The purpose of this study was to measure the bioactivity and antioxidant activity of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger. Orostachys japonicus A. Berger have been known to contain functional materials such as kaempferol, hydroquinone, methyl gallate, quercetin, gallic acid etc. To identify the main functional materials of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger, the contents of flavonoid and phenol were measured. We extracted Orostachys japonicus A. Berger powder from four solvents such as chloroform:methanol (CM, 2:1, v/v), distilled water (DW), 70% methanol, 70% ethanol. After that, this study determined tannin, total phenol, flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power and reducing power of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger extracts and as results of comparing each extract. respectively. From the above results shows that antioxidant activity and bioactivity of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger extracts was higher in the order of 70% ethanol, 70% methanol, DW and CM (p<0.05). The results showed that antioxidant activity of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger extracts supposed to affect by the total phenol and flavonoid contents.

바위솔 총 페놀 함량은 조사된 빛의 양 및 질소비료의 시비량과 밀접한 관계가 있으며 빛의 양이 증가될수록 질소비료의 시비량이 증가할수록 총 페놀 함량이 증가하는 경향이 관찰되었다. 총 페놀 함량은 여러 가지 조건하에서 인공적으로 재배된 바위솔보다 자연산 바위솔에서 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 자연산의 경우 개화 후의 총 페놀 함량이 개화 전의 총 페놀함량보다 높았다. 바위솔의 항산화능은 바위솔에 조사된 빛의 양 및 질소비료의 시비량과 관계가 있으며 빛의 양 및 질소비료의 시비량이 증가하면 대략적으로 항산화능도 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다. 인산 및 칼륨비료의 시비량과 총페놀 함량과 항산화능 사이에는 별 큰 상관관계가 없는 것으로 관찰되었다.

This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activities and quality characteristics of jelly added with Orostachys japonicus juice. The moisture content and the soluble solids content of the jelly samples decreased significantly with increasing content of O. japonicus. The pH was highest in the control samples, and the pH significantly decreased with the addition of increasing amounts of O. japonicus. In terms of the chromaticity measurements, the lightness value and redness value was highest in the control sample, and it decreased as the amount of added O. japonicus increased, whereas the yellowness value increased with increasing levels of O. japonicus added. The gumminess and chewiness of the jelly increased with the addition of increasing amounts of O. japonicus. On the other hand, the cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the jelly did not show statistically significant changes. The total polyphenol and DPPH radical scavenging activities of the jelly with 100% O. japonicus added were significantly higher than those of the jelly with 0% O. japonicus added. Regarding the sensory evaluation, the sample with 75% O. japonicus added was perceived to have the best color, flavor, O. japonicus flavor, chewiness, and overall preference.

본 연구에서는 약용식물인 와송의 항균활성을 조사하기 위하여 와송의 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리를 물과 에탄올의 2가지 용매로 추출한 후, paper disc법과 MIC test를 이용하여 식품의 부패 및 식중독 관련 미생물 10종에 대한 항균활성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 와송 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리의 물 추출물과 와송 줄기와 뿌리 에탄올 추출물에서는 항균효과가 나타나지 않았지만, 와송 잎 에탄올 추출물은 그람 양성균 6종에 대해서는 모두 항균활성을 나타내었으며, 그람 음성균의 경우에는 S. Typhimurium에서만 항균활성을 나타내었고, S. cerevisiae와 P. expansum에 대해 항진균 효과를 보였다. 특히, C. perfringens에 대해서 가장 높은 항균활성을 보여 0.05% 농도에서 균의 생육을 억제하였으며, S. cerevisiae에 대해서도 0.05% 농도에서 균의 생육을 억제하였다. 와송 잎 에탄올 추출물은 $121^{\circ}C$에서 15분간 가압가열처리에도 항균활성이 감소되지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, B. subtilis를 제외한 균주에 대하여 pH $2{\sim}10$까지 처리 후에도 항균활성이 감소 하지 않는 것으로 보아 와송 잎 에탄올 추출물은 열과 pH에 비교적 안정하다고 사료된다. 따라서 와송 잎 유래의 항균성 물질은 식품의 부패 및 식중독 미생물에 대한 항균활성을 가지며 열과 pH에 대해서도 안정하므로 식품의 천연보존제로서 사용이 가능하리라 사료된다.

