So Cheong Ryong Tang (SCRT) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of the bronchial asthma. In this study, the effect of steaming process on changes in 11 major compounds (homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, glycyrrhizin, 6-gingerol, schizandrin, methyleugenol, gomisin A and gomisin N) content and neuroprotective activity of SCRT were evaluated. Major compound content was slightly different with steaming produce. The contents of paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, 6-gingerol and methyleugenol were decreased and homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, glycyrrhizin, schizandrin and gomisin A were increased by steaming process. The neuroprotective activity of steaming SCRT was determined in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells by MTT assay. As a result, neuroprotective activity of a steaming SCRT was higher than that of a non steaming SCRT. This study demonstrated that neuroprotective activity of SCRT can be improved through steaming process.

오미자를 이용한 고기능성 음료개발을 위하여 이번 연구에서는 추출조건별로 오미자의 기능성분 함량 및 anthocyanin 색소에 대한 최적 추출조건을 설정하였다. 분쇄하지 않은 오미자를 이용해서 추출한 경우, Bl값은 차이가 없었으나, schizandrin은 20% 수준에 그쳐 최종적으로 분쇄한 오미자를 시료로 설정하였다. 분쇄한 오미자는 $40^{\circ}C$, 75% ethanol로 추출했을 때 schizandrin 함량이 가장 높았으며, Bl 값은 온도와 ethanol 함량이 높아 질수록 감소하였다. 높은 기능성과 제품의 관능성을 고려할 때 schizandrin 함량과 Bl값을 최적으로 만족하는 조건은 분쇄 오미자를 $46^{\circ}C$에서 24% ethanol을 사용하여 3시간 추출했을 경우 높은 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

Schizandrae Fructus has been used for controlling respiratory allergic or inflammatory diseases in folk medicine and their components, schizandrin, schizandrin-A and gomisin-A were reported to have diverse biological effects. In this study, we investigated whether schizandrin, schizandrin-A and gomisin-A affect adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced mucin secretion from cultured airway epithelial cells. Confluent primary hamster tracheal surface epithelial (HTSE) cells were metabolically radio labeled using $^{3}H-glucosamine$ for 24 h and chased for 30 min in the presence of varying concentrations of each agent to assess the effects on $^{3}H-mucin$ secretion. The results were as follows: 1) schizandrin significantly inhibited ATP-induced mucin secretion; 2) However, schizandrin-A and gomisin-A did not affect ATP-induced mucin secretion, significantly. We conclude that schizandrin can inhibit ATP-induced mucin secretion by directly acting on airway mucin-secreting cells. Therefore, schizandrin should further be investigated for the possible use as mucoregulators in the treatment of inflammatory airway diseases.

Background: Various Schisandra chinensis (SC) varieties grow in diverse regions in Korea. However, there is no valid scientific evidence of these varieties. This study aimed to select the excellent resources in terms of the growth characteristics, antioxidant activities, and analysis of the active compounds of the SC collection. Method and Results: In total, 154 resources of SC were collected from various regions of Korea. The growth characteristics were measured by the number of fruit bunches, fruit number, and weight of 100 fruits. The antioxidant activities were investigated by analyzing the total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents and the radical scavenging activity of DPPH and ABTS. Schizandrin A, schizandrin c, gomisin a, and gomisin N were analyzed by HPLC. Each resource showed different growth characteristics. Among the antioxidative effects, the highest 20 resources showed high antioxidant activities in selected 29 resources. Analysis of the SC lignan index showed that all resources contained more than 1.16% of active compounds. Conclusions: All of the selected 29 SC resources were shown to have excellent growth characteristics, antioxidant activities, and bioactive compound richness. Especially, SC-004, SC-007, and SC-154 showed the best growth characteristics, and SC-22, SC-40, and SC-45 showed the best antioxidant activities and bioactive compound richness.

