Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Cosmeceutical Science
  • Natural Product Chemistry
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • UVB exposure causes significant cellular damage, leading to photoaging.
  • Bamboo shoot (Phyllostachys pubescens) is an edible plant with potential biological activities.
  • Previous research has not evaluated bamboo shoot's UVB photo-protective effects on skin fibroblasts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To isolate and identify UVB photo-protective metabolites from bamboo shoot.
  • To evaluate the photo-protective and anti-inflammatory activities of these isolated compounds.
  • To explore the potential application of these compounds in the cosmeceutical industry.

Main Methods:

  • Methanolic extract of bamboo shoot was used for metabolite isolation.
UVB photo-protection
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and High-Resolution Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) were employed for structure determination.
  • In vitro assays were performed on human dermal fibroblast cells (NHDF-Ad) and mouse leukemic monocyte cells (RAW 264) to assess photo-protection and anti-inflammatory effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Three compounds were isolated: 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9-octadecenoate (1), 2,3-dihydroxypropyl tridecanoate (2), and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl undecanoate (3).
    • Compounds showed no cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 10 μg/mL.
    • Compound 1 exhibited the strongest photo-protective activity, enhancing cell viability in UVB-irradiated NHDF-Ad cells.
    • All tested compounds demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties by reducing nitric oxide (NO) production and downregulating COX-2 and iNOS gene expression.

    Conclusions:

    • Bamboo shoot contains UVB photo-protective and anti-inflammatory metabolites.
    • Compound 1, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 9-octadecenoate, is a potent photo-protective agent.
    • These findings support the potential use of bamboo shoot-derived compounds in cosmeceuticals for skin protection and anti-aging formulations.
