The antioxidative activities of water-soluble extracts from leaves and stem bark of Morus alba and Cudrania tricuspidata were compared in vitro experimental models. Antioxidative activities were measured by inhibition activity against lipid peroxidation of mouse liver microsome, and they were showed in the following order; stem bark of C. tricuspidata(53%)>stem bark of M. alba(43%)>leaves of C. tricuspidata(38%)>leaves of M. alba(43%). In antioxidative activities determined by thiocyanate method and TBA method, the water-soluble extract of stem bark of C. tricuspidata showed the highest antioxidative activity. The water-soluble extracts of leaves were slightly stronger than other extracts in DPPH$({\alpha},{\alpha}'-diphenyl-{\beta}-picrylhydrazyl)$ method. The concentrations of total polyphenolic compound from water-soluble extracts of leaves and stem bark of M. alba and C. tricuspidata were 1.32%, 1.28%, 1.34% and 1.30% respectively. In these results, the water-soluble extract of stem bark from Cudrania tricuspidata showed the highest antioxidative activity.

몇 년전 TV에서 강원도 고성군에서 꾸지뽕나무를 농경지에 집단으로 재배하여 그 잎에서 즙을 내여 칼국수를 만드는 것을 보았는데, 또 다른 매체에서는 이 나무를 골목으로 상황버섯을 종균을 접종시켜 재배하면 일반 골목 재배보다 항암 효과가 높은 버섯을 생산한다고 하고, 이 잎을 먹인 누에를 성인병 예방이나 치료약으로 사용하기 위해 최근들어 여기저기서 소득 작목으로 대량재배가 이루어지고 있다. 최근들어 꾸지뽕나무가 치료가 어려운 질병의 치료약으로 혹은 건강식품으로 찾는 이들이 많아졌다.

꾸지뽕나무(Cudrania tricuspidata)는 뽕나무과(Moraceae)에 속하는 낙엽활엽 소교목이다. 우리나라와 중국, 일본과 같은 동아시아에 주로 분포하며 척박한 땅에서도 잘자라고 병충해에 강하다고 알려져 있다. 예로부터 꾸지뽕나무는 항암, 간보호, 눈을 밝게하는 작용이 있다고 동의보감과 신농본초경에 기록되어 있다. 우리나라는 오랫동안 된장 등 발효식품을 자주 접하고 섭취하여 왔다는 점을 고려하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 발효균을 접종하면 항암활성, 면역체계 개선 등 다양한 생리활성 물질이 증가한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 가시가 없고 잎이 커 작업성이 용이한 대품 품종을 2018년 9월에 전남 신안군에서 채취하여 분석 시료로 사용하였다. 항산화활성 측정은 프리라디칼(DPPH, ABTS) 소거능을 측정하여 농도(EC50)별 측정결과 $100{\mu}g/mL$ ext. 이하로 항산화 활성이 열매보다 잎이 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 황국균(Aspergillus oryae)을 꾸지뽕나무 잎과 열매에 접종시켜 페놀성화합물을 스크리닝 한 결과 기존에 발견되지 않은 Salicylic acid, Naringenin, Vanilic acid, Oxyresveratrol 등 기능성 물질이 발견되었고, 잎의 경우 36시간 발효물(355mg/g)은 무처리군(179mg/g)에 비해 2배정도 상승하였다. 열매의 경우 48시간 발효시켰을 경우(472mg/g)으로 무처리군(156mg/g)보다 3배정도 상승하였다. 발효를 통해 꾸지뽕나무 잎과 열매의 최적의 추출조건을 확립하고 생리활성 물질 분석을 이용한 효능탐색 등을 진행하였다. 향후 꾸지뽕나무를 활용한 식품 소재개발 등 사업화에 기초적인 자료를 제공하여 임업인의 새로운 소득품목 육성에 기어코자 한다.

This study was conducted to classify the variation in leaf and fruit morphology among natural grown 16 Cudrania tricuspidata stands. As results of the analysis in C. tricuspidata stands total 134 Species were found and as results of the analysis in leaf morphology, it was grouped as Group IV. By the analysis of variance in length, width, and weight of fruits were differed in 15 C. tricuspidata stands. The length, width, and weight of fruits were higher in Jinan and Sunchang, than Gochang, Gimje, and Goheung. By the cluster analysis of 3 fruit morphology were classified as 3 Groups. According to the results of this study C. tricuspidata leaves and fruit morphological characteristics for each group were compared by analysis there were differences between the morphological characteristics and the characteristics of the fruit did not match.

