The fruit of the Crataegus pinnatifida bunge has been known to have a role as a digestive stimulant, and is used for postpartum abdominal pain and women's menstrual pain. It is used for coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Ascorbic acid, hydroquinone, retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids, kojic acid, azelaic acid have been used for cosmetic whitening and medical depigmentation. To determine whether Crataegus pinnatifida bunge fruit also has whitening and depigmentation effect, tyrosinase inhibition assay was performed with American Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge ethanol extracts, Korean Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge (Cra) ethanol extracts and Arbutin as a positive control as previously described by Korean FDA guideline. Korean Cra fruit ethanol extracts were 1.87 fold more inhibitory function to tyrosinase activity than American Cra in the experimental condition that inhibitory function to tyrosinase activity of Korean Cra Arbutin is 81.8% when compared to that of the standard control Arbutin as 100%. These results suggest that ethanol extracts of Crataegus pinnatifida bunge have significant whitening effects and may provide the basis for development of cosmetic whitening agent and medical depigmentation applications.

본 연구에서는 아가위나무 열매를 초음파 공정과 기존의 추출 공정을 비교하여 항산화 증진효과에 대해 연구하였다. 초음파 공정이 기존의 추출공정과 비교해 추출수율이 높게 나타났으며 이는 많은 유용활성 성분이 용출된 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 총 페놀 함량에서는 상온교반추출물보다 초음파 공정을 거친 추출물이 약 2배 정도의 함량 증가를 보였으며, 총 플라보노이드에서도 함량의 증가를 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 초음파 고정을 이용해 활성물질들의 파괴없이 초음파의 높은 에너지로 인하여 더 많은 활성물질들을 추출하여 효능의 증대가 이루어질 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 실제적인 천연물 추출공정에서도 유용성분의 초음파추출은 많은 실험을 통하여 확인해야 할 것이며, frequency(kHz)와 intensity(Watt)의 조절, 시간(min)과 온도($^{\circ}C$) 그리고 시료의 형태에 따라 추출효율 및 유용성분의 영향은 다양한 변수에 의하여 편차가 클 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 수행된 아가위나무 열매의 추출가공 연구는 식품 및 소재 개발 시 기초자료로 이용될 수 있으며 기능성 소재 연구에 충분한 가치가 있다고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 아가위 열매(Crataegi fructus)를 70% 에탄올로 추출하여 추출물의 항산화능과 미백 효과에 대해 알아봄으로써 기능성 미백 화장품의 천연 소재로서의 가능성을 알아보았다. 아가위 열매 에탄올 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 61.31 mg/g, 플라보노이드 함량은 25.42 mg/g으로 나타났으며, 전자공여능은 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$에서 85.80%, ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 17.3%, 환원력은 0.31로 나타났다. Melanoma 세포에 대한 아가위 열매 에탄올 추출물의 최대 허용농도는 $100{\mu}g/mL$으로 확인되어 세포독성이 미약함을 확인하였다. 멜라닌 생성 저해능은 $50{\mu}g/mL$에서 8.5%, 세포 내 tyrosinase 활성 저해능은 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$에서 46.83 %를 나타내었다. 아가위 열매 추출물은 약재와 식용 및 약용식물로 이용되는 여러 천연물보다 다량의 페놀화합물 및 각종 생리활성 성분을 함유하였으며 항산화 활성 및 미백 효과를 나타내었으며 추후 용매별 분획물을 사용하여 항산화 및 미백 효능을 나타내는 지표성분의 확인의 연구가 진행된다면 연구 결과를 바탕으로 기능성 제품의 첨가제나 천연 항산화 소재 및 기능성 미백 화장품 소재로서 활용 가능하리라 생각된다.

In order to select superior tree from Korea, five major phenolic compounds including (-)-epicatechin(EC), chlorogenic acid (ChA), hyperoside (HP), isoquercitrin (IQ), and procyanidin B2 (PC-$B_2$) in hawthorn fruit were evaluated. We also compared these hawthorn fruits of five clones with Chinese hawthorn cultivars. HPLC with a diode-array detector was used to determine the contents of the individual compounds. Hawthorn fruits of five clones (selected from different area of Korea), and four Chinese hawthorn cultivars grown in the Korea Forest Research Institute (Suwon) were utilized. With their high functional components, Jungsun is the clone including the highest contents of EC (11.26 mg/g) and PC-$B_2$ (24.46 mg/g). The clone of Chuncheon 15 had highest HP (0.53 mg/g) and IQ (0.41 mg/g). From the results, the clone of Jungsun and Chuncheon 15 can be evaluated to be selected breeding material for cultivar development.

