Effects of irradiation on color removal, tyrosinase inhibition, xanthine oxidase inhibition and nitrite scavenging capacity of Lonicera japonica extracts were evaluated. Lonicera japonica extracts were irradiated at 10, 20, and 30 kGy. Hunter color $L^{*}$- and $a^{*}$-values increased but $b^{*}$-values decreased dose-dependently following irradiation. The extracts were potent inhibitors of tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase. Tyrosinase inhibition was higher in the irradiated sample than non-irradiated, and subsequently increased with increasing irradiation doses. The extracts had a higher inhibitory effect against xanthine oxidase, and the effect was not changed by irradiation. Nitrite scavenging capacity was the highest in the extract at pH 1.2, and was not significantly affected by irradiation. These results indicate that gamma irradiation may not influence the biological activities of Lonicera japonica extracts when irradiated up to 30 kGy. Furthermore, color of the extracts can be improved to have improved applicability for the food and cosmetic industries without any adverse change in biological functions.ons.s.

Mast cells play an important role in inflammation by functioning as a source of histamine, tryptase, and proinflammatory cytokines. Lonicera Japonica (Caprifoliaceae. Lc) has been used to treat inflammation. We investigated whether the water extract of Lonicera Japonica(Lc) inhibit production of inflammatory mediators such as tryptase and tumor-necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, and phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK) in trypsin-stimulated HMC-1.

A simple green method was developed for rapid synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles (AgNPs and AuNPs) has been reported using Lonicera japonica flower extract as a reducing and a capping agent. AgNPs and AuNPs were carried out at $70^{\circ}C$. The successful formation of AgNPs and AuNPs have been confirmed by UV-Vis spectro photometer, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). To our knowledge, this is the first report where Lonicera japonica flower was found to be a suitable plant source for the green synthesis of AgNPs and AuNPs.

Objectives This study is carried out to investigate the effects of Lonicera japonica in wound-induced rats. Methods Rats were divided into 5 groups; normal (Nor), control (Veh), positive comparison (PC), Lonicera japonica 100 mg/kg (LL), Lonicera japonica 200 mg/kg (LH), each n=8. Total polyphenol and flavonoid were quantified. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3 ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radical scavenging activation were measured. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured in serum. Antioxidant factors and inflammatory factors were measured in skin tissue, and also hydroxyproline content. Skin tissue was analyzed by Hematoxylin & Eosin and Masson's trichrome staining method. Results Total polyphenol and flavonoid were 32.86±0.14 mg/g and 67.17±0.57 mg/g. The IC₅₀ values of DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activation were 26.69±1.50 ㎍/mL and 49.33±4.52 ㎍/mL. ROS was significantly lower in LL and LH groups. Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was significantly higher in LH group and higher in LL group but not significant. Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD-1), catalase, and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) were significantly higher in LL and LH groups. Nuclear factor kappa-B p65 (NF-κBp65), phosphorylated iκBα (p-iκBα), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were significantly lower in LL and LH groups. Hydroxyproline was significantly higher in LL and LH groups. The histopathologic analysis showed that skin tissue had recovered further more in LL and LH groups than in Veh group. Conclusions These results suggest that Lonicera japonica has the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and healing effects in wound-induced rats.

