Description

Anti-aging agent, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent, whitening agent, and cosmetic
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an anti-aging agent, an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory agent, and a whitening agent each containing a fermentation broth obtained by fermenting a plant with aspergillus as an active ingredient, and a cosmetic containing at least one of the anti-aging agent, the antioxidant, the anti-inflammatory agent, and the whitening agent.
Background
In recent years, active oxygen has been attracting attention as a main cause of oxidation of biological components, and adverse effects on living things have been a problem. Active oxygen is produced during energy metabolism in biological cells, and there are superoxide [ i.e., superoxide anion (O 2 -) produced by single electron reduction of oxygen molecules, hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2), singlet oxygen (1O2), hydroxyl radical (OH) ] and the like. This active oxygen is essential for the bactericidal mechanism of phagocytes and plays an important role in the clearance of viruses or cancer cells.
However, the excessive production of active oxygen attacks in vivo molecules constituting membranes and tissues in vivo, and induces various diseases. Superoxide, which is produced in the organism and becomes the starting material for other reactive oxygen species, is typically gradually cleared by the catalytic action of the superoxide dismutase (SOD, super Oxide Dismutase) contained within the cell. However, when superoxide is excessively produced or the effect of SOD is reduced, the removal of superoxide is insufficient, resulting in an increase in the concentration of superoxide. The above-mentioned cases are considered to be one of the causes of tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Behcet's disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral apoplexy, cataract, chloasma, freckle, wrinkle, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, shoulder acid, cold feeling constitution, skin aging and the like.
Among these disadvantages, the skin is an organ that is prone to superoxide generation because it is directly stimulated by environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, and thus, there are problems such as the following as the concentration of superoxide increases: the degradation, modification, or crosslinking of biological tissues such as collagen, and the oxidation of oils and fats to form peroxidized lipids which cause damage to cells, form skin wrinkles, and cause aging, inflammation, and skin pigmentation such as decrease in skin elasticity (see non-patent document 1). Therefore, it is considered that by inhibiting or suppressing the formation of active oxygen or free radicals in living bodies, it is possible to prevent, treat or improve skin aging such as wrinkle formation or reduced elasticity, tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or behcet's disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral apoplexy, cataract, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, shoulder acid, cold feeling and other diseases related to active oxygen.
Therefore, attempts to obtain active oxygen scavenging substances, radical scavenging substances, hydrogen peroxide scavenging substances, and the like from natural substances advantageous in terms of safety have been made to find that extracts of plants of the genus brassica of the family brassicaceae (see patent document 1), extracts of plants of the genus kalanchoe of the family Crassulaceae (see patent document 2), extracts of oroxylum indicum (see patent document 3), extracts of sweet potato vine (see patent document 4), and the like are effective.
In addition, the causes and pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as contact dermatitis (macula), psoriasis, pemphigus vulgaris, and other various skin diseases accompanied by rough skin are various. The reason for this is known to be mainly that hyaluronidase activity is increased.
Hyaluronidase is a hydrolase of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronate, which maintains affinity with body tissues, is decomposed in an aqueous system by ultraviolet rays, oxygen, etc., and thus has a reduced molecular weight and a reduced water-retaining effect. In addition, hyaluronic acid exists in the form of intercellular tissues in living bodies and is also associated with vascular permeability. In addition, hyaluronidase is present in the obese cells, and activation thereof causes degranulation, and thus, release occurs, and functions as an inflammatory chemical mediator. Therefore, by inhibiting the activity of hyaluronidase, it is expected to enhance moisture retention, prevent inflammation, and reduce inflammation.
As a substance having such a hyaluronidase activity inhibitory action, for example, an extract of a plant of the genus golden larch (see patent document 5), an extract of ampelopsis grossedentata (see patent document 6), and the like are known.
In addition, melanin in the skin also plays a role in protecting organisms from ultraviolet rays, but excessive generation or uneven accumulation may cause skin darkening or chloasma generation. In general, melanin is thought to be formed by the action of tyrosinase biosynthesized in pigment cells, from tyrosine to dopa, from dopa to dopaquinone, and then through intermediates such as 5, 6-dihydroxyindophenol. Therefore, it is considered that in order to prevent, treat or improve skin darkening (skin pigmentation disease), chloasma, freckle, etc., it is necessary to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase associated with melanin production or inhibit melanin production.
Conventionally, in order to prevent, treat or improve skin pigmentation, chloasma, freckle, etc., external use of a whitening agent containing a chemically synthesized product such as hydroquinone as an active ingredient has been adopted. However, there is concern that chemical synthetic products such as hydroquinone may cause side effects such as skin irritation and allergy.
