A systematic isolation and characterization study for Cassia auriculata (CA) seeds resulted in identifying antidiabetic compounds 1,3,8-trihydroxyanthraquinone and quercetin, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and ellagic acid. The ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography based triple quadrupole mass spectrometry methodology was developed and validated for simultaneous identification and confirmation of these compounds from CA seeds. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) based quantification method was developed with MRM optimizer software for MS1 and MS2 mass analysis. The method was optimized on precursor ions and product ions with the ion ratio of each compound. The calibration curves of seven bioactive analytes showed excellent linearity (r2 ≥ 0.99). The quantitation results found precise (RSD, < 10 %) with good recoveries (84.58 to 101.42%). The matrix effect and extraction recoveries were found within the range (91.66 to 102.11%) for the CA seeds. This is the first MS/MS-based methodology applied to quantifying seven antidiabetic compounds in CA seeds and its extract for quality control purposes.

Antifungal activities of natural substrances from Eucalyptus darlympleana, E. globules, E. gunnii and E. unigera were evaluated against postharvest pathogens of kiwifruits, Botrytis cinerea, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Diaporthe actinidiae, to screen effective natural substances as an alternative to chemical fungicides. Methanol extract of the Eucalyptus trees showed strong antagonistic activity against the pathogenic fungi. Among them, E. unigera and E. darlympleana effectively inhibited mycelial growth of the pathogens. For chemical identification of the antifungal substances, the methanol extract of E. darlympleana leaves was successively partitioned with $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$. Among the fractions, $CH_2Cl_2$ and n-BuOH showed strong inhibitory activity of mycelial growth of the fungi. Five compounds were isolated from EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions subjected to $SiO_2$ column chromatography. Two phenolic compounds(gallic acid and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) and three flavonoid compounds(quercetin, quercetin-3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnoside, quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-glucoside) were identified by $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy. Among them, only gallic acid was found to be effective in mycelial growth and spore germination of B. cinerea at relatively high concentrations. The results suggest that gallic acid can be a safer and more acceptable alternative to current synthetic fungicides controlling soft rot decay of kiwifruit during postharvest storage.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is associated with various human diseases, such as cancer, auto-immune disease, and intestinal inflammation. The limited and inadequate effect of standard approaches for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has prompted to develop alternative anti-colitis agents through inhibition of STAT3. Here, we show that gallic acid (GA), a 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, markedly reduced phosphorylation of STAT3. Among the derivatives of benzoic acids, GA showed significant inhibition on STAT3 phosphorylation. In addition, GA ameliorated the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute colitis as determined by the measurement of symptomatic and histological indices. The suppression of DSS-induced acute colitis by GA treatment may be related to the regulation of cytokines and growth factors. Furthermore, GA inhibited phosphorylation of STAT3 in the colon tissue of DSS-treated mice. These findings may be useful in comprehending the molecular action of GA on STAT3 phosphorylation and provide novel insights into the potential application of GA in the treatment of STAT3-related inflammatory disease, such as IBD.

본 연구에서는 감광제에 의한 폴리페놀의 갈변 정도 및 폴리페놀 함량의 변화와 산화방지활성과 ROS 생성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 감광제에 의해 갈산과 타닌산의 자동산화가 현저히 가속화 되었으며, 타닌산에서 그 효과가 더욱 두드러졌다. 폴리페놀 함량은 산화가 진행됨에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였으나, 감광제에 농도에 의한 유의적인 차이는 EB에 의해서만 나타났으며, ABTS 라디칼 소거능 변화에서도 유사한 양상을 보였다. 갈산과 타닌산에서 ROS 생성의 증가는 명소에서 감광제 존재 하에 농도 유의적으로 증가하였다. 본 연구 결과는 폴리페놀이 감광제와 함께 빛에 노출 시 폴리페놀의 산화를 촉진시키며, 식품의 가공 및 저장 시 이들의 상호작용을 통한 품질저하 및 생리활성 변화에 주의할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

