Abstract
Objectives : Salicorna herbacea is not well known in research except hat it contains plenty of minerals. This is the first report that showed bioactive functions of the extract from Salicornia herbacea, and examined the possibility to develop as 2a new cosmetic materials. Methods : Hot Water Extract(W.E), Ethanol Extract(E.E) and Crude Extract(C.E) were used as samples. Using Sephadex LH-20, Hot Water extract fractions and Ethanol extract fractions were gained that used for the experiments. Results : In searching for antibacterial activity, the halos for Propionibacterium acnes which are causal bacteria for pimples was identified in 5,000 ppm and 10,000 ppm. In fraction 1 of E.E, it showed 68% Electron Donating Ability(EDA), 61% of tyrosinase inhibiton effect and 50% of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Ⅰ (AEC) inhibition effect in 10,000 ppm, respectively. In the measurement of astringent effect, W.E of Salicornia herbacea revealed 50% of astringent effect in 10,000 ppm. In the experiment of growth inhibiting ability for human melanoma SK-MEL-5, 5,000 ppm W.E showed over 60% of growth inhibiting ability. Conclusion : It was identified EDA, tyrosinase, astringent could be used for cosmetic materials, and melanoma growth inhibiting ability for the skin and ACE hindrance effect for medical materials.
