Salvia plebeia R. Br. is a plant which has been used as an edible crop and traditional medicine in Asian countries. In this study, HPLC-PDA analysis and countercurrent chromatography (CCC) coupled with reversed-phase (RP) HPLC method were applied to isolate ten isolates from 3.3 g of n-butanol soluble extract from hot-water extract of S. plebeia. The use of CCC enabled us to efficiently fractionate the starting material with less sample loss and facilitate the isolation of compounds from S. plebeia extract using RP-HPLC. The isolates were determined to be caffeic acid (1), 6-hydroxyluteolin 7-O-β-D-glucoside (2), eudebeiolide B (3), (R)-rosmarinic acid (4), homoplantaginin (5), eudebeiolide D (6), plebeiolide C (7), salpleflavone (8), eupafolin (9) and hispidulin (10) based on the spectroscopic evidence.

Synurus deltoides (Aiton) Nakai, belonging to the Compositae family, is an edible plant widely distributed in Northeast Asia. In this study, we examined the mechanisms underlying the immunomodulative effects of the ethanol extract of S. deltoides (SDE). The SDE extract strongly down-regulated the mRNA expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, thereby inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and TNF-${\alpha}$ in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, SDE also suppressed the nuclear translocation of the activation protein (AP)-1 and the nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$), and simultaneously decreased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK), p38, and Akt. In agreement with the in vitro observations, the orally administered SDE ameliorated the acute inflammatory symptoms in the arachidonic acid-induced ear edema and the EtOH/HCl-induced gastritis in mice. Therefore, S. deltoides have a potential anti-inflammatory capacity in vitro and in vivo, suggesting the potential therapeutic use in the inflammation-associated disorders.

피부의 주름은 노화과정의 결과로 유도되어지는데, 비효소적 glycation 반응은 주름생성의 원인 중에 하나로 단백질의 비가역적 가교결합에 의해 생성된 최종당화산물(AGEs)이라고 불리는 갈색화합물을 생성한다. 비교적 반감기가 긴 collagen은 쉽게 glycation이 일어나고 collagen의 가교결합(cross-linking)이 일어나면서 여러 단계의 반응을 거쳐 최종적으로 생성된 AGEs가 피부에 축적되어 피부의 탄력감소 및 주름을 일으킨다고 알려져 있다. 피부 내에 glycation된 collagen의 축척은 피부의 탄력성을 유지하는 것을 방해한다. 수종의 식용작물로부터 항주름소재를 개발하기 위하여 메탄올 및 열수추출물을 조제한 후 AGEs 형성을 억제하는 활성을 검색하였다. 먼저 서양향신료 중에서는 월계수잎, 계피, 정향, 오레가노, 로즈마리, 사보리, 팔각과 한약재 중에서는 복분자, 달개비, 삼지구엽초, 가자와 해당화의 메탄올 및 열수추출물에서 최종당화산물 생성 억제활성이 높았다. 그러나 국내 식물 중에서는 단지 참취 및 녹차 추출물의 메탄올과 열수추출물만이 높은 활성을 보였으며 해조류 중에서는 활성이 높은 시료는 없었다.

Whitening agents derived from natural sources which do not have side effects are sought after. Schizophragma hydrangeoides is an edible plant that grows wild on Jeju Island. We aimed to determine whether S. hydrangeoides extracts show anti-melanogenic activity. Here, we found that 70% ethanol extracts of S. hydrangeoides leaf suppressed α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-induced melanogenesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. This activity of anti-melanogenesis in B16F10 cells were investigated by determining melanin content and tyrosinase activity, and by performing western blotting. The 70% ethanol extract downregulated tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1. In addition, the n-hexane fraction of S. hydrangeoides leaf (HFSH) exhibited significant anti-melanogenic activity among the various solvent fractions tested without reducing the viability of B16F10 cells. Taken together, these results indicate that extracts from S. hydrangeoides leaf can influence cellular processes via modulation of tyrosinase activity. Hence, S. hydrangeoides can be used as a whitening agent in the cosmetic industry and as a therapeutic agent for treating hyperpigmentation disorders in the clinic.

