Hydrocotyle is a genus of prostrate, perennial aquatic or semi-aquatic plants formerly classified in the family Apiaceae, now in the family Araliaceae. Lipoxygenases (LOX) are present in the human body and play an important role in the stimulation of inflammatory reactions. Ethanolic extracts of five Hydrocotyle species (H. ramiflora, H. maritima, H. nepalensis, H. sibthorpioides, and H. yabei) showed inhibition of 23.5~50.6% at 2.0 mg/mL. Their extracts showed LOX inhibition in half maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) range 15.1~15.7 ㎍/mL. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a major component of the extracellular matrix Five extracts of these species inhibited less than 23.0% of Hyaluronidase (HAase) activity at a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a form of xanthine oxidoreductase, a type of enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species. Five Hydrocotyle species were found to have inhibitory activity of XO at 2.0 mg/ml, with 65% having greater than 50% inhibition. H. ramiflora exhibited the highest activity with an inhibition of 80.0%. The results suggested that Lipoxygenases, Hyaluronidase, and Busan 47340, Republic of Korea from five Hydrocotyle species might be multifunctional and prevent the degradation of allergic reactions and inflammation.

Certain flavonoids possess anti-inflammatory activity. Besides their antioxidative property, the cellular action mechanisms of flavonoids include an inhibition of arachidonate metabolizing enzymes such as cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases, and a down-regulation of proinflammatory gene expression such as cyclooxygenase-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase and tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$. In this review, the recent findings of anti-inflammatory flavonoid research since 2004 were summarized. And the cellular mechanisms on signal transduction pathways were also discussed.

Embryonic prostaglandin H synthases (PHSs) and lipoxygenases bioactivate xenobiotics (phenytoin, thalidomide, benzo[a]pyrene) to free radical intermediates that initiate reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, which oxidatively damage cellular macromolecules and/or alter signal transduction.(omitted)

Arachidonic acid (AA), which is stored in membrane glycerophospholipids, is liberated by phospholipase $A_2$ (PLA$_2$) enzymes and is sequentially converted to cyclooxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOXs) then to various bioactive PGs, and LTs. In order to find the specific inhibitors of AA metabolism especially PLA$_2$, COX-2, 5-LO and lyso PAF acetyltransferase, 120 Korean residential plants extracts were evaluated for their inhibitory activity on PGD$_2$, LTC$_4$ production from cytokine-induced mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) and arachidonic acid released from phospholipid and PAF production from lyso PAF. From this screening procedure, methanol extract of ten indigenous plant such as Salix gracilistyla, Sedum kamtschaticum, Cirsium chanroenicum, Hypericum ascyron, Astilbe chinensis, Agrimonia pilosa, Aristolochia manshuriensis, Vodia daniellii, Pyrola japonica, Styrax obassia were found to inhibit production of inflammatory mediators in vitro assay system.

Recently. we have reported that several lipoxygenases products directly activate the capsaicin-activated channel as intracellular messengers in neuron. In particular, 12-(S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid turned out to be the most potent endogenous VR activator. This finding prompted us to search for a novel non-vaniloid VR agonists and antagonists. We have designed and synthesized a series of non-vanilloid VR binding ligands based on the structural simllarity between 12-HPETE and capsaicin, the natural VR agonist. Our recent studies on the development of selective vanilloid receptor agonists and antagonists will be presented.

Flavonoids from plant origin show anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. In addition to inhibition of inflammation-associated enzymes such as cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases, they have been found to regulate the expression of inflammation-associated proteins from in vitro experiments. In order to prove in vivo behavior and the potential for beneficial use against inflammatory skin disorders, the effect of wogonin (5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone) on in vivo expression of several inflammation-associated genes was examined in the intact as well as in the inflamed mouse skin by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis.

피막이(Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam.)는 산형과(Araliaceae)의 여러해살이 초본이다. 생약명은 천호유, 예초, 계장초, 변지금으로 한방에서 사용하고 있다. 이 식물의 잎과 줄기로부터 열수 추출물을 이용하여 항산화, 환원력, 리폭시게나아제(lipoxygenase) 저해활성을 조사하였다. 하이드록시 라디칼(-OH)은 거대분자, 탄수화물, 핵산, 지질, 단백질에 유해한 작용을 나타내는데 피막이의 잎 추출물은 8.0 mg/ml 농도일 때 78.6%의 저해활성을 나타내었다. 1, 1- diphenyl 2-picrylhyorazyl (DPPH)은 인체 내 항산화에 잘 알려진 라디칼로 피막이풀의 하이드록시 라디칼 활성 저해는 8.0 mg/ml농도일 때 86.0%였다. 다중불포화지방산 대사 효소에 관여하는 Lipoxygenases (LOXs)의 활성 저해는 8.0 mg/ml농도일 때 55.5%였다. 50%저해를 나타내는 농도(IC₅₀)를 산출할 때 OH 활성, DPPH 활성, LOX 저해에 대해 각각 5.23 mg/ml, 6.44 mg/ml, 3.71 mg/ml이였다. 피막이 잎과 줄기 추출물은 강한 환원력을 나타내었다. 이런 피막이의 항산화 및 환원력 활성, LOX의 높은 저해율, 강환 환원력은 약리학적 소재로 좋은 후보가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Small seed size is one of the major traits of soybean cultivars for sprouts with regard to high sprout yield. This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for seed size and weight in a set of F 6 seeds of 89 lines derived from a cross between 'Pureunkong', a soybean cultivar developed for sprouts and 'Jinpumkong 2', a soybean cultivar with no beany taste in seed due to the lack of lipoxygenases. The genetic map of 25 linkage groups with a total of 98 markers including RFLP, RAPD, SSR and classical markers was constructed from this F/sbu 5/-derived population and was used for QTL analysis. 'Pureunkong' was significantly smaller (P＜0.01) than 'Jinpumkong 2' in seed size and seed weight. Genetic variation was detected and transgressive segregation was common in the population for these traits. Seven DNA markers including opT14-1600 in LG A2, opF02-400 in LG B2, Satt100, opC09-700, opG04-730 and opQll-650 in LG C2, and opY07-1100 ＆ 1000 in LG(unknown) were significantly associated and accounted for 4.7 to 10.9% and 5.1 to 10.1 % of the phenotypic variation in seed size and seed weight, respectively. 'Pureunkong' alleles increased seed size and seed weight at the all four significant marker loci on the LG C2. These marker loci in LG C2 were closely linked and were presumed to be a single QTL. Overall, at least three independent QTLs from 3 linkage groups (A2, B2, and C2) were putatively involved in the control of seed size and seed weight.

황산암모늄분획 침전, 이온교환컬럼 크로마토그래프를 이용하여 감자로부터 2개의 Lipoxygenase isozyme(F-I 및 F-II)을 분리정제하고 각각의 isozyme에 대하여 열불활성화 실험을 행하였다. 분리된 isozyme은 polyacrylamide gel 전기 영동상에서 단일밴드를 보였으며 두 isozyme의 최적 pH는 $5.5{\sim}6.0$으로 비슷하였다. 열불활성화 온동 범위인 $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$에서 F-I 및 F-II의 $D_{65}$값은 각각 13.3min 및 4.3min이었으며 Z 값은 $11.8^{\circ}C$ 및 $10.3^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 또한 각 isozyme의 열역학적인 상수를 절대반응속도식에 따라 구하였다.
