Antiphotoaging effects of solvent fractions isolated from Allomyrina dichotoma larvae extract.

ABSTRACT: Skin aging is affected by a variety of factors, including ultraviolet rays, oxidative stress, medications, smoking, and genetics. Among them, photo-aging accounts for about 80% of skin aging. The present study was evaluated to verify the potential of Allomyrina dichotoma larvae, which has recently been attracting attention as an edible insect, as an anti-aging substance. UVB irradiation at 100 mJ/cm² was sufficient to induce photo-aging of fibroblasts within 24 h, which was alleviated after treatment with 70% ethanol extract of Allomyrina dichotoma larvae extract (ADLE). To obtain an extract from ADLE, which has a relatively high content of polyphenol compounds containing physiological activity, fractional solvent extraction was carried out using organic sol
