This study was performed to certify the inhibitory effect of aqueous extracts from sixty-seven medicinal plants on the activity of xanthine oxidase in vitro. Among the sixty-seven medicinal plants, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Citrus aurantium L., Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., Pueraria thunbergiana (Sieb. et Zucc.) Benth., Citrus unshiu Marcor., Rubus coreanus Miquel, Camellia sinensis L., and Poncirus trifoliata Raf. were regarded as effective anti-gout sources. The active substances of P. multiflorum root extract were very stable at pH 2.0 and high temperatures. Xanthine oxidase activity was proportionally inhibited when concentrations of P. multiflorum extract increased. The aqueous extract from P. multiflorum root at a concentration of 2.0 mg/0.1 mL inhibited xanthine oxidase by 73.8%.

Phytoestrogens are one of quasi-estrogens which are not generated within the endocrine system, but consumed by intaking phytoestrogenic plants. Phytoestrogens, also called as "dietary estrogens", are various botanic chemical compound groups naturally occurring nonsteroidal plant compounds of spontaneous generation. Due to their structural similarities to estrogone, they may provide desirable health benefits for reducing the menopausal symptoms. In this paper, various phytoestrogens were extracted from sophora root, pomegranate and kudzu by ultrasonic extraction process. In this study, the amount of extracted phytoestrogens at various ultrasonic power strengths and extraction times were compared, which could be used as basic data in the study of biology and chemistry related to natural products.

In this study, we searched for bioactive compounds from natural resources with a supercritical extract. We selected the extracts of Chrysanthemum zawadskii, Lufa cylindrica, Paeonia lactiflora, Gardenia jasminoides and Scutellaria baicalensis, as natural materials, and evaluated the effects of their skin barrier function. We found that these extracts increased the transactivation activity of the PPAR-responsive element (PPRE) and the anti-oxidation with different priorities, respectively. In addition, these extracts promoted the expression of proteins related to cornified envelope (CE) formation, such as involucrin. From these results, we suggest that natural materials from supercritical extracts will be pertinent candidates for the improvement of the epidermal permeability barrier function.

79종의 식물재료의 Alternaria alternata에 대한 항균활성을 조사한 결과, 7가지 식물재료가 항균활성이 있었고, 11가지는 확실치 않았으며, 나머지 61가지는 항균활성이 나타나지 않았다. A. alternata에 항균활성이 나타난 7가지 식물재료 중 계피가 활성이 가장 높았으며, 오미지와 천궁이 중정도의 활성을 보였으며, 나머지는 약한 활성을 나타내었다. 항균 활성 성분은 계피와 천궁의 경우는 diethyl ether에 분리되었고, 오미자의 경우는 butanol에 분리되었다. 계피의 diethyl ether 추출물은 1,000 배액 이하에서 식별 가능한 항균활성이 나타났다. 계피의 성분으로 cinnam aldehyde가 가장 높은 활성을 보여, 이 물질이 계피의 주요 항균물질로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to clarify the effects of different natural mordants and mordanting methods on the dyeing degree of silk using extracts from Coreopsis drummondii. Surface colors were shown as an order of descent Y in control, and an order of descent Y and YR treated by mordants. Extracts from Coreopsis drummondii was sufficient for the natural dyestuffs. $10\%,\;20\%\;and\;30\%$ mordants made from lime-juice of Camellia japonica, oyster shells. and Symplocos chinensis (Lour) Druce for. pilosa (Nakai) Ohwi were used for the dyeing of silk. Surface color of silk was not affected by the concentration of mordants and mordanting methods, however, $20\%$ mordant was suitable for the dye coloring. It was shown that dye coloring concentrations were highly in the order of mordanting later > mordanting ahead > co-mordanting, and so on. Silks were naturally dyed by the extracts from Coreopsis drummondii, and twenty-nine kinds of natural mordants were treated and screened. Surface color of silk was shown as an order of descent YR treated by the mordants made from the lime-juice of Camellia japonica and Eurya japonica, and as an order of descent Y by the other mordants. By the treatment of natural mordants, concentrations of dye coloring were significantly increased compared with control (none-mordanting), and the potentials as a natural mordant for the effective dye coloring was sufficiently ascertained.

Bioactivities of Korean ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba L.) extract were investigated against several fungi, general bacteria and insect pests. Crude methanolic extracts of different parts of Korean ginkgo showed different bioactivities depending on the target organisms. The methanolic extract showed in vitro antimicrobial activity at dose of 200 ug per paper disc. The extract of ginkgo stalk was some higher than seed coat and root. The extract also showed a remarkable in vivo antifungal activity against green mold (Trichoderma harzianum) on compost surface of spawn bags and in vivo insecticidal activity to Nilaparvata lugens, Plutella xylostella and Tetranychus urticae. This study suggests that Korean ginkgo extracts have a potential as a natural pesticide.

In this study, a functional study was conducted to confirm the inhibitory effect of IL-6 and TFN-α, which are allergic inflammation inhibitory effects, using natural extracts 640 types of substances. Of the 640 types, 36 substances showed 100% cell viability, and among the extracts showing the IL-6 inhibitory effect, 8 substances showed an inhibitory effect similar to that of cyclosporin A, and 5 substances showed an inhibitory effect on TFN-α. In particular, two types of extracts showing a common inhibitory effect on IL-6 and TFN-α showed an anti-allergic anti-inflammatory effect and a strong anti-allergic anti-inflammatory effect in Hagocho and Snow lotus extract. It is thought that these contents can be used as a functional natural cosmetic material for allergy-inflammation suppression using natural extracts.

To develop natural food preservatives, methanol and water extracts were prepared from the Suaeda maritima and their antibacterial activities were examined against 12 microorganisms which were food borne pathogens bacteria, food poisoning microorganisms and food-related bacteria. Methanol extracts exhibited antibacterial activities for the 5 Gram positve and 7 Gram negative bacteria by agar diffusion method, The antibacterial activities and cell growth inhibition were investigated on each strain with the different concentrations of Suaeda maritima extracts. Antibacterial activities were shown in root, stem, furit extracts of Suaeda maritima. However stem and fruit extracts showed weak antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms. Root extracts showed the highest antibacterial activities against microorganisms tested, such as Bacillus cereus,Bacillus subtilis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus. The highest antibacterial activity against bacteria test was found in the methanol extract.

제주도에서 재배되어 온 재래귤 5종(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량 측정, 총 플라보노이드 함량 측정, DPPH radical 소거 활성 실험을 실시하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량의 경우, 5종 재래귤(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물 가운데 당유자의 외피(244.84mg/g)와 중피(200.70mg/g) 처리구에서 폴리페놀 함량이 가장 높았다. 총 플라보노이드 함량의 경우, 총 폴리페놀의 함량 측정에서와 마찬가지로 5종 재래귤(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물 가운데 당유자의 외피에서 102.12mg/g으로 가장 높았으며, 청견과 하귤, 팔삭의 플라보노이드 함량은 폴리페놀 처리구와 같이 당유자 처리구보다 적게 나타났다. DPPH radical 소거 활성의 경우, 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량 측정의 결과에 같은 경향으로 5종 재래귤(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물 가운데 당유자의 외피(79.39%)와 중피(70.73%)에서 가장 양호한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들로부터 당유자의 두꺼운 과피 구조인 외피와 중피에 에센셜 성분인 limonene, myrcene, β-ocimenes 등과 같은 향기성분들의 영향으로 생각되어 앞으로 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요하리라 생각된다.
