This study has attempted to examine the effect of Artemisia princeps and A. argyi on liver function-related enzymes in rats with $CCl_4$ adminisration. The activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) from A. princeps were decreased by 33, 23 and $19\%$, respectively, compared to control. The activities of AST, ALT and ALP from A. argyi were decreased by 37, 33 and $26\%$, respectively. Total phenol contents were 10.2 mg/mL and 4.7 mg/mL in A. princeps, and A. argyi, respectively. Also, flavonoid contents were $6.1\;mg\%\;and\;3.6\;mg\%$ in A. princeps, and A. ar효i, respectively. Ethanol extract from A. argyi showed higher electron donating ability toward DPPH than A. princeps. A total of 31 volatile components(3 hydrocarbons, 10 terpenes, 5 carbonyls, 8 alcohols and 5 esters) were indentified in A. princeps, and A. argyi. The major volatile components of A. princeps were $\delta$-3-carene($2.2\%$) in terpenes and nerolidol($0.9\%$) in alcohols. The major volatile components of A. argyi were eugenol($1.4\%$) in alcohols and thyl pentadecanoate($1.1\%$) in esters.

In our previous studies, the antioxidant, anti-aging, and antibacterial activities of Artemisia princeps Pampnini (A. princeps Pamp.) extract were reported. In this study, ethosome formulations for the enhanced transdermal delivery of A. princeps Pamp. extract were prepared. The particle size, loading efficiency and skin permeation of them were evaluated. The ethosome loaded with 0.06% ethyl acetate fraction of A. princeps Pamp. extract was more stable and maintained the constant particle size for 3 weeks after being prepared. The particle size of ethosome containing 0.06% ethyl acetate fraction was $287.05{\pm}0.25nm$ and the loading efficiency was $51.96{\pm}0.01%$. The ethosome formulation exhibited the greater enhancement of skin permeation than of general liposome and 20% ethanol solution in skin permeability experiments.

Volatiles in Artemisia princeps Pampan. cv. sajabal (sajabalssuk) and A. princeps Pampan. (ssuk) treated with different processing were analyzed using headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME)/gas chromatography- a mass selective detector (GC-MS). Sajabalssuk and ssuk were treated with steam distillation (SD) and freeze-dried/steam distillation (FD/SD) while controls were raw sajabalssuk and raw ssuk. Sajabalssuk had significantly more total volatiles than ssuk in control and FD/SD treated samples (p<0.05). Major volatiles in raw sajabalssuk were 2-hexenal, 1,8-cineol, trans-caryophyllene, and hexanal while those in raw ssuk were 1-hexanol, ${\beta}$-myrcene, limonene, and 2-hexenal, which implies that substantial lipid oxidation occurred in raw samples. Sajabalssuk with SD and FD/SD treatment had higher peak areas of 1,8-cineole, 4-terpineol, 1-octen-3-ol, and ${\alpha}$-terpineol while ssuk with SD and FD/SD treatment possessed 1,8-cineol, camphor, borneol, artemisia ketone, ${\alpha}$-thujone, and 1-octen-3-ol, which showed that steam distillation produced more volatiles from terpenoids than raw samples. Based on the results of HS-SPME/GC-MS, relative amounts of volatiles from lipid oxidation including 2-hexenal, hexanal, and 1-hexanol were reduced in sajabalssuk and ssuk with freeze-drying and/or steam distillation treatment.

In the present study, the antioxidative and antibacterial activities of Artemisia princeps Pampanini (A. princeps Pamp.) extract were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of A. princeps Pamp. showed the most prominent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity ($FSC_{50}=12.27{\mu}g/mL$). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities ($OSC_{50}$) of A. princeps Pamp. extract on $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ systems were investigated using a luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The ethyl acetate fraction of the extract ($OSC_{50}=0.33{\mu}g/mL$) had a 5 times greater ROS scavenging activity than L-ascorbic acid ($1.50{\mu}g/mL$), known as a water soluble antioxidant. The cellular protective effects of fractions of A. princeps Pamp. on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were examined. The aglycone fraction of extracts suppressed photohemolysis in a concentration dependent manner. The inhibitory effects of A. princeps Pamp. extract on tyrosinase were investigated to assess their whitening efficiency. The ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated a 7 times higher tyrosinase inhibitory effect ($IC_{50}=29.20{\mu}g/mL$) than albutin, known as a whitening agent. The antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate fractions against various normal skin flora were measured. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of the fraction was the highest on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Propionibacterium acnes. Antioxidant substances were isolated and purified from the ethyl acetate fractions. Eupatilin and jaceosidin were identified. These results indicate that the extract/fractions of A. princeps Pamp. can function as antioxidant and/or antibacterial agents for the skin.

Sajabalssuk (Artemisia princeps PAMPANINI) was extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_{2}O$, successively. From the EtOAc fraction, two phenylpropanoids were isolated through the repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. From the results of physico-chemical data including NMR, MS and IR, the chemical structures of the phenylpropanoids were determined as eugenol (1) and (-)-sesamin (2). They were the first to be isolated from Sajabalssuk (Artemisia princeps PAMPANINI, Sajabalssuk). Also, eugenol inhibited LDL-oxidation with the inhibitory activity of 87.8 ${\pm}$ 1.0% at a concentration of 40 ${\mu}g/ml$.

Extractions of Artemisia princeps Pampanini were obtained by using water and ethanol at different temperatures ($60^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C$) with or without ultrasonification process (40 kHz). Yield of ultrasonificated extracts were about 20% higher than that of control group. Cytotoxicity of all conditions through adding 1.0 mg/$m{\ell}$ was below 37%, and treated with ultrasonification group was lower than the other group, about $5{\sim}8%$. $100^{\circ}C$ water extract with ultrasonification was higher anticancer activities as maximum 73% and higher selectivities at concentrations over 0.8 mg/$m{\ell}$. The extracts treated with ultrasonification were higher anticancer activities than the control. Densitometric analysis of bcl-2 revealed that extracts of high anticancer activity had low density. This results suggest that expression of bcl-2 protein by adding of Artemisia princeps Pampanini extracts relative to taking cancer. To conclude, optimum condition for efficient extraction of Artemisia princeps Pampanini is using water with ultrasonification at over $60^{\circ}C$ below $100^{\circ}C$.
