The present investigation was designed to assess the anticancer activity of six different leaf extracts (ethyl acetate, methanol, chloroform, petroleum ether, n-butanol, and water soluble) of Abelia triflora on A-549 human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells. A-549 cells were exposed to $10-1000{\mu}g/ml$ concentrations of the leaf extracts of A. triflorafor 24 h and then percentage cell viability was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-biphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results showed that leaf extracts of A. triflora significantly reduced the viability of A-549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Decrease was recorded as 31% with ethyl acetate, 36% with methanol, 46% with chloroform, 54% with petroleum ether, 62% with n-butanol, and 63% with water soluble extracts at $1000{\mu}g/ml$ each. Among the various plant extracts, ethyl acetate extract showed the highest decrease in the percentage cell viability, followed by methanol, chloroform, petroleum ether, n-butanol, and water soluble extracts. Our results demonstrated preliminary screening of anticancer activity of different soluble extracts of A. triflora extracts against A-549 cells, which can be further used for the development of a potential therapeutic anticancer agents.

Cordyceps bassiana has long been used as an oriental medicine and reported to possess diverse biological activities. The fruiting bodies of Cordyceps bassiana was extracted with ethanol and then further fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water. The butanol fraction from Cordyceps bassiana (CBBF) exhibited the most effective in anti-inflammatory activity in RAW 264.7 macrophages and the roles of CBBF on the anti-inflammation cascade in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were studied. To investigate the mechanism by which CBBF inhibits NO, iNOS and COX-2, the activation of $I{\kappa}B$ and MAPKs in LPS-activated macrophage were examined. Our present results demonstrated that CBBF inhibits NO production and iNOS expression in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, and these effects were mediated through the inhibition of $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$, JNK and p38 phosphorylation. Also, CBBF suppressed activation of MAPKs including p38 and SAPK/JNK. Furthermore, CBBF significantly suppressed LPS-induced intracellular ROS generation. Its inhibition on iNOS expression, together with its antioxidant activity, may support its anti-inflammatory activity. Thus Cordyceps bassiana can be used as a useful medicinal food or drug for further studies.

국내산 겨우살이를 천연소재 및 천연 보존료로서 활용가능성을 탐색하기 위하여 겨우살이의 methanol 조추출물과 n-hexane, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, butanol 분획물의 식중독 세균 억제 활성과 항산화활성을 조사하였다. Ethyl ether와 ethyl acetate 분획물은 공시균주에 대하여 0.9~1.8 mm의 inhibition zone을 나타내었으며 특히 ethyl ether는 B. cereus에 대하여 가장 강한 항균효과를 보였다. 또한 겨우살이의 ethyl ether 분획물은 S. aureus에 대하여 가장 낮은 6.25 mg/mL의 MIC를 나타내었다. 겨우살이 추출물 및 용매분획물의 항산화 활성은 ethyl ether 분획물에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 겨우살이의 총 페놀함량은 ethyl ether 획분에서 가장 높았으며 ethyl acetate, n-hexane, butanol 및 methanol 조추출물과 water 획분의 순으로 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 ethyl ether 획분의 강한 항균활성과 항산화 활성은 획분중에 풍부한 총페놀화합물과 상관이 있으므로 향후 이 획분중의 활성물질의 분리 연구가 한국산 겨우살이의 기능성 소재화에 필요하다고 생각된다.

The antioxidant activities of Acanthopanax senticosus stems were evaluated in $CCl_4$-intoxicated rats. The n-butanol fraction from the water extract of the stems, when pretreated orally at 200 mg/kg/day for 7 consecutive days in rats, was demonstrated to exhibit significant increases in antioxidant enzyme activities such as hepatic cytosolic superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase by 30.31, 19.82 and 155%, respectively. The n-butanol fraction whereas showed a significant inhibition of serum GPT activity (65.79% inhibition) elevated with hepatic damage induced by $CCl_4$-intoxication. Eleutheroside B, a lignan component, isolated from the n-butanol fraction was found to cause a moderate free radical scavenging effection DPPH, its scavenging potency as indicated in $IC_{50}$ value, being 58.5$\mu$ M. These results suggested that the stems of A. senticosus possess not only antioxidant but also hepatoprotective activities.

