본 연구는 제주에서 자생하는 산박하(Isodon inflexus (Thunb.) Kudo, I. inflexus (Thunb.) Kudo )의 80% 메탄올 추출물과 분획물, 그리고 분리 물질인 henryin의 항산화능 및 항염증에 관하여 조사한 것이다. 항산화 효과는 DPPH 라디칼 소거, xanthine oxidase 억제 및 superoxide radical 소거 활성 측정을 통하여 수행할 수 있는데, 산박하 추출물의 효능을 측정한 결과 superoxide radical 소거 활성에서 에틸아세테이트 분획물과 부탄올 분획물의 $IC_{50}$값이 각각 $0.9{\mu}g/mL$, $0.2{\mu}g/mL$로 대조군인 allopurinol ($2.2{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 우수한 억제 효능을 나타내었다. RAW 264.7 세포주를 사용한 항염 효능 평가에서, 에틸아세테이트 분획물이 강한 NO 억제 효과를 나타내었고, 이 분획으로부터 순수 분리하여 구조 동정된 물질인 henryin 역시 농도 의존적으로 NO 억제시킴을 확인하였다. 특히, 에틸아세테이트 분획물과 henryin은 iNOS, COX-2와 염증관련 cytokine인 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, IL-$1{\beta}$의 mRNA 발현을 농도 의존적으로 억제하였다. 이상의 결과들로부터 산박하 에틸아세테이트 추출물이 항산화 및 항염증 효능을 갖는 화장품 원료로서 개발 가능성이 있고 henryin은 기능성 지표물질로 활용될 수 있음이 시사되었다.

In this study, we investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of the Paulownia tomentosa extracts (PTE). The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of PTE were 148.98±1.84 mg GAE/g extract, and 115.33±4.16 mg CE/g extract, respectively. The PTE showed that strong antioxidant activity via -diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity and FRAP assay. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. PTE remarkably reduced protein expression of inducible nitric oxide (iNOS), resulting in inhibition of production of nitric oxide (NO). Additionally, pre-treatment of PTE significantly suppressed the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Moreover, PTE significantly attenuated LPS-induced IkappaB (IκB) degradation and suppressed nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) nuclear translocation in macrophages. The PTE showed high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. These data suggest that PTE has pharmacological activity and may be useful for the development of anti-inflammatory agents.

In in vitro study, the anti-platelet aggregation effect of Shiitake mushroom extract was examined by measuring the collagen induced platelet aggregation and the DPPH radical scavenging. In in vitro study, anti-thrombotic effect of Shiitake mushroom extract was examined using the carotid artery thrombosis rat model. Carotid artery thrombosis rat model was made by 35% $FeCl_3$ treatment. After that, we investigate thrombus weight and blood flow. In platelet aggregation test, the extract significantly inhibited platelet aggregation in a concentration dependent manner(p<.001). Also, extract increased DPPH radical scavenging activity in a concentration dependent manner. Extract significantly inhibited thrombus weight to compare with control group. And blood passage time were shorter in the Shiitake mushroom extract supplemented groups than in control group. These results provide experimental evidence that Shiitake mushroom can be used to prevent platelet aggregation and thrombosis, then could apply the clinical diseases such as cardiovascular disease, and so on.

Objectives : Ulcerative colitis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease in the gastrointestinal tract. We investigated whether Aurantii fructus immaturus (AFI) pharmacopuncture has antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Methods : in vitro experiments, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, prevention on $H_2O_2$-induced cell death in RAW264.7 cell line, DNA fragmentation, and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), were analyzed to investigate antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effect of AFI pharmacopuncture. in vivo experiment, a murine model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis was used to examine the effect of AFI pharmacopuncture on CV12 at different doses of 5 ${\mu}l$, 0.5 ${\mu}l$, 0.05 ${\mu}l$ for 10 days. Body weight, colon length and macroscopic features were investigated. Results : AFI pharmacopuncture showed DPPH free radical scavenging and SOD active effects in a dose-dependent manner. AFI pharmacopuncture showed a protective effect against $H_2O_2$-induced cell injury and also attenuated LPS-induced COX-2 mRNA expression. In a DSS- induced colitis murine model, however, AFI pharmacopuncture at CV12 had no anti-inflammatory effects. Conclusions : The present results suggest that AFI pharmacopuncture extract may have anti- inflammatory and antioxidative effects in vivo test, but further research on the underlying mechanism is required.

Culinary mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius has been popular in Asian countries. In this study, the anti-oxidant, cholinesterase, and inflammation inhibitory activities of methanol extract (ME) of fruiting bodies of P. pulmonarius were evaluted. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazy free radical scavenging activity of ME at 2.0 mg/mL was comparable to that of butylated hydroxytoluene, the standard reference. The ME exhibited significantly higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity than butylated hydroxytoluene. ME showed slightly lower but moderate inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase than galantamine, a standard AChE inhibitor. It also exhibited protective effect against cytotoxicity to PC-12 cells induced by glutamate ($10{\sim}100{\mu}g/mL$), inhibitory effect on nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, and carrageenan-induced paw edema in a rat model. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed the ME of P. pulmonarius contained at least 10 phenolic compounds and some of them were identified by the comparison with known standard phenolics. Taken together, our results demonstrate that fruiting bodies of P. pulmonarius possess antioxidant, anti-cholinesterase, and inflammation inhibitory activities.

In this study, antioxidant and anti-neuroinflammatory of ethanol extracts from walnuts's (Juglans regia L.) shell were investigated in vitro. Radical-scavenging activities of the walnuts's shell ethanol extracts (WSE) were examined by using ABTS radicals and ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals assay. In the ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity, $RC_{50}$ of WSE were measured as 15.74 and $40.13{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Also, to evaluate the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of WSE in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells. The production of proinflammatory cytokines NO were examined by LPS in BV-2 cell. BV-2 cells activated with LPS were treated with various doses (10, 25, 50, $100{\mu}g/mL$) of WSE. Supernatants were analyzed for the production of NO using Griess reagent. WSE up to $10{\mu}g/mL$ still required to inhibit NO induced by LPS. These results showed that walnuts's (Juglans regia L.) shell can be used as an easily accessible source of natural anti-neuroinflammatory and natural antioxidants.