Accordingly, it has been desired to develop a whitening agent containing a natural raw material with high safety as an active ingredient, and as a substance having an inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity, for example, ampelopsis grossedentata extract (see patent document 7), polygonum hydropiper extract (see patent document 8) and the like are known. Further, as substances having a melanin production inhibiting effect, for example, an extract from the root of castor (see patent document 9), an extract from a plant belonging to the genus Saussurea (Saussurea) (see patent document 10), and the like are known.
The epidermis and dermis of the skin are composed of epidermal cells, fibroblasts, and extracellular matrices such as collagen, which are located outside these cells to support the skin structure. In young skin, the interaction of these skin tissues is kept constant, whereby water retention, softness, elasticity and the like are ensured, and the skin is also firm and shiny from the external point of view, and a moist state is maintained.
However, if the skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV-A, UV-B) light, extremely dry air, excessive skin cleansing, or the like, or the age is increased, the amount of collagen, which is a main component of the extracellular matrix, decreases, and the elastic force decreases due to crosslinking. As a result, the skin has a reduced moisturizing function and elasticity, and the keratin starts to be abnormally peeled off, so that the skin is subject to aging symptoms such as sagging, loss of luster, roughness, wrinkles, and the like.
The changes with aging of the skin, namely wrinkles, darkness, loss of texture, and reduction of elasticity, are various factors, and are related to reduction and modification of extracellular matrix components such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. Therefore, it is considered that by promoting the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, or the like, the aging of the skin can be prevented and improved.
Therefore, from the viewpoint of safety, the industry has attempted to obtain a substance having a collagen production promoting effect from an advantageous natural substance. As a substance having a collagen production promoting effect, for example, a carambola leaf extract (see patent document 11), a cranberry leaf extract (see patent document 12), and the like have been found.
The following are also reported: amino acids as the main component of natural moisturizing factors (Natural Moisturizing Factors) are produced by the breakdown of silk fibroin from transparent keratinous particles within the stratum corneum. The silk fibroin is expressed as silk fibrinogen in epidermal keratinocytes present in the granular layer directly below the stratum corneum. Immediately after that, the particles are phosphorylated and deposited on transparent keratin particles, and after being decomposed into silk fibroin by phosphate removal and hydrolysis, the silk fibroin is transferred to the stratum corneum, whereby the aggregation efficiency of keratin fibers is improved, and the particles participate in the internal construction of keratinocytes (see non-patent document 2).
In recent years, it has been reported that this silk fibroin is very important for moisture retention in skin, and that conditions such as drying reduce the synthesis force of silk fibroin, resulting in a decrease in the amount of amino acids in the stratum corneum (see non-patent document 3).
Therefore, it is expected that the synthesis of silk fibroin can be promoted by promoting the expression of silk fibroin mRNA in epidermal keratinocytes, thereby increasing the amount of amino acids in the stratum corneum and fundamentally improving the moisture environment of the stratum corneum.
As a natural-substance-derived silk fibroin synthesis promoter, for example, licorice extract (see patent document 13) and glycyrrhizin known as a flavonoid glycoside contained in a natural plant (see patent document 14) have been proposed, and as at least one of a natural-substance-derived silk fibroin and a silk fibroin protein production promoter, a plant extract belonging to the genus Citrus (Citrus), yeast extract (see patent document 15) or the like has been proposed.
The epidermis continuously forms new keratinocytes through division and subsequent differentiation of keratinocytes, thereby having a defensive function of protecting the skin from various stimuli from the outside. In particular, in the differentiation process of keratinocytes, proteins such as outer membrane proteins are expressed from the spiny layer to the granular layer, and are crosslinked by glutamine transaminase-1 to form a keratinized envelope (hereinafter, abbreviated as "CE") which is an insoluble cell membrane-like structure coating keratinocytes, thereby contributing to the stabilization of the cytoskeleton and structure of keratinocytes.
However, if the production amount of glutamine transaminase-1 in the epidermis is reduced due to various factors, CE formation is not complete and keratinization is not normally performed. As a result, the barrier function of the horny layer and the moisture-retaining function of the skin are lowered, and skin symptoms such as rough skin and dry skin are exhibited.
In view of the above, it is considered that by increasing the production of glutamine transaminase-1 in the epidermis by keratinocytes, promoting CE formation to normalize keratinization, lowering of the skin barrier function due to external stimulation such as dryness or ultraviolet rays can be suppressed, and various skin symptoms such as dryness or roughness of the skin can be prevented and improved.
As a natural substance-derived glutamine transaminase-1 production promoter, noni extract (see patent document 16), royal jelly extract (see patent document 17), and the like have been proposed.