We previously reported that dried Lysimachia christinae whole plant extract exerted significant neuroprotective activity. In this study, we tried to isolate neuroprotective compounds of L. christinae. We evaluated the neuroprotective activity of the four fractions (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol fractions) of methanol extract. Among them, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions showed most potent neuroprotective activity against glutamate excitotoxicity. Nine compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of L. christinae extract and identified as cynaroside (1), (3,4,5,6-tetrahydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)methyl-3-hydroxy-2-octyldopentaconta-23,33-dienoate (2), androst-16-ene-3,6-diol (3), 2-hydroxy-24-propoxytetracos-4-enoic acid (4), 2-hydroxy-24-methoxytetracos-4-enoic acid (5), 12-(stearoyloxy)octadec-9-enoic acid (6), β-sitosterol (7), (E)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)but-3-en-1-yl palmitate (8) and (1S,2S,3R,4R)-4-(((2S,3R,4R,5R,6S)-2-(((2R,3R,4S,5R,6R)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethoxy)-3,5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl) tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)oxy)-4,5-dihydroxy-6-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)oxy)cyclohexane-1,2,3-triol (9) by spectroscopic data such as UV, IR, NMR, Mass spectroscopy. Their neuroprotective activity was evaluated by MTT assay. Cynaroside (1) and androst-16-ene-3,6-diol (3) had significant neuroprotective activity against glutamate-injured HT22 cells. The neuroprotective efficacy of cynaroside (1) and androst-16-ene-3,6-diol (3) was related to their anti-oxidative activity.

n-butanol 용매 내에서 titanium n-butoxide의 가수분해 반응에 의하여 $TiO_2$ 분말을 합성하였고, 가수분해 반응 메카니즘은 UV-Vis 분광법에 의하여 조사하였다. 가수분해 반응시 물의 농도를 과량으로 하여 반응이 유사일차반응으로 진행하도록 하였다. 이러한 농도 조건에서 얻어진 분말의 상(phase)을 XRD에 의하여 확인하였으며 반응속도는 Guggenheim method를 이용하여 계산하였다. 합성 결과 얻어진 분말은 생성 초기 비결정 상태에서 열처리 과정을 거치면서 rutile 구조로 상전이 하였다. 속도상수로부터 얻어진 물분자수(n-value)와 열역학적 파라미터로부터 titanium n-butoxide의 가수분해 반응은 Interchange-Associative(Ia)메카니즘으로 진행하는 것으로 추정되었다.

Objectives : RVC has long been used for a useful natural agent ameliorating inflammation related symptoms in the folk medicine recipe. This study was performed to investigate effects of RVC on the inflammation and oxidation in RAW 264.7 cells. Methods : The RVC was extracted with 80% ethanol and sequentially partitioned with solvents in order to increase polarity. With the various fractions, we determined the activities on the inflammation and oxidation in RAW 264.7 cells. Results : 1. Among the various solvent extracts of RVC, the butanol fraction showed the most powerful inhibitory ability against nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells without affecting cell viability. 2. Butanol fraction showed a oxidation inhibition effect by decreasing the DPPH and OH radicals. 3. Butanol fraction exhibited the inhibitory avilities against iNOS and COX-2. 4. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Westem blotting analysis revealed that the BuOH fraction provided a primary inhibitor of the iNOS protein and mRNA expression in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Among the up-regulater molecules of iNOS and COX-2, the BuOh fraction of RVC was shown the inhibitory activity of phoshporylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1/2 and threonine protein kinase (AKT), the one of the MAPKs pathway. Conclusion : Thus, the present study suggests that the response of a component of the BuOH fraction to NO generation via iNOS expression provide a important clue to elucidate anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation mechanism of RVC.

본 논문에서는 Pebax-2533 판형 분리막을 1-프로판올과 n-부탄올 혼합용매를 이용하여 용해, 건조하여 제조하였고 time-lag 장치를 이용하여 $CO_2$, $N_2$ 투과특성을 평가하였다. 제조된 분리막은 평가조건에 따라서 130-288 barrer의 $CO_2$ 투과율을 가졌으며, $CO_2/N_2$ 투과선택도는 5-8이었다. Time-lag 장치의 주입부 압력이 증가함에 따라서, 투과온도가 낮아짐에 따라서, 그리고 혼합용매의 n-부탄올 양이 증가함에 따라서 $CO_2$ 투과도는 감소하였다. 이러한 실험 자료는 Pebax-2533 분리막의 $CO_2$ 투과율이 $CO_2$ 용해에 매우 의존할 것이라 예측과 달리, $CO_2$ 용해뿐만 아니라 $CO_2$ 확산도 매우 중요한 단계임을 의미하였다.
