To improve industrial scale extraction method for extraction of icariin from Epimedium koreanum Nakai, the yields under different extracting conditions such as solvent, temperature, duration and solvent to plant material weight ratio were compared. Regarding extracting solution, highest extracts and icariin yield could be achieved when 10% EtOH was used. In case of plant material to extracting solvent ratio, no significant differences could be observed from 1/10 to 1/50, indicating 1/10 was the most efficient. Extracting temperature significantly affected extracts and icariin yields in that 9$0^{\circ}C$ increased the collected extracts and icariin contents up to 29.6% and 0.76%, respectively, compared to 27.2%, 0.33% at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The yield of extracts was less dependent upon extracting temperature compared to icariin yield. Regarding extraction time, 4 hr and 6 hr resulted in high extracts and icariin yield, respectively. We found extracting Epimedium koreanum Nakai in 10 times volume of 10% EtOH for 4 and 6 hr at 9$0^{\circ}C$ seem to be relatively efficient methods for extracts and icariin, respectively.

척수감각신경절세포에 대한 산소자유기의 신경독성효과에 대한 기전을 규명하기 위하여 여러 농도의 Glucose Oxidase(GO)를 배양 척수 감각신경절세포에 처리한 후 GO의 독성효과를 분석하였으며 또한 GO에 의하여 유발된 신경독성에 대한 음양곽(Epimedium Koreanum Nakai)의 방어효과를 MTT assay법에 의하여 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. GO는 신경세포에 처리한 농도와 시간에 비례하여 세포의 생존율을 유의하게 감소시켰으며, 또한 음양곽이 GO의 독성효과를 효과적으로 방어하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 산소자유기인 GO는 생쥐의 배양 척수감각신경절세포에 독성을 나타냈으며 음양곽과 같은 한약추출물이 GO의 독성을 방어하는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the effects of major constituents of Epimedium koreanum Nakai (Icariin, epimedium A, epimedium B, and epimedium C) on melanin synthesis. Methods : We measured melanin contents, tyrosinase activity, and expression of Rab27a in B16F10 cells cultured with Epimedium koreanum Nakai ethanol extract (EKN) and their major constituents. After treatment with H89 and dibutyryl cAMP, which inhibit or promote the activation of PKA, we observed changes in melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity stimulated by EKN. Results : Among them, EKN and icariin enhanced tyrosinase activity and melanin contents. We confirmed that EKN augmented melanin synthesis via cAMP/PKA pathway. Icariin-induced tyrosinase activity and melanin content were attenuated by PKA inhibitor H89, while melanogenic effect of icariin was further augmented by cAMP analog, dbc AMP. However, icariin did not affect the expression of small GTPase Rab27a involved in melanosome transport. Conclusions : These results suggest that icariin promotes melanogenesis through cAMP/PKA pathway but does not affect small GTPase Rab27a.

Ten flavonol glycosides, 3,4,5-trihydroxy-8-prenylflavone 7-O-[${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}2$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside] (1), hyperoside (2), icarisid II (3), 2"-O-Rhamnosylicarisid II (4), epimedin A (5), epimedin B (6), epimedin C (7), icariin (8), hexandraside E (9), and epimedoside A (10) were isolated from the an ethylacetate soluble extracts of the aerial parts of Epimedium koreanum Nakai through activity-monitord fractionation and isolation method. The structures of compounds 1 - 10 were elucidated by high resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and two dimentional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis. Compounds 1 and 4 showed potent antioxidant activity, with $IC_{50}$ values of 19.7 and 11.5 ${\mu}g$/mL and 88.2 and 90.5 ${\mu}M$, respectively.

To investigate how the aqueous extracts of Epimedium koreanum Nakai (EK) affects pigmentation of skin, the aqueous extract of EK at various concentrations were incubated with 1 $\times$ 10$^{5}$ melanoma cells per well for 72 h. The morphology and number of cell line were not changed, but the aqueous extract of EK increased the tyrosinase activity and the content of melanin polymer in the cell line. These results indicate that the aqueous extract of EK promotes melanogenesis of Bl6 mouse melanoma cell line.