The antioxidant activity of hawthorn fruit (Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge var. typica Schneider) extracts was investigated by several in vitro antioxidants properties, including DPPH free radical scavenging activity, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, reducing power activity, iron-chelating capacity and nitrite scavenging activity. Among the extracts in this study, the 70% EtOH extract showed higher antioxidant activity than the others. The $IC_{50}$ value of DPPH free radical scavenging activity was $99.26\;{\mu}g/mL$. Furthermore, the 70% EtOH extract also showed significantly high total phenolic and flavonoids contents and reducing power activity. However, the MeOH extract exhibited stronger effects on hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, iron-chelating capacity and nitrite scavenging activity. All the results implicated that, the hawthorn fruit may has the available potential to be utilize as a potential source of natural antioxidant.

산사자는 전 세계적으로 이용되는 있는 식용/약용 생물자원 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 산사자의 유용 생리활성 검토를 위한 연구의 일환으로, 산사자의 methanol 추출물 및 이의 n-hexane, ethylacetate, butanol 분획물 및 물 잔류물을 조제하여 항생제 다제내성 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 및 Candida sp.를 포함하는 다양한 병원성 및 식중독 미생물에 대한 항균활성을 평가하였다. 산사자의 methan이 추출물은 그람 양성 및 음성의 다양한 세균에 대해 항균활성을 나타내였고, 이의 분획물 중 ethylacetate 및 butanol 분획물은 Listeria monocytogen, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhimurium, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli는 물론 10종의 항생제 내성 병원성 Pseudomonas aeruginosa에 대해서도 우수한 항세균 활성을 나타내었다(최소생육억제농도 1.0~7.5 mg/mL). 또한 ethylacetate 및 butan이 분획물은 일부의 Candida sp.에 대해서도 항균활성을 나타내였다. 한편 n-hexane 분획물을 제외한 산사자 methan이 추출물 및 분획물들은 $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도까지 인간적혈구에 대한 용혈현상을 보이지 않았으며, n-hexane 분획물은 $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 약 9.9%의 미미한 용혈활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 산사자가 다양한 세균의 제어는 물론 항생제 내성 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 제어를 위한 생물자원으로 개발 기능함을 제시하고 있다.

The hawthorn fruit (Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge var. typica Schneider) is used as a traditional medicine in Korea. The objective of this study was to understand the mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory effects of the water fractionated portion of hawthorn fruit on a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cellular model. The level of nitric oxide (NO) production in the water fraction and LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells were determined with an ELISA. The cytotoxicity of the water fraction and LPS was measured with an MTT assay. Expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin $1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$) mRNA were analyzed with a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The water fraction of hawthorn fruit was determined to be safe and significantly inhibited NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and suppressed COX-2, (TNF)-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, and IL-6 expression. The observed anti-inflammatory effects of the water fraction of hawthorn fruit might be attributed to the down-regulation of COX-2, (TNF)-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, and IL-6 expression in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells.

Hawthorn is widely distributed in Korea and has been used as herbal medicine for treating various cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis and hypertension in Korea. In order to select superior honey tree plant from Korea, the free sugar and organic acid in hawthorn fruits, including five Korean clones and four Chinese cultivars, were evaluated. We also compared these hawthorn fruits of five clones (selected from different area of Korea) with Chinese hawthorn cultivars. Glucose, galactose, fructose and sucrose were the major sugar components of hawthorn. In this study, we observed that sucrose, glucose and fructose content. The highest sucrose content of hawthorn fruit was 188.12g/100g in Daegeumseong cultivar. The sweetness index, which plays important role of taste, was also calculated from the content of sucrose, glucose and fructose. The contribution of each carbohydrate was calculated, based on the fact that fructose is 2.30 and sucrose 1.35 times sweeter than glucose. The highest sweetness of hawthorn fruit was 579.52 in Pocheon clone. Main organic acid detected in hawthorn fruit were citric acid, malic acid and shikimic acid. The highest citric acid and malic acid content in hawthorn fruit were 157.50g/100g (Pocheon 3) and 34.12g/100g (Daegeumseong), respectively. The results of this study would be helpful for using food and functional food products, due to the beneficial effects of free sugar and organic acid for human health such as antioxidants and anticarcinogenic properties.