The extracts of Pinus densiflora sawdust by n hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol solvent were investigated to identify their mycelial growth inhibition against Lentinus edodes. The yields of n hexane soluble fraction, ethyl acetate-soluble fraction, and methanol soluble fraction from P. densiflora sawdust were obtained 1.36%, 2.21% and 4.03% using organic solvent, respectively. The mycelial growth inhibition of L. edodes was the greatest for n hexane extract, ranging from 36.5% to 47.6% at concentrations of 125 ppm to 1,000 ppm, with the values for all concentrations significantly different from one another. After direct extraction of P. densiflora sawdust using n hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol, each extract was separated into three fractions by silica gel column chromatography and then the fractions were isolated on the values of $R_f$ by thin layer chromatography. The mycelial growth inhibition against L. edodes was recognized in the fractions II (33.5%) and III (37.6%) of n hexane extract, the fraction II (21.4%) of ethyl acetate extract and the fraction II (26.4%) of methanol extract. The fractions III of n-hexane extract showed the highest growth inhibition among the nine fractions of the organic solvent extract.

Rumex vesicarius is an edible herb distributed in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The whole plant has significant value in folk medicine and it has been used to alleviate several diseases. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the major primary malignant tumor of the liver, is one of the most life-threatening human cancers. The goal of the current study was to explore the potent role of Rumex vesicarius extract against HCC induced in rats. Thirty adult male albino rats were divided into 3 groups: (I): Healthy animals received orally 0.9 % normal saline and served as negative control group, (II): HCC group in which rats were orally administered N-nitrosodiethylamine NDEA, (III): HCC group treated orally with R. vesicarius extract in a dose of 400 mg/kg b.wt daily for two months. ALT and AST, ALP and ${\gamma}$-GT activities were estimated. CEA, AFP, AFU, GPC-3, Gp-73 and VEGF levels were quantified. Histopathological examination of liver tissue sections was also carried out. The results of the current study showed that the treatment of the HCC group with R. vesicarius extract reversed the significant increase in liver enzymes activity, CEA, AFP, AFU, glypican 3, golgi 73 and VEGF levels in serum as compared to HCC-untreated counterparts. In addition, the favorable impact of R. vesicarius treatment was evidenced by the marked improvement in the histopathological features of the liver of the treated group. In conclusion, the present experimental setting provided evidence for the significance of R. vesicarius as anticancer candidate with a promising anticancer potential against HCC. The powerful hepatoprotective properties, the potent antiangiogenic activity and the effective antiproliferative capacity are responsible for the anticancer effect of this plant.

