BACKGROUND: Plant extracts have been used as environment friendly agricultural materials for organic farming in South Korea. However safety evaluation on the plant extracts was not properly tested. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety of the extracts from Melia azedarach, Nerium indicum and Coptis chinensis on cultivating rice. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pant extarcts 300-fold diluted were treated on rice, and residues of M. azedarach, N. indicum and C. chinensis were determined. The analytes from the rice samples were detected by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The method was validated, and good linearities ($r^2=0.995-0.998$), specificity, and recoveries were obtained. Limits of detection were 0.01 mg/kg for all of the target compounds. Recoveries were 79.3-118.3% at 0.1 mg/kg and 75.2-111.5% at 0.5 mg/kg. The residue levels were below 0.030 mg/kg for azadirachtin, 0.320 mg/kg for oleandrin and 1.460 mg/kg for berberine. CONCLUSION(S): The extracts of M. azedarach, N. indicum and C. chinensis contained azadirachtin, oleandrin and berberine as an active ingredient, respectively. The residue of three active ingredients dramatically decreased after treatment in all fruits, stems and roots of rice.

The Galkun-Whanglyeon-Whanggum-Tang, an officially standardized mixture of traditional herbal medicines used in Korea and China, consists of Pueraria lobata, Scullellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis and Glycyrrhiza uralensis at a ratio of 6:9:3:2.4. In this study, we evaluated the effect of lowering lipid accumulation in blood by treatment of Galkun-Whanglyeon-Whanggum-Tang in Apo E(-/-) atherosclerotic animal model. ApoE/mice fed with 1.25% cholesterol, 7.5% cocoa butter and 0.5% sodium cholate diet were orally given vehicle or Galkun-Whanglyeon-Whanggum-Tang(10, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks. Serum levels of triglyceride(TG), total cholestrerol(TC), low-density lipoprotein(LDL) and high-density lipoprotein(HDL) were analyzed, and PPAR-${\alpha}$ and PPAR-${\gamma}$ were examined by Western blotting analysis. Galkun-Whanglyeon- Whanggum-Tang decreased serum levels of TG, TC and LDL, but not HDL in ApoE/mice. In parallel, Galkun-Whanglyeon-Whanggum-Tang treatment showed the increased activity of PPAR-${\alpha}$ and PPAR-${\gamma}$ in hepatocytes. In summary, Galkun-Whanglyeon-Whanggum-Tang can reduce lipid accumulation in blood, and this effect might be accompanied by the upregulation of PPAR-${\alpha}$ and PPAR-${\gamma}$ in Apo E(-/-) atherosclerotic mouse model.

The effects of dietary Coptis chinensis herb extract (CHE) on growth performance, blood characteristics, nutrient digestibility and meat quality of growing-finishing pigs were investigated in an 18-wk feeding trial. A total of 36 Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire-Duroc pigs with an initial body weight of $20{\pm}1.0$ kg were randomly assigned to 3 dietary treatments with 6 replications per treatment and 2 pigs per pen. A maize-soybean meal-based diet was formulated as a control diet and other treatment diets were supplemented with 0.5, or 1 g CHE/kg, respectively. After the feeding period, meat samples were collected from those pigs that had reached the market BW. During the experimental periods, growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter and nitrogen were unaffected (p>0.05) by the dietary supplementation of CHE. Plasma erythrocytes counts were increased (Linearly, p<0.05) in response to application of CHE at the end of the experiment. Moreover, pigs fed the CHE diets had better (p<0.05) meat color, pH and water holding capacity (WHC) than pigs fed the control diet. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with CHE could increase blood erythrocytes counts and improve meat quality in growing-finishing pigs but not improve growth performance.

This study screened 76 Korean traditional patent medicines and 58 medicinal herbs for antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Among the prescriptions methanol and hot water extracts of Samsoum, Chujunghwang-yont'ang, and Sashinhwan showed antimicrobial activities against E. coli and Chujunghwang-yont'ang showed the strongest antimicrobial activity. Among the medicinal herbs, hot water and methanol extracts of Terminalia chebula, Caesalpinia sappan, and Coptis chinensis showed the strongest antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella flexnery, Shigella sonnei and Salmonella typhimurium. An interesting characteristic of the traditional medicines such as Samsoum, Chujunghwang-yont'ang, and Sashinhwan was that both methanol and hot water extracts were active. Chujunghwang-yont'ang exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activities against the microorganisms tested. Water and methanol extracts of Terminalia chebula, Caesalpinia sappan, and Coptis chinensis showed the strong of inhibitory effects on the growth of all microorganisms tested.

