Bioactivity-guided fractionation led to the isolation of two new phenylpropanoids, 3-O-p-coumaroyl-1-(4-hydroxy- 3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone (1) and 3-O-p-coumaroyl-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-O-$\beta$-gulcopyranosylpropanol (2), together with three known compounds, N-p-coumaroylserotonin (3), N-feruloylserotonin (4) and p-coumaric acid (5) from the leaves of Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D-NMR. Compared to arbutin (I$C_{50}$ 0.048 mM) as a control, compounds 3 and 4 exhibited stronger tyrosinase inhibition activities with an I$C_{50}$ values of 0.027 mM and 0.026 mM, respectively. Compounds 1 (I$C_{50}$ 0.055 mM) and 2 (I$C_{50}$ 0.053 mM) also showed strong activities.

로즈마리(Rosmarinus officinalis L.)는 식품소재로서 널리 사용되고 있으며 다양한 생리활성이 보고되어 있다. 그러나 극성이 다른 용매 추출물의 상호작용과 생리활성에 관한 연구는 잘 정립되어서 보고되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 로즈마리 분말을 hexane, EtOAc, MeOH 그리고 95%, 70%, 50% 또는 25% EtOH 및 물로 추출한 다음, 각각의 용매 추출물의 항산화, 항비만, 항 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 및 미백효과 등을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 로즈마리 추출물의 항산화 및 tyrosinase 저해 효과는 비교적 극성이 높은 50% EtOH, 25% EtOH 및 증류수 추출물이 가장 효과가 좋았다. 그러나 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성억제는 EtOH의 농도가 높은 50~95%와 MeOH 추출물에서 효과가 가장 좋았다. 지방세포의 분화억제는 70% EtOH로 처리시에 가장 효과가 좋았으며, EtOH의 농도가 70% 보다 증가하거나 감소하였을 경우에는 농도에 비례하여 감소하였다. 본 실험의 결과 최적의 추출용매는 항산화, tyrosinase 저해, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성억제 및 지방세포의 분화 억제 등의 질환에 따라서 차이가 있었다. 이러한 추출용매를 고려하면 추출용매에 따라서 최적의 생리활성 성분의 종류와 함량이 차이가 있고 이로 인하여 생리활성 효과도 달라진 것으로 생각된다.

A new alkyldithiocarbonate (xanthate), as sodium salts, C2H5OCS2Na, was synthesized by the reaction between CS2 with ethyl alcohol in the presence of NaOH. The new xanthate was characterized by 1H NMR, IR and elemental analysis. Then, the new synthesized compound was examined for functional study of cresolase activity of Mushroom Tyrosinase (MT) from a commercial source of Agricus bisporus in 10 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.8, at three temperatures of 10, 20 and 33℃ using UV spectrophotemetry. 4-[(4-methylphenyl)- azo]-phenol (MePAPh) was used as a synthetic substrate for the enzyme for cresolase reaction. The results show that ethyl xanthate can activate or inhibit the cresolase activity of mushroom tyrosinase depending to the concentration of ethyl xanthate. It was concluded that the enzyme has two distinct sites for ethyl xanthate. The first one is a high-affinity activation site and the other is a low-affinity inhibition site. Activation of the enzyme in the low concentration of ethyl xanthate arises from increasing the affinity of binding for the substrate as well as increasing the enzyme catalytic constant. The affinity of ligand binding in the activation site is decreased by increasing of the temperature, which is the opposite result for the inhibition site. Hence, the nature of the interaction of ethyl xanthate is different in two distinct sites. The binding process for cresolase inhibition is only entropy driven, meanwhile the binding process for cresolase activation is not only entropy driven but also enthalpy driven means that hydrophobic interaction is more important in the inhibition site.

Tyrosinase catalyzes the rate-limiting steps in melanin biosynthesis which is involved in skin-coloring and local hyperpigmentation of human beings, and unfavorable darkening of food products, Inhibitory effects on 3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (dopa) oxidase activity of tyrosinase by 594 kinds of herbal extracts prepared from herbal medicines and wild plants in Korea were estimated. Two herbal extracts prepared from radicis cortex of Morus alba and rhizoma of Curcuma longa were selected as those exhibiting potent inhibitory effects on the enzyme activity. These herbal extracts were subjected to sequential fractionations with methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and polar residue. The inhibitory effects on dopa oxidase activity of tyrosinase were shown in ethyl acetate fraction of Morus alba, and in methylene chloride fraction of Curcuma langa. The ethyl acetate fraction of Marus alba exhibited 50% of inhibition on dopa oxidase activity of tyrosinase at the concentration of 12 ${\mu}g/ml$, and methylene chloride fraction of Curcuma langa at 51 ${\mu}g/ml$.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate melanogenesis inhibition of ethanol extract of Polyporus (EP) by using B16F10 melanoma cells. Methods : We measured antioxidant effect of EP by using 1,1-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and we confirmed melanin contents and tyrosinase activity of EP in cells. Additionally, the expression of tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) and TRP-2 was observed by Western blot. Results : EP showed significantly high radical scavenging activity and inhibition of melanogenesis in dose-dependent manner by decreasing cellular tyrosinase activity and melanin content with or without α-melanin stimulating hormone. TRP-1 and TRP-2 expressions were also suppressed by EP in B16F10 cells. Conclusions : These results suggest that EP inhibits the melanogenesis and it could be a new organic ingredient for hyper-pigmentation.