This study examined the antioxidant activity of methanol and water extracts from Orostachys japonicus A. Berger according to harvest times, by measuring electron donating ability(EDA), reducing power, superoxide dismutase(SOD)-like activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) and antioxidant activity within a linoleic acid emulsion. EDA increased proportionally with the extract concentration and the methanol extract had slightly stronger effects than the water extract. And reducing power and SOD-like activity were highest in the methanol extract. Overall, based on the data, the methanol extract of O. japonicus A. Berger harvested during $August{\sim}October$ presented the highest level of antioxidative activity and may be a good candidate as a natural antioxidant source.

In this study, powder of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger (O. japonicus) was extracted with 95% ethyl alcohol and fractionated using a series of organic solvents, including n-hexane (hexane), dichloromethane (DCM), ethylacetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (BuOH), and water ($H_2O$). We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of these O. japonicus extracts on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Their effects on the expression of inflammatory mediators and transcription factors were analyzed by Western blotting. DCM fraction significantly inhibited formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Phosphorylation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}$B) p65 and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), one of its downstream proteins, were also suppressed by DCM fraction. These effects were regulated by upsteam proteins in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathways. Taken together, our data suggest that O. japonicus could be used as a potential source for anti-inflammatory agents.

The herbs of Orostachys japonicus (Crassulaceae) have been used to treat gastric cancer, gastric ulcer or hemorrhage. Flavonoid glycosides, mainly kaempferol (Kp)- and quercetin (Qc) glycosides, have been isolated from O. japonicus; however, no quantitative information on those flavonol glycosides and no peroxynitritescavenging activity of the Orostachys extracts have been reported. In this study, Kp- and Qc glycosides were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in eight Orostachys and a Meterostachys species including O. japonicas, O. margaritifolius, O. chongsunensis, O. minuta, O. ramosus, O. malacophylla, O. latiellipticus, O. iwarenge, O. iwarenge for. magnus, and Meterostachys sikokiana distributed or cultivated in Korea. Distinctively, O. margaritifolius contained two flavonol 3,7-di-O-glycosides of Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside and Kp 3-rhamnosyl-7-glucoside, but O. japonicus had two flavonol 3-O-rutinosides, Kp 3-rutinoside and Qc 3-rutinoside. The three species of O. margaritifolius (24.36 mg/g MeOH extract), O. japonicus (21.28 mg/g), and O. minuta (19.50 mg/g) showed relatively higher flavonoid contents. The flavonol glycosides were analyzed using eight standard compounds (Kp, Qc, Qc 3-O-rhamnoside, Qc 3-O-glucoside, Kp 3- O-rutinoside, Qc 3-O-rutinoside, Kp 3-O-rhamnosyl-7-O-glucoside, Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside). The present HPLC method was validated to verify the linearity, precision, and accuracy. In addition, the peroxynitrite-scavenging activity was also discussed.

Optimal culture conditions for efficient in vitro propagation and polysaccharide production of Orostachys japonicus were established. The highest growth yield was achieved in 1/2 MS medium, while the lowest growth yield was obtained in 4 MS medium. The patterns of polysaccharide formation were a little similar in all cases, but on MB5 medium, the po]ysaccharide contents of plant were higher than others. Among the modified nitrate levels, effective growth level were obtained in 1/4 N and 1/2 N. High contents of polysaccharide were obtained in 4 N. Different concentration of potassium and calcium did not improve the growth and polysaccharide production. The micropropagated shoots were successfully acclimatized artificial soils.
