제주조릿대 잎 열수 추출 진액을 첨가한 식초음료를 개발하기 위해 항산화 활성을 관찰하였다. 항산화활성은 DPPH radical 소거활성, Hydroxyl radical 소거 활성 실험을 진행하였다. Base 식초를 선택하기 위한 쌀 식초와 사과식초의 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성에서는 식초 원액에 비해 제주조릿대를 첨가하였을 때 쌀 식초는 최대 68.07%증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었고, 사과식초의 경우 78.74% 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 맛, 향, 단가, 항산화활성을 통하여 사과식초를 Base식초로 선택하였으며, Base식초와 제주조릿대 진액의 혼합비를 결정하기 위하여 배합율에 따른 항산화활성 연구에서는, DPPH 라디칼 소거활성의 경우 제주조릿대의 비율이 높아짐에 따라 DPPH 라디칼 소거능 역시 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. Hydroxyl 라디칼 소거활성의 경우, 제주조릿대 진액의 비율을 증가시킬 수록 활성이 조금씩 떨어졌으나, 대조군인 석류와 블루베리 식초에 비해서는 10%이상 높은 소거활성이 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Antioxidant activities of various solvent extracts from Coriolus versicolor were investigated for their total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) cation radical scavenging activity. C. versicolor extracts were produced by organic solvents such as ethanol, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents in the ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts were higher than those in the methanol extract. DPPH radical scavenging activity of methanol extract showed the highest value of 80.3%, which was similar to that of ascorbic acid (85.5%). All extracts showed good (>90.0%) ABTS cation radical scavenging activity. The antimicrobial activities of these extracts from C. versicolor were evaluated against six strains of bacteria using the disc diffusion method. All extracts showed antimicrobial activities against all tested bacteria except Staphylococcus aureus. These results indicate that various extracts from C. versicolor could be useful as natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

As part of our continuing search for bioactive natural products, the antioxidant and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of an 80% methanolic extract and organic solvent soluble-portions of Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus roots were investigated by using a bioassay system. The antioxidant activity of A. dioicus var. kamtschaticus roots extract and organic solvent soluble-portions were assessed by examining with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) ($ABTS^+$) radical scavenging. In addition, anti-diabetic effects of the A. dioicus var. kamtschaticus root extract and organic solvent soluble-portions were tested via ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition assay. The total phenolic contents of the products were determined by applying UV-VIS spectrophotometry. All tested samples showed dose-dependent radical scavenging and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory properties. In particular, the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory and radical scavenging effects of the ethyl-acetate (EtOAc)-soluble portion from the roots of A. dioicus var. kamtschaticus were greater than those from other solvent-soluble portions. These results indicate that A. dioicus var. kamtschaticus could be considered a new effective source of natural antioxidants and anti-diabetic materials. More systematic research of the constituents of the roots of this A. dioicus variety will be conducted to further develop its antioxidative and anti-diabetic properties.

자유라디칼은 반응성이 커서 세포의 구성 물질인 단백질, 지질, 당, DNA등과 반응하여 세포 및 조직을 손상시킴으로서 노화를 가져온다. 이러한 자유라디칼들은 자외선, 일반 대사, 스트레스, 질병, 흡연 등에 의해 생성되고 특히, 활성 산소 종인 hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, lipid peroxide radical등은 피부 노화를 발생시키는 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한방 식물로부터 유해한 활성 산소종을 소거하는 활성을 가진 물질을 기 위해 1차 스크리닝 하였고, 이중 육두구, 관중, 초두구, 빈랑, 금은화, 포공영, 우롱차, 황금, 녹차 추출물이 효과가 높게 나타났으며, 그중 초두구와 빈랑 90% 메탄올 추출물에서 가장 우수한 소거 활성을 나타냄으로써 이 추출물에 대하여 자유라디칼 소거 활성에 대하여 여러 가지 생물학적 활성을 조사하였다. 초두구와 빈랑추출물에 대한 hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, lipid peroxide radical을 소거하는 활성을 핵산, 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 물층으로 분획하여 조사한 결과 에틸아세테이트층에서 가장 우수한 활성을 보였다. 에틸아세테이트 분획에 대한 lipid peroxide radical 소거에 있어서 빈랑 추출물이 $IC_{50}$/ 값 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 초두구 추출물은 $IC_{50}$/ 값 59 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로서 기준물질로 사용되는 vitamic C (120 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)나 butylated hydroxyl toluene (80 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) 보다 더 우수한 소거 효과를 보여주었고, hydroxyl radical을 소거하는 능력은 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml와 150 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로 hydroxyl radical의 소거 능이 좋은 vitamin C (180 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) 보다 뛰어난 소거 활성을 나타내었다. Superoxide radical을 소거하는 효과는 초두구 추출물의 $IC_{50}$/ 값 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 빈랑 추출물이 15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml을 나타냈고, 이는 기준 물질인 vitamin C (35 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml)보다 좋은 소거 활성을 보여주었으며, gallic acid 9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml과 유사한 효과를 나타내었다. 사람 섬유아세포를 배양하여 hydroxyl radical과 superoxide radical를 발생시킨 후 초두구와 빈랑 추출물의 세포 보호 효과를 실험한 결과 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 농도로 처리하였을 때 각각 85% 이상의 우수한 세포 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 초두구로부터는 자유라디칼 소거 활성이 있는 물질을 분리하기 위하여 분획한 후 가장 높은 소거 활성을 보인 에틸아세테이트 층에 대하여 silica column chromatography, preparative TLC를 수행하였다. 초두구로부터 분리된 물질은 HPLC를 이용한 분리에서 phenol성 물질인 gallic acid와 동일한 retention time을 보여줌으로써 초두구로부터 분리된 물질은 gallic acid와 유사한 phenol성 물질이거나 그의 유도체일 것으로 추측된다. 따라서, 초두구와 빈랑 추출물은 피부 노화의 주요인이 되고 있는 lipid radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical을 소거하는 활성이 뛰어나 자유라디칼에 의하여 발생되는 피부노화를 방지할수 있는 물질로서의 효과가 기대된다.가 기대된다.

