The aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of 14 kinds of citrus oils and to test their biological activities. Citrus essential oils were obtained by steam distillation from immature fruits collected from Jeju Island and were analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC)-flame ionization detectors (FID) and GC-MS. Limonene (55.4% to 91.7%), myrcene (2.1% to 32.1%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (0.6% to 1.6%) and linalool (0.4% to 6.9%) were the major components in most citrus species. To evaluate in vitro antibacterial activity, all essential oils were tested against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Nine out of fourteen citrus oils exhibited antibacterial activity against P. acnes, but not against S. epidermidis. The effects of the citrus oils on DPPH radical scavenging, superoxide radical anion scavenging, nitric oxide radical, and cytotoxicity were also assessed. Three essential citrus oils, Joadeung, Dongjunggyul, and Bujiwha, exhibited potent inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production. Two essential oils, Dongjunggyul and Joadeung, showed potent free radical scavenging activities in the DPPH assay. For future applications in cosmetic products, we also performed MTT assays in a human dermal fibroblast cell line. The majority of the essential oils showed no cytotoxicity. The results indicate that citrus essential oils can be useful natural agents for cosmetic application.

노화와 연관하여 설련의 항산화 효과, in vitro MMP 활성 저해능, 자외선 조사에 의해 유도된 MMP-1 발현에 대한 영향을 사람섬유아세포를 이용하여 확인하였다. 설련의 항산화 효과를 알아보기 위하여 DPPH radical과 superoxide anion radical 소거효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과 DPPH radical 소거능의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 $3.89{\mu}g/mL$이고, xanthine/xanthine oxidase에 의한 superoxide anion radical 제거능의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 $67.29{\mu}g/mL$이었다. 설련 $1000{\mu}g/mL$에서 93.27%의 지질과산화 저해효과를 나타내었다. MMP-1의 효소활성 저해 효과는 농도 의존적으로 활성을 억제하였으며, $IC_{50}$ 값은 $97.18{\mu}g/mL$이다. 또한 자외선 조사에 의해 사람 섬유아세포에서 발현되는 MMP-1에 대해 단백질의 양적인 변화는 42.86% 감소되었으며, 설련에 의해 농도 의존적으로 MMP-1 mRNA의 발현량도 감소되었다. 이러한 실험결과를 통하여 설련은 항산화 효과뿐만 아니라 자외선 조사에 의해 유도되는 MMP-1 단백질 발현과 mRNA 유전자 수준에서의 조절이 가능함을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 설련은 항산화와 자외선으로부터 생성되는 MMP-1의 발현을 저해함으로써 노화와 따른 피부를 보호하는 항노화 소재로서의 응용가능성을 확인하였다.

To investigate the effect of Plantago asiatica L. Root extract on skin care, we measured anti-oxidant activity and whitening action. As a result of measuring DPPH radical scavenging activity to examine independent anti-oxidation of PRE, there was slight scavenging activity. Fluorescent materials DHE, DCF-DA and DHR were each used to measure superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroperoxide created in RAW 264.7 cells, all concentrations were found to dependently prevent ROS production. Tyrosinase activation was found to be blocked dose-dependant. Melanin production was also prevented dose-dependant, but the effects were slight. Therefore, it is expected to be used effectively in development of functional cosmetic materials.

This study was undertaken to elucidate the antioxidant activity of the ethanol (EEPB) and water (WEPB) extracts of Prunus persica branches. The extracts contained a high phenolic content and revealed a potent hydrogen donating activity in DPPH scavenging assay. Compared to $\alpha$-tocopherol, EEPB (p < 0.001) and WEPB (p < 0.05) significantly inhibited $FeCl_2$-ascorbic acid-induced lipid peroxidation, and also exhibited potent antiradical activities against hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite. In copper- and AAPH-mediated human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation systems, the extracts demonstrated a strong antioxidant function by metal chelating, rather than direct scavenging, action. Furthermore, EEPB at 5 ${\mu}g/mL$ concentration showed 80.77% inhibition of the electrophoretic mobility of LDL, compared to 77.69% for ascorbic acid and 76.92% for BHT. These results suggest that PB branch extracts may protect against oxidative stress-induced diseases.

The antioxidant activities of a methanolic extract of Eisenia bicyclis and its organic solvent fractions, including dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water ($H_2O$) fractions, were investigated. Scavenging activities against DPPH, hydroxyl, superoxide anion, and peroxynitrite radicals were evaluated using electron spin resonance spectrometry; intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated by a 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate assay using RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. The antioxidant activities of the individual fractions were: EtOAc>n-BuOH>$CH_2Cl_2$ >$H_2O$. The EtOAc fraction exhibited strong radical scavenging activity and a significantly reduced ROS level in RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, the phenolic contents of the extract and fractions followed the same order as their radical scavenging activities. Our results indicate that E. bicyclis is a valuable natural source of antioxidants that may be applicable to the functional food industry.

