The current study was carried out to determine the effects of the leaf and root of Houttuynia cordata Thunb on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Total polyphenol contents of leaf and root ethanol extracts were found to be 59.32 and 12.07 mg/g, respectively. Also, total flavonoid contents of leaf and root ethanol extracts were found to be 10.85 and 8.55 mg/g, respectively. The $RC_{50}$ values of DPPH radical scavenging of leaf and root ethanol extracts were 23.51 and $154.72{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $RC_{50}$ values of ABTS radical scavenging of leaf and root ethanol extracts were 35.42 and $233.89{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The antioxidant activities in leaf ethanol extracts were higher in root. Also, to confirm anti-inflammatory activity of ethanol extract, we treat leaf and root of Houttuynia cordata Thunb extract on BV-2 cell with LPS. The NO inhibition effects in of Houttuynia cordata Thunb leaf ethanol extracts showed higher values compared with the root ethanol extracts. These results indicate that Houttuynia cordata Thunb ethanol extracts may play a positive role in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Effects of Houttuynia cordata ethanol extracts on lipid metabolism and antioxidant enzymes in Sprague Dawley male rats were investigated. High fat used in the diet mixture included 10% of lard, 1% of cholesterol and 0.25% of sodium cholate. Total serum cholesterol contents of the rats fed Houttuynia cordata extracts were decreased compared to the control. On the other hand, HDL cholesterol contents were increased along with the decrease of athrogenic index. When high fat diet was fed, total serum cholesterol contents were significantly increased(p<0.01) with the athrogenic index increase of four times of the control. With the administration of Houttuynia cordata extract HDL cholesterol was increased by 53% in the high fat diet group. Antioxidant enzymes including GST and catalase activities were increased comparing the control. On the otherhand, the extracts lowered phospholipid(p<0.01), GOT, GPT, Cu,Zn SOD and alkaline phosphatase enzyme activities in the serum which are related to the liver functions. Therefore, the above results suggest that Houttuynia cordata ethanol extracts can help to maintain normal liver functions and help to protect from peroxidative damages caused by excess dietary fat intake.

This study was carried out to evaluate cytotoxic effects of Houttuynia cordata Thunberg extracts on murine leukemia tumor cell lines. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazol iumbromide (MMT) assay. The comparison of $IC_{50}$ values of Houttuynia cordata Thunberg extracts on $L1210,\;P388D_1$ and Vero cell lines showed that the methanol extract of Houttuynia cordata Thunberg indicated the most antitumor activity in the MTT assay. In order to develop a antimicrobial agent, dried Houttuynia cordata Thunberg was extracted with several solvents, and then antimicrobial activity was investigated. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extracted substance against microorganisms were also examined. Antimicrobial activity of amocla and ketoconazole as references was compared to those of other solvent extracts such as $H_2O$, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate ethanol and methanol. The antimicrobial activity of all extracts from the sample had growth inhibition activity against gram-negative bacteria, yam-positive bacteria and fungi $(MIC,\;>\;200\;{\mu} g/ml)$. These results suggest that the methanol soluble extract of Houttuynia cordata Thunberg may be a valuable choice for the studies on the treaeent of murine leukemia tumor cell lines and antimicrobial agents.

Background: Hair loss related syndromes are increasing due to environmental pollution and stress. Hair care products are mainly prepared by mixing chemicals and natural extracts, such as those obtained from medicinal plants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 70% ethanol extracts from the flowers of Calendula officinalis, fruit body of Phellinus linteus, and the whole plant of Houttuynia cordata on the growth of CCD-986 cells, hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPC), and 3T3-L1 cells. Methods and Results: All sample extracts at all concentrations, except for that from P. linteus fruit body at $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, were cytotoxic to CCD-986 cells. However, none of the sample extracts were cytotoxic to HFDPC. The lipid differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells regulates hair regeneration via secretion of platelet derived growth factor. The 70% ethanol extract of H. cordata whole plant promoted hair growth. Adipogenesis rate significantly increased in a treatment concentration-dependent manner. Conclusions: These results suggest that 70% ethanol extracts of C. officinalis flower, P. linteus fruit body and H. cordata could be used for the development of hair care products.

