  • Pigmented rice is mainly black, red, and dark purple, and contains a variety of flavones, tannin, polyphenols, sterols, tocopherols, ${\gamma}$-oryzanols, amino acids, and essential oils. The present study evaluated the cytotoxic effects of purple rice extracts (PREs) combined with chemotherapeutic drugs on human cancer cells and mechanisms of cell death. Methanolic (MeOH) and dichloromethane (DCM) extracts of three cultivars of purple rice in Thailand: Doisaket (DSK), Nan and Payao (PYO), were tested and compared with white rice (KK6). Cytotoxicity was determined by 3-(4, 5-dimethyl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2, prostate cancer LNCaP and murine normal fibroblast NIH3T3 cells. MeOH-PYO-PRE was the most cytotoxic and inhibited HepG2 cell growth more than that of LNCaP cells but was not toxic to NIH3T3 cells. When PREs were combined with paclitaxel or vinblastine, they showed additive cytotoxic effects on HepG2 and LNCaP cells, except for MeOH-PYO-PRE which showed synergistic effects on HepG2 cells when combined with vinblastine. MeOH-PYO-PRE plus vinblastine induced HepG2 cell apoptosis with loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) but no ROS production. MeOH-PYO-PRE-treated HepG2 cells underwent apoptosis via caspase-9 and-3 activation. The level of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol was highest in DCM-PYO-PRE (44.17 mg/g) whereas anthocyanin content was high in MeOH-PYO-PRE (5.80 mg/g). In conclusion, methanolic Payao purple rice extract was mostly toxic to human HepG2 cells and synergistically enhanced the cytotoxicity of vinblastine. Human HepG2 cell apoptosis induced by MeOH-PYO-PRE and vinblastine was mediated through a mitochondrial pathway.

  • The dyeing properties of cotton fabrics with bamboo colorants were studied by investigating the analysis of bamboo colorants, the effect of dyeing conditions (dye concentrations, dyeing temperatures and times on dye uptakes), effect of mordants, and color change. The various colorfastness of dyed fabrics were evaluated for practical use; in addition, the antimicrobial ability, ultraviolet-cut ability, and deodorant ability were also estimated. In the UV-Visible spectrum, the wavelength of the maximum absorption for bamboo stems and leaves extracts was found to be 280nm and 295nm, respectively; in addition, bamboo colorants produced a yellow color. From the FT-IR and GC-MS results, it was assumed that the chromophoric substance from bamboo extracts was composed of flavones substances with tricin. An increased dyeing concentration resulted in a larger dye uptake and a Freundlich absorption isotherm was obtained. A larger dye uptake occurred as the dyeing time and temperature increased. The post-mordanting was more effective than pre-mordanting. Mordants, Fe and N.Fe, were effective for an increased dye uptake. The color of fabrics mordanted with Cu and N.Cu changed to GY. Regardless of mordanting, the colorfastness on the washing of dyed fabrics showed a low rating compared to other fastness. Mordanting adversely affected the lightfastness of dyed fabric. The dyed fabric showed very good antimicrobial abilities of 99.9%. In addition, the ultraviolet-cut ability and deodorant ability improved in cotton fabric dyed with bamboo extracts.

  • Cirsium japonicum belongs to the Asteraceae or Compositae family and is a medicinal plant in Asia that has a variety of effects, including tumour inhibition, improved immunity with flavones, and antidiabetic and hepatoprotective effects. Silymarin is synthesized by 4-coumaroyl-CoA via both the flavonoid and phenylpropanoid pathways to produce the immediate precursors taxifolin and coniferyl alcohol. Then, the oxidative radicalization of taxifolin and coniferyl alcohol produces silymarin. We identified the expression of genes related to the synthesis of silymarin in C. japonicum in three different tissues, namely, flowers, leaves, and roots, through RNA sequencing. We obtained 51,133 unigenes from transcriptome sequencing by de novo assembly using Trinity v2.1.1, TransDecoder v2.0.1, and CD-HIT v4.6 software. The differentially expressed gene analysis revealed that the expression of genes related to the flavonoid pathway was higher in the flowers, whereas the phenylpropanoid pathway was more highly expressed in the roots. In this study, we established a global transcriptome dataset for C. japonicum. The data shall not only be useful to focus more deeply on the genes related to product medicinal metabolite including flavolignan but also to study the functional genomics for genetic engineering of C. japonicum.

