Atopic dermatitis (AD) were caused by localized hypersensitivity reaction to an allergen. Therefore, to reduce inflammatory response of AD had been developed that natural extracts and oils with anti-inflammatory activities. This study were investigated that anti-inflammatory effects of Malva verticillata L. oil induced by LPS with RAW 264.7 cells. We measured to production of NO and expression of COX-2, iNOS, TNF-${\alpha}$ by RT-PCR. The Malva verticillata L. oil had decreased the production of NO (p<0.05) and the mRNA level of iNOS in concentration dose dependent manner. In conclusion, this study have shown here may be of help to understand the action mechanism of the anti-inflammatory and we hope that Malva verticillata L. oil used in skin diseases such as AD.

A new daucosteryl derivative, verticilloside (1), was isolated from the seeds of Malva verticillata L. (Malvaceae). The structure was determined to be 3-O-[${\beta}$-D-(6'-linoleoyl)glucopyranosyl]-${\beta}$-sitosterol based on spectroscopic analyses ($^1H$ and $^{13}C$-NMR, DEPT, COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) and chemical reactions.

Stimulation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling followed by increase of glucose uptake in L6 myotubes were studied with organic solvent extract of Malva verticillata (MV) seeds. Ethanol extract of M. verticillata seeds (MVE) significantly increased the phosphorylation level of AMPK, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and glucose uptake in L6 myotube cells. The MVE was fractionated with n-hexane (MVE-H), chloroform (MVE-C), ethylacetate (MVE-E), n-butanol (MVE-B), and water (MVE-W). MVE-H (150 ${\mu}g$/ml) showed the highest phosphorylating activity and increased glucose uptake by 2.3-fold. Oral administration of MVE-H (40 mg/kg) for 4 weeks to type 2 diabetic (db/db) mice reduced non-fasting and fasting blood glucose levels by 17.1% and 23.3%, respectively. Phosphorylation levels of AMPK and ACC in the soleus muscle and liver tissue of db/db mice were significantly increased by the administration of MVE-H. MVE-H was further fractionated using preparative HPLC to identify the AMPK-activating compounds. The NMR and GC-MS analyses revealed that ${\beta}$-sitosterol was a major effective compound in MVE-H. Phosphorylation levels of AMPK and ACC, and glucose uptake were significantly increased by the treatment of MVE-S (${\beta}$-sitosterol) isolated from M. verticillata to L6 cells, and these effects were attenuated by an AMPK inhibitor (Compound C) pretreatment. These results, taken together, demonstrate that increased glucose uptake in L6 myotubes by MVE-H treatment is mainly accomplished through the activation of AMPK. Our finding suggests that the extract isolated from M. verticillata seed would be beneficial for the treatment of metabolic disease including type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

