The study elucidated carbohydrase inhibition, anti-cancerous, free radical scavenging properties and also investigated the DNA and protein protection abilities of methanolic root extract of Rumex crispus (RERC). For this purpose, pulverized roots of Rumex crispus was extracted in methanol (80% and absolute conc.) for 3 hrs for $60^{\circ}C$ and filtered and evaporated with vacuum rotary evaporator. RERC showed high phenolic content ($211{\mu}g$/GAE equivalent) and strong 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ($IC_{50}$ = 42.86 (absolute methanol) and $36.91{\mu}g/mL$ (80% methanolic extract)) and reduced power ability. Furthermore, RERC exhibited significant protective ability in $H_2O_2/Fe^{3+}$/ascorbic acid-induced protein or DNA damage and percentage inhibition of the HT-29 cell growth rate following 80% methanolic RERC exposure at $400{\mu}g/mL$ was observed to be highest ($10.2%{\pm}1.03$). Moreover, methanolic RERC inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and amylase effectively and significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusively, RERC could be considered as potent carbohydrase inhibitor, anti-cancerous and anti-oxidant.

본 연구에서는 토사자 에탄올 추출물의 항산화 효과와 항돌연변이 활성을 분석하였다. 토사자 에탄올 추출물은 100 ppm, 200 ppm의 농도에서 BHT보다 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 토사자 추출물은 본 연구에서 사용한 농도에서는 돌연변이를 유발하지 않았으며, 직접돌연변이원인 4-NQO에 의해 유발된 돌연변이를 90% 이상 억제시키는 효과를 보여주어 우수한 항돌연변이능을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 토사자 에탄올 추출물은 폴리페놀 화합물을 다량 함유하고 있어 이들 항산화 물질이 토사자의 항산화 효과와 항돌연변이 활성에 영향을 주었을 것으로 사료되었다. 본 연구 결과 토사자 에탄올 추출물은 항산화 효과와 함께 돌연변이 유발을 억제하는 항돌연변이 활성을 가지는 것으로 나타나 천연항산화제 및 고부가가치의 기능성식품 신소재로서 이용될 가능성을 보여주었다.

The antioxidant activities of the extracts of dangyuja (Citrus grandis Osbeck) leaves were evaluated. The highest phenolic content was obtained from the ethyl acetate fraction (EF) (202.1$\pm$0.8 mg GAE/g dried extract) and it exhibited the highest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity. The cytoprotective effects of EF on oxidative damage induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) in a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 cells, were investigated to understand the intracellular antioxidant mechanisms. Treatment of HepG2 cells with EF prior to oxidative stress was found to inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lipid peroxidation, and DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) studies on EF resulted in tentative identification of 19 compounds representing 94.3% of the total content. Taken together, these results demonstrated that EF has excellent antioxidant activities and thus dangyuja leaves have great potential as a source for natural antioxidant which can be applied in food products.

Berries are rich sources of phenolic compounds, which are known to have health-promoting effects. In this study, phenolic compounds of seven popularly consumed berries were analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. In addition, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and nitrite scavenging activities were investigated for comparison of the biological activity of the berry extracts. Chlorogenic acid was the major phenolic acid, which had the highest content in aronia, followed by blueberry. The rutin and isoquercetin contents were the highest in mulberry, followed by aronia, black raspberry, and blueberry. The anthocyanin content was the highest in black raspberry. Aronia showed the highest DPPH free radical and nitrite scavenging activities with the highest contents of total phenolics and proanthocyanidins.

In this study, the anti-oxidative effects and components of sprout serum were investigated. In the buds, high levels of zinc, iron and manganese were analyzed in addition to copper, magnesium, and potassium. The free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity of sprout serum was evaluated with $IC_{50}$. $IC_{50}$ of sprout serum was $58.0\;mgmL^{-1}$, and that of vitamin C was $3.7\;mgmL^{-1}$. In the test of superoxide scavenging activity of sprout serum, the activity was dependent on the concentration of serum. In this case, the $IC_{50}$ was 2.0 wt%. Cell viability was detected by using the MTT method. Cultured human fibroblast was treated with 15 mM $H_2O_2$ and cell viability was 70% in case of control. However, the effect of treating 0.5% of sprout serum was similar to that of 0.0001% of vitamin C.

