본 연구에서는 옻의 식품사용을 위해서 urushiol의 제거된 추출물을 제조하고 이의 특징을 살펴보았다. 생옻은 물추출에서 3.4mg%의 urushiol이 용출되는 반면 발효옻에서는 용출되지 않았다. 발효옻의 물추출조건은 고형분, 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드 함량이 고려되었으며, $100^{\circ}C$에서 6-8시간 추출하는 것이 적정하였다. 발효옻 추출물의 pilot scale 생산에서 추출수율은 5.7%이었다. 추출물은 수분 4.34%, 조지방 1.69%, 조단백질 10.21%, 조회분 15.80%의 일반성분으로 이루어져 있었으며, 3종류의 phenolic acid와 4종류의 flavonoid가 검출되었다. Phenolic acid중에서는 gallic acid(1,090.5 mg%)가 가장 많이 함유되어 있었으며, flavonoid중에서는 fisetin(135.7 mg%)의 함량이 가장 높았다. 발효옻 추출물에 존재하는 유리당은 mannitol 3.48%, glycerol 0.19%, glucose 0.19%이었으며, 3,034 ppm의 유리아미노산을 함유하고 있었다. Alanine(244 ppm), serine(231 ppm), leucine(218 ppm)이 주요 유리 아미노산 이었으며, 필수아미노산의 함량은 31.9%이었고 ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid 함량은 122 ppm이었다.

백발화는 자외선, melanin 세포 자극 호르몬(α-MSH), 줄기 세포 인자 성장인자(SCF), Wnt 및 endothelin-1 (ET-1)에 의하여 활성화되는 melanogenesis를 조절하는 신호 전달 경로가 제대로 작동하지 못하여 나타난 결과이다. 백발화를 예방하기 위하여, tyrosinase, tyrosine hydroxylase, tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, TRP-2 및 microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF)에 의하여 조절되는 melanogenesis를 자극하는 효과적인 합성 및 천연 화합물이 있다. 이러한 화합물은 백발화 예방을 위한 잠재성을 지니고 있다. 이 기사는 melanogenesis와 백발화와 관련된 신호 전달 경로에서 최근의 진전뿐 만 아니라 백발화의 문제를 해결하기 위한 핵심적인 전략에 대해 기술한다. 특히, 이글에서는 catalase 및 methionine sulfoxide reductase를 조절하는 항산화제, resveratrol, fisetin, quercetin 및 ginsenoside와 같은 sirtuin (SIRT) 1 activator와 같은 melanin 생성을 촉진하는 잠재적으로 효과적인 치료제에 대하여 설명한다. 또한 estrogen, androgen, progesterone 및 dihydrotestosterone를 포함하는 telomerase 발현 및 activator 뿐만 아니라, corticosteroids, calcineurin restrainer 및 palmitic acid methyl ester와 같은 백반증 억제제에 대하여 논의한다. 더불어 latanoprost, erlotinib, imatinib, tamoxifen, 및 levodopa와 같은 백발화를 억제할 수 있는 화합물에 대해서도 탐구한다. 결론적으로 이 기사는 모발 백발화와 관련된 melanin 생성을 촉진시키는 화합물에 대한 최근의 연구동향을 고찰한다.

Previously, a flavonoid fraction, which consisted mainly of protocatechuic acid, fustin, fisetin, sulfuretin, and butein, here named RCMF $({\underline{R}}VS\;{\underline{c}}hloroform-{\underline{m}}ethanol\;{\underline{f}}raction)$, was prepared from a crude acetone extract of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) which is traditionally used as a food additive and as an herbal medicine. In this study, we evaluated the effects of RCMF on the antioxidant defense system using embryonic normal hepatic cell line (BNL CL.2) and its SV40-mediated transformed cell line (BNL SV A.8). This study demonstrates that RCMF selectively stimulated the antioxidant defense system of normal cells, as BNL CL.2 cells proved to be more sensitive to RCMF-mediated increases of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, and glutathione reductase than BNL SV A.8 cells. In particular, RCMF caused a significant increase in the malonaldehyde content of BNL SV A.8 cells, which is believed to be closely associated with cytotoxicity of RCMF and RCMF-mediated growth inhibition. Collectively, our findings suggest that the flavonoid fraction, RCMF, selectively stimulates the antioxidant defense system in normal rather than hepatic tumor cells.

