Background technology

All physiological changies of the health that old and feeble expression occurred along with time lapse, and old and feeble situation is different because of individual instances with speed, and be subjected to the influence of multiple reason.Even in body one by one, old and feeblely also show different situations for each organ, therefore the aging research towards individuality has limitation.More specifically, the function of each organ and tissue all changes in time, and this situation is because the change of cell function causes.For example, the damage of cranial nerve cell causes cognitive decline, and the damage of subcutaneous fat cells can cause the loss of skin elasticity, and the loss that the Rhizoma Imperatae melanocyte is produced the melanin ability can cause poliosis, or the like this type of situation.Therefore, the aging of individual cells can cause individual aging.So, all concentrate in the research based on cell recently for the research of aging.After a lot of scientists were devoted to all energy thoroughly to explain aging, aging cutter reason was not really still opened, and this is because aging has multiple aspect and very complicated cause.By phenomenon research some theories about aging have been proposed just.Wherein, oxygen-derived free radicals theory and telomere theory have provided some results.The former thinks that the accumulation oxidative stress (oxidative stress) that is caused by the oxygen-derived free radicals that produces is old and feeble main cause in common metabolic processes, and the latter thinks repeatedly after the cell division, the telomere that is positioned at end of chromosome fades away, thereby causes cell division to stop and final cell death.Other theory also helps perfect explanation is carried out in aging jointly.More accurately, for the oxygen-derived free radicals theory, the oxygen-derived free radicals random disruptions that in common metabolic processes, produces the cell component such as lipid, protein, sugar or DNA, cause the oxidative stress of cell or tissue, not only can cause thus various such as cancer disease, the cardiovascular disease such as cerebral hemorrhage and arteriosclerosis, the chronic inflammatory disease such as rheumatism, autoimmune disease, etc. (Halliwell, B and Gutteridge, J.M.C, Biochem.J., 1984,219,1-14; Freeman, B.A. and Grapo, J.D., Lab Invest, 1982,47,412-426; Ames, B.N., Science, 1983,221,1256-1264; Fridovich, I., Arch.Biochem.Biophys., 1986,247,1-11; Vishwanath, M.S., Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 1995,10,19-25), and because this oxidative damage is accumulated the old and feeble extremely death of meeting for a long time.Harman had proposed oxygen-derived free radicals theory (Harman, D., Free radical theory of aging about aging first in 1956, Alan R Liss, New York, 1986,3-49), from that time, a lot of experiments have all obtained the result that supports that this is theoretical.For instance, by control basal metabolic rate (BMR), promptly oxygen consumption, by erstricted diet or can life-saving (Medvedev, Z.A., Biol.Rev., 1990,65,375-398 by constrained motion; Loe, J., Northrop, J.H., J.Biol.Chem., 1971,32,103-121; Sohal, R.S., Insectaging, Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 1986,23-44; Sohal, R.S., Aging, 1982,5,21-24).

Live body is avoided oxidative damage in order to protect it, and it has antioxidant and antioxidase, as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase or peroxidase.But with age, these enzymes are for phylactic power defensive power variation (Orr, W.C. and Sohal, R.S., Science, 1994,263, the 1128-1130 of oxygen-derived free radicals; Sohal, R.S. etc., J.Biol.Chem., 1995,270,15671-15674).For example, isolated SOD specific activity isolated SOD activity from young mice is low from Aged Mice.Especially, increase antioxidase, SOD and catalatic activity, can make the life-span of fruit bat prolong 30%, this explanation oxygen-derived free radicals closely links to each other with aging.Therefore, the antioxidant that can remove oxygen-derived free radicals or inhibition lipid peroxidation can be effective to treat the disease that is caused by oxygen-derived free radicals, and can be effective to prevent aging.

With live body continue to place by such as air pollution, UV, stress (stress) or disease the oxidative stress that causes of hostile environment, can increase the free radical in the live body, can destroy the connective tissue of hyaluronic acid, elastin laminin, collagen protein and corium and cause wrinkle, even understand, thereby cause disease as dermatitis, erythra or skin carcinoma and so on owing to the lipid in the oxidation cell membrane has destroyed cell.Free radical is relevant with melanic generation, and this relation is considered to the reason of variable color, freckle and wrinkle.Up to now, ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol or SOD are used to prepare the cosmetics of protecting skin or as the medical supplies of free radical scavenger.But its price is high, and because the unstability of chemical mixture, and make its effect uncertain.Therefore, the common objective in medical supplies, foods and cosmetics industry is to develop promptly can be satisfied with again safely to remove the material of free radical effect.

