The phytochemical investigation of Broussonetia kazinoki roots led to the isolation of ten compounds, including six flavonoids (1-6), two lignans (7 and 8), and two coumarins (9 and 10) by comparing their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra with reference values. To the best of our knowledge, compounds 9 and 10 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Among the ten isolates, compounds 2, 4, and 6 exhibited inhibitory effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in macrophage RAW264.7 cells with IC₅₀ values of 11.98, 10.16, and 24.06 μM, respectively. Furthermore, compounds 2, 4, and 6 reduced LPS-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-incubation of cells with these compounds also significantly suppressed LPS-induced COX-2 protein expression. Compounds 2, 4, and 6 also showed cytotoxic activity against HL-60 cells with IC₅₀ values ranging between 46.43 and 94.06 μM.

Broussonetia kazinoki Siebold. (B. kazinoki) has long been used in the manufacture of paper in Asian countries. Although B. kazinoki leaves (BK) have been employed in dermatological therapy, use of BK has not been tested in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Using Nc/Nga mice, which are genetically predisposed to develop AD-like skin lesions, we confirmed the efficacy of BK in AD treatment. BK extract was applied topically to Dermatophagoides farinae-induced AD-like lesions in Nc/Nga mice, and the effects were assessed both clinically and by measuring skin thickness on the back and ears. We measured the effects of BK extract on plasma levels of IgE and IL-4. We also measured the ability of BK extract to inhibit the secretion of hTARC in HaCaT cells after stimulation by TNF-${\alpha}$ and IFN-${\gamma}$. We found that BK extract significantly reduced ear and dorsal skin thickness and the clinical signs of AD, as well as significantly down-regulating the plasma levels of IgE and IL-4 (p<0.01 for each comparison). Moreover, $500{\mu}g/mL$ of BK extract inhibited hTARC secretion in HaCaT cells by activated TNF-${\alpha}$/IFN-${\gamma}$ by about 87%. These findings suggest that topical application of BK extract has excellent potential in the treatment of AD.

공진주파수 모드를 이용하는 비파괴 평가기술법을 닥나무를 소성온도별(600, 800, 1000, $1200^{\circ}C$)로 제조한 우드세라믹에 적용하였다. 공진주파수 및 동적 탄성계수는 소성온도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 동적 탄성계수 및 정적 휨 탄성계수와 휨강도사이에는 밀접한 상관관계가 나타났다. 따라서 공진 주파수 모드를 사용하는 동적 탄성계수측정은 소성온도에 따라 제조된 우드세라믹의 휨강도를 예측하는 비파괴 평가 방법으로 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

This investigation was undertaken for the purpose of studying the effect of the addition of the powder(0, 1, 2, 3%)from fruit of paper mulberry(Broussonetia Kazinoki SieboId) on the hardness, cohesiveness, elasticity, gumminess, chewiness, cooking loss and sensory characteristics of cooked ground beef with or without soysauce. The results obtained were summerized as follows; Hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and cooking loss were decreased by increasing the percent of adding the powder from the fruit of paper mulberry. As a result of sensory evaluation for cooked ground beef, sample with powder from the fruit of paper mulberry showed the higher scores in most of the characteristics. And cooked ground beef added the powder from the fruit of paper mulberry with soysauce showed the higher decreasing rate of hardness than those of without soysauce.

Bast fibers of paper mulberry ( Broussonetia Kazinoki Sieb) were cooked with a weak alkaline salt, potassium carbonate which has been known as a major inorganic component of the traditional lye, and its cooking characteristics were investigated . The bast fiber was easily cooked by potassium carbonate. The pulp yield was rapidly decreased up to 20-30 mol of potassium carbonate, but the Kappa number was slowly decreased with increasing of potassium carbonate. The potassium carbonate pulps were easily defibered at low cooking chemical charge of 25mm on and high pulp yield of about 80%. These results were confirmed that pectin was easily removed during the potassium carbonate cooking. In contrast, when sodium carbonate was used as a cooling agent, the bast fiber was only partially defibered. Thus, sodium carbonate was a less effective cooling chemical of the bast fiber. The results of this experiment indicated that potassium carbonate could not only be used as a good cooling agent of bast fiber, but also as an alternative agent of sodium hydroxide.