산란계는 식단의 건강 증진 성분을 계란에 '생체 축적'이 가능한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 오미자 가공 부산물의 분말을 사료에 첨가하여 산란계에 급여가 리그난이 풍부한 기능성 계란의 생산 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 사료는 황옥수수, 쌀겨, 대두박, 어분, 육골분, 가금류분, 프리믹스, CaCO₃ 등이 첨가된 기본 사료에 오미자 가공 부산물 분말을 첨가하여 제형화하였다. 실험의 설계는 대조구와 오미자 가공부산물을 1%, 3%, 5% 및 7% 첨가한 실험군으로 분류하여 완전임의 배치법으로 배치하였다. 계란의 생산성, 평균 무게, 난황과 난백의 리그난 함량은 7일 간격으로 조사하였다. 계란 생산과 평균 계란 무게는 오미자 가공부산물 분말을 사료에 5% 이하로 첨가하여 급여하였을 경우에는 차이가 없었으나, 7%의 고농도로 첨가하여 사료를 급여하였을 경우에는 처리 3주후에는 유의하게 감소하였다. 계란내의 리그난 함량을 조사하기 위하여 액체 크로마토그래피(HPLC)로 분석한 결과, 오미자 가공부산물 분말의 첨가 농도가 높을수록 난황의 gomisin N 과 schisandrin C의 함량을 유의하게 증가시켰으나(p<0.05), 난백에서는 gomisin N은 농도 의존적으로 증가하였으나 schisandrin C는 검출되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 오미자 가공 부산물 분말을 사료여 첨가하여 산란계에 급여할 경우에는 계란의 품질을 향상시키고 리그난이 함유된 계란의 생산이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 오미자 가공 부산물 분말을 5% 이하로 사료에 첨가하여 급여한다면 오미자의 주요 생리활성인 gomisin N 와 schisandrin C가 풍부한 기능성 계란의 생산이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In the course of search for hepatoprotective agents from oriental traditional medicines, one compound was isolated from the MeOH extract of the fruits of Schizandra chinensis, and its structure was determined as gomisin J(1). The evaluation for hepatoprotective activity of isolated compound 1 on drug-induced cytotoxicity was conducted, and compound 1 showed protective effect with an EC$_{50}$value of 86.0 ${\pm}$ 5.3 ${\mu}$M against tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep G2 cells. One of the well-known hepatoprotective agents, silybin, used as a positive control, and the hepatoprotective effect of compound 1 is similar with that of silybin (EC$_{50}$ value = 90.5 ${\pm}$ 9.8 ${\mu}$M).

Schisandra chinensis and its fruits have been used as a traditional herbal medicine to treat liver dysfunction, fatigue, and chronic coughs. Several in vitro and in vivo studies suggested that dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans present in Schisandra fruits strongly inhibit CYP3A4 activity. However, reports on the inhibitory potential of dietary Schisandra supplements against CYP3A activity are limited despite their increasing consumption as dietary supplements. In this study, we evaluated the CYP3A-inhibitory potential of four dietary Schisandra supplements in human liver microsomes. At a concentration of 0.05 mg/mL, Schisandra supplements from Nature's Way, Swanson, Planetary Herbals, and Only Natural inhibited CYP3A activity by 93.9, 70.8, 33.6, and 24.8%, respectively. Nature's Way, which exhibited the strongest inhibition against CYP3A, had the highest contents of gomisin B and gomisin C, which potently inhibit CYP3A activity. The in vivo pharmacokinetics of this product should be examined to determine whether the clinical relevance of inhibiting CYP3A activity by dietary Schisandra supplementation.

Schisandra chinensis is a fruit which is called Omija in South Korea. The Korean word Omija means "five flavors" (sweet, spicy, sour, bitter, and salty). The aim of his study was to investigate the correlation between growth characteristics and lignans (gomisin A, gomisin N, schisandrin) contents of Schisandra chinensis. The method for determining lignans was validated by measuring the linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), precision and accuracy using UPLC-UV. Growth characteristics of S. chinensis such as number of fruits per fruit bunch, length of fruit bunch, width of fruit bunch, fresh weight of fruit bunch, length of fruit, width of fruit, fresh weight of fruit, fresh weight of 30 fruits, and sugar contents of fruit were measured. From the results of correlation analysis, it was found that the contents of lignans showed a significantly negative correlation with fresh weight and sugar contents of fruit. These results will be used to study for quality control of S. chinensis fruit.
