물푸레나무 수피 추출물은 주요 생활성 물질로서 esculetin과 esculin을 포함하고 있다. 이 가운데, Esculetin은 B16F10 melanoma cells에서 $IC_{50}$ value $2.8{\mu}M$의 아주 좋은 melanogenesis 억제 활성을 나타내며, 이를 통해 Melan-A cell에서 melanin 합성을 감소시킨다. 더욱이, esculetin은 mushroom tyrosinase에서도 $IC_{50}$ value $40{\mu}M$의 억제 활성을 나타내어 melanin biosynthesis를 저해한다. 위의 결과들로서, 우리는 melanogenic enzyme 활성 조절에 의해 melanin 생성을 저해하는 효과적인 피부미백 물질로서 esculetin을 제안하고자 한다.

Some natural polyhydroxy aromatic compounds have inhibitory activity against tyrosinase, key enzyme for formation of melanin pigment. We examined the structure-activity relationship of the natural polyhydrowy aromatic compounds and synthesized a number of new derivetives through various methods. Skin lightening effects of these compounds were examined through inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase and inhibitory of melanogenesis on B-16 melanoma cells. These new compounds showed strong inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. Good lightening effects sue to inhibition of melanogenesis were observed from several resorcinol and pyrogallol derivatives. In toxicological tests such as skin primary irritation and sensitization, the above compounds were sufficiently safe for cosmetic use.

In our previous study, ethylacetate fraction of white ginseng (root of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) extract inhibited mushroom tyrosinase activity and melanin production in melanocytes. This study examined its effects on the expression of melanin biosynthesis-related enzymes to explore the depigmenting pathway. Moreover, depigmenting effect on animal skin was examined using UV-B induced hyperpigmented skin of brown guinea pigs. The ethylacetate fraction of the white ginseng extract exhibited depigmenting activity in the skin of brown guinea pig without visible edema. In addition, this fraction reduced tyrosinase expression in melanocytes. The results suggested that ethylacetate fraction of white ginseng extract might be used as skin depigmenting material by inhibition of tyrosinase activity and expression.

This study was performed to determine the antimelanogenic effect and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of anthocyanin rich fraction (AN-SLP) from Liriope platyphylla Wang et Tang seeds. Anthocyanins isolated from L. platyphylla seeds revealed the presence of four major anthocyanin components, which were tentatively identified as delphinidin-3-Oglucoside, delphinidin-3-O-rutinoside, petunidin-3-O-rutinoside, and malvidin-3-O-rutinoside using semipreparative HPLC, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, FAB-MS and LC/ES-MS. The inhibitory effect of AN-SLP on tyrosinase activity was studied using in vitro (against mushroom tyrosinase) and ex vivo (against B16 melanoma cell tyrosinase) models. Cellular tyrosinase activity was decreased by AN-SLP treatment in B 16 melanoma cells through dose dependent manner, but AN-SLP did not inhibit mushroom tyrosinase and L-DOPA oxidation directly. AN-SLP showed melanin inhibition by 53.2% at 50 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ which was 0.7 times more efficient than the antimelanogenic effect of commercial arbutin and kojic acid (36.5%) also did not show cell toxicity. Additionally, AN-SLP inhibited the activity of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and the glycosylation of tyrosinase in melanoma cell. The resulting unsaturated glycosylation of tyrosinase makes it unstable and disturb correct transportation. From theses results, we conclude that AN-SLP could be used as anti-melanogenic agent for skin whitening.

Tyrosinase inhibitory activities of 14 kinds of seaweed, Ecklonia stolonifera, Ecklonia cava, Undaria pinnatiflda, Laminaria japonica, Sargassum fulvellum, Sargassum miyabei, Sargassum thunbergii, Porphyra yezoensis, Gracilaria verrucosa, Carpopeltis affinis, Pachymeniopsis elliptica, Gelidium amansii, Codium fragile and Ulva pertusa were determined using commercially available mushroom tyrosinase in an in vitro assay system. The $1\%$ (w/v) methanol extract from E. stolonifera showed the highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity of $79.0\%$, electron donating activity of $79.0\%$ and total phenol content of 3.75 mg/100g. Ethyl acetate-methanol-water (7 : 2 : 0.2, v/v) fraction $(0.5\%,\;w/v)$ isolated from the methanol extract showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity of $75.9 \%$, electron donating activity of $88.1 \%$ and total phenol content of 4.38 mg/100g. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was closely associated with total phenol content (R = 0.99) and electron donating activity (R=0.99). Maximum absorption wavelength of the fraction was 218nm and that of phenolic compounds showed about a range from 210 to 220nm. The inhibition mode of the fraction was noncompetitive inhibition.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-melanogenic effects of the extracts from Decaschistia intermedia craib (EDI). In this study, we examined the effects of EDI on mushroom tyrosinase activity in in vitro, melanin contents, and expression levels of mRNA and proteins of melanogenesis-related genes in B16F10 melanoma cells. The treatment of EDI significantly decreased both tyrosinase activity and melanin contents in B16F10 cells with dose-dependent manner. In addition, we found that the expression of mRNA or proteins of melanogenic proteins, such as, a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH)-induced microphthalmia associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), and TRP-2 was significantly downregulated with dose-dependent manner in the EDI-treated B16F10 cells compared to controls. Our results suggest that the EDI inhibits cellular melanogenesis through downregulation of a-MSH-stimulated melanin synthesis. Thus EDI may potentially be an effective whitening agent.

