embodiment 1

1. Activator

[0100]“Activating” in the present specification indicates maintaining or prompting cell functions or cell activities. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the drops of the cell functions or cell activities, i.e. it is possible to prevent aging of cells. Therefore, “activator” is synonymous to “cell activator”, and is effective as “anti-aging agent”.

[0101]For example, “activating” and “anti-aging” in skin cells indicate reducing drop of functions of the skin cells due to accumulation of structural change of basement membrane derived from aging and photoaging, thereby preventing or improving wrinkles, sags, hardening etc. of skins, so as to maintain resilient, young, and healthy skins. Further, in a case of hair-papilla cells or hair matrix cells, “activating” and “anti-aging” indicates reducing drop of functions of hair-papilla cells or hair matrix cells due to aging, stress, and hormone balance, thereby keeping hair cycle so as to prevent loss of hair.

embodiment 2

[0184]The following explains another embodiment of the present invention.

[0185]

[0186]In order to aid understanding of MEL of the present invention, the following outlines conventional MEL.

[0187]The conventional MEL is produced through cultivation of a MEL-producing microorganism. A representative example of the chemical structure of the conventional MEL is shown by general formula (5) below.

[0188]The chemical structure includes 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol as a basic structure thereof.

[0189]In the general formula (5), a substituent R is a hydro carbon group (alkyl group or alkenyl group). Four kinds of the conventional MEL are known according to whether an acetyl group at 4- and 6-positions of mannose exists or not. The four kinds include MEL-A, MEL-B, MEL-C, and MEL-D.

[0190]MEL-A is designed such that each of substituents R1 and R2 is an acetyl group in the general formula (5). MEL-B is designed such that the substituent R1 is an acetyl group and the substituent R2 is hyd...

Cell-Activating Function of MEL on Normal Human Skin Fibroblasts

[0243]Normal human skin fibroblasts were cultured by a common procedure with use of a normal human skin fibroblast total kit (CA106K05, manufactured by Cell Applications. Inc. USA, imported and sold by TOYOBO CO., LTD).

[0244]Normal human skin fibroblasts were inoculated to a microplate having 48 holes, so that 2.0×104 cells were inoculated to each well. An inoculation medium was a Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) to which 10% of fetal calf serum was added. The cells were cultured at 37° C. with 5 vol % of carbon dioxide concentration for 24 hours, and then the cells were put in a test medium to which MEL-A with final concentration of 1 ng / ml-0.01 mg / ml was added, and the cells were further cultured for 48 hours. MEL-A used in the present Example was obtained by culturing Pseudozyma antarctica NBRC 10736 in a medium to which soybean oil was added (3% soybean oil, 0.02% MgSO4.H2O, 0.02% KH2PO4, 0.1% yeast extract...

Abstract

The present invention includes as an active ingredient at least one biosurfactant, in particular mannosyl alditol lipid (such as MEL and MML) or triacylated mannosyl alditol lipid. This allows providing an activator and anti-aging agent that is excellent in activating and anti-aging effects on cells and that is safe enough to be used for a long time, and also providing cosmetics, quasi-drugs, drugs, and drinks and foods including the activator and the anti-aging agent as active ingredients. Further, the present invention provides MEL whose mannosyl erythritol skeleton in a molecular structure is 1-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol and a method for producing the MEL with use of a microorganism.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an activator including a biosurfactant as an active ingredient. In particular, the present invention relates to cosmetics, quasi-drugs, drugs, drinks and foods, each including a biosurfactant which activates various cells and is effective for anti-aging, hair growth, and prevention of loss of hair.[0002]Further, the present invention relates to new mannosylerythritol lipid (which may be hereinafter referred to as MEL) and a production method thereof. To be specific, the present invention relates to: an MEL which is one of glycolipids produced by microorganism and whose mannosylerythritol skeleton in a molecular structure is 1-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol; and a production method of the MEL by microorganism.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Aging of individuals and various diseases due to the aging are greatly involved with aging of all dividing cells (drop of dividing speed, drop of cell function). For example, skin includes epidermic ...
