바이오디젤과 바이오디젤을 기반으로 생산된 neopentyl polyol ester (NPE)계 윤활유 베이스, 디젤유 윤활유와 석유디젤을 분석대상으로 하여 독성을 평가하였다 조류를 이용하여 수용액 상에서 화학물질의 독성시험을 조사하는 OECD 201에 근거하여 Chlorella vulgaris를 96시간 동안 배양하면서 독성시험 분석한 결과, 바이오디젤과 NPE계 윤활유 베이스의 반수저해농도 $(EC_{50})$ 값은 각각 84와 69mg/L로서 두 물질이 독성 이 적은 경독성 (slightly toxic)물질인 것으로 판명되었다. 디젤유 윤활유와 석유디젤의 경우 반수저해농도 $(EC_{50})$ 값이 각각 42와 24 mg/L로서 중등독성 (moderately toxic) 물질로 판정 되었다.

오존화 올리브 오일은 피부 질환에 우수한 치료 효과가 있어, 오존을 활용한 화장품 제조 기술의 개발이 시도되고 있다. 오존은 인체에 유해한 요소가 있어 오존화 올리브 오일을 화장품 원료용으로 제조하기 위해서는 별도의 시설이 준비되어야 한다. 본 연구에서 개발된 제조 장치는 생산에 투입된 작업자의 안전이 확보된 상태에서 화장품 제조에 최적화된 공정으로 설계 되었다. 구현된 장치로부터 제조된 오존화 올리브유의 검증을 위해 동물실험을 대상을 한 독성시험을 진행하였고 Rabbit에 대한 오존화 오일(고농도)을 Rabbit의 등 부위에 24시간 동안 도포한 후 사망률, 일반증상 및 피부 자극평가를 수행하였다. 실험 결과 일정 시간 후 시험 물질 처치부위를 평가한 결과, 모든 동물에서 피부자극이 관찰되지 않음이 확인되어 오존화 오일의 생산공정의 안전성과 생성물의 안전성을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The essential oil (EC-oil) obtained from the buds of Eugenia caryophyllata (Myrtaceae) was examined for its free radical-scavenging activity, cytotoxicity, and in vivo toxicity. To find the xenobiotic properties of EC-oil, serum thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level and hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activities were measured. It was found that EC-oil displayed xenobiotic properties like bromobenzene. The cytotoxicities of eugenol and of the EC-oil were greatly attenuated by the sulfhydryl-containing N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), suggesting that eugenol was susceptible to nucleophilic sulfhydryl. In addition, eugenol also showed potent free radical-scavenging activity in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Moreover, methyleugenol considerably exhibited less cytotoxicity and less potent free radical-scavenging activity than eugenol, and the cell viability of the methyleugenol was more increased with NAC treatment than the eugenol. These results indicate that the phenolic OH in eugenol may play a crucial role in both cytotoxicity and free radical-scavenging activity. The fashion on oxidative stress and hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activities of eugenol resembled those of bromobenznene.

The safety of pufferfish (Lagocephalus gloveri) liver oil and the contents of some nutritional components were examined to obtain important information on their use as high valued functional foods. Pufferfish liver oil was extracted by the hot-water method using $1\%$ NaOH solution to remove toxic compounds, and then purified using a general purifying method of fish oil. Any extraordinary clinical symptoms were not observed from all groups administrated with pufferfish liver oil throughout the test period. None of the rats died when administrated the highest concentration of 10 mL/kg of the pufferfish liver oil. Vitamin A content was 114.2 ppm, as a retinal equivalent in the oil extracted using hot-water, but the content was higher (169.3 ppm) in oil extracted using n-hexane. Vitamin D and E were not detected in ppm in oil extracted using hot-water. Vitamin D in the pufferfish liver oil extracted using n-hexane was also undetected, but vitamin E was at 32.5 ppm. Among the 18 minerals detected, the sodium content was the highest at 253.5 ppm, followed by 13.9 ppm ofpotassium, 1.5 ppm of calcium, 0.2 ppm of magnesium, and other trace minerals. The contents of EPA and DHA were $0.8\%\;and\;14.8\%$, respectively, in the pufferfish liver oil extracted using hot-water. Considering these results, there is potential that pufferfish liver oil could be used as a functional food.

Oil spills have occurred throughout the years of industrialization and represent a global challenge as they affect vast areas of the ocean. The toxicity of crude oil to aquatic organisms has been extensively investigated, but the potential impacts of crude oil on vertebrate development remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of dispersants used in treating a recent oil spill, as well as that of crude oil, on vertebrates by using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model species, which has been widely used in empirical studies of both early embryonic development and adult physiology. Chronic exposure to crude oil resulted in marked developmental abnormalities, including pericardial edema, abnormal trunk vessel development, retardation of axonal branching, and abnormal jaw development. Embryonic development was affected more severely by exposure to the oil-dispersant combination than to the oil alone. Thus, the zebrafish in vivo model system suggests that dispersant treatment can have detrimental developmental effects on vertebrates and its potential impact on marine life, as well as humans, should be carefully considered in clean-up efforts at the site of an oil spill.

