The analysis in external morphology of Astilbe including three endemic species in Korea was undertaken. From this study, five species and three varieties of Astilbe in Korea were redescribed. Their scientific names and Korean names were also consulted. Korean Astilbe could be grouped in two Series-Series 1. Simplicifoliae; Astilbe simplicifoliae and Series 2. compositae; A. taquetii, A. microphylla, A. chiensis var. chinensis, A. chinensis var. paniculata, A. chinensis var. davidii, A. divaricata, A. koreana. Interspecific relationships of eight taxa were represented as a toxonomic model by the considering their external morphology-pubescence on floral axis and surface of leafblade, inflorescence type, ratio of petal and stamen length-and distributional range in Korea and neighboring countries.

This study developed a HPLC analysis method for the determination of avicularin (AL) and quercitrin (QT) in Astilbe chinensis by HPLC. HPLC was performed on a Capcell Pak C18 MGII column ($4.6{\times}250mm$, $5{\mu}m$) with a gradient elution of 0.05% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at $30^{\circ}C$ and a UV detection wavelength of 254 nm. The analytical method was validated for its specificity, precision, accuracy, and linearity. The limits of detection and quantitation were AL 0.09 and 0.28 mg/mL, QT 0.03 and 0.09 mg/mL respectively. Calibration curves showed good linearity (AL r2 > 0.99990 and QT r2 > 0.99994), and the precision of analysis was satisfied (less than AL 0.59%, QT 0.63%). Recoveries of quantified compounds ranged from AL 100.57 to 102.08%, QT 99.94 to 100.64%. These results indicate that the developed HPLC method was applied successfully to the detection of AL and QT in A. chinensis.

Astilbes rhizoma has been used for headache, arthralgia, chronic bronchitis and stomachalgia in traditional chinese medicine. The analgesic activities and their components of Astilbe chinensis var. davidii Rhizomes were evaluated. The ether and ethylacetate fractions of 70% EtOH extract showed considerable analgesic activities by acetic acid induced writhing method. Compound $1{\sim}5$ were isolated from ethylacetate fraction and identified as gallic acid, (+)-catechin, (+)-gallocatechin, bergenin and 11-O-galloylbergenin on the basis of spectroscopic methods. Among them (+)-gallocatechin showed stronger analgesic activity than that of other compounds.

Reactive oxygen species damage biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, sugars and DNA, which can not only lead to various disease but also oxidative damage resulting aging. In order to search for antioxidants from plants, the antioxidant effects of the MeOH extracts from 182 plants were evaluated. The results showed that thirteen plant extracts exhibited antioxidant activity (>80%) in DPPH radical assay, seven plant extracts demonstrated antioxidant activity (>40%) in the hydroxyl radical assay and eighteen plant extracts were active (>80%) in the lipid peroxidation assay. In particular, the extracts of Distylium racemosum (Hamamelidaceae), Astilbe koreana (Saxifragaceae), Astilbe chinensis and Euphorbia supina (Euphorbiaceae) were identified as potent principles of antioxidant activity in all the assay systems.

본 연구는 노루오줌(Astilbe chinensis) 추출물을 기능성 화장품소재로 개발하기 위해 avicularin, quercitrin을 지표성분으로 선정하고, 품질관리를 위해 high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)를 이용하여 분석법을 개발하였다. 분석용 칼럼은 Capcell Pak C₁₈ MGII을, 이동상은 0.05% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)와 아세토니트릴을 사용하여 컬럼 온도는 30℃ 에서 유속 1.0 mL/min 로 검출파장은 254 nm에서 검출하였다. International conference on harmonization (ICH) 가이드라인(version 4, 2005)을 근거로 하여 특이성, 직선성, 정밀성, 정확성, 검출한계 및 정량한계를 분석하여 분석방법을 검증하였다. 분석결과, 검출한계 및 정량한계는 avicularin 0.094 및 0.285 mg/mL, quercitrin 0.031 및 0.095 mg/mL로 나타났으며, 검량곡선은 상관계수 값이 avicularin 0.99990, quercitrin 0.99994로 양호한 직선성을 보였고 정밀성 분석결과도 avicularin 0.59%, quercitrin 0.63% 이하로 확인되었다. 또한, 회수율은 avicularin 100.97 ~ 101.77%, quercitrin 100.18 ~ 100.32% 범위로 정확성이 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 본 분석법은 노루오줌 추출물 지표성분의 분석법으로 적합한 시험법임이 검증되었다.

Background: Astilbe chinensis (Maxim.) Franch. Et Savat. is a plant belonging to Saxifragaceae family and contains various active ingredients including astilbin and bergenin. It has been used as a traditional Korean medicine to improve fever, pain, and cough. Recently, a number of Korean medical resources have been studied for cancer and inflammation treatment, but A. chinensis (Maxim.) Franch. Et Savat. has not yet been investigated. Consequently, this study investigated the inhibitory effect of ethanol extracts from A. chinensis (Maxim.) Franch. Et Savat. (ARE) on oxidative stress and colorectal cancer using RAW264.7 and the human colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116. Methods and Results: In total, $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ARE reduced cell viability by $38.96{\pm}1.32%$, and increased caspase-3 activity by $133.08{\pm}3.41%$ in HCT-116 cells. Moreover, TUNEL signaling and the early apoptosis ratio ($34.56{\pm}1.67%$) increased by $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ARE treatment. $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress and cell death were diminished by $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ARE treatment through decreasing ROS (reactive oxygen species). Conclusions: The inhibitory effects of ARE against human colorectal cancer cells is mediated by apoptosis and caspase-3 activation, and $H_2O_2$-induced ROS generation and cell death are decreased by ARE treatment in RAW264.7 cells. However, further study is required to explore how ARE treatment is involved in the signaling pathway to decrease ROS.

It is well known that excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress, loss of cell function, and ultimately apoptosis or necrosis. To search for natural antioxidants able to modulate cellular oxidative stress, we investigated the protective effect of ethanol extracts of 17 medicinal plants selected from the preliminary antioxidant screening on tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH)-induced oxidative stress in human keratinocytes. The result showed that extracts of the four plants, Distylium racemosum, Astilbe chinensis, Cercis chinensis and Sapium japonicum, exhibited significant cytoprotective activity (over 50% protection) against t-BuOOH-induced cellular injury.
