북미가 원산지인 왜생삼(Panax trifolius L.)은 인삼속(오가과)에 속하며 카나다 남부에서 북미에 걸쳐 서식한다. 왜생삼 잎에서 4종류의 프라보느이드와 5종류의 진세노사이드로 확인된 총 9종류의 화합물을 분리하였다. 2종류의 진세노사이드로 확인된 총 9종류의 화합물을 분리하였다. 2종류의 프라보노이드는 kaempferol-3,7-dirhamnoside와 kaempferol-3-gluco-7rhamnoside로 각각 확인되었다. 4종류의 진세노사이드는 각각 notoginsenoside-Fe, ginsenoside-Rd, ginsenoside-Rc와 ginsenoside-$Rb_3$로 확인되었으며, 이들 왜생삼의 ginsenoside 공통된 골격구조는 (20S)-protopanaxadiol인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 프라보노이드와 진세노사드의 동정은 왜생삼의 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 꽃과 열매에서 추출하여 2차원 박층 그로마토그라피(2D-TLC)와 고압 액체크로마토그라피(HPLC)로 하였다. 왜생삼과 근연종인 고려인삼(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer)및 미국삼(Panx quinquefolium L.)의 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 꽃과 열매에서 추출한 프라보노이드와 진세노시드의 정량은 고압 액체크로마토그래피 만을 사용하여 분석하였다. 화합물 1,3과 4로 명명한 kaempferol 유도체인 프라보노이드 3가지는 왜생삼의 뿌리에 $10.8\%,\;2.8\%$와 $8.4\%$가 각기 함유되어 있었으나 고려인삼과 미국삼에서는 함유되어 있지 않았다. 오가과 인삼속식물 뿌리에서 프라보노이드가 확인, 동정된 것은 이것이 처음이다.

A major protein was isolated from ginseng root (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration chromatography, ion-exchange FPLC. Electrophoretic and gel permeation chromatographic studies revealed that the major protein, GMP, is composed of two subunits of approximately 28 kDa. In this, investigated the ability of GMP to inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). GMP inhibited $Cu^{2+}$ (5$\mu$M)-promoted oxidation of LDL (125$\mu$g protein/mL) in a dose-dependent mamer (0~5 $\mu$M), with a maximal inhibitor at GMP/copper ratio of 1:10 and an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.2 $\mu$M, as determined by measurement TBARS.

홍삼 제조공정을 단순화하면서 효율적으로 유효성분을 증대시키기 위해서 4년근 수삼을 구입하여 깨끗이 수세한 후 $96-98^{\circ}C$에 3시간 정도 수증기로 증삼한 후 30시간 정도 열풍건조하여 홍삼제조를 위한 간이법을 개발하였다. 제조한 홍삼으로부터 홍삼엑스($60^{\circ}$ brix 이상)를 제조하였으며 홍삼엑스의 추출수율은 60% 이상이었다. 간이법으로 제조한 홍삼을 재료로 하여 농축한 홍삼엑스의 사포닌 함량을 조사하기 위해서 HPLC를 이용하여 총 사포닌(total saponin)을 분석하였다. 그 결과 PD계 사포닌 중 암세포전이억제효과와 평활근이완작용이 탁월한 ginsenoside-Rg3에는 H사에 비하여 2배 이상 검출되었으며, 간상해 억제작용과 혈소판 응집억제작용이 있는 것으로 알려진 ginsenoside-Rh1종의 경우 3배 이상 검출이 되었다.

Molecular cloning and restriction mapping on ATPase $\alpha$-subunit gene (atpA) were carried out to obtain genomic information concerned with the gene structure and organization in Korean ginseng mitochondria. Two different clones containing the homologous sequence of atpA gene were selected from SalI and PstI libraries of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Korean ginseng. The sizes of mtDNA fragments inserted in SalI and PstI clones were 3.4 kb and 13 kb, respectively. Southern blot analysis with [$^{32}P$] labelled Oenothera atPA gene probe showed that atpA gene sequence was located in 2.0 kb XkaI fragment in PstI clone and in 1.7 kb XbaI fragment in SalI clone. A partial sequening ascertained that the SalI clone included about 1.2 kb fragment from SalI restriction site to C-terminal sequence of this gene but about 0.3 kb N-terminal sequence of open reading frame was abscent. The PstI fragment was enough large to cover the full sequence of atpA gene. The same restriction pattern of the overlapped region suggests that both clones include the same fragment of atiA locus. Data of Southern blot analysis and partial nucleotide sequencing suggested that mtDNA of Korean ginseng has a single copy of atpA gene. Key words ATPase a-subunit, mitochondrial DNA, Panax ginseng.

본 연구는 Panax속의 유용형질을 탐색하고, 고려인삼과 미국삼, 그리고 종간 잡종인 F$_1$ 식물체의 생육, 형태적 특성, 수량, 적변율 및 ginsenoside함량 등을 조사하였던 바, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 고려인삼은 적변 발생율이 연생이 높아질수록 증가하였으나, 미국삼은 적변이 발생되지 않았으며 F$_1$잡종식물체에서도 적변이 발생되지 않았다. 2. 고려인삼과 미국삼의 잡종인 F$_1$잡종식물체 인삼의 개화기는 미국삼보다 빠르고, 자경종보다는 늦었다. 3. 고려인삼과 미국삼을 교배한 F$_1$ 묘삼의 근형질 특성은 미국삼과 고려인삼에 비하여 근장과 근중이 컸다. 4. 잡종 F$_1$의 ginsenosides 함량은 대부분이 고려인삼과 미국삼의 중간 정도였으나, 양친보다 Re는 많았고 Rg$_1$, Rg$_2$ 는 적게 정량 분석되었으며, Rf가 고려인삼에서는 검출되었으나 미국삼 및 F$_1$잡종식물체에서는 검출되지 않았다.

