한국에서 '가가이모과잎'이라고 불리는 인도의 전통 식물 약재인 Gymnema sylvestre는 당뇨의 원인인 생체 내당의 대사를 조절하는 약재로 이용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Gymnema sylvestre 잎으로부터 인공적으로 조직 배양한 캘러스를 대량 배양하였다. 배양된 캘러스부터 추출물을 얻은 후 지방 전구 세포인 3T3-Ll 세포를 이용하여 항비만 효과를 관찰하였다. 결과적으로, Gymnema sylvestre 잎으로부터 조직 배양한 캘러스 추출물은 지방 전구 세포의 지방세포로의 분화뿐만 아니라 세포 내 지질 축적을 억제 하였다. 또한 지방세포의 형성을 조절하는 초기 지방세포 내의 전사인자인 C/EBP-${\alpha}$ 발현을 억제하면서 인슐린에 의해 유도된 지방세포의 분화를 억제하였다. 따라서 이러한 결과들은 피부를 위한 화장품 성분으로서 응용 가능성을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Plants are a traditional source of many chemicals used as biochemical, flavors, food, color, and pharmaceuticals in various countries, especially India. Most herbal medicines and their derivatives are often made from crude extracts containing a complex mixture of various phytochemical chemical components (secondary metabolites of the plants). This study aimed to identify bioactive compounds from the different parts of the plant from the ethanolic extract of Gymnema sylvestre, Senna auriculata, and Cissus quadrangularis (leaves, flower, stem) by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The gas chromatography - mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of various compounds like 3,4-dimethylcyclohexanol, hexanoic acid, D-mannose, and N-decanoic acid. Hence, the Gymnema sylvestre, Senna auriculata, and Cissus quadrangularis may have chemopreventive, anti-cancer, anti-microbial activity, antioxidant, anti-diabetic activity, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal due to the presence of secondary metabolites in the ethanolic extract. These phytochemicals are supported for traditional use in a variety of diseases.

In India, Gymnema sylvestre due to the unique property of the plant to antagonize the sweet taste is known as 'Gur-mar'. It has several ethnomedicinal values as various tribals/traditional communities and rural peoples of India find diverse medicinal uses viz. antidiabetic, stomachic, diuretic, and is useful in cough and throat troubles. Besides, it has strong effect on reducing blood sugar. The present communication deals with the detailed pharmacognostical evaluation of the aerial parts of G. sylvestre collected from three places of the country-Varanasi (U.P), Panchmarhi (M.P), Salem (Tami Nadu) and commercial sample procured from local market. The botanical and physico-chemical parameters of all the samples were quite similar though little variations were observed in foaming index, alcohol and water soluble extractives of local sample. The microscopic characteristics of the drug are horse shoe shaped petiole with 3 amphicribal vascular bundles, sieve tubes well developed; anomocytic stomata only on the abaxial surface of the leaf, the fan shaped amphicribal vascular bundle, presence of intraxylary phloem. The TLC fingerprint profile of all the samples was more or less similar only the quantity of some of the compounds varied.

당살초(Gymnema sylvestre)는 다이어트와 당뇨에 효과가 있다고 알려지면서 미국, 일본, 인도에서 다양한 제품들이 판매, 유통되고 있다. 하지만 권장용량이 불분명하고 안전성이 입증되지 않았다. 따라서 식품에서 당살초를 확인할 수 있는 분석법 개발이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 LC-ESI-MS/MS와 KASP 마커를 이용해 식품 속에서 당살초를 확인할 수 있는 분석법을 마련하였다. LC-ESI-MS/MS에서는 negative 이온화 모드에서 gymnemic acid 와 deacylgymnemic acid를 동시 분석법을 최적화 하였으며 고체시료와 액체시료에 대한 유효성 검증 마쳤다. 또한 염기서열 분석을 통해서 ITS2와 matK에서 당살초 특이적인 SNP를 찾아 KASP 마커를 제작하였다. 제작한 2개의 KASP 마커는 당살초와 결합해 FAM 형광 양성을 나타내며 당살초 원물에서 이러한 양상을 확인하였다. 인터넷을 통해 구매한 21개의 당살초 함유 식품 및 건강기능식품에 대해 적용성 검토를 진행하였다. LC-ESI-MS/MS에서 gymnemic acid 와 deacylgymnemic acid의 비율 차이는 있지만 21개의 제품 모두에서 지표성분이 검출되었다. KASP 분석에서는 9개의 제품에서 FAM 양성이 나타났으며 분석이 되지 않은 제품들은 추출물인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 연구는 LC-ESI-MS/MS와 KASP를 이중 시스템으로 당살초를 분석한 첫 번째 연구이며, 2개의 분석법이 식품에서 당살초 판별에 적용되는 것을 확인하였다.