Objective: This study compared fatty acid compositions and antioxidant activities of high-preference cuts (loin, tenderloin, and rib) and low-preference cuts (brisket, topside, and shank) of Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) cows to obtain potentially useful information for promoting the consumption of various low-preference cuts. Methods: Individual 500 g samples of fresh beef were collected from each of the six cuts from 10 Hanwoo cows (quality grade 1) and immediately freeze-dried. The dried samples were evaluated for fatty acid composition, free radical scavenging activities (hydroxyl, alkyl, and 2, 2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [DPPH] radical), and antioxidative enzyme activities (glutathione peroxidase [GPx], glutathione-S-transferase [GST], and superoxide dismutase [SOD]). Results: The percentages of total polyunsaturated fatty acids were significantly higher in low-preference cuts than in high-preference cuts (p<0.05). Hydroxyl, alkyl, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were significantly higher in low-preference cuts than in high-preference cuts (p<0.05). In addition, the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as GPx, GST, and SOD, were significantly higher in low-preference cuts compared with high-preference cuts (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results may influence consumers to include more low-preference cuts in their selections based on the nutritional facts, which could help to balance the beef market in South Korea.

In the course of screening for antioxidant compounds by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), a total extract of the twigs of Taxillus delavayi (Loranthaceae) was found to show potent radical scavenging activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract led to the isolation of two phenolic compounds, catechin (1) and galloyl catechin (2), as active principles. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic studies. These two compounds showed the significant antioxidative effects on DPPH, and riboflavin- and xanthin-originated superoxide quenching activities. And these two compounds also showed strong nitric oxide radical scavenging effects. In riboflavin- and xanthin-originated superoxide quenching activities and nitric oxide radical scavenging effect, compound 2 showed better antioxidant activities than vitamin C.

동결건조한 청갓과 담금당일 청갓김치, 15$^{\circ}C$에서 5일간 발효시킨 청갓 김치로부터 극성이 다른 용매들을 사용하여 각각의 용매별 추출물을 얻고 methanol(MeOH), hexane(C$_{6}$ $H_{14}$), dichlorometane(C $H_2$Cl$_2$), ethyl acetate(EtOAc), butanol(BuOH), water($H_2O$)의 각각의 용매분획별(DPPH) 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay에 의한 항산화성을 측정하였고 항산화효과를 상호 비교하였다. 청갓과 담금당일 청갓 김치에서 EtOAc와 n-BuOH에서 얻은 분획층이 다른 분획층보다 항상화효과가 높게 나타났으며 15$^{\circ}C$ 5일간 발효시킨 청갓 김치에서는 C $H_2$Cl$_2$와 EtOAc분획층이 다른 분획층에 비하여 radical scavenger효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과의 차이는 다양한 재료에 의한 발효공정에 기인된다고 판단된다.

고들빼기의 부위별 성분 및 생리활성 차이를 검토하고자 일반성분, 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량, 항산화성 및 항암성을 분석하였다. 고들빼기 식물체 부위별 조단백질과 조지방은 꽃, 잎, 줄기 뿌리 순으로 높았고 조섬유와 조회분은 줄기와 뿌리가 꽃과 잎보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 고들빼기의 총 페놀 함량은 꽃($72.9\;mgkg^{-1}$)에서 가장 높게 나타났고, 그 다음은 잎, 줄기, 뿌리 순으로 나타났다. 총 플라보노이드 함량은 잎($23.3\;mgkg^{-1}$), 꽃, 줄기, 뿌리 순으로 나타났다. 고들빼기에서 DPPH(DPPH radical scavenging activity)법에 의한 항산화성은 농도와 비례하게 활성이 증가하는 양상을 합성 항산화제 Vitamin C와 BHT보다 낮은 활성이지만 뿌리, 잎, 꽃, 줄기 순으로 높은 활성을 보였다. MTT assay에 의한 세포독성 시험결과 뿌리 추출물이 폐암(Calu-6) ($IC_{50}=196.3\;mgkg^{-1}$)과 대장암 세포주(HCT-116) ($IC_{50}=623.6\;mgkg^{-1}$)에 대해서 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 생리활성물질 함량과 그 활성은 고들빼기 부위별로 다르게 나타났으며 총 페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량은 생리활성과 낮은 연관성을 보였으나 항산화성과 항암활성간에는 높은 상관관계를 보인 것으로 나타났다.
