Kirengeshoma koreana Nakai (K. koreana)was Saxifragaceae and rare plants in Korea, which is classified as an Critically Endangered (CR) species in Korea. Therefore, most of the studies on it were ecological and taxonomic, and there are no studies on biological activity. In this study, we evaluated the whitening activity of K. koreana extract (KKE). Melanogenesis Inhibitory effects were demonstrated by western-bot and RT-PCR for the effects of KKE on MITF, tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2 in IBMX-treated B16F10 melanoma cells. IBMX were reported as melanin synthesis enhancers. It could increase intracellular melanin synthesis by activation of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) signaling pathway. KKE showed no cytotoxicity at B16F10. In addition, KKE effectively inhibited the protein and mRNA levels of MITF, tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2. In conclusion, KKE inhibited melanin synthesis by inhibiting the expression of MITF and its downstream pathways tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2. Therefore, it was confirmed that K. koreana is a valuable resource for functional cosmetic and biomaterials.

The inhibitory effect of Atractylodis Rhizoma alba extract(AM) on melanogenesis was studied by using B16/F10 melanoma in culture. Cells were cultured in the presence of various concentrations of AM for 48 hrs, and the experiment of total melanin content as a final product and activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme, in melanogenesis. AM significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity, and melanin content in a dose-dependent manner. These results show that Atractylodes macrocephala extract could be developed as skin whitening components of cosmetics.

Melanogenesis is a physiological process resulting in the synthesis of melanin pigment. We investigated the inhibitory effect of crude polysaccharide of water extract of Artemisia iwayomgi Kitamura (AI) on melanin biosystheies in B16/F10 melanoma cells. Crude polysaccharide of water extract of Artemisia iwayomgi Kitamura significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin contents with or without $\alpha$-MSH in vivo. Melanin contents and tyrosinase activity were decreased in a dose-dependent manner,These results show that crude polysaccharide of water extract of Artemisia iwayomgi Kitamura could be developed as skin whitening components of cosmetics.

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.

Objective : Melanin is one of the most important facor in skin color. Melanin protects human skin from ultraviolet radiation otherwise it causes melanin pigmentation. So this experiment is carried out for test whether Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi(SBG) inhibits melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity in mouse B16 melanoma cells. Method : The melanin synthesis inhibition effects of SBG were examined by in vitro melanin production assay. We assessed inhibitory effects of SBG on melanin contents from B16F1 melanoma cell, on tyrosinase activity(cell and cell free system), effect of SBG on the expression tyrosinase, Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor(MITF), Extracellular signal-regulated Kinase(ERK). Result : SBG inhibited melanin synthesis induced $\alpha$-MSH($\alpha$-Melanin Stimulating Hormone) in B16F1. SBG inhibited tyrosinase activity and expression. And SBG down-regulates MITF and stimulated ERK activation in B16F1. Conclusion : According to above results, SBG was improved its suppression effect to the inhibition of melanin synthesis, tyrosinase activation, and tyrosinase promotor activation. So SBG is considered to be used for an strong source of skin whitening effect.
