The methanol extract from the whole parts of the flowers of Chrysanthemum boreals was found to exhibit a significant inhibition of a rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) activity in vitro. Bioassay guided systematic fractionation of the methanol extract led to the isolation of four flavonoids which were identified as acacetin (1), apigenin (II), luteolin (III) and linarin (IV). Compounds I-III were demonstrated to exhibit a significant inhibition of RLAR. Luteolin (II) was found to be the most potent AR inhibitor with $IC_{50}$ value of $5{\times}10^{-7}M$.

Remarks on polyphenolic compounds has been arisen since past few years. the flavonoids appears to be the important groups of compounds with their capability to inhibit DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, to quench free radicals and, at least, anticarcinogenic and antiproliferative effects. On the other hand, their mechanism of action is still unexplained. Apigenin and luteolin are the most wide-spread flavones and they exhibited to be useful in chemoprevention. UV spectrometric and DC polarographic studies on these two compounds have been carried out with regard to changing pH. The most significant changes were observed at basic pH. These results could aid to elucidation of their mechanism of action as pH is one of the important factors for bioprocesses passing in living organisms.

The antioxidant activity of Artemisia montana was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and inhibitory activity against free radical generation of hepatocytes ($AC_2$F). The methanol extract of A. montana showed strong radical scavenging activity at a concentration of $10.1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, and thus fractionated by solvent extraction. Esculetin and luteolin 7-O-rutinoside (scolymoside) were isolated as the active principles from the EtOAc and interphase fractions, respectively. The antioxidant activity of these compounds were comparable to that of L-ascorbic acid.

전염증성 사이토카인의 분비를 조절하는 전사인자인 NF-${\kappa}B$는 염증성 장질환 환자의 대장 점막에서 발현이 증가되어 있다고 보고하고 있으며 이를 억제하여 대장의 염증을 억제하려는 연구가 진행 중이다. 루테올린은 다양한 한약제에 포함되어 있는 플라보노이드 중 하나로 항염증 및 항산화작용이 있다고 알려져 있으며 LPS 자극된 대식세포에서 TNF-${\alpha}$ 분비의 억제 뿐만 아니라 전사인자인 NF-kB의 발현을 억제하여 항염증작용을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 DSS을 이용한 염증성 장질환 모델에서 루테올린의 장염의 치료효과를 보고자 하였다. C57BL/6 NF-${\kappa}B^{EGFP}$ 쥐에게 2.5% DSS를 투여하여 장염을 유발하였으며 치료군(n=6)에서는 매일 루테올린(1 mg/kg, vol 0.1 ml)을 비위관을 통해 경구투여 하였으며, 비치료군(n=6)에서는 매일 같은 양의 vehicle(vol 0.1 ml)를 투여하여 정상대조군(n=6)과 비교하였다. 실험 기간 동안 질병활성도를 기록하였으며, 투약 6일 후 모든 쥐를 희생하여 대장을 분리하여 길이를 측정하고, 조직검사를 시행하였다. 또한 대장점막조직을 배양하여 m IL-12 p40의 분비를 측정하였고, 공초점 형광현미경하에서 EGFP 발현의 정도를 관찰하였다. 질병의 활성도의 관찰에서 치료군에서 2.7점, 비치료군에서 2.5점으로 양군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없어 루테올린에 대한 장염예방효과는 없었다. 또한 치료군과 비치료군에서 대장점막의 m IL-12 p40의 분비 각각 $535.2{\pm}198.2pg/ml$, $412.5{\pm}48.2pg/ml$ 로 양군 사이의 차이는 없었다. 흥미롭게도 EGFP 발현은 치료군에서 오히려 높게 나타났으며, 공초점 형광현미경관찰에서 대부분의 고유근층하 대식세포에서 증가되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 루테올린의 경구 투여는 DSS 유발 염증성 장질환 모델에서 대장 점막 염증을 억제하는 대체 요법으로써의 치료효과는 관찰할 수 없었으며, 향후 항염증작용이 있다고 알려져있는 플라보노이드 물질의 개발에 신중함이 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

