Objectives : This study was designed to investigate the effect on lipoapoptosis of Alisma orientale extract against free fatty acid-induced cellular injury. Methods : HepG2 cells were used in an vitro model. HepG2 cells were treated with free fatty acids to generate a cellular model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Using this cellular model, the anti-apoptotic effect and reducing steatosis of Alisma orientale extract against free fatty acid-induced cellular injury was evaluated by measuring steatosis and apoptosis. Results : Alisma orientale extract significantly attenuated free fatty acid-induced intracellular steatosis. Alisma orientale extract inhibited free fatty acid-mediated activation of pJNK, PUMA, BAX, caspase-3, and -9, and apoptotic kinases that are correlated with NAFLD. Alisma orientale extract also promoted Bcl-2, a anti-apoptotic protein. Conclusions : From the above, the Alisma orientale extract decreased the hepatocyte steatosis and showed the hepatocelluar protective effect by the regulation of apoptosis-related protein. It proposes the possibility of Alisma orientale extract to the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in clinics.

Reactive oxygen species(ROS) or free radicals are produced in the pathogenesis of human diseases including atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, and aging. Antioxidants are associated with the prevention of ROS-induced tissue and cellular damage in the various diseases. This study investigated the antioxidative activities of the methanol extract of Alisma plantagoaquatica var. orientale and its main component under conditions of radical generation using allophycocyanin and ferric-thiocyanate assay. Alisol B 23-acetate as a main component was isolated from the methanol extract of Alisma plantago-aquatica var. orientale. In results, the extract of Alisma plantago-aquatica var. orientale showed inhibitory activity on AAPH [2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride]-induced protein oxidation. Also, the extract of Alisma plantago-aquatica var. orientale and alisol B 23-acetate inhibited lipid peroxidation. These results indicate that Alisma plantago-aquatica var. orientale and alisol B 23-acetate show promise as therapeutic agents for various damages involving free radical reactions.

The rhizome of Alisma orientale Juzep (Alismataceae) has been used as a crude drug for diabetes, edema, inflammation and urinary disturbances in oriental medicine. Recent animal studies have shown that the extract of Alisma orientale rhizome (AOR) can potently lower high levels of serum lipids and improve insulin resistance, which are usually detected in patients and animals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. So, we studied the antioxidative effects of AOR extracts and fraction in vitro and their protective effects against acute hepatotoxicity induced by $CCl_4$ in vivo.. We then investigated the effects of each fraction on hepatotoxicity induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). DAOR (dichloromethane fraction of the Alisma orientale rhizome) scavenged free radicals and superoxide anions. DAOR protected against $CCl_4$ induced hepatotoxicity. DAOR had hepatoprotective and antioxidative effects against t-BHP-induced hepatotoxicity in HepG2 cells and in rats.

택사 MeOH 추출물에서 얻은 dichlorornethane 분획물을 칼럼 크로마토그라피를 실시하여 alisol B 23-acetate를 순수히 분리하였다. Alisol B 23-acetate를 여러가지 용매와 추출 조건을 달리하여 HPLC를 실시하여 이들의 분리능을 검토한 결과 70% $CH_3$CN 혼합용매를 사용할 때 분리능이 가장 양호하였다. 국내 각지에서 수집한 택사 33종과 중국 현지에서 수집한 중국택사 5종에 대해 HPLC를 이용하여 함량분석을 하였다. 국내구입 검체중 지표성분 alisol B 23-acetate의 함량은 0.25%에서 0.67%까지의 범위를 보였으며 평균값 및 표준편차가 0.47$\pm$0.11%이었다. 실험에 사용한 검체중 재배산지에서 직접 구입한 순천시 해룡산 택사가 alisol B 23-acetate의 함량이 0.67%로서 가장 많았다. 중국에서 구입한 택사에는 alisol B 23-acetate가 포함되어 있지 않거나 0.27%에서 0.33%함유하였다. 이 검체들은 한국에서 구입한 택사와 종이 다르거나 또는 재배조건이 상이하여 이러한 결과가 나온 것으로 추정된다. 택사의 표준화를 위해서는 지표성 분 alisol B 23-acetate의 함량은 0.25% 이상으로 규정함이 타당하다고 사료된다.

Hepatoprotective effects of methanol extract and alisol B 23-acetate of Alisma orientale were studied in acetaminophen (APAP)-treated rats. APAP increased hepatic content of lipid peroxide, which was suppressed by methanol extract and alisol B 23-acetate. The liver of rats treated with APAP had higher P-450, aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities than those of normal control rats. The increases in hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes by the i.p. injection of APAP were significantly alleviated by the administration of methanol extract or alisol B 23-acetate. The injection of APAP also resulted in a substantial reduction of hepatic glutathione content and glutathione S-transferase activity, and the decreases were partially, but significantly, restrained by the oral administration of methanol extract prior to the i.p. injection of APAP. Hepatic activities of glutathione reductase (GR) and ${\gamma}$-glutamylcystein synthetase ${\gamma}$-GCS) were also decreased significantly in APAP-treated rats. The decreases in hepatic GR and ${\gamma}$-GCS activities by APAP injection were improved partially, but significantly, with administration of methanol extract of A. orientale. Treatment with alisol B 23-acetate also improved the hepatic ${\gamma}$-GCS activity significantly, but not GR.

