Problems solved by technology

However, to date, zebrafish have not been used to evaluate the whitening effect of compounds
Although the existing literature has reported that the whitening effect of the compound can be evaluated by observing the change of melanin on the surface of the zebrafish with a microscope, but this method cannot quantitatively analyze the whitening effect, nor does it evaluate other possible toxicity of the compound
Therefore, this method cannot be used as a standard system for whitening effect evaluation, nor is it suitable for industrial promotion.

Embodiment 1

[0045] The determination of embodiment 1 detection wavelength

[0046] (1) Select healthy zebrafish fertilized eggs under a microscope and place them in a petri dish containing 10 mL of Holtfreter’s Solution, with no more than 300 embryos per dish and a culture density of no more than 10 embryos / cm 2 , to avoid death caused by too high density, and then cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C to 24hpf;

[0047] (2) Transfer the healthy embryos developed to 24hpf in step (1) to a 24-well plate containing 500 μL Holtfreter's Solution, 20 embryos per well; then add the positive compound 1-benzene to each well of the 24-well plate Base-2-thiourea (Phenylthiourea, PTU) (final concentration: 30 μg / mL), incubating at 28°C in a constant temperature incubator until 48hpf, using no positive compound as the blank group;

[0048] (3) Transfer 20 embryos cultured to 48hpf in step (2) to a centrifuge tube and process in a tissue homogenizer at 45Hz for 30s to obtain a homogena...

Embodiment 2

[0051] Example 2 Evaluation of the whitening effect of α-arbutin

[0052] (1) At about 3:30 pm, select 4 pairs of healthy zebrafish and place them in mating boxes, with 2 females and 2 males in each box, and separate the males and females with partitions; at 9:00 am the next day, remove the partitions , collect the embryos after 40 minutes;

[0053] (2) Select healthy fertilized eggs under a microscope and place them in a petri dish containing 10mL Holtfreter’s Solution, with no more than 300 embryos per dish and a culture density of no more than 10 embryos / cm 2 , to avoid death caused by too high density, and then cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C to 24hpf;

[0054] (3) Transfer the healthy embryos developed to 24hpf in step (2) to a 24-well plate containing 500 μL Holtfreter'sSolution, 30 embryos per well; then add α-arbutin to each well of the 24-well plate, Set the final concentrations to 100mM, 10mM and 1mM respectively, set up 3 replicate wells for e...

Embodiment 3

[0058] Example 3 Evaluation of the whitening efficacy of phenylethyl resorcinol (Phenylethyl Resorcinol, PHR) and ascorbic acid ethyl ether (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbicacid, VCE)

[0059] (1) At about 3:30 pm, select 4 pairs of healthy zebrafish and place them in mating boxes, with 2 females and 2 males in each box, and separate the males and females with partitions; at 9:00 am the next day, remove the partitions , collect the embryos after 40 minutes;

[0060] (2) Select healthy fertilized eggs under a microscope and place them in a petri dish containing 10mL Holtfreter’s Solution, with no more than 300 embryos per dish and a culture density of no more than 10 embryos / cm 2 , to avoid death caused by too high density, and then cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 28°C to 24hpf;

[0061] (3) Transfer the healthy embryos developed to 24hpf in step (2) to a 24-well plate containing 600 μL Holtfreter's Solution, 30 embryos per well; then in each well of the 24-well plate, add P...

Abstract

The invention relates to whitening effect evaluation methods, in particular to a whitening effect evaluation method based on small fish embryos. The whitening effect evaluation method includes: addinga to-be-tested sample into incubation liquid to allow the to-be-tested sample to seep into the skin of young fish, taking out the young fish, grinding to obtain tissue homogenate, centrifuging, collecting precipitates, resuspending with an appropriate amount of water, and using osmotic pressure to crush cells to release melanin in the cells to obtain detection liquid; using a microplate reader orspectrophotometer to perform detection, and comparing with blank control not using the to-be-tested sample to evaluate the whitening effect of the to-be-tested sample. The whitening effect evaluationmethod has the advantages that the method is used to evaluate positive chemical compounds such as alpha-arbutin, and the result shows that the method can quantitatively evaluate the in-vivo whiteningeffect of the alpha-arbutin, and the in-vivo whitening effect of the alpha-arbutin is evidently dose-dependent; the method is capable of quantitatively evaluating the whitening effect at overall animal level, short in experimental period, low in cost, capable of performing in-vivo toxicity evaluation at the same time and applicable to the large-scale screening and development of the whitening rawmaterials of cosmetics.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a whitening effect evaluation method, in particular to a whitening effect evaluation method based on small fish embryos. Background technique [0002] Whitening effect is one of the important effects of modern cosmetics. It is generally believed that one of its biological targets is to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, or to resist the oxidation of dopaquinone, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of melanin. With the growth of demand, the investment in product research and development of whitening cosmetics is increasing day by day. Reliable, efficient and convenient whitening raw material screening technology has irreplaceable application value. [0003] The whitening effect is mainly aimed at the skin, and the skin is an important organ of the human body, and its changes are closely related to the whole body. At present, there is no unified standard for the screening and evaluation methods of whitening efficacy. The existing...