This study was aimed to examine the antibacterial and antioxidative properties of seven edible plants from Thailand to develop alternative antibiotics as feed additives. The plants include Citrus aurantifolia Swingle (Lime) fruits and its leaves, Sesbania grandiflora L. (Agati sesbania) leaves, Piper sarmentosum Roxb (Wild betal) leaves, Curcuma domestica Valeton (Turmeric) roots, Morinda citrifolia L. (Beach mulberry) leaves, Cassia siamea britt (Siamea cassia) leaves, and Cocos nucifera L. (Coconut) peels. The plants were extracted by methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. Antibacterial activities with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were determined by agar diffusion assay against Escherichia coli, Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, Haemopilus parasuis, and Clostridium perfringens that were considered pathogenic strains in livestock infection. Methanol extracts of C. aurantifolia Swingle fruits and leaves showed the broadest spectrum of antibacterial activities except for C. perfringens. Butanol extract of S. grandiflora L. leaves showed the strongest activity against Burkholderia sp. with MIC, $135{\mu}g/mL$. P. sarmentosum Roxb leaves showed antibacterial activities against E. coli, Burkholderia sp. and H. parasuis. Ethyl acetate and water extracts from C. domesitca Valeton roots showed MIC of $306{\mu}g/mL$ and $183{\mu}g/mL$, respectively against only C. perfringens. Antioxidative activity was determined by 2-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl photometric assay. The methanol extracts of C. aurantifolia Swingle fruits and P. sarmentosum Roxb leaves showed the highest antioxidant activity among all the extracts with 3.46 mg/mL and 2.70 mg/mL effective concentration 50% ($EC_{50}$) values, respectively. Total contents of phenolics and flavonoids were measured from the plant extracts. Methanol extracts of S. grandiflora L. and chloroform extracts of C. domestica Valeton were found to have the highest amount of total phenolics, 41.7 and $47.8{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Flavonoid content of methanol extracts in S. grandiflora L. T was $22.5{\mu}g/mL$ and the highest among plant extracts tested. These results indicated that C. aurantifolia Swingle, S. grandiflora L., P. sarmentosum Roxb, and C. domestica Valeton have antibacterial and antioxidant activities and can be used as alternative antibiotics or potential feed additives for the control of animal pathogenic bacteria.

본 실험은 식용 가능한 약용식물을 대상으로 하여 항균 활성을 검색하였다. 미생물에 대하여 약용 식물을 50 mg/mL, 100 mg/mL, 200 mg/mL의 농도로 하여 paper disc agar diffusion assay로 항균 활성을 검색한 결과 소목 추출물에서 가장 높은 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 이에 따라 소목의 에탄올 추출물과 열수 추출물을 각각 200 mg/mL, 100 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL의 농도로 하여 paper disc agar diffusion assay로 항균 활성을 검색한 결과 소목 추출물은 그람 양성균에서 높은 항균 활성을 나타내었고, 소목의 에탄올 추출물이 소목의 열수 추출물보다 높은 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 소목 에탄올 추출물과 열수 추출물의 각 분획물을 50 mg/mL의 농도로 하여 paper disc agar diffusion assay로 항균 활성을 검색한 결과 그람 양성균은 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올 층에서 항균 활성을 나타내었고, 그람 음성균은 항균 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 소목의 항균 물질로 추정되는 brazilin은 주로 에틸아세테이트 분획층에 존재하므로 소목 에탄올 추출물에서 클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올의 항균 활성이 유사한 점으로 미루어 brazilin 외에도 다양한 항균 물질이 존재하여 이들이 복합적으로 작용하여 항균 활성을 나타내는 것으로 생각한다. 현재까지 가장 강력한 항생제로 알려진 vancomycin과의 항균 활성을 비교한 결과 50 mg/mL 농도에서 소목 75% 에탄올 추출물의 항균 활성은 vancomycin 2.5 mg/mL를 사용하였을 때와 유사한 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 소목의 추출물을 가지고 미생물에 대한 최소저해농도를 측정한 결과 C. difficile KCTC 5009, L. monocytogens ATCC 19115의 최소저해농도는 0.06 mg/mL였고, S. aureus KCTC 1916에 대한 최소저해농도는 0.03 mg/mL였다. Vancomycin의 유효혈청농도는 0.005~0.04 mg/mL로 견줄만한 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 소목추출물을 가지고 열 및 pH 안정성을 측정한 결과는 항균력은 C. difficile KCTC 5009, L. monocytogens ATCC 19115, S. aureus KCTC 1916에서 모두 대조구와 비슷하게 억제환이 생성되어 소목 추출물의 항균성 물질은 열 및 pH에 대체로 안정한 결과를 보여주었다. 상기 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 소목 에탄올 추출물이 그람 양성균에 대해 항균활성이 뛰어난 것으로 보아 소목을 그람 양성의 병원성 미생물을 억제하기 위한 항균제제 및 기능성 식품의 소재로써 활용할 수 있다고 판단된다.
