본 연구는 고마리 추출물이 가지는 항염증 활성을 알아보기 위하여 쥐의 대식세포(RAW264.7 cell)에 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)를 처리하여 염증반응을 유도하고 이때 발생되는 Nitric oxide (NO)의 생성 억제를 확인하였다. 또한 염증에서 중요하게 알려져 있는 Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$) 단백질들의 발현을 비교하였고, 추가적으로 NF-${\kappa}B$ 단백질의 핵 내부로의 이전 및 활성을 확인하였다. 메탄올 추출물은 NO 생성 및 iNOS, COX-2, NF-${\kappa}B$ 단백질의 발현을 억제하고, 세포를 보호하는 효과를 가지는 Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) 단백질의 발현을 증가시켰다. 위 결과를 바탕으로 하여 n-butanol, hexane, ethyl acetate 용매를 이용한 추가적인 분획을 실시하였다. 이들 분획 중 고마리의 ethyl acetate 추출물은 Prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), NO 생성을 억제 하였으며, iNOS, COX-2 단백질들의 발현을 감소, NF-${\kappa}B$의 핵 내부로의 이동을 억제하는 효과가 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 고마리 식물이 좋은 항염증 활성을 가지고 있음을 나타내며, 지속적인 분획으로 고마리 식물이 가지는 항염증 활성 물질을 선별하여 그 작용기작을 규명하는 연구가 필요하다.

Alismatis Rhizoma is originated from the rhizome of Alisma plantago-aquatica L. var. orientale Samuelson or A. canaliculatum A. Br. et Bouche (Alismataceae). Prostane-type triterpenes, guaiane-type sesquiterpenes, and kaurane-type diterpenes have been reported as the main canstituents from these plants. Four prostane-type triterpenes. alisol B 23-acetate (1). alisol C 23-acetate (2), alisol B (3). and alisol A 24-actate (4). were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of this dried rhizome.

The EtOAc soluble fraction from the stem of Sorghum bicolor showed a strong free radical scavenging activity. Five major compounds were isolated from this fraction. They were identified by spectral data as methyl ferulate (1), methyl p-hydroxycinnamate (2), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3), tricin (4), and quercetin 3,4 -dimethyl ether (5). Among these compounds, 1 exhibited a strong, free radical scavenging activity on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with an $IC_50$ value of 0.7 $\mu$M. We further studied the effects of these isolated compounds on the lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes induced by non-enzymatic method. All five compounds showed anti-lipid peroxidation activity ($IC_50$ values of 0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and 0.3 $\mu$ M, respectively).

Recent interest in the possible protective effects of dietary antioxidant compounds against human degenerative disease has prompted investigation of foods such as blueberries, which have a high antioxidant capacity. This study was performed to determine the antioxidative activity of methanol extract and solvent fractions from blueberry. Blueberry was extracted with methanol and then fractionated with n-hexane, EtOAc, BuOH and water to get active fractions. And their antioxidant capacities in each fraction were determined by using the DPPH and FRAP assay, and tyrosinase inhibitor. Ethyl acetate fraction of blueberry exhibited antioxidant capacity.

Spirodela polyrrhiza L. Schleid. (Lemnaceae), also known as 'duckweed', is a traditional medicine in Korea. The whole plant is used to treat many diseases, including the common cold, edema, acute nephritis, and urticaria. The present study investigated antinociceptive properties of the EtOAc soluble fraction of S. polyrrhiza (ESP). The antinociceptive activities of ESP were studied using experimental models of pain, including thermal nociception methods, such as the tail immersion test and the hotplate test. Moreover, we studied chemical nociception induced by intraperitoneal acetic acid and subplantar formalin in mice. ESP exhibited dose-dependent antinociceptive activity in both thermal and chemical pain models. In a drug combination test using the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone, diminished analgesic activities of ESP were observed, indicating that the antinociceptive activity of ESP is mediated by opioid receptors.

