Anxiety disorders are one of the serious problems which need proper therapy devoid of side effects of presently available medicines. The present study evaluates the anxiolytic and sedative activity of leaf galls of Piper nigrum Linn. in Swiss Albino mice. The pet. ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of leaf galls of Piper nigrum Linn were obtained by continuous soxhlet extraction. The prepared extracts were found to be safe up to 2000 mg/kg body weight of mice in the acute toxicity study. Each extract was assessed for anxiolytic activity in Swiss Albino mice by elevated plus Maze, open field test, rota rod test and phenobarbitone induced sleeping time test. In the Elevated Plus Maze test, the pet.ether extract and chloroform extract at a dose of 50 mg/kg b.w. orally, significantly (P < 0.01) increased the number of entries and time spent in open arm comparable with standard diazepam at the dose of 10 mg/kg. b.w. p.o. In the open field test, pet. ether extract (50 mg/kg b.w. p.o.) showed significant increase (P < 0.01) in ambulation and activity in the center. Chloroform extract (50 mg/kg b.w p.o.) was significant (P < 0.05) for both ambulation and center activity. Pet. ether extract (50 mg/kg b.w. p.o) also showed significant activity (P < 0.01) in rota rod test. All the results are comparable with standard diazepam at the dose of 1 mg /kg b.w, p.o. Moreover all the extracts showed significant (P < 0.01) increase in the phenobarbitone induced sleeping time among which pet.ether showed more prominent activity (36%) comparable with control. The results revealed that, the active pet.ether extract and chloroform extract of leaf galls of Piper nigrum Linn is worthwhile to develop the bioactive principle for anxiolytic activity.

Fractional solvent extraction by organic solvents such as hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol was carried out using 70% ethanol extract of apple flower leaves. Biological activities including antioxidant, whitening, antimicrobial and anti-wrinkle activities were investigated and bio-active materials of the extracts were identified using GC/MSD. Among the tested solvent fractions, ethylacetate fraction showed the highest total polyphenol content (1218.94 ${\mu}g/mL$), and flavonoid (140 ${\mu}g/mL$). The DPPH radical scavenging activities was over 80% at a dry matterbased concentration of 200 ${\mu}g/{\mu}L$ and SOD-like activity was over 90% at 50 ${\mu}g/mL$ concentration in ethylacetate fraction that was slightly lower than of ascorbic aicd. Tyrosinase inhibition activity related to skin-whitening was over 60% by ethylacetate fraction of 100 ${\mu}g/mL$. As an anti-aging effect, elastase inhibitory activity was about 45% in ethylacetate fraction. Also, it showed a significantly antimicrobial activity against P. acenes. From GC/MSD analysis, a characteristic peak of high content in ethylacetate fraction was identified as kaempferol, which has been reported as a bioactive compound.

Polysaccharides of marine algae exhibit different structural characteristics and interesting biological functions. In this study, crude polysaccharides (CP) of eleven Sri Lankan marine algae obtained through hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation were investigated for DPPH, alkyl, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities using electron spin resonance spectrometry and for intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging activity in the Chang liver cell line. Characterization of CPs was done by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and by analysis of the monosaccharide composition. Time-dependent density functional theory quantum-chemical calculations at the RB3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level for constructed dimeric units of the corresponding polysaccharides were used to resolve the FTIR spectra. CPs from Chnoospora minima showed the highest DPPH and alkyl radical scavenging activities and higher intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging effects for both AAPH and $H_2O_2$ induced ROS production in "Chang" cells. The major polysaccharide constituent in C. minima CP was identified as fucoidan and it displayed a higher sulfate content. The degree of sulfation of these polysaccharides suggests a positive correlation with the observed antioxidant properties.

The fractions of Capsosiphon fulvescens were studied to verify the anticancer and immunostimulating activity. The fractions from the ethanol extract of C. fulvescens were prepared by the systematic extraction procedure with the solvents such as hexane, ethyl ether, methanol, butanol and H$_2$O. The cytotoxic effects of C. fulvescens fractions against human leukemia cell line U937, mouse neuroblastoma cell line (NB41A3), human hepatoma cell line (HepG2)and rat glioma cell line (C6) were investigated. Ethyl ether fraction of C. fulvescens showed the highest cytotoxicity against all four cell lines tested. In addition, H$_2$O fraction also showed relatively high cytotoxicity. Dose dependent patterns were observed on all four cell lines. The immune-stimulating effects of C. fulvescens fractions on rat macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7) were also investigated. All five fractions of C. fulvescens extract stimulated NO production with concentration dependant manner. These results suggest that C. fulvescens may be a useful candidate for a natural antitumor and immune-stimulating agent.

