In vitro screening of extracts from 38 marine animal resources for novel cosmeceutical activities

Marine resources have various biological activities and their constituents are more novel than those of land organisms. Several biologically active been found in marine Recently, many studies reported that animals (MAs) can be used as functional ingredients foods or nutraceutical due to health benefits. However, no extensively investigated the cosmeceutical MAs extracts. Here, 70% ethanol extracts 38 were for whitening anti-aging properties use materials cosmeceuticals. Anti-aging determined by skin aging-related enzyme (anti-collagenase, anti-elastase, anti-hyaluronidase) (anti-tyrosinase, anti-3,4-dihydroxyl-L-phenylalanine [DOPA] oxidation) evaluated colorimetric method. Among MAs, we Urechis unicinctus Petrosia corticata showed strongest inhibitory effects against tyrosinase DOPA oxidation, respectively. Our results additionally Protankyra bidentata extract might provide a major source anti-hyaluronidase anti-elastase; meanwhile, anti-collagenase similar most MAs. Overall, these suggest potential tyrosinase, collagenase, elastase, hyaluronidase inhibitors. Taken together, MA could considered agent applied cosmetic industry.
