To evaluate the availability of Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau as a natural source of antimicrobials, the antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts of harvested parts was investigated using the paper disc diffusion method. The extracts from leaves and root bark had broad antimicrobial activity against various bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuis, Vibrio vulnificus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and inhibited Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes, agents of food poisoning especially well. The extract from ripe fruit had a very high antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a 20.2 mm of clear zone at 50 mg/mL sample concentration. These results indicated that Cudrania tricuspidata could be used as new source for developing natural antimicrobial agents.

The medicinal plants used traditional medicines are classified into two groups. The first group is formulary medicine which have been recorded on authorized books, for example, kampo drug in Japan. The second group is the fork medicines. These medicinal plants production is 165 billion yen(about 1.5 billion dollar) and which rate to to total pharmaceutical production is about 3% in 1990. The number of important medicinal plants treated in the market is 124 herbs from the total 364 herbs for kampo durgs(210 preparations kampo durgs) and other propritetary drugs (agents for common cold, laxatives, gastrointestional and so on). The production of the Ginseng and Bupleurum Root are increased about ten times in last twelve years(1976 or 1988). The 80% of these medicinal plants are imported from China, Korea and Southern Asian countries. Then the Pharmaceutical Affairs Bureau of Ministry of Health and Welfare published "The Guideline of Medicinal Plant for Cultivation" for a quality control and a stabilization supply of 80 herbs. The first part(1992) of the guideline reported 5 herbs; Coptis Rhizome, Rehmannia Root, Bupleur, Root, Japanese Angelica Root and Rhubarb, The next part will be published following 5herbs; Cnidium Rhizome, Safflower, Coix seed and Fruiet, Platicodon Root and Zedoary.

국내자생 쑥속의 식물을 약용작물 및 산업화에 활용하기 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 수집된 쑥속 식물들은 사철쑥 (A. capillaris)을 포함한 20종 1아종 2변종 24분류군으로 분류 되었으며, 이를 바탕으로 25개의 화기형질을 이용하여 주성분 분석과 군집분석을 수행하였다. 주성분 분석결과 제1주성분은 전체 분산의 44.73%, 제2주성분은 16.86%, 제 3주성분은 8.88%, 제4주성분은 7.07%의 기여율을 보였으며, 상위 제4주성분까지의 누적 기여율이 77.56%였다. 군집분석 결과, 자방의 퇴화, 아관목, 두화의 크기 등의 주요형질에 의해 크게 3개의 군으로 구분되어졌으며, 화기구조의 식별형질로는 기발표된 Dracunculus, Abrotanum, Absinthium 3절과 완전히 일치하지는 않았으나 국내 자생쑥의 분류형질로 활용이 가능하였다.

Decamer RAPD primers were tested on dioeceious and hermaphrodite plants of Commiphora wightii to identify sex-specific molecular markers. Sixty different random decamer primers were screened out of which only three primers were found to be associated with sex expression. A ~1,280-bp fragment from the primer OPN06 was found to be present in all the female individuals. Another primer OPN 16 produced a unique ~400-bp amplification product in only hermaphrodite individuals. The third marker, OPA20 amplified a ~1,140-bp fragment from female and hermaphrodite DNAs, but failed to do so from the male plant DNAs.

한국에 분포하고 있는 82종의 약용식물에 대하여 환경내성 및 기능성 소재의 개발을 위한 탐색을 위하여 항산화효소와 관련된 첫 번째 방어기작인 SOD 효소활성과 Phenol 화합물의 함량정도를 검정하여 본 결과 SOD 효소활성은 원지 (P. tenuifolia Willd.), 백편두 (D. lablab L.), 백개자 (S. alba L.), 대황 (R. palmatum L.), 감초 (G. uralensis Fisch), 연자육 (N. nucifera Gaertn), 지황 [R. glutinosa (Gaertner) Liboshitz], 현삼 (S. buergeriana Miq.), 인진 (A. capillaris Thb.)등에서 다른 약용작물보다 비교적 높은 SOD 효소 활성 능력을 나타냈다. Total phenol함량은 $(3{\sim}249.731\;{\mu}g/g)$의 범위를 보였으며 지유(S. officinalis L.), 대황 (R. palmatum L.), 복분자 (R. chingii Hu)에서 각각 $249.731\;{\mu}g/g,\;209.546\;{\mu}g/g,\;170.333\;{\mu}g/g$으로 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 16종의 phenol 화합물의 경우에서는 82종의 약용식물이 각기 매우 상이한 농도의 분포를 나타내었다. 앞으로의 연구에서는, 항산화 효소 및 phenol 화합물이 많이 함유하여 우수한 기능성을 가지고 있는 것을 확인된 약용식물에 대해 그들의 이용성을 증대시킬 수 있는 구체적인 연구가 수행되어져야 할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 phenol성 물질을 많이 함유하는 약용식물 추출물을 이용한 기능성 식품, 화장품, 천연 보존재 및 의약품 등으로 개발 (Cook & Samman, 1996)할 수 있을 것으로 판단되어진다.

This study examined variation in Cd and Pb uptake among different medi cinal plants grown under the same soil environment together with immobilizing effect of lime to decrease these metals accumulation by the medicinal plants. For this, lime was incorporated into a heavy metal-contaminated soil at 1% followed by cultivation of seven different annual and 5 different biennial medicinal plants. In order for comparison, control soil without lime treatment was included and all the pot trials were carried out four replicates. Cadmium and Pb concentrations in medicinal plant roots grown in the control soil varied between 0.5 and $2.8mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Cd and 3.2 and $82.4mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Pb. The highest accumulation occurred in C. officinale and the lowest in D. batatas. Lime application decreased average Cd and Pb concentrations in the examined medicinal plants from $1.3mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $25.7mg\;kg^{-1}$ to $0.6mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $11.9mg\;kg^{-1}$, respectively in comparison with those grown in the control soil.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of medicinal plants application as an edible functional food resources. We carried out to develop a traditional functional beverage by using hot-water extraction of 4 medicinal plants(Polygonatun sibiricum, Ophiopogonis radix, Lycii fructus, Schizandriae fructus) and we examined the effects of drink on physiological function in aorta relaxation. Thus, the effect of developed beverage on phenylephrine induced contraction of isolated rat thoracic aorta. Contractile force was measured with force displacement transducer under 1.5g loading tension. Brix, pH and titratable acidity of developed drink were 9.5%, 3.3 and 0.22%. The approximate nutritional composition of beverage was carbohydrate, 5.98%, crude protein, 0.70%, crude fat, 0.20% and crude ash, 0.20%. Developed beverage contained K(4.00 ㎎%), Na(3.68 ㎎%), Ca(2.54 ㎎%), Mg(1.60 ㎎%) and Fe(0.29㎎%). The contraction forces by injection of phenylephrine in isolated thoracic aorta were significantly low in each experimental groups compared with control groups, These results that developed drink with medicinal plants can be used as a functional material to decrease aorta contraction.

The anti-inflammatory effect of the methanolic extracts of some medicinal plants was investigated on the hydrolysis of N-benzoylarginine-p-nitroanilide by trypsin in vitro, the writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid in mice, and the carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats. Among tested medicinal plants, the methanoilc extract of Angelica keiskei, Rosa rugosa and Cudrania tricuspidata showed significant inhibitory effect. And we also found that adenosine, isolated from A. keiskei was identified as one active components.
