This study is peformed to investigate the effect of water extract from Vaccinium uliginosum L., on melanin production in B 16 melanoma cells, procollagen production and matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) inhibition in human fibroblast cells. One hundred grams of the Vaccinium uliginosum L. was extracted with 2000 mL of water($90^{\circ}C$, 16h, 2times). The water extracts were lyophilized and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ until used. Dry weight yields of extracts of Vaccinium uliginosum L. were $3\%$(w/w). Extracts from Vaccinium uliginosum L. showed scavenger activities on DPPH radical, superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide and singlet oxygen radical. And these substances inhibited release of cyiokines from human keratinocyte after UV B exposure. Therefore we confirmed that extracts from Vaccinium uliginosum L. had antioxidative effect. These substances inhibited purified tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in B 16 melanoma cells treated/untreated IL-$1{\alpha}$. Moreover this extract stimulated procollagen production and inhibited MMP-1 production in human fibroblast cells treated/untreated IL-$1{\beta}$. Therefore we confirmed that extracts from Vaccinium uliginosum L. had whitening effect. And these substances decreased degree of wrinkle in hairless mouse skin that induced by UV B irradiation. Therefore we confirmed that extracts from Vaccinium uliginosum L. had anti-wrinkle effect. From the above results, it is possible that Vaccinium uliginosum L. may be developed to be an anti-melanogenesis agent and anti-wrinkle agent.

Vaccinium uliginosum L. (VU) is a flowering plant in the genus Vaccinium has berry fruit. This study was performed to investigate the effect of water extract of Vaccinium uliginosum L. and fractions on inhibition of melanogenesis and wrinkle formation. One hundred grams of the Vaccinium uliginosum L. was extracted with 2,000 mL of water ($90^{\circ}C$, 16h, 2 times). The water extracts were lyophilized and stored at $4^{\circ}C$ until used. Vaccinium uliginosum L. extracts showed scavenger activities on DPPH radical, superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide and singlet oxygen radical, dose dependently. And VU extract and fractions reduced melanin contents on B16F10 melanoma and inhibited the expression of melanogenesis-related proteins, tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP-1) and dapachrometa utomerase (Dct, TRP-2). Moreover VU extract and fractions stimulated procollagen production and inhibited MMP-1 production in human fibroblast. And it decreased degree of wrinkle formation in hairless mouse skin that induced by DVB irradiation for 9 weeks. From the above results, it is possible that Vaccinium uliginosum L. may be developed to be the health functional food and functional cosmetics that have anti-melanogenesis and anti-wrinkle effect.

월귤은 극지 고산식물로 북극권과 고산대에 주로 자라며, 한반도에서는 북한의 고산대와 아고산대, 남한의 설악산 대청봉과 중청봉 사이 암석지, 귀때기청봉 등 아고산대 그리고 홍천의 산록에 자란다. 월귤이 격리 분포하는 강원도 홍천군 해발고도 350m 부근 애추 말단은 풍혈이다. 플라이스토세 빙하기에 널리 분포했던 월귤은 홀로세에 기후가 온난해지면서 한반도 북부와 중부의 고산대 및 아고산대와 함께 여름이 서늘한 홍천 풍혈 주위를 후빙기 피난처로 삼아 빙하기 유존종으로 격리 분포하게 되었다. 월귤의 남한계선이며 하한계선인 홍천에 자라는 군락은 가장 가까운 거리에 있는 설악산 아고산대와 1,200m의 해발고도 차이가 있으므로 빙하기의 기온은 현재보다 $6.6^{\circ}C$ 내외로 낮았던 것으로 추정된다 극지와 고산에 격리 분포하는 월귤은 여름 고온에 민감한 식물이다. 홍천의 산록에 자라는 월귤은 지구온난화에 따라 생리적으로 영향을 받거나 높은 온도를 좋아하는 식물과의 경쟁에 밀려 사라질 수도 있다. 한반도의 생물다양성 보전 차원에서 홍천의 월귤 군락지에 대한 보호 관리가 필요하다.

