Transcription factor, Nrf2 was well known to protect cell from oxidative stress by up-regulating it's dependent anti-oxidative genes such as HO-1 and NQO1. Cheongjogupye-tang (CJGPT), a traditional herbal formula was originally recorded in 『EuiMunBeopRyul』, still having been used to treat pulmonary disease such as asthma and pulmonary inflammation, in Eastern Asian countries. However, the underlying therapeutic mechanisms remain elusive. The purpose of this study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidative effects of CJGPT on the RAW 264.7 cells. To examine the anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidative effects of CJGPT, MTT assay, immunoblotting, RT-PCR and reporter gene assays were performed. Although CJGPT slightly suppressed the nuclear NF-κB expression, it did not decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, it did not increased the transcriptional activity of NF-κB in reporter gene assay. However, CJGPT upregulated the nuclear expression of Nrf2, as well as increased the expression of Nrf2-dependent genes such as HO-1 and NQO1. In addition, CJGPT incresed the transcriptional activity of Nrf2. Taken together, our results showed that CJGPT exerts functions as an anti-oxidant mainly by activating Nrf2.

In the present study, we investigated biological activities of Rosa davurica Pall. leaves in order to evaluate the possibility as a natural biomaterial. The 80% ethanol extract and its subsequent fractions of Rosa davurica Pall. leaves were prepared using several solvents with different polarities. The extraction yield was 33.4, 36.6, 25.2, 18.7, 5.8 and 5.8% in ethanol extract, aqueous, butanol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, chloroform fractions, respectively. The ethyl acetate fraction (661.38 mg/g), butanol fraction (396.68 mg/g) and 80% ethanolic extract (239.54 mg/g) has higher total polyphenol contents than other fractions. The antioxidant activity was detected in ethanolic extract, ethyl acetate and butanol fractions. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest levels of DPPH radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$, $4.77{\mu}g/m{\ell}$). Moreover, the ethyl acetate fraction significantly inhibited production of NO in LPS-stimulated macrophage RAW 264.7 cells without cytotoxicity. These results indicate that 80% ethanol extract and its fractions of Rosa davurica Pall. leaf, especially ethyl acetate fraction, have the properties of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation, suggesting leaf of Rosa davurica Pall. may be a candidate for natural and functional materials.

Background: Previously, studies have observed that the leaf extract of Cotoneaster wilsonii Nakai has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activites. Therefore, further research was conducted to separate the active antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in the leaf of the C. wilsonii. Methods and Results: The anti-oxidant effects were evaluated by analyzing the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, estimating the totla phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC), and using reducing power assay method. The ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction demonstrated the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC₅₀; 9.69 ㎍/㎖), and the highest TPC and TFC (345.98 mg·GAE/g, and 74.23 mg·QE/g). Moreover, it indicated the highest effects on nitric oxide production. Therefore, the active compound was separated using the EtOAc fraction, determined on the basis of spectral data, and identified as (+)-catechin. Conclusions: The first compound separated was made from the leaf of C. wilsonii was (+)-catechin, which produced potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
