Abstract

Juglans mandshurica belongs to the family Juglandaceae is known to contain a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-cancer, anti-inflammation, astringent, and anti-human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1). Melanogenesis refers to the biosynthesis of melanin pigment in melanocytes. In this study, to investigate the whitening activity of the extracts from Juglans mandshurica, we measured effects on a tyrosinase activity, a melanogenesis, and a tyrosinase synthesis in the B16/BL6 melanoma cells and an antioxidant activity. The extracts significantly scavenged a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and a superoxide anion radicals in a dose-dependent manner with a $SC_{50}$ value of $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $25\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Also, the tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis were significantly inhibited by the extracts. Furthermore, the synthesis of tyrosinase protein was significantly decreased by the extracts in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Double blind study on the clinical efficacy of a cream containing 2% of the extracts showed that the extracts have a significant skin whitening effect. Therefore, this study demonstrates that the extracts from Juglans mandshurica may be useful as a potential agent for skin whitening.

본 연구에서는 가래나무 추출물의 항산화 효과와 티로시나제 활성 저해, 멜라닌 생성 및 티로시나제 합성 억제효과를 측정하고 이 추출물을 함유하는 제품의 임상시험을 실시하여 미백 화장품 소재로서의 개발 가능성을 관찰하였다. 가래나무 추출물은 농도 의존적으로 DPPH radical과 초산소 음이온 라디칼을 소거하였고, $SC_{50}$값은 각각 $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ 및 $25\;{\mu}g/mL$ 이었다. B16/BL6 멜라노마 세포를 이용하여 세포내 티로시나제 활성, 멜라닌 생성 및 티로시나제 합성 억제 효과를 측정한 결과 농도 의존적으로 티로시나제의 활성 및 멜라닌 생성을 억제하였으며, 티로시나제 단백질의 합성도 감소시켰다. 또한, 임상시험을 통하여 가래나무 추출물을 함유한 화장품이 대조 제품에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 피부 미백 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 가래나무 추출물은 색소침착 방지와 개선에 효과있는 새로운 미백 원료로 개발할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
