Previous screening of the pharmacological action of Gastrodia elata (GE) root (Orchidaceae) showed that methanol (MeOH) extracts have significant anti-inflammatory properties. The antiinflammatory agents of GE, however, remain unclear. In this experiment, MeOH extracts of GE were fractionated with organic solvents for the anti-inflammatory activity-guided separation of GE. Eight phenolic compounds from the ether (EtOEt) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fractions were isolated by column chromatography: 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (I), 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (II), benzyl alcohol (III), bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) methane (IV), 4(4'-hydroxybenzyloxy)benzyl-methylether (V), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (VI), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (VII), and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (VIII). To investigate the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity of these compounds, their effects on carrageenan-induced paw edema, arachidonic acid (AA)-induced ear edema and analgesic activity in acetic acid (HAc)-induced writhing response were carried out in vivo; cyclooxygenase (COX) activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL 2H3) cells and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydroazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity were determined in vitro. These phenolic compounds not only had anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in vivo, but also inhibited COX activity and silica-induced ROS generation in a dose-dependent manner. Among these phenolic compounds, compound VII was the most potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Compound VII significantly inhibited silica-induced ROS generation and compound VI significantly increased DPPH radical scavenging activity. Compounds I, II and III significantly inhibited the activity of COX-I and II. These results indicate that phenolic compounds of GE are anti-inflammatory, which may be related to inhibition of COX activity and to anti-oxidant activity. Consideration of the structure-activity relationship of the phenolic derivatives from GE on the anti-inflammatory action revealed that both C-4 hydroxy and C-3 methoxy radicals of benzyl aldehyde play an important role in anti-inflammatory activities.

This paper reports the photochemical reduction of benzil 1 to benzoin 2 and the reduction of 2 to hydrobenzoin 4 in deoxygenated solvents in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) and/or TiO2. Without TEA or TiO2, the photolysis of 1 resulted in very low yield of 2. The presence of TEA or TiO2 increased the rate of disappearance of 1 and the yield of 2, which were further increased considerably by the presence of water. The photoreduction of 1 to 2 proceeds through an electron transfer to 1 from TEA or hole-scavenged excited TiO2 followed by protonation. In the reaction medium of 88 : 7 : 2 : 3 CH3CN/CH3OH/H2O/TEA with 2.5 $㎎/m{\ell}$ of TiO2, the yield of 2 was as high as 85 % at 50 % conversion of 1. The photolysis of 2 in homogeneous media resulted in photo-cleavage to benzoyl and hydroxybenzyl radicals, which are mostly converted to benzaldehyde. The reduction product 4 is formed in low yield through the dimerization of hydroxybenzyl radicals. The addition of TEA increased the conversion rate of 2 and the yield of 4 significantly. This was attributed to the scavenging effect of TEA for benzoyl radical to produce N,N-diethylbenzamide and the photoreduction of benzaldehyde in the presence of TEA. The ratio of $(\pm)$ and meso isomers of 4 obtained from the photochemical reaction is about 1.1. This ratio is the same as that from the photochemical reduction of benzaldehyde in the presence of TEA. In the TiO2-sensitized photochemical reduction of 2, meso-4 was obtained in moderate yield. The reduction of 2 to 4 proceeds through two consecutive electron/proton transfer processes on the surface of the photocatalyst without involvement of ${\alpha}-cleavage$. The radical 11 initially formed from 2 by one electron/proton process can also combine with hydroxy methyl radical, which is generated after hole trapping of excited TiO2 by methanol, to produce 1,2-diphenylpropenone after dehydration reaction.

Acetaminophen, which causes acute liver min in humans and animals, has made useful inducer of hepatoxicity for studying hepatopreventive drugs. Injinhotang is known as one of the hepatopreventive drugs. However, its mechanism of recovery of hepatoxicity treated with acetaminophen is poorly understood. this study was performed to observe the antioxidative effect of injinhotang extract and its several combination groups. The results were obtained as follows:1. In the study on free radical scavenging effect in vitro(the suppressing effect on peroxidation of linoleic acid on concentration, the scavenging effect of DPPH radical, inhibitory effect of superoxide in xanthine-xanthine oxidase system and the inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation reaction by hydroxy radical in H2O2-Fe2+system, injinhotang have more effect than its components groups relatively. 2. In the study on antioxidants system in vivo(the level of serum LPO, the level of hepatic LPO, catalase, GSH, GST), only injnhotang has a significant effect. 3. In the study on hepatotoxicity(GOT, GPT, $\gamma$-GTP, ALP, LDH, b ilirubin), only injinhotang has a significant effect. These results suggest that injinhotang has the protective effect on acetaminophen-induced hepatoxicity. The mechanisms of these are supposed to be involved in antioxidant and three drugs' cooperative synergy effect.

본 논문에서는 꽃송이버섯을 4종의 유산균(Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum, L. acidophilus, L. helveticus, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus)을 사용해 발효를 하였다. 발효된 꽃송이버섯 발효물을 항산화 활성(DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, Hydroxy radical scavenging activity), SOD activity, 총 폴리페놀 함량(TPC), HPLC 분석, protease 활성을 동해 발효 전 후 생리활성 변화를 확인하였다. 꽃송이버섯 발효물의 항산화 활성은 IC50 28.09-64.46 ㎍/mL, SOD 활성은 IC50 15.75-39.42 ㎍/mL, TPC는 57.66-100.43 GAE ㎍/mL 와 85.25-110.68 ㎍/mL 로 확인되었다. 꽃송이버섯 추출물의 항산화 활성보다 약 8배 이상 증가된 결과로 확인되었다. 또한 꽃송이버섯 발효물의 HPLC 분석 결과는 ascorbic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid의 함량이 높게 확인되었으며, protease 활성 또한 발효물의 활성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. Lactobacillus 균주들의 작용에 의하여 꽃송이버섯이 발효되면서 폴리페놀류가 증가하여 생리활성이 꽃송이버섯 추출물에 비해 증가한 것으로 추측된다. Lactobacillus 균중에서 L. helveticus 균주로 발효된 꽃송이버섯 발효물은 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈으며, 꽃송이버섯을 발효하는데 있어 L. helveticus 균주가 가장 적합한 균주로 확인되었다.