  • Flavonoid 골격 중 flavanone과 flavone 골격 화합들의 유용성과 가능성에 대해 여러 연구들이 되어있다. 본 연구의 목적은 폐섬유화에 대한 치료물질로서 효능이 있는 flavanone 및 flavone 골격 유래 화합물들을 탐색하는 것에 있다. Flavanone 및 flavone 골격 유래 화합물들이 폐섬유화 억제 효능이 있는지 탐색하기 위해 폐섬유화 유도 물질인 bleomycin과 TGF-β1으로 자극한 A549 세포에서 flavanone 및 flavone 골격 유래 화합물들에 의해 폐섬유증 마커들을 약화시키는지 여부를 확인하였다. 실험 결과를 종합해보면 7,2',3'-trimethoxyflavanone(ICC no. 3), 7,3'-dimethoxyflavone (ICC no. 5), 2'-hydroxyflavanone (ICC no. 6)은 폐섬유화 유도관련 단백질 마커들의 발현을 감소시킨다는 것을 발견하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 결과들을 통해 flavanone과 flavone 골격 화합물 중 3가지가 폐섬유증의 예방과 치료에 대한 가능성이 있음을 제시한다.

  • 염증성 cytokines의 분비 또는 혈관손상으로 인한 백혈구의 adhesion과 transmigration을 통하여 죽상경화과정이 시발되는데, 본 연구에서는 이러한 죽상경화의 초기과정에서 플라보노이드가 억제작용을 발휘하는 지를 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 화학적인 구조가 서로 다른 플라보노이드를 사용하여 화학적인 구조와 항동맥경화작용과의 상관성을 착인하였다. TNF-$\alpha$는 혈관내피세포를 활성화시켜 THP-1 단핵구의 adhesion을 유의적으로 증가시켰다. 여러형태의 플라보노이드를 전처리하고 TNF-$\alpha$를 가하여 혈관내피세포를 활성화 시 켰을 때, flavonols인 quercetin과 flavones의 luteolin과 apigenin은 THP-1 단핵구의 adhesion억제효과를 보여주었다. 그러나, catechins과 flavanones의 플라보노이드는 이러한 억제효과를 전혀 보여주지 못하였다. 이러한 adhesion 억제작용을 가지는 플라보노이드는 CAMs 단백질의 발현도 차단시킨다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Quercetin, luteolin과 apigenin은 TNF-$\alpha$에 의하여 증가된 VCAM-1, ICAM-1 및 E-selectin의 단백질 발현을 일률적으로 감소 또는 차단시켰다. 그 대신, 단핵구의 adhesion을 차단시키지 못한 (-)epigallo-catechin gallate와 (+)catechin은 TNF-$\alpha$에 의한 이러한 CAMs의 발현을 전혀 억제시키지 못하였다. 또한 quercetin, luteolin과 apigenin의 CAMs단백질 발현 억제작용은 유전자 전사단계에서 mRNA의 down-regulation으로 인하여 나타난다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 quercetin, luteolin, apigenin과 같은 플라보노이드는 TNF-$\alpha$와 같은 염증성 cytokines에 의한 단핵구의 adhesion을 혈관내피세포의 CAMs 단백질 발현을 억제하므로서 차단시킨다는 것이 확인되었다. 여기서 모든 플라보노이드가 이러한 활성을 다 지니고 있지 않아서 화학적인 구조와 초기 항동맥경화작용에는 서로 연관성이 있다는 것이 제시되었다. 또한, 선별된 플라보노이드의 초기 항동맥경화작용은 활성산소를 소거하는 플라보노이드의 항산화능과는 무관한 것 같다고 할 수 있다.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 성인의 식품안정성에 따른 플라보노이드 섭취 실태를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 제 4, 5기 (2007~2012) 국민건강영양조사 자료와 한국인 상용식품의 플라보노이드 데이터베이스를 이용하여 식품안정성에 따른 총 플라보노이드 및 개별 플라보노이드 섭취량, 식품군 섭취량, 주요 급원 식품군 및 10개 식품을 분석하였다. 국민건강영양조사 식생활형편 문항을 이용하여 대상자를 식품안정성 확보군과 미확보군으로 구분하여 분석한 결과, 남녀 모두에서 연령, 조사기수, 가구 소득수준, 교육수준, 월간음주 여부, 식이보충제 복용 여부, 외식 빈도에 따른 두 군의 분포에 유의한 차이가 발견되었다. 남녀 모두 총 플라보노이드, 플라보놀, 플라본, 플라바논, 플라바놀, 이소플라본, 프로안토시아니딘 섭취량이 식품안정성 미확보군에서 유의하게 낮았고, 총 섭취 열량을 보정한 후에는 총 플라보노이드, 플라본, 플라바논, 플라바놀 섭취량만 유의하게 낮았다. 총 열량 보정 후, 안토시아니딘과 프로안토시아니딘은 여성에서만 식품안정성 미확보군의 섭취량이 유의하게 낮았다. 총 플라보노이드 섭취량은 식품안정성 수준이 불량할수록 낮아지는 경향도 발견되었다. 식품안정성 미확보군은 식품안정성 확보군보다 채소류, 과일류 등의 섭취량이 유의하게 낮았고, 과일류, 채소류로부터 섭취한 플라보노이드의 양이 유의하게 적었다. 식품안정성 확보군의 주요 급원 식품은 사과 (20.7%), 귤 (12.0%), 두부 (11.5%) 등이며, 식품안정성 미확보군의 주요 급원식품은 사과 (14.9%), 두부 (13.3%), 귤 (12.6%) 등으로, 미확보군의 플라보노이드 섭취에 기여하는 식품 중 두류 및 그 제품의 비율이 비교적 높고, 과일류의 비율이 비교적 낮았다. 이상의 결과에서 식품안정성과 플라보노이드 섭취량에 연관성이 있음을 알 수 있었고, 이는 식품안정성에 따른 식품 섭취의 차이에서 기인하는 것으로 파악되었다. 추후 더욱 정확한 식품안정성 조사 자료와 더욱 포괄적인 파이토케미컬 섭취 자료를 이용한 연구가 수행되면 식품안정성에 따른 식사의 질 차이에 대한 이해가 높아질 것으로 기대된다.

