This study was initiated to antioxidant activity of silybin on oxidation of human low density lipoproteins(LDL). Siltbin was extracted from Silybum marianum by the combination of fractionation and it was futher purified by silica gel column chromatography, and isolated active substances were identified silybin by IR, NMR and GC-MS. siltbin inhibited the ozidation of human low density lipoprotein(LDL) mediated by 5$^{\mu}$m CU $^{2+}$ ion in a dose dependent manner. LDL oxidation by congugated dines formation was completely inhibited by silybin at a concentration of 5$^{\mu}$M. The results provide a possibility that silybin might protect LDL against oxidation in atherosclerotic lessions.

홍화씨의 폴리페놀 성분들이 HMGR 활성, LDL-oxidation과 Hep3B 세포로부터의 Apo A1 분비능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 홍화씨 성분은 matairesinol(lignan), acacetin(flavone) 및 N-feruloylserotonin과 matairesinol의 대사산물인 enterolactone을 사용하였다. 그 결과, HMCR 저해활성은 mevastatin이 53%로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고 다음은 홍화씨 serotronin 유도체인 N-feruloylserotonin이 45%의 저해활성을 보여 홍화씨 폴리페놀 중에서는 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며 genistein은 35%의 활성을 보인 반면 나머지는 활성이 거의 미미하였다. N-feruloylserotonin의 활성은 용량 의존적 반응을 나타내었다. LDL 산화 억제효과는 사용한 모든 홍화씨 폴리페놀성분에서 나타났는데, 특히 N-feruloylserotonin에서 가장 강한 활성을 보였고 역시 용량 의존적 반응을 보였다. Hep3B에서의 Apo A1 분비능은 mevastatin에서 가장 높았고 enterolactone, genistein 및 ${\beta}-estradiol$에서 분비 증강활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과들로 미루어 볼 때, 홍화씨 폴리페놀 성분들은 콜레스테를 생합성과 LDL의 산화를 억제시킴으로서 지질대사 및 동맥경화 개선에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Low density lipoprotein (LDL)의 산화는 동맥경화의 유발과 진행에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 숙성 마늘 유래 유황화합물인 S-allylmercaptocysteine의 항산화 효과를 실험하였다. S-allylmercaptocysteine의 항산화 효과는 $Cu^{2+}$ 유도 LDL에 대하여 thiobarturic acid substance (TBARS)와 전기영동 이동거리, 공액 이중결합으로 측정하였다. 사람 LDL을 $Cu^{2+}$ 유도로 산화시킬 때 S-allylmercaptocysteine은 용량 의존형으로 나타났으며, 농도가 $20{\mu}g/ml$ 일 때 거의 완전한 억제 효과를 나타내었다. S-allylmercaptocysteine에 대한 전기영동 이동거리로 $20{\mu}g/ml$ 일 때 가장 낮았으며 공액 2중결합 형성도 $20{\mu}g/ml$ 일 때 거의 억제되었다. 한편 S-allylmercaptocysteine을 항산화제인 $d{\ell}-{\alpha}$-tocopherol과 LDL에 대한 항산화력을 비교한 결과 같은 농도에서 S-allylmercaptocysteine이 약간 높았다. 따라서 S-allylmercaptocysteine이 동맥경화의 발병과 진행을 예방하는 역할을 할 것으로 생각된다.

A crucial and causative role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is believed to be the oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL). The oxidation of LDL involves released free radical driven lipid peroxidation. Several lines of evidence support the role of oxidized LDL in atherogenesis. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated an association between an increased intake of dietary antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E and vitamin C and reduced morbidity and mortality from coronary artery diseases. It is thus hypothesized that dietary antioxidants may help prevent the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The oxidation of LDL has been shown to be reduced by antioxidants, and, in animal models, improved antioxidants may offer possibilities for the prevention of atherosclerosis. The results of several on going long randomized intervention trials will provide valuahle information on the efficacy and safety of improved antioxidants in the prevention of atherosclerosis. This review a evaluates current literature involving antioxidants and vascular disease, with a particular focus on the potential mechanisms.