The tannins represent a highly heterogeneous group of water-soluble plant polyphenols that may play an important role in antimutagenic and antioxidant properties. We investigated the antioxidant function of tannic acid in comparison to other phenolic compounds including catechin, chlorogenic acid, cinnamic acid, ellagic acid, and gallic acid for their ability to scavenge several stable radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as ${\bullet}DPPH^+$, ${\bullet}ABTS^+$, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide radical. The ability of tannic acid to decrease paraquat-induced lipid oxidation in mouse liver and lung through its antioxidant properties was also assessed. The results showed that almost all the tested compounds have stable radical scavenging activity except cinnamic acid. Tannic acid, gallic acid, and ellagic acid demonstrated remarkable ROS scavenging properties toward $H_2O_2$, ${\bullet}OH^-$, ${\bullet}O_2^-$ and especially only tannic acid could inhibit paraquat-induced lipid peroxidation effectively in mouse liver and lung. Based on these results, it appears that increased number of galloyl and ortho-hydroxyl groups enhances the antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds and tannic acid is evaluated as the most effective antioxidant among all the tested compounds. These results suggest that the tannins, especially tannic acid, can be used as therapeutic agent for various diseases caused by ROS.

Twenty-five compounds were isolated from the methanolic extract of Geum japonicum (Rosaceae), and their structures were identified as eleven triterpenoids [ursolic acid 3-acetate (2), cecropiacic acid 3-methyl ester (3), pomolic acid 3-acetate (5), ursonic acid (6), ursolic acid (7), pomolic acid (8), corosolic acid (9), euscaphic acid (11), arjunic acid (16), tormentic acid (18), 23-hydroxytormentic acid (21)], two saponins [rosamultin (22) and kaji-ichigoside $F_1$ (23)], two megastigmanes [blumenol A (14) and (+)-dehydrovomifoliol (15)], three flavonoids [apigenin (13), isoquercitrin (17) and tiliroside (24)], two ellagic acid derivatives [3,3'-di-O-methylellagic acid (12) and ducheside B (25)] and five others [eugenol (1), emodin (4), vanillic acid (10), gallic aldehyde (19), salidroside (20)]. The chemical structures of these compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods and comparison with literature values. This is the first report of the eleven compounds, 2~6, 10, 15, 16, 20, 23, and 25 from the genus Geum, as well as the first report of apigenin (13) and 3,3'-di-O-methylellagic acid (12) from G. japonicum. The antioxidant properties of 22 isolates (1~11, 14, 16~25) were evaluated by the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) radical scavenging using 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA) assay. Among them, isoquercitrin (17) showed significant scavenging activity, and gallic aldehyde (19) and ducheside B (25) showed weak scavenging activity.

Gallic acid와 linoleic acid의 합성물인 octadeca-9,12-dienyl-3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate(GA-LA)의 화장품산업에서의 이용 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 유전독성학적 안전성을 확인하고 크림 베이스 유화물을 사용하여 전자공여능, FRAP 및 tyrosinase 활성 억제능력과 같은 GA-LA의 생리 기능성 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 유전독성학적 안전성이 확인되었고, 산화에 의한 피부의 노화를 억제하기 위한 항산화 능력과 미백과 관련된 tyrosinase 활성 억제 능력이 있음이 확인되었다. 따라서 GA-LA는 식품산업뿐만 아니라 화장품산업에서 유용한 기능성 물질로 쓰일 수 있을 것이라고 생각되어진다.

본 연구의 목적은 오레가노 추출물의 유리 라디칼 소거 및 지질과산화 억제 등 항산화 효과를 조사하기 위함이다. Pyrogallol의 억제율을 100%로 기준하였을 때, DPPH 라디칼을 50% 억제시키는데 필요한 오레가노 함량은 $21.8{\mu}g$이었다. 총항산화 활성은 강력한 자유라디칼에 대한 총항산화능으로 측정하였다. 오레가노 추출물 7.5 및 $15{\mu}g$의 총항산화능은 각각 15.1 및 31.4 nmol Trolox와 대등한 수준이었다. 오레가노 추출물 0.2 및 $0.4{\mu}g$의 산소라디칼 소거능은 각각 1.4 및 2.4 nmol gallic acid와 대등한 수준이었다. 오레가노 추출물 30 및 $75{\mu}g$의 총페놀 함량은 각각 40.5 및 83.9 nmol gallic acid와 대등한 수준이었다. 지질과산화에 대한 억제효과는 이황화철/아스코르빈산에 의해 유도된 랫드 간 미토콘드리아를 이용하여 조사하였다. 오레가노 추출물 20 및 $50{\mu}g$은 TBARS 수준을 각각 20 및 64% 억제시켰다. 이와같이 오레가노 추출물의 강력한 항산화 효과는 적어도 자유라디칼의 산화억제와 지질과산화 억제에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.
