Skin-Related Properties and Constituents from the Aerial Parts Extract of Persicaria senticosa.

ABSTRACT: In the course of screening for cosmetic ingredients by measuring antioxidant and antiwrinkle and whitening and anti-inflammatory activities, skin-related activity was tested using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging, elastase inhibition, tyrosinase inhibition, and nitric oxide assay. Several Polygonaseae extracts were found to show potent activity. The results showed that the Persicaria senticosa methanolic extract has the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ABTS radical scavenging activities (IC₅₀ 61.0 and 17.5 μg/mL). In the elastase inhibition assay and nitric oxide assay, the IC₅₀ of methanolic extract of Persicaria senticosa was 739.7