In addition, it is known that aquaporins, which are known as water channels, are expressed on cell membranes in skin cells, and play a role in absorbing low-molecular substances, typified by water in the cell gap, into the cells. It is known that 13 aquaporins (AQP 0 to AQP 12) exist in humans. In epidermal cells, aquaporin 3 (Aquaporin, aqp 3) is mainly present, which is thought to take on the following roles: in addition to water, low molecular compounds such as glycerin and urea are absorbed which are involved in the water retention.
However, AQP3 decreases with age, suggesting that this decrease in AQP3 is one of the causes of decrease in water retention function, and thus it is thought that by promoting expression of AQP3, it is possible to control water retention function, barrier function, and the like, which decrease with age (see non-patent document 4). As a substance having an AQP3 expression promoting effect, for example, an extract from the leaf of carambola (see patent document 18) and the like are known.
Conventionally, it has been considered that only the stratum corneum plays a role in the barrier function of the skin, but if a structural protein of tight junctions (tight junction, hereinafter abbreviated as "TJ") existing in the epidermis particle layer is defective at the gene level, the barrier function of the skin is collapsed, so TJ has been considered to play an important role in the barrier function of the skin in recent years (see non-patent document 5). TJ is a connecting device that not only seals adjacent cells to each other, but also closes the cell-cell gap, thereby controlling permeation of substances. The dense proteins (claudins) and the tight proteins (claudins) constituting the cell membrane proteins of TJ are considered to constitute the skeletons of TJ chains, and control the barrier function of TJ (see non-patent document 6). In view of the above, it is predicted that when the expression of claudin or claudin is reduced for some reason, TJ structure is destroyed and the function as a permeation barrier for substances is lost, and thus it becomes a cause of skin symptoms such as dry skin, rough skin, atopic dermatitis, and various infectious diseases.
Therefore, it is thought that the skin symptoms can be prevented or improved by promoting the production of claudin or claudin in the epidermis to promote the formation of TJ in epidermal keratinocytes, thereby improving the barrier function and the water retention function of the skin. Based on this idea, as a substance that promotes skin barrier function by TJ formation promoting action, coptis chinensis extract (see patent document 19), spruce extract (see patent document 20) and the like derived from natural substances have been proposed.
In addition, in recent years, it has been pointed out that the involvement of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs, matrix metalloproteinases) is a factor that induces changes accompanying skin aging. Among these MMPs, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) is known to be an enzyme that breaks down collagen, which is a main constituent of the dermal extracellular matrix of skin, but its expression is greatly increased by ultraviolet irradiation, and this is considered to be one of the causes of reduction and modification of collagen, and is a factor of skin wrinkles, reduction in elasticity, and the like. Thus, inhibition of MMP-1 activity is important in preventing and ameliorating skin aging symptoms.
As substances having such an MMP-1 inhibitory effect, for example, an extract of acerola (see patent document 21), an extract of zingiberaceae cassanna, or a extract of sanguinea banyan (see patent document 22), and the like are known.
On the other hand, a fermentation broth obtained by fermenting plants of the genus Artemisia with Aspergillus (see patent document 23) or a fermentation broth obtained by fermenting thyme with Aspergillus (see patent document 24) are known, but these plant fermentation broths have no effect such as an anti-aging effect, an antioxidant effect, an anti-inflammatory effect, a whitening effect, or the like.

Mu.L of the resulting solution was added to each well one by one, and cultured for 2.5 hours. After the completion of the culture, the neutral red solution was removed, and 200. Mu.L of an ethanol-acetic acid solution (ethanol: acetic acid: water=50:1:49 (volume ratio)) was added to each well one by one to extract the pigment. After the extraction, absorbance at 540nm was measured.
The absorbance was measured in the same manner as described above, except that the test sample solution was changed to DMEM containing 10% fbs and 1mmol/L theophylline without the test sample as a control.
From the obtained measurement value, the cell survival rate was calculated based on the following formula 13, and the melanin production inhibition rate (%) corrected for the cell survival rate was calculated based on the following formula 14. The results are shown in table 34 below.
< 13 >
Cell viability (%) = (D/C) ×100
In the above formula 13, C and D are respectively represented as follows.
C: absorbance at wavelength 540nm without addition of test sample
D: absorbance at 540nm when the test sample was added
< 14 >
Melanin production inhibition ratio (%) = {1- (B/D)/(a/C) } ×100
In the above formula 14, a to D are each as follows.
A: amount of melanin in the absence of added test sample
B: amount of melanin in the case of the addition of the test sample
C: absorbance at wavelength 540nm without addition of test sample
D: absorbance at 540nm when the test sample was added
