Abstract

Rodgersia podophylla was a native medicinal plant cultivated in Korea. During the search for a new whitening natural herb, we found that underground part of Rodgersia podophylla showed inhibitory activity against melanin biosynthesis in melan-a cells by brocking tyrosinase activity. In addition, this plant exhibited protective effect on UV-B region. These results suggest that underground part of Rodgersia podophylla might be used as whitening agent for the skin.

도깨비 뿌리 추출물의 멜라닌 생성 억제효과를 검증하기 위하여 melan-a 세포주에서의 세포독성 및 멜라닌 생성량을 측정하고 멜라닌 생합성에 관여하는 주된 효소인 tyrosinase의 활성에 미치는 영향과 자외선에 대한 흡수도를 검색하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 도깨비 뿌리 추출물을 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도로 melan-a 세포에 처리시 뚜렷한 독성 없이 멜라닌 생성을 24.6% 감소시켰으며 melan-a 세포로부터 추출된 tyrosinase 활성억제 효과실험에서 농도 의존적인 활성억제 효과를 보였다. 또한 도깨비 뿌리추출물은 일광화상의 원인인 UV-B 영역의 자외선을 흡수하였다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 볼 때 도깨비 부채 뿌리 추출물은 피부 미백 및 자외선 차단을 목적으로 하는 기능성 원료로써의 높은 활용 가능성을 가지는 것으로 판단된다.
