Stems and roots of Acanthopanax koreanum Nakai were extracted with water and treated on immune cells in order to determine their immunomodulatory activites. Various Th-1 type cytokines were measured using ELISA including interleukin (IL)-2, IL-12, interferon-gamma (IFN-$gamma$), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$) secreted by dendritic cells, T-cells, intestinal epithelial cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages. As a result, there was a significant increase in IL-12 and IFN-$\gamma$, secretion, but there was no change in the secretion of TNF-$alpha$. Additionally T-cells slightly increased the secretion of IL-2, but there was a significant increase of IL-2 in intestinal epithelial cells. Therefore, our results suggest that A. koreanum Nakai may act as an immunomodulator by stimulating the cell-mediated immunity which can help the immune system defend against infections or cancer cells.

본 연구는 1997년 9월부터 1998년 8월까지 지리산과 한라산 일대에 분포하는 지리산오갈피군락과 섬오갈피 -곰솔군락 자생지의 생육특성과 식생을 조사하였다. 지리산오갈피군락은 지리산 노고단(1507m)과 반야봉 방향의 임걸령재(1300m)주변과 한라산 1100고지 주변에서 군락을 이루고 있었다. 구성종중 신갈나무, 오미자, 산수구, 당단풍, 관중, 노루삼, 산꿩의 다리,구상나무, 새 등이 상재도가 비교적 높게 나타났다. 지리산과 한라산지역에서 공동으로 출현한 종은 당단풍, 관중, 작살나무, 담쟁이덩굴, 고로쇠나무, 곰취, 애기나리, 졸방제비꽃, 이삭바꽃 등이 나타났다. 섬오갈피-곰솔군락은 제주도 외도 월태부락주변에서 소규모군락을 이루고 있었다. 이 지역에는 각시마, 사위질방, 으름, 실고사리 , 마삭줄, 계요등, 여우팥, 까마귀머루, 송악 등의 만경식물이 교목과 아교목층에 곰솔, 산팽나무, 예덕나무 등을 중심으로 혼생하고 있었다. 현재 본 조사지역에 더 이상 인위적인 변화가 일어나지 않는다면 이 지역에 분포하는 지리산오갈피는 구상나무-지리산오갈피군락으로 변화가 예상된다. 조사지역의 토양환경은 섬오갈피군락에서는 pH는 6.56, 전기전도도는 0.258mm ho/cm로 높고, 지리산오갈피군락에서는 유기물함량 25.16-25.35%와 총질소 7.58-9.30mg/g으로 높았다. 한라산과 지리산의 지리산오갈피군락에서는 한라산에서 pH 5.76, 전기전도도 0.238mmho/cm, 총질소 9.30mg/g, 총인 0.126mg/g으로 높게 나타났다.

Some pharmacological activities of acanthoic acid, isolated from Acanthopanax koreanum root was investigated in animals. It is revealed that the compound had analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities without actions on central nervous system and showed inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The anti-inflammatory activity might be related to inhibition of prostaglandin E$_2$ synthesis in exudates of inflammation.

From tire root bark of Accnthopanax koreanum a new diterpene glycoside, mp $212{\sim}214^{\circ}$, was isolated. The structure was established as 15(R),16-dihydroxypimar-9(11)-ene-19-oic acid ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl ester (sumogaside) oil the basis of spectroscopic methods and chemical transformation.

탐라오갈피 나무의 수확시기와 부위에 따른 eleutheroside 함량의 변화를 분석하였다. 9월에 수확한 탐라오갈피 나무의 부위별 eleutheroside B의 함량은 줄기에서 549.2 ppm으로 가장 높았고, 뿌리 및 잎에서는 각각 483.2 ppm, 255.9 ppm으로 잎에서 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. eleutheroside E도 줄기에서 653.1 ppm으로 뿌리보다 높았으며, 잎에서는 검출되지 않아 잎에는 eleutheroside E가 거의 함유되어 있지 않았다. 나무의 수령이 많아질수록 eleutheroside B와 eleutheroside E함량이 모두 많아졌으며, eleutheroside B 함량은 5년생이 567.3 ppm으로 1년생보다 약 1.6배 많았다.

Two glycosides, assumed to be one of the potential active principles, is isolate from the root bark of Acanthopanax koreanu Nakai, identified to be acanthoside D, $C_{34}H_{46}O_{18}$, mp $242^{\circ}C$, and syringo side, $C_{17}H_{24}O_{9}$ mp $192^{\circ}C$. Acanthoside D has been found to have s-GPT, s-GOT lowering effect, BSP-retention rate and survival rate in the toxic state through the bio-pharmacological experiments.

Acanthopanax koreanum Nakai, a well known traditional herb grown in Jeju Island, South of Korea, has been used as a tonic and sedative agent, as well as in the treatment of diabetes and immune diseases. Mutagenicity of two lignans, syringaresinol and tortoside A isolated from A. koreanum, was assessed using Salmonella/microsome (Ames) test. Tester strains used were Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA. The mutagenic activity was determined both in the absence or presence of S9 mixture. As a result, tortoside A did not cause any increase in the number of $his^+$ revertants in S. typhimurium and E. coli WP2uvrA strains in the presence or absence of S9 mix, compared to the controls. Similarly, low concentrations of syringaresinol (750 and 1,500 ${\mu}g$/plate) did not show any mutagenic properties in all bacterial strains, in the presence or absence of S9 mixture. However, in the high concentration of syringaresinol (3,000 ${\mu}g$/plate), the number of revertants were increased in TA1535 strains, in the absence of S9 metabolic activation. Therefore, in vivo experiments such as comet assay are needed to further determine the genotoxic/carciogenic potential of syringaresinol isolated from A. koreanum.

High-performance liquid chromatography was performed in order to analyze the changes in the flavonoid content (rutin, hyperin, afzelin, quercetin, and kaempferol) of Acanthopanax divaricatus and A. koreanum, in response to different cultivation methods (pinching height, planting time, and top dressing). The total flavonoid content of A. divaricatus and A. koreanum ranged from 0.201 to 0.690 mg/g with different pinching heights, 0.143 to 1.001 mg/g for different planting times, and 0.156 to 1.074 mg/g depending on the rate of fertilizer application. In both A. divaricatus and A. koreanum, the total flavonoid content in the upper section of the plant was greater than that in the lower section. These results demonstrate which cultivation methods maximize the flavonoid content of A. divaricatus and A. koreanum, and thus help to optimize flavonoid yields to improve production for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical applications.

This study was conducted to enhance the propagation of Acanthopanax divaricatus and Acanthopanax koreanum through different cutting practices. For propagation by cuttings, scions were taken on September 1. This already has hard skin and showed much higher values in terms of root length, root number, rooting ratio and root weight than those taken on June 30 and August 1. Regardless of cutting date, 50% shading resulted to the highest root length, root number, root ratio and root weight. Meanwhile, 95% shading significantly reduced these parameters compared with no shading. These results suggest that over-shading may inhibit root growth. Two growth regulators, IBA (concentration of 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 ppm) and Rootone-F (0.4%) were also tested of its effect to the cuttings. Rootone-F was found to be more effective than IBA. Cutting treated with Rootone-F had slightly higher root length and root number. A. koreanum which grows well in hot climatic condition showed better rooting ability than A. divaricatus.
