This study was investigated the anti-oxidant property and neuro-protective effect of Cirsium japonicum var. maackii (CJM) against oxidative stress in hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced C6 glial cells. We measured the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical (${\cdot}OH$), and superoxide ($O_2{^-}$) radical scavenging activities of an ethanol extract and four fractions [n-Butanol, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), $CHCl_3$, and n-Hexane] from CJM. The results of this study show that the extract and all fractions from CJM had a dose-dependent DPPH radical scavenging activity. In particular, the EtOAc fraction exhibited the strongest scavenging effect with 88.23% at a concentration of $500{\mu}g/mL$. In addition, the EtOAc fraction from CJM also effectively scavenged ${\cdot}OH$ radicals and $O_2{^-}$ radicals, compared to other extract and fractions. In C6 glial cells, $H_2O_2$ markedly decreased the cell viability as well as increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, the EtOAc fraction of CJM attenuated the cellular damage from the oxidative stress by elevating the cell viability and inhibiting the LDH release and ROS over-production compared with the $H_2O_2$-treated control group. Our findings indicate that the EtOAc fraction from CJM has antioxidant effect and neuro-protective effect against oxidative stress, suggesting that it can be used as a natural antioxidant and therapeutic agent for the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders.

Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydroxyl radicals ($^-OH$) play an important role in the pathogenesis of many human degenerative diseases, much attention has focused on the development of safe and effective antioxidants. Preliminary experiments have revealed that the methanol (MeOH) extract of the stem of Prunus davidiana exerts inhibitory/scavenging activities on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, total ROS and peroxynitrites ($ONOO^-$). In the present study, the antioxidant activities of this MeOH extract and the organic solvent-soluble fractions, dichloromethane (CH$_2$Cl$_2$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and n-butanol (n-BuOH), and the water layer of P. davidiana stem were evaluated for the potential to inhibit $^-OH$ and total ROS generation in kidney homogenates using 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCHF-DA), and for the potential to scavenge authentic $ONOO^-$. We also evaluated the inhibitory activity of seven flavonoids isolated from P. davidiana stem, kaempferol, kaempferol 7-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucoside, (+)-catechin, dihydrokaempferol, hesperetin 5-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucoside, naringenin and its 7-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucoside, on the total ROS, $^-OH$ and $ONOO^-$ systems. For the further elucidation of the structure-inhibitory activity relationship of flavonoids on total ROS and 'OH generation, we measured the antioxidant activity of sixteen flavonoids available, including three active flavonoids isolated from P. davidiana, on the total ROS and 'OH systems. We found that the inhibitory activity on total ROS generation increases in strength with more numerous hydroxyl groups on their structures. Also, the presence of an ortho-hydroxyl group, whether on the Aring or S-ring, and a 3-hydroxyl group on the C-ring increased the inhibitory activity on both total ROS and $^-OH$ generation.

This study quantitatively investigated the emissions of indoor air pollutants associated with the utilization of air fresheners indoors, and evaluated individual exposure to five specified indoor air pollutants, which were chosen on the basis of selection criteria. An electrically-polished stainless steel chamber (50L) was employed to achieve this purpose. Test air fresheners were selected through three steps: first, on the basis of market sales; second, on the basis on a preliminary head-space study; and lastly, on the basis of emissions of toxic compounds (benzene, ethyl benzene, limonene, toluene, and xylene). The empirical mathematical model fitted well with the time-series concentrations in the environmental chamber (in most cases, determination coefficient, $R^2{\gtrsim}$0.9), thereby suggesting that the empirical model was suitable for testing emissions. The concentration equilibrium appeared 180 min after the introduction of sample air fresheners into the chamber. Both the chamber concentrations of emission rates or factors varied greatly according to air freshener type. It is noteworthy that although benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, and xylene were emitted from all test air fresheners, their exposure levels were not significant enough to result in any significant health risk. However, certain type of air fresheners were observed to emit significant amount of limonene, which is potentially reactive with ozone to generate secondary pollutants with oxidants such as ozone, hydroxyl radicals, and nitrogen oxides. The exposure levels to limonene associated with the utilization of three air fresheners were estimated to be 13 to 175 times higher than that of other air fresheners. This information can help consumers to select low-pollutant-emitting air fresheners.

