Amorepacific Research Confirms Potential of Microalgal-Derived PDRNs in Skin Regeneration and Wound Healing

New findings suggest ‘BluePDRN™’ offers a sustainable, scalable alternative to traditional animal-derived PDRNs

SEOUL, South Korea, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amorepacific revealed research findings confirming the skin-regenerative effects of polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRNs) extracted from a microalgal source, Chlorella protothecoides. The findings were published in the international journal Archives of Dermatological Research under the title, “Effects of Chlorella protothecoides-derived polydeoxyribonucleotides on skin regeneration and wound-healing.”

PDRNs have been garnering attention in recent years for its efficacy in enhancing skin regeneration and wound healing. In Korea, PDRNs that have been purified can be found in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices and cosmetics. Traditionally, PDRNs are extracted from animal-derived sources like salmon or trout, but Amorepacific turned its attention to Chlorella protothecoides to develop an animal-free alternative that is sustainable and scalable.

The pioneering research on Chlorella-derived PDRNs, led by Amorepacific’s R&I Center, was conducted as part of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ project to develop marine biomaterial formulation technology. Through this initiative, Amorepacific successfully developed a production process for high-yield, low-molecular-weight, microalgal-derived PDRNs dubbed ‘BluePDRN™’, consequently shedding light on its mechanism of action and skin regenerative effects.

Research results showed BluePDRN™ displayed wound closure effects equivalent to those of salmon-derived PDRN[1], with each molecule being approximately 1/20th the size of a salmon-derived PDRN molecule[2]. It also promoted the expression of collagen accumulation and angiogenesis, both of which are essential for healthy skin. Like traditional animal-derived PDRNs, BluePDRN™ demonstrated skin regeneration efficacy through an adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR)-dependent mechanism.

Notably, the regenerative benefits of BluePDRNTM were also observed in skin tissue with epidermal damage caused by photoaging, as demonstrated in experiments conducted by Outer Biosciences Inc., a biotechnology company in Boston, MA, USA that researches ingredients for skin health.

Byung-Fhy Suh, CTO of Amorepacific R&I Center, said, “This research is highly significant as it reveals the efficacy of sustainable, vegan PDRNs derived from microalgae. Amorepacific will continue its efforts to deliver safer and more effective products to customers around the world.”

Amorepacific has applied for a patent on the production technology behind BluePDRN™, “Manufacturing technology for low-molecular-weight PDRN isolated from microalgae (Chlorella) using a continuous modular process.” The company has also received a New Excellent Technology (NET) certification and a minister’s commendation from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

LOTTE rent-a-car suggests a travel course following the famous scenes from the Netflix Series ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’

  • LOTTE rent-a-car introduces Jeju travel destinations featured in the drama that captivated global viewers
  • Enhancing convenience for international travelers by providing dedicated staff for foreign customers and multilingual support
  • Offering various services such as chauffeur-driven rental cars, welcome coupon packs, and free electric vehicle charging

SEOUL, South Korea, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the Netflix series ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’ receives an enthusiastic response from global viewers, interest in Jeju Island, known as the ‘Hawaii of Korea’ and the backdrop of the drama, is increasing. With the peak travel season to Jeju from March to May, the number of foreign tourists looking to experience the unique nature of Jeju depicted in the drama is on the rise.

Jeju Island has many hidden gems that are difficult to access using public transportation alone, making rental cars essential. LOTTE rent-a-car, South Korea’s No.1 rental car brand, holds the top market share in the Korean rental car market and is the official partner of the global rental car brand Hertz, providing verified services. They offer a systematic service system and multilingual support platform for international customers.

LOTTE rent-a-car Jeju Auto House is located near Jeju International Airport. It is the largest single-location rental car facility in the country, with a fleet of 3,000 vehicles. Operating 365 days a year from 6 AM to 11 PM, it allows customers to pick up or return vehicles conveniently regardless of flight times. The proportion of foreign customers renting from LOTTE rent-a-car in Jeju is increasing every year. As of 2024, foreign customers account for 25.6% of the total customers at LOTTE rent-a-car Jeju Auto House, meaning one in four customers is a foreigner.

For international tourists planning a trip to Jeju in the first half of this year, LOTTE rent-a-car suggests a special Jeju travel course centered around the filming locations of iconic scenes from the drama. These include Gimnyeong Beach, where young Aesoon eagerly waited for her mother, and Seongsan Ilchulbong, which showcases the beautiful scenery of Jeju.

Gimnyeong Beach: A Pristine Beach Embodying the Lives of female divers

Located in eastern Jeju, Gimnyeong Beach gained attention as the setting for the lives of haenyeo(female divers) in the drama. The exotic landscape, where cobalt blue waters, white sandy beaches, and black basalt rocks harmonize, leaves visitors in awe. Not only can you experience the local haenyeo culture, but you can also enjoy various marine activities such as yachting, kayaking, and snorkeling. The walking trail along the wind turbines lined up on the eastern side of the beach and the nearby cave exploration course add a unique charm.

Seongsan Ilchulbong: A UNESCO World Heritage Site and Sunrise Spot

Seongsan Ilchulbong, where the protagonist Aesoon performs 3,000 bows in the drama, is one of Jeju’s most iconic natural landmarks. Formed by underwater volcanic activity about 5,000 years ago, its cratered terrain is notable. This site is recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage due to its geological significance and is also famous for its breathtaking sunrise views over the open sea. The magnificent scenery, where the blue sea and cliffs blend, leaves a lasting impression on both drama fans and general tourists.

Ora-dong Buckwheat Field: A Healing Photo Spot with Different Faces Each Season

The buckwheat flower path where Aesoon and Gwansik shared memories in the drama was filmed in the buckwheat fields of Ora-dong, Jeju City. The vast field, equivalent to 130 soccer fields, offers different charms each season, making it an ideal photo spot, especially for wedding photos. In spring, yellow canola flowers, in summer, pure white buckwheat flowers adorn the field, and from late winter to spring, the landscape is filled with green barley and reeds. May and June are the best times to witness the most splendid scenery.

Jejumok Gwana: Where Aesoon and Gwansik Wrote Poems for the Writing Contest

Jejumok Gwana is where the writing contest in the drama took place. It was the administrative center of Jeju during the Joseon Dynasty and is a nationally designated heritage site and a representative historical and cultural tourist attraction in Jeju. Aesoon and Gwansik sat in front of Yeonhuijeong Pavilion in this Gwana to write poems. It is also the place where the middle-aged Aesoon wrote a poem longing for her mother. Recently, it has become very popular among foreign tourists, as they can rent hanbok(traditional Korean clothing) from nearby rental shops. It is common to see tourists taking photos in hanbok in front of the traditional Korean houses.

LOTTE rent-a-car Welcomes Foreign Customers with Professional Staff, Coupon Packs, and Electric Vehicle Promotions

LOTTE rent-a-car operates professional staff who can provide consultations in foreign languages. The official website supports English, Chinese, and Japanese, allowing international customers to smoothly handle the entire process from vehicle reservation to contract management and consultation in their native language.
