ORYZA POLYAMINE

1. Introduction
Polyamine is an organic compound consists of 2 or more amino groups (-NH2). Polyamines
are synthesized in cells and play essential role in the proliferation and development of
mammalian cells. In addition, polyamines have been shown to exert protein synthesis1),
antioxidant activity 2, 3), anti-allergenic effect 4,5), and suppression on glycation process 6,7).
Recently, there are increasing interests on the research of polyamines.
Polyamines are abundantly available in the liver of poultry, fermented soybeans,
mushrooms and soybeans. The content of polyamines in the body declines with age
regardless of the consumption of food rich in polyamines.
In Japan, there are increasing numbers of allergies cases which are believed to be caused by
low consumption of food rich in polyamines (e.g. fermented soybeans and “tofu” bean curd)
comparing with the past.
Lately, Polyamines has been reported to prevent arteriosclerosis 8,9) and promotion of hair
growth 10,11) due to its anti-inflammatory properties and cell proliferative effect respectively.
In view of rising interested in the nail and hair treatment in the industry, Oryza Oil & Fat
Chemical Co., Ltd. has venture into the research and development of wheat-derived
polyamine. Studies showed that wheat-derived polyamines promote the cornification of
keratinocytes and the production of keratin.
Polyamines augmented the industry with new and natural ingredient for healthy hair and
nail treatment coupled with anti-ageing properties.

2. Polyamines
Polyamine, as its name implies it consists of 2 or more primary amino group (-NH2).
There are more than 20 type of polyamines present in the human body. Spermidine,
spermine and putrescine are the most prevalent polyamine present in all living organisms
(Fig. 1). The synthesis of polyamine is highest in cells of foetus and newborns due to its cell
proliferative property. It was found that polyamines are loaded in breast milk.

Putrescine
Fig. 1 Chemical Structure of Polyamines

Endogenously, polyamines are synthesized from the amino acid, arginine and converted into
ornithine which will be converted to putrescine catalysed by the enzyme ornithine
decarboxylase (ODC). Further to that, putrescine is converted to spermidine by spermidine
synthase while spermidine is synthesized to spermine by spermine synthase (Fig. 2). The
synthesis of polyamine declines with age due to the decline in enzyme catalyzing the
reactions 12,13) (Fig. 3) and in a study conducted by Soda et al.,reported that long-term oral
intake of Polyamine increases blood concentration of polyamine. 14) (Fig. 4)

3. Characteristics of Rice-derived Polyamines

（1） Comparison on Polyamine content
Polyamine content of different parts of rice was compared and results showed that rice
germ contain highest amount of polyamine with a ratio of putrescine : spermidine :
spermine = 2:3:5.
In general, spermine, physiologically is the most active compound among the polyamines,
Oryza Polyamine with high ratio of spermine is potentially recommended. (Fig. 6)

（2） Absorption of Polyamine

Polyamine has a molecular mass of ≦250, similar to that of low molecular mass amino
acids, it is absorbed through the digestive tract and transferred to the bloodstream to be
utilized. Study showed that majority of luminal polyamines are degraded in the gut before
reaching systemic circulation showed that polyamine is absorbed, distributed in and utilized
by the body.
Diamine oxidase, the enzyme that breaks down putrescine is present in the intestine
resulting in a lower absorption of putrescine. However, spermine and spermidine are well
absorbed in the GI tract in view of the higher molecular mass of spermine and spermidine
resulting in the absence of enzymes that is capable of breaking down the compound.
Rice-derived polyamine with high content of spermine and spermidine is recommended as
dietary polyamines for maintenance of optimal health.