항균력이 있는 것으로 확인된 대황 및 황련추출물을 오이, 호박, 상치 및 고추에 처리하였을 때 총균수가 감소하였다. 채소의 종류에 따라서 적절한 처리농도는 달랐는 데, 호박, 상치 및 고추는 100 ppm, 오이는 500 ppm 처리가 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 채소를 침지할 때의 시간은 10분 정도가 적절한 것으로 나타났으며, 세척수의 온도를 4$0^{\circ}C$로 높일 경우에도 채소류 표면의 총균수 감소 효과는 실온의 세척수와 비슷하였다. 또한 오이와 호박을 대황 및 황련 추출물로 처리한 다음 1$0^{\circ}C$에서 건조하고 PVC랩으로 포장하여 저장한 결과 대조구에 비하여 총균수가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 저장 기간 중 무게는 지속적으로 감소하였으며, 처리구와 대조구간에 큰 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. Ascorbic acid의 함량은 저장 기간 중 지속적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났는데, 대황 및 황련추출물을 처리한 시험구가 대조구에 비하여 ascorbic acid의 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다

This study was performed to investigate a vasodilatory efficacy and its underlying mechanisms of the mixture of Cnidium officinale, Petasites japonicus and Coptis chinensis (CPC), CPC relaxed rat aortic vascular strips in endothelium-independant manner precontracted with phenylephrine or KCI(50mM), but the magnitude of relaxation was greater in KCI induced contraction. L-NAME, iNOS inhibitor, and methylen blue(MB), cGMP inhibitor, did not attenuate the relaxation responses of CPC. Furthermore, the contraction by increaseing $Ca^{2+}$ concentration (0.3-10.0mM) to a $Ca^{2+}$-free high $K^+$ (60mM) was significantly reduced by CPC pretreatment. These results suggest that the relaxation effect of CPC is related with the block of $Ca^{2+}$ influx via $Ca^{2+}$ channel.

혈관신생, 즉 새로운 혈관형성은 종양의 성장과 전이에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있으며, 암 치료에 중요한 목표물이 되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 황련 냉수추출물의 혈관신생 억제작용의 효과를 밝히고 항암제로서의 가능성을 평가하고자 한다. Ex vivo rat aortic ring assay 실험결과 신생혈관성장을 억제하는 결과를 확인하였고, 이것을 통해 황련 냉수추출물이 혈관신생과정의 주요한 단계와 내피세포의 증식, 이동, 침투, 혈관내피세포자극인자에 의한 반응으로 모세관 모양의 관 형성작용을 억제함을 알아내었다. 또한 황련 냉수추출물을 처리하였을 때, 세포주기가 억제되고 VEGF에 의한 반응으로 인해 G0/G1 주기에서 S 주기로 가는 과정을 예방하고, VEGF에 의해 활성화가 유도되는 MMP-2, MMP-9이 감소되었다. 따라서 이들의 결과는 황련 냉수추출물이 종양의 발달 단계 중 혈관신생을 방해하는 잠재적인 항암약물의 소재로 고려될 수 있음을 제안한다.

천연 살초성분 해발을 위한 기초적 연구로 발아 및 생장억제물질 동정을 위하여 몇 가지 유기용매에 따른 황련의 분획 추출물에 대한 다른 식물의 종자발아 및 유묘생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 추출물에 대한 검정식물의 발아율은 들깨, 배추, 피, 참깨 순으로 억제되었으며, 2,000ppm ethyl acetate추출물에서 가장 높은 발아억제를 보였다. 초장 및 뿌리생육은 참깨, 들깨, 배추, 피 순으로 억제되었으며, 특히 뿌리신장은 $H_2O$, butyl alcohol, hexane, ethyl acetate 추출물 순으로 억제정도가 심하였다 추출물에 대한 발아 및 유묘생육의 억제정도는 참해 및 배추에서 종특이적으로 작용하였으며, 특히 물 추출물은 종자발아 및 뿌리 신장에 천연살초활성을 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 금후 천연제초제 개발을 위한 기초자료로 이용될 것으로 기대되었다.
