Effects of hot-water extract from Sasa quelpaertensis leaf (HWES) on melanogenesis were investigated in B16/F10 mouse melanoma cells. HWES inhibited cellular tyrosinase activity and melanin biosynthesis in a dose-dependent manner. Western blotting analysis showed that HWES dose-dependently inhibited tyrosinase and tyrosinase related protein-1 expression. Also, HWES suppressed sustained ERK activation in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that HWES inhibits the melanin biosynthesis through the suppressive effect against pathway involving sustained ERK activation.

This study aimed to verify the whitening effect of Cordyceps militaris, which is distributed in several countries worldwide, including Korea, Japan, and China, and has various medical effects. To screen the efficacy of C. militaris, the inhibitory activity of tyrosinase, which was 66% at a concentration of 1 mg/mL, was measured. Thereafter, the survival rate of melanoma cells was measured, and cell experiments were conducted at a concentration of 90% or more in which C. militaris was not toxic to cells. After measuring the inhibitory effect of TRP-1, TRP-2, tyrosinase protein, and mRNA expression, which are factors influencing melanin synthesis, C. militaris was found to decrease in all factors, with an expression level that was significantly lower compared to quercetin. This confirmed that C. militaris stimulated with LED has excellent whitening activity and can be used as a functional whitening cosmetics material.

Tyrosinase inhibitors are an important component of cosmetic products. Our previous studies have proposed that eckol isolated from the brown alga Ecklonia cava, can be explored as a tyrosinase inhibitor. However, cellular activities and mechanism of action of eckol remain unknown. Therefore, the current study analyzed the eckol binding modes using the crystal structure of Bacillus megaterium tyrosinase. The effects of eckol on melanin synthesis induced by ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone in B16F10 melanoma cells were also investigated. We predicted the 3D structure of tyrosinase and used a docking algorithm to simulate binding between tyrosinase and eckol. These molecular modeling studies were successful (calculated binding energy value, $-115.84kcal\;mol^{-1}$) and indicated that eckol interacts with Asn205, His208, and Arg209. Furthermore, eckol markedly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. We also found that eckol decreased the expression of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP) 1, and TRP2. These results indicate that eckol is a potent inhibitor of melanogenesis, and this finding may be useful for the development of novel pharmaceutical and cosmetic agents.

This study was designed to investigate effects of LFE on skin whitening and elasticity using melanoma cells. Methods : In this experiment, effect of LFE on cell viability, inhibition of melanin synthesis and inhibitory effect on tyrosinase and elastase. Results : More than $250{\mu}g/ml$ of LFE treated group showed lowered proliferation rates significantly compared to non-treated group. More than $125{\mu}g/ml$ of LFE treated groups were lower levels of melanin synthesis respectively. LFE showed inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activities in vitro. And, LFE suppressed tyrosinase activities in B16F10 cells significantly. Finally, LFE suppressed elastase type I and IV activities in dose-dependent manner in vitro. And LFE also slightly suppressed elastase activities in vivo. Conclusion : These results suggest that LFE 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 elasticity or whitening.

인삼은 다양한 약리학적 활성을 나타내며 이러한 활성은 사포닌에 기인한 것으로 알려져 있다. 사포닌 중 주사포닌이 분해된 부사포닌이 주사포닌보다 높은 활성을 나타내며 부사포닌의 함량은 발효를 통하여 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 인삼의 발효 추출물의 미백 활성을 측정하여 화장품 원료로서의 개발 가능성을 타진하고자 하였다. 자연삼을 발효하고 추출물을 제조하였고 멜라닌 합성효소에 대한 저해 활성과 세포 내 멜라닌 합성 억제능을 평가하였다. 아울러 세포독성을 측정하여 안전성을 평가하였고 임상시험을 통하여 자외선에 의한 색소침착 억제능을 평가하였다. 기존 미백 원료인 Kojic acid나 Arbutin과 비교하여 자연삼 발효 추출물은 멜라닌 합성 억제능이 더 높은 것으로 측정되었고 세포 독성도 낮게 나타났으며 임상평가를 통하여 자외선에 의한 색소침착도 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 천연물의 세포생물학과 임상학적 융합연구이며 이를 통하여 개발된 자연삼 발효 추출물은 안전하며 우수한 미백효과를 가지는 미백 화장품 원료로 평가된다.

