Free radicals cause many diseases and aging. In our body coexist useful and harmful bacteria. Some useful intestinal bacteria such as L. plantarum, B. adolescentis, B .bifidum, B. infantis, C. butyricum were presented positive growth in culture medium bearing natural products. L. plantarum was more effectively grown by mixed natural products of CORNI FRUCTUS+THEAE FOLIUM+COPTIDIS RHIZOMA+PAEONIA JAPONICA, B. adolescentis was BEIAMCANDA CHINENSIS+ANGELICAE GIGANTIS RADIX+EPIMEDII HERBA+PAEONIA JAPONICA, B. bifidum was NELUMBO NUCLFERA GAERTNER+THEAE FOLIUM+BEIAMCANDA CHINENSIS+CORNI FRUCTUS, B. infantis was THEAE FOLIUM+CHELIDONIUM MAJUS L.+ASTRAGALI RADIX+EPIMEDII HERBA, C. butyricum was EPIMEDII HERBA+PUERARIAE RADIX+NELUMBO NUCLFERA GAERTNER+PAEONIA JAPONICA,etc. These natural products will support an important role in bio-industry.

The antioxidant activity of Paeonia suffruticosa (Paeoniaceae) was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The methanolic extract of P. suffruticosa showed the strong antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate soluble fraction was stronger than that of the others ($IC_{50}$, $1.2\;{\mu}g/mL$), and the fraction was subjected to purification by repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Suffruticosol A, suffruticosol B, methyl gallate, and gallic acid, were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction. Their structures were elucidated by physico-chemical and spectroscopic studies.

The root of Paeonia lactiflora has been used in Chinese medicine. We conducted to check the comparative qualities of ethanol solvent extraction (PLE) and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (PLS) of P. lactiflora root. PLE had higher antioxidant and polyphenol contents than PLS. But, PLS were significantly increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α. In addition, PLS inhibited the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. When treated with the extract at a concentration of 100 ㎍/mL, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway reporter luciferase activity of HEK 293-TOP cells increased approximately by 3-folds compared to that of the untreated control group. These results indicate that P. lactiflora supercritical carbon dioxide extract may serve as a cosmeceutical for improving skin barrier function and the treatment of obesity.

The bioassay-guided fractionation of protective agents against sepsis-induced lethality from the root cortex of Paeonia suffruticosa ANDREWS (Ranunculaceae) led to the isolation of eight known compounds: paeonol (1), 2,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone (2), acetovanillone (3), paeonoside (4), paeoniflorin (5), oxypaeoniflorin (6), apiopaeonoside (7), and methyl 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate (8). Among them, 3 showed the highest survival rate (100% with a dose of 30 mg/kg versus 17% for the control experiment) and reduced alanine aminotransferase level to be a half of the control value on the sepsis model induced by lipopolysaccharide/D-galactosamine.

Paeonol (2-hydroxy-5-methoxyacetophenone) obtained by silica gel column chromatography of the essential oil extracted from Paeonia moutan (Paeoniaceae) was methylated by dimethylsulfate to yield methylpaeonol (2,5-di-O-methylacetophenone). Both compounds inhibited nitric oxide (NO) foundation in lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage RAW 264.7 cells in nitrite assay. In the western blotting assay, it was shown that both compounds also decreased inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-and cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) formation. Methylpaeonol produced more potently inhibited NO-, iNOS and COX-2 formation in the assays than paeonol. These results suggest that paeonol is in part responsible for anti-inflammatory activity of Paeonia moutan, and that synthesis of paeonol derivatives may produce a promising candidate for andtiifnalmmatory agent.

$\alpha$-Benzoyloxypaeoniflorin (1), a new antioxidant monoterpene $\alpha$-glycoside anomer was isolated from Paeonia suffruticosa along with known compounds, $\beta$-benzoyloxypaeoniflorin (2), paeonolide, paeoniflorin and mudanpioside H. The structure of 1 has been determined by comparing spectral data with those of $\beta$-Benzoyloxypaeoniflorin(2). Compound 1 exhibited moderately potent radical scavenging activity on DPPH radical.

