The aim of the present study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether and ethanol extracts of Scutia myrtina (Family: Rhamnaceae). In anti-inflammatory activity carrageenan and histamine induced paw oedema and cotton pellet induced granuloma for acute and chronic inflammatory models were studied in Wister albino rats. Based on the results of the present study it can be concluded that petroleum ether and ethanol extract of Scutia myrtina at 400 mg/kg has potential anti-inflammatory effect and they act in a dose dependent manner. Both extracts of Scutia myrtina showed antimicrobial activity against all bacterial and fungal strains tested at the concentration of $100\;{\mu}g$/ml. From the result, it can be concluded that the Scutia myrtina contain antibacterial and antifungal principle. Further more, besides the confirmation of the popular use; the obtained results demonstrate this herbal drug to represent a new source of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent.

Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma has been extensively used by human beings as a medicinal herb as well as natural sweetener. In this study, we performed quantification analysis of three major constituents including liquiritin, glycyrrhizin, and glycyrrhetinic acid in the 70% ethanol extracts of non-processed Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and processed Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma using a high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detector. The analytical column for separation of the 3 constituents used a Gemini C18 column kept at $40^{\circ}C$ by the gradient elution of two mobile phase. The amounts of liquiritin, glycyrrhizin, and glycyrrhetinic acid in non-processed Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma were 2.57%, 3.52%, and not detected. After processing by roasting, the best roasting temperature and time of iquiritin, glycyrrhizin, and glycyrrhetinic acid were $160^{\circ}C$-15 min (2.46%), $160^{\circ}C$-15 min (3.67%), and $240^{\circ}C$-15 min (0.76%), respectively.

A mouse whole animal bioassay was employed to screen for potential mutagenicity of ethanol/water extracts of 16 Chinese herbal drugs that are commonly prescribed in Korea. Specific cytogenetic toxicity was measrured by recording evidence of clastogenesis toxicity was measured by recording evidence of clastogenesis via the mouse bone marrow micronucleus test. Male ICR mice administered ethanol extract of Pinelliae tuber (Pinellia eternata Breitenbach, ARACEAE, 양복) and ddY female mice administered extract of Angelica Koreanae radix(Angelica Koreana Maximowicz, UMBELLIFERAE, ) (both by oral administration, at a dose of 600 mg/kg), in a short-term dosing schedule, demonstrated significant increase in micronucleated polychromatophilic erythrocytes, indicating the increase of clastogenicity.

본 연구에서는 복분자 열매의 성숙도에 따른 미백 활성의 차이를 확인하기 위해 B16F10 cell에서 melanin 생성량을 측정하고, 기능성분인 ellagic acid의 함량 변화를 확인하였다. 또한 ellagic acid의 함량에 따른 tyrosinase 저해 활성도 측정하였다. B16F10 cell에서 MRF 및 IRF 추출물은 200 ㎍/mL 농도까지 세포 독성을 나타내지 않았고, Melanin 생성량은MRF 추출물에 비해 IRF 추출물에서 더 좋은 억제 활성을 보여주었다. 또한 복분자 성숙도에 따른 ellagic acid의 함량 변화를 확인한 결과, MRF 추출물에 비해 IRF 추출물에서 ellagic acid의 함량이 높게 측정되었고, tyrosinase 저해 활성 평가에서도 MRF 추출물에 비해 IRF 추출물에서 더 좋은 억제 활성을 보였다. 결과를 종합해보면, MRF 추출물에 비해 IRF 추출물에서 ellagic acid의 함량이 더 높았으며, 이로 인해 tyrosinase의 저해 및 melanin 생성 억제 또한 IRF 추출물에서 더 좋은 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 복분자 미성숙과는 천연 미백 소재로써 우수한 기능성 화장품 원료가 될 것이라 생각한다.

본 연구는 천연소재 12종의 페놀성 화합물 함량, 라디칼 소거능, 알코올탈수소효소(ADH), 아세트알데히드탈수소효소(ALDH) 활성도를 측정하고 상승효과를 가지도록 배합한 복합물의 숙취해소에 미치는 효과를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 우수한 개별 소재를 선정하고 배합비를 달리하여 효능 평가를 통해, 배합비가 효능에 미치는 상관관계를 분석하였다. 8종의 추출물 중 보이차, 소나무, 갈근 순으로 ADH 활성이 높았고, 갈근은 배합량과 효능 간의 양의 상관관계, 보이차, 소나무 등은 음의 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 8종의 소재로 배합한 F1~F7 을 대상으로 ADH, ALDH 활성평가를 통해 F.7에서 상승효과가 가장 높은 것을 확인하여 최적 배합비로 도출하였다. F.7를 섭취한 시험군에서 알코올 섭취 30분 후부터 호기 알코올 농도가 섭취 직후 호기중 알코올 농도 대비 58%로 유의적으로 감소되기 시작하였고, 120분 후 27%로 호기중 알코올 농도가 감소되었다. 음주 후 발생하는 숙취증상 설문 결과 대조군에 비해 시험군에서 음주 후 발생하는 피곤함과 갈증에서 유의적인 개선효과 (p<0.05)가 있었다.

