We studied the total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition of water extracts from 17 medicinal plants. Total polyphenol contents ranged from 10.0 (Coix lachryma-jobi L, CL) ~ 279.7 (Perilla sikokiana, PS)mg/g. The water extract from medicinal plants were evaluated for its free radical scavenging activities and compared with a commercial antioxidant, ascorbic acid. DPPH radical scavenging activity of Pyrus pyrifolia (PP), Chamaecyparis obtusa L. (COL), Chamaecyparis obtusa F. (COF), and PS were higher than positive control. Higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were shown in Acanthopanax senticosus (AS) and Cordyceps militaris (CM) than the other plants. The highest anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was observed in Cornus officinalis (CO) and Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews (PSA) water extracts. PSA showed not only the higher DPPH radical scavenging activity but also the anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity. The results of our study that PP, COL, COF, PS, AS, CM, CO and PSA could be potential candidates for natural antioxidants.

Objectives : This study was conducted to compare antioxidant activity of ratio-related Angelicae Radix and Astragali Radix compositions by DPPH radical scavenging activity. Methods : The species of Angelicae Radix was compared as Angelica gigas, A. sinensis and A. acutiloba. Then various compositions of Angelicae Radix with Astragali Radix were prepared with different ratio. Diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was measured after 10, 20 and 30 minutes. Each extracts were tested by 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentrations. Results : The results showed that Angelica gigas, A. sinensis and A. acutiloba scavenged DPPH radical with 66.8, 61.7 and 56.7% in 1,000 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentration, respectively.

In order to screen new radical scavenging principle which is expected to be antiaging drug lead, we have isolated 160 strains of the marine-derived fungi and investigated 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity for their acetone extracts. The significant activities (>50% Inhibition) were observed in 8 strains of fungi (MFA006, MFA0l4, MFA040, MFA133, MFA139, MFA143, MFA148, MFA153), and among them, MFA153 (Aspergillus parasiticus) showed the most significant radical scavenging activity. The active components were purified by assay-guided isolation to yield two known benzyl alcohols, l53B3 (1) and l53B4 (2), and their structures were determined by physicochemical evidence. Two compounds (1,2) showed the significant radical scavenging activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 0.6 and $1.4{\mu}M$ against DPPH, respectively.

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.

The antimicrobial and antioxidative activities were investigated to confirm the utility of wood vinegar. Antimicrobial activity was performed by paper disc method and liquid culture. The growth inhibition was observed in all microbial species at a dose of as low as 25 $\mu$m of wood vinegar by paper disc method. Also, in liquid culture, S. cerevisiae and P. aeruginosa were more inhibited the growth than others in the concentration of $2\%$ (v/v). For measuring of antioxidative activity, wood vinegar was fractionated with acidic, phenolic, basic and neutral fraction; and their antioxidant activities were measured by the radical scavenging effect on DPPH radical. In four fractions, phenolic fraction showed high antioxidative activity.

The aim of this study is to examine the radical scavenging activity of perilla and sesame oil that Koreans traditionally consume. For DPPH radical scavenging activity, oil and its hexane/70% methanol extracts (ME) are used and for superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, ME are used. Unrefined perilla oil, sesame oil, and refined sunflower oil are used. The yields for ME of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil are 0.57, 0.61, and 0.30%, respectively, and the amounts of phenolic compounds in ME of corresponding oil are 18.77, 88.64 and $0.05\;{\mu}g$ tannic acid/mg, respectively. $IC_{50}$ for DPPH scavenging activity of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil are 2.12, 1.91, and 3.35 mg/mL, respectively and those for ME of corresponding oils are 0.42, 0.07, and 43.11 mg/mL, respectively. In DPPH assay, the solvent used for oil sample is iso-octane and that for ME is methanol. Superoxide anion scavenging activity of ME of perilla, sesame and sunflower oil tested at 1 mg/mL concentration are 21.10, 13.25, and 3.14%, respectively. Hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of those samples tested at 1 mg/mL concentration are 86.08, 93.30, and 93.17%, respectively. In summary, the refining process seems to remove the phenolic compound during oil processing. Antiradical substances in perilla and sesame oils responsible for scavenging DPPH radicals are present in the methanol fraction, while the antiradical substances in the sunflower oil are in the lipid fraction. DPPH scavenging activity of ME of sesame oil is significantly higher than that of perilla oil (p<0.05). However, superoxide anion scavenging capacity of ME of perilla oils was found to be greater than that of both sesame and sunflower oils (p<0.05).

