|
In this study, extracts of bark from Ulmus davidiana var. japonica and its fractions were investigated the antioxidative, antibacterial and tyrosinase inhibition activity for physiological activity towards functional applications. In the measurement of DPPH radical scavenging activity, the ethyl acetate fraction showed higher radical scavenging ability than others. Moreover, in the tyrosinase inhibition assay, showed that the ethyl acetate fraction has good inhibition effects. Results of the DPPH radical scavenging and tyrosinase inhibition activity are related with the total polyphenol concentrations of ethyl acetate fraction. In antibacterial activity used to find out by utilizing the disc diffusion assay, chloroform fraction showed strong effect against Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis. These results are related with the flavonoid contents of chloroform fraction. On the other hand, in the L929 cell viability measurement by MTT assay, the hexane, butanol and aqueous fraction treated at high concentration were showed cytotoxicity. But the others samples were exhibited a moderate viabilities. As a result of investigated the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition activity, the ethyl acetate fraction could be applicable for cosmetics related fields. And the chloroform fraction showed significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus and S. epidermidis.