본 연구에서는 포도 가공 부산물인 포도씨를 이용하여 피부노화 및 색소침착에 관련된 tyrosinase 저해활성을 알아보고자 하였으며 폴리페놀 화합물과 총항산화력과의 상관관계를 비교·분석하고자 하였다. 포도씨 80% 메탄올 추출물은 hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, water 층의 순서로 분획 되었다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 각 분획물보다 crude한 형태인 methanol 추출물의 효과가 더 높았으며 분획물 중 ethyl acetate 층이 가장 높은 tyrosinase 저해활성을 나타내었고 추출물과 분획물 모두 농도 의존적인 경향을 나타내었다. 포도씨 분획물 중 ethyl acetate층이 polyphenol과 flavonoid 함량이 가장 높았고 ABTS 라디칼 소거능 또한 가장 높은 결과를 나타내었으며 water 분획층도 비교적 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과 tyrosinase 활성과 항산화 성분,항산화 활성 경향이 일치하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며 포도씨는 미백, 항노화 효과로 화장품 산업에서 천연 물질로 잠재적인 기능성을 가지고 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The whitening effect, tyrosinase inhibition, and cytotoxicity of neoagarotetraose were measured after its purification from hydrolyzed agar by gel filtration chromatography. In melanoma B16F10 cells, the melanin content of neoagarotetraose-treated cells was the same as that treated by kojic acid or arbutin. In addition, tyrosinase of melanoma cells was strongly inhibited by neoagarotetraose at a concentration of $1{\mu}g/ml$ and similarly inhibited at 10 and $100{\mu}g/ml$ compared with those by arbutin or kojic acid. The activity of mushroom tyrosinase showed a 38% inhibition by neoagarotetraose at $1{\mu}g/ml$, and this inhibitory effect was more efficient than that by kojic acid. Neoagarotetraose revealed a similar $IC_{50}$ (50% inhibition concentration) value for mushroom tyrosinase as that by kojic acid. These data suggest that the neoagarotetraose generated from agar by recombinant $\beta$-agarase might be a good candidate as a cosmetic additive for the whitening effect.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro inhibitory effects of Fucofuroeckol-A isolated from Eisenia bicyclis against tyrosinase activity and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-induced melanin biosynthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Result: Among the ethanolic (EtOH) extract of E. bicyclis and its organic solvent fractions, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction showed a noticeable inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase with an $IC_{50}$ value of $37.6{\pm}0.1{\mu}g/mL$. Repeated column chromatography of the active EtOAc fraction resulted in the isolation of Fucofuroeckol-A. It evidenced more potent tyrosinase inhibitory effect with an $IC_{50}$ value of $11.4{\pm}1.4{\mu}M$ than arbutin ($IC_{50}=1076.6{\pm}44.3{\mu}M$), which was used as a positive control. Lineweaver-Burk plots suggest that Fucofuroeckol-A plays as a noncompetitive inhibitor against tyrosinase. Furthermore, we have evaluated the inhibitory effects of Fucofuroeckol-A on IBMX-induced melanin formation in B16F10 melanoma cells. Fucofuroeckol-A ($12.5-100{\mu}M$) exhibited a significant inhibition of melanin production in the melanoma cells. Conclusion: In the present study, we suggested that Fucofuroeckol-A might prove possibility as a novel inhibitor of melanin biosynthesis in cosmetic applications.

본 연구는 이팝나무 잎의 용매분획물을 이용하여 DPPH 소거 작용, 환원력과 같은 항산화 활성과 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 실험한 결과 에틸 아세테이트 분획물에서 높은 항산화 및 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 silica gel column chromatography와 MPLC를 이용하여 그 활성물질을 분리하였으며, 분리한 화합물은 $^1H$, $^{13}C$-NMR 및 2DNMR을 이용하여 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside로 구조동정을 하였다. 분리한 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside와 기존 항산화제와의 비교실험에서 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성과 환원력은 시료의 농도가 증가함에 따라 활성이 증가하였다. 순수하게 분리한 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside를 이용하여 tyrosinase 저해 활성도 농도 의존적이었으며, $IC_{50}$ 값은 23.2 ${\mu}g/mL$로 나타났다. 그러므로 luteolin-4'-O-glucoside는 식품첨가물로 항산화제로서의 활용도 및 미백효과를 지니는 기능성 화장품원료로서 이용가치가 높을 것으로 생각된다.
