The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of O. robusta stem extract (ORE) and to determine the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Free radical scavenging properties were evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), and ·OH (hydroxyl radical) scavenging assays. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods, respectively. Active compounds of ORE were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results of the study showed that ORE exhibited DPPH, ABTS, and ·OH radical scavenging activities in a dose-dependent manner. Especially, 1,000 ㎍/mL of ORE showed the strongest radical scavenging properties against DPPH, ABTS, and ·OH. ORE contained total polyphenol content of 57.4 mg GAE/g and total flavonoid content of 5.4 mg QE/g, which may contribute to their antioxidant effects. As a result of HPLC, the contents of active compounds in ORE, dihydrokaempferol (0.65 ㎍/mL), and 3-O-methylquercetin (1.10 ㎍/mL) were confirmed. In conclusion, ORE may be useful as a functional material with antioxidant properties.

Hizikia fusiformis is well known edible brown seaweed both in Korea and Japan. It has been intensively studied due to its pronounced health benefits. In this study, the radical scavenging (antioxidative) activities of its hydrophilic phlorotannin constituents were studied. An aqueous extract/original extract (OE) of H. fusiformis was initially prepared with heat, enzymes and pH control treatments. Then the original extract was further fractionated (with methylene chloride and methanol) and crude hydrophilic phlorotannin extract (CHPE) was prepared. The radical scavenging activities of both OE and CHPE were determined by using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrophotometric assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl and alkyl radical assays. The CHPE reported significantly (p < 0.05) higher total phenolic (phlorotannins) content (1.23 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$) than that of the OE (0.21 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$). Both OE and CHPE have reported good radical scavenging activities and those activities were dose-dependent. The CHPE have demonstrated significantly higher radical scavenging activities than that of the OE. In comparison, the DPPH radical (6 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ M) scavenging activities of all the CHPE concentrations (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$) tested were significantly higher (37.3, 78.2 and 91.6%, respectively) than that of the OE counterparts (11.4, 34.6 and 61.7%, respectively). Alkyl radical scavenging percentages of CHPE at 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were significantly higher (34.3, 69.2, 80.4 and 88.7%, respectively) than that of the OE (16.6, 41.4, 62.3 and 77.4%, respectively). The percentages of hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of CHPE at the concentrations of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were 32.5, 59.4 and 84.2 % respectively. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of OE was quite lower than that of the CHPE. Therefore, these results suggest that the hydrophilic phlorotannins of H. fusiformis are potential radical scavengers thus, a great source of antioxidative nutraceuticles.

The antioxidant activity of Juniperus chinensis (Cupressaceae) was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The methanolic extract of J. chinensis heartwood showed the strong antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of n-BuOH soluble fraction was stronger than that of the others, and the fraction was subjected to purification by repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Quercetin, naringenin, taxifolin, aromadendrin and isoquercitrin were isolated from the n-BuOH fraction. Their structures were elucidated by physico-chemical and spectroscopic studies.

장미과 식물(에탄을 추출)의 항산화력을 측정하기 위하여 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 자유 라디칼 생성 시스템을 이용하여 하였다. 또한 산화 환원 과정을 통하여 피부의 과잉 색소 생성에 관련된 멜라닌 생합성 과정의 조절 가능성을 조사하였다. 장미과 식물중에서 Prunus sargentii, Rubus coreanus, Chaenomeles sinensis, Photinia glabra와 Pyrus pyrifolia은 생합성 과정에서 dopa [3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) alanine]를 도파크롬으로 변환시켜 주는 tyrosinase 저해 효과를 나타내었다. MTT 실험법은 장미과 에탄올 추출물의 사람 섬유아세포에 미치는 독성정도를 실험하기 위해 사용되었다. 장미과 식물중 특히 Prunus sargentii의 껍질, Phorinia glabra의 껍질과 나무 그리고 Chaenomeles sinenis의 잎, 껍질, 나무 모든 부분에서 mushroom tyrosinase에 대해 $100{\;}{\mu}g/mL$에서 50\%$ 이상의 저해 활성을 보였으며, $10{\;}{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 강한 라디칼 소거 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 이들 추출물은 사람 섬유아 세포에 대해 높은 생존율을 나타냄으로써 멜라닌 형성 과정을 조절할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