Houttuynia cordata Thunberg는 전통의학에서 다양한 약리학적 작용에 대해 연구되어 왔다. 본 연구에서, 거세 및 테스토스테론 프로피오네이트(TP) 주입에 의해 유도된 양성 전립선 비대증(BPH) 모델에 대한 Houttuynia cordata 에탄올 추출물(HCE)의 영향을 조사했다. 총 30마리의 쥐를 6개의 그룹으로 나누었다. 한 그룹은 정상 대조군으로 사용되었고 다른 그룹은 거세 후 14일 동안 복강내 TP를 주입하여 BPH를 유도하였다. 양성 대조군은 BPH 모델에 매일 피나스테라이드(5 mg/kg)를 투여했다. 피나스테라이드 대신 HCE (0.5, 1, 2mg/kg)를 투여한 군은 실험 군으로서 대조군과 비교하였다. 체중 100 g 기준으로 전립선 무게에 대한 통계적 유의성은 없었다. ELISA 검사로 5-α 환원효소 및 디하이드록시 테스토스테론(DHT) 농도를 측정하였으며, 모든 실험군에서 유의미한 감소가 있었다. 5-α 환원효소의 경우 HCE (0.5 mg/kg) 군이 가장 낮았고, DHT는 HCE (2 mg/kg) 군에서 가장 낮은 수치를 보였다. 전립선에 대한 조직병리학적 관찰에서 대조군과 HCE (2 mg/kg) 투여 군은 정상 세포 형태를 보였고 세포팽창이 없었다. 그러나 음성 대조군과 HCE (1 mg/kg) 군에서는 세포가 부풀어 오르고 세포 사이의 간격이 좁아졌다. 특히 HCE (0.5 mg/kg) 군에서는 일부 세포가 터지는 현상이 나타났다. 따라서 2 mg/kg 이상의 HCE를 투여하는 것이 BPH의 보호 효과에 적합할 것이다.

다제내성균의 증가는 사용할 항생제가 적거나 심지어 선택할 항생제가 없기 때문에 감염환자의 치료에 커다란 위협이 되고 있다. 최근 다양한 천연 추출물이 내성세균에서 항균효과 및 상승효과를 보인다는 보고가 많다. 어성초(Houttuynia cordata)는 항균, 항바이러스 및 항산화 효과를 보이는 전통적 약초이다. 이에 저자들은 임상의 주요 내성균에 대한 어성초의 항균효과를 알아보고, 이들의 적절한 항균효과 측정방법을 평가하고자 한다. 우선 현재 가장 많은 문제를 야기하는 주요 내성균인 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), carbepenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB) 각각 10 균주를 선택하여, CLSI 기준으로 디스크 확산법 및 미량액체배지희석법으로 감수성 시험을 하였다. CLSI 기준으로 시행한 디스크 확산법에서 $4,096{\mu}g/mL$에서 $30,000{\mu}g/mL$ 까지의 농도에서 모든 균의 억제대는 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 액체배지 희석법에서는 MRSA, VRE, CRAB의 $MIC_{90}$이 각각 $4,096{\mu}g/mL$, $8,192{\mu}g/mL$, $4,096{\mu}g/mL$를 보였다. 결론적으로 어성초는 MRSA, VRE, CRAB 등 주요 임상 내성균에서 우수한 항균효과를 보이며 천연물의 항균효과를 평가에 디스크 확산법보다 액체배지 희석법이 유용하다고 할 수 있다. 만약 디스크 확산법으로 항균효과를 측정하려면 천연물에 대한 균 접종 농도의 변경 등 새로운 기준이 요구된다.

The feeding effects of Herba hottuynia extracts on the lipids profiles and the content of TAB-reactive substances were evaluated in rats fed a high cholesterol diet. Hot water or ethanol extracts of the dried leave were evaporated and lyophilized . The experimental animals wer edevided to four groups and fed the following diets for 4 weeks : BAsal (cholesterol-free diet), CHOL(cholesterol-enriched diet),CW (cholesterol plus water extract) and CE(cholesterol plus ethanol extract). Dietary cholesterol increased significantly the activities of serum GOT and GPT, but the extracts feeding (0.5% of diet) did not influence the activities induced by dietary cholesterol. Although dietary cholesterol increased significantly the concentrationof serum andliver cholesterol, it tended to decrease the concentation of serum triglycerides. CHolesterol feeding had a lowering effect on the lipid peroxidation value of serum, but not inliver.Furthermore, the extracts feeding, especially water extract, decreased markedly the liver peroxidation value. The results suggest that Houttyunia cordata extracts have an in vivo antioxidant effect, judged from the TBA value in the liver rats fed a high cholesterol diet.