본 연구에서는 닥나무 추출물의 항산화 활성과 성분 분석에 관한 연구를 실시하였다. 닥나무 추출물은 우수한 free radical(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성($FSC_{50}=8.53{\mu}g/mL$)을 나타내었다. Luminol-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$계에서 생성된 활성 산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 에틸아세테이트 분획의 총항산화능(OSC50)은 $1.69 {\mu}g/mL$이었다. 닥나무 추출물에 대하여 $^1O_2$으로 유도된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈 실험 결과 에틸아세테이트분획은 $10{\mu}g/mL$의 낮은 농도에서 ${\tau}_{50}$이 183.3 min으로 대표적인 항산화 물질로 알려진 $\alpha$-tocopherol (${\tau}_{50}$ = 38.00 min)보다 매우 큰 세포보호 효과를 나타내었다. TLC, HPLC, LC/ESI-MS/MS 및 $^1H$-NMR을 이용하여 닥나무 추출물 에틸아세테이트 분획의 성분 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 닥나무 추출물 에틸아세테이트 분획은 kazinol류의 kazinol J와 플라보노이드류인 luteolin을 함유하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과들은 닥나무 추출물이 $^1O_2$ 혹은 다른 ROS를 소광시키거나 소거함으로써, 또는 이에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써, 생체계 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리키며 기능성 화장품 원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

Objective: To evaluate the immune-stimulatory potential of extracts of Broussonetia kazinoki Siebold (BK) on specific cellular and humoral immune responses in ovalbumin (OVA)-immunized mice. Material and Methods: C57BL/6 mice were immunized intraperitoneally with OVA/alum ($100{\mu}g/200{\mu}g$) on days 1, 8, and 15. BK (100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg) was given to mice orally for 21 days (from day 1 to day 21). At day 22, OVA-, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and concanavalin A (Con A)-stimulated splenocyte proliferation and OVA-specific and total antibodies were measured in plasma. Further, the effects of BK on expression of cytokine mRNA in OVA-immunized mice splenocytes were evaluated by RT-PCR analysis. Results: BK significantly enhanced OVA-, LPS-, and Con A-induced splenocyte proliferation in OVA-immunized mice (p<0.01). BK also significantly enhanced total IgM and OVA-specific IgG1 levels in plasma compared with the OVA control group. Moreover, BK up-regulated significantly the expression of mRNA level of IL-2 and IFN-${\gamma}$ in splenocytes. Conclusions: BK has immune-stimulating activity in an OVA-immunized mouse model system, enhancing the Th1 immune response. BK showed no cytotoxicity in this system, suggesting that BK may be a safe and effective adjuvant in humans.

본 연구는 동아시아 특산식물 애기닥나무의 자원식물로서 활용을 위한 대량증식법 개발을 위해 실시하였다. 종자의 발아특성을 알아보기 위해 광·온도조건, GA₃ 처리, 저온층적처리를 실시하였다. 온도조건 실험에서 4, 15/6, 20/10, 25/15℃에서 발아율은 각각 0, 42.5, 44.4, 91.7%였다. 따라서 애기닥나무 종자의 발아 최적온도는 25/15℃였다. 온도조건에 따라 발아가 제한되었지만, GA₃ 처리를 통해 상대적으로 낮은 온도조건에서도 발아율을 높일 수 있었다. 저온층적처리를 통해 발아소요일수를 단축할 수 있었으며. 이를 통해 애기닥나무 종자를 conditional dormancy 유형으로 분류하였다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 적정 발아 온도조건은 25/15℃이며, 상대적으로 낮은 온도조건에서도 GA₃처리로 종자기반 대량증식이 가능하며, 향후 산업적인 활용에 도움이 될 것이라 판단된다.

Dengropanax morfiferus (D), Broussonitia kazinoki (B), and Cudriania tricuspidata (E), a widely cultivated species in South Korea, has been used as traditional medicine to treat numerous diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antidiabetic effects in a various signaling mechanisms using mixed extract and major component contents were analyzed by HPLC in the combined extracts from Dengropanax morfiferus, Broussonitia kazinoki, and Cudriania tricuspidata (DBCE). DBCE inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activation and showed potent antioxidant effects, which are evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, and SOD assay. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells in pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. DBCE showed the protective effects in RINm5F cells against cytokines-induced damage by suppressing inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase and COX-2 expression and NO production. Insulin resistance is the primary characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the regulatory effect of DBCE on glucose uptake and production are investigated in insulin-responsive human HepG2 cells. DBCE stimulated glucose uptake, prevented Glut2 and phosphor-IRS1 downregulation induced by high glucose (HG, 30 mM). Moreover, DBCE pretreatment diminished glucose levels, PEPCK and G6Pase overexpression provoked by HG. These findings suggest that DBCE might be used for diabetes treatment through alpha-glucosidase or alpha-amylase activity regulation, pancreatic beta cell protection, hepatic glucose sensitivity improvement. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells' infiltrations around the pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