Background: Ginseng extracts and ginseng-fermented products are widely used as functional cosmetic ingredients for their whitening and antiwrinkle effects. Recently, increasing attention has been given to bioactive metabolites isolated from endophytic fungi. However, little is known about the bioactive metabolites of the fungi associated with Panax ginseng Meyer. Methods: An endophytic fungus, Penicillium sp. SNF123 was isolated from the root of P. ginseng, from which acremonidin E was purified. Acremonidin E was tested on melanin synthesis in the murine melanoma cell line B16F10, in the human melanoma cell line MNT-1, and in a pigmented 3D-human skin model, Melanoderm. Results: Acremonidin E reduced melanogenesis in α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)-stimulated B16F10 cells with minimal cytotoxicity. qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that acremonidin E downregulated melanogenic genes, including tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1), while their enzymatic activities were unaffected. The antimelanogenic effects of acremonidin E were further confirmed in MNT-1 and a pigmented 3D human epidermal skin model, Melanoderm. Immunohistological examination of the Melanoderm further confirmed the regression of both melanin synthesis and melanocyte activation in the treated tissue. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that acremonidin E, a bioactive metabolite derived from a fungal endophyte of P. ginseng, can inhibit melanin synthesis by downregulating tyrosinase, illuminating the potential utility of microorganisms associated with P. ginseng for cosmetic ingredients.

Objectives : Recently the aesthetic, especially skin whitening, is focused on. This study was designed to investigate the effects of Gypsum Extract(GE) on skin whitening using B16F10 cell lines. Methods : In this study, we investigated effect of GE on cell viability, melanin synthesis, Superoxide dismutase(SOD)-like activity and tyrosinase activity in vitro and in vivo. Results : In results, The proliferation of B16F10 cell lines was increased by GE concentration. But there was no statistical signification. Melanin synthesis was decreased except GE 125㎍/㎖ of treated group. And the melanin synthesis ratio was increased in group being treated α-MSH. But After treating GE, it was decreased compared to Non-GE treated group. In addition, the SOD-like activity was enhanced in more than GE 125㎍/㎖ of treated group. And the activity of tyrosinase in vitro was inhibited in GE 500㎍/㎖ and 1,000㎍/㎖ of treated groups. The activity of tyrosinase in vivo was reduced in both Arbutin 500㎍/㎖ of treated group and Gypsum 500㎍/㎖ of treated group compared to controled group. After being treated α-MSH, the activity of tyrosinase was enhanced. But after treating Arbutin 500㎍/㎖ or Gypsum 500㎍/㎖, it was inhibited being compared to the group of Non-medicament treated. Conclusion : The results of this study showed the effects of GE that can inhibit melanin synthesis and the activity of tyrosinase and enhance the SOD-like activity. It means that gypsum has the skin whitening effect.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the etahnol extract of Saururus Herba and their dermal boiactivity properties related to cosmeceuticals such as depigmentation and radical scavenging effect. Methods : Using B16/F10 Melanin cells, we measured depigmentation effect of the etahnol extract of Saururus Herba. Antioxidant activities of the etahnol extract of Saururus Herba were determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity. Results : The etahnol extract of Saururus Herba showed considerable radical scavenging activity($SC_{50}$ : 25 ${\mu}g$/ml). Antioxidant activity is in a dose dependant manner. The etahnol extract of Saururus Herba down-regulated melanin synthesis effectively. B16 cells incubated with the etahnol extract of Saururus Herba showed reduces melanin formation and tyrosinase activity. The etahnol extract of Saururus Herba alone markedly suppressed melanin content and tyrosinase activity. Conclusions : These results suggest that the ethanol extract of Saururus Herba is a potent depigmentaion agent and it may be a candidate for antioxidant agent.