The effects of panaxytrion as known to be a cytotoxic substance isolated from Panax ginseng on the immune responses were examined. The i.p. administration of panaxytriol to normal mice for 6 consecutive days as doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg suppressed the increase of body weight dose-dependently but did not affect the weight ratio of immunoorgans to body weight, No significant changes were observed in the humoral immune responses as measured by Arthus reaction and plaque forming cells and in the cellular immune response as measured by delayed hypersensitivity as well as phagocytic activity of reticuloendotherial system. These results suggested that panaxytriol, a cytotoxic substance to cancer cells, has no detrimental effects on the immune function in normal mice.

식물조직배양기술을 이용하여 사포닌 함량이 높은 인삼 root를 생산하고자, 인삼 root의 생장과 사포닌생산에 미치는 배지와 식물생장조절물질의 영향을 조사하였다. 인삼 root를 여러 종류의 배지에 배양하였을 때, 인삼 root의 생장과 사포닌 생산은 SH배지에서 가장 우수하였고, SH배지에 배양시, 접종후 약 10일후에 생체중량이 초기접종량의 2배가 되었다. 각 배지별로 배양한 인삼 root의 진세노사이드 패턴과 함량은 다소 차이가 있었는데, SH배지와 White배지에서 성장한 인삼 root의 총진세노사이드 함량이 가장 높았다. 생장조절물질에 있어서는 4.0mg/L NAA를 함유한 SH배지에서 성장한 인삼 root의 생장이 가장 우수하였고, 사포닌 함량은 0.5mg/L BAP 처리구에서 가장 높았다. 이러한 결과들은 인삼 root 배양에 의해 사포닌을 단기간에 생산할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고 있다.

Endophytic fungi were isolated from various tissues (root, stem, petiole, leaf, and flower stalk) of 3- and 4-year-old ginseng plants (Panax ginseng Meyer) cultivated in Korea. The isolated endophytic fungi were identified based on the sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), 1-5.8-ITS 2. A morphological characterization was also conducted using microscopic observations. According to the identification, 127 fungal isolates were assigned to 27 taxa. The genera of Phoma, Alternaria and Colletotrichum were the most frequent isolates, followed by Fusarium, Entrophospora and Xylaria. Although 19 of the 27 taxa were identified at the species level, the remainder were classified at the genus level (6 isolates), phylum level (Ascomycota, 1 isolate), and unknown fungal species (1 isolate). Endophytic fungi of 13 and 19 species were isolated from 3- and 4-year-old ginseng plants, respectively, and Phoma radicina and Fusarium solani were the most frequently isolated species colonizing the tissues of the 3- and 4-year-old ginseng plants, respectively. The colonization frequency (CF%) was dependant on the age and tissue examined: the CFs of the roots and stems in the 3-year-old ginseng were higher than the CF of tissues in the 4-year-old plants. In contrast, higher CFs were observed in the leaves and petioles of 4-year-old plants, and endophytic fungi in the flower stalks were only detected in the 4-year-old plants. In conclusion, we detected diverse endophytic fungi in ginseng plants, which were distributed differently depending on the age and tissue examined.

The objective of this study was to investigate antioxidant activities of freeze-dried, main root, and fine root of ginseng (Panax ginseng CA. Meyer), which were extracted with various solvents including ethanol, methanol, and water. Ethanol extracts in both parts showed the most powerful scavenging activities against DPPH radicals. Especially, ethanol extract of fine root had higher reducing power and antioxidant capacity than that of main root. The highest antioxidant activity in linoleic acid emulsion system was also observed in fine root extracted with ethanol, followed by methanol and water. Both ferrous ion chelating activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of extracts were increased with the increase of extracts concentration. These results suggest that ethanol extract of fine root of ginseng has the most effective antioxidant capacity compared to the methanol and water extracts tested in the present study. Thus it can be applied for the effective extraction of functional material from ginseng for the usage of pharmaceutical and/or food industries.

Paclitaxel is produced by various species of yew trees and has been extensively used to treat tumors. In our research, a taxadiene synthase (TS) gene from Taxus brevifolia was used to transform the roots of cultured ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) to produce taxadiene, the unique skeletal precursor to taxol. The TS gene was successfully introduced into the ginseng genome, and the de novo formation of taxadiene was identified by mass spectroscopy profiling. Without any change in phenotypes or growth difference in a TS-transgenic ginseng line, the transgenic TSS3-2 line accumulated $9.1{\mu}g$ taxadiene per gram of dry weight. In response to the treatment of methyl jasmonate for 3 or 6 days, the accumulation was 14.6 and $15.9{\mu}g$ per g of dry weight, respectively. This is the first report of the production of taxadiene by engineering ginseng roots with a taxadiene synthase gene.
