무화과는 뽕나무 과에 속하며 세계에서 가장 오래된 과일 중 하나이고, 국내에서는 주로 소화장애, 염증성궤양 그리고 가려움증 등에 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 무화과 잎을 메탄올로 추출한 후 임상진료실에서 분리된 메티실린 내성 황색포도상구균(MRSA)에 대한 항균활성을 보았다. 그 결과 분리된 MRSA 1-20에서 최소억제농도 (MIC)는 2.5 mg/mL에서 20 mg/mL 농도로 측정되었으며, 최소살균농도(MBC)는 5 mg/mL에서 20 mg/mL 농도로 관찰되었다. Oxacillin이나 ampicillin과 병용투여 시 4-8배 이상의 MIC/MBC농도가 감소되었으며, FICI 값도 0.0375-0.5이하로 병용효과를 나타내었다. 더불어 메탄올추출물 단독 사용시 보다 항생제와 병용투여 시 빠른 사멸효과를 보였다. 결론적으로 무화과 잎이 메티실린 내성 황색포도상구균에 항균활성을 나타냄을 확인하였으며, 메티실린 내성 황색포도상구균 감염에 천연 치료제로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Antioxidant activities of grape seeds extracted with various solvents were evaluated by measuring total phenol and flavanol contents, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) following lipid peroxidation, 2-deoxyribose degradation, SOD-like activity, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthizaoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical-scavenging ability, and electron-donating ability using 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycryl hydrazil (DPPH) method. Total phenol and flavanol contents of mixted-solvent extracts were higher than those of single-solvent extracts, with the mixing ratio of 17:3 (ethyl acetate: water) (EW) showed the highest contents. Antioxidant activities (%) of TBARS following phosphatidylcholine peroxidation were 14, 45, 45, 7, 4, 25, 21, 23, and 20% for ascorbic acid (AA), butylated hyroxytoluene (BHT), quercetin (Q), acetone extract (AT), ethyl acetate (EA) extract, methanol (MeOH) extract, 4:1 (EA) extract, 9:1 (EW)-extract, and 17:3 EW extract, respectively. Antioxidant activities for 2-deoxyribose degradation were 5, 80, 87, 78, 56, 73, 64, 60, and 75% in AA, BHT, Q, AT, EA, MeOH extract, 4:1 EW extract, 9:1 EW extract, and 17:3 EW extract, respectively. MeOH grape seed extract showed distinctly stronger electron-donating activity than other solvent extracts.

As the continued studies for Korean cultivated rhubarb, MeOH extract of the leaves was fractionated with ether, ethylacetate, and n-butanol. From the ethyl acetate fraction of MeOH extract, one flavone glycoside, apigenin-8-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(vitexin, $C_{21}H_{20}O_{10}$) and from the n-BuOH fraction of MeOH extract, two flavonol glycosids, kaempferol-3-O-(2,6-di-O-rhamnopyranosyl)-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside$(C_{33}H_{40}O_{19})$and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside(rutin, $C_{27}H_{30}O_{16}$) were isolated and identified through the physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic evidences(UV, IR, NMR, Mass) respectively.

Scutellaria pinnatifida A. Hamilt. (Lamiaceae) is an endemic Turkish herb. This plant is also endemic to Iran, and grows abundantly in other central and western Asian countries. Several species of the Scutellaria are known for their traditional uses in the treatment of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, inflammatory diseases, hepatitis, allergy, cancer and diarrhoea. Free-radical-scavenging property, antibacterial activity and brine shrimp toxicity of the n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH) extracts of S. pinnatifida were assessed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the resazurin microtitre plate based assay, and the brine shrimp lethality assay, respectively. The DCM and MeOH extracts exhibited free-radical-scavenging property, with the $RC_{50}$ values of 0.362 and 0.127 mg/ml, respectively. Among the solid-phase extraction fractions of the MeOH extract, the 50% aqueous-MeOH fraction showed the highest level of free-radicalscavenging activity ($RC_{50}$ = 0.039 mg/ml). While the DCM extract showed low level of antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli, the MeOH extract was active against B. cereus, B. subtilis, E. coli and ampicillin-resistant E. coli. However, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the MeOH extract against these bacterial strains were >10 mg/ml. None of the extracts showed any significant toxicity towards brine shrimps ($LD_{50}$ = > 1.00 mg/ml).

