Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a scavenger for active oxygen which has excellent active oxygen- scavenging action and is useful for cosmetics or food both effective in amelioration of the rough dry skin, prophylaxis of aging such as wrinkle formation and prevention of damage of the hair/scalp by including a specific plant extract. SOLUTION: This scavenger comprises (A) yucca extract, and preferably additionally (B) at least one kind selected from the group consisting of scutellaria root extract and peppermint extract as well. The formulation weight ratio of the component A to the component B is preferably (1/9) to (9/1), especially preferably (3/7) to (8/2). Both the subterranean part and the aboveground part of a yucca can be used as an extraction raw material for the component A. Any parts of flower, branch, stem, root, the entirety of plants as raw materials may be used as the component B. Both the components A and B can be obtained by crushing each of the raw materials into a properly adequate size and then extraction-treating the crushed product with water, a hydrophilic organic solvent or these mixture. The weight quantity consumed of the extraction solvent suitably is around 3 to 10 times as much as extraction raw materials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an active oxygen scavenger, and to cosmetics and foods containing the active oxygen scavenger.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Excessive active oxygen causes various tissue disorders in vivo. As the effect of active oxygen on living organisms,
It causes diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, cataract, spots, freckles, wrinkles, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and stiff shoulders. In particular, the skin is an organ that easily generates active oxygen because it is directly stimulated by environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, and the active oxygen concentration is easily increased and lipid peroxide is easily generated. Active oxygen generated in the skin by ultraviolet irradiation is known to promote skin diseases, inflammation, aging, or pigmentation, and the factors are lipids, proteins, enzymes,
It is said that cells and tissues are damaged by active oxygen acting on DNA and the like. When ultraviolet light is applied to the skin or the hair, lipids such as sebum on the surface thereof are oxidized by active oxygen to generate harmful lipid peroxides. Such lipid peroxide is also generated in epidermal cells, and impairs the function of the cells and the original functions of the skin. The generation of wrinkles and tarmi, which are photoaging phenomena caused by ultraviolet rays, is caused by these harmful substances denaturing collagen and elastin in the dermis, and active oxygen also damages DNA of skin cells. On the other hand, in the head hair, damage to the hair skin through ultraviolet rays or active oxygen occurs, thereby promoting the generation of split ends and cut hairs, and reducing the firmness and stiffness.

[0003] The mechanism of defense of a living body against damage by active oxygen largely depends on an active oxygen scavenging enzyme represented by superoxide dismutase (SOD).
These enzymes have the effect of decomposing active oxygen into water and oxygen. In addition, tocopherol (vitamin E) in blood also has an effect of suppressing damage due to active oxygen, and this is due to the antioxidant action (reducing action) of tocopherol. Against this background, components having an active oxygen scavenging effect include S
Those exhibiting an OD-like action and an antioxidant action are used.
At present, many compounds and natural products exhibiting an active oxygen scavenging action are known, and among them, use of plant extracts is increasing in consideration of safety and environment. However, the active oxygen scavenging action of these plant extracts is relatively weak, and sufficient effects have not yet been obtained when aimed at improving skin roughness, preventing aging such as wrinkle formation, or preventing damage to hair and scalp. Absent.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an active oxygen scavenger having excellent active oxygen scavenging action. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic composition containing the active oxygen scavenger, which is useful for improving skin roughness, preventing aging such as wrinkle formation, or preventing damage to the hair and scalp. It is to provide a food in which is blended.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, have found an excellent active oxygen scavenging effect on Yucca extract. By using at least one member selected from the group consisting of mint extract,
The inventors have found that an excellent active oxygen scavenging effect is exhibited, and have completed the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention relates to an active oxygen scavenger containing a Yucca extract, and also relates to an active oxygen scavenger containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of an Ogre extract and a mint extract and a Yucca extract. The present invention further relates to cosmetics and foods containing the active oxygen scavenger.

Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Test Examples and Examples. The present invention is not limited by these. -Active oxygen scavenging effect-The measurement of active oxygen by the chemiluminescence method used in this test is based on the use of a substance that emits light by an oxidation reaction (a luminescent reagent such as Cypridina luciferin derivative). You can ask. Since the luminescent reagent reacts quantitatively with various reactive oxygen species, it is suitable for examining the elimination effect on reactive oxygen. Superoxide radical scavenging effect: SOD-like effect Hanks containing calcium ions in 96-well microplate
116.4 μl of a solution (purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was dispensed, 20 μl of an optionally prepared test solution was added, and 5 μl of 20 μM Cypridina luciferin derivative (purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and 1 mM hypoxanthine 8.6 μl (purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added. 37
After placing at 2 ° C. for 2 minutes, 50 μl of 1 mU / ml xanthine oxidase (purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added, and the total luminescence generated per minute was measured using a chemiluminescence detector.

First, for each sample shown in Table 1, the relation between the concentration and the active oxygen suppression rate (%) was examined. For preparing a test solution in which each sample was diluted to an arbitrary concentration, a diluting solvent (ultrapure water, ethanol, 1,3-butylene glycol, or a mixed solution thereof) suitable for each sample was appropriately used. Table 1 summarizes each sample and the dilution solvent used for preparing the test solution. In this case, the suppression rate (%) was calculated from the total luminescence (A) when no test liquid was added and the total luminescence (B) when each test liquid was added, as shown in the following formula. Inhibition rate (%) = [1− (B) / (A)] × 100 In the obtained results, an increase in the concentration-dependent inhibition rate was observed in each sample. Up to 75%, a proportional relationship (r> 0.95) was observed between the sample concentration and the inhibition rate.

Next, within the range in which the sample concentration and the suppression ratio are in a proportional relationship, the suppression ratios of each sample alone and the combination thereof were determined. Table 2 shows the combinations when used together. Specifically, from the obtained proportional equation, the suppression rate is about 25%.
Determine the sample concentration (IC ₂₅₎ serving as the total amount of light emission of each sample in the IC ₂₅ was determined to calculate the inhibition rate in the case of a sample alone. Table 3 shows the suppression ratio for each sample. On the other hand, when used in combination samples were mixed together individual sample concentration above the IC _25, was calculated similarly inhibition rate this mixture as a test solution. In this test, the inhibition rate of each sample in IC ₂₅ was compared with the theoretical inhibition rate (theoretical value),
The suppression rate (actually measured values in Table 4) when used together was 10%.
% Or more, it was judged to have an excellent SOD-like action.