For the purpose of the quality control of Poria cocos, three major compounds were isolated and identified as pachymic acid (1), $3{\beta}-hydroxylanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-21-oic$ acid (2), and dehydroeburicoic acid (3). The optimal extraction conditions for the quantification of pachymic acid its analogues were the 3 hours of reflux with 15g of P. cocos in 100ml 95% ethanol. HPLC conditions were as follows: Column; ZORBAX Eclipse XDB C18 $(4.6{\times}250\;mm,\;Agillent)$, mobile phase; 1% HOAc in 70% $MeOH{\rightarrow}1%$ HOAc in 100% MeOH for 25 min, then 1% HOAc in 100% MeOH for 15 min, detector, ELSD, flow rate; 1ml/min. The mean contents of 1,2, and 3 in Poria cocos cultivated at 18 different site were $0.65{\pm}0.19,\;0.88{\pm}0.72,\;and\;0.84{\pm}0.54\;mg/g$, respectively, and values might be the guide line for the quality control of P. cocos.

The innate soluble polysaccharides and phenolic compounds of marine macroalgae are serious contaminants which interfere with experimental procedures such as restriction enzyme digestion, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and other enzymatic reactions using extracted DNA samples. The viscous polysaccharides are co-precipitated with DNA samples by isopropanol or ethanol precipitation in conventional experiment. To overcome the problem, a method for the isolation of high molecular weight DNA from Porphyra tenera is developed with the application of diatomaceous earth column. The isolated DNAs by this method were about 50-100 kb in size and could be digested well with restriction enzymes. The nuclease activity seemed to be minimal, and high reproducibility in the arbitrary primed PCR for RAPD analyses was a distinctive feature. These results suggest that this method is very efficient in isolating nucleic acid from macroalgae including Porphyra.

소목을 여러가지 용매로 추출하여 추출물을 얻고, 75% 에탄올 추출물은 다시 용매 분획하여 Rancimat method로 항산화 효과를 비교하였으며 상업용 항산화제인 ascorbic acid, ${\delta}-tocopherol$, BHA, BHT 등과도 항산화력을 비교하였다. Ethyl acetate(EtOAc) 조추출물 600 ppm을 팜유와 돈지에 첨가시 AI (Antioxidant index; 각 항산화제를 첨가한 실험구의 유도기간을 무첨가구의 유도기간으로 나눈 값)는 각각 2.06, 7.40으로 비교적 높았으며 돈지에 대한 항산화 효과가 뚜렷하였다. 75% 에탄올 추출물을 순차 분획하여 얻은 EtOAc 분획물의 항산화 효과는 다른 분획물들 및 조추출물보다 높았고 이 분획물 600 ppm을 팜유와 돈지에 첨가했을 때 AI는 각각 2.07, 7.26으로 EtOAc 조추출물의 항산화력과 거의 같은 수준이었으나 추출 수율은 EtOAc 분획물이 2배이상 더 높았다. 소목 75% 에탄올 추출물의 EtOAc 분획물과 상업용 항산화제 일정량을 팜유와 돈지에 첨가한후 $60^{\circ}C$로 보관하면서 POV와 TBA를 측정하여 항산화 효과를 비교한 결과, 분획물 200 ppm 첨가시의 항산화력은 BHA 및 TO 200 ppm보다 높았고 BHT 200 ppm과 거의 같은 수준이었다. EtOAc 분획물 500 ppm의 항산화력은 BHT 200 ppm보다 높았다.

Cooking drips which were obtained as by-product after seafood processing in the food industries, still contain lots of proteins, carbohydrates, and other functional materials. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the biological activities of seafood cooking drips. When the cooking drips of Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleini and Thunnus thynnus were irradiated, the antioxidant activities, whitening effect, and angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibition activity of the ethanol extract from seafood cooking drips were all increased by gamma irradiation. This was because of the increased extraction efficiency of available compounds by irradiation. These results suggested that the seafood cooking drips, wasted as by-products, can be used as functional compounds with gamma irradiation treatment.