The telomere theory is to explain old and feeble another kind of main theory.Human normal cell is at the cell division of external experience quantification.That is, after finishing predetermined division, cell division stops, and it is aging that this situation is called replication form.The telomere theoretical explanation why take place replication form aging (Kim, S.H. is etc., Oncogene 21:503-511 (2002); Harley, C.B., etc., Nature 345:458-460 (1990); Olovnikov, A.M.J.Theoret.Biol.41:181-190 (1973); Harley, C.B., Exp.Gerontol.27:375-382 (1992); Allsopp, R.C., Weissman, I.L., Oncogene, 21:3270-3273 (2002)).Telomere is the heterosomal end portion of eukaryotic cell line, has very particular structure, in this structure ' and TTAGGG ' sequence is multiple.Especially, guanine (G) has formed highly stable G-tetrad structure (G-quartet structure) by hydrogen bond, so it can stablize and protect chromosome (Moyzis, R.K. is etc., Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.85:6622-6626 (1988)).Yet, known in human somatic cell when cell division takes place, telomere just shortens (Harley, C.B., Futcher, A.B., Greider, C.W., Nature 345:458-460 (1990) gradually; Harley, C.B.et al., Exp.Gerontol.27:375-382 (1992); Allsopp, R.C., Weissman, I.L., Oncogene 21:3270-3273 (2002)).This is the cause because of " end duplicates problem ", and described " end duplicates problem " represented when dna replication dna, and 3 '-terminal primer zone is (Olovnikov, the A.M.J.Theoret.Biol.41:181-190 (1973)) that does not duplicate.Therefore, cell division takes place at every turn, repetition DNA all shortens this part of primer, and the telomere in chromosome also shortens this part of primer.When telomere continues to shorten postcritical, strand and the two strands of DNA are cut off, cause cell division to be hindered (Harley by cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors) in the G1 stage, C.B., et al., Exp.Gerontol, 27:375-382 (1992)).According to nearest research, telomere length changes with oxidative stress.That is to say that oxidative stress impels telomere to shorten, this is because compare with chromosomal other parts, the less cause that is repaired of oxidative damage (Saretzki, G., von Zglinicki in the telomeric dna part, T., Ann.New York Acad.Sci.959:24-29 (2002); Von Zglinicki, T., Ann.NewYork4cad.Sci.908:99-110 (2000); Von Zglinicki, T., TRENDS Biochem.Sci.27:339-344 (2002); Lorenz, M., etc., Free Radic.Biol.Med.31:824-831 (2001)).

The inventor is devoted to find out the novel substance that suppresses skin aging based on those theories about aging from plant.Plant has the perfect egodefense system of setting up, and they self avoid suffering the oxidative stress that caused by the many oxygen-derived free radicals that comprise peroxide radical (photosynthetic residual product) protection of this egodefense system.Therefore, plant self is the important source of antioxidant.Therefore, the inventor has studied the activity of removing free radical and the activity that suppresses lipid peroxidation for 350 kind of plant, and has selected several material standed fors with antioxidant activity.From be easy to guarantee the source with and composition and activity be not disclosed consideration, the inventor has selected Chinese cercis as the final material standed for that is used for antioxidant.

