천연 갈색 염모제를 개발하기 위하여 한국자생 거북꼬리 추출물로 염색한 머리카락의 염색성 조사와 함께 세정횟수에 따른 색깔변화를 화학 염모제로 염색한 머리카락과 비교하였다. 거북꼬리 추출물로 머리카락을 염색한 결과 대조구에 비해 ${\Delta}E$값이 11이상 나타났으며, 모두 YR계열로 염색이 되었다. 매염제 처리에 따른 ${\Delta}E$ 값은 사스레피나무 회즙을 사용했을 때 15.52로 가장 크게 나타났다. 거북꼬리 추출물로 머리카락을 염색 후 세정 횟수에 따른 L값은 사스레피나무 회즙처리구에서 가장 낮았고, a, b 및 $\Delta$ 값은 사스레피나무 회즙처리구에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 염색한 머리카락을 30회 세정한 결과 L값은 화학염모제로 염색한 머리카락 보다 거북꼬리 추출물(사스레피나무 회즙 매염)로 염색한 것에서 낮게 나타났다. 염색한 머리카락의 세정횟수에 따른 a, b, 및 ${\Delta}E$값의 변화는 화학염모제로 염색한 머리카락 보다 거북꼬리 추출물(사스레피나무 회즙 매염)로 염색한 것에서 적게 나타났다. 따라서 거북꼬리 추출물은 천연 갈색 염모제로서 실용성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Seven species and two varieties belonging to the genus Boehmeria Jacq. (Urticaceae) are known to be distributed in Korea. Among them, B. spicata, B. tricuspis, and B. tricuspis var. unicuspis were subjected to an external morphological study. Among the individuals believed to exhibit variations in the leaf shape, B. gracilis and B. silvestrii were newly recognized. Unlike related taxa, B. gracilis has middle leaves with an elliptic, broadly elliptic, ovate, or broadly depressed ovate shape, a regular and serrulate-dentate margin, and an unlobed and short caudate or cuspidate apex. Boehmeria silvestrii has middle leaves with 5-angled ovate, orbicular ovate or broadly ovate shapes, and 3- or 5-lobed and caudate apices. Therefore, we assigned the corresponding names 'Top-geo-buk-kko-ri' and 'Cham-geo-buk-kko-ri'. Meanwhile, the B. spicata complex (B. gracilis, B. silvestrii, B. spicata, and B. tricuspis var. unicuspis) is very closely related in terms of the morphological characters, whereas B. tricuspis exhibits no relationship. Furthermore, because the scientific name and type specimen of B. tricuspis var. unicuspis (Pul-geo-buk-kko-ri) are problematic, the correct name B. paraspicata Nakai and corresponding holotype are presented. Additionally, lectotypes of B. gracilis and B. silvestrii are newly designated here. A taxonomic treatment, descriptions, a key, photographs, type specimens, and leaf variation images of the B. spicata complex are provided in this study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biological activities of extracts of ramie (Boehmeria nivea (L.) Gaud.), hereafter referred to as Bn. Bn extracts from various collecting area were extracted with methanol. Two extracts from our study, Bn-13 and -82, showed significant antioxidant properties, likely due to their ability to scavenge free radicals. In addition, Bn extracts showed stronger anti-bacterial activity against Escherichia coli (Bn-40), Stapylococcus aureus (Bn-33), and Helicobacter pylori (Bn-05). In addition, this study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of Bn extracts in lipopolyssacharide (LPS)- and interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages cells. Bn-37 significantly inhibited the production LPS/IFN-${\gamma}$-induced nitric oxide. The most noteworthy anti-cancer effect was found in Bn-23. Bn-08 showed inhibition of aldose reductase. This study provides basic information for the development of functional foods.

Boehmeria pannosa (Urticaceae) is a perennial herb widely distributed in Korea. In this study, investigation on the constituents of B. pannosa was conducted by chromatographic techniques and spectroscopic analysis. As a result, nine compounds including eight phenolic compounds, 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (1), β-hydroxypropiovanillone (2), C-veratroylglycol (3), 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-propan-1-one (4) 2,3-dihydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl) -1-propanone (5), p-coumaric acid (6), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (7), vanillic acid (8) and one lignan, (-)-(7R,8S)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (9) were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of B. pannosa. Among them, compounds 5, 6 and 9 inhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity more than 50% at the concentration of 100 μM.

Content analysis of flavonoids (epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and rutin) present in the leaves of Boehmeria nivea (originating from Geumsan-myeon, Biin-myeon, Hansan-myeon, and Baeksu-eup) and their commercial products (ramie tteok, ramie songpyeon, ramie bory-tteok, and ramie tea) was conducted by HPLC. The content of epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and rutin was highest in the leaves of B. nivea from Geumsan-myeon (0.138 mg/g), Baeksu-eup (1.654 mg/g) and Geumsan-myeon (12.205 mg/g), respectively. With respect to commercial products, the content of epicatechin and epicatechin gallate was highest in ramie tea, with concentrations of 1.879 and 1.090 mg/g, respectively. Given these flavonoid concentrations, B. nivea leaf extracts have the potential to be used as additives in natural medicinal products, health supplements, and beverages.

