In the present study, anti-oxidative and the RMC proliferation inhibitory propeties of 80% ethanol extracts from 63 kinds of traditional medicines were investigated. Inhibitory effects of RMC proliferation were showed that Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen., Melia azedarach Linn$\acute{e}$ and Hydnocarpus anthelmintica Pierre. Among them Hydnocarpus anthelmintica Pierre had the highest anti-oxidative activity ($ORAC_{PE\;value}=1.6$, DPPH = 81.1), but Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen. and Melia azedarach Linn$\acute{e}$ had no effects. These results suggest that the Hydnocarpus anthelmintica Pierre could prevent or protect from kidney disease as antioxidant and anti-proliferative agent for RMC.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of antioxidant activities, protein and mRNA expressions of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1 and procollagen type I C-peptide (PIP) in 70% ethanol extract from Hydnocarpus anthelmintica Pierre (HE). DPPH and ABTS⁺ radicals scavenging assays were measured for antioxidant activities and HE had 73.5% and 74.4% of scavenging activities at 1,000 ㎍/ml concentration, respectively. And we investigated the inhibition of collagenase by HE, and the result was a 78.8% inhibition effect on concentrations of 1,000 ㎍/ml. In addition, an MTT assay was performed to confirm the toxicity of the CCD-986sk fibroblasts to the HE, and as a result, the cell viability rate was about 91.7% at a concentration of 50 ㎍/ml or less, and subsequent cell experiments were performed at a concentration of 50 ㎍/ml or less. We treated the cells with UVB (20 mJ/cm²) for stimulation, treated HE at various concentrations, and performed ELISA tests and RT-PCR experiments. And HE increased the PIP and mRNA in a dose-dependent manner and showed an expression rate of about 64.2% and 83.4%, respectively, at a concentration of 50 ㎍/ml compared with Cont (50.3% and 45.8%, respectively). And HE suppressed the MMP-1 protein and mRNA in a dose-dependent manner and showed a low expression rate of about 48.7% and 35.9%, respectively, at a concentration of 50 ㎍/ml. These results can be applied to developing anti-wrinkle materials for functional food and cosmetics with HE.
