노화와 연관하여 설련의 항산화 효과, in vitro MMP 활성 저해능, 자외선 조사에 의해 유도된 MMP-1 발현에 대한 영향을 사람섬유아세포를 이용하여 확인하였다. 설련의 항산화 효과를 알아보기 위하여 DPPH radical과 superoxide anion radical 소거효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과 DPPH radical 소거능의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 $3.89{\mu}g/mL$이고, xanthine/xanthine oxidase에 의한 superoxide anion radical 제거능의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 $67.29{\mu}g/mL$이었다. 설련 $1000{\mu}g/mL$에서 93.27%의 지질과산화 저해효과를 나타내었다. MMP-1의 효소활성 저해 효과는 농도 의존적으로 활성을 억제하였으며, $IC_{50}$ 값은 $97.18{\mu}g/mL$이다. 또한 자외선 조사에 의해 사람 섬유아세포에서 발현되는 MMP-1에 대해 단백질의 양적인 변화는 42.86% 감소되었으며, 설련에 의해 농도 의존적으로 MMP-1 mRNA의 발현량도 감소되었다. 이러한 실험결과를 통하여 설련은 항산화 효과뿐만 아니라 자외선 조사에 의해 유도되는 MMP-1 단백질 발현과 mRNA 유전자 수준에서의 조절이 가능함을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 설련은 항산화와 자외선으로부터 생성되는 MMP-1의 발현을 저해함으로써 노화와 따른 피부를 보호하는 항노화 소재로서의 응용가능성을 확인하였다.

We undertook the present study to evaluate different pharmacological as antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of the crude ethanolic extract of the stem bark of Holarhena antidysenterica (Family: Apocynaceae). The antioxidant property of the extract was assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl free radical scavenging assay. The extract showed antioxidant activity ($IC_{50}$ about ${\sim}08$ ${\mu}g/ml$), which was comparable to standard drug ascorbic acid ($IC_{50}$ about ${\sim}10$ ${\mu}g/ml$). The extract showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against all tested gram positive and gram negative bacteria most prominent against Enterococci, Staphylococcus pyogenase and Shigella sonnie. And the zones of inhibitions were ranging from 10 - 21 mm for all the tested bacteria. Its cytotoxic property was evaluated by brine shrimp lethality bioassay. The extract showed significant lethality and the $LC_{50}$, $LC_{90}$ values were 80 ${\mu}g/ml$, 320 ${\mu}g/ml$ respectively. The results tend to suggest that the extract might possess chemical constituent(s) that are responsible for antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxic activities.

The anti-inflammatory (INF) compounds (1-15) were isolated from Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. (APL) by activity-guided isolation technique. The isolated compounds (1-15) were identified as quercetin-7-O-rhanmoside (1), apigenin-7-O-glycoside (2), kaempferol-7-O-glycoside (3), apigenin-7-O-[6"-(butyl)-glycoside] (4), querceitn (5), kaempferol (6), apigenin (7), apigenin-7-O-[6"-(pentyl)-glycoside] (8), agrimonolide (9), agrimonolide-6-O-glucoside (10), desmethylagrimonolide (11), desmethylagrimonolide-6-O-glucoside (12), luteolin (13), vitexin (14) and isovitexin (15). Flavonoids, compound 2, 3, 11, and 14-15 have been found in APL for the first time. Furthermore, two novel flavone derivatives, compound 4 and 8, have been isolated inceptively in plant. In the no cytotoxicity concentration ranges of $0-20{\mu}M$, nitric oxide (NO) production level of 1-15 was estimated in LPS-treated Raw 264.7 macrophage cells. The flavone aglycones, 7 (apigenin, $IC_{50}=3.69{\pm}0.34{\mu}M$), 13 (luteolin, $IC_{50}=4.62{\pm}0.43{\mu}M$), 6 (kaempferol, $IC_{50}=14.43{\pm}0.23{\mu}M$) and 5 (quercetin, $IC_{50}=19.50{\pm}1.71{\mu}M$), exhibited excellent NO inhibitory (NOI) activity in dose-dependent manner. In the structure activity relationship (SAR) study of apigenin-derivatives (APD), apigenin; Api, apigenin-7-O-glucoside; Api-G, apignenin-7-O-[6"-(butyl)-glycoside]; Api-BG and apignenin-7-O-[6"-(pentyl)-glycoside]; Api-P, from APL on INF activity was investigated. The INF mediators level such as NO, INF-cytokines, NF-KB proteins, iNOS and COX-2 were sharply increased in Raw 264.7 cells by LPS. When pretreatment with APD in INF induced macrophages, NOI activity of Api was most effective than other APD with $IC_{50}$ values of $3.69{\pm}0.77{\mu}M$. And the NOI activity was declined in the following order: Api-BG ($IC_{50}=8.91{\pm}1.18{\mu}M$), Api-PG ($IC_{50}=13.52{\pm}0.85{\mu}M$) and API-G ($IC_{50}=17.30{\pm}0.66{\mu}M$). The NOI activity of two novel compounds, Api-PG and Api-BG were lower than their aglycone; Api, but more effective than Api-G (NOI: Api-PG and Api-BG). And their suppression ability on INF cytokines such as $TNF-{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 mRNA showed the similar tendency. Therefore, the anti-INF mechanism study of Api-PG and Api-BG on nuclear factor-kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) pathway, representative INF mechanism, was investigated and Api was used as positive control. Api-BF was more effectively prevent the than phosphorylation of $pI{\kappa}B$ kinase (p-IKK) and p65 than Api-PG in Raw 264.7 cells. In contrast, Api-PG and Api-BG were not reduced the phosphorylation of inhibitor of kappa B alpha ($I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$). Moreover, pretreatment with Api-PG and Api-BG, dose-dependently inhibited LPS-induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNAs and proteins in macrophage cells, and their expression were correlated with their NOI activity. Therefore, APL can be utilized to health promote agent associated with their AIN metabolites.

