Objectives : The heartwood of Sappan Lignum has been used since ancient times as an ingredient in folk medicines against anti-bacterial and anti-anemia purposes. Many bioactive constituents have been derived from this biomass such as chalcones and homoisoflavonoids. In the current investigation, the antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties using DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radicals scavenging, ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) inhibition assays were evaluated by different extraction methods of Sappan Lignum. Methods : In our continuing investigation for bioactive natural ingredients, the antioxidant and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory properties of Sappan Lignum extracts were prepared from different extraction methods and the biological efficacies were investigated in vitro. The antioxidant properties were evaluated employing radical scavenging assays using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) ($ABTS^+$) radicals. In addition, the anti-diabetic effects of Sappan Lignum extracts were tested via ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ and AGEs formation inhibitory assay. The total phenolic contents were determined using a spectrophotometric method. Results : All the tested samples showed dose-dependent radical scavenging and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities. Among the tested extracts, the 80% methanolic extract of Sappan Lignum was showed the most potent activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of $82.3{\pm}1.7{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against DPPH radical scavenging assay. While, $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activity of 80% methanolic extract was higher than those of other extracts. Also, ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory and AGEs formation effects of each extacts and total phenolic contents were evaluated. Conclusions : These results suggested that Sappan Lignum can be considered as a new effective source of natural antioxidant and anti-diabetic materials.

As inhibitors of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes can prevent hyperglycemia that is known to cause many macrovascular complications, they may prove a useful adjunct to hypocaloric diets in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Inhibitory activities of two hundred and fifteen kinds of medicinal herb extracts against $\alpha$-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) and $\alpha$-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) have been investigated in vitro. Adenophora triphylla, Aneilema keisak, and Morus bombysis significantly suppressed rat intestinal $\alpha$-glucosidase activity iu vitro. Porcine pancreatic amylase was efficiently inhibited by methanol extracts of Epimedium koreanum, Campsis grandiflora and Salvia plebeia. Methanol extract of Epimedium koreanum among the medicinal herbs tested showed the strongest inhibitory activity against porcine pancreatic $\alpha$-amylase with 0.1 mg/ML of $IC_{50}$/. The herb extract also improved glucose tolerance in ICR mice when loaded with 0.9 g soluble starch per kg body weight. Taken together, Epimedium koreanum merits further evaluation as a therapeutic measure.

Seventeen wild vegetables consumed commonly in Korea were tested for inhibitory activities against alpha-glucosidase, followed by Bupleurum longeradiatum and Angelica decursiva. The hexane-soluble fractions of Hosta longipes, Ainsliaea acerifolia, Pedicularis resupinata, Bupleurum longeradiatum, and Angelica decursiva all at the concentration of 5 mg/ml, inhibited enzyme activity by greater than 50%, and the ethylacetate-soluble fractions of Hosta longipes, and Codonopsis lanceolata, and Bupleurum longeradiatum had relatively strong inhibitory activity against the enzyme. These results suggest that some edible plants merit further evaluation for clinical usefulness as anti-diabetic drugs.

We examined ethanol extracts prepared from the Korean marine algae belonging to the Sargassaceae family for their inhibitory effects on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity and free radicals in vitro. Among five marine algae, the extracts of Sargassum yezoense were found to possess strongly ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition and free radicals scavenging activities. Two compounds were isolated via bioactivity guided isolation and tested for their effects on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, DPPH, $ABTS^{+}$ and $Photochem^{(R)}$ analysis. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and direct comparison with authentic compounds; their structures were identified as sargaquinoic acid (1) and sargahydroquinoic acid (2). The inhibitory effects of compound 1 and 2 ($IC_{50}$ value:14.2 and 12.8 ${\mu}M$, respectively) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were more potent that of deoxynojirimycin as a positive control ($IC_{50}$ value:18.0 ${\mu}M$). All compounds displayed antioxidative activity which was measured by DPPH, $ABTS^{+}$ and $Photochem^{(R)}$ apparatus.

Some biological activities such as an electron donating capacity, the contents of total polyphenol compounds and flavonoids, fibrinolytic activity and $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity have been detected in hot water extracts of Ligularia fischeri and Angelica gigas Nakai. To increase the usefulness of the functional ingredients for prevention and improvement of some metabolic disorders, ethanol-treated hot water extracts of Angelica gigas Nakai were prepared. A hot water extract of Ligularia fischeri has 92% of electron donating capacity, 39.4 mg/g of total polyphenol compounds, 24.8 mg/g of flavonoids and 29.8% of $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, but no fibrinolytic activity. A hot water extract of Angelica gigas Nakai has 94.7% of electron donating capacity, 5.8 mg/g of total polyphenol compounds, 2.6 mg/g of flavonoids, 0.48 plasmin units of fibrinolytic activity and no $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. However, with partial purification using cold ethanol treatment, the $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of Angelica gigas Nakai was increased to 70.5%. Thus, we expected a more useful effect with the use of the addition of a cold ethanol-treated Angelica gigas Nakai extract. The L, b values of cold buckwheat noodles using a mixture of 0$\sim$3% of Ligularia fischeri powder and 0.5% of an ethanol-treated hot water extract of Angelica gigas Nakai were decreased with the addition of an increasing amount of Ligularia fischeri powder. Among the mechanical qualities, only adhesiveness was significantly higher in 3% Ligularia fischeri noodles. From sensory evaluation data, it was determined that these two functional ingredients did not ruin the color, texture, and overall acceptance of the cold buckwheat noodles. A higher amount of the extracts improved the quality of the product with little added cost.