삼지구엽초의 각 부분(잎, 줄기, 뿌리)을 MeOH로 추출한 후 농축하고 핵산, 클로로포름, 부탄올, 에틸아세테이트 및 수용성으로 분획하여 동결건조하였다. 각 추출물은 메탄을 수용액 및 에탄올-핵산 혼합액을 사용하여 Sephadex LH-20 칼럼크로마토그래피로 화합물을 분리 한 후 TBA 및 6% 초산에 전개하는 셀룰로오스 박층 크로마토그래피로 단리물질을 확인하였다. 단리물질의 화학적 구조는 $^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR$ 및 질량 분석으로 결정하였으며 단일화합물로 정제된 물질은 caffeic acid를 비롯하여 flavonoid와 그 배당체 화합물인 icariin, caffeic acid, hyperoside, Ikarisoside A, (+)-catechin이었다. 또한, 각 부분의 클로로포름 분획을 GC/MS (Libraries search)를 이용하여 정성분석을 실시하였다.

In this study, we investigated the effects by age of long-tenn supplementation of Epimedium koreanum Nakai (EKN)-containing water on the in vivo antioxidant capacities of rats. All rats were reared in a conventional system, and none of the rats showed any signs of aversion to the EKN solution. Neither the mean nor maximum life spans of the rats were extended by long-tenn administration of the solution. The EKN extract caused decreases in the levels of serum thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the rats. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione (GSH) peroxidase within the liver cytosol decreased with age in both the control and EKN-supplemented groups. GSH peroxidase activity, however, was higher at old age in the EKN-supplemented group. The activities of GSH reductase and GSH-S-transferase, and the levels of free-sulfhydryl (SH) and total-SH group gradually decreased with age in both groups. However, there was some tendency for higher levels in the EKN supplemented group at a corresponding age. These results indicate that long-tenn supplementation of EKN water extracts alone does not exhibit discernible adverse effects in rats, and has some enhancing effects on the antioxidant capacities of the blood and liver, but it does not have life-prolonging effects.

In this study, ethanol extract of Epimedium koreanum Nakai(EEKN) enhanced melanogenesis by inducing expression of tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1). But EEKN did not increase the protein expression of tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP-2). Moreover, EEKN enhanced tyrosinase activity and melanin contents of B16F10 cells. EEKN raised the expression of CREB phosphorylation and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) as a key transcription factor for tyrosinase expression regulating melanogenesis. And PKC inhibitor H89 supressed that EEKN induced tyrosinase activity, melanin contents, and expression of tyrosinase, TRP-1. These results suggest that melanogenesis-promoting effect of EEKN was correlated with regulation of tyrosinase and TRP-1 protein through cAMP/PKC pathway.

본 연구에서는 삼지구엽초의 뿌리, 줄기, 잎의 부위별 항산화 활성을 알아보기 위하여 각 부위를 70% 에탄올 용액을 이용하여 얻은 추출물의 총페놀 함량, 총플라보노이드 함량, DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성, ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성, 미오글로빈 보호 효과, FRAP를 추출 농도별(1, 2, 10, 20 mg/mL)로 측정하였다. 부위별 총페놀 함량의 경우 뿌리(2.468 mg), 잎(2.307 mg), 줄기(2.277 mg) 순으로 함량이 높았으며, 총플라보노이드 함량은 뿌리(2.071 mg), 잎(1.875 mg), 줄기(0.616 mg)로 순으로 측정되었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성, 미오글로빈 보호 효과 그리고 FRAP 실험에서는 농도 의존적으로 항산화 활성을 보였으며 플라보노이드 및 페놀성 화합물의 함량이 적은 줄기에 비하여 잎과 뿌리의 추출물의 활성이 좋았고 ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성의 경우 뿌리 추출물의 활성이 가장 높았다. 이는 총페놀 함량과 총플라보노이드의 함량이 항산화 활성에 상관관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 삼지구엽초는 주로 잎 부분이 식용으로 쓰이고 있으며 최근 지상부만을 제한적으로 식품원료로 허용하고 있는데 본 연구를 통하여 지상부 외에 지하부에서도 항산화 활성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다.