4. Functional effect of Polyamines

(1) Promote Hair Growth
Hair grows in cycle with 3 distinct and concurrent phases, namely anagen, catagen and
telogen phases. The anagen phase is also known as growth phase when hair follicles
actively divide to form hair. Meanwhile, catagen phase begins when anagen phase ends, it is
transitional period when hair follicles undergo apoptosis, disintegrating and cutting of the
hair strand from nourishing blood supply. Last, entering into telogen phase, or resting phase
when the hair and follicles remain dormant. The cycle starts over when telogen phase
finished.
The differentiation and proliferation of hair matrix cells is regulated by a numbers of
molecular factors, namely, fibroblasts growth factors (FGF-7), Vascular Endothelial Growth
Factors (VEGF), Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), hepatocytes growth factors (HGF).
(Fig. 7)
FGF-7 Epithelial cell-specific growth factor, predominantly exhibited in keratinocytes,
directly influences cells in hair follicles which promote hair growth
VEGF Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, stimulates angiogenesis and
vasculogenesis (capillary network) surrounding hair follicle supplying essential
nutrition for hair growth.
IGF-1 Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, plays important role in growth. Suppress the
transition period of catagen and telogen of hair cycle by inhibiting apoptosis.
HGF Hepatocyte Growth Factor, regulates cell growth and cell motility. Enhance
anagen phase of hair cycle.

of hair shaft. In their study, polyamine was reported to have an activity to prolong the
anagen phase and accelerate the expression of the promoter of keratin 15 in hair follicles.
Dermal papilla cells play important role in the process of hair growth and hair thickening.
Larger dermal papilla cells helps in creating a thicker and stronger hair. The effect of Oryza
Polyamine (rice-derived) on hair growth is examined. As illustrated in Fig. 8 below, using
minoxidil ( a prescribed medication for alopecia) 0.2 g/mL as positive control, Oryza
Polyamine demonstrated a 40-60% improvement in the proliferation rate of dermal papilla
cells. The growth rate of dermal papilla cells treated with 1g/mL of Oryza Polaymine is
equivalent to 1/5 of the concentration of minoxidil. (Fig. 8)

Fig. 8 The effect of Oryza Polyamine on the growth of dermal papilla cells

[Experimental Method]
Normal human dermal papilla cells were cultured and treated with trypsin. Cultured cells were placed in
a 96-welled plate 5x103 cells/well continue incubation in a serum-free medium for 1 night. Then,
serum-free medium was removed, 100L of soluble Oryza Polyamine (rice germ extract containing
0.33% of polyamine) at concentration 1, 10, 100g/mL was added to each cells and continue culture for
24 hours. Growth rate of dermal papilla cells was measured and determined by MTT assay.

Molecular factors such as FGF-7, VEGF, IGF-1, HGF are involved in the hair follicle
growth. The expression of these factors in culture human dermal papilla cells was evaluated.
The expression of HGF was up-regulated and showed significant difference. Hepatocytes
growth factor (HGF) is a multifunctional polypeptide which was found to stimulate hair
follicles growth during anagen phase. Meanwhile, the expression of FGF-7 was
up-regulated in samples containing Oryza Polyamine (without binder) 10, 100g/mL, the
up-regulation of VEGF and IGF-1 was expressed at concentration of Oryza Polyamine
100g/mL (Fig. 9). Above finding clearly suggested that Oryza Polyamine promote hair
follicles growth with up-regulation of hair growth promoting factors – HGF, FGF-7, VEGF
and IGF-1 respectively.

serum-free medium was removed, 500L of soluble Oryza Polyamine (rice germ extract containing
0.33% of polyamine) at concentration 1, 10, 100g/mL was added to each cells and continue culture for
1-2 hours. Last, PCR analysis was carried out by collecting cells for total RNA extraction and
recombination of cDNA.

(2) Repair of Hair Cuticle

Next, the topical effect of Oryza Polyamine on human hair cuticle was examined. A
bundle of hair treated with shampoo, perming and bleaching was prepared and immersed in
a solution containing 0.5% rice germ extract (containing 0.00165% of polyamine). The
hair was scanned and observed using electron microscope. As illustrated in Fig. 10, a
lifting-up effect (cuticle repair) was observed on damaged hair upon treatment with Oryza
Polyamine.

(3) Improve hair texture

The effect of Oryza Polyamine on the texture and quality of hair was evaluated on human
monitor test:
Healthy individuals (10 female subjects, aged 20-60) were given hair treatment product
containing Oryza Polyamine (content of polyamine: 0.005%) for daily use for a duration of 2
weeks. The content of the hair treatment is listed in Table 1. A questionnaire survey was
conducted to assess the quality of the hair treatment product containing Oryza Polyamine. As
shown in Fig. 11, there was 87% improvement on hair texture reported which include
improvement in hair luster, shine of hair.

