본 연구에서는 주박의 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 분획물에 따 른 항산화 활성평가와 인간섬유아세포인 CCD-986sk 세포에서의 주름효능 평가를 진행하였다. ABTS+ radical 소거능 측정을 통해 항산화 활성을 확인한 결과, 주박 Ethyl Acetate 분획물 1,000 μg/ml 농도 에서 75.5%로 나타나 분획 용매 중 가장 높은 항산화 활성을 보였다. Elastase, Collagenase 저해 활성 측정을 통해 주름 개선 효과를 확인하였으며, 두 실험 결과 모두 주박 Ethyl Acetate 분획물이 1,000 μ g/ml 농도에서 가장 높은 효능을 나타내었다. UVB로 유도된 CCD-986sk 세포 내 pro-collagen type I 의 합성율을 측정한 결과 주박은 동일농도에서 20 μg/ml에서 Ethyl Acetate, Water, Acetonitrile, Hexan 분획물 순으로 높은 효능을 보였다. 콜라겐 분해효소인 MMP-1의 저해률을 측정한 결과 4가지 용매 분획몰은 20 μg/ml에서 모두 70% 이상의 효능을 나타내었다. Real time PCR 실험에서 pro-collagen type I, MMP-1 및 MMP-3의 mRNA 발현량을 측정한 결과 UVB 단독군 대비 Jubak 추출물을 함께 처리했을 때 pro-collagen type I의 단백질 발현량이 증가되었고, MMP-1과 MMP-3의 mRNA 발현량은 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며 대조군(EGCG) 다음으로 Ethyl Acetate 추출물이 주름 개선에 가장 효능이 우수하였다. 이상의 결과로 주박의 용매 분획물 중 Ethyl Acetate 분획물은 UVB 자극에 의한 광노화에 대한 항주름 효과가 있음을 확인하여 화장품의 천연물 소재로서의 이용이 기대된 다.
In this study, in order to evaluate the possibility of using Jubak as a functional cosmetic material, evaluation of antioxidant activity according to fractions and anti-wrinkle efficacy in CCD-986sk cells, a human fibroblast, were conducted. As a result of confirming the antioxidant activity by measuring ABTS+ radical scavenging ability, Jubak's Ethyl Acetate fractions was found to be 75.5% at a concentration of 1,000 μg/ml, showing the highest antioxidant activity among the extraction solvents. The wrinkle improvement effect was confirmed by measuring the inhibitory activity of elastase and collagenase, and in both test results, Jubak's Ethyl Acetate fractions showed the highest efficacy at a concentration of 1,000 μg/ml. As a result of measuring the synthesis rate of pro-collagen type I in CCD-986sk cells induced by UVB, Jubak showed the highest efficacy in the order of Ethyl Acetate, Water, Acetonitrile, and Hexan fractions at the same concentration of 20 μ g/ml. As a result of measuring the inhibition rate of MMP-1, a collagen degrading enzyme, all four solvent fractions showed an efficacy of more than 70% at 20 μg/ml. As a result of measuring the mRNA expression levels of pro-collagen type I, MMP-1, and MMP-3 in a real-time PCR experiment, the protein expression level of pro-collagen type I increased when treated with Jubak fractions compared to the UVB group alone. The mRNA expression levels of MMP-1 and MMP-3 were confirmed to be decreased, and Ethyl Acetate fractions was the most effective in improving wrinkles after the control group (EGCG). As a result, it was confirmed that the Ethyl Acetate fractions among Jubak's solvent fractions has an anti-wrinkle effect against photoaging caused by UVB stimulation, and is expected to be used as a natural material for cosmetics.