Phytochemical analysis of Boehmeria nivea (Bn) leaves by medium pressure liquid chromatography led to the isolation of a flavonoid glycoside identified by spectroscopic analysis as rutin. The amount of rutin in the leaves of Bn harvested from nine regions in South Korea (Bn 1-9) which were collected on the months of June, July, August, and September was determined by HPLC-UV analysis. A gradient elution program that utilizes a $Discovery^{(R)}$ C18 ($4.6{\times}250mm$, $5{\mu}m$) column and mobile phase composed of 1% acetic acid-water: acetonitrile (90:10 to 60:40 for min) was followed. The injection volume and flow rate were $10{\mu}l$ and 1 mL/ min, respectively. UV detection was set at 350 nm. Results show that Bn-8 harvested in September reported the highest content of rutin among the samples analyzed. This study provides a basis for the optimal harvest time of Bn which maximizes the yield of rutin.

This study investigated change in the chemical components and antioxidant activity of ramie (Boehmeria nivea) leaves (RL) for the development of functional foods. Proximate compositions of protein, crude ash, and crude fat were 24.49, 11.41, and 4.89%, respectively. Contents of minerals of calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe) were 1,874, 1,433, 362, and 16 mg/100 g, respectively. ${\alpha},\;{\beta}$, and ${\gamma}$-Tocopherol contents were 9.79, 0.18, and 1.44 mg/100 g, respectively. Linoleic and linolenic acid contents were higher than those of palmatic and stearic acid. Total phenolic and flavonoids contents showed the high level of 149 and 49 mg/g. The $IC_{50}$ values of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, and superoxide radical scavenging of RL extracts were 688, 424, and $596{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, while the radical scavenging values by butylated hydroxylanisole (BHA) were 92, 58, and $98{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Thus, RL has the potential to be used as a healthy and functional food ingredient.

β amyloid protein (Aβ) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and possibly in Aβ-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Aβ can directly cause reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Overproduction of ROS is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration of AD. Here, we investigated 9 kinds of ramie (Boehmeria nivea, (L.) Gaud., BN; hereafter denoted as BN) for their protective action against oxidative stress in a cellular system using C6 glial cells. We observed loss of cell viability and high levels of ROS generation after treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and Aβ_25-35. However, treatments with BN extracts led to an increase in cell viability and decrease in ROS production induced by H2O2 and Aβ25-35. In particular, the extracts of BN-01 (seobang variety from Seocheon) and BN-09 (local variety from Yeonggwang) showed excellent anti-oxidative properties. This indicates that BN extracts could prevent neurodegeneration by reducing oxidative stress in cells.

거북꼬리의 적정염색 조건을 구명하기 위하여 열수 및 알칼리추출물을 사용하여 염색조건에 따른 염착량(K/S) 및 Munsell의 색상(Hue), 명도(Value), 채도(Chroma)의 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 면, 한지, 실크에 대한 열수 및 알칼리추출물 처리 염색물의 최대흡수파장(${\lambda}max$)은 400 mm였다. 염색조건에 따른 염착량은 온도와 시간 조건에서 실크 염색물이 높은 수치를 나타내었고, $80\;^{\circ}C$와 40분을 전후로 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 농도조건에서는 농도가 높을수록 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. Munsell의 색상은 온도와 시간조건에서 알칼리추출물 처리 염색물은 YR (Yellow Red) 계열의 색상을, 열수추출물 처리 염색물은 R (Red) 계열의 색상을 나타내었으며 온도는 $80\;^{\circ}C$, 시간은 40분을 전후로 큰 변화가 없었다. 명도 및 채도는 뚜렷한 변화를 보이지 않았고 염색조건에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 거북꼬리추출물로 염색할 경우 최적 염색조건은 온도 $80\;^{\circ}C$, 시간 40분, 농도 100% (추출원액)로 조절하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 섬모시풀 70% 에탄올 추출물과 분획물에 대한 천연 화장품 소재의 가능성에 대해 조사하였다. 섬모시풀을 70% 에탄올 추출물과 헥산, 디클로로메탄, 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올 등의 순차적으로 용매별 분획을 제작하였다. DPPH과 ABTS 시험결과, 에틸아세테이트 분획물은 우수한 라디칼 소거 활성을 보였다. 항균활성은 Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Cutibacterium acnes와 항생제내성균주에 대해서 paper disc 방법, 최소저해농도 및 생육억제율을 조사하였다. 그 결과, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, C. acnes 균주에 디클로로메탄과 에틸아세테이트 분획물에서 추출물과 다른 분획물에 비해 우수한 항균력을 확인하였다. 또한, 에틸아세테이트 분획물은 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 처리한 RAW 264.7 Cell에서 NO 생성 억제 활성을 확인하였다. 이로써 섬모시풀 추출물과 분획물은 세포독성이 없으며, 항산화, 항균 및 항염 효과를 보였다. 이 결과는 섬모시풀 추출물과 분획물이 항산화 활성을 가지는 효과적인 화장품 소재로 적용 가능하다는 것을 시사한다.
