We screened the methanol extracts from 133 plant species growing in Korea for antimicrobial activity against enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli 0157 : H7. Those are selected from three plant grouping ; traditional medicinal herbs, edible plants, and flowers. They were tested by disk diffusion assay. From evaluation of the inhibition zone diameter of microbial growth, we found that the flower extract of Rhododendron Schilpenbachii Max had the most significant antimicrobial activity against this bacteria. Extracts from most of the vegetables and plants did not show antimicrobial activity except for the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. and seeds of Prunus Dallicina L. did not show antimicrobial activity except for the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. and the seeds of Prunus sallicina L.

본 연구는 은행 열매 오일의 멜라닌 생성 억제 효과를 확인한 것이다. 은행나무 열매 오일은 DPPH assay와 FRAP assay를 사용하여 라디컬 소거능을 시험하였다. 결과적으로 은행나무 열매 오일은 DMSO를 용매로 0.06% 녹였을 때, DPPH assay에서 9.96% 소거활성을 나타내었고 FRAP는 1.33 mM의 ferric sulfate ($FeSO_4$)를 생성하였다. 은행 열매 오일은 tyrosinase inhibition assay에서 37.72%의 억제력을 가졌고 B16/F10 세포에 멜라닌 생합성 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 은행 오일 0.06%에서 ${\alpha}$-MSH 처리 구에 비해 48.02%의 멜라닌 생성을 억제하였다. Tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), tyrosinase related protein-2 (TRP-2), microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF)의 유전자 발현 수준은 control군에 비해 0.04%와 0.06% 농도 군이 크게 감소하였다. 결과적으로 은행 열매 오일 추출물이 멜라닌 생성을 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

은행나무 종자인 백과를 70% 에탄올로 추출하여 미백 효능을 규명하고 화장품 소재로서의 응용 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 백과 에탄올추출물 (GBE)을 B16F10 melanoma cells에 처치하여 멜라닌 생성과 tyrosinase 활성을 확인한 결과 유의한 수준의 멜라닌 생성 저해가 관찰되었고, 멜라닌 생성과정에 관여하는 주요 효소인 tyrosinase의 활성이 농도 의존적으로 억제됨이 관찰되었다. 멜라닌 생성 관련 주요 인자들의 단백질 발현과 mRNA 수준을 관찰한 결과, tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1, -2 (TRP-1, -2), microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF)의 단백질 발현과 유전자 수준이 GBE의 처리에 의해 유의한 수준으로 저해되었다. 이 결과를 통해, 본 연구의 백과 에탄올추출물은 멜라닌 세포의 멜라닌 생성 관련 핵심 전사인자인 MITF의 조절을 통해 멜라닌 생성 억제 효과를 나타내는 것으로 보인다. 이에 따라 백과 에탄올추출물을 화장품 미백 기능성 소재로 활용 가능성이 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The textile remains have been affected largely by environmental factors including microorganisms because they were composed of organic compounds to be easy to damage. So, we selected 8 strains of the 131 isolated strains from museum environments and textile remains by high pretense activity, and identified them for measuring the antibacterial activity of Gingko biloba extracts. They were identified Genus Arthrobacter spp. 3 strains (Arthrobacter nicotiannae A12, Arthrobacter sp B12, Arthrobacter oxidans B13), Cenus Bacillus spp. 2 strains (Bacillus licheniformis D9, Bacillus cereus D33), Genus Pseudomonas spp. 2 strains (Pseudomonas putida A24, Pseufomonas fluorescene C21) and a Genus Staphylococcus sp. 1 strain (Staphylococcus pasteuri D3) as closest strains through the blast search of NCBI. Though antibacterial activity of the extracts of Gingko biloba leaves as MIC was lower than that of other pharmaceutical antibiotics. However the extracts was crude extracts, the extracts might have good antibacterial against most of the isolates from museum. Especially, the antifungal activity of Gingko biloba is known previously, the extracts of Gingko biloba leaves has possibility of usage as a good natural material for conservation of remains.

본 연구에서는 조직배양을 통해 은행나무 잎으로부터 캘러스를 유도하였고, 최대 생장량과 항산화능이 우수한 배양조건을 확립하였다. 즉, 은행잎을 이용하여 조직배양한 결과 암과 광조건에서 모두 NAA 첨가 조건이 2,4-D 첨가 조건에 비교하여 양호한 캘러스 생장을 나타냈다. 가장 우수한 캘러스 생장을 나타낸 배양조건은 광조건의 10 ${\mu}M$ NAA와 5 ${\mu}M$ kinetin의 조합 처리시였다. 따라서 현탁배양에서 캘러스의 지속적인 유지를 위한 효과적인 생장조절제는 10 ${\mu}M$ NAA/0.5 ${\mu}M$ BA, 10 ${\mu}M$ NAA/0.5 ${\mu}M$ kinetin으로 나타났다. 또한 은행잎 유래 캘러스 추출물의 항산화능은 광조건에서 10 ${\mu}M$ NAA가 처리된 기본 MS배지에 캘러스를 현탁 배양하였을 때 가장 높게 나타났다. HPLC를 통한 flavonol glycosides를 분석한 결과 10 ${\mu}M$ NAA가 처리된 조건에서 현탁 배양된 녹색 캘러스에서 quercetin dehydrate와 keamperol이 각각 0.556, 0.157 ${\mu}g$/20 ${\mu}l$ 검출되었다. 잎 추출물에 비해 표적물질을 제외한 불순물이 적어 표적물질의 순수생산이 가능할 것으로 기대되며, 특히 keamperol의 경우 기존의 연구보고에 비해 약 7배 높은 함량이 검출되었다.