본 연구에서는 금불초(Inula britannica) 추출물의 항산화 효과와 ${H_2}{O_2}$로부터 유도된 SH-SY5Y 신경모세포종의 세포독성에 대한 보호능을 측정하였다. 금불초 지상부위의 70% 메탄올 추출물에 대하여 용매별로 분획을 실시하였고 핵산(Fr.H), 에틸아세테이트(Fr.EA) 및 물(Fr.W) 분획에 대하여 활성을 조사하였다. 분획 중 Fr.W의 폴리페놀/플라보노이드 함량이 가장 높았으며 Fr.W의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 $318.1{\pm}20.6{\mu}g$/mg solid로, Fr.EA 및 Fr.H와 비교하여 각각 약 2.5배, 23.1배 수준이었다. DPPH radical, ABTS radical 및 nitric oxide 소거능 등의 항산화 활성에서도 Fr.W가 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고 Fr.H는 거의 활성을 나타내지 않았다. Fr.W는 ${H_2}{O_2}$에 의해 유도된 세포사멸에 대하여 62.5 ${\mu}g$/mL 농도에서 현저하게 세포독성을 감소시켰으며 250 ${\mu}g$/mL에서는 77.0%의 세포사멸 억제능을 보였다. Fr.EA는 보호 효과를 나타 내지 않았으며 Fr.H는 오히려 ${H_2}{O_2}$로 인한 세포 독성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 세포 내 ROS에 대한 영향으로 Fr.W 250 ${\mu}g$/mL 처리시 39.2% 세포내 ROS를 감소시켰으며 Fr.EA는 25 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 26.8%의 세포내 ROS를 소거하였다. 이러한 금불초 Fr.W의 항산화 활성은 ROS에 의해 야기되는 뇌세포 독성에 대한 보호 작용에 공헌할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Bioassay-directed chromatographic fractionation of an ethyl acetate extract from leaves of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) afforded six quinic acid derivatives: 3,5-epi-dicaffeoylquinic acid (1), 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (2), methyl 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinate (3), methyl 3,4-dicaffeoylquinate (4), methyl 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (5),4,5-dicaffeoylquinate (6), and two phenolic compounds: caffeic acid (7) and caffeic acid methyl ester (8) together with three flavonoids: quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (9), quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, isoquercitrin (10) and kaempferol 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (11). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by the aid of spectroscopic methods. These compounds were assessed for antioxidant activities using three different cell-free bioassay systems. All isolates except 11 showed potent DPPH and superoxide anion radicals scavenging, and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities. 3,5-epi-DCQA (1) and methyl quinates (3-5) along with flavonoide 9 were isolated for the first time from this plant.

The antioxidative compounds and antioxidant contents of ginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizomes were determined. Substances reextracted using ethyl acetate from crude methanol extract of fresh ginger rhizome were separated through thin layer chromatography. Ten phenolic antioxidative bands were visualized through color reactions using ferric chloride-potassium ferricyanide and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylbydrazyl (DPPH). The antioxidative compounds were purified through preparative TLC and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), among which, five antioxidants were identified as 4-, 6-, 8-. and 10-gingerols and 6-shogaol on the basis of their molecular weights determined through LC-MS. As shown in experiments using DPPH free radicals, 6-Gingerol and PT4-HP8 (unknown) were revealed to be more efficient than BHT (butylated hydroxy toluene). Contents of gingerols were determined through reverse phase HPLC. Total gingerol contents (sum of 6-,8-, and 10-gingerols) in rhizomes of different ginger varieties varied significantly. The HG55 (collected at Wanju district in Korea) and the HG52 (imported from Brazil) showed the highest gingerol contents.

The antioxidant activities of a methanolic extract of Eisenia bicyclis and its organic solvent fractions, including dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water ($H_2O$) fractions, were investigated. Scavenging activities against DPPH, hydroxyl, superoxide anion, and peroxynitrite radicals were evaluated using electron spin resonance spectrometry; intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated by a 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate assay using RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. The antioxidant activities of the individual fractions were: EtOAc>n-BuOH>$CH_2Cl_2$ >$H_2O$. The EtOAc fraction exhibited strong radical scavenging activity and a significantly reduced ROS level in RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, the phenolic contents of the extract and fractions followed the same order as their radical scavenging activities. Our results indicate that E. bicyclis is a valuable natural source of antioxidants that may be applicable to the functional food industry.