Objective: This study was performed to detennine the depigmenting effects of Kamibongpungtongsung-San. Methods: To determine the depigmenting effects of Kamibangpungtongsung-San. we measured the degree of tyrosinase inhibition, melanin production & cell viability in cultured B16 melanoma cells, UV screen and cytoprotective effects on PC12 cells injured by hydrogen peroxide. Results: Komibangpungtongsung-San did not show inhibitory effects on melanin production in melanoma cells, UV screen and cytoprotective effects on PC12 cells injured by hydrogen peroxide. However it showed mild inhibitory effects on tyrosinase activity. Conclusion : This study shows that Kamibangpungtongsung-San, a generally used prescription for dermatologic diseases, do not have depigmenting effects via tyrosinase inhibition. Therefore, the depigmenting effect and mechanism of depigmentation by Kamibangpungtongsung-San need to be evaluated and investigated in other directions.

Previously , the methanolic extract of peach sees was found to have a strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity in an in vitro assay. Several phenolic compunds were isolated from the seeds by solvent fractionation , Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, and preparative HPLC , and one of them showing strong tyrosinase inhibition was identified as benzoic acid by UV, IR, $^1$H/$^1$$^3$C-NMR, and EI-MS spectrsopy. Benzoic acid (IC50= 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) and L-ascorbic acid (IC50=28$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), well-known tyrosinase inhibitors. In particular , benzoic acid inhibited markedly the enzymatic browing (melanosis) of apple juices at low concentration of 0.01% and 0.05, comparable to that of L-ascorbic acid (P<0.05). these results suggest that benzoic acid, one of an effective food preservatives, may be potentially useful as a functional alternative to sulfites for the control of melanosis in fruit juices.

유기산으로 분해된 카라기난 가수분해물의 각종 생리활성을 실험한 결과, citrate와 malate를 가수분해 매체로 이용할 경우, $100^{\circ}C,\;110^{\circ}C$ 및 $120^{\circ}C$ 가수분해물은 B. cereus와 B. subtilis에 강한 항균활성을 나타내었으며, $120^{\circ}C$에서 180분간 가수분해한 것이 B. subtilis에 대해 특별히 강한 항균활성을 나타내었다. 그러나 충치균인 St. mutans에 대한 항균활성은 없는 것으로 확인되었다. Tyrosinase 활성 저해 효과는 $100^{\circ}C$ 및 $120^{\circ}C$에서 처리된 시료 중에서 citrate와 malate 처리구가 97% 이상의 높은 tyrosinase 활성을 저해하는 것으로 확인되었다. Citrate로 $100^{\circ}C$에서 90분 처리된 시료의 경우 97.1%, 180분 처리된 것은 99.4%의 저해 활성을 나타내었고, $120^{\circ}C$에서 90분 처리된 시료의 경우 98.2%의 tyrosinase 활성을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, malate 처리구도 처리온도와 처리시간에 따라 약간의 차이는 있지만 전체적으로 citrate 처리구와 비슷한 결과로 $98{\sim}99.5%$의 높은 tyrosinase 활성 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 당질 농도에 따라 tyrosinase 활성 저해 효과가 다르게 나타났으며, 환원당 및 전당의 농도에 비례하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 항혈액응고활성은 유기산의 종류에 따라 차이를 나타내고 있는데, 0.3% malate 용액으로 $80^{\circ}C$에서 180분간 처리 시료의 경우 APTT가 $2,451{\pm}18(sec)$로 항혈액응고활성이 가장 높았으며, 동일한 조건에서 얻어진 0.3% citrate 가수분해물이 $1,617{\pm}15(sec)$였으며 lactate, succinate, acetate 가수분해물 순으로 높았다. 가수분해가 진행됨에 따라 분자량이 적어지고 결국은 황산기 함량도 낮아지게 됨으로써 항혈액응고활성이 낮아지는 것으로 여겨졌다.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the in vitro melanogenesis inhibitory effects of methanolic extracts of the edible and medicinal lichens, Umbilicaria (Gyrophora) esculenta and Usnea longissima. The quantities of the total phenolic compounds of methanolic extract of the two lichen extracts were determined to be 1.46% and 2.62%, respectively. In order to evaluate the antioxidative effects of the extracts, we also measured electron donating abilities (EDA) and lipid peroxidation rates. The EDA values measured by the reduction of 1.1'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were 72.8% and 80.7% for the extracts, with $SC_{50}$ (median scavenging concentration) values of $1.29{\pm}0.05\;mg/ml$ and $1.03{\pm}0.06\;mg/ml$, respectively. The rates of inhibition of lipid peroxidation using linoleic acid were 92.1% and 97.3% for the extracts, with $IC_{50}$ (median inhibitory concentration) values of $0.57{\pm}0.05\;mg/ml$ and $0.53{\pm}0.06\;mg/ml$, respectively. The inhibitory rates of the extracts against tyrosinase were 67.4% and 84.8%, respectively. The extracts were shown to reduce melanin formation in human melanoma cells. Melanin contents in the samples treated with 0.01% and 0.1% U. esculenta were 47.1% and 31.2%, respectively, and those treated with 0.01% and 0.1% Usnea longissima were 51.1% and 34.9%, respectively, whereas a value of 54.0% was registered when ascorbic acid was utilized as a positive control. In addition to direct tyrosinase inhibition, it was determined that the lichen extracts affected the activity of tyrosinase via the inhibition of tyrosinase glycosylation. As a result, the methanolic extracts of U. esculenta and Usnea longissima evidenced melanogenesis inhibitory effects, which occurred via multiple routes.
