The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effect of medicinal plants used by diabetic patients. Fourteen medicinal plants were selected and antioxidant activity such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, inhibition effect of linoleic acid autoxidation and low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value were measured. The Cornus officinalis had DPPH radical scavenging activity of 84.79%, which was higher than the 78.79% for $\alpha$-tocopherol. Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Pueraria thundergiana Bentham, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis and Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai also had high values. Extracts with higher DPPH radical scavenging activities had higher total phenol concentrations, and positive correlations between these parameters were found. Inhibitory activities of linoleic acid autoxidation, LDL oxidation and TBA value, used as indices of oxidative stress, were observed in most of the selected medicinal plants. The highest inhibitory activity for TBA value was observed in the extract of Pueraria thundergiana Bentham. Rosa rugosa Thunberg (75.50 %), Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai (74.00 %), and Cornus officinalis (73.00 %) all had high antioxidant activity against linoleic acid autoxidation, similar to that of $\alpha$-tocopherol. The same 3 plants also had high in inhibitory activity against LDL oxidation. Therefore, we demonstrated that medicinal plants used as folk remedy by diabetic patients had antioxidant activity. Especially, Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Cornus officinalis, Pueraria thundergiana Bentham, Arlemisia princeps var. orientalis, and Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai had high phenol concentrations which resulted in high values for DPPH radical scavenging. These same plants exhibited high values for inhibitory activities for TBA value, linoleic acid autoxidation and LDL oxidation, indices associated with lipid peroxidation.

We isolated gallotannin, 2,6-digalloyl-1,5-anhydroglucitol, known as acertannin (1), from the barks and xylems of Acer ginnala Maxim. It is a genus of Acer species of shrubs in the family Aceraceae. A. ginnala grows in Korea, Japan and Mongolia. We accomplished the structure elucidation by confirming that the result of $^1H$,$^{13}C-NMR$,MS spectrum data was similar to previous references. We measured DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity in vitro to evaluate anti-oxidative activities on acertannin isolated from A. ginnala. Acertannin from A. ginnala exhibited potent DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. We examined the antioxidant and apoptosis modulative effects. This examination shows that A. ginnala has not only 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity, but also human hair dermal papilla cell protection effects. These results indicate that the barks and xylems of A. ginnala might be developed as a potent anti-oxidant, hair growth agent, and ingredient for related new functional cosmetic materials.

Hygrophila auriculata (K. Schum.) Heine is a wild herb commonly found in moist places on the banks of tanks, ditches and paddy fields throughout India and is one of the main sources of Ayurvedic 'Rasayana' drug. The free radical scavenging potential of 50% aqueous alcoholic extract of H. auriculata (HAEt) was studied for DPPH scavenging activity, nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical and ferryl bipyridyl complex scavenging activity along with lipid peroxidation and total antioxidant capacity inhibition using Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in rat liver homogenate. Integral antioxidative capacity was determined by photochemiluminescence assay. HAEt showed good radical scavenging activity at various concentrations $(200-1000\;{\mu}g/ml)$ against 1,1 diphenyl, 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (32.32-77.02%) with moderate scavenging activity against Nitric oxide (12.46-52.84%), hydroxyl radical (11.69-55.26%), ferryl bipyridyl complex (17.66-58.67%) and lipid peroxidation (0.829-0.416nmoles/mg protein). The above results indicate HAEt to be very effective antioxidant. It was suggested that the varied therapeutic activities claimed for the plant in the Indian indigenous systems of medicine may be in the part due to the free radical scavenging and/ or potent antioxidant activity.

The antioxidant potency of methanolic extract Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn. (MECI), which are widely used in the Indian indigenous system of medicine for different purposes, was studied. The antioxidant potential was evaluated using different established in vitro antioxidant tests viz. determination of total amount of polyphenolics compounds, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, nitric oxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydroxyl radical scavenging and reductive power assay. It was found that MECI contain a high amount of polyphenolics and possesses significant free radical scavenging activity in all the assay. The higher activity was may be due to presence of richest amount of polyphenolics and flavonoids in it.

The MeOH extract of Sorbus commixta (Rosaceae) exhibited strong DPPH radical scavenging activity, and through activity-guided fractionation two antioxidant compounds were isolated and identified as $catechin-7-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (1) and $catechin-7-O-\;{\beta}-D-apiofuranoside$ (2) by physicochemical and spectrometric methods. To evaluate the antioxidant effect of these compounds, some in vitro tests, such as the DPPH radical scavenging activity test, the superoxide radical scavenging activity test and the lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity test, were performed. Compounds 1 and 2 showed stronger activities than both a-tocopherol and butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA) in each assay.

This study examined the quality characteristics of brown rice Sulgidduk containing acorn powder and the optimal mixing rate (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%). The moisture contents of brown rice Sulgidduk increased with increasing amount of acorn powder. The DPPH free radical scavenging activities (16.15%~28.06%) and ABTS free radical scavenging activities (22.98%~42.81%) of the brown rice Sulgidduk increased with increasing acorn powder content. The L value of the Hunter's color value decreased with increasing amount of acorn powder. The hardness and chewiness of brown rice Sulgidduk increased with increasing amount of acorn powder. The brown rice Sulgidduk containing 10% acorn powder showed the highest score with regard to the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that the most desirable amount of acorn powder is 10% and the addition of acorn powder could contribute positively toward the quality characteristics of brown rice Sulgidduk.

본 연구는 국화과 식물 16종 지상부의 페놀성물질 함량, radical 소거능, $Fe^{2+}$ chelating 효과 및 linoleic acid 과산화 억제활성을 분석하여 천연 항산화제 개발에 적합한 식물 소재를 탐색하기 위하여 시행하였다. 연구의 결과, 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 저먼캐모마일의 지상부에서 가장 우수하였다. DPPH radical 소거능은 에키나세아 지상부 추출물, ABTS radical 소거능은 산비장이 추출물에서 가장 우수하였다. 15종의 국화과 지상부 추출물은 ascorbic acid와 BHT 보다 DPPH radical 소거능은 낮았으나, 산비장이 추출물의 ABTS radical 소거능은 ascorbic acid와 BHT 보다 우수하였으며 알프스민들레, 에키나세아 및 저먼캐모마일 추출물은 BHT 보다 ABTS radical 소거능이 높았다. $Fe^{2+}$ chelating 효과는 저먼캐모마일 추출물에서 기장 높았으나, EDTA보다 chelating 효과가 현저히 낮았다. 지질과산화 억제활성은 등골나물 추출물에서 기장 높았으며, 반응 4일 후에는 90.06%, 24일 후에는 40.52%의 억제활성을 보여 BHT 보다 지질과산화 억제효과가 높고 오랫동안 억제활성이 유지되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 그동안 꽃을 위주로 사용하였던 저먼캐모마일의 잎줄기가 항산화효과가 우수하다는 것이 밝혀졌으며, 차후 저먼캐모마일 지상부의 활용방안이 증대될 것으로 기대된다. 또한 식물종에 따라 우수한 항산화활성이 각기 다르므로 본 연구결과를 기초로 하여 목적으로 하는 항산화 기능성에 맞는 식물성 항산화제를 개발할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