The antioxidative effects of solvent fractions of kimchi on LDL oxidatiojn in vitro as well as hypolipidemic effects of these fractions in rabbit fed atherogenic diet were studied. Methanol extract of deffated kimchi was fractionated sequentially with dichloromethane, ethylacetate, butanol and water. All solvent fractions of kimchi inhibited Cu2+-induced LDL oxidation. Among these fractions, the dicholoromethane fraction at the concentration of 25$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL showed the highest antioxidant effects against LDL oxidation in the aspect of inhibiting TBARS production by 28.03% or prolonged lag phase duration 2-fold compared to those of control. Based on the results from in vitro study, New Zealand White Rabbits grouped six each were fed for 8 weeks either basal diet containing 1% cholesterol or experimental diet containing dichloromethane, ethylacetate or water fraciton added to the basal diet. The amount of solvent fraction of kimchi added to the experimental diet was equivalent to 5% of freeze-dried kimchi. The hypolipidemic effects was observed from all experimental gropus, especially from dichloromethane fraction added group. The plasma and LDL cholesterol levels of this group were decreased by 49% and 47%, respectively while that of HDL increased by 91% compared to those of control. The calculated atherogenic index for the dichloromethane group was the lowest among groups. However, TG lowering effect of experimental group was not observed since solbent fraction of kimchi was used instead of freeze-dried kimchi. The TBARS concentration of LDL isolated from rabbit fed dichloromethane fraction was decreased 21% than that of control. These results indicate that active principles responsible for inhibiting LDL oxidation and lowering plasma cholesterol may present abundantly in dichloromethane fraction of kimchi.

The oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein(LDL) has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Oxidized LDL(oxLDL) is captured into macrophage and stimulates to form macrophage foam cell. And it can induce an inflammation and smooth muscle proliferation in atherosclerotic plaque. Objective : In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of Bupleuri radix(SH) on the foam cell formation, a critical initiation stage of atherosclerosis. Methods : To achieve the goal, we examined the effect of SH on LDL oxidation, nitric oxide production in RAW264.7, and the effect of SH on cupuric sulfate-induced cytotoxicity, LDH release, and macrophage activity. Results : SH inhibited the formation of oxidized LDL from native LDL in RAW264.7 cell culture, and decreased the release of LDH from cupric sulfate-stimulated RAW264.7 cell. In other experiments, SH activated RAW264.7 cell, and prolonged the survival time, and inhibited foam cell formation induced by oxLDL in Raw 264.7 cells. Conclusion : These results showed that SH might prevent atherosclerosis by controlling the early stages of foam cell formation.

인체의 혈장 저밀도 지단백(LDL)은 관상동맥경화 발병의 주 요인이다. 그러나 최근의 연구들은, 정상적인 LDL은 산소 자류라디칼에 의해 쉽게 산화되며, 결과 LDL 수용채와 결합하지 못한다고 밝히고 있다. 따라서 이 변형된 형태의 산화된 LDL은 macrophage scavernger receptor에 의해 인식되어 foam cell을 형성하여, 동맥혈관이 좁아지는 역할을 수행한다고 알려지고 있다. 지리과 산화에는 지방산이 중요한 작용을 하므로, 한국인의 LDL의 지방산 조성을 분석하여 서양인과 비교하였다. 결과, 한국인의 불포화 지방산의 비율이 총 지방산 함량의 약 30%인 반면 서양인은 약 70%의 분포를 갖고 있는 것으로 발표되었다. 따라서 한국인이 서양인에 비해 LDL의 산화에 대한 영향을 적게 받을 수 있으며, 따라서 동맥경화나 심장병의 발생률이 훨씬 적을 것으로 결론을 내릴 있다. 정상적인 LDL을 황산구리와 함께 배양하여, 지방의 산화를 유도하였으며 이의 정도를 지방산 산화의 생성물인 TBARS를 측정하여, LDL이 산화될 때 생성되는 자유라디칼의 양을 측정하므로서 비교하였다. 이 때, 항상화제인 비타민 C; 비타민 E와 히알우로닉산을 첨가하면 LDL의 산화가 억제되는 효과를 확인하였다. 자유 라디탈이 증가함에 따라 산화의 정도도 증가하였으며, 자유라디칼 형성의 경시적 변화는 TBARS와 유사하였다. 따라서 luminometer에 의한 자유라디칼의 정량은 TBARS에 의한 것보다 훨씬 간편한 것으로 나타났다.

