Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Melia Fructus extract on osteoclast differentiation. Methods: MTT-assay was performed to estimate cytotoxicity of Melia Fructus extract in BMMs stimulated with M-CSF. TRAP staining, TRAP activity and Real-time PCR were performed to know the inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation. Actin ring formation were analysed to observe the effect of Melia Fructus extract. Results: Melia Fructus extract decreased the number of TRAP positive cells and the expression of NFATc1 gene, c-Fos gene, TRAP and OSCAR in BMMs stimulated with RANKL. Melia Fructus extract has no cytotoxicity at the concentration used in this study. Melia Fructus extract restrained the formation of actin ring. Melia Fructus inhibited NF-${\kappa}B$ activity by inducing degradation of p-$IkB{\alpha}$. Conclusions: Melia Fructus has the inhibitory effect of osteocalst differentiation and bone resorption. Further studies are needed to treat osteoporosis by herbal medicine containing Melia Fructus.

Meliae toosendan Fructus, the seed of Pagoda tree, Melia toosendan Sieb. et Zucc. (Meliaceae), has been used as a liver protective herbal drug in the Orient. Administration of seed oil to hyperlipedemic rats revealed the lipid lowering effects in serum and liver tissue without any toxicity in body weight increase and liver function.

Meliae toosendan Fructus is the fruit of Melia toosendan $S_{IEB}$. et $Z_{UCC}$. (Meliaceae), which is written in oriental terminology as clearing heat and drying dampness, and also explained using liver, stomach and small intestine for channels entered. Among the five fractions prepared from methanol whole extractive of the herb, the chloroform fraction which suggests the presence of triterpenoid, flavonoid and alkaloid stimulated the activities of drug metabolizing enzymes and bile secretion and lowered the serum transaminase activities of liver damaged by carbon tetrachloride.

A triterpenoid(melianone) and a limonoid(28-deacetyl sendanin) were isolated from the chloroform fraction of Meliae toosendan Fructus, the rippen fruits of Melia toosendan SIEB. et ZUCC.(Meliaceae) and were applied to serial experiments to clarify the liver protective activities. We found that the compounds promoted slightly the drug metabolizing enzyme activities and decreased serum transaminase activities which was elevated by carbon tetrachloride intoxication. And also they slightly increased the secretion of bile juice in rat.

장수상황버섯(Phellinus baumii) 균사체를 이용한 한약재의 고체발효를 통한 기능성 강화 한약재 생산을 목적으로, 항산화 활성 또는 혈류 개선활성이 우수하다고 알려진 36종의 한약재를 멸균 후, 장수상황버섯 균사체를 접종하여 고체발효 가능성을 검토하였다. $2^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 90% 배양기에서 20일간 발효시킨 결과, 감국, 대추, 백부자, 신이 및 황정을 제외한 31종에서 양호한 발효가 진행되었으며, 발효 가능여부는 한약재 식물체의 사용부위의 구조적 견고성, 영양조건 및 항진균 활성 등과 연관되리라 판단된다. 한약재의 고체발효 이후, 발효전과 비교하였을 때 평균 수분함량은 $30.84{\pm}15.67%$에서 $67.21{\pm}11.43%$로 2.2배 증대되었으며, 평균 메탄올 추출효율과 평균 pH는 $13.91{\pm}12.22%$ 및 $5.06{\pm}0.87$에서 각각 $11.16{\pm}7.06%$ 및 $4.83{\pm}0.73$ 다소 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 각각의 메탄올 추출물을 이용한 항혈전 활성 및 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과, 골쇄보, 천련자, 도엽, 와송의 경우에는 트롬빈 저해 활성이 각각 발효전에 비하여 31.38, 23.63, 22.57, 13.85% 증가되었으며, 원지, 현삼, 백지, 향부자, 골쇄보 및 육종용에서는 DPPH 소거능이 발효전에 비해 각각 58.9, 49.8, 48.1, 32.8, 24.1, 20.7% 증가되어 장수상황버섯 균사체 발효 한약재의 긍정적 생리활성 증가를 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 상황버섯 균사체를 이용한 한약재의 고체발효를 통해, 특정 기능성의 강화 원재료를 생산할 수 있으며, 골쇄보의 경우와 같이 항혈전 활성 및 항산화 활성이 동시에 증대된 한약재 생산이 가능함을 제시하고 있다.