Laver is one of the most consumed edible red algae seaweeds in the genus Porphyra. Laver is primarily prepared in the form of dried, roasted, and seasoned products. We investigated the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of laver products, and evaluated the in vitro antioxidant properties of solvent extracts from commercially processed laver products. Significant differences in the concentration of phenolic compounds were found among differently processed laver. The total phenolic content for laver extracts ranged from 10.81 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract to 32.14 mg GAE/g extract, depending on extraction solvent and temperature. Laver extracts contained very few flavonoids (0.55 mg catechin equivalent/g extracts to 1.75 mg catechin equivalent/g extracts). 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), hydroxyl radical, and superoxide anion scavenging assays were used to determine the radical scavenging capacities of laver extracts. These assays revealed that the processing method and extraction condition affected the antioxidant potentials of laver. Antioxidant activity of dried laver, roasted laver, and seasoned laver increased in a concentration-dependent manner ($100{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$). The radical scavenging activities of $37^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ water extracts were lower than that of a $37^{\circ}C$ 70% ethanol extract. The highest radical scavenging capacity was observed in the $37^{\circ}C$ 70% ethanol extracts of dried laver, roasted laver, and seasoned laver. Overall, these results support that notion that laver contains bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which may have a positive effect on health.

Acanthopanax species have traditionally been used as a tonic, a sedative as well as in the treatment of rheumatism, hypertension and diabetes. In the present study, oxidative stress was induced in Vero cells by incubating the cells with glucose and the cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The concentration of glucose which 50% of cell viability was 125 mM $(IC_{50})$ and the cell viability was increased to $87.6{\pm}8.8%$ by treatment of the extracts of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus. The antioxidative activity of water extract of different parts of the Acanthopanax plant was investigated by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, xylenol orange assay, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) assay and enzyme (superoxide anion and catalase) assay. Each extract (leaves, root, stem and fruits) of the plant showed free radical and $H_2O_2$ scavenging activity. The extract also inhibited lipid peroxidation and recovered enzyme (superoxide anion dismutase and catalase) activity in Vero cells treated with glucose.

Phytochemical study on the EtOAc fraction from the MeOH extract of the leaves of Cedrela sinensis led to the isolation of five known phenolic compounds (1-5), whose structures were identified as (+)-catechin (1), $kaempferol-3-0-{\alpha}- L-rhamnopyranoside$ (2), quercetin (3), $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranoside$ (4), and $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (5), respectively, by comparing their spectral $(uv,\;JR,\;IH\;and\;^{13}C-NMR,\;and\;ESI-MS)$ and physicochemical data with those reported in the literature. Among the isolated compounds (1-5), compounds 1 and 3-5 exhibited significant DPPH radical scavenging effects with $IC{_50}$ values ranging from $21.3{\pm}1.4\;to\;38.1{\pm}3.2 {\mu}M$ as well as superoxide anion radical scavenging effects with $IC{_50}$ values ranging from $9.4{\pm}0.7\;to\;21.2{\pm}3.6 {\mu}M$. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 3-5 also exhibited considerable inhibitory effects on LDL peroxidation induced by either $CU^{2+}$ or AAPH with $IC{_50}$ values ranging from $1.4{\pm}0.4\;to\;11.9{\pm}1.4\;{\mu}M$. These results indicated that flavonoids are the major constituents of C. sinensis and considered to be antioxidant principles of this plant.

노랑느타리버섯을 물, 30%, 60% 및 90% 에탄올로 추출용매를 달리하여 추출한 추출물을 각각 농도를 달리하여 항산화 및 생리활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 DPPH radical 소거능은 각 추출물 농도가 1 mg/mL일 때 모든 추출조건에서 24.34~31.15%의 다소 낮은 활성을 보였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 에탄올 추출물에 비해 물 추출물이 더 많은 페놀을 함유하고 있었고 이때 물 추출물이 26.34 mg/g으로 가장 많았다(P<0.05). SOD 유사활성 측정 결과 추출조건에 따른 경향은 보이지 않았으나, 표준물질인 ascorbic acid와 비교하였을 때 노랑느타리버섯의 활성이 2배 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. ACE 저해 활성의 경우 에탄올 추출물의 활성이 높은 경향을 보였으나 모든 추출물이 35.99~57.42%로 비교적 낮은 활성을 보였다. 노랑느타리버섯의 아질산염 소거능 측정에서는 pH 3.0에서 높게 나타났고, 추출조건에 따라 60% 에탄올 추출물의 소거능이 가장 우수하였다. 이와 같이 노랑느타리의 다양한 항산화 및 생리활성을 기초자료로 한 천연물 유래의 기능성 소재 발굴 및 연구 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
