목적 : 본 연구는 합환피약침액(合歡皮藥鍼液)이 사람 피부 섬유아세포의 콜라게나제 활성 및 프로콜라겐 합성에 미치는 영항과 티로시나제 활성에 미치는 효과를 측정하고자 실시하였다. 방법 : HS68 사람 정상 섬유아세포에 UVB 조사 후 합환피(合歡皮) 약침액(藥鍼液)가 type I procollagen 생성과 콜라게나제 효소활성에 미치는 효능과 티로시나제 효소활성에 미치는 효능을 평가하였다. 결과 : 합환피약침액(合歡皮藥鍼液)은 UVB 조사된 세포의 콜라게나제 효소활성을 통계적으로 유의하게 억제하였고, 티로시나제 활성을 통계적으로 유의하게 억제하였다. 그러나 티로시나제 억제활성의 정도는 미백효능으로 활용하기에 약간 약한 경향이 있었다. 결론 : 합환피약침액(合歡皮藥鍼液)의 콜라게나제 억제효능은 주름개선 약침치료에 활용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

By cytotoxicity screening of the 65 Korean medicinal plants against leukemia L1210 and P388D$_{1}$ cell line using the MTT assay in vitro, Albizzia julibrissin was studied. This plant was extracted with MeOH and MeOH extract was solvent-fractionated with CHCl$_{3}$, EtOAc and n-BuOH in sequence. Each fraction by various solvents system was purified by column chromatography and preparative TLC, and four compounds were isolated. The structure of each compound was deduced from UV, IR, $^{1}$H-HMR, $^{13}$ C-NMR and CI-MS spectral data. The cytotoxic activity ($IC_{50}$/_ of the compounds, quercetin-3-rhamnoside, 4',5,7-trihydroxyfla-van-3-glucoside, spinasterol-3-glucoside and acacic acid lactone, were evaluated as 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 2$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml against L1210 and as 9$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and 0.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml against P388D$_{1}$, respectively.

Albizzia julibrissin belonging to the family Leguminosae has been used for the treatment of contusion, sore throat, amnesia, and insomnia in Oriental traditional medicine. The water extract of A. julibrissin induced apoptosis in Jurkat T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells as measured by cell morphology. The capability of this herb medicine to induce apoptosis was associated with proteolytic cleavage of specific target protein such as beta-catenin protein suggesting the possible involvement of caspases. The purpose of the present study is also to investigate the effect of A. julibrissin on cell cycle progression. Our results showed that GI checkpoint related gene products (cyclin D1, cyclin dependent kinase 4, retinoblastoma, E2F1) were decreased in their protein levels in a dose-dependent manners after treatment of the extract. These results indicate that the increase of apoptotic cell death by A. julibrissin may be due to the inhibition of cell cycle progression in wild type p53-lacking Jurkat cells.

Apoptosis is a morphologically and biochemically distinct form of cell death that occurs in many different cell types in a wide variety of organisms. Ajbizzia julibrissin belonging the family Leguminosae has been used for the treatment of contusion, sore throat, amnesia, and insomnia in oriental traditional medicine. This study investigates whether the water extract off julibrissin induce apoptotic cell death in Jurkat T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. Jurkat cells were increased inhibitions of cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner by A julibrissin. This herbal medicine also caused apoptosis as measured by cell morphology and DNA fragmentation. The capability oft julibrissin to induce apoptosis was associated with proteolytic cleavage of specific target protein such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) protein suggesting the possible involvement of caspases. Our result skewed that Bcl-2 and Bax protein levels were not changed in all A julibrissin-treated groups compared to control group. These results suggest that A julibrissin-mediated apoptosis is independent with Bcl-2 related signaling pathway in this cells.

Objectives : Albizzia Julibrissin was formulated to contain various natural products known to cure erectile dysfunction. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Albizzia Julibrissin on the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity, nitrite level, antioxidation and erectile responses induced by ethanol in corpus cavernosum penis of rats. Methods : The crushed Albizzia Julibrissin was extracted 3 times, each time with 3 volumes of methyl alcohol at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The extract was filtered and evaporated under a reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to yield 45.3 g. Albizzia Julibrissin extract was oral-administered 100 mg per 1 kg of body weight for 20 days, while the normal group was administered only with a saline. The efficacy of Albizzia Julibrissin against erectile function was examined as described in the text. Results : The level of urethral NOS activity and nitrite were increased by Albizzia Julibrissin. The level of lipid peroxide was decreased by Albizzia Julibrissin. The level of urethral lipid peroxide in the ethanol-Albizzia Julibrissin double administered rats was decreased as low as in the norma! group, while the one in the ethanol-treated group was increased. The level of urethral nitrite, NOS activity, glutathione and serum testosterone in the ethanol-Albizzia Julibrissin double administered rats were as high as in the normal group, while the one in the ethanol-treated group was decreased. The erectile response to cavernous nerve stimulation in the ethanol-Albizzia Julibrissin double administered rats increased as high as in the normal group while the one in the ethanol-treated group decreased. Conclusions : Albizzia Julibrissin was shown to be effective for the treatment of erectile dysfunction induced by ethanol in rats.