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with multivariate analysis was used to discriminate the geographical origin of Alisma orientale from Korea (n=94) and China (n=72). Two-thirds of samples were selected randomly for the training set, and one-third of samples for the test set. Second derivative was used for the pretreatment of NIR spectra. Partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models correctly discriminated 100% of the Korean and Chinese A. orientale samples. These results demonstrate the potential use of NIR spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis as a rapid and accurate method to discriminate A. orientale according to their geographical origin.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activities and nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 macrophages in extract of Alisma orientale Juzep (EAOJ) and fermented extract (FAOJ) by Paenibacillus kribbensis AM49 (P. kribbensis AM49). Methods : The Alisma orientale Juzep was fermented with P. kribbensis AM49 at 37℃ for 72 hours. We measured total polyphenol and total flavonoid, DPPH radical scavenging activity, FRAP activity and reducing power by spectrometric assay in EAOJ and FAOJ at concentrations at 0.5, 1, 5, 10 mg/㎖. Positive control was used ascorbic acid. Furthermore, we examined effect of EAOJ and FAOJ on the cell viability and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Results : The total polyphenol and total flavonoids content of FAOJ were increased 9.16 mg/g, 2.59 mg/g to 12.58 mg/g, 3.45 mg/g. DPPH radical scavenging activity, FRAP activity and reducing power were dose dependently increased according to the treatment concentration (0.5, 1, 5, 10 mg/㎖) of EAOJ and FAOJ. In particular, DPPH radical scavenging activity, FRAP activity of FAOJ was significantly increased at 5, 10 mg/㎖. Reducing power of FAOJ at 10 mg/㎖ was similar to ascorbic acid at 0.1 mg/㎖. In addition, the cell viability and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages were significantly increased at the concentrations of 250, 500, 1000 ㎍/㎖. Conclusions : These results suggest that FAOJ by P. kribbensis AM49 has effects to antioxidant activity. In addition, the cell viability and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages were significantly increased.

본 연구는 택사의 화장품 원료로서의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 화장품의 기능들인 항산화, 미백, 세포 손상 회복 및 항염증과 관련된 다양한 실험을 실시하였다. 30, 70, 100% MeOH 용매로 추출한 택사 추출물들은 DPPH법으로 실시한 free radical scavenging assay에서 좋은 활성을 보여주었고, tyrosinase 활성 억제 시험에서도 0.5% 이상의 농도에서 농도 의존적인 활성을 보여주었다. Human fibroblast를 사용한 proliferation assay (MTT assay)에서 각 용매 추출물들은 별다른 효과를 보여주지 못했고 0.05% 이하의 농도에서는 세포 독성으로부터 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Bl6 melanocyte를 사용한 melanin 생성 억제시험에서 각 용매별 추출물은 독성으로부터 안전한 0.05% 이하의 농도에서 melanin 생성을 40% 이상 억제하는 높은 활성을 보여주었다. 이후 우리는 택사 추출물의 MPLC분리 분획을 실시하여 세 가지 분획을 얻었으며 이들을 대상으로 세포 손상 회복시험과 melanin생성 억제 시험, 염증인자 생성 억제 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 분획물들 중 3번 분획물이 세포 손상 회복을 30% 이상 올려주는 좋은 결과를 보여주었고, melanin 생성 억제 시험과 COX-2 생성억제에서도 주목할만한 결과를 보여주었다.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of Ephedra sinica (E. sinica), Panax ginseng (P. ginseng), and Alisma orientale (A. orientale) Extract (MIT) on insulin resistance induced by Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods C57BL /6 male mice (8-week-old, 20 g) were divided into four groups: control group (Ctrl), high-fat diet group (HFDF), high fat diet with metformin administration group (METT), and high fat diet with MIT administration group (MITT). Each 10 mice were allocated to each group (a total of 40 mice). All mice were allowed to eat fat-rich diet freely throughout the experiment. To examine the effect of MIT, we observed Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55), and Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Results In the MITT group, positive reactions of the CB1, CB2, and GPR55 were significantly was significantly suppressed compared to the HFDF group. The positive reactions of the CD36 and TGF-β in the liver tissue were significantly suppressed in MITT. Conclusions MIT has the effect of improving NAFLD induced insulin resistance through the regulation of the lipid metabolism.
