Abstract

Derivatives of a novel natural compunds, melanostatin (PLG-$NH_2$) were prepared by solid phase synthesis[1,2] and assayed to evaluate their melanogensis inhibitory activity. Also, a small library (natural compound-XLG-$NH_2$, natural compound-X LG-OH) was prepared with same method for increasing synthetic yield and cost-reduction. PLG-$NH_2$ (Proline-Leucine-Glycine-$NH_2$) was well-known tripeptide as its $\alpha$-MSH release-inhibiting activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity[3-5]. In order to choose best candidate for peptide derivatization, various natural compounds were screened by their tyrosinase inhibitory activity. As a result, caffeic acid and coumaric acid were selected. Most of these derivatives showed better activities than the parent natural compound, melanostatin.

신규 미백 소재 개발을 위하여 tyrosinase의 활성을 억제하는 천연물과, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH)을 저해하는 펩타이드를 결합한 소재를 고체상 합성법으로 제조하였다[1,2]. Tyrosinase 활성 억제 효능이 있는 천연유래물질을 기존 연구를 바탕으로 선정하였으며, 이중에서 상업화 된 물질 17종에 대해 Mushroom Tyrosinase 활성 억제 효과를 측정하여, 그 중 caffeic acid, coumaric acid를 선별하였다. 펩타이드는 $\alpha$-MSH 분비를 억제하며, tyrosinase활성을 억제하는 것으로 알려진 melanostatin을 선정하였으며[3-5], PLG-$NH_2$ (Proline-Leucine-Glycine-$NH_2$) 중에서 유도체화 수율의 저하 원인으로 예상되는 Proline (Pro)의 서열을 다른 아미노산으로 변경하면서 선별된 천연물인 coumaric acid와 caffeic acid에 도입하였다. 또한 최종물질의 원가를 고려하여 acid-amide 형태를 acid형태로 전환한 유도체를 합성하였다. 이들 펩타이드 유도체들에 대해서 B16F1 melanoma cell에서의 멜라닌 생성 억제 효능을 평가하여 유도체화된 물질이 기존의 천연유래물질이나 펩타이드에 비하여 높은 저해효과를 가지는 것을 확인하였다.
