층꽃나무(Caryopteris incana Miq.) 추출물의 생리활성

본 연구에서 층꽃나무(Caryopteris incana Miq.)는 항산화, 피부미백 및 주름개선 활성을 측정하는 데에 사용되었다. 층꽃나무의 생리활성은 고형분 함량보다 첨가된 total phenolic compounds의 농도에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되어 이후 모든 실험은 층꽃나무로부터 추출한 물과 80 % ethanol 추출물의 total phenolic compounds 함량을 조절하여 실시하였다. 층꽃나무 추출물의 항산화 활성은 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), antioxidant protection factor (PF), Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs)를 측정하였다. 200 μg/mL의 농도에서 물과 ethanol 추출물로 DPPH free radical 소거능을 측정한 결과 각각 84, 92 %의 활성을 나타내었고, ABTS radical 소거능은 물과 ethanol 추출물 둘 다 약 99%의 활성을 나타내었다. PF를 측정한 결과 물과 ethanol 추출물이 각각 1.56, 1.67 PF 값을 나타내었고, TBARs는 각각 62, 82 %의 활성을 나타내었다. 주름개선 및 피부미백 활성을 측정하였을 때, 200 μg/mL의 농도에서 80% ethanol 추출물이 물 추출물보다 눈에 띄게 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 주름개선과 연관된 elastase와 collagenase 저해활성은 ethanol 추출물에서 각각 58, 89 %로 측정되었다. 피부미백과 연관된 tyrosinase의 저해활성은 ethanol 추출물에서 13 %로 측정되었고, 수렴효과는 50 %로 측정되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아, 층꽃나무 추출물은 항산화 활성, 주름개선 및 미백효과가 우수하므로 기능성 화장품 원료의 새로운 자원이 될 것으로 기대되었다. In this study, extracts from Caryopteris incana Miq. (C. incana) were investigated to assess anti-oxidation, skin-whitening and anti-wrinkle activity. The total phenolic compounds of C. incana extracts with water and 80 % ethanol showed 7.69 and 12.50 mg/g respectively. Antioxidation activity of C. incana extracts was measured by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), protection factor (PF), and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs). At concentration of 200 μg/mL, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity of water and ethanol extracts were 84 and 92 %, respectively. ABTS radical scavenging activity of water and ethanol extracts were both at approximately 99 %. Antioxidant PF of water and ethanol extracts were 1.56 PF and 1.67 PF, respectively. The TBARs of water and ethanol extracts were 62 and 82 %, respectively. In anti-wrinkle and skin-whitening activity, 80 % ethanol extract had more outstanding effect than water extract at concentration of 200 μg/mL. The levels of elastase and collagenase inhibitory activity related with anti-wrinkle were 58 and 89 % in ethanol extract. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity related with skin-whitening was 13 % in ethanol extract. The astringent effect of ethanol extract was 50%. Throughout the results, C. incana extracts showed an excellent effect on anti-oxidation, skin-whitening and anti-wrinkle activity. Therefore, C. incana extracts can be used as a new material for cosmetics.
