[0104]
[0105] Referring to Table 1 and Figure 2 above, it can be confirmed that the compound prepared in Example 1 exhibits high antibacterial activity, unlike Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
[0106]
[0107] Experimental Example 2
[0108] To measure the whitening activity of the compound (ATO-001) manufactured in the example, the Melanin Contents Assay method, which measures melanin production induced by α-MSH, was used.
[0109] Specifically, B16F10 melanoma cells were seeded at 2 × 10 in a 48-well plate. 4 The samples were treated after 24 hours in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin / streptomycin. The sample groups were divided into 6 groups: control, negative control, 3 sample concentrations (0.5 ppm, 1 ppm, 2 ppm), and positive control. Only clear full media was used for the control, and for NC, sample groups, and PC, 40 μM α-MSH was used in clear full media diluted 200-fold to 0.2 μM.
[0110] To adjust the volume, DMSO (1 / 200 of the required clear full media) was added to the control and NC, and 1 / 200 of the required clear full media and 10,000 ppm arbutin were added to the material group and PC. Cells were treated with 600 μL each in the same amount as when seeding and incubated for 48 hours. After removing the supernatant, the cells were washed twice with 1x PBS, and 200 μL of RIPA buffer (1% inhibitor cocktail) was added and reacted at 4°C for 30 minutes. The cells were then collected in a 1.5 ml e-tube. The cells were centrifuged in a deep freezer centrifuge at 15,000 rpm, -8℃ for 20 minutes, the supernatant was removed, and only the pellet was collected. 500 ul of 1N NaOH was added and dissolved at 70℃ for 1 hour. 100 ul of the dissolved pellet was placed in each 96-well plate, and the absorbance was measured at 475 nm using a microplate reader.
[0111] The whitening efficacy was evaluated through absorbance measurements, and the results are shown in Figure 3.
[0112]
[0113] Referring to FIG. 3, in the case of the compound manufactured in Example 1, it can be confirmed that the melanin content gradually significantly decreases as the treatment concentration increases at concentrations of 1 ppm and 2 ppm.
[0114]
[0115] It can be confirmed that the novel compound represented by chemical formula 1 according to the present invention exhibits excellent antibacterial and whitening activities.