In a continuing screening of selected medicinal plants native to Mongolia, the antioxidant and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of methanol extract of Iris bungei were investigated. After extraction with 80% of methanol, the methanol fraction was further extracted with n-hexane, EtOAc and n-BuOH in order to obtain four different solvent-soluble fractions, namely n-hexane-soluble, EtOAc-soluble, n-BuOH-soluble and $H_2O$ residue. The antioxidant properties were evaluated by radical scavenging assay using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) ($ABTS^+$) radicals. The anti-diabetic efficacy of I. bungei extract was investigated by ${\alpha}$-glucosidase assay. All tested samples showed dose-dependent radical scavenging and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Among the tested extracts, the EtOAc-soluble fractions showed the greatest radical scavenging activity and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory properties among other solvent-soluble fractions. This result suggested that there was a significant relationship between the total phenolic content and biological efficacy. Thus, I. bungei extract might be considered as a new potential source of natural antioxidant and as a ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory source. A more systematic investigation of this biomass sill be performed for further investigation of activity against antioxidative and anti-diabetic effects.

In the current study, antioxidant properties of extracts from different parts of Taraxacum officinale were determined by measuring the radical scavenging activity of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl(DPPH) and 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). The antioxidant activity of aerial and root parts of this plant was measured in extracts obtained from various solvents, e.g., water, 50, 70, 100% ethanol, and hot-water. The hot-water extracts had the highest radical scavenging activities. A further study was conducted to determine the total antioxidant activity of hot-water extract fractions obtained from different solvents, e.g., chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. The ethyl acetate fraction of this extract displayed the strongest DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and the highest total phenolic contents. The inhibitory effect of individual solvent fractions on the production of nitric oxide in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells was measured. The results indicated that the ethyl acetate fraction of aerial and roots part extracts significantly reduced nitric oxide productions.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are reactive and potentially harmful to cells, causing oxidation of lipids, proteins, and DNA. In humans, the deleterious effects of ROS have been linked with aging, carcinogenesis, and atherosclerosis. In order to investigate an antioxidant activity of wood vinegar by bioconversion, we preferentially analyzed the total acidity, acetic acid, pH, and contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids, respectively. Also, we evaluated the scavenging abilities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, superoxide anion radicals, hydrogen peroxide radicals, and nitric oxide radicals. The total acidity and amount of acetic acid of wood vinegar after bioconversion were lower than those of wood vinegar before bioconversion, but the pH was higher than that of wood vinegar before bioconversion. The contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids of wood vinegar after bioconversion were 11.17 mg/$m{\ell}$ and 0.42 mg/$m{\ell}$, respectively. The $SC_{50}$ values were in order of superoxide anion radical scavenging activity < DPPH radical scavenging activity < hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity < nitric oxide radical scavenging activity. Therefore, these results suggest that wood vinegar by bioconversion can be useful as primary antioxidants for medicines and cosmetics.

As a rapid and quick bioactive compound evaluation technique, in this study we utilized a automatic system of High Throughput Screening (HTS) to investigate DPPH radical scavenging efficacy of seaweeds, collected from Jeju Island in Korea. In this study, 6 species of green seaweeds, 18 species of brown seaweeds and 22 species of red seaweeds extracted with methanol at $20^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ were subjected to HTS. Of the green seaweeds tested, Enteromorpha compressa (20G6) of the green seaweeds showed DPPH radical scavenging activity of over 60%. On the other hand, the other green seaweeds showed poor DPPH radical scavenging activities (lees than 40%) at 1 mg/ml. Sargassum siliquastrum (20B17, 70B17), Dictyota dichotoma (70B1), Sargassum coreanum (70B16) and Ecklonia cava (70B26) among the brown seaweeds showed significantly high DPPH radical scavenging activity with 96%, 97%, 92%, 92%, 87%. Polysiphonia japonica (20R24), Schizymenia dubyi (20R17), Gelidium amansii (20R18) and Acrosorium flabellatum (20R23) among the red seaweeds showed remarkable DPPH radical scavenging activity of over 90%.

Gallic acid is a representative hydroxybenzoic acid and is found in free form in several plants and in various esterified forms as a part of hydolyzable tannins. Convenient enzymatic transformation of trihydroxylated gallic acid with polyphenol oxidase originating from pear was evaluated to investigate whether polyphenol oxidase can be used as a valuable compound to improve the biological activity of gallic acid. Enzymatic oxidation processing of gallic acid using polyphenol oxidase was carried out for five different reaction times. The antioxidant effects of transformed gallic acid for different reaction times were evaluated via radical scavenging assays using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals. In addition, the anti-diabetic property of the transformed gallic acid was measured based on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. Gallic acid reacted for 5 h showed significantly higher antioxidant and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities compared to the tested positive control substances. Biotransformation of simple gallic acid induced by polyphenol oxidase might be responsible for enhancing the biological activity of gallic acid.