In this study we evaluated polyphenol contents, phytate contents, and antioxidant activities (DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity) in several soybean cultivars. The polyphenol contents of the cultivars ranged from 0.0446 mg/g to 0.0652 mg/g, with the highest level found in the WS82 cultivar, whereas and the lowest in Duyukong. The phytate content of the WS2906 cultivar was the highest at 22.28 mg/g whereas Duyukong showed the lowest level. $IC_50$ values (concentration of soybean extract exerting 50% scavenging of radicals) for DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity showed the highest in WS82. A positive correlation between DPPH radical scavenging activity and polyphenol contents was observed in the soybean cultivars, whereas not significant relationship between antioxidant activity and phytate content was found.

양파의 매운 맛과 냄새를 감소시켜 섭취가 용이하도록 제조된 흑양파가 항산화 활성이 있다고 보고되어있어서 흑양파로부터 항산화 활성물질을 구명하고자 하였다. 흑양파 MeOH 추출물을 용매분획하여 얻어진 분획물들 중 EtOAc층이 높은 DPPH와 $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging 활성이 있었다. 그래서 EtOAc층을 silica gel과 Sephadex LH-20 등의 column chromatography를 이용하여 2종의 항산화 활성물질을 분리하였다. 단리한 이들 화합물을 대상으로 ESI-MS 및 NMR 분석을 통하여 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (1)와 quercetin (2)로 각각 동정하였다. 이 화합물들은 $ABTS^+$ 및 DPPH radical scavenging 활성이 있었으며, 화합물 2는 화합물 1에 비해 더 높은 radical scavenging 활성이 있었다.

본 연구에서는 전통적으로 약으로써 이용되었거나 민간요법으로 사용되던 식물을 문헌고찰을 통해 40여종(자생식물 26종과 생약식물 14종)을 선발하여, 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량 측정 및 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 측정하였다. 자생식물인 비수리의 폴리페놀(228.90 mg/g extract)과 플라보노이드 함량(90.15 mg/g extract)이 가장 높았으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거능(75.69%)이 모두 높게 나타났다. 감나무와 관중의 폴리페놀 함량(감나무 112.98 mg/g extract, 관중 121.46 mg/g extract)과 플라보노이드 함량(감나무 46.10 mg/g extract, 관중 58.69 mg/g extract)은 높은 편은 아니었으나, DPPH라디칼 소거능은 각각 72.87%와 79.50%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 생약식물에서는 삼백초의 총 폴리페놀함량이 194.60 mg/g extract, 애엽이 203.93 mg/g extract로 폴리페놀 함량이 높았으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거능(삼백초 66.27%, 애엽 66.22%) 또한 높게 나타났다. 그러나 삼백초와 애엽을 제외한 12종류의 생약식물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능이 50% 미만인 것으로 조사되었다. 최근에 다양한 자생식물과 약용식물의 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드 함량 및 기능성 탐색에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있지만, 아직까지도 연구되지 않은 무수히 많은 식물 소재들이 많아서 지속적인 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구 결과, 그 동안 대중화 되어있지 않았던 식물 소재들의 기능성 소재로의 가능성이 새롭게 조명 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되며 이와 관련된 의약품, 미용제품 및 건강보조식품 등의 개발에 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 향후 본 연구에서 조사한 자생식물과 생약식물 중 총 폴리페놀함량과 플라보노이드 함량이 높고, DPPH 라디칼 소거능이 뛰어나게 나타난 몇몇 식물에 대한 심도 있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
