본 연구는 기존에 알코올 해독 기능이 우수한 것으로 알려진 헛개나무 열매 추출물과 헛개나무 열매 추출물을 주성분으로 하여 매실 및 댕댕이나무 열매 추출물이 혼합되어진 새로운 식품 조성물의 항알코올 기능에 대한 효능을 비교 분석함으로써 새로운 알코올 독성 경감 소재를 개발하고자 하였다. 새로운 식품 조성물인 SAC-1을 흰쥐에게 투여한 후 알코올을 섭취시켰을 때 혈중 알코올 농노의 저하가 헛개나무 추출물에 비하여 매우 우수한 효능이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 간손상의 지표인 GOT, GPT에 있어서 대조군에 비하여 낮은 값을 나타내어 알코올에 의한 간손상을 경감시킬 수 있는 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 조직에서 산화적 손상으로 효능을 살펴본 결과는 지질과산화물의 생성을 혈장과 간 조직에서 모두 억제하는 것으로 나타났으며, total glutathione의 감소를 억제하는 것으로 나타나 SAC-1은 알코올성 조직 손상에서 충분한 보호 작용을 나타낼 수 있었던 것으로 생각된다. 특히 SAC-1은 헛개나무 열매 추출물 단독 사용에 비해서 더 높은 활성을 나타낸 것으로 나타났으며, 이것은 SAC-1이 알코올 해독에 좋은 천연 성분을 함유하고 있는 결과로 추측된다. 이상의 결과에서 SAC-1은 알코올로 인해 유도되어지는 조직 손상 및 숙취 증상으로부터 조직을 보호할 수 있는 능력이 있는 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of soybean peptide on antioxidant enzymes, cortisol hormone and inflammatory cytokine levels. 19 high school male judo athletes participated in the experiments. They were randomly divided into two groups, one group took soybean peptide (S-peptide, n=10) 4 g a day for 4 weeks and the other group placebo (placebo group, n=9) for the same time. Blood samples were collected before intake, after 2 weeks intake and 4 weeks intake and these were analyzed for total antioxidant status (TAS), catalase (CAT), levels of cortisol hormone, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). As a result, the S-peptide group was significantly increased in TAS and CAT (P<0.05). The malondialdehyde (MDA) levels showed decrease after soybean peptide intake but there was no significant difference. In the levels of plasma cortisol which reflect stress status, there was significantly decreased in the S-peptide and placebo group after 4 weeks (P<0.05). There were significant decreases of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6 after 4 weeks in S-peptide group (P<0.05). These results suggest that the intake of soybean peptide can activate antioxidant defenses and decrease exercise-induced oxidative stress.

Objective: The strong antioxidant activity of Commiphora mukul prompted us to conduct the present study to explore whether treatment with C. mukul extract (CME) would have any protective influence on sperm parameters, testosterone levels, and plasma glucose levels in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, control animals treated with CME, diabetic animals, and diabetic animals treated with CME. CME extract (300 mg/kg) was administered for 60 days by daily gavage. Diabetes was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg STZ. The epididymal sperm count, weight, motility, morphology, viability, and serum testosterone and glucose levels were determined. Results: In the diabetic animals, CME decreased blood glucose levels (p< 0.05), increased the total sperm count (p< 0.05), and decreased the proportion of sperm with abnormal morphology (p< 0.05). Diabetes reduced sperm motility (p< 0.001), and CME supplementation partially reversed this effect of diabetes (p= 0.003). Furthermore, in diabetic animals, CME decreased the proportion of immotile sperm (p< 0.001). In rats, diabetes caused a significant decrease (p< 0.05) in serum testosterone levels (F[3, 28] = 3.283, p= 0.035), but treatment of diabetic animals with CME increased serum testosterone levels. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that C. mukul possesses proandrogenic activity and exerts a beneficial effect on sperm parameters in diabetic rats.

