Dendropanax morbifera Leveille (Araliaceae) is an endemic species growing in the south-western part of South Korea and has been used in folk medicine. However, the effects of Dendropanax morbifera Lev. on skin biology remain to be elucidated. In this study, we isolated 1-tetradecanol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol from the n-hexane fraction of Dendropanax mobifera Lev. and To investigate the whitening effect of the fraction, we tested the inhibition of tyrosinase activity of 1-tetradecanol. The results show that the inhibitory effect of the 1-tetradecanol was higher than water extract and n-hexane fraction. And 1-tetradecanol significantly reduced melanin contents of B16F10 cells compared to more than water extract and n-haxane fraction dose-dependantly without cell cytotoxicitiy (below $100{\mu}g/mL$). We also investigated the skin moisturizing effect using HR-1 hairless mice. The transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in the 1-tetradecanol treated group was significantly smaller than that in the other groups. To investigate the effect of the preventing hair loss by ${\beta}$-sitosterol, we observed HR-1 hairless mice through periodic growth feature. The results suggest that hair loss of mice by ${\beta}$-sitosterol was delayed and it's hair density showed the highest. These data provide evidence that Dendropanax morbifera Lev. may be a potent candidate for the improvement of both skin whitening, moisturizing and alopecia from the point of cosmetic industry view.

Dendropanax morbifera H.Lev is an evergreen tree that lives in subtropical climates. About 75 species of D. morbifera live in East Asia, but only one species live in Korea(Korean dendropanax). D. morbifera belonging to Aralicacae family 98% of D. morbifera are distributed in Jeollanam-do in the Korea and the grow wild in Gyeongsangnam-do and Jeju Island. The harvest time and usage of D. morbifera were recorded in traditional medicinal books. The roots and stems of D. morbifera had been used for traditional medicine to treat migraine, menstrual irregularity and skin disease. And D. morbifera leaves are contain flavonoids and polyacetylene compounds. In this study, we were investigated the physiological activity of D. morbifera by different areas collected at the same time, and compared to characteristics of plants. D. morbifera collected from Jeollanam-do (Goheung-gun), Gyeongsangnam-do (Namhae-gun) and Jeju Island, and dried at $50^{\circ}C$ for three days. We used dried D. morbifera powder for antioxidant tests. Each sample was extracted with hot water under the same conditions. The contents of total polyphenols and total flavonoids from D. morbifera were identified. Also, we performed to DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS cation radical scavenging activity and Superoxide anion scavenging activity efficacy for antioxidant activity determination. The contents of total polyphenols and total flavonoids in hot water extract of D. morbifera harvested from Gyeongsangnam-do and Jeollanam-do were higher than Jeju. However, D. morbifera harvested from Gyeongsangnam-do and Jeollanam-do showed no significant difference those content of total polyphenols and total flavonoids. And the antioxidant capacity was showed the similar patterns in antioxidant activity.

Dendropanax morbifera Lev.(Araliaceae), Korean endemic and evergreen small tree is a component of evergreen forest and mainly distributed in sourthern region and islands in Korea. The ecological characteristics of 4 natural stands of D. morbifera.(Sundol, Suak, Hannam, and Sangho populations in Cheju island) were studied. In most of the D. morbifera natural stands, the following tree species appeared predominantly: Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii, Carpinus laxiflora, D. morbifera, Quercus glauca, Quercus myrsinaefolia, Camellia japonica, and Acer pseudo-sieboldianum. Two tree species, such as C. cuspidata var. sieboldii and C. laxiflora appeared in the all investigated stands. D. morbifera occupied 17.2% of the upper story, 12.9% of the middle story, and 10.3% of the lower story, respectively. The distribution patterns by Morisita' s Index showed that D. morbifera was distributed randomly in the three stories. The frequency distribution of DBH D. morbifera species showed reverse J-shaped, therefore it seems to remain as a dominant species.

황칠나무(Dendropanax morbifera Lev.)는 두릅나무과(Araliaceae)에 속하며 학명에서 뜻하는 바와 같이 목본 (Dendro), 전능약(Panax)이라는 의미가 있고 나무인삼이라 불리기도 하며 줄기에 상처를 내면 노란액이 나온다고 해서 황칠나무(D. morbifera)라는 이름이 붙여졌다. 두릅나무과는 우리나라에서 최고의 약재들로 손꼽히는 인삼(Panax ginseng), 가시오갈피(Eleutherococcus senticosus) 등의 약용식물을 포함하고 있어서 황칠나무는 황칠수지액 이외에 약용식물로서의 무한한 개발 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 본 실험은 황칠나무의 기내 부정근 유도 및 증식조건의 확립을 목적으로 수행되었다. 우선 황칠나무의 기내 발아체로부터 부위(잎, 줄기, 뿌리)를 달리하여 부정근을 유도한 결과, 잎은 줄기나 뿌리보다 양호한 부정근의 유도를 보였다. 또한 유도된 부정근을 이용하여 옥신의 종류에 따른 부정근 유도율을 조사한 결과 IBA와 NAA는 IAA와 2.4-D보다 높은 유도율을 보였다. IBA의 농도에 따른 유도율과 증식효율은 IBA가 1.0 mg/L 첨가되었을 때 가장 높은 유도 및 증식효율을 보였다. 최적의 액체배지조건을 확인하고자 sucrose의 농도와 염농도를 달리하여 실험한 결과 1/2MS 배지는 MS 배지보다 10%정도 높은 증식율을 보였다. 액체배양 된 황칠나무의 부정근을 각각 1/2MS 배지에 30 g/L sucrose, 3.0 mg/L IBA가 첨가된 5 L volume 생물반응기에 4주 간 배양한 대조구와 2주 후 IBA의 농도를 1.0으로 낮추어 배양한 실험구에서 2주후 IBA의 농도를 낮추어 배양한 실험구에서 대조구보다 약 2배 높은 부정근의 증식량을 보였다. 결국, 황칠나무의 종자발아체를 이용하여 부정근의 유도 및 증식조건에 필요한 기내배양조건을 확립하였고, 플라스크와 생물반응기 배양을 통해 효율적인 실험실 내 증식조건을 확립하였다. 본 실험결과는 향후 황칠나무 천연추출물을 활용한 향장품/식,의약품 소재의 대량확보 차원에서 중요한 가치를 내포하고 있다고 조심스럽게 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to improve the nutrition and the permeability of functional plants by using cryogenic grinding technology. Barley sprouts, Curcuma longa L., Dendropanax morbifera LEV., Phellinus linteus were dried, ground and extracted in different temperature conditions. Powder size of barley sprouts and Curcuma longa L. were about $50{\mu}m$ and Dendropanax morbifera LEV. and Phellinus linteus were about $20{\mu}m$. Cryogenic ground of Barley sprouts preserved 18.27-124.65% of nutrients such as protein, ash, carbohydrate, beta carotene, minerals, vitamins. Cryogenic grinding powder of Curcuma longa L. show high nutrients retention rate of lipid and carbohydrate. Permeability was measured by Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay (PAMPA) to predict passive gastrointestinal absorption. Permeability of saponarin, which is marker compound of Barley sprouts, is 9.88 times higher in cryogenic grinding powder than ambient grinding powder. Curcumin permability is 3.1 times higher than ambient grinded powder. As a result, particle size, nutrition, protein digestion degree and permeability demonstrated a positive relationship with the decreasing grinding temperature for the powders. These results confirm that the cryogenic grinding method had good suitability to increase functionality of plants, since it could minimize the heat generated while processing and effectively reduce the particle size.
