The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of extract and its fraction of Daucus carota var. sativa flower were studied in vitro. Extract and ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction of carrot flower showed radical scavenging effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). We also investigated the effect of extract and ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction of carrot flower on NO production in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Extract and its fraction of carrot flower significantly inhibited NO production and this inhibitory action was not due to the cytotoxicity. This study suggests that extract and ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction of Daucus carota var. sativa flower could contribute to the chemoprevention and therapy of oxidative stress and inflammation.

In this study, we investigated on antioxidative activity, tyrosinase inhibitory activity and nitric oxide(NO) production inhibitory activity in the hot water extract of Taraxacum coreanum and its fractions. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were found to be 65.42 mg/g and 9.83 mg/g, respectively. And the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the ethyl acetate fraction were found to be 168.23 mg/g and 31.92 mg/g, respectively. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate and butanol fraction were exhibited 64.65 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 277.42 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Moreover, ethyl acetate fraction showed higher inhibitory activity than other samples in tyrosinase inhibitory activity. In NO production inhibitory activity, the extract and its fractions showed NO production inhibitory effect. Especially, the ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol fraction was exhibited higher NO production inhibitory activity than other samples. As a result, the ethyl acetate and butanol fraction from the water extract of T. coreanum could be applicable to functional materials for skin-related fields.

This study was carried out to investigate inhibitory effect of extracts from Artemisia capillaris Thumb. on maltase, sucrase, ${\alpha}-amylase$, nonspecific ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, and postprandial hyperglycemia. Methanol extract and organic solvent (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) fractions from the medicinal herb were determined for the inhibitory activities against maltase, sucrase and ${\alpha}-amylase$. The methanol extract from A. capillaris strongly inhibited maltase (57%) and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ (72%) at the concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Among the four fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) examined, the butanol fraction from A. capillaris showed potent inhibitory effects on maltase (73%), sucrase (33%), and ${\alpha}-amylase$ (75%) at the concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The butanol fraction from Artemisia capillaris also exhibited significant reductions (20%) of blood glucose elevation in mice loaded with maltose. These results suggest that the extract from Artemisia capillaris can be used as a new nutraceutical for inhibition on postprandial hyperglycemia

In a preliminary screening of plant extracts for the antigastritic and antiulcer actions in rats, the extracts of head of Panax ginseng Radix showed positive activity in HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesion. Among the systematic fractions of hexane, chloroform, butanol and water, the most potent butanol fraction reduced significantly HCl ethanol-induced gastric lesion at the oral dose of 500 mg/kg. In pylorus ligated rats, hexane and butanol fraction showed decreases in the volume of gastric secretion and acid output, of which effects were stronger in butanol fraction. Further assays with butanol fraction disclosed that it significantly suppressed the aspirin-induced and Shay ulcer. The butanol fraction at the intraduodenal dose of 500 mg/kg showed significant stimulation of mucus secretion.

Raphiolepis indica (R. indica) is one of evergreen shrubs belonging to the Rosaceae and is grown wildly in Jeju. This study was performed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of different fractions (n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol, water) from R. indica. Anti-oxidative effects were determined using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity and total phenol contents. Hepatoprotective effect was identified by 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay in Huh7 cells. Among various fractions, ethyl acetate and butanol fractions showed the lowest DPPH remained rate reaching approximately 78.7 and 65.5% at $400{\mu}g/mL$. Ethyl acetate and butanol fractions showed the total phenolic content at 164.5 and 137.3 mg GAE/g extract. The ethyl acetate and butanol fractions were resistant against oxidative stress in MTT assay and showed higher hepatoprotective effect than other fractions. Therefore, these results suggest that the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions of R. indica might have therapeutic value in liver damage.

본 연구에서는 섬애약쑥(Artemisia argyi H.)의 생리활성 규명을 위한 연구의 일환으로 6종의 용매(butanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, hexane, methanol)로 추출하여 총 페놀화합물과 플라보노이드 함량, 항산화 및 파골세포 분화 억제 활성을 검증하였다. 섬애약쑥 용매별 추출물의 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 화합물은 methanol 추출물에서 함량이 가장 높고 다음으로 butanol 추출물이 높으며, ethyl ether 및 hexane 추출물은 여타추출물보다 그 함량이 낮았다. ABTS 및 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성과 FRAP법에 의한 항산화력을 측정한 결과 methanol 추출물의 항산화활성이 유의적으로 가장 높았고 hexane 추출물의 활성이 유의적으로 가장 낮았다. NO 생성억제능은 비교적 저농도인 $2.5{\mu}g/ml$에서 6종 추출물 모두 확인되었으며, $20{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서는 ethyl acetate가 가장 활성이 높고 다음으로 butanol 추출물에서 높게 측정되었다. ROS 생성 억제능은 농도 의존적으로 활성이 증가하였으며, $20{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 ethyl acetate 추출물과 butanol 추출물이 다른 4종의 추출물 대비 활성이 높았다. TRAP 염색을 통해 용매별 추출물들의 파골세포 분화 활성을 확인한 결과 6종 추출물 모두에서 농도 의존적으로 분화 억제 활성이 증가하였으며, butanol 추출물에서 분화 억제 활성이 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과들을 종합하여 볼 때 섬애약쑥 용매별 추출물 중 butanol 추출물이 항산화 활성과 파골세포 분화억제 활성이 모두 높기 때문에 향후 골다공증의 치료 및 예방에 있어서 유효할 것으로 추정된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible utilization of Zanthoxylum schinifolium as a source of antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial effects of Zanthoxylum schinifolium extracts were investigated against Acinetobacter baumannii, which is a multi-drug resistant pathogen, and 5 other pathogenic microorganisms. The hexane extract of Zanthoxylum schinifolium was more effective than the ethyl acetate, n-butanol and methanol extracts which were active against Acinetobacter baumannii 25, with minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) ranging from 0.8 mg/ml to 1.6 mg/ml. Tetracycline had no effect on Acinetobacter baumanniii. The hexane extract was highly active against Candida albicans IFO 6258, with an MIC of 1.5 mg/ml. In contrast, the ethyl acetate, n-butanol and methanol extracts showed no activity against the 5 pathogenic microorganisms. Furthermore, a combination of hexane extract and ethyl acetate extract was significantly more active against the 5 Acinetobacter baumannii strains than n-butanol and methanol. These results suggest that Zanthoxylum schinifolium extracts have great potential as antimicrobial compounds against multi-drug resistant pathogens, and further studies are warranted.

It has been shown that the butanol extract of Lonicera japonica has antimicrobial and other potentially useful biological activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the in vitro activity of Lonicera japonica compared to other antimicrobial agents against anaerobic bacteria. Specifically, the in vitro activity of the butanol extract was investigated against 104 clinical isolates of anaerobic bacteria using an agar dilution method and the results were compared to erythromycin, cefoxitin, imipenem, clindamycin, and metronidazole. It was found that Lonicera japonica and imipenem were the most active antimicrobial agents tested.
