为探讨一款复方精油抑制酪氨酸酶活性和黑色素含量的效果,采用气相色谱与质谱联用技术(GC-MS)对一款复方精油进行成分分析;以促黑素细胞激素(α-MSH)诱导黑色素高表达的小鼠黑色素瘤细胞(B16细胞)为模型,利用台盼蓝染色记数细胞、CKK8法测定复方精油对黑色素细胞活力的影响;分别采用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)和多巴氧化法测定细胞内的黑色素含量以及酪氨酸酶活性。结果显示,该复方植物精油中含有蒎烯(26.19%)、芳樟醇(12.98%)、檀香醇(9.39%)、乙酸芳樟酯(9.16%)等化合物;当复方精油质量浓度小于0.1 g/L时对B16细胞没有毒性,细胞增殖率高于90%;不同质量浓度的复方精油对α-MSH诱导的B16细胞内的黑色素含量和酪氨酸酶活性均有显著的抑制作用,当质量浓度为0.1 g/L时,对B16细胞内黑色素合成的抑制率为36.03%,对细胞内酪氨酸酶活性的抑制率为51.27%,其抑制黑色素生成效果最佳。综上所述,该复方植物精油能够显著抑制黑色素合成,抑制B16细胞内酪氨酸酶活性。
In order to investigate the inhibitory effect of a blend essential oil on tyrosinase activity and melanin content, the composition of this blend essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS. Taking mouse melanoma cells (B16) with high melanin expression induced by melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) as the model, the effects of the blend essential oil on melanocyte vitality were determined by trypan blue staining and CKK8 method. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and dopa oxidation method were used to measure melanin content and tyrosinase activity in cells. The results showed that the blend essential oil contained a large number of compounds such as pinene (26.19%) , linalool (12.98%) , santalol (9.39%) , linalyl acetate (9.16%) , etc.; the blend essential oil had no toxicity to B16 cells when the mass concentration was less than 0.1 g/L, and the cell proliferation rate was higher than 90%; the blend essential oil at different mass concentrations could significantly inhibit the tyrosinase activity and melanin content in B16 cells induced by α-MSH. When the mass concentration of blend essential oil was 0.1 g/L,it had the best inhibitory effect on melanin production, and the inhibitory rates on tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis were 51.27% and 36.03%, respectively. In conclusion, the blend plant essential oil could significantly inhibit melanin synthesis and inhibit the tyrosinase activity in B16 cells.