본 연구에서는 DNCB에 의해 인위적으로 접촉피부염을 유발시킨 후 천궁추출물을 표피에 처리하여 피부표면, 피부두께, 혈장내 성분, 혈장내 IgE 농도 및 항산화효소을 조사하여 표피의 회복능에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 천궁추출물은 DNCB에 의해 유발된 알레르기성 접촉피부염에 도포 시에 환부의 피부염이 급격히 호전되었으며, 피부표면은 정상군에 비교될 정도로 각질이 없어진 깨끗하고 매끄러운 상태로 되었으며, 표피층의 두께도 점차 정상군과 같은 상태로 회복되고 있는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 알레르기성 접촉피부염이 유발되어 체내 지질함량이 급격히 증가된 경우 지질함량을 낮춰 정상수준으로 회복시키는 지질함량의 개선에 효과적으로 작용하고 있으며, 직접적으로 혈액 내 IgE 수준의 감소에 관여하여 피부의 과민반응 해소에 관여할 것으로 생각된다. SOD와 catalase의 활성은 천궁추출물의 처리에 의해 정상군 수준으로 낮아지는 경향을 보이고 있어 항산화 효소의 활성을 낮춰 정상수준으로 회복시켜주는 효과를 갖는 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로 천궁 추출물은 알레르기성 접촉피부염의 회복에 매우 효과적으로 작용하는 천연 유용자원으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the bioequivalence of two haloperidol 5 mg tablets, Myung In haloperidol (Myung In Pharm. Co., Ltd., test drug) and $Peridol^{R}$(Whanin Pharm. Co., Ltd., reference drug), and also to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters of haloperidol in Korean volunteers. The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of haloperidol tablets were examined on 24 healthy volunteers who received a single oral dose of each preparation in the fasting state in a randomized balanced 2 way crossover design. After an oral dosing, blood samples were collected for a period of 60 h. Plasma concentrations of haloperidol were determined using a liquid chromatographic electrospray mass spectrometric (LC-MS) method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis. The geometric means of $AUC_{0-60h} and C_{max}$ between test and reference formulations were $17.21\pm8.26 ng\cdot/mL vs 17.31\pm13.24 ng\cdot/mL and 0.87\pm0.74 ng/mL vs 0.85\pm0.62 ng/mL$. respectively. The $90\%$ confidence intervals of mean difference of logarithmic transformed $AUC_{0-60h} and C_{max} were log0.9677{\sim}log1.1201 and log0.8208{\sim}log1.1981$, respectively. It shows that the bioavailability of test drug is equivalent with that of reference drug. The geometric means of other pharmacokinetic parameters ($AUC_{inf}. t_{1/2}, V_{d}/F, and CL/F$) between test drug and reference drug were $21.75\pm8.50 ng{\cdot}h/mL vs 21.77\pm15.63 ng{\cdot}h/mL, 29.87\pm8.25 h vs 29.60\pm7.56 h, 11.51\pm5.45 L vs 12.90\pm6.12 L and 0.26\pm0.09 L/h vs 0.31\pm0.17 L/h$, respectively. These observations indicate that the two formulation for haloperidol was bioequivalent and, thus, may be clinically interchangeable.

Paroxetine, a potent and selective serotonine reuptake inhibitor, has been used for the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder and social phobia. The bioequivalence of two paroxetine preparations was evaluated according to the guidelines of Korea Food & Drug Administration (KFDA). The test product was Samchully Paroxetine $tablet^{\circledR}$ made by Samchully Pharm. Co. and the reference product was Seroxat $tablet^{\circledR}$ made by GlaxoSmithKline. Twenty healthy male subjects, $22.4{\pm}2.6$ years old and $63.8{\pm}4.2\;kg$, were divided into two groups and a randomized $2{\times}2$ cross-over study was employed. After one tablet containing 20 mg paroxetine was orally administered, blood was taken at predetermined time intervals and the concentration of paroxetine in plasma was determined using a validated HPLC method with fluorescence detector. Two pharmacokinetic parameters, $AUC_t$ and $C_{max}$, were calculated and analyzed statistically for the evaluation of bioequivalence of two products. Analysis of variance was carried out using logarithmically transformed parameter values. The 90% confidence intervals of $AUC_t$ and $C_{max}$ were log 0.84-log 1.16 and log 0.85-log 1.14, respectively. These values were within the acceptable bioequivalence intervals of log 0.8 to log 1.25. Thus, the criteria of the KFDA guidelines for the bioequivalence was satisfied, indicating that Samchully Paroxetine tablet is bioequivalent to Seroxat tablet.

The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Camellia oleifera seed oil were studied. Four kinds of seed oil samples were prepared, crude oil and refined oil, extracted by cold pressing method (CPC, CPR), and organic solvent extraction (OSC, OSR). Antioxidant activity analysis was measured in 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-diammonium salt, ferric reducing Ability of Plasma, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assays. Besides, the percentage of inhibition of red blood cells hemolysis induced by 2,2'-azobis(2-amidnopropane) dihydrochlorid, the lag time of LDL conjugated dienes formation in vitro, and the inhibitors of loss in tryptophan fluorescence were all used to estimate the antioxidant activity of the samples. The total phenolic contents (TPC) were detemined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. The TPC of the C. oleifera seed oils can be arranged in descending order: CPC ($1.9172{\mu}g/mL$) > OSC ($1.5218{\mu}g/mL$) > CPR ($1.0611{\mu}g/mL$) > OSR ($0.6782{\mu}g/mL$). And the oils were investigated for activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger. The results showed the antioxidant activity of crude oil by cold pressing method was stronger than others, and all oils did inhibit activity of the top three bacteria expert A. niger. The further significance of the study contributes to measure the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the potential health benefits by the different methods of preparation and the oil of C. oleifera seeds acting as free radical scavenger, pharmaceuticals and preservatives may offer some information in medicine and cosmetic not just in food field.
