Phytochemical investigation of the aqueous extract of ~he roots of Agrimania pilosa Ledeb. (Rosaceae), as guided by hepatoprotective activity in vitro, furnished two isocoumarins, agri-monolide (1) and agrimonolide 6-O-$\beta$-D-glucoside (3), and (＋)-catechin (2). Compound 1 showed hepatoprotective effects on both tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in human liver-derived Hep G2 cells and tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced cytotoxicity in rat primary hepatocytes with EC$_{50}$ values of 88.2$\pm$2.8 and 37.7$\pm$1.6 $\mu$M, respectively.y.

In order to determine the structure-activity relationships for antioxidative effects of gagaminine, a steroidal alkaloid isolated from the roots of Cynanchum wilfordi (Asclepiadaceae), two derivatives identified as sarcostin and penupogenin were prepared from gagaminine by hydrolysis and reduction. These compounds were evaluated for the inhibitory effects on the aidehyde oxidase activity and on lipid perbxidation in vitro. Furthermore, their effects were compared with those of gagaminine and the related compounds, cinnamic acid and nicotinic acid. The results of this study prove that the cinnamoyl group in the structure of gagaminine is critical in inhibition of the aldehyde oxidase activity while the nicotinoyl group may be necessary for anti-lipid peroxidation of the compound.

본 연구에서는 식물조직배양기법을 통해 생산된 부정근과 이들의 표준 한약자원 약용부위에서 추출된 전세포추출물의 FT-IR스펙트럼 분석을 통해 대사체 수준에서의 동등성을 비교 분석함으로써 보다 안전하고, 균일한 한약자원 약용부위의 대체 공급수단을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대표적인 한약자원 품목인 백수오(Cynanchum wilfordii), 백출(Atractylodes japonica), 하수오(Polygonum multiflorum), 그리고 황기(Astragalus membranaceus) 등 4 종류 약용식물의 표준 한약자원 약용부위와 기내에서 생산된 이들의 부정근들을 FT-IR 분석에 사용하였다. FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터의 PCA (principal component analysis)와 PLS-DA (partial least square discriminant analysis) 분석결과 백수오와 황기의 표준 약용부위 시료들 사이에서 전체 대사체 패턴이 매우 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 특히 이들 한약자원 품목들의 경우 기내생산 부정근 시료들과도 전체 대사체 패턴이 매우 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 본 결과로 미루어볼 때 백수와 황기의 경우 기내에서 대량생산된 부정근이 이들 한약자원 품목의 약용부위에 대한 새로운 공급수단으로 활용이 가능함을 보여주는 결과라 사료된다. 그러나 백출과 하수오의 부정근 시료들의 경우 전체 대사체 패턴이 이들의 표준 약용부위 시료들과 차이를 보였다. 또한 본 연구를 통하여 다양한 한약자원 품목들의 약용부위 시료들로부터 빠르고 간편하게 전체 대사체 수준에서 유사도 비교가 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 확립된 FT-IR 스펙트럼기반 다변량통계분석 기술은 다양한 한약자원 약용부위 시료들의 대사체 수준 동등성을 식별하는 수단으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 더 나아가 본 기술이 한약자원품목들의 성분 표준화에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Shoot proliferation was obtained from shoot tips and nodal explants of Vitex negundo L. on MS medium supplemented with either BAP or KIN (0.1-2.0 mg/L) alone or in combination with NAA (0.1 mg/L). The concentrations of cytokinins combined with NAA produced multiple shoots from shoot tips and nodal explants. The highest mean percentage (84.3$\pm$8.0) of shoot multiplication's were observed on nodal explants in the presence of BAP (1.5 mg/L) and NAA (0.1 mg/L) followed by shoot tips (65.0$\pm$5.0). The regenerated shootlets were rooted on MS basal medium IAA, IBA, NAA (0.1-1.5 mg/L). The maximum number of roots (51.0$\pm$2.6) was achieved on the medium containing IBA (1.0 mg/L) followed by other auxins (NAA, IAA). The regenerated plants were successfully transferred to a mixture of vermiculate and soil. About 95% of the plantlets survived when transferred to the field.

We established hairy root cultures of F. esculentum transformed with A. rhizogenes for in vitro rutin production. Additionally, we describe the effects of different media and plant growth regulators on growth and rutin biosynthesis in buckwheat hairy root cultures. Excised leaves of P. tinctorium from 10-day-old seedlings were used as the explant material for co-cultivation with A. rhizogenes 15834. The hairy culture of Fagopyrum esculentum Moench. was established by infecting leaf explants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes 15834. About four to five weeks after co-cultivation with A. rhizogenes, 10 hairy roots were excised from the necrotic explant tissues. After repeated transfer to fresh medium for three months, ten clones were transferred to MS liquid culture medium. The growth and rutin production of each clone differently response to the MS liquid medium. Among these clones, H8, which had exhibited good growth rate and one of the highest rutin productivity, was selected for the following experimment.(중략)

Callus cultures from leaf explants of Gypsophila paniculata L. cv. 'Bristol Fairy' have been tested their growth and morphogenic capacity on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0.l, 0.5, 1 and 3 mg/L 2,4-D. The frequency of callus formation ranged from 43.3% to 100%. The optimal 2,4-D concentration for promoting callus formation and growth was 0.5 to 3 ㎎/L. 4.2∼ 5.6% of adventitious roots were obtained with the use of 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D. Calli grown well on 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D was the heaviest among the calli grown in various concentrations.

