Abstract

In this study, we investigated whitening and anti-inflammatory constituents from a watermelon (Citrullus lanatus, C. lanatus) vines (leaves and stems). As anti-melanogenesis and anti-inflammatory activities were screened for the ethanol extract and solvent fractions, n-hexane (n-Hex) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fractions showed the most potent activities. Three constituents were isolated from the n-Hex and EtOAc fractions of C. lanatus; ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid (1), sigmast-7-en-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2), 1-feruloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyrinoside (3). The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated based on the spectroscopic data including $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra, as well as comparison of the data to the literature values. Whitening and anti-inflammatory effects were studied for the isolated compounds. Upon the anti-melanogenesis tests using ${\alpha}-MSH$ stimulated B16F10 melanoma cells, the compounds 1 and 3 inhibited the cellular melanogenesis and intracellular tyrosinase activities effectively. For the anti-inflammation tests using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, the isolates 1 and 3 were determined to decrease the production of nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6). Based on these results, C. lanatus vines extract could be potentially applicable as whitening and anti-inflammatory ingredients in cosmetic formulations.

본 연구에서는 수박 덩굴(잎 및 줄기) 추출물 및 용매 분획물의 미백 및 항염 활성을 검색하고 유효성분을 분리하여 화학구조를 규명하였다. 수박 덩굴 에탄올 추출물 및 용매 분획물의 멜라닌 생성 억제활성을 측정한 결과, 헥산 및 에틸아세테이트 분획물에서 우수한 멜라닌 생성 억제 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 항염 활성측정 결과, 헥산 및 에틸아세테이트 분획물에서 활성이 나타남을 확인하였다. 헥산 및 에틸아세테이트 분획물에서 유효성분을 찾고자 칼럼 크로마토그라피를 실시하여 3개의 화합물을 분리하였으며 $^1H$ 및 $^{13}C$ NMR 데이터 분석 및 문헌치 비교를 통하여 화학구조를 동정하였다; ${\alpha}-linolenic$ acid (1), sigmast-7-en-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2), 1-feruloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3). 분리된 화합물에 대한 미백 활성 실험 결과, 화합물 1과 3에서 멜라닌 생성 및 세포 내 티로시나제 효소의 활성을 감소시키고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 항염 활성 실험 결과 화합물 1과 3이 nitric oxide (NO) 및 전염증성 사이토카인($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6)의 생성을 억제시킴을 확인하였다. 이상의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 수박 덩굴 추출물을 이용한 천연 미백 및 항염 소재로의 개발이 가능할 것이라 사료된다.