In this study, Albizziae Cortex extracts (ACE) have potent effects on adipogenesis and on lipolysis in OP9 cells. There was no cytotoxicity while cells were treated with ACE in designated time intervals, unaffected by various concentrations. In the cells with ACE-treated, increases in fat storage were inhibited, and also confirmed by Oil red O. To understand the underlying mechanism at the molecular level, the effects of ACE were examined on the expression of the genes involved in adipogenesis by using real-time PCR. In this cell model, the mRNA level of adipogenic genes such as peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors gamma ($PPAR{\gamma}$) and CAAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha ($C/EBP{\alpha}$) were decreased by ACE treatment, comparing with those of control group. Collectively, our data suggest that ACE may have great potential as a novel anti-obesity agent.

한방생약재로 사용되고 있는 자귀나무 수피를 천연 항산화제 및 기능성 식품이나 제품을 개발하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 자귀나무 수피를 물을 용매로 $80^{\circ}C$와 $110^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 추출된 물 추출물(AW)과 열수 추출물(AHW) 그리고 70% 에탄올을 용매로 $60^{\circ}C$에서 추출된 에탄올 추출물(AE)에 대한 생리활성 물질의 함량과 효과를 측정하였다. 자귀나무 수피의 열수 추출물인 AHW에서 가장 많은 8.57 mg/g의 플라보노이드와 108.67mg/g의 폴리페놀 화합물을 함유하였다. SOD 유사활성은 1.0 mg/mL의 농도에서 10.46~16.73%였으며, 아질산염 소거능은 pH 1.2의 조건에서 49.86~60.82%로 AHW에서 가장 높은 소거효과를 보였으며 $IC_{50}$은 $770.18\;{\mu}g$/mL였다. DPPH를 이용한 전자공여능 측정 결과에서는 0.3 mg/mL의 농도에서 AHW가 92.30%로 가장 우수한 활성을 보였으나, $IC_{50}$은 AW($31.31\;{\mu}g$/mL)와 AHW($36.22\;{\mu}g$/mL)가 ascorbic acid ($39.10\;{\mu}g$/mL)보다 낮은 농도에서 50%의 전자공여능을 나타내었다. XO에 대한 저해효과를 측정한 결과에서도 AHW가 94.05%의 저해율와 127.78 ug/mL의 $IC_{50}$ 농도를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과 합환피 한약재명으로 사용되고 자귀나무 수피는 물을 용매로 $110^{\circ}C$에서 추출된 열수 추출물(AHW)이 세가지 추출물 중 가장 많은 플라보노이드와 폴리페놀 화합물을 함유하며, 생리활성 효과에서도 우수하며 특히 전자공여능은 낮은 농도에서도 ascorbic acid보다 높은 활성을 나타내어 자귀나무 수피는 천연 생리활성 물질로서 식품과 기능성 제품에 활용 가능성이 있는 약용식물자원으로 생각된다.

탈모방지 및 발모효과를 가지는 소재를 개발하기 위해 한의학에서 전통적으로 사용되는 23가지 한방소재를 선정하여 한방복합처방단을 개발하였다. 한방복합처방단을 구성하는 한방소재들은 예로부터 전통적으로 발모 및 탈모방지, 흰머리방지, 염증 치료 및 혈액순환개선 효과를 가진 것으로 알려져 있는 당귀, 보골지, 측백엽, 한련초, 구기자, 복분자, 상백피, 숙지황, 여정실, 적하수오, 흑지마, 고삼, 백지, 익모초, 단삼, 도인, 몰약, 감국, 유향, 인삼, 천궁, 합환피, 현호색 등이다. 또한, 한방복합처방단의 발모효과를 확인하기 위해 in vitro와 in vivo 평가모델을 이용하여 모발성장 및 촉진에 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. In vitro 상에서는 모유두세포, 각질형성세포 및 섬유아세포의 증식을 확인하였다. 또한, 흰머리방지 효과와 관련하여 멜라노마 세포에서의 멜라닌 합성능력을 확인하였다. 한방복합처방단의 in vitro 상에서의 육모효과는 C57BL/6 마우스를 이용한 in vivo 상에서도 확인하였다. 연구 결과 한방복합처방단은 $50{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 모유두 세포의 증식을 175 %까지, 섬유아세포인 NIH3T3 세포의 증식은 120 %까지 증가시켰으며, $20{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 각질형성세포인 HaCaT 세포의 증식을 133 %까지 증가시켰다. 멜라닌 합성의 경우, $50{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 154 %까지 증가시켰다. 또한, C57BL/6 마우스를 이용한 육모효과에 있어서는 한방복합 처방단 처리 4주 후 98 % 이상의 육모효과를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 본 연구에서 개발한 한방복합처방단은 모발의 성장 촉진에 유용하게 활용될 수 있는 처방으로 사료된다.
