The plant callus culture technique is an emerging source of bioactive compounds with potential applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Callus-derived extracts contain high concentrations of secondary metabolites with significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties when elicited. L. has been used for its medicinal effects; however, the potential of its callus extract (CCE) for cosmetic applications remains unexplored. Callus from was induced in vitro using a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with Thidiazuron (TDZ) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The extract was analyzed for its bioactive composition using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated in lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages by measuring nitric oxide (NO) production, DAF-2 fluorescence intensity, released cytokine levels, and protein expression of inflammatory mediators via ELISA, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assays. CCE demonstrated significant radical scavenging activity. CCE effectively suppressed LPS-induced NO production and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Western blot analysis revealed that CCE inhibited NF-κB nuclear translocation while upregulating NRF2-mediated antioxidant responses. Furthermore, HPLC analysis confirmed the presence of cannabinoids, which could potentially be associated with the modulation of inflammatory pathways through the endocannabinoid system. This study provides evidence that CCE possesses notable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a promising ingredient for cosmetic formulations targeting oxidative stress and inflammatory skin conditions.
植物愈伤组织培养技术是生物活性化合物的一个新兴来源,在化妆品和制药领域具有潜在应用价值。愈伤组织提取物含有高浓度的次生代谢产物,诱导后具有显著的抗氧化和抗炎特性。L. 因其药用功效而被使用;然而,其愈伤组织提取物(CCE)在化妆品应用方面的潜力仍未得到探索。使用添加了噻苯隆(TDZ)和萘乙酸(NAA)的Murashige和Skoog(MS)培养基在体外诱导得到 的愈伤组织。使用高效液相色谱(HPLC)分析提取物的生物活性成分。使用DPPH自由基清除试验评估抗氧化活性。通过ELISA、蛋白质印迹和免疫荧光试验,通过测量一氧化氮(NO)产生、DAF-2荧光强度、释放的细胞因子水平以及炎症介质的蛋白质表达,在脂多糖(LPS)刺激的RAW264.7巨噬细胞中评估抗炎作用。CCE表现出显著的自由基清除活性。CCE有效抑制LPS诱导的NO产生并降低促炎细胞因子水平。蛋白质印迹分析表明,CCE抑制NF-κB核转位,同时上调NRF2介导的抗氧化反应。此外,HPLC分析证实了大麻素的存在,这可能与通过内源性大麻素系统调节炎症途径有关。本研究提供了证据表明CCE具有显著的抗氧化和抗炎特性,使其成为针对氧化应激和炎症性皮肤状况的化妆品配方的有前景成分。
