[0068] Experimental Example 2

[0069] The maximum safe concentration of the Mirabilis jalapa extract prepared in Example 1 was determined by the MTT method.

[0070] Cell seeding: Adjust the density of mouse RAW264.7 macrophages (purchased from Wuhan Punosai Life Science Co., Ltd.) to 1×10 5 cell / mL, and inoculate 200 μL (1×10 4 cell / well) into a 96-well plate per well. Add basal medium around the 96-well plate to prevent edge effects. Another zero control group (200 μL of basal medium without cells) is set up and cultured in an incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2).

[0071] Sample preparation: Use DMEM basal medium to prepare a solution of Mirabilis jalapa extract with a concentration of 30 mg / mL, filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter membrane. Take it out before use and dilute it with DMEM medium into test sample solutions with concentrations of 0.5 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL, 5 mg / mL, 10 mg / mL, and 15 mg / mL for standby.

[0072] MTT: Weigh an appropriate amount of MTT powder precisely, dissolve it in PBS and prepare a concentration of 5 mg / mL, filter it with a 0.22 μm filter membrane and store it in the dark at 4 °C for standby. The validity period is 15 days.

[0073] Drug administration: Take out the 96-well plate after culturing for 24 h, discard the old medium, and plate it according to 3 replicates per concentration per group; add 200 μL of DMEM basal medium to each well of the zero control group and the blank control group, and add 200 μL of test sample solutions with different concentrations to each well of the experimental group, then put it back into the incubator for culture (37 °C, 5% CO2).

[0074] MTT assay for cell viability: 24 h after drug treatment, take out the 96-well plate, add 20 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) to each well, put it back into the incubator and continue to culture for 4 h. Then discard the liquid in the wells, add 150 μL of DMSO to each well again, shake for 10 min, and measure the absorbance (OD value) at a wavelength of 560 nm.

[0075] Treatment of experimental results: Cell viability % = (OD value of experimental group - OD value of zero-adjustment well) / (OD value of blank control group - OD value of zero-adjustment group) × 100%. When the cell viability ≥ 90%, the corresponding sample concentration is the maximum safe concentration. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] As can be seen from Table 3, the Mirabilis jalapa extract obtained by the method of this application has good soothing and repair effects. And when the Mirabilis jalapa extracts obtained by different processes are at the same concentration, their effects are also different.

[0094] (2) Skin moisture content test

[0095] Use the skin moisture content test probe Corneometer CM 825 of CK Company in Germany to test 13 subjects aged 18 - 45 years old. The inner sides of the forearms of the subjects should not use any cosmetics 2 - 3 days before using the test sample. The test area is 3 cm × 3 cm. The test sample is applied once at a dosage of 1 mg, and the sample is evenly coated in the test area. The subjects use the test sample on the test area every morning and evening during the test. Before each instrument test, the subjects need to clean the inner sides of their forearms uniformly. The cleaning method is to wipe them clean with a dry paper towel, then sit quietly in a standard room for 20 min, not drink water or beverages, expose the forearms, place them in a test state, and keep relaxed. The subjects continuously use the sample for 4 weeks, and return visits are made respectively 8 h, two weeks (W2), and four weeks (W4) after use (no application is made before the return visits on the days of W2 and W4. After the W2 return visit test, it is normally applied until the day before the W4 return visit), image shooting and probe testing are carried out, and comparisons are made with before use. The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] From the results in Table 4, it can be seen that the moisturizing rates and continuous moisturizing effects of Examples 1 - 3 are better. There is no report of adverse events in this test. Among them, compared with before use, the data after 4 weeks of using the product obtained by the present invention show that the skin moisture content has been significantly improved, indicating that the product of the present invention has good moisturizing effects.

Add the sample test solutions according to Table 5, and then place them in a water bath at 37 °C for 10 min for constant temperature; then add tyrosinase to tubes A and C in sequence, with an interval of 30 s between each enzyme addition. After adding the enzyme, immediately vortex for 15 s to mix evenly, and react for 15 min. After the reaction tubes return to room temperature, measure the absorbance at 475 nm with an ultraviolet spectrophotometer to detect the inhibition rate of the sample on tyrosinase. The results are shown in Table 6, and the calculation formula for the inhibition rate of the sample on tyrosinase is as follows.

[0102] Inhibition rate (%) = [(A - B) - (C - D)] / (A - B) × 100%,

[0103] where A is the absorbance of the blank sample with the enzyme system; B is the absorbance of the blank sample without the enzyme system; C is the absorbance of the sample group with the enzyme system; D is the absorbance of the sample group without the enzyme system.
