항산화활성이 우수한 아까시나무 심재 에탄올 조추출물로부터 항산화물질을 탐색할 목적으로 4종의 화합물을 단리하였으며, MS, NMR 등의 분광학적 방법에 의해 그 화학적 구조를 3-𝛽-stigmast-5-en-3-ol(daucosterol)를 비롯하여 스틸베노이드 화합물인 3,3',4',5-tetrahydroxystilbene과 후라보노이드인 3,3',4',5',7-pentahydroxyflavone(robinetin) 및 3,3',4',7-tetrahydroxyflavanone(fustin)으로 각각 동정하였다. 단리된 화합물의 프리라디칼 소거능을 측정하여 항산화활성을 검정한 결과, 페놀성 수산기가 5개인 3,3',4',5',7-pentahydroxyflavone은 천연항산화제 및 합성항산화제보다 높은 항산화활성을 나타내어 단리화합물 중 가장 항산화활성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 페놀성 수산기가 4개인 3,3',4',5-tetrahydroxystilbene과 3,3',4',7-tetrahtdroxyflavanone도 천연항산화제인 𝛼-tocopherol보다 높은 항산화활성을 나타내었으나 3-𝛽-stigmast-5-en-3-ol은 항산화활성이 없는 것으로 나타나 프리라디칼 소거능에 의한 항산화활성은 화합물의 페놀성 수산기 수에 크게 좌우되는 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과 아까시나무의 높은 항산화활성은 3,3',4',5',7-pentahydroxyflavone, 3,3',4',5-tetrahydroxystilbene 및 3,3',4',7-tetrahydroxyflavanone에 기인하는 것으로 사료되었다.

In the previous screening on antidiabetic effect of Lycii fructus by glucose transport method using $N_2$-STZ diabeted rat model, each extracts showed the potent antidiabetic activity. We obtained three compounds isolated from the water fraction, EtOAc fraction and n-BuOH fraction of Lycii fructus in the present work and their structures were identified as 1-carboxy-N,N,N-trimethylmethanaminium hydroxide inner salt, 2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione and 3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone-3-rutinoside . Among the constituents separated from Lycii fructus, 2,4(IH,3H)-pyrimidinedione, 3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone-3-rutinoside and ascorbic acid were shown a remarkable antidiabetic effect.

Alnus japonica Steud (Betulaceae) has long been used as a Korean traditional medicine for gastric disorders, hepatitis, and fatty liver. As a part of our study on the identification of secondary metabolites of naturally occurring bioactive compounds, we isolated 1,7-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,5-heptanediol(1), 5-hydroxy-1,7bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-heptanone(2), 5,3'-dihydroxy-7,4'-dimethoxyflavone(3) and 3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavone(4) from the dichloromethane and ethylacetate-soluble fractions of Alnus japonica Steud. These compounds showed significant antioxidant activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The $IC_{50}$ values of compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 30.1, 37.4, 20.2 and 13.7 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively, through the scavenging capacity of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical assay.

양파껍질중에 존재하는 항산화물질을 여러 용매로 분획하여 그 항산화효과를 비교하고, butanol fraction의 TLC에 의한 재분획 및 총페놀함량, 수소공여능 및 UV spectral 분석을 행하였다. 메타놀추출물의 항산화 효과는 첨가농도가 증가함에 따라 증가되었다. 메타놀추출물의 용매 분획물의 항산화효과는 buthanol> ethyl acetate> ethyl ether>water fraction의 순으로 나타났다. 이들의 항산화효과는 총페놀함량 및 수소공여능과 밀접한 관계를 보였다. TLC에 의한 butanol fraction의 재분획 결과 Rf치 0.20, 0.33, 0.49, 0.60 및 0.94을 나타내는 형광띠를 나타내었다. Rf치 0.94의 형광 band는 다른 형광 band에 비해 현저히 강한 것으로 보여 주었으며 flavonol의 존재를 나타내는 에서 나타나는 255 nm와 317 nm에서 강한 흡수가 보였다. Spectral analyses 결과 양파껍질 중에 함유되어 있는 주요 항산화성 물질은 quercetin aglycone (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone)인 것으로 확인되었다.

Quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) is an attractive therapeutic flavonoid for cancer treatment because of its beneficial properties including apoptotic, antioxidant, and antiproliferative effects on cancer cells. However, the exact mechanism of action of quercetin on ion channel modulation is poorly understood in bladder cancer 253J cells. In this study, we demonstrated that large conductance $Ca^{2+}$-activated $K^+$ ($BK_{Ca}$) or MaxiK channels were functionally expressed in 253J cells, and quercetin increased $BK_{Ca}$ current in a concentration dependent and reversible manner using a whole cell patch configuration. The half maximal activation concentration ($IC_{50}$) of quercetin was $45.5{\pm}7.2{\mu}m$. The quercetin-evoked $BK_{Ca}$ current was inhibited by tetraethylammonium (TEA; 5 mM) a non-specific $BK_{Ca}$ blocker and iberiotoxin (IBX; 100 nM) a $BK_{Ca}$-specific blocker. Quercetin-induced membrane hyperpolarization was measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) with voltage sensitive dye, bis (1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid) trimethine oxonol ($DiBAC_4$2(3); 100 nM). Quercetin-evoked hyperpolarization was prevented by TEA. Quercetin produced an antiproliferative effect ($30.3{\pm}13.5%$) which was recovered to $53.3{\pm}10.5%$ and $72.9{\pm}3.7%$ by TEA and IBX, respectively. Taken together our results indicate that activation of $BK_{Ca}$ channels may be considered an important target related to the action of quercetin on human bladder cancer cells.

This study was carried out to identify and quantify the flavonoids from 6 different plant parts of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum (AVP), including the flower, leaf, root, stem, flower stalk, and flower seed, using liquid chromatography/ mass spectrometry. Two major flavonoids were structurally identified as quercetin (3,5,7,3'4,'-pentahydroxyflavone) and kaempferol (3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxyflavone) at contents of 11.8-25.8 and $6.0-64.4\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In particular, the flower and root plant parts contained the highest amounts of quercetin and kaempferol compared to the other parts. We also assessed the recovery effects of each plant-part extract of AVP on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in WB-F344 cells by the scrape-loading and dye transfer (SL/DT) method. According to the results, GJIC was reduced by approximately 70.2% ($62.3{\pm}12.5$ cells) compared to the control ($209{\pm}9.5$ cells, 100%) when 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was treated alone in the WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells. However, the stem extract (0.2 mg/mL) restored GJIC to basal levels (92%, $204{\pm}2.3$ cells, p<0.01) and the flower extract (0.2 mg/mL) stimulated GJIC to 82.5% ($172.6{\pm}8.3$ cells, p<0.05), when applied together with the TPA.

The leaf of mulberry (Morus alba L) has long been used in Oriental medicine for the prevention or treatment of several diseases. However, little is known about the inhibitory effects of a single compound isolated from the mulberry leaves on inflammatory response. We are isolate a single compound of quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) and astragalin (kaempferol-3-O-glucopyranoside) from the mulberry leaves, and then investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of quercetin, astragalin or quercetin plus astragalin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine peritoneal macrophages. Each compound suppressed the production of inflammatory mediators (NO, $PGE_2$ and IL-6) in LPS-stimulated murine peritoneal macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. Especially, the cotreatment of quercetin (2.5 ${\mu}M$) and astragalin (2.5 ${\mu}M$) markedly suppressed the production and the expression of inflammatory mediators. These suppressive effects were synergistically increased by their combination. These results suggest that the combination of quercetin and astragalin from the mulberry leaves may be useful for therapeutic drugs against inflammatory immune diseases, probably by suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators.
