Objectives : Elastic fibers are found in the skin, lungs, arteries, veins and other structures. Elastases destroy the elastic fibers and cause the emphysema and pulmonary hypertension. Oxidative stress is needed for these pathologic changes. Accordingly, present study was designed to investigate the effect of Yukmigeehwang-hwan extracts (YHE) on elastase activity and anti-oxidative effects of YHE. Methods : The inhibitory effects on elastase and DPPH and NO free radical scavenging activities of YHE were measured. Results : The elastase activity was significantly inhibited by YHE. YHE significantly scavenged DPPH and NO free radicals as well. Conclusion : YHE showed the elastase-inhibiting effects and anti-oxidative activities in vitro. These results suggest that YHE may have potential roles in the treatment of pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary hypertension.

우리나라 특산, 희귀 식물로 알려져 있는 꼬리진달래(Rhododendron micranthum Turcz)를 기능성 유산균 Lactobacillus rhamnosus를 이용하여 발효 소재를 만들고 발효 소재의 항산화 활성 및 피부 개선 활성을 조사 하였다. 고형분 함량 3%의 꼬리진달래 추출물에 L. rhamnosus를 3%가 되게 접종하여 3일간 배양하여 $5{\times}10^9CFU/ml$의 높은 농도의 유산균이 배양 되었고 총페놀 함량은 배양 전 130 GAE mg/ml에서 157 GAE mg/ml로 증가 한 것으로 확인 되었다. DPPH, ABTS radical 소거능과 tyrosinase, elastase 저해 활성은 발효 전과 비교 하였을 때 각각 1.3, 1.5, 2.4, 5.6배 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 꼬리진달래 추출물을 유산균을 이용 하여 발효하였을 때 새로운 발효소재로 식품 및 화장품 산업 분야에 다양한 용도로 사용 가능할 것으로 생각 된다. 하지만 발효에 의한 천연 성분의 변화 및 활성 성분에 대한 분석, 생리활성 관련 작용 기전에 대해 추가적인 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

Method : In this experiment, We observed effect of SHE on cell viability, inhibition of melanin synthesis and inhibitory effect on tyrosinase and elastase. Results : 1. SHE treated group showed decreased cell viability rates significantly compared with non-treated group. More than SHE $250{\mu}g/ml$, $500{\mu}g/ml$ and $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ of treated groups were lower levels of melanin synthesis respectively. 2. SHE significantly showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity in vitro, SHE increased tyrosinase inhibitory activity and elastase inhibitory activity in B16F10 cells, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity in vitro. 3. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity and elastase inhibitory activity in B16F10 cells, tyrosinase inhibitory activity in vitro were not accepted statistical significance compared with non-treated group. 4. SHE treated group showed increased SOD-like activity rates significantly compared with non-treated group. More than SHE $250{\mu}g/ml$, $500{\mu}g/ml$ and $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ of treated groups were lower levels of melanin synthesis respectively. Conclusion : These results suggest that SHE can inhibit melanin synthesis and tyrosinase inhibtory activity. So, We suggest that SHE can be maintained skin whitening.

Methods : In this experiment, effect of PRA on cell viability, inhibition of melanin synthesis and inhibitory effect on tyrosinase and elastase. Results : 1. More than $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ of PRA treated group showed lowered proliferation rates significantly compared to non-treated control group. 2. All of treated groups were lower levels of melanin synthesis respectively. 3. PRA did not show inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activities in vitro. But, PRA suppressed tyrosinase activities in B16F10 cells significantly. 4. PRA suppressed elastse type 1 activities in dose-dependent manner in vitro. But, PRA slightly suppressed elastase type 4 activities in vitro, and PRA also slightly suppressed elastase activities in vivo. Conclusion : These results suggest that PRA can inhibit melanin synthesis through ihhibitory action on tyrosinase activity and inhibt elastase activity, and also suggest that these results can be used for the study on maintaining skin whitening or elasticity.

Clitocybin D, a novel human neutrophil elastase inhibitor, was isolated from the culture broth of Clitocybe aurantiaca. This compound was purified by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and preparative HPLC. The compound was determined to be 4-(4,6-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-3H-isoindol-1-yl)-benzoic acid on the basis of 1D and 2D NMRs and MS spectroscopic analysis. Analysis of the human neutrophil elastase (HNE) inhibitory activity of the isolated compound revealed that it showed significant HNE inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of $17.8{\mu}M$.

