Effect of isoliquiritigenin isolated from the heartwood of Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Leguminosae) on mushroom tyrosinase activity was investigated in vitro using L-tyrosine and L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as the substrates. When L-tyrosine was used as a substrate, both isoliquiritigenin and kojic acid, a positive control, inhibited tyrosinase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. IC$_{50}$ values of isoliquiritigenin and kojic acid were 61.4 and 52.2 ${\muM}$, respectively. However, isoliquiritigenin showed week inhibitory effect on the oxidation of L-DOPA by tyrosinase with inhibition ratio of 9.1 ${\pm}$ 7.1% at 100 ${\muM}$. It is also suggested that 3-unsubstituted and 4-hydroxyl phenyl group in isoliquiritigenin plays an important role on the inhibition of tyrosinase activity when L-tyrosine was used as a substrate. Analysis of Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that isoliquiritigenin acts as a competitive inhibitor in case of L-tyrosine as a substrate.

To investigate the relationship between structure and biological activity of phenylpropanoids, we measured effects of phenylpropanoids on anti-oxidant and whitening activity, In DPPH radical scavenging activity, caffeic acid analogues showed the significant anti-oxidant activity. Although phenylpropanoids did not inhibit purified-tyrosinase activity, they significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin production in MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells. However, phenylpropanoids did not affect tyrosinase expression in MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells, which suggest that inhibition of MSH-induced melanin production was due to tyrosinase inhibition mediated via other signal pathways but not expression of tyrosinase. Phenylpropanoids also significantly inhibited both hyaluronidase and elastase activity, suggesting that phenylpropanoids may be used as whitening, hydration and anti-wrinkling agents. Hydroxyl residue of aromatic ring in phenylpropanoids plays an important role in anti-oxidant and whitening activity.

The tyrosinase inhibition activity and mutagenicity as assessed by the Ames test on phenolic antioxidants (5-Caffeoyl quinic acid, 3,4-Dihydroxy cinnamic acid, Quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose, Kaempferol 3-O-${\beta}$- D-glucopyranose) and the ethyl acetate fraction isolated from mulberry leaves were examined. The ethyl acetate fraction and chlorogenic acid exhibited weaker tyrosinase inhibitory activities than kojic acid. In addition, the ethyl acetate fraction from mulberry leaves, containing phenolic antioxidants, showed no mutagenicity by the Ames test.

We have tested tyrosinase inhibitory activity on the methanol extracts of 23 species marine algae and 23 species traditional medicinal plant. Among them, four medicinal plants, Ephedra sinica, Atractylodes japonica, Pinnelia ternata, and Citrus aurantium, showed strong inhibition potency over 90% at concentration of 0.33 mg/mL. Also, two marine algae, Enteromorpha compressa and Sargassum singgildianum showed mild inhibition potency over 50% at concentration of 0.33 mg/mL.

We have examined radical scavenging effects, tyrosinase inhibition activities and anti-allergic activities on the methanol extracts of Opuntia ficus-indica cultivated in Cheju island. By the comparison of the four samples, methanol and 50% methanol extracts of respective fruits and stems of Opuntia, the most desirable activities were obtained in the sample of the stem's methanol extracts. Based on this analysis, further study to identify the active components in this sample is warranted.

본 연구에서는 복숭아 유과 과육의 품종에 따른 총 폴리페놀 함량과 항산화능 및 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 알아보고자 하였다. 품종별 복숭아 유과 과육의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 7.24~9.95 mg/g의 함량을 나타내며 마도카에서 가장 낮고 몽부사에서 가장 높았으며, DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거능에서 몽부사의 radical 소거능이 가장 높게 나타났다. Reducing power에서의 항산화 실험 결과 역시 몽부사에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, tyrosinase 저해 활성에서는 홍백에서 가장 높은 tyrosinase 저해능을 보였으나 6품종간의 유의적 차이는 확인할 수 없었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과에 따라 복숭아 유과과육은 항노화 및 미백활성으로 화장품 산업에서 천연 물질로 잠재적인 기능성을 가지고 있을 것으로 사료된다.

마이크로웨이브 추출(MAE)을 이용하여 만가닥버섯을 물, 50% 에탄올, 99% 에탄올로 추출하였으며 마이크로웨이브의 power와 시간에 따라 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량, 전자공여 작용(EDA), tyrosinase 저해작용, 아질산염 소거작용의 차이를 관찰하였다. Microwave power를 60∼120 W로 증가시킴에 따라 총 폴리페놀 함량과 전자공여능은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 만가닥버섯의 전자공여능이 90 W에서 평형에 이른 반면에 tyrosinase 저해능은 90 W 이상에서 급격히 증가하였다. 50% 에탄을 추출물과 99% 에탄을 추출물의 아질산염 소거능은 microwave power를 증가시킴에 따라 확연히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 pH 1.2에서 99% 에탄을 추출물은 물 추출물에 비해 약 5배 정도의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 추출시간에 따른 총 폴리페놀 함량을 살펴본 결과 물 추출물의 경우 추출시간 5분에서 평형에 이르렀다. 전자공 여능은 5∼10분 사이에 급격히 증가하다가 10분에서 평형에 이르렀으며 물 추출물에서 가장 높게 나타내었다. tyrosinase 저해능은 microwave power 증가에 따라 점진적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

Tyrosinase 저해능은 마이크로웨이브 power 증가에 따라 뚜렷한 증가 경향을 나타내었다. 추출시간을 증가시킴에 따라 전자공여능과 tyrosinase 저해능은 추출시간을 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내다가 각각 추출시간 10분, 5분에서 평형에 이르렀다. 용매별 추출물에서 아질산염 소거능은 마이크로웨이브 power와 추출시간을 증가시킴에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며 pH에 의존적인 소거율을 나타내었다.

To investigate the possibility of development as a whitening agent using arctigenin, we measured DPPH assay, NBT/XO assay, intracellular ROS scavenging assay, tyrosinase assay and MSH-induced melanin production in B16 melanoma cells. Arctigenin dose-dependently had anti-oxidant activity in DPPH, NBT/XO and intracellular ROS assay. Although arctigenin did not inhibit purified tyrosinase activity, it dose-dependently inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin production in B16 melanoma cells stimulated by $1{\mu}M$ ${\alpha}$-MSH. In particular, arctigenin at a concentration $100{\mu}M$ inhibited ${\alpha}$-MSH-stimulated tyrosinase activity and melanin production by $50.9{\pm}2.9%$ and $69.0{\pm}6.5%$ respectively. And typical tyrosinase inhibitor, arbutin, inhibited $57.7{\pm}2.9%$ and $65.1{\pm}5.0%$ respectively. Such an similar inhibitory effect of arctigenin and arbutin in B16 melanoma cells may be due to the inhibition of MSH signal pathway rather than the direct inhibition of tyrosinase. Therefore, these results suggest that arctigenin may be useful for the development as whitening agents.