Methanol extracts of domestic plants of Korea were evaluated as a potential inhibitor of neutral pH optimum and membrane-associated 60 kDa sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) activity. In this study, we partially purified N-SMase from bovine brain membranes using ammonium sulfate. It was purified approximately 163-fold by the sequential use of DE52, Butyl-Toyopearl, DEAE-Cellulose, and Phenyl-5PW column chromatographies. The purified N-SMase activity was assayed in the presence of the plant extracts of three hundreds species. Based on the in vitro assay, three plant extracts significantly inhibited the N-SMase activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. To further examine the inhibitory pattern, a Dixon plot was constructed for each of the plant extracts. The extracts of Abies nephrolepis, Acer tegmentosum, and Ginkgo biloba revealed a competitive inhibition with the inhibition constant (Ki) of $11.9 {\mu}g/mL,\;9.4{\mu}g/mL,\;and\;12.9{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. These extracts also inhibited in a dose-dependent manner the production of ceramide induced by serum deprivation in human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y.

Ultraviolet(UV) radiation causes a variety of biological effects on the skin, including inflammation, pigmentation, photoaging and cancer. Free radicals are involved in inflammatory skin reactions induced by UVB radiation. In this study, we investigated the effects of antioxidants(Tea, Korean red ginseng, Ginkgo biloba extract) on UVB-induced skin damage. Tea, KRG and EGb 761 were topically treated to dorsal skin of ICR mouse. The mice were also treated soon after IMED ($1.4KJ/m^{2}$) of UVB irradiation. Skin pigmentation of irradiated mouse was observed by a chromameter after 2 weeks. Topical application of Tea, KRG and EGb 761 for 2 weeks decreased skin pigmentation compared to DVB control group(p<.05). Tea, KRG and EGb 761 also reduced UVB-induced infiltration of inflammatory cells. These results showed that Tea, KRG and EGb 761 as a topical application may have preventive effect against UVB-induced skin damage.

The herbal extract (YMT_02) is a modified herbal extracts from Yukmijihwangtang (YMJ) to promote memory-enhancing. The YMJ extracts has been widely used as an anti-aging herbal medicine for hundred years in Asian countries. The purpose of this study is to; 1) quantitatively evaluate the memory-enhancing effect of YMT_02 by hehavior task, 2) identify candidate genes responsible for enhancing memory by cDNA microarray and 3) assess the anti-oxidant effect of YMT_02 on PC12 cell. Memory retention abilities are addressed by passive avoidance task with Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rat. Before the training session, the rats are subdivided into four groups and administrated with YMT_02, Ginkgo biloba, Soya lecithin and normal saline for 10 days. The retention test was performed. 24 hours after the training session. The retention time of the YMT_02 group was significantly (p<0.05) delayed $({\sim}100%)$, whereas Ginkgo biloba and Soya lecithin treatment delayed 20% and 10% respectively. The hippocampi of YMT_02 and control group were dissected and mRNA was further purified. After synthesizing cDNA using oligo-dT primer, the cDNA were applied and mRNA was further purified. After synthesizing cDNA using oligo-dT primer, the cDNA were applied to Incyte rat GEMTM 2 cDNA microarray. The microarray results show that prealbumin(transthyretin), phosphotidy lethanolamine N-methyltransferase, and PEP-19 are expressed abundantly in the YMT_02 treated group. Especially, PEP-19 is a neuron-specific protein, which inhibits apoptotic processes in neuronal cell. On the other hand, transcripts of RAB15, glutamate receptor subunit 2 and CDK 108 are abundant in control group. Besides, neuronal genes involved in neuronal death or neurodegeneration such as neuronal-pentraxin and spectrin are abundantly expressed in control group. Additionally, the YMT_02 shows an anti oxidative effect in the PC12 cell. The list of differentially expressed genes may implicate further insight on the action and mechanism behind the memory-enhancing effect of herbal extracts YMT_02, for example, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative, and neuroprotective effects.

Acaricide effect against Tetranichus urticae, Myzus persica, Spodoptera litura and Plutella xylostella with the Ginkgo biloba leaves extracts was reviewed. This result was motality 74.3%, 88.7% respectively, after tretment 24hr, 72hr about $80^{\circ}C$ water extract(GLW80, 1%) of Tetranichus urticae and the insecticide took effect showed its effect in some 50% against the other three. But, motality of Tetranichus urticae against 10% GLW80 showed its 90.6%, 98.3% after tretment 24hr and 48hr.