A new sesquiterpene lactone dimer [1], together with five known compounds (2-6), was isolated from the flowers of Inula britannica. The structures of these compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic studies and chemical evidence. The inhibitory activities of these isolated compounds (1-6) against human neutrophil elastase (HNE) were also evaluated in vitro; compounds 1 and 6 exhibited significant inhibitory effects against HNE activity, with $IC_{50}$ values of 8.2 and $10.4{\mu}m$, respectively, comparable to that of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG; $IC_{50}=10.9{\mu}M$). In addition, compounds 3 and 5 exhibited moderate HNE inhibitory effects, with $IC_{50}$ values of 21.9 and $42.5{\mu}M$, respectively. In contrast, compounds 2 and 4 exhibited no such activity ($IC_{50}$ > $100{\mu}M$). The mechanism by which 1 and 3 inhibited HNE was noncompetitive inhibition, with inhibition constant ($K_i$) values of 8.0 and $22.8{\mu}M$, respectively.

Objectives : To investigate the effects of Ohbaesangami (OBSGM) on mucosa and skin diseases, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory tests were performed using several in vitro test models. Results : In anti-microbial test, OBSGM showed the slight inhibitory effect against Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In anti-oxidant test, OBSGM showed the potent radical scavenging activity. In anti-inflammatory test, OBSGM weakly inhibited the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide(NO) release from the RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. OBSGM also inhibited the LPS-induced $interleukin-1{\beta}(IL-1{\beta})$ and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expressions. The inhibitory effects of OBSGM on macrophage activation was via the inhibition of $NF-{\kappa}B$, evidenced by transient transfection assay. Furthermore, OBSGM markedly inhibited the activation of Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase in RAW 264.7 cells. In skin wrinkle formation assay, OBSGM strongly inhibited collagnease and elastase, whose activities are tightly related with the wrinkle formation. In addition, OBSGM inhibited the activities of MMP-1, MMP-2 on the mRNA levels in RAW 264.7 cells. However, OBSGM did not show an inhibitory potential on tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis, indicating that it could not be applicable for skin whitening. Conclusion : These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of OBSGM may be due to its inhibitory potentials on the macrophage activation. And, the anti-wrinkle effects of OBSGM may be due to its inhibitory potential on the collagnease and elastase activities. Therefore, OBSGM could be applicable for the treatment of mucosa and skin diseases.

In this study, hot water and ethanol, acetone, and hexane extracts of the steamed Deodeok were investigated for use as raw materials for natural cosmetics. Hot water and ethanol, acetone and hexane extracts of steamed Deodeok did not indicate cell toxicity up to 300 ㎍/mL concentration in the MTT assay. The tyrosinase inhibition effects of the ethanol extract were higher than the ascorbic acid. The efficacy of the steamed Deodeok's ethanol extract on the elastase inhibition was similar to that of quercetin at higher concentrations. In conclusion, water, ethanol, acetone and hexane extracts of the steamed Deodeok indicated strong possibility as a whitening and anti-wrinkle functional cosmetic ingredient. Among them, the steamed Deodeok's ethanol extract, which showed excellent activity, is highly available because it has high safety compared to other organic solvent extraction methods used in cosmetics, and has minimal irritation to the skin.

침엽수는 국내에 널리 분포되어 있고 산업계에서 다양한 방법으로 이용하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 연구는 한정적으로 진행되었으며 침엽수 간의 비교 분석에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 소홀히 다루어져 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내에 분포하는 침엽수 4종을 선정한 후 생리활성을 측정하여 침엽수 간의 효능을 비교하였다. 실험에 앞서 소나무, 편백나무, 삼나무, 구상나무의 잎과 구과를 채취하였고 70% 메탄올로 추출하였다. 실험은 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량, 항산화 활성(DPPH, TEAC, FRAP), α-glucosidase, elastase, tyrosinase 효소 저해 활성을 진행하였다. 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량, 항산화 활성에서는 편백나무와 삼나무에서 높게 측정되었다. α-Glucosidase 저해활성에서는 편백나무 잎의 활성이 가장 높아 항당뇨 제품으로의 활용성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. Elastase 저해활성에서는 소나무 잎과 구과, 구상나무구과에서 높게 나타나 주름개선 화장품으로의 이용 가능성을 확인하였고, 미백실험인 tyrosinase 저해활성에서는 소나무 잎에서 활성이 가장 높게 측정되었다. 우리나라는 침엽수를 가로수와 방풍림 조성 등의 목적으로 대량 식재하고 있고, 매년 가지치기 작업을 해주기 때문에 원료 수급에 있어서 경쟁력이 높은 편이다. 그렇기 때문에 본 실험 결과를 기반으로 헬스케어 제품, 당뇨 제품, 주름 및 미백 화장품 등으로 개발하기에 적합할 것으로 판단된다.