The China cercis, a kind of machaka, it belongs to pulse family family and grows in China.High 3～the 5m of China cercis, its tip does not have fine hair, but a lot of hole skins are arranged.It has simple alternate leaf (alternateleaves), and it is the round heart of 6-11cm that leaf forms diameter, does not have fine hair, no decorative pattern, and the edge is smooth.The leaf upper end is blackish green and glossy, but the leaf back is a light green.Stipule is tetragon and early fallout.Flower is long for 1-2cm, and axil has a plurality of flowers.Flower does not have floral axis but bennet is arranged.Calyx is the umbrella shape, and its upper edge has 5 crenations.Corolla is butterfly and magneta colour, and it has 5 irregular petals.It has 10 whole isolating stamens.The stamen bottom is attached on the calyx, and the filigree of stamen is thin and very long.It has single gynoecium.Ovary is level and smooth and do not have fine hair.Ovary also has capsule (bag).The shaped upper part bending, the stigma of flower is little, short and do not have a decorative pattern.Flowering time is about April, grows leaf after blooming.As leguminous plant, fruit has flat belt-like, and its end portion is shunk and formed short beak (short bill).Long 7～the 12cm of soybean pod is in August or JIUYUE maturation.Seed be circular, flat and near black (Lee, Y.N., Flora of Korea, Kyo-Hak Publishing Co., Ltd., Seoul, 1996,362-363).Peel of stem, root bark and the stem of China cercis are used to improve blood circulation, dysmenorrhea, edema, damage and various injury (Bae, K.H., The medicinal plants of Korea, Kyo-Hak Publishing, Seoul, Korea, 2000).

The inventor confirms that the extract of Chinese cercis is different with other synthetic antioxidant; it is to not injury of the mankind; it has excellent protection cytoactive to oxidative stress; it in addition can shorten speed and prolong cell survival by reducing telomere; therefore this extract can effectively be used the cosmetic composition that acts on defying age, protection skin elasticity and wrinkle-care, thereby the inventor has finished the present invention.

Embodiment 1: effective component extracting from Chinese cercis

＜1-1〉initial gross separation of antioxidant activity fraction

In order from Chinese cercis, to extract effective ingredient, experimentize by the technology that in Fig. 1 sketch map, occurs with antioxidant activity.Particularly, use pulverizer with 1Kg the moon in leaf and the stem of Chinese cercis pulverize powdered, this powder two time-of-weeks of between room temperature extracts twice, twice with ethanol (EtOH), being separated by.For this extract, to wherein progressively add 0～100% ethanol (increasing progressively 10%) at every turn with the preparation alcoholic solution.Prepared alcoholic solution is used for extracting.By using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-Pycryl-hydrazyl) (Taco, T. etc., Biosci.Biotech.Biochem., 1994,58,1780-1783; Na, M.K. etc., Nat.Prod.Sci., 2002,8, method 26-29) is studied the antioxidant activity of extract.DPPH is a kind of stable free radical, and it illustrates as the maximum optical density of free radical at the 517nm place.But when it was eliminated, it had just lost absorbance.Based on this viewpoint, can use DPPH to measure antioxidant activity.More specifically, obtain every kind of ethanol extraction according to variable concentrations from Chinese cercis, reuse DMSO (Sigma) is diluted to 3.125,6.25,12.25,25 and 50 μ g/ml respectively.Then, every kind of solution distributes with every kind 10 μ l and enters in 96 orifice plates, again to wherein add 190 μ l DPPH (Sigma, St.Louis, Mo, USA) solution, the concentration of alcohol of this solution are 2 * 10 ^-4M/ml.This plate was only placed 30 minutes in room temperature.At last, measure OD at 517nm ₅₁₇Be used for contrast, add DMSO with the replacement sample, and the variation of research optical density.The activity of removing the DPPH free radical is by following＜mathematical expression 1〉calculate, and the sample concentration that can remove 50% DPPH is had IC made to order ₅₀

＜mathematical expression 1 〉

Remove activity (%)=(A of DPPH free radical _Contrast-A _Sample)/A _Contrast* 100

A _Contrast: the optical density of matched group (not adding sample),

A _Sample: the optical density (OD) of experimental group (adding sample).

Embodiment 2: the test of removing the DPPH free radical activity

To separate and contain＜Chemical formula 1 in order to study at the foregoing description 1-＜Chemical formula 20〉antioxidant activity of extract of expression chemical compound, measure the activity of their removing DPPH free radical by employed same procedure in the foregoing description 1.At this moment, BHA (tertiary butyl-4-hydroxy methyl phenyl ethers anisole) and alpha-tocopherol, synthetized oxidation preventive agent are as positive control.