This study was carried out to assess the reproductive toxicity of 2-bromopropane (S-BP) using spermatogenesis stage classification and Sertoli cell indices (SCI).Vehicle control olive oil and 2-BP doses of 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg of body weight were injected in the interaperitoneum of 12 weeks male Sprague-Dawley rats for 28 days respectively of SCI on germ cells including the spermatogonia of stages II-III, Ⅵ,Ⅹ, XII, ⅩIII, and spermatocytes of stages VIII (preleptotene), Ⅹ (leptotene), XII (leptotene), V and Ⅵ (pachytene), and the round spermatids of stage Ⅵ. Considering the process of maturation depletion in spermatonesis, spermatogonia may be the primary target cells of 2-BP toxicity.

유기합성 농약의 과다사용은 환경오염, 살충제 저항성 발달, 비표적 생물에 대한 영향 등 부작용의 원인이 되고 있다. 유기합성 농약의 대체약제로 포유동물에 저독성인 식물기원 물질이 각광을 받게 되었다. 이란 서양가새풀(Achillea millefolium L.) 정유성분의 훈증독성은 국제적 저장작물 해충인 머리대장가는납작벌레(Oryzaephilus surinamensis L.)의 방제제로 연구된 바 있다. 이 식물 정유의 화학적 성분을 가스크로마트 그래피(MS)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 살충실험 결과 처리농도에 따라 유의한 살충률을 나타냈다. 처리농도와 살충률 간 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 반치사 농도(LC50)는 $17.977{\mu}l/L$ 이었다. 주요 성분은 1,8-Cineole (13.17%), nerolidol (12.87%), ${\alpha}$-cubebene (12.35%), artemisia ketone (6.69%), ${\alpha}$-terpineol (5.27%), alloaromadendrene oxide (4.71%) 및 borneol (3.99%) 이었다. 전체 동정된 화합물의 96.35%는 Terpenic 화합물로 monoterpene hydrocarbons (8.19%), monoterpenoids (44.23%), sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (21.69%) 및 sesquiterpenoids (22.24%)를 포함하고 있었다. 본 결과는 terpene이 풍부한 서양가새풀 정유가 머리대장가는납작벌레의 안전한 생물농약으로 고려될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of main constituents of Nigella sativa (NS) seed on the survival and CNS responses in experimental animals. The toxicological investigations were conducted for the determination of median lethal doses $(LD_{50})$ of NS seed constituents [i.e. aqueous extract (AE), fixed oil (FO), volatile oil (VO)] and main components of its VO [i.e. thymoquinone (TQ), ${\alpha}-pinene$ (AP) and p-cymene (PC)]. A part of this study includes evaluation NS constituents in the induction of minimal neurological deficit (MND) as a parameter for neurotoxicity using chimney test. In this study, the i.p. $LD_{50}$ values of AE, FO, VO, TQ (suspended In 0.5%CMC), TQ (dissolved in corn oil), AP and PC, were 3020, 3371, 1853, 616.6, 90.3, 1726 and 1523 mg/kg, respectively. All the NS constituents can be considered moderately toxic ($LD_{50}$ ranged from 616.6 to 3371 mg/kg), except the oily solution of TQ, which was very toxic ($LD_{50}$ was 90.3 mg/kg). It appeared that the toxicity of the whole VO is mainly due to its content of TQ and to some extent PC. All the NS constituents induced different degrees of MND at certain dose levels. The median neurotoxic (or sedating) doses $(TD_{50})$ of AE, FO, VO, TQ (suspended in CMC) and AP and PC, were 950, 1403, 306, 88.1, >173 and 368 mg/kg, respectively. TQ was the most potent component in inducing MND, whereas the FO and AE were the least. Neurotoxicity induced by the VO in the chimney test may refer basically to its contents of TQ and to some extent PC and AP.

바이오디젤 (지방산 메틸에스테르)을 기반으로 하여 생산된 합성윤활유 베이스에 대한 독성을 분석 평가하였다. OECD 207의 방법에 의거하여 인공토양(artifical soil)에서 300$\~$600 mg의 지렁이를 선별하였다. 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100과 1,000 mg/kg의 각 농도별로 선별된 지렁이를 10마리씩 넣고 수분 $31\~37\%$, 온도 $20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$와 PH 6.0 $\pm$ 0.5를 조절하여 14일간 지렁이의 반수치사농도(lethal concentration when $50\%$ of the population were killed, $LC_{50}$)를 측정하였다. 합성윤활유의 측정 된 반수치사농도($LC_{50}$)는 1,555 mg/kg로 측정되었으며, 유의 확률이 < 0.02로서 유의수준 $5\%$에서 유의함을 알 수 있었다.
