Abstract

Cosmetics are products used over long periods by the public, and their safety is very important. Contact dermatitis induced by cosmetics is the result of an inflammatory response of the skin to direct irritancy. The initial event that this inflammatory response is observed is the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this study, the anti-inflammatory activities of extracts from Korean herb medicines were investigated using RAW264.7 macrophage. Among the fifty one extracts tested, the ethanol extracts from Biotae Orientalis Folium, Biotae Orientalis Folium (roasted), Cyperi Rhizoma, Nepetae Spica, Benincasae Semen, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma (roasted), Mori Ramulus, Pini Ramulus and Alismatis Rhizoma reduced the cytotoxicity and inhibited the productions of Nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1${\beta}$, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$n lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophage. Additionally, they didn't induce the skin irritation when tested the human patch test. Overall, the result of this study suggests that the extracts of the ten Korean herb medicines are useful cosmetic agents for preventing the skin irritation.

화장품은 일반인이 장기간 연용하는 제품으로 인체 피부에 대한 안전성이 매우 중요하다. 화장품에 의한 접촉피부염은 자극성 물질이 피부에 접촉 후 침투하여 유발하는 염증반응으로 활성화된 면역세포에서 염증을 매개하는 다양한 인자를 분비함으로써 시작된다. 본 연구에서는 국산 생약 추출물을 이용하여 RAW264.7 대식 세포에서 염증 관련 인자에 대한 영향을 통해 항염증 활성을 스크리닝 하였다. 51종의 국산 생약 추출물 중 측백, 측백엽(초), 향부자, 형개, 동과자, 산약, 산약(초), 상지, 송절, 택사의 에탄올 추출물 10종이 lipopolysaccharide(LPS)에 의해 유도된 세포독성을 감소시킴과 동시에 염증 관련 인자인 Nitric oxide (NO), interleukin (IL)-1${\beta}$, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$의 생성을 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 이들 생약 추출물은 인체피부에서도 자극을 유발하지 않음을 인체 첩포시험을 통해 검증하였다. 따라서, 항염증 활성이 확인된 10종 국산 생약 추출물은 피부 자극을 예방할 수 있는 화장품 소재로서의 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