미생물 및 동물에 비해 식물에서는 혈전용해효소에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이며, 기존의 혈전용해효소가 가지는 혈전에 대한 비특이적, 부작용, 고가 등의 단점을 해결할 수 있는 새로운 혈전용해효소의 개발을 위하여 율무, 홍화, 아욱의 종자로부터 추출된 수용성 단백질의 혈전용해 활성을 조사하였다. 각각의 식물들로부터 추출된 조효소 용액은 기존 혈전 용해효소인 plasmin과 양성 대조군으로 하여 비교하여 fibrin 평판법으로 확인한 결과 피브린 응집을 효과적으로 분해하였다. 그 중 율무종자의 수용성 추출물의 혈전용해 활성은 양성 대조군인 plasmin과 비교하여 1.3배의 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 전체 수용성 단백질은 50-75% 에탄올을 이용하여 농축하였으며 율무의 혈전용해효소는 fibrin zymography를 수행하여 확인하고 직접 추출하였다. SDS-PAGE에 의하여 추출효소의 분자량을 측정한 결과 7.8 kDa으로 단일 polypeptide임을 확인하였으며, 효소 활성에 미치는 온도의 효과는 $50^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 비교적 안정하였으나 더 낮은 온도에서는 급격히 효소활성이 감소하였다. 또한, 각종 단백질분해효소 저해제에 의한 영향을 조사한 결과 APMSF, PMSF, pepstatin A 그리고 TPCK에 강력하게 저해되는 것으로 보아 추출효소는 chymotrypsin과 유사한 serine protease의 하나로 생각되었다. 그러나 EGTA와 EDTA 처리에 의해서는 효소활성의 저해가 두드러지게 나타나지 않았다. 더욱이, 종자저장 중에 미생물에 의한 부패, 활력저하, 생리활성물질의 감소와 장기저장에 따른 에너지소비 증가 등이 문제가 되고 있어 저선량의 감마선 조사를 통해 율무, 홍화, 아욱의 종자로부터 혈전용해 효소활성에 미치는 효과 및 선량에 따른 차이를 조사하였는데 비조사 종자인 대조구와 비교하여 1 Gy, 4 Gy, 16 Gy, 32 Gy선량에서는 낮은 활성을 보였으면 반면에 8 Gy와 64 Gy의 선량에서는 더 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 Y선 조사가 종자의 혈전용해 활성을 향상시킬 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 이상의 모든 결과로 볼 때 율무의 추출 효소는 chymotrypsin-like serine protease에 속하는 혈전용해효소임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 다섯 종의 씨앗(춘채, 아욱, 양배추, 배추, 당근)을 이용하여 금속산화물 나노입자(CuO, NiO, Fe₂O₃, Co₃O₄, TiO₂, ZnO)들이 씨앗발아와 발아지수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. CuO, ZnO, NiO 나노입자는 씨앗 활성에 뚜렷한 독성 영향을 나타내었으며, 나노입자종류에 따라 상이한 민감도를 나타내었다. 각 나노입자에 대한 독성순서(EC₅₀ 범위)는 다음과 같다: CuO 6~27 mg/L > ZnO 16~86 mg/L > NiO 48~112 mg/L. 나머지 조사 대상 나노입자인 Co₃O₄, TiO₂, Fe₂O₃은 최대 1,000 mg/L 높은 농도 노출에도 뚜렷한 영향을 나타내지 않았다. 씨앗별 상이한 민감도를 나타내었으며, 가장 민감한 종인 아욱의 씨앗발아 EC₅₀은 CuO 5.5 mg/L ZnO 16.4 mg/L, NiO 53.4 mg/L로 조사되었다. 씨앗별 나노입자에 대한 독성 영향은 CuO > ZnO > NiO > Fe₂O₃ ≈ Co₃O₄ ≈ TiO₂ 나타났으나, 당근씨앗은 NiO [EC₅₀ 80.4(71.41~90.54) mg/L]와 ZnO [EC₅₀ 85.8(69.31~106.29) mg/L]가 유사한 독성을 나타내었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in contents of total flavonoid and total polyphenol of three leafy vegetables, spinach(Spinacia oleracea L.), chard(Beta vulgaris L.), whorled mallow(Malva verticillata L.) by various blanching times. Total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents of spinach were 21.01 and 25.58 mg/g, those of chard were 26.02 and 35.14 mg/g, and those of whorled mallow were 16.80 and 19.94 mg/g, respectively. Total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents of chard were the highest among the leafy vegetables. Total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents of leafy vegetables were decreased according to blanching time. Especially, total flavonoid content of chard showed significant loss of $15-30\%$ by blanching time. Total polyphenol content of whorled mallow showed loss of $37-39\%$, but the decrease was not significant.

We collected and examined germplasm resources of lettuces, edible chrysanthemums and mallows for organic farmers. We found that 3 genotypes (OL-51, OL-52, and OL-63) are suitable for organic cultivation. The main use of treatment for grey mold among eco-friendly pest control methods is helpful to increase efficiency of seed-gathering after collecting and evaluating a total of 64 kinds of lettuces-collected 43 South Korea local varieties, 8 kinds cultivated by the Highland Agriculture Research Center, 4 kinds of cultivated lettuces, and 9 kinds for sales- to choose appropriate kinds of lettuces for organic cultivation in South Korea. We chose those with more than 300 leaves (OC-18, OC-44, and OC-51) after evaluation of yield characteristics of a total of 62 edible chrysanthemums. We covered each genotype of seed of edible chrysanthemums when gathering the seeds by ourselves so as not to decrease the purity of each genotype. We chosed OM-38, OM-39, and OM-40 for their yield performance and germination rates among the total 41 genotypes of mallows. We selected 9 genotypes of lettuces, editable chrysanthemums and mallows with possibility of organic cultivation and found that they can be used permanently through self seed-gathering on organic farms.

The study attempts to assess the status, distribution, conservation and use value of Medicinal and Aromatic Plant (MAPs) in the Sagarmatha National Park. Altogether 62 species of MAPs belonging to 47 genera and 33 families have been recorded in the study area. 10 species, belonging to 9 families are categorized as the potential species. Out of the these species, most potential in local but threatened species are Allium hypsistum Stearn, Cordyceps sinensis Sacc, Dactylorhiza hatagirea Soo, Nardostachys grandiflora DC, Aconitum orochryseum, Ephedra gerardiana Wall. Ex. Stapf, Swertia multicaulis D. Don, Picrorhiza scrophulariflora Penne, Rheum australe. D. Don, Malva verticillataL and Swertia pedicallata Benerji. By analysis of data using Simpson's diversity index (SI) and Shannon weaver function (H'), there was high diversity (more heterogeneous) MAPs species composition in the Manjo Gate to Large Dobhan. (0.98349). Less diversity (less heterogeneous) MAPs species composition was in Tyanboche to Pangoche (0.90419). Similarly, the Shannon weaver function shows that in plots laying out in Mongla to Phorche are evenly distributed than others However, higher MAPs species (i.e., 31) was found in the way of Manjo Gate to Larja Dobhan than others.