본 연구에서는 아로니아 추출물의 항산화제와 항알레르기 치료제로써의 유효성을 알아보기 위해 페놀성 화합물 및 플라보노이드 함량과 DPPH 라디칼 포착효능, superoxide 음이온 라디칼 포착효능, 5-LO억제 효능 및 COX억제효능을 측정하였다. 측정결과 아로니아는 유효성분으로 예상되는 페놀성 화합물과 플라보노이드가 각각 $745.4{\pm}3.7\;mg/g$, $74.63{\pm}2.2\;mg/g$으로 상당량 함유되어 있으며, 상당히 낮은 농도($6.15{\pm}0.343\;ppm$, $6.99{\pm}1.26\;ppm$)에서 DPPH 라디칼과 superoxide 음이온 라디칼을 50% 소거하는 것으로 나타났다. 아로니아의 항알레르기 효능에 관하여 5-LO의 $IC_{50}$값이 $47.07{\pm}0.15\;ppm$으로, EGCG의 $IC_{50}(15.83{\pm}0.98\;ppm)$보다는 높았지만 아로니아가 EGCG와 같은 단일물질이 아니라 천연혼합물임을 감안하여 다른 천연물들의 $IC_{50}$값과 비교하였을 때 5-LO를 비교적 낮은 농도에서 억제하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, COX-1과 COX-2의 저해 비율 비교를 통해 양성대조군으로 사용한 EGCG만큼 COX-2를 선택적으로 저해하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과에 따르면 아로니아 추출물은 항산화 및 항알레르기 효능을 갖고 있으며, 따라서 알레르기성 비염이나 아토피와 같은 알레르기 관련 질병 치료에 유효하게 사용될 것이라 생각된다.

Zingiber officinale Roscoe has been widely used as a folk medicine to treat various diseases, including cancer. This study aims to re-examine the therapeutic potential of co-administration of natural products and cancer chemotherapeutics. Candidate material for this project, ${\alpha}$-zingiberene, was extracted from Zingiber officinale Roscoe, and ${\alpha}$-zingiberene makes up $35.02{\pm}0.30%$ of its total essential oil. ${\alpha}$-Zingiberene showed low $IC_{50}$ values, $60.6{\pm}3.6$, $46.2{\pm}0.6$, $172.0{\pm}6.6$, $80.3{\pm}6.6$ (${\mu}g/mL$) in HeLa, SiHa, MCF-7 and HL-60 cells each. These values are a little bit higher than $IC_{50}$ values of general essential oil in those cells. The treatment of ${\alpha}$-zingiberene produced nucleosomal DNA fragmentation in SiHa cells, and the percentage of sub-diploid cells increased in a concentration-dependent manner in SiHa cells, hallmark features of apoptosis. Mitochondrial cytochrome c activation and an in vitro caspase-3 activity assay demonstrated that the activation of caspases accompanies the apoptotic effect of ${\alpha}$-zingiberene, which mediates cell death. These results suggest that the apoptotic effect of ${\alpha}$-zingiberene on SiHa cells may converge caspase-3 activation through the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into cytoplasm. It is considered that anti-proliferative effect of ${\alpha}$-zingiberene is a result of apoptotic effects, and ${\alpha}$-zingiberene is worth furthermore study to develop it as cancer chemotherapeutics.

Plants used for traditional medicine contain a wide range of substances that can be used to treat various diseases such as infectious diseases. The present study was designed to evaluate the antileishmanial effects of the essential oil and methanolic extract of Myrtus communis against Leishmania tropica on an in vitro model. Antileishmanial effects of essential oil and methanolic extract of M. communis on promastigote forms and their cytotoxic activities against J774 cells were evaluated using MTT assay for 72 hr. In addition, their leishmanicidal activity against amastigote forms was determined in a macrophage model, for 72 hr. Findings showed that the main components of essential oil were ${\alpha}$-pinene (24.7%), 1,8-cineole (19.6%), and linalool (12.6%). Findings demonstrated that M. communis, particularly its essential oil, significantly (P<0.05) inhibited the growth rate of promastigote and amastigote forms of L. tropica based on a dose-dependent response. The $IC_{50}$ values for essential oil and methanolic extract was 8.4 and $28.9{\mu}g/ml$ against promastigotes, respectively. These values were 11.6 and $40.8{\mu}g/ml$ against amastigote forms, respectively. Glucantime as control drug also revealed $IC_{50}$ values of 88.3 and $44.6{\mu}g/ml$ for promastigotes and amastigotes of L. tropica, respectively. The in vitro assay demonstrated no significant cytotoxicity in J774 cells. However, essential oil indicated a more cytotoxic effect as compared with the methanolic extract of M. communis. The findings of the present study demonstrated that M. communis might be a natural source for production of a new leishmanicidal agent.
