Inhibitory effects of 130 medicinal plants on hyaluronidase activity were analyzed. The medicinal plants are clinically used as herbal medicines for korean traditional prescriptions. Six out of the 130 herbal medicines exhibited more than 50% of inhibition on hyaluronidase activity by their total methanol extracts with 5mg/ml as a final concentration. The active total methanol extracts were prepared from cortex of Acantbopanax gracilistylus, lignum of Caesalpinia sappan, radix of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, radicis cortex of Morus alba, herba of Prunella vulgaris, and radix of Sanguisorba officinalis. These active total methanol extracts were sequentially fractionated with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and then water. Among the solvent-fractionated extracts, the butanol fractions of Acantbopanax gracilistylus and Glycyrrhiza uralensis with 1 mg/ml as the final concentration exhibited more than 50% of inhibition on hyaluronidase activity, and the other fractions with the same concentration did less than 20% of inhibition.

Hydrocotyle is a genus of prostrate, perennial aquatic or semi-aquatic plants formerly classified in the family Apiaceae, now in the family Araliaceae. Lipoxygenases (LOX) are present in the human body and play an important role in the stimulation of inflammatory reactions. Ethanolic extracts of five Hydrocotyle species (H. ramiflora, H. maritima, H. nepalensis, H. sibthorpioides, and H. yabei) showed inhibition of 23.5~50.6% at 2.0 mg/mL. Their extracts showed LOX inhibition in half maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) range 15.1~15.7 ㎍/mL. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a major component of the extracellular matrix Five extracts of these species inhibited less than 23.0% of Hyaluronidase (HAase) activity at a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a form of xanthine oxidoreductase, a type of enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species. Five Hydrocotyle species were found to have inhibitory activity of XO at 2.0 mg/ml, with 65% having greater than 50% inhibition. H. ramiflora exhibited the highest activity with an inhibition of 80.0%. The results suggested that Lipoxygenases, Hyaluronidase, and Busan 47340, Republic of Korea from five Hydrocotyle species might be multifunctional and prevent the degradation of allergic reactions and inflammation.

본 연구에서는 천연식물자원으로부터 항염증, 항산화 및 항관절염에 활성을 갖는 유용한 물질을 검색하기 위해 문헌 조사 및 기존의 연구결과를 통하여 선정된 53가지의 생약재로부터 NO와 HAse(hyaluronidase)의 억제활성 여부를 측정하였다. 측정 결과 억제효과가 우수하다고 확인된 황기(Astragalus membranaceus)와 오미자(Schisandra chinensis), 길경(Platycodon grandiflorum)을 최종 시료로 선정하였고, 이를 단독으로 사용하기보다는 유효성분의 항염증 및 항산화 효능에 대한 상승효과를 알아보기 위하여 혼합추출물의 최적조건을 확인하였다. 각 소재들을 1:2:1로 혼합한 혼합추출물에서 다양한 추출조건에 따라 단일 생약재 추출물에 비해 2배에서 4배까지의 수율 증가를 보였으며, NO 억제활성 효과도 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 수율과 NO 억제활성을 고려할 경우 혼합추출물의 최적 추출 조건은 황기, 오미자, 길경의 혼합비율 1:2:1, 추출시간 12시간, 추출온도 $30^{\circ}C$, 혼합 속도 50 rpm, 추출용매로 ethyl acetate이었다. 위의 최적 조건을 적용한 혼합추출물은 HAse 저해 활성 실험에서 최초 추출물(not grinded, 95% EtOH, 24시간, 실온, 0 rpm)보다 약 16% 정도의 저해 상승효과가 나타났다. 이는 길경과 황기, 오미자의 상승작용 때문으로 사료된다. 이를 통해 황기와 오미자, 길경의 혼합추출물이 항염증, 항산화 및 항관절염에 활성을 갖는 유용한 물질로 사용 가능할 것이라 사료된다.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a mucopolysaccharide, occurring naturally in living organisms. It is one of the most hydrophilic molecules, so it has been known as being related to skin hydration and skin aging. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Cimicifuga heracleifolia ethanol extract on the hyaluronic acid synthesis and the inhibition of hyaluronidase activity. To determine cytotoxicity, hyaluronic acid synthase 2 (HAS2) gene expression, HA production and, hyaluronidase inhibitory effects, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-ly)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, real time - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), hyaluronic acid enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (HA-ELISA), and hyaluronidase assay were used, respectively. When the Cimicifuga heracleifolia extract was treated in the HaCaT cells up to 500 ㎍/mL concentration, cytotoxicity was confirmed by the Cimicifuga heracleifolia extract at concentrations above 200 ㎍/mL. Therefore, the optimum concentration of all experiments used in this study was determined to be 200 ㎍/mL. HAS2 gene expression increased by Cimicifuga heracleifolia extract in a concentration-dependent manner at all treatment concentrations. The production rate of HA was tended to decrease at the highest concentration of 200 ㎍/mL. The hyaluronidase activity inhibition effect of Cimicifuga heracleifolia extract was very high compared to the control group. Based on these results, Cimicifuga heracleifolia extract was expected to have a moisturizing effect on human skin and special attention should be paid to the determination of the concentration of Cimicifuga heracleifolia when developing cosmetic materials using it.

Reactive oxygen species(ROS) are produced at a high rate continuously as a by-product of aerobic metabolism. Several lines of evidence provided that ROS appears to cause to develop aging and various diseases. High level of hyaluronic acid with decreased molecular weight has been detected in patients with inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. Hyaluronidase is an endohexosaminidase that initiates the degradation of hyaluronic acid with high molecular weight. Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Maximowicz has been known as a korean folk medicine for treatment of neuritis and rheumatism. (omitted)

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.

본 연구에서는 감(Diospyros kaki)의 1,3-butylene glycol 추출물(DBG)과 에탄올 추출물(DET)를 이용하여 항산화, 항노화 및 미백 기능을 규명하였다. 항산화능은 DPPH와 superoxide dismutase (SOD) assay를 통해 규명하였으며, 그 결과 DBG와 DET 모두 현저한 DPPH 소거능 및 SOD-유사능을 보여주었다. 또한 elastase와 hyaluronidase 억제능 그리고 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-1) 발현을 통해 항노화 기능을 규명하였다. DBG와 DET 모두 농도의존적으로 elastase와 hyaluronidase를 억제하였으며, MMP-1 발현 역시 저해하였다. 마지막으로 미백 기능을 규명하기 위하여 tyronisinase 억제 및 melanin 생성 저해능을 알아보았는데, DBG 추출물만이 tyrosinase를 저해할 수 있었다. 요약하면, 감 추출물은 강한 항산화, 항노화, 미백 기능을 갖고 있으며, 추후 화장품 소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
