Abstract:

In vitro evaluation method was used to study the anti-oxidation and whitening effects of Prunus mume extract. Preliminary evaluation of its antioxidant activity was conducted by measuring the IC50 of Prunus mume extract on superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical scavenging. And in the H2O2-induced oxidative damage model of human skin fibroblast cell line (HFF-1 cells), the antioxidant activity of Prunus mume extract was evaluated by examining the cell morphology, cell survival rate, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, reactive oxygen radical (ROS) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, glutathione (GSH) activity, type I collagen (ColⅠ) content and matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) content. The tyrosinase activity inhibition experiment and the melanin content determination experiment of B16-F10 cells were used to evaluate the whitening effect of the Prunus mume extract. The results show that the Prunus mume extract has free radical scavenging effect, and the 60% and 90% alcohol extract of Prunus mume can significantly increase the activity of HFF-1 cells, SOD activity, GSH activity and Col Ⅰ content, and decrease the content of ROS, MDA and MMP-1. And it can also significantly reduce the melanin content in B16-F10 cells. To sum up, the white plum extract has obvious antioxidant and whitening effects.

Key words: Prunus mume, free radical, antioxidant, melanin, tyrosinase