Inhibitory effects of the whole extract and isolated compounds from the leaves of Vaccinium koreanum (Ericaceae) on rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) and on platelet aggregation were investigated for the prevention or the treatment of chronic diabetic complications. Arbutin, isolated from n-butanol fraction of methanol extract, exhibited a potent inhibitory effects on rat platelet aggregation induced by ADP $(IC_{50}=0.12\;{\mu}M)$ and collagen $(IC_{50}=0.039\;{\mu}M)$ and showed same inhibitory activities with positive control, tetramethylene glutaric acid, on RLAR.

천연물들은 현재까지 합성 항산화제들을 대체하기 위하여 많은 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연 항산화제로서 화장품과 바이오산업에 적용하기 위해 정금나무 열매 70% 아세톤 추출물의 항산화능을 측정하였다. 정금나무 열매의 항산화능을 확인하기 위하여 폴리페놀의 함량을 측정, 전자공여능, $ABTS{\cdot}^+$, nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide들의 소거 측정을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 폴리페놀의 총 함량은 55.972 mg TAE/g로 정량 되었다. 전자공여능 실험에서는 농도 의존적으로 DPPH radical 소거능이 증가 하였으며 500 ${\mu}g/ml$에서 98% 이상의 활성을 나타내어 양성 대조군인 BHA의 활성을 초과하는 것을 알 수 있었다. $ABTS{\cdot}^+$에 대한 소거활성은 500 ${\mu}g/ml$에서 66.7%의 결과로 나타났고, nitric oxide radical 소거능은 100 ${\mu}g/ml$에서 57%의 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 정금나무 열매 70% 아세톤 추출물의 hydrogen peroxide의 소거활성은 50 ${\mu}g/ml$에서 정금나무 열매 추출물은 70% 이상의 활성을 나타났으며, BHA 보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 천연물의 산업화 가능성에 있어 가장 중요한 것은 재료의 영속적인 수급과 적은 농도를 첨가하여도 높은 효과를 나타내는지의 여부이다. 매년 수확이 가능한 정금나무 열매를 이용한 본 연구의 결과에서 열매의 항산화능 확인 및 화장품 등 바이오산업에 천연항산화제 원료로서의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, a new extraction method was developed and two kinds of flavonoids were extracted from the mature fruit of Vaccinium uliginosum L. of China. These two kinds of flavonoids were analyzed by spectral and identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV/Vis. The extract of the fruit was total acid hydrolyzed. TLC chromatography was subsequently employed to identify the hydrolysate. Two kinds of aglycone flavonoids, quercetin and myricetin, were identified. At the same time PC chromatography was used to identify the monomer sugar in the flavonoids and it was verified as glucose. HPLC, UV/Vis, and Mass spectrum analyses revealed that the flavonoids were quercetin 3-monoglucosides and myricetin 3-monoglucosides.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness among the elderly. In this study, extract of Vaccinium uliginosum L. that has potent antioxidant activity was evaluated as effective preventive supplement for AMD using AMD animal model induced by high fat diet and UV A irradiation. Treatment with VU extract protected photoreceptor cells of retina and blocked the accumulation of lipofuscin pigment-granules induced by high fat diet and UV A light irradiation. This study suggests that VU extract may be a useful agent for prevention of progress of AMD.

In the course of finding Korean natural products with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, we found that a methanolic extract of the twigs of Vaccinium oldhami significantly inhibited AChE. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract resulted in the isolation of two compounds, taraxerol (1) and scopoletin (2), as active constituents. These compounds inhibited AChE activity in a dose-dependent manner, and the $IC_{50}$/ values of compounds 1 and 2 were 33.6 (79 $\muM$) and 10.0 (52 $\muM$) $\mu$g/mL, respectively.