probiotics strains promoting the health are a collection of microorganisms that improve or restore microbial populations in the intestines. In this study, Leuconostoc probiotics was isolated from fermented gimchi and identified. Angelica dahurica, containing abundantly antioxidant activity, imperator, is a wildly grown species of angelica native. Before fermentation, total phenolics compound were $48.83{\pm}4.9GAE\;mg/g$ in the Angelica dahurica extract. After fermentation total phenolic compounds were $97.7{\pm}12.6GAE\;mg/g$. The total amount of phenol in the fermented product was 30.2% higher than that before fermentation. The total flavonoid content before fermentation was $9.86{\pm}4.3mg/g$ and the total flavonoid content was $37.17{\pm}7.4mg/g$ after fermentation, which was 82.3% higher than before fermentation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity, superoxide radical scavenging activity, hydroxy radical scavenging activity and $Fe^{{+}{+}}$ chelating antioxidative activity of the Angelica dahurica extract were $41.6{\pm}7.1%$, $65.7{\pm}8.4%$, $55.26{\pm}9.4%$ and $17.5{\pm}4.6%$, respectively. After fermentation, they were $60.3{\pm}12.6%$, $78.8{\pm}8.3%$, $56.9{\pm}4.9%$ and $36.6{\pm}8.9%$, respectively. Therefore, the present study suggests that the fermentation using the probiotics strain of the Angelica dahurica extract can be used as a functional health food and cosmetic material with increased antioxidant capacity.

무말랭이 및 가압볶음 무말랭이 열수 추출물의 항산화 효과를 in vitro와 LLC-$PK_1$ cellular system에서 살펴보았다. 무말랭이 열수 추출물과 가압볶음 무말랭이 열수 추출물의 라디칼 소거능을 $IC_{50}$로 비교해 보았을 때 DPPH(646.70 vs $135.45\;{\mu}g/mL$), superoxide anion(896.10 vs $566.98\;{\mu}g/mL$) 및 hydroxyl radical(722.26 vs $531.84\;{\mu}g/mL$)에 대한 가압볶음 열수 추출물의 효과가 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 이러한 유리기 소거효과는 LLC-PK1 cell에서 pyrogallol, SNP 및 SIN-1 처리로 superoxide, nitric oxide 및 peroxynitrite를 생성하여 산화스트레스를 유발한 다음 무말랭이 및 가압볶음 무말랭이 열수추출물을 첨가하였을때 농도 의존적으로 세포생존율이 증가하고, 과산화물 생성량이 감소하여 세포손상을 보호하는 효과가 관찰되었다. 가압볶음 무말랭이 열수 추출물의 산화손상에 대한 보호 효과는 무말랭이 열수추출물에 비해 모든 유리기에서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 이러한 무말랭이 열수추출물의 항산화효과는 무에 함유되어 있는 함황 물질, 유리아미노산, 배당체 등에 의한 것으로 생각되며 가압볶음 무말랭이 열수 추출물의 효과가 더 높은 이유는 무말랭이에 함유된 유효성분이가압볶음에 의해 증가되고 더불어 볶음과정 중에서 생성된 maillard 생성물의 항산화성 때문으로 생각된다. 무말랭이의 환원당 및 유리아미노산 함량은 볶음 후 유의적으로 감소하였으며(p<0.05), 이에 반해 maillard 생성물의 중간산물인 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural(5-HMF) 함량은 무말랭이 열수 추출물에서는 검출되지 않았던 것이 가압볶음 무말랭이 열수 추출물에서는 0.57 mg/g이 측정되었다. 본 연구 결과가압볶음 무말랭이 차의 섭취는 체내 유리기에 의한 산화적손상을 보호하는 효과가 높은 것으로 사료된다.

Ethylene was polymerized with a catalyst having sterically hindered pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand, $Cp^{\ast}_{2}ZrCl_{2}/MAO$, and the polymerization mixture were treated with dry oxygen (oxidative workup) to produce hydroxyl-terminated polyethylenes (PE-OH). Polyethylene-block-Poly (${\Box}-caprolactone$) was synthesized from PE-OH and ${\cdot}\^{A}-caprolactone$A by using stannous octoate as a catalyst for ring opening polymerization of ${\cdot}\^{A}-caprolactone$. Polyethylene-block-Poly(methyl methacrylate) was obtained by transforming the hydroxyl-terminated polyethylenes to macroinitiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and by reacting them with MMA.

Lipid peroxidation is a free radical oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid or arachidonic acid. This process has been related with various pathologies and disease status mainly because of the oxidation products formed during the process. The oxidation products include reactive aldehydes such as malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal. These reactive aldehydes can form adducts with DNAs and proteins, leading to the alterations in their functions to cause various diseases. This review will provide a short summary on the implication of lipid peroxidation on cancer, atherosclerosis, and neurodegeneration as well as chemical and biochemical mechanisms by which these adducts affect the pathological conditions. In addition, select examples will be presented where antioxidants were used to counteract oxidative damage caused by lipid peroxidation. At the end, isoprostanes are discussed as a gold standard for the assessment of oxidative damages.