우리 나라 주요 조림수종의 하나인 일본잎갈나무 심재의 추출성분을 분리하여 그 구조를 구명하고, 각 단리물질의 항산화활성을 측정하였다. 일본잎갈나무 심재의 에탄올 가용부를 용매분획과 칼럼크로마토그래피를 실시하여 3종의 플라보노이드 화합물을 분리하고 기기분석을 실시하여, 3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavanone(taxifolin), 3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone(quercetin). 3,4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone (aromadendrin)으로 동정되었다. 단리물질의 항산화활성을 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)에 의한 프리라디칼 소거능으로 측정한 결과, aromadendrin은 낮은 프리라디칼 소거능을 나타내어 항산화활성이 없는 것으로 나타난 반면, taxifolin과 quercetin은 천연항산화제인 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol과 합성항산화제인 BHT보다 높은 라디칼 소거능을 나타내어 항산화활성이 우수한 것으로 판명되었다.

Phellinus pini (CY001) 추출물에서의 페놀류성분의 농도는 P. pini (CY001)분획 g 당 GAEs mg으로 나타내었고, P. pini의 EtOAc 분획 (436.5 mg GAEs/g)이 다른 분획에 비해 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 환원력과 같은 항산화 활성을 screening 하기 위해 몇 가지 생화학적 시험이 수행되었고, 그것은 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) 라디칼 소거작용, NBT/XO superoxide system, DCF/AAPH peroxyl radicals 저해능 등이다. 여섯 개의 버섯추출물 분획 중에서 EtOAc 분획이 DPPH, superoxide 라디칼, peroxyl 라디칼 소거작용이 뛰어났고, $IC_{50}$ values는 각각 $11.49\;{\mu}g/ml$, $8.32\;{\mu}g/ml$, and $1.91\;{\mu}g/ml$이었다. P. pini (CY001)의 EtOAc 분획은 중요한 효소적 지질과산화 저해와 cytotoxicity 없이 RAW 264.7 macrophages의 LPS 유도 NO 생성을 효과적으로 감소시켰다. 또한 EtOAc 분획이 HepG2 cell의 타크린 유도 cytotoxicity에서 간 보호 작용을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 P. pini (CY001)가 라디칼 소거작용을 하는 성분을 함유한 천연 항산화제로써의 잠재력을 갖고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

This study investigated in vitro antioxidant activity of Sonchus oleraceus L. by extraction solvent, which were examined by reducing power, hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity(HRSA) and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assays. 70% MeOH extract had the greatest reducing power while EtOH extract had the greatest HRSA. The antioxidant activity of S. oleraceus extracts was concentration dependent and its $IC_{50}$ values ranged from 47.1 to $210.5\;{\mu}g/ml$ and $IC_{50}$ of 70% MeOH, boiling water and 70% EtOH extracts were 47.1, 52.7 and $56.5\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. 70% MeOH extract of S. oleraceus contained the greatest amount of both phenolic and flavonoid contents. The extracts tested had greater nitrite scavenging effects at lower pH conditions. The cytotoxic activity showed that EtOH extract had the best activity against the growth of stomach cancer cell. These results suggest that S. oleraceus extract could be used as a potential source of natural antioxidants.

Various aspects of antioxidant activity in vitamin C were evaluated in this study. Relatively high level of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was detected in vitamin C, but not in non-antioxidative vitamin, vitamin B1. Vitamin C also reduced the production of lipid peroxidation in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79-4) cells with $IC_{50}$ value of $4{\mu}g/ml$. Vitamin B1 showed comparable reduction in lipid peroxidation products ($IC_{50}$ value was about $10{\mu}g/ml$). It was shown that vitamin C also dose-dependently enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in V79-4 cells, and these effects were not observed in vitamin Bl-treated cells. Our data suggest that well-known antioxidant vitamin C involved in direct activation of SOD, CAT and GPX.