참모자반 분획물은 극성에 따라 핵산, 메탄올, 부탄올 및 수층 순으로 분획하여 4개의 분획층을 얻었으며, 각 분획층의 생리활성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 항산화 활성은 DPPH radical 소거능과 SOD 활성을 측정한 결과 모두 농도 의존적으로 증가하였으며 특히 메탄올 분획 층에서 가장 높은 항산화 효과를 보였다. 아질산염 소거능 실험에서는 부탄올 층이 pH 1.2에서 57.8%로 4개의 분획물중 가장 높은 아질산염 소거능을 나타냈다. 숙취 해소능을 측정하기 위하여 ADH 활성과 ALDH 활성을 측정하였다. 대조구로 사용한 흡광도 값을 100으로 하였을 때 positive control로 사용한 hepos가 150~167%의 활성을 나타내었으며 4가지 분획층 모두 농도 의존적으로 활성이 증가하였다. 특히 ALDH에서는 메탄올 분획층이 10 mg/ml 농도에서 167.4%의 활성을 나타내어 hepos와 비슷한 효과를 보였다. 참모자반 분획물의 혈당강하 효과는 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성억제 효과로 측정하였다. ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성억제 효과는 핵산 분획층에서 2 mg/ml의 농도에서 94.1%로 아주 높은 항당뇨 효과를 나타내었다. 그런데 부탄올층, 메탄올층 및 수층은 혈당강하효과가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 피부주름예방을 측정하기 위하여 수행한 elastase 저해효과 실험에서 메탄올 분획층에서 농도 의존적으로 높은 주름개선효과가 나타났으며 2 mg/ml 농도에서 93.2%의 효과를 나타냈으며, positive control로 사용한 Vit. C (1 mg/ml) 보다 더 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 모자반 메탄올 추출물 중 특히 메탄올 분획층이 탁월한 주름개선 효과, 숙취 해소능과 항산화 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, 핵산층은 혈당강하 효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 모자반 유기용매 분획물은 천연 기능성소재로서의 사용 가능성이 매우 높을 것으로 사료된다.

For the purpose of developing new anti-HIV agents from natural sources, the extracts of Solanum nigrum L. were tested for their inhibitory effects on HIV-1 replication and its essential enzymes as the reverse transcriptase (RT), protease and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. In the assay of HIV-1-infected human T-cell line, water extracts inhibited the HIV- 1 -induced cytopathic effects with IC (inhibitory concentration) of 100 ug/ml. Moreover water extracts (100ug/ml) of aerial parts showed strong activity of 32.6% on anti-HIV-1 PR using the activity of the enzyme to cleave an oligopeptide. In the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibition assay, aqueous extract a inhibited 17.4%, but no glucosidase inhibitory activities. We found out this result, for these samples it is possible that the inhibition of the viral replication in vitro is due to the inhibition at least one of PR and RT. It would be of great interest to identify the compounds which are responsible for this inhibition, since all therapeutically useful agent up to date are PR, RT and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitors.

묵나물 형태의 삼나물, 미역취, 다래순, 방풍나물, 생채인 참나물의 75% 에탄올 추출물의 산화 방지 활성, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase와 pancreatic lipase 저해 활성을 평가하고 폴리페놀 화합물, 플라보노이드, 토코페롤 함량을 구하여 이들 활성과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성은 삼나물과 다래순에서, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성은 삼나물, 다래순, 방풍나물에서, pancreatic lipase 저해 활성은 미역취와 다래순에서 높았다. 삼나물 추출물은 폴리페놀 화합물과 플라보노이드 함량이 매우 높았으며, 다래순 추출물은 다른 산채에 비해 토코페롤 함량이 높았다. 산채 추출물의 산화 방지 성분 함량과 in vitro 활성 사이의 상관관계는 플라보노이드와 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성 사이의 상관관계($r^2=0.8895$)를 제외하고는 높지 않았으나, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase와 pancreatic lipase 저해활성이 높았던 삼나물과 다래순은 항당뇨, 항비만 활성을 가진 잠재적인 식품 자원으로 기대되었다.
