3. All concentrations of YUGHS did not inhibit the production of $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 4. All concentrations of YUGHS significantly inhibited the production of $PGE_2$ in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 5. YUGHS did not inhibit the expression of COX-2 but concentration of 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ YUGHS inhibited iNOS expression in the Raw 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS. 6. YUGHS has the effect of blocking $NF-{\kappa}B$ into nucleus in LPS-induced macrophage Raw 264.7 cell 7. YUGHS did not have the inhibitory effect of Propionibactrium acnes. Conclusions : These results indicate that Yeouigeumhwang-san has anti-inflammatory effets. If further study is performed, the use of Yeouigeumhwang-san will be valuable and benificial in the therapy of acnes.

Acne is a chronic skin disease that typically occurs in the teens and twenties, and its symptoms vary according to age, sex, diet, and lifestyle. The condition is characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes in the epidermis, sebum overproduction, excessive growth of Propionibacterium acnes, and P. acnes-induced skin inflammation. Interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-6 are predominant in the inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris. These cytokines induce an inflammatory reaction in the skin in the presence of pathogens or stresses. Moreover, IL-1α accelerates the production of keratin 16, which is typically expressed in wounded or aberrant skin, leading to abnormalities in architecture and hyperkeratinization. Orobol (3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyisoflavone) is a metabolite of genistein that inhibited the P. acnes-induced increases in IL-6 and IL-1α levels in human keratinocytes (HaCaTs) more effectively compared with salicylic acid. In addition, orobol decreased the IL-1α and IL-6 mRNA levels and inhibited the phosphorylation of inhibitor of kappa-B kinase, nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha, and mitogen-activated protein kinase induced by P. acnes. Finally, the expression of Ki67 was decreased by orobol. Thus, orobol ameliorated the inflammation and hyperkeratinization induced by heat-killed P. acnes and thus has potential for use in functional foods and cosmetics.

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.
