| Abstract | Hot water extract (HWE) of Pinus radiata bark was separated into monomeric polyphenol (MPP), oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPA), and polymeric proanthocyanidin (PPA) fractions by monitored chromatography using a Sephadex LH 20 column and an UV detector at 250 nm. The effects of these fractions on NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and B16 melanoma cells were examined by evaluating cell viability, melanogenesis (melanin content), morphological changes, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity. The polyphenolic fractions had a proliferation effect on fibroblasts, with cell growth increasing significantly (P < 0.01) even at the high concentration of 1250 μg/ml. At 125 μg/ml, HWE, MPP, and OPA had no effect on melanogenesis, whereas PPA significantly upregulated melanogenesis (P < 0.05). Melanogenesis was significantly upregulated in melanoma cells treated with these fractions at the high concentration of 600 μg/ml (P < 0.01). B16 melanoma cells cultured with the proanthocyanidin (PA)-rich fractions (HWE, OPA, and PPA) showed marked dendrite retraction, leading to significant morphological transformation. OPA in particular showed colored adhesion on the surface of melanoma cells. All four fractions significantly inhibited mushroom tyrosinase activity when compared to arbutin and ascorbic acid 2-glucoside (P < 0.05). The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of OPA and PPA did not differ significantly (P = 0.11), indicating that the inhibitory effects had a low correlation with molecular weight distribution. The inhibition kinetics of PPA determined using a Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that PPA is a noncompetitive inhibitor of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine oxidation by mushroom tyrosinase. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