This study investigated the effects of Gymnema sylvestre (GS) extract on body weight, adiposity, and lipid metabolism in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. The experimental mice were divided into the following 4 groups: basal diet (AIN-93G diet) and 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% GS supplemented groups. Each group was fed the experimental diet for 9 weeks. The final body weights, adipocyte sizes, and epididymal fat weights of the GS groups were significantly lower than those of the control group. There were no significant differences in food intake and food efficiency ratios among the treated groups. Serum triglyceride levels and the atherogenic index were significantly lower in the GS groups compared to the control group. Serum HDL cholesterol levels were significantly higher in the 1% and 1.5% GS groups compared to the control group. Serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase activities did not differ among the four experimental groups. The total hepatic lipid content was significantly lower in the GS groups, and hepatic cholesterol and triglyceride contents tended to be reduced in the GS groups compared to the control group. These results suggest that GS extract may be useful for ameliorating dyslipidemia and fatty liver.

배지 내 식물생장조절물질, 무기물 농도, 질소원 비율이 G. sylvestre 세포배양에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실험을 수행하였다 1.0 mg L$^{-1}$ 이상2,4-D 처리시 세포 생장량이 급격히 감소한 반면, 0.5 mg L$^{-1}$ 이하 kinetin 처리구들은 세포 생장량이 큰 차이가 없었다. 따라서 G. sylvestre 세포배양의 경우 2,4-D 1.0 mg L$^{-1}$와 kinetin 0.1 mg L$^{-1}$를 함께 사용하는 것이 세포 생장량 증대에 효율적이라고 판단되었다. 무기물 농도가 G. sylvestre 세포 생장량에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 1x MS에서 세포 생장량이 가장 높았으며, 배지 내 무기물 농도가 1x MS 이상일 경우 배지의 낮은 수분포텐셜로 인해 세포생장이 크게 억제되었다. $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$ 비율이 0:60에서 가장높은 생장량을 나타내었으나 세포의 크기가 작고 백색을 나타내었으며 연속배양시 생장량이 점차 감소하므로, G. sylvestre 세포를 연속 배양할 경우 $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$를 20:40으로 사용하는 것이 효과적이라고 생각되었다.

Aldose reductase (AR) has been reported to play an important role in sugar-induced cataract. In the present study, the AR inhibitory activity of Enicostemma hyssopifolium (EH), Gymnema sylvestre, Eclipta alba, and Tinospora cordifolia (TC) were studied along with their effect on sugar-induced cataractogenic changes in sheep lenses in vitro. AR inhibitory activity of the aqueous extracts of plants and their anticataract potentials were evaluated in vitro in sheep lenses, considering the activity of normal sheep lenses as 100%. The concentration of the plant extract that showed maximum activity was selected to further study its effect on galactose-induced polyol accumulation in vitro. The $IC_50$ values of EH and TC were calculated to be 102 and 85 ${\mu}g$/ml, respectively. EH showed a significant inhibition (61.3%) in polyol accumulation followed by TC (53.1%). EH and TC possesses a significant anticataract activity in vitro and its anticataract potential could be related with its AR inhibitory effect.

Sitophilus oryzae L. (Rice Weevil) is a stored pest of rice that causes extensive loss throughout the world. We tested the leaf powders of 12 plant species viz., Chrysanthemum sp., Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Citrus grandis, Citrus limon, Gliricidia sepium, Gymnema sylvestre, Hemigraphis colorata, Michelia champaca, Moringa oleifera, Murraya koenigii, Polyalthia longifolia, and Sauropus androgynus at dosages of 1.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 3.00g against the adult rice weevil and mortality was recorded at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 12 and 2l days after treatment (DAT) by direct contact toxicity for their adulticidal effect. We observed 100 percent adult mortality in C. zevlanicum and M. koenigii among the tested leaf powders. In addition, the first-time tested H. colorata and S. androgynus also caused high mortality compared to other plants. All the plant powders caused moderate to high adult mortality. Hence, these plants could be effective botanical insecticides against S. oryzae as they comprise a potential source of bioactive chemicals and are generally free from toxicants. Applications of these natural derivatives in S. oryzae control could reduce the cost of control methods and storage of rice contamination. Therefore, the present study indicates that some plant extracts can be used as an alternative to toxic synthetic chemicals in the management of rice weevils.