  • Phytochemicals study from the leaves of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], one of Korean edible plant materials were investigated through various chromatographic procedures. The methanolic leaves extracts of soybean yielded 16 phytochemicals, including 5 isoflavones 1-5, 3 flavones 6-8, 1 flavonol 9, 2 pterocarpans 10 and 11, 2 phenolic compounds 12 and 13, 2 phytosterols 14 and 15, and 1 sugar alcohol 16. The structures were fully characterized by analysis of physical and spectral data and were defined clearly as 4,5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone (1), 4,5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (2), 4,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone (3), 4,7-dihydroxyisoflavone (4), 4,7-dihydroxyisoflavone-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (5), 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone (6), 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone (7), 3',4',5-trihydroxyflavone-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (8), 3,4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavonol (9), coumestrol (10), glyceofuran (11), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (12), methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (13), soyasapogenol B (14), stigmasterol (15), and D-mannitol (16), respectively. Among them, phytochemicals 7-16 were reported for the first time on the isolation and confirmation from the leaves of this species. These results suggest that the leaves extracts of soybean may possess possible health related benefits to human due to the isolated phytochemicals 1-16 which have been well known potential effects on various chronic diseases.

  • Biological activity of phenolic compounds in seeds and leaves of safflower (Carthamu tinctorius L.) were evaluated using several in vitro and in vivo assays. Six phenolic constituents were isolated from the seeds and identified as N-feruloylserotonia, N- (p-coumaroyl)serotonin, matairesinol, 8′-hydroxyarctigenin, acacetin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucoside (tilianine) and acacetin. Six phenolic compounds exhibited considerable antioxidative activity, and especially two serotonins showed potent DPPH radical scavenging activity and antiperoxidative activity against rat liver microsomal lipid peroxidation induced by the hydroxyl radical generated via a Fenton-type reaction. Additionally, six phenolic compounds possessed comparable cytotoxicity against three cancer cells, Hela cell, MCF-7 and HepG2 cell, and particularly acacetin and its glycosides had the most potent cytotoxicity. Moreover, we found that feeding safflower seeds attenuated bone loss, and lowered levels of plasma and liver lipids in ovariectomized rats. Serotonins, lignans and flavones stimulated proliferation of the osteoblast-like cells in a dose-dependent manner (10$^{-15}$ ~10$^{-6}$ M), as potently as E$_2$ (17$\beta$-estradiol). Particularly, serotonins were mainly responsible for bone-protecting and lipid lowering effects in ovariectomized rats. Meanwhile, eight flavonoids, including a novel quercetin-7-O-(6"-O-acetyl)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and seven kown flavonoids, luteolin quercetin, luteolin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-(6"-O-acetyl)-$\beta$-D-gluco-pyranoside, quercetin 7-O- -glucopyranoside, acacetin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucuronide and apigenin-6-C-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-8-C-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside were first isolated and identified from safflower leaf. Among these flavonoids, luteolin-acetyl-glucoside and $\beta$quercetin- acetyl-glucoside showed potent antioxidative activities against 2-deoxyribose degradation and lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. Luteolin, quercetin and their corresponding glycosides also exhibited strong antioxidative activity, while acacetin glucuronide and apigenin-6, 8-di-C-glucoside were relatively less active. Finally, changes in phenolic compositions were also determined by HPLC in the safflower seed and leaf during growth stages and roasting process to produce standardized supplement powerds. These results suggest that phenolic compounds in the roasted safflower seed and leaf may be useful as potential sources of therapeutic agents against several pathological disorders such as carcinogenesis, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

  • Exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) light induces photoaging of skin, leading to wrinkles and sunburn. The perennial herb Humulus japonicus, widely distributed in Asia, is known to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects. However, the physiological activities of isolated compounds from H. japonicus have rarely been investigated. This study focused on the isolation of active compounds from H. japonicus and the evaluation of their effects on photoaging in UVB-irradiated human fibroblast (Hs68) cells. When the extract and four fractions of H. japonicus were treated respectively in UVB-irradiated Hs68 cells to investigate anti-photoaging effects, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction showed the strongest inhibitory effect on MMP1 secretion. From EtOAc fraction, we isolated luteolin-8-C-glucoside (1), apigenin-8-C-glucoside (2), and luteolin-7-O-glucoside (3). These compounds suppressed UVB-induced MMP-1 production by inhibiting the phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and activator protein-1 (AP-1). When the antioxidant activity of the compounds were estimated by conducting western blot, calculating the bond dissociation energies of the O-H bond (BDE) at different grade, and measuring radical scavenging activity, we found luteolin-8-C-glucoside (1) showed the strongest activity on the suppression of UVB-induced photoaging. These results demonstrate the inhibitory effect of three flavone glycosides derived from H. japonicus on MMP-1 production, MAPK and AP-1 signaling, and oxidative stress; this could prove useful in suppressing UVB induced photoaging.

  • 본 연구에서는 우리나라 12~18세 청소년의 플라보노이드 섭취 실태와 그 역학적 특성을 파악하기 위해 제 4 5기 국민건강영양조사 (2007~2012) 자료의 24시간 회상법 자료와 상용식품 중 플라보노이드 함량 데이터베이스를 연계하여 1일 총 플라보노이드 및 개별 플라보노이드 (플라보놀, 플라본, 플라바논, 플라반-3-올, 안토시아니딘, 이소플라본) 섭취량을 추정하였다. 그 결과, 한국 12~18세 청소년의 1일 평균 총 플라보노이드 섭취량은 남자 청소년이 195.6 mg/d, 여자 청소년이 189.4 mg/d 였으며, 개별 플라보노이드 중에는 플라보놀, 이소플라본 순으로 섭취량이 많았다. 플라보노이드 섭취량에 따라 영양소 및 식품군의 섭취량에 뚜렷한 차이가 있었는데, 플라보노이드 섭취량이 많은 군에서 지방 섭취량과 지방 기여 에너지 섭취량이 유의하게 낮았으며, 식이섬유와 비타민 C 섭취량은 유의하게 증가하였다. 식품군 별로 살펴보았을 때, 플라보노이드 섭취량이 많은 군일수록 곡류와 육류, 우유 및 유제품 군의 섭취량이 적었고, 두류와 과일류의 섭취가 선형적으로 증가하였다. 플라보노이드 섭취량에 따른 사회인구학적 요인, 건강 관련 지표, 식생활 요인의 분포를 살펴보았을 때, 플라보노이드 섭취량이 많은 그룹일수록 여성의 비율이 더 많았으며, 허리둘레와 수축기 혈압의 평균값이 유의하게 적었다. 여러 역학연구를 통해 플라보노이드가 심혈관계 질환, 당뇨병 등 만성질환의 예방에 긍정적인 영향을 미침이 증명되었고, 청소년기의 식생활은 성인기 이후 만성질환의 발생과 연관이 있으므로, 성인기의 건강을 위해서 청소년기부터 플라보노이드가 풍부한 식생활을 하는 것이 중요할 것으로 사료된다. 청소년의 플라보노이드 섭취 실태를 확인한 본 연구에서 더 나아가 플라보노이드 섭취량과 대사지표 및 질병의 유병률 등과의 연관성에 대한 후속 연구가 필요할 것이다.