선구 연구로부터 저자들은 쇠뜨기 추출물의 항산화 작용에 대한 결과를 이미 보고하였으며, 본 연구에서는 이들의 성분 분석과 elastase 저해활성에 관한 조사를 수행하였다. 쇠뜨기 추출물 중 ethylacetate 분획의 당 제거 반응 후 얻어진 aglycone 분획은 TLC 및 HPLC 실험에서 각각 4개의 띠와 피이크로 분리되었으며, 분리된 4가지 성분은 luteolin, quercetin, apigenin 및 kaempferol이었다. 그리고, 그들의 성분비는 각각 19.12%, 12.87%, 15.81%, 52.20%로 kaempferol의 함량이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 쇠뜨기 추출물의 ethylacetate 분획의 TLC 크로마토그램은 7개의 띠로 분리되었고, HPLC 크로마토그램은 8개의 피이크를 보여주었다. TLC와 HPLC의 띠와 피이크를 확인한 결과, HPLC의 8개의 피이크는 용리순서로 kaempferol-3,7-O-diglucoside(조성비, 15.74%), luteolin-5-O-glucoside(galuteolin, 11.91), apigenin-5-O-glucoside(12.91), kaempferol-3-O-glucoside(astragalin, 27.94), quercetin-glycoside (10.81, 구조 미확인), kaempferol-glycoside(12.33, 구조 미확인), luteolin(3.72) 및 apigenin(4.62)으로 확인되었다. Aglycone 분획은 elastase 저해활성($IC_{50}$)이 9.8 ${\mu}g/mL$로 매우 큰 활성을 나타내었다. 이에 비해 ethylacete 분획(플라보노이드 배당체)은 elastase 저해 활성이 거의 없었다. 이상의 결과들은 이미 보고된 쇠뜨기 추출물의 항산화 작용과 더불어 쇠뜨기 성분에 대한 분석과 ethylacetate 분획의 당 제거 실험 후 얻어진 aglycone 분획의 큰 elastase 저해활성으로부터 주름개선 기능성 화장품원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

The influenza neuraminidase (NA, E.C. 3.2.1.18), an antiviral, has been the target of high pharmaceutical companies due to its essential role in viral replication cycle. Perilla frutescens (P. frutescens) is used in traditional Chinese medicine for various diseases, such as cold due to wind-cold, headache and cough. In this context, four major polyphenolic compounds including rosmarinic acid-3-O-glucoside (1), rosmarinic acid (2), luteolin (3), and apigenin (4) isolated from P. frutescens were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on recombinant virus H1N1 neuraminidase (rvH1N1 NA). Among the test compounds, rosmarinic acid and luteolin inhibited the rvH1N1 NA with an $IC_{50}$ of 46.7 and $8.4{\mu}M$, respectively. The inhibition kinetics analyzed by the Dixon plots indicated that rosmarinic acid and luteolin were noncompetitive inhibitors and that the inhibition constant, $K_I$, was established as 43.9 and $14.3{\mu}M$, respectively. In addition, 578 genetically diverse accessions and 39 cultivars of P. frutescens were analyzed using HPLC to characterize the diversity of polyphenolic composition and concentration. The individual and total compositions exhibited significant difference (P < 0.05), especially rosmarinic acid which was detected as the predominant metabolite in all accessions (58.8%) and cultivars (62.8%). Yeupsil and Sangback cultivars exhibited the highest rosmarinic acid ($3,393.5{\mu}g/g$) and luteolin ($383.3{\mu}g/g$) content respectively. YCPL177-2 with the high concentration ($889.8{\mu}g/g$) of luteolin may be used as a genetic resource for breeding elite cultivars.

The antioxidant activity of Lactuca scariola (Compositae) was investigated by measuring the radical scavenging effect on DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical. The methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Lactuca scariola showed strong radical scavenging activity. The EtOAc soluble fraction exhibited a stronger activity than the others, and was purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin, quercetin and kaempferol, together with 11$\beta$,13-dihydrolactucin were isolated from the EtOAc soluble fraction as active ingredients.

Three phenolic compounds, rosmarinic acid (1), methyl rosmarinate (2), ethyl rosmarinate (3), and two flavonoids, luteolin (4), luteolin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucuronide methyl ester (5) were isolated from the aerial part of Lycopus lucidus (Labiatae). Their structures were determined by chemical and spectral analysis. Compounds 1-5 exhibited potent antioxidative activity on the NBT superoxide scavenging assay. The $IC_{50}$ values for compounds 1-5 were 2.59, 1.42, 0.78, 2.83, and 3.05 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL respectively. In addition, five compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.