As a result, phenolic acid and flavone compound demonstrate the strong removing free radical activity that depends on dosage.And the stilbene compound exhibits goes out stronger removing free radical activity.Particularly, the epicatechol gallate that comprises gallic acid has strong activity.For example, by the IC of the chemical compound of following expression ₅₀Value is respectively 5.1 ± 0.4; 5.3 ± 0.3; 7.0 ± 1.1; 6.8 ± 0.5; 6.7 ± 0.4 and 8.6 ± 0.7g/ml:＜chemical formula 6〉(gallic acid);＜chemical formula 7〉(gallicin);＜chemical formula 8〉(progallin A);＜Chemical formula 17〉((-)-epicatechin (epicatechin)-3-O-epicatechol gallate);＜Chemical formula 18〉((-)-Biao is theine (epigallocatechin)-3-O-epicatechol gallate extremely) and＜Chemical formula 13 (myricetin-3-O-(2-O-galloyl)-α-L-Fructus rhamni (Rhamnus davurica Pall.) pyranoside); this shows is not having big difference and all substances in them and alpha-tocopherol (IC between these chemical compounds on the activity ₅₀25.4 ± 0.9g/ml) and BHA (IC ₅₀15.3 ± 0.6g/ml) compare, demonstrate significantly stronger removing free radical activity, and alpha-tocopherol and BHA both are used for positive control (table 3).

If electron-donating group is placed on the ortho position of phenyl ring, then the benzene oxygen-derived free radicals becomes stable easily, and this situation causes removing the increase (Cuvelier of free radical activity, M.E., Richard, H., Berset, C., Biosci.Biotechnol.Biochem.56:324-325 (1992); Kikuzaki, H., etc., J.Agric.Food Chem.50:2161-2168 (2002)).Because galloyl is placed on the position of contiguous 3 hydroxyls, so the strong free radical activity of removing of this group demonstration, this situation can make the phenol oxygen-derived free radicals stable effectively.As shown in table 3; except that galloyl; flavone compound by following expression also confirms to have strong removing free radical activity:＜Chemical formula 16〉((+)-catechin),＜chemical formula 9 (myricetin),＜Chemical formula 10 (afzelin Afzeloside),＜Chemical formula 11 (quercimentin) and＜Chemical formula 12 (myricetrin), this situation is seemingly because phenol substituent makes the stable cause of phenol oxygen-derived free radicals in the flavonoid structure.In a word, containing power supply sub-ability big substituent chemical compound can increase the removing free radical activity, the report consistent (Pekkarinen, S.S., et al., J.Agric.Food Chem.47:3036-3043 (1999)) of this situation and Pekkarinene etc.

Embodiment 3: the active test of the inhibition of lipid peroxidation

Separate and contain＜Chemical formula 1 in order to be determined at the foregoing description 1-＜Chemical formula 20〉antioxidant activity of expression chemical compound, studied the inhibition activity of the lipid peroxidation of these chemical compounds.Lipid oxidation produces the oxide such as lipid hydroperoxide, conjugated fatty acid (HODEs), epoxyfatty acid, propionic aldehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxyl nonenyl aldehyde (4-HNE), so just caused to the biomembranous coup injury of formation cell or with the indirect reaction of other cellular component.Therefore, the oxidation of lipid is considered to degenerative disease and old and feeble one of the main reasons (Esterbauer, H. etc., FreeRadic.Biol.Med., 1991,11:81-128; Esterbauer, H., Cheeseman, K.H., MethodsEnzymol., 1990,186:407-421; Jira, W., etc., Chem.Phys.Lipids, 1996,84:165-173; Jira, W. etc., Biosci, 1998,53:1061-1071).Usually, pass on the peroxide radical that produces in system such as mitochondrion or the microsome at the electronics of cell and be transformed into H by enzyme reaction in vivo ₂O ₂, also become harmless water by the enzymic transformation such as catalase or glutathion peroxidase.But, as the active oxygen that other reason increases, H ₂O ₂By Fenton reaction (Fe ²⁺+ H ₂O ₂→ Fe ³⁺+ HO+HO ^-) or metal-catalytic Haber-Weiss reaction (O ^2-+ H ₂O ₂→ O ₂+ HO+HO ^-) hydroxy radical (HO) that produces, this situation has just caused the generation of lipid peroxide.This lipid peroxide is reacted in vivo with metal ion once more, thereby generate lipid free radical (L) or lipid peroxy free radical (LOO), this has caused chain reaction (Halliwell, B., the Gutteridge of lipid peroxide, J.M.C., Free radicals in biology and medicine, 3rd Edition, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1999; Halliwell, B., Gutteridge, J.M.C., Biochem.J., 1999,219:1-14; Harman, D., Free radical theory ofaging.Alan R Liss, New York, 1986,3-49; Stadtman, E.R., Levine, R.L., Ann.NYAcad.Sci., 2000,899:191-208).Therefore, the chemical compound with the sub-ability of power supply is considered to have the activity that lipid peroxidation suppresses.