The heartwood of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (Anacardiaceae) is widely used for a medicinal plant to treat diabetes mellitus and lingering intoxication in the folkloric society of Korea, while the stem bark has been traditionally used to treat menstrual disorder and helminthiasis. We previously reported that a flavonoid, fustin, isolated from the heartwood of R. verniciflua is effective in Alzheimer‘s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. To explore the possibility to produce more flavonoid-rich fraction from this plant, the MeOH extracts from the plant parts of stem bark, outer heartwood, and inner heartwood were quantitatively analyzed by HPLC. Phenolic or flavonoid compounds (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, sulfuretin, fustin, fisetin, luteolin and astragalin) were detectable in the HPLC chromatogram. The orange-colored inner heartwood was found to contain the highest levels of fustin (16.96 mg/g) and sulfuretin (2.22 mg/g). Moreover, the inner heartwood accumulated fustin and sulfuretin at least 4-fold higher level as compared to the stem bark and outer heartwood. The levels of total phenolic compounds positively correlated with the extents of antioxidant properties. Therefore, the inner heartwood of R. verniciflua could be used to increase fustin concentration of the extract which is capable of treating Alzheimer‘s disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

Rhus Verniciflua Stokes has been used for long history to treat blood stasis and cancer in Oriental Medicine. But urushiol, a constituent of Rhus Verniciflua Stokes has T-cell mediated allergic reaction, so it has made clinical limitation. Nexia is allergen removed extract of Rhus Verniciflua Stokes and its extraction process as well as quality control is needed to be standardized. The optimized extraction condition is as follow; temperature is $90{\sim}95^{\circ}C$, volume of slovent 10 times, extraction time >6 hours, pressure $, slovnet water or EtOH(60%), yield 8.1${\sim}$9.8(w/w). HPLC pattern and isolation study showed Nexia contain fisetin(>13.0%), fustin(>7.0%) and no urushiol.

To search for less toxic antiherpetic agents, the inhibitory effects of twelve kinds of flavonoids including chrysin, quercetin, quercitrin, rutin, fisetin, gossypin, kaempferol, morin, naringenin, naringin, hesperetin and hesperidin on the plaque formation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) in Vero cells were examined by plaque reduction assay in vitro. Some flavonoids tested in this study showed potent antiherpetic activity, reducing intracellular replication of herpes simplex viruses when Vero cell monolayers were infected and subsequently cultured in medium containing flavonoids. Naringenin showed the most potent antiviral activity against HSV-1 with selectivity index (SI) of 19.1 and hesperetin showed the most potent antiviral activity against HSV-2 with SI of 9.8. These results suggest that some flavonoids may be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment and prevention of herpes simplex virus infections.

From the heartwood of Rhus verniciflua, four known flavonoids (1-4) were isolated along with an unknown one (5). Compounds 1-4 were identified to be garbanzol, sulfuretin, fisetin and fustin by NMR data. NMR data of 1-4 were fully assigned by the aids of 2D-NMR spectra. Among these compounds, only sulfuretin had significant cytotoxic and antioxidant ability at high concentrations. In addition, it seems likely that the 5-hydroxy-lacking flavonoids could not influence on the activity of laccase with cofactor of cupric cation, which catalyzes oxidative coupling reaction, in this plant.

The antimutagenic effects of 27 kinds of plant flavonoids on the mutagenicity of aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$ and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MANG) in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 were investigated. In the mixed applications of $AFB_1\;(1\;\mu{g/plate)}$ with the flavonoids $(300\;\mu{g/plate)}$ in the presence of a mammalian metabolic activation system (S9 mix), chrysin, apigenin, luteolin and its glucoside, kaempferol, fisetin, morin, naringenin, hesperetin, persicogenin, (+)-catechin and (-)epicatechin showed the antimutagenic effect against $AFB_1$ with more than 70% inhibition rate. A little or no antimutagenicities except flavone against MNNG $(0.5\;\mu{g/plate)}$ were observed. For the antimutagencity of the flavonoids on $AFB_1$, the flavonoid structure that contains the free 5, 7-hydroxyl gorup seemed to be essential. However, saturation of the 2, 3-double bond of elimination of the 4-keto group did not affect the activity.

Flavonoids, a group of low molecular weight phenylbenzopyrones, have various pharmacological properties including antioxidant, anticancer, bactericidal, and anti-inflammatory. We carried out anti-herpetic assays on 18 flavonoids in five classes and a virus-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibitory assay, plaque reduction assay, and yield reduction assay were performed. When flavonoids were applied at various concentrations to Vero cells infected by HSV-1 and 2, most of the f1avonoids showed inhibitory effects on virus-induced CPE. Among the flavonoids, EC, ECG (flavanols), genistein (isoflavone), naringenin (flavanone), and quercetin (flavonol) showed a high level of CPE inhibitory activity. The antiviral activity of flavonoids were also examined by a plaque reduction assay. EC, ECG, galangin, and kaempferol showed a strong antiviral activity, and catechin, EGC, EGCG, naringenin, chrysin, baicalin, fisetin, myricetin, quercetin, and genistein showed moderate inhibitory effects against HSV-1. In these experiments, flavanols and flavonols appeared to be more active than flavones. Furthermore, treatment of Vero cells with ECG and galangin (which previously showed strong antiviral activities) before virus adsorption led to a slight enhancement of inhibition as determined by a yield reduction assay, indicating that an intracellular effect may also be involved.
