Eupafolin, a constituent of the aerial parts of Phyla nodiflora, has neuroprotective property. Because reducing the synaptic release of glutamate is crucial to achieving pharmacotherapeutic effects of neuroprotectants, we investigated the effect of eupafolin on glutamate release in rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes and explored the possible mechanism. We discovered that eupafolin depressed 4-aminopyridine (4-AP)-induced glutamate release, and this phenomenon was prevented in the absence of extracellular calcium. Eupafolin inhibition of glutamate release from synaptic vesicles was confirmed through measurement of the release of the fluorescent dye FM 1-43. Eupafolin decreased 4-AP-induced [Ca²⁺]_i elevation and had no effect on synaptosomal membrane potential. The inhibition of P/Q-type Ca²⁺ channels reduced the decrease in glutamate release that was caused by eupafolin, and docking data revealed that eupafolin interacted with P/Q-type Ca²⁺ channels. Additionally, the inhibition of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) prevented the effect of eupafolin on evoked glutamate release. Eupafolin also reduced the 4-AP-induced activation of CaMK II and the subsequent phosphorylation of synapsin I, which is the main presynaptic target of CaMKII. Therefore, eupafolin suppresses P/Q-type Ca²⁺ channels and thereby inhibits CaMKII/synapsin I pathways and the release of glutamate from rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes.

사자발쑥의 전초를 80% MeOH 용액으로 추출하고, 추출물을 EtOAc, n-BuOH 및 물로 분배, 추출하였다. 이 중 EtOAc 분획을 silica gel과 octadecylsilica gel(ODS) column chromatography로 정제하여 4종의 화합물을 분리하였다. 각 화합물의 화학구조는 NMR, MS 및 IR 등의 스펙트럼 데이터를 해석하여, eupatilin (1), jaceosidin (2), apigenin (3) 및 eupafolin (4)으로 동정하였다. 이들 중 eupatilin과 jaceosidin은 사자발쑥에서 분리, 보고 된 바 있으나 eupafolin과 apigenin은 처음 분리되었다.

우리 나라 전역에 자생하는 쑥(Artemisia vulgaris)의 전초의 수용성 에탄올추출물로 부터 21가지의 flavonoids를 분리하였다. 이들 화합물의 동정은 H-NMR, mass, UV-스펙트럼을 이용하여 동정하였으며, 동정된 flavonoids들은 tricin, jaceosidine, eupafolin, diosmetin, chrysoeriol, humoeridictyol, isorhamnetin, apigenin, eriodictyol, luteolin, luteolin 7-glucoside, kaempferol 3-glucoside, kaempferol 7-glucoside, kaempferol 3-rhamnoside, kaempferol 3-rutinoside, quercetin, quercetin 3-glucoside, quercetin 3-galactoside, quercetin, quercetin 7-glucoside, rutin 그리고 vitexin으로 동정 되었다. 이들 분리된 각 flavonoids들에 대하여 쥐의 간에서 추출한 마이크로좀에 대하여 지질과산화 효과를 살펴보았다. 이들 flavonoids화합물들의 항산화효과는 비타민 E와 비교하였을 때 높은 활성이 나타났다. 이미 강력한 항산화물질로 잘 알려진 quercetin, apigenin, eriodictyol등의 화합물의 $IC_{50}$ 값은 각각 0.9, 0.3, $0.3\;{\mu}g/mL$로 나타났으며, methoxylated flavonoids인 eupafolin, jaceosidine, diosmetin 등의 화합물도 $IC_{50}$ 값이 1.0, 1.4, $1.0\;{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 비타민 E에 비교할 때 높은 활성을 나타냈다.

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.