This study aimed to evaluate the anti-adipogenic and anti-inflammation effects of extract from Maclura tricuspidata twig fermented with Ganoderma lucidum mycelium (EMFG) in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with 100, 200, 300 ㎍/mL of EMFG. The result showed that EMFG dose-dependently inhibited the accumulation of intracellular lipid content in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and enhanced increase of adiponectin release and inhibition of leptin release. EMFG treatment reduced expression of adipogenic transcriptional factor such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα). EMFG also decreased production of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory cytokine [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)] and the protein expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible NOS (iNOS) in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The study demonstrated that EMFG inhibited adipogenesis and inflammation in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that EMFG may have potential as an anti-obesity and anti-metabolic disease agent that works by inhibiting adipogenesis and inflammation.

뽕나무 (Morus alba) 및 꾸지뽕나무(Cudrania tricuspidata) 잎으로부터 추출한 수용성 물질을 0.5% 콜레스테롤 투여 식이에 1%(w/w) 수준으로 첨가하여 각 조직에서의 지질 과산화물 생성정도를 나타내는 TBARS 측정법으로 항산화 활성을 검토하였다. 흰쥐의 체중 및 식이 섭취량은 실험군 간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 간장 및 뇌 조직 중량은 뽕잎 추출물군에서 증가하였다. 신장의 지질 과산화물 함량은 대조군에 비해서 뽕잎 추출물군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 뇌 및 심장의 지질 과산화에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 뇌 및 심장의 지질 과산화물 함량은 대조군에 비교해서 꾸지뽕잎 추출물군에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. 간장 및 비장의 경우에는 각 실험군 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 각 조직의 microsomes 분획으 지질 과산화물은 심장과 비장에서 뽕잎 및 꾸지뽕잎 추출물군에서 감소하였으나, 다른 조직에서는 현저한 차이가 없었다. 한편, 각 조직의 microsomes 분획을 얻어서 Fe2+/ascorbate로 지질 과산화물을 유도하기 위하여 37$^{\circ}C$에서 한시간 반응을 시킨 결과, 뽕잎 및 꾸지뽕잎 추출물군에서 약 절반 정도 감소하였으며, 상대적 증가량은 뇌조직 microsomes에서 현저하였다. 본 실험의 결과 신장조직 및 간장 microsome막 지질 과산화물 함량은 뽕잎 및 꾸지뽕잎 수용성 추출물에 의해 감소되었으며, 뇌 및 심장조직의 지질 과산화물 함량은 꾸지뽕잎 수용성 추출물에 의해 증가됨으로써 봉잎 추출물간의 차이를 나타내었다.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats received either a cholesterol diet (Control group) or cholesterol diets supplemented with the water-extracted of leaves from Morus alba (MA group) or Cudrania tricuspidata (CT group) at the level of 1% for 2 weeks. The concentration of serum triglyceride was significantly lower in the CT group and was also lower in the MA group than in the control group. The liver cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in the MA group than in the control group, but not significantly different between the CT group and the control group. The concentration of phospholipid in serum was an increasing tendency in the MA group and was a decreasing tendency in the CT group compared to that in the control group. Body weight gain, food intake, food efficiency, the concentrations of triglyceride and phospholipid in liver, and the total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and glucose in serum were not significantly different among dietary groups. These results suggest that the water-extracted from leaves of Morus alba and Cudrania tricuspidata exerts a hypotriglycerolemic effect in the cholesterol-fed rats.

Water extracts of root, leaf, branch and fruit of Cudrania tricuspidata were tested to use as natural antiwrinkle and whitening cosmetic ingredient. Root extract indicated 86.5 mg/g polyphenol concentration and 55.5 mg/g flavonoid concentration. From MTT test, root, branch and fruit extract did not show cell toxicity up to $1,000{\mu}g/mL$, however, leaf extract displayed significant cell toxicity in concentrations higher than $200{\mu}g/mL$. Cudrania tricuspidata root extracts displayed excellent 81% tyrosinase inhibition (whitening effect), 58% elastase inhibition (antiwrinkle effect) at $500{\mu}g/mL$ and showed minor UVB absorbance. When solution and lotion formulation were made including Cudrania tricuspidata root extract, they are stable at $25^{\circ}C$ for 21 days, but showed significant deviation in viscosity and particle size at $47^{\circ}C$. From the study, Cudrania tricuspidata root extract demonstrated good potential for natural whitening and antiwrinkle cosmetic agent.

Two prenylated flavonoids were isolated from a chloroform extract of the root bark of Cudrania tricuspidata. Both compounds (1, 2) showed antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus. Their structures were determined as euchrestaflavanone B (1) and euchrestaflavanone C (2) on the basis of $^1H\;NMR,\;^{13}C\;NMR$ and long-range coupling NMR techniques.