Antioxidants are known to affect the feeding habits of termites and a good source is pine bark which contains high levels of antioxidants which can be extracted with neutral solvents. In this study procyanidins (PCs)-rich MeOH-extract and a hot-water extract (HWE) were prepared from Pinus radiata bark. HWE was further separated into crude PCs (CPCs), polymeric PCs (PPCs), and low-molecular-weight PCs (LMWPCs) fractions. The MeOH extract and these fractions were examined for termite (Reticulitermes flavipes Kollar) antifeedant activities using a no-choice test. Catechin was used as a positive control. The LMWPCs was found to be the most effective deterrent to termite feeding. The comparative efficiency of the compounds tested were LMWPCs > PPCs > CPCs > MeOH extract, with the latter being more dependent on molecular weight than on its antioxidant activity.

용매(MeOH, EtOH, CHCI$_{3}$/MeOH Water)를 달리한 마추출물의 broiling과 panfrying의 조리법 변이원과 2-AF, benzo(a)pyrene, sodium azide 등의 화학적으로 유도된 순수변이원에 대한 억제효과를 검색하였다. 대사활성물질인 S9 mixture 무첨가시 조리법 변이원에 대한 변이원과 용매종류 및 변이원과 용매사이의 상호관계성은 유의적인 차이를 보였으나, S9 mixture 첨가시에는 변이원, 마, 용매종류들사이 에 유의성을 보였다. 특히 S9 mixture 첨가시 높은 억제효과를 보였던 산마 EtOH 추출물은 panfrying 변이원에 대한 억제효과는 컸으나 조리법 변이원에 포함되었을 것으로 예상되었던 benzo(a)pyrene에 대해서는 억제효과가 낮았다. 순수변이원로서 sodium azide에 대한 마추출물은 산마가 25.4%로, 9.1%인 재배마보다 높았으나 용매에 따른 유의성은 없었다. 2-AF는 마종류에 대한 유의성은 없었으나 Water가 26.2%, MeOH가 41.9%, EtOH가 45.0%, CHCI$_{3}$/MeOH가 84.0%로서 높은 억제효과를 보였다. 특히 산마의 CHCI$_{3}$/MeOH 추출물은 plate당 10 mg 농도에서 가장 높은 91.5%의 억제효과를 보였을뿐 아니라 plate당 1 mg 농도에서도 67%의 높은 억제효과를 나타내었다. 이상과 같이, 본 실험에 사용된 변이원 중 2-AF에 대한 산마 CHCI$_{3}$/MeOH 추출물이 단위 추출물당 억제활성이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

HPLC analysis of three Prunus species, Armeniacae Semen. Persicae Semen, and Mume Semen, showed that 24. 06 mg/g, 5. 79 mg/g and 3/ 10 mg/g of amygdalin in the MeOH extract and 3. 59 mg/g, 5. 41 mg/g and 13. 48 mg/g of benzaldehyde in the MeOH extract hydrolyzed with ${\beta}-glucosidase$ were contained respectively. The MeOH extract of Mume Semen showed strong antibacterial activities against two species of bacteria (E. coli and B. subtilis) while that of Armeniacae Semen showed mild, and that of Persicae Semen showed no effect. Against A. niger, a strong antifungal activity was observed with Armeniacae Semen and only mild activities with Persicae Semen and Mume Semen. None oh the three inhibited the growth of S. cervisiae. The above results may possibly be suggestive of the correlationships between the contents of amygdalin and benzaldehyde in the test extracts with the antimicrobial potencies.

Lonicerae Flos (LF) has been used as an anticancer, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory agent in traditional herbal medicine. In this study, induction of rat growth hormone (rGH) by addition of methanol (MeOH) extract of LF of Lonicerae (L.) Folium or several constituents of L. Folium were carried out in the pituitary cell culture system. Induced rGH level by addition of 70% MeOH extract of LF was increased to $732.65{\pm}105.64%$ of control (n=18, p<0.01), however, the other sequential fractions were not significantly different from the control. Ochnaflavone, a constituent of L. Folium, induced rGH level in the cell culture to $329.73{\pm}160.00%$ of control (n=6, p<0.01). An I..v. injection of the MeOH extract of LF did not increase plasma rGH level in anesthetized rats. Unfortunately, the MeOH extract of LF induced prolactin and LH release about 7 and 5 fold of the control, respectively (p<0.05, each). In conclusions, 70% MeOH extract of LF exerted induction of rGH release in rat pituitary cell culture. Further studies to investigate mechanisms of the inducded rGH by LF are in progress.

MeOH extract obtained from the Kochia scoparia (KS) was observed to inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), prostaglandins (PGs) and nitric oxide(NO) production in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7. These effects of MeOH-KS were based on modulation of iNOS and COX-2 level. Western blot analysis showed that MeOH-KS reduced the iNOS and COX-2 level in LPS activated macrophages, in a dose dependent manner without cNOS and COX-1 protein level. (omitted)