최근에 합성 항산화제를 대체할 천연물에서 새로운 항산화 물질을 찾는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 천연물 중에 Lonicera japonica Thumb은 항균, 항염증, 항바이러스, 해독작용, 혈중 지질 감소, 해열작용 등 약리적인 효능뿐 아니라 다양한 항산화 물질을 포함하고 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 본 연구는 금은화 열수, 알코올 추출물을 기질로 전통발효식품에서 분리한 Lactobacillus plantarum NHP1 균주로 발효과정을 진행한 후 항산화 물질 및 래디컬 소거능이 변화하는지를 관찰하기 위해 진행되었다. 전통 발효식품으로부터 발효를 위한 균주를 분리한 후 16S rDNA 염기서열을 비교하여 동정한 결과 Lactobacillus plantarum NHP1로 명명하였다. 발효를 위한 기질인 Lonicera japonica Thumb는 열수 및 70% ethanol을 이용하여 추출하였다. 열수 및 ethanol 추출물의 발효는 2 L 발효기에 1.2 L 추출물을 함유한 배지를 공급하고, $30^{\circ}C$ 및 100 rpm의 조건으로 48 시간 수행하였다. 발효 전 후의 총 페놀, 총 플라보노이드, DPPH 소거능 및 ABTS 변화를 측정한 결과, 발효 전 총 페놀양은 열수 추출물과 ethanol 추출물에서 $56.5{\pm}4.9$ GAE mg/g, $72.7{\pm}5.3$ GAE mg/g이었고, 발효 후 각각 30.2%, 12.9% 증가되었다. 총 플라보노이드 함량은 모든 용매에서 발효 후에 유의적으로 약 75% 이상 증가되었다. 발효 후 총 페놀 함량과 플라보노이드 함량이 증가한 것에 비해 DPPH 소거능은 비례적으로 증가되지 않았으나, ABTS 항산화능은 발효에 의해 50% 증가되었다. 그동안 선행 연구에서 금은화의용매 추출물에 대한 기능성연구를 진행한 것이 대부분인 것에 비해, 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 금은화 추출물에 발효기술을 접목한다면 항산화 기능 및 다른 기능성이 대폭 증가되어 기능성 건강식품 및 미용식품의 소재로의 사용이 활성화 될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

The flowers of Lonicera japonica Thunb. (Caprifoliaceae) have been used as a traditional effective drug in treating bacillary dysentery, purulence. However, the exact role of Lonicera japonica in allergic reaction has not been clarified yet. Immediate hypersensitivity, popularly known as allergy, is a major clinical problem in humans. It has been found that the histamine release from mast cells is an essential step in the pathological process of immediate hypersensitivity. In this study, the effect of aqueous extract of Lonicera japonica (AELJ) on allergic reaction was investigated. AELJ inhibited the compound 48／80-induced anaphylactic reactions and antigen-induced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). AELJ in vitro exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of degranulation in RPMC stimulated by compound 48／80. AELJ also suppressed the morphological changes and the increase of intracellular free calcium level induced by compound 48／80. These results suggest that inhibitory effect of AELJ on allergic reaction may be mediated through the decrease of intracellular free calcium levels, and AELJ importantly contributes to the treatment of anaphylaxis and may be useful for other allergic disease.

We previously reported that lonicerin isolated from Lonicera japonica methanolic extract had potent neuro-protective activities in neuronal cell death injured by excessive glutamate. In this study, we tried to confirm the neuroprotective activities of L. japonica extract and lonicerin in glutamate injured HT22 cells and establish mechanisms of neuroprotective action of lonicerin. We used HT22 cell death injured by glutamate as a bioassay system. The compound decreased reactive oxygen species increased by excessive glutamate treatment in HT22 cells. Also, Ca2+ concentration was decreased by lonicerin treatment. This compound made mitochondrial membrane potential maintain to normal condition. Lonicerin also increased not only glutathione reductase but also peroxidase to the control level. And this compound increased amount of glutathione, an endogenous antioxidant. These results indicated that lonicerin isolated from L. japonica showed potent neuroprotective activity through the anti-oxidative pathway.

We previously reported that caffeic acid isolated from Lonicera japonica showed potent neuroprotective activities against glutamate injured neuronal cell death in primary cortical cells. In this study, we tried to confirm the neuroprotective activity in glutamate injured HT22 cells and elucidate mechanisms of neuroprotective action of caffeic acid. We used glutamate induced HT22 cell death as a bioassay system. The compound decreased reactive oxygen species increased by high concentration of glutamate treatment in HT22 cells. Also, Ca²⁺ concentration was decreased by this compound. This compound made mitochondrial membrane potential maintain to normal condition. This also affected anti-oxidative enzymes and glutathione contents. Treatment of this compound increased not only glutathione reductase and peroxidase to the control level and also amount of glutathione, an endogeneous antioxidant. These experimental results showed that caffeic acid isolated from L. japonica exerted potent neuroprotective activity through the anti-oxidative pathway.