The antioxidant activity of hot water extracts of various parts, the leaf, stem, and root of Synurus deltoides was evaluated by various antioxidant assays, including total phenolic content, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, hydroxyl radical (${\cdot}OH$) scavenging, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and xanthine oxidase (XOI) activities. The various antioxidant activities were compared with the standard antioxidants such as L-ascorbic acid, $\alpha$-tocopherol, and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). Among the different plant parts, stem has been found to possess the highest activity in all tested model systems, the activity decreased in the order stems>roots>leaves. These results indicate that stem extract could be used as potential source of natural antioxidant.

Effect of ginsenoside mixture, ginsenoside $Rb_1$,$Rb_2$,$Rg_1$ and the fat soluble fraction of the roots of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer on the activity of glucokinase (GK) in vitro has been observed and found that GK activity was increased about 15c1c at the concentration of ginsenoside mixture and/or the fat soluble fraction being $10^{-7}$,$10^{-5}$%. It was also observed that glucose uptake by rat liver was increased in the presence of either ginsenoside mixture or the fat soluble fraction by perfusion technique. Ginsenoside mixture stimulated various enzymes related to glucose metabolism, however, both ginsenoside mixture and the fat soluble fraction did not stimulate GK activity as expected. Primary culture of liver cells showed that the ginsenoside mixture and the fat soluble fraction increased GK activity significantly and they stimulated the GK activity synergistically in the co-presence of insulin.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to experiment the antitumor activity of Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) in human stomach cancer (AGS) cell lines (in vitro) and male C57BL/6J mouse (in vivo). Methods : The effects of the ethanol extract from the plant on several transplantable rodent tumors were investigated in vitro by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxy phenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt (MTS) assay. DNA content analysis and Western blot analysis. Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) was given to rats with Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) cells. The experimental rats were divided into 3 groups in vivo. Saline was injected into the abdominal cavity in the first group, 50 mg/kg APL was injected into the abdominal cavity in the second group and 100 mg/kg was injected into the abdominal cavity in the third group. After that, we checked their tumor volume periodically. Results : At first, human gastric cancer (AGS) cell lines (in vitro) showed decreased cell viability, and increased $sub-G_1$ contents. When we experimented rat intestinal epithelial (RIE)l as same condition, this result didn't show. With this, compared to normal cells, Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) led selectively to the extinction of cells only in human gastric cancer. Moreover, we showed that the traditional herbal medicine APL induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in AGS cells. Next, APL inhibited the growth of LLC-bearing mouse tumor. However, we could not verify APL induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in LLC-bearing mouse tumor. Conclusions : The roots of Agrimonia pilosa Ledebour (APL) contain some antitumor constituents.

본 연구는 모래밭버섯 균근균(菌根菌)(Pisolithus tinctorius)의 인공접종(人工接種)이 30년생(年生) 상수리나무와 소나무 조직배양묘(組織培養苗)의 줄기생장과 발근(發根)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 조사(調査)하여, 조직배양(組織培養)을 통한 영양증식(營養增殖)에 균근균(菌根菌)의 잠재적(潛在的) 이용가능성(利用可能性)을 파악(把握)하고자 수행(遂行)하였다. 상수리나무의 아배양(芽培養)은 겨울철에 휴면상태(休眠狀態)에 있는 30년생(年生) 개체목(個體木)에서 채취(採取)한 휴면지(休眠枝)의 동아(冬芽)를 이용(利用)하여 실시(實施)하였고, 소나무의 기내삽목(器內揷木)은 종자(種子)에서 발아(發芽)한 실생묘(實生苗)를 이용(利用)하였다. 전반적(全般的)으로 상수리나무와 소나무 모두 모래밭버섯 균근균(菌根菌)의 접종(接種)으로 부정근(不定根)의 수(數), 길이, 발근율(發根率), 생존율(生存率) 등이 향상(向上)되었다. 소나무는 생존율(生存率)이 100%로 처리간(處理間)에 차이(差異)를 보이지 않았지만, 상수리나무에서는 접종구(接種區)가 100%인 반면(反面), 비접종구(非接種區)는 75%로 나타났다. 발근율(發根率)에 있어서도 소나무 기내삽목(器內揷木)에서는 발근율(發根率)이 비접종구(非接種區)에서 63%에 그친 반면(反面)에, 접종구(接種區)는 100%로 나타났고, 상수리나무는 비접종구(非接種區)가 20%로 매우 낮은 데 비(比)하여 접종구(接種區)가 70%로 유의적(有意的)인 균근균(菌根菌) 접종효과(接種效果)가 나타났다. 따라서 기내(器內) 삽목(揷木)과 조직배양(組織培養)에 균근균(菌根菌)을 응용(應用)함으로서, 발근유도(發根誘導)와 뿌리 발달(發達) 및 줄기 생장(生長)을 촉진(促進)시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대(期待)된다.