Objective : In this study, we demonstrate the protective effect on oxidative DNA damage of leaf extracts from Abeliophylli distichi Folium via its antioxidant activity for the establishment of new value for the herbal medicine. Methods : Abeliophylli distichi Folium leaves were extracted with hot-water and ethylacetate (EtOAC). The 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl scavenging assay and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating assay were performed for antioxidative effect and ${\varphi}$X-174 RF I DNA cleavage assay and intracellular DNA damage assay were used for inhibitory effect of intracellular DNA damage. Results : In DPPH, Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity of EtOAC extracts were 94.72%, 62.88%, 41.13%, and hot-water extracts were 88.86%, 56.7%, 37.4% at 200 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively. Also, those extracts showed protective effect of DNA damage against the oxidative stress. Conclusion : These results indicated that the leaf extracts of Abeliophylli distichi Folium can be used as a natural antioxidants, which effectively inhibits the oxidative DNA damage.

Objectives : To develop a natural antioxidant and anti-hemolytic agents, we investigated the effects of ethanol extracts of Carpesii Fructus and Farfarae Flos. Methods : Aerial parts of Carpesii Fructus and Farfarae Flos were extracted with 80% ethanol. Antioxidant activity of Carpesii Fructus or Farfarae Flos extract was evaluated by employing three different assays, i.e., 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-suphonic acid) diammonium (ABTS) scavenging and reducing power activities. Also, anti-hemolytic activity of Carpesii Fructus or Farfarae Flos extract was determined using [2,2'-azobis (2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH)]-induced hemolysis, glutathione (GSH) depletion and malondialdehyde (MDA) formation in normal rat red blood cells (RBC) or plasma. Results : The extracts obtained from Carpesii Fructus and Farfarae Flos dose-dependently increased the scavenging activity on DPPH- or ABTS-induced radicals and the reducing power activities. Carpesii Fructus and Farfarae Flos were similar to the scavenging activity and the reducing power of butylated hydroxy anisole effect at high concentration ($1,000{\mu}g/mL$). RBC oxidative hemolysis and plasma MDA formation induced by AAPH were significantly suppressed by the extracts of Carpesii Fructus and Farfarae Flos in a dose-dependent manner. Also, Carpesii Fructus and Farfarae Flos extracts prevented the depletion of cystosolic antioxidant GSH in RBCs. Carpesii Fructus generally had better than the free radical scavenging activity, the reducing power and anti-hemolytic effects of Farfarae Flos. Conclusions : These results suggest that Carpesii Fructus and Farfarae Flos may have value as the potential antioxidant and anti-hemolytic medicinal plant.

본 연구의 목적은 천연 보존료나 기능성 식품을 개발하기 위하여 오미자를 물과 70% 에탄올로 추출한 후, 추출물의 폴리페놀 함량, 생리활성(항균활성, 항산화능, 혈전용해능)을 측정하였다. 오미자의 물과 에탄올 추출물의 폴리페놀 함량은 각각 511.5, 696.6 mg/100 g이었다. 오미자의 물추출물과 에탄올추출물은 식중독세균인 L. monocytogenes와 S. aureus에 대하여 우수한 항균활성을 나타내었다. 물추출물과 에탄올추출물 1,000 ppm 농도에서, 전자공여능은 각각 88.6%, 94.5%였으며 SOD 유사활성은 51.2, 53.6%, 아질산염 소거능은 pH 1.2에서 70.2%, 76.2%였다. 폴리페놀함량이 높은 에탄올추출물이 물추출물에 비하여 항균, 항산화 활성이 우수하였다. 반면에 오미자 추출물 $1.25{\sim}5.0%$의 혈전용해능은 물추출물이 에탄올추출물에 비하여 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 본 실험결과로 볼 때, 오미자 추출물은 건강식품 개발 소재 혹은 가공식품에서 천연 첨가물로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Soamsan is known as an anti-cancer remedy in the traditional Korean Medicine. To enhance the synergic effects of anti-cancer activity of Soamsan, this study reconstituted the original components of Soamsan with a slight modification and produced a novel herbal remedy, namely Gamisoamsan. Extracts of Gamisoamsan inhibited the growth of cultured CT-26 cells, mouse colon adenocarcinoma, in a dose-dependent manner $(1\;to\;50{\mu}g/ml)$, and $ID_{50}$ was estimated approximately $16.7{\mu}g/ml$. Using tumor-bearing mouse model, in which was produced by subcutaneous injection of CT-26 cells ($1{\times}10^5$cells). the effects of Gamisoamsan on tumor growth and host survival were examined by evaluating tumor volume and increase in life span. When Gamisoamsan extracts in variable doses of 100, 200 and 500mg／kg body weight per day were orally administered to tumor-bearing mice, following results were obtained: Improvement in the hematological parameters following Gamisoamsan treatment such as hemoglobin contents, red blood cells and white blood cells of the tumor-bearing mice have been observed. Gamisoamsan treatment also showed a prolongation of life span and a reduction of tumor volume in the CT-26 tumor hosts. The results of the present study suggest that Gamisoamsan extracts has a potential anti-tumor activity and may be an useful remedy to prevent and／or treat cancer.