This study was designed to analyze the effects of methanol extracts and solvent fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica on scavenging activity of ROS, RNS and inhibiting activity of oxidative modification in human LDL induced by copper ion or free radical generator. The scavenging capacities of the fractions on DPPH radical, superoxide radical, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite were exhibited the highest in ethylacetate fraction, followed by butanol fraction. In the copper-induced LDL oxidative modification system, the highest antioxidant activity was revealed in ethylacetate fraction, and butanol fraction exhibited a similar activity. However, solvent fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica showed a relatively low antioxidant activity in the AAPH-mediated LDL oxidation. In addition, ethylacetate and butanol fractions also inhibited the copper-mediated LDL oxidation in the REM assay, which was comparable to that of the positive controls, including EDTA, ascorbic acid and BHT. Futhermore, a content of total phenolics in these two fractions was higher than that of the other fractions. These results indicated that ethylacetate and butanol fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica were useful for the prevention of the free radical- or metal ion-induced oxidative damages.

Chlorogenic acid, formed of an ester of caffeic acid and quinic acid, which is naturally abundant in many plant species, was used as a model O-dihydoxy phenolic compound. In the previous study, we have reported that the isolated constituent from Apocynum venetum leaves has an inhibitory effect on $Cu^{2+}$-induced oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Among them, chlorogenic acid showed the most potent anti-LDL oxidative activity than other compounds. For the reason, we investigated the inhibitory effect of the chlorogenic acid on $Cu^{2+}$-induced oxidative modification of LDL, monitored a lag time in the conjugated-diene formation and TBARS formation, and measured TNBS free amino acid group, and form cell formation in vitro system. The TBARS- and diene- formation were strongly inhibited by chlorogenic acid ($0{\sim}100\;{\mu}g/ml$) with dose dependent manner. On the other hand, TNBS reactive lysine amino groups on LDL oxidation were protected by chlorogenic acid- treated cell group. Therefore, chlorogenic acid inhibited to cholesterol accumulation in the isolated peritoneal macrophage.

본 연구의 목적은 홍미삼의 기능성 연구의 일환으로 총 페놀성 화합물의 추출방법과 DPPH에 대한 수소공여능, linoleic acid의 산화방지활성 및 LDL에 의한 항산화활성 등을 중심으로 연구한 결과이다. 홍미삼에 60% 에탄올를 첨가하여 추출회수별 총 페놀성 화합물을 조사한 결과 3회까지 추출했을 때 대부분이 추출되었기 때문에 추출횟수는 3회가 적당한 것으로 판단되었다. 60% 에탄올 추출액의 수율은 3회까지 추출했을 때 약 37.35%가 추출되었다. 추출 용매에 따른 총 페놀성 화합물의 추출 효율은 물 추출구를 100%로 했을 때, 60% 에탄올 용액으로 추출한 뒤 농축하여 물로 부피를 재조정한 시험구는 122%로 조사되었다. 항산화활성 조사에서 DPPH에 대한 수소공여능에서 시간이 경과함에 따라 항산화 활성이 약간씩 증가하나 활성은 약한 편이었다. Linoliec acid 산화에 대한 산화억제 효과는 1,500 ppm 농도에서 약 72.23%의 저해율을 나타났으며, LDL에 대한 산화방지 효과는 250 ppm 농도에서 그 저해율이 약 22.52%로 나타났다.
