본 연구는 와송에 유기용매를 활용하여 순차적으로 추출하여 항염증 활성에 대한 가능성을 평가하기 하기 위해 수행되었다. 대식세포에 와송 hexane 추출물을 전처리하고 LPS로 염증을 자극하여 염증과 관련한 세포내 신호전달 경로에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 대식세포에 와송 hexane 추출물은 LPS 자극에 의해 세포 독성이 나타나지 않았고, ROS의 생성을 억제하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IP-10과 같은 전염증성 사이토카인의 분비를 mRNA 수준에서 확인한 결과 탁월하게 억제하였다. 이러한 전염증성 사이토카인의 생성 억제는 상위 전사인자인 AP-1과 IRF3의 조절을 통해 이루어지므로 이들을 단백질 수준에서 발현량을 확인하였다. 그 결과 c-Jun, c-Fos, IRF-3의 인산화 억제로 핵 내 전사활성이 제한되었을 것으로 생각된다. 이들 결과를 종합해볼 때, 와송 hexane 추출물은 염증 반응을 저해하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 다양한 염증성 질환의 예방 및 개선에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

우리나라 전국 산지에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 노루발풀을 건조시켜 80% ethanol 추출물과 여러 가지 용매 분획물의 미생물 증식 억제 효과에 대해서 검색하였다. 노루발풀의 80% ethanol 추출물은 그람 양성균 B. subtilis에서 농도 의존적으로 항균활성을 나타내는 반면 그람 음성균 E. coli에서는 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 노루발풀의 80% ethanol 추출물을 용매 분획하여 얻은 분획물 중 hexane층에서 항균활성이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 노루발풀의 항균활성 물질을 검색하기 위한 목적으로 hexane 분획물을 silica gel column chromatography, prep. TLC 및 HPLC를 실시하였으며 그 결과, peak I의 단일 물질이 노루발풀의 B. subtilis에 대한 항균활성을 나타내는 물질임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the anti-inflammatory activity of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) ethanolic extract fractions (CFEFs). Butanol fraction had the strongest antioxidant activity, and all CFEFs, except for chloroform fraction, partly inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitrite production in RAW 264.7 cells. In the cell-free system, hexane and butanol fractions chemically quenched nitric oxide (NO). In addition, the iNOS mRNA transcription was suppressed by ethanol extract and hexane fraction in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Taken together, the inhibitory effect of CFEFs on NO production from LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, might be due to both the chemical NO quenching activity and the suppression of iNOS mRNA transcription partially. The synthesis of prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) was potently inhibited by ethanol extract to below basal label, and the transcription of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme involving in $PGE_2$ synthesis, was partially suppressed by ethanol extract and hexane fraction. Based on these results, CFEFs may be useful as an alternative medicine for the relief and retardation of immunological inflammatory responses through the reduction of inflammatory mediators, including NO and $PGE_2$ production.

The anti-inflammatory activity of fruit body of Phellinus pini was investigated by activity-guided fractionation. From the screening of each fraction for the inhibitory activity of NO production in lipopolysaccaride (LPS) activated RAW 264.7 cells, methanol extract and its hexane soluble fraction of Phellinus pini exhibited inhibition of NO production compared with LPS control without toxicity. The hexane soluble fraction showed dose-dependent inhibition of NO production. The active hexane fraction was repeatedly chromatographed over silica gel, ergosta-7,24(28)-dien-3-ol(1) and ergosterol peroxide (2) were isolated and identified. Ergosterol derivatives were inhibited NOS activation, $IC_{50}$ of them were $18.9{\pm}3.9{\mu}M$ (1) and $20.4{\pm}4.5{\mu}M$ (2).

The bark of Juglans mandshurica Maxim. was collected, extracted with acetone-$H_2O$ (7:3, v/v), fractioned with n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$ and EtOAc, then each fraction was freeze-dried to give some powders. A portion of the EtOAc (28.4 g) fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column eluting with a series of MeOH-$H_2O$ and EtOH-hexane mixture. Four gallotannins, gallic acid (1), ellagic acid (2), 1,2,4,6-tetra-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucose (3) and 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucose (4), have been isolated from the EtOAc fraction Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical evidence and spectrometric analysis such as NMR and MS. The antioxidant activities on each fraction and the isolated gallotannins were evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging test.

Alnus japonica cortex has been used as antidiarrhea, antihemorrhage and the remedy of indigestion. This study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of the methanol extracts of the Alnus japonica cortex on the gastric lesion and ulcer. The methanol extract was fractionated with hexane, chloroform and butanol, followed by bioassay on antigastritic and antiulcer activity. The methanol extract showed low acute toxicity with minimum lethal dose of more than 5000 mg/kg, p.o. in mice. The chloroform and the butanol fraction reduced gastric lesion in HCI. ethanol induced gastritic model. On gastric secretion in pylorus ligated rat, the hexane and chloroform fraction decreased the volume and acidity. The butanol fraction had significant inhibitory effects on aspirin and Shay's ulcer. The butanol fraction showed a tendency to inhibit the decrease of mucin secretion due to ingestion of absolute ethanol.

Juglans mandshurica bark was collected and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone. The extracts were concentrated and then sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, and $H_2O$ to be freeze dried. A portion of $H_2O$ fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column using aqueous methanol to isolate (S)-2,3-HHDP-D-glucopyranoside (1). Some of EtOAc fraction was also treated on a Sephadex LH-20 column using aqueous methanol and EtOH-hexane mixture to purify pedunculagin (2). The structures of these two epimeric ellagitannins were elucidated by spectroscopic tools, NMR and MS.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is known to contain water-soluble substances that improve antioxidant status due to the richness in antioxidants. Greenhouse experiment was carried out under different shading conditions during spring lettuce growing season. Shade significantly reduced shoot weight, number of leaves and chlorophyll content, while it increased shoot length of lettuce plants. The antioxidant potential of the individual fraction was in order of n-butanol > ethyl acetate > water > n-hexane fraction, although was less than that of commonly used antioxidants, BHT and ascorbic acid. Fractions from lettuce plants dose-dependently increased DPPH free radical scavenging activity, in vitro test. By means of HPLC analysis, BuOH fraction of cultivar 'Hwahyang' (57.93 mg $100g^{-1}$) had the highest amount of antioxidant chi orogenic acid. Shading treatment increased average amount of chlorogenic acid of all cultivars in BuoH, EtOAc, hexane and water fractions by 33, 120, 144, and $58\%$, respectively. These results suggest that lettuce plants had potent antioxidant activity, and their activities were differently exhibited depending on cultivar and fraction.

One subfraction from the hexane fraction of Acri graminei Rhizoma, the E4 fraction which is mainly consisted of acorenone, showed a potential inhibitory activity against chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) of S. aureus SA2 that is a multidrug-resistant strain to 10 usual antibiotics. The combination therapy of this fraction with chloramphenicol resulted in reduction of the minimal inhibitory concentration from 128 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml to 8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. The E4 fraction also revealed to prevent the induction of CAT from this strain.