This study is investigated the effect of Rubus coreanus MIQ. against nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin in rat. We examined the potency of the extract of R. coreanus fruits by the activity-guided fractionation. The EtOAc- and BuOH fraction, niga-ichigoside F$_1$and 23-hydroxytormentic acid showed significant protective effects as lipid peroxidation in renal tissue and was was not affect the activity of xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase by cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. The concentration of glutathione in renal tissue was decreased by cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, but was improved by pretreatment of R. coreanus compounds especially in butanol, ethylacetate fraction and 23-hydroxytormentic acid.

The root of Aralia continentalis Kitagawa(Araliaceae) have been used as an analgesic and fever remedy, and for treatment of rheumatism in Chinese medicine, whereas the young leaves are used for salad. An antioxidant activity of the young leaves of A continentalis was determined by measuring lipid peroxide produced when a mouse liver homogenate was exposed to the air at 37$^{\circ}C$, using 2-thiobarbituric acid(TBA) and by evaluation the radical scavenging activity on 1,l-diphenyl-2 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. Bioassay guided fractionation of MeOH extract isolated six flavonoid compounds as active components from EtOAc fraction. Adenosine and two saponins were isolated from the weak active BuOH fraction. The antioxidant effect by DPPH radical scavenging activity showed that quercetin was the most active among these compounds. Hyperoside and kaempferol were also active, while 6"-O-acetyl astragalin, astragalin, trifolin, adenosine, oleanolic acid 28-O-glucosyl ester and salsoloside C methyl ester were almost inactive. All the compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods.

Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) bark was collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethylacetate (EtOAc), and $H_2O$. The $H_2O$ fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column with various aqueous MeOH eluting solvents to isolate an ellagitannin. The isolate was elucidated as macabarterin, a polyoxygenated ellagitannin by NMR analysis, including HSQC, HMBC, Q-TOF MS, and with the comparison of authentic literature data. The compound was an ellagitannin which was isolated, for the first time, from the extracts of Katsura tree bark, and has never been reported before in domestic tree or plant sources.

황금찰수수 종자의 항염증 활성을 알아보기 위해, 국내에서 재배되고 있는 3가지 수수 품종(황금찰, 현찰, 찰)의 종자로부터 에탄올 추출물을 확보하여, 지질다당류(LPS)에 의해 자극된 마우스 대식세포주 RAW264.7를 이용하여 염증반응 관련 일산화질소(NO) 생성에 대한 억제 활성을 확인하였다. 세가지 품종 중에서 황금찰수수 종자의 억제활성이 가장 강하게 확인되었다. 황금찰수수 종자의 EtOH 추출물은 n-헥산, 메틸렌클로라이드(MC), 에틸아세테이트(EtOAc), 및 n-부탄올로 순차적으로 분획하였다. 이후 활성이 강하게 확인된 MC 분획을 이용하여, LPS-자극 RAW 264.7 세포에서 항염증 효능을 구체적으로 조사한 결과, LPS-자극에 의해 유도되는 염증반응관련 iNOS, COX-2 및 친염증성 사이토카인(IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α)의 발현을 현저히 감소시켰다. 또한 MC 분획은 LPS-자극에 의해 염증관련 현상으로 유도되는 p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPAK), c-Jun N-말단 키네이스(JNK) 및 세포외 신호조절 키네이스(ERK)의 활성화를 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. HPLC 분석으로 MC분획을 더 조사한 결과, 주요 구성 페놀화합물로서 gentisic acid와 naringenin을 확인하였다. Gentisic acid와 naringenin은 유사한 수준으로 LPS처리애 의해 RAW264.7 세포에서 유도되는 NO 생성에 대한 강력한 억제 활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 연구결과들은 황금찰수수 종자의 항염증 활성과 관련된 gentisic acid 및 naringenin의 작용을 잘 보여주며, 아울러 황금찰수수 종자가 곡물 기반 기능성 식품 개발에 적용될 수 있는 유익한 건강 효과를 가지고 있음을 시사한다.
