In order to apply Magnolia biondii extracts to Korean herbal cosmetics, pharmacological activities, safety and stability of cosmetics added with Magnolia biondii were tested. In detail, pharmacological, anti-cancer and anti- inflammatory effects of the extracts of Magnolia biondii were evaluated under different extraction conditions such as hot water and 80% ethanol. In the DPPH-scavenging assay, 56.7% scavenging ability of Magnolia biondii water extract was higher than 42.4% scavenging ability of Magnolia biondii ethanol extract at 100ppm. From the measurement on xanthine oxidase inhibition of Magnolia biondii water extract and Magnolia biondii ethanol extract were 76.9% and 61.3% at 1,000ppm concentration, respectively. In the test of super oxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, ascorbic acid showed quit more activity with 99.3% in 5,000ppm, while Magnolia biondii water extract and Magnolia biondii ethanol extract were 84.2% and 43.8%, respectively. In the whitening effect, water extract and ethanol extract of Magnolia biondii showed 62.0% and 42.6% at 5,000ppm, respectively. 98.2% nitrite scavenging ability of Magnolia biondii water extract was higher than 92.1% nitrite scavenging ability of Magnolia biondii ethanol extract at 1,000ppm concentration. Magnolia biondii extract were showed cytotoxic effects in murine melanoma B16F10. In anti-inflammatory test, Magnolia biondii extract significantly inhibited dose-dependently generation of nitric oxide and iNOS protein which was LPS-induced macrophage Raw 264.7. In the Apoptosis test of HaCaT, Magnolia biondii extract inhibited generation of DNA fragmentation, caspase-3,-8, TUNEL assay on UVB(50mJ/cm2) with a dose-dependent manner. The results of stability test showed that cosmetics containing the water extract and ethanol extract of Magnolia biondii were very stable for both temperature and artificial sun lamp. In addition to, pH and viscosity of emulsion containing Magnolia biondii extracts were also stable during 28days. From the result of human patch test, emulsion containing Magnolia biondii extracts confirmed safety. These results indicate that the extract of Magnolia biondii has anti-inflammatory activities as a cosmeceuticals compared to commercials.