Antibacterial activity-guided fractionation of the $CHCl_3-MeOH$ (1:1) extract of Paeonia suffruticosa root bark furnished three monoterpene glycosides, 6-O-vanillyoxypaeoniflorin (1), mudanpioside-H (2), and galloyl-oxypaeoniflorin (3). Of the isolated compounds, compound 1 is a new compound. All isolated compounds showed broad, but moderate, antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 100 to $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ against eighteen pathogenic microorganisms of concern for public health or zoonosis.

Qantitative analysis of six compounds: (+)-catechin, benzoic acid, gallic acid methyl ester, paeonol, paeoniflorin, and albiflorin from Paeonia lactiflora extracts was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography and an ultraviolet (UV) detector, following different extraction methods. A reverse-phase column was used in a gradient elution system, and UV detection was performed at 280 nm. The results showed that the quantity of paeoniflorin was the highest in ethanol and water extracts (73.89 and 57.87 mg/g, respectively) among the six compounds. This study contributes a good analysis method for the contents of P. lactiflora and would be propitious for developing medicines and functional foods.

In Asia, the roots of Paeonia lactiflora and Astragalus membranaceus have been used as therapeutic agents for thousands of years. Once the medicinal plants are harvested, they are dried and their ingredients are extracted by heat-mediated reflux extraction. However, the condensed structure of organic products (especially roots) limits the extraction of bioactive components. In this study, we assessed the effect of the puffing method (using high temperature and pressure) before the extraction process in relation to the profile and antioxidant capacity of active ingredients. We demonstrated that the additional puffing process before extraction methods improves the yield of polyphenol concentrations and antioxidant activities from the roots of P. lactiflora and A. membranaceus.

본 연구는 작약(Paeonia lactiflora Pall.)씨 추출물 및 작약씨에서 분리한 resveratrol의 체내 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 시행되었다. 고콜레스테롤 식이에 작약씨 메탄올 추출물을 0.1%(MP1)와 0.2%(MP2) 첨가시키거나 메탄올 추출물을 탈지시킨 후 에테르로 분획한 에테르가용성 추출물을 0.05%(EP1), 0.1%(EP2), 작약씨 resveratrol은 0.02%씩 각각 첨가시킨 식이를 조제하여 초기체중 120$\pm$11g의 Sprague-Dawley종 숫쥐에게 섭취시켜 3주간 사육하였고, 시험물질을 첨가하지 않은 식이를 섭취시킨 control군과 비교 조사하였다. 사육 후 EP2군은 나머지 5군에 비하여 체중증가량과 식이효율이 떨어지는 경향이었으나 나머지 5군에서 차이가 없었다. 그러나 간 무게(g/100g 체중)는 EP2군이 대조군에 비하여 낮았고 혈청 GOT와 GPT도 5개의 작약군이 대조군에 비하여 차이가 없었다. 혈청 총 콜레스테롤은 EP2군과 resveratrol군이 control군에 비하여 유의하게 낮았고, 다른 군들은 차이가 없었으나 HDL-cholesterol은 5군의 작약군이 대부분이 높았으며 HDL-/총 콜레스테롤의 비율은 EP1군을 제외한 나머지 4군의 작약군에서 대조군에 비하여 모두 유의하게 높았다. 그러나 혈청중성지방은 EP2군만이 대조군에 비하여 낮았다. 간조직 콜레스테롤 함량은 5개의 작약군이 모두, 중성지방은 MP2군과 EP1, EP2군이 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다. 분변으로의 콜레스테롤 배설은 MP2, EP1 및 EP2군에서 대조군에 비하여 높았으나 담즙산 배설은 차이가 없었으며 EP2군에서는 오히려 낮았다. 본 연구의 결과로서 작약씨에는 체내 총 콜레스테롤 및 중성지방의 상태를 저하시키는 물질이 있으며 이러한 변화는 HDL-콜레스테롤 대사를 활성화시켜 분변으로의 콜레스테롤 배설을 증가시키는 것이 주요기전으로 판단된다. 이 역할을 하는 성분으로 작약씨에 존재하는 monomer형태의 resveratrol이 일익을 담당하지만 추출물속에 함유된 resveratrol oligomer 및 비 resveratrol 화합물도 작용하였으리라고 사료되어 이에 대한 확인이 필요하다. 작약씨에 함유된 물질들의 지질대사 개선효과는 이미 보고된 항산화기능과 함께 동맥경화 예방에 유효할 것으로 기대되며 기능성 식품에 활용에 대한 연구가 필요하다