Based on above findings, Oryza Polyamine up-regulated the expression of molecular

factors (HGF, IGF-1, FGF-7 and VEGF) which promote hair follicles growth and thus exert
hair thickening effect. Ultimately, hair cuticle repair and improvement in hair texture is
observed.

(4) Anti-glycation
Promote the formation of collagen matrix
Fibroblasts form collagen lattice when culture in a collagen containing medium. This
process is suppressed when a glycation agent (glyoxal) is added to fibroblasts in the system.
The effect of Oryza Polyamine on glycation process was examined using fibroblast cells
treated with glyoxal.
As shown in Fig. 12, in samples treated with Oryza Polyamine 10 and 100g/mL effectively
inhibited glycation process while formation of collagen lattice is observed. Oryza
Polyamine is suggested to prevent glycation of fibroblasts while effectively maintaining
extracellular collagen matrix.

(5) Clinical trials

- Effect of Oryza Polyamine on the Fingernail Conditions -

Recently, interest in not only the skin beauty but also “the nail beauty” has been growing.
Fingernails reflect a lot of our health conditions. For instance, age-related vertical ridges,
horizontal ridges reflecting bad health condition and external stimuli, and hangnails caused
by excessive dryness are typical sign (Table 2).

Table 2 Fingernail problems and causes

Fingernail problem Cause
Vertical ridges Aging
Horizontal ridges Bad health condition, external stimuli
Hangnails Dryness

To evaluate the effect of Oryza Polyamine on fingernail problems, we conducted a

clinical trial. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups (placebo or Oryza Polyamine
group). After ingestion of test sample (50 mg/day) for two weeks, the conditions of
fingernails were evaluated by a microscope. As shown in Fig.13, the oral intake of Oryza
Polyamine decreased the vertical ridge on nail surface and improved the hangnails.
Next, in order to assess whether Oryza Polyamine affect the ceramide content, we
measured the amount of ceramide in fingernails. Ceramide is known to play a critical role in
the barrier function and water retention in nails. As a result, while the amounts of total
ceramides and ceramide 5 tended to decrease after 2-month ingestion in placebo group, the
Oryza Polyamine group increased these contents in fingernails. Moreover, trans epidermal
water loss (TEWL) was measured to assess the effect of Oryza Polyamine on water
retention in fingernails. In the placebo group, the TEWL value increased by 28% and 53%
after 1- and 2-month ingestion, respectively (Fig.15). In contrast, in the Oryza Polyamine
group, the value decreased by 14 and 25% after 1- and 2-month ingestion, respectively.
These results suggest that oral intake of Oryza Polyamine prevent the water loss from
fingernails.
In summary, the oral intake of Oryza Polyamine increases the amount of ceramide and
prevent water loss from fingernails. These results indicate that Oryza Polyamine improves
the fingernail conditions to support “nail beauty”.

- Effect of Oryza Polyamine on the Eyelash Cuticle -

We conducted a clinical trial to evaluate the effect of Oryza Polyamine on eyelashes

cuticle. Test sample was the eyelash serum which contains Oryza Polyamine (Hereinafter
referred to as “Oryza Polyamine serum”). The composition of Oryza Polyamine serum is
shown in Table 3 (Oryza Polyamine-LC: 1%, content of polyamine: 0.005%). Eight female
subjects used this serum for two months, and then eyelash conditions were evaluated by a
scanning electron microscope (SEM). Many women use an eyelash curler and mascara in
daily life to lift up eyelashes. This process will damage the eyelash cuticle, causing eyelash
breakage. As shown in Fig.16, the cuticle damage of eyelashes improved by using the Oryza
Polyamine serum.
Moreover, subjects answered the questionnaire about the eyelash conditions (length,
damage, polish, thickness, density and stiffness). As a result, the score of all item increased
by using Oryza Polyamine serum (Fig.17). These results indicate that the Oryza Polyamine
improves the eyelash cuticle and ameliorate the eyelash problems.