The inhibition activity of lipid peroxidation can quantize by spectrographic method, and the propionic aldehyde that the lipid oxidation effect that caused by hydroxy radical in this spectrographic method produces and thiobarbituricacid (below be called ' TBA ') react, and described hydroxy radical is Fe ²⁺The end product of/ascorbic acid reaction system.Particularly, 10 μ l are by＜Chemical formula 1 〉-＜Chemical formula 20〉each chemical compound and mouse brain homogenate of the protein concentration that 50 μ l have 10mg/ml and the 50mM phosphate buffer (pH7.4) of 740 μ l of expression mixes.Then, to wherein adding 0.1mM FeSO ₄.7H ₂O ₂With the mixture (200 μ l) of 1mM ascorbic acid, subsequently 37 ℃ of reactions 30 minutes.In this reaction solution, add 20% trichloroacetic acid (hereinafter being called ' TCA ') of 250 μ l (Sigma) with cessation reaction.Then, add the 1%TBA (Sigma) of 250 μ l, this mixture was 100 ℃ of reactions 10 minutes.This reaction solution is with 10, and centrifugal 10 minutes of 000rpm measures OD subsequently ₅₃₂According to following＜mathematical expression 2〉calculate the inhibition activity of the lipid peroxidation of each sample, and the concentration that will be enough to suppress 50% lipid peroxidation is defined as IC ₅₀BHA and alpha-tocopherol are used for comparable group, and do not add sample or solution in matched group.

A _Sample: the optical density of experimental group (adding sample),

A _Blank: the optical density that does not add the group of sample, TCA and TBA.

As a result, flavonoid, stilbene and phenolic ester chemical compound show the lipid peroxidation inhibition activity of strong dependent dose.Particularly, stilbene by＜chemical formula 5〉chemical compound of (spruce tannin alcohol) expression is proved to be has and BHA (IC ₅₀: 0.11 ± 0.02g/ml) equally strong activity (IC ₅₀: 0.09 ± 0.01g/ml), BHA is the strong lipid peroxidation inhibitor of known conduct.And most flavone compounds are all expressed strong lipid peroxidation inhibition activity.Particularly, by the IC of the chemical compound of following expression ₅₀Value is respectively 0.95 ± 0.06; 2.9 ± 0.06; 1.0 ± 0.08; 6.21 ± 0.40; 5.27 ± 0.32 and 4.73 ± 0.41g/ml:＜chemical formula 9〉(myricetin);＜Chemical formula 17〉((-)-epicatechin-3-O-epicatechol gallate);＜Chemical formula 18〉((-)-Biao is theine-3-O-epicatechol gallate extremely);＜Chemical formula 11〉(quercimentin);＜Chemical formula 12〉(myricetrin) and＜Chemical formula 13 (myricetin-3-O-(2-O-galloyl)-α-L-Fructus rhamni (Rhamnus davurica Pall.) pyranoside); these chemical compounds are than the inhibition of the lipid peroxidation of alpha-tocopherol active better (table 4), and this alpha-tocopherol is as positive control.As if the DPPH of similar the foregoing description 2 removes free radical activity, and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation is active relevant with the stabilisation of phenol oxygen-derived free radicals.That is, place many more electron-donating groups on phenyl ring, the phenol oxygen-derived free radicals is easy to become stable more, and this situation can cause active increase.In particular, the structure of flavone compound not only helps the stable of phenol oxygen-derived free radicals, and helps the chelating of metal ion, and this is because this chemical compound has strong lipid peroxidation and suppresses active cause.
