To evaluate the antioxidant and anti-neuroinflammatory effects of defatted Perilla frutescens extract (DPE) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells. Cell viabilities were estimated by MTT assay. LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia were used to study the expression and production of inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO), inducible NO synthase (iNOS), Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$). Pretreatment with DPE prior to LPS treatment significantly inhibited excessive production of NO (10, 25, 50, 75, and $100{\mu}g/mL$) in a dose-dependent manner, and was associated with down regulation of expression of iNOS and COX-2. DPE also suppressed the LPS-induced increase in $PGE_2$ level (10, 25, 50, 75, and $100{\mu}g/mL$) in BV-2 cells. Therefore, DPE can be considered as a useful therapeutic and preventive approach for the treatment of several neurodegenerative diseases.

본 연구에서는 식물 종자들 중에서 특히 $\alpha$-linolenic acid의 급원으로 대표적인 아마씨와 들깨를 중심으로 Ames 실험을 이용한 돌연변이 유발 및 인체 암세포 증식 억제 효과에 대해 비교 검토하였다. 간접돌연변이 $AFB_1$ (0.7 mg/plate)에 대해 들깨 메탄올 추출물은 농도의 증가와 더불어 돌연변이 억제효과가 증가하였다. 첨가농도 2.5 및 5 mg/plate일 때 각각 86% 및 94%의 돌연변이 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 아마씨 메탄올 추출물의 경우도 첨가농도 2.5 및 5 mg/plate일 때 각각 74% 및 75%의 항돌연변이 효과를 보였다. 직접 돌연변이인 MNNG (0.6 mg/plate)에 대한 들깨 및 아마씨 메탄올 추출물의 항돌연변이성 실험을 한 결과, 첨가농도 1.25 mg/plate일 때부터 활성이 나타나 5 mg/plate 일 때는 각각 78, 63%의 돌연변이 억제 효과를 나타내었다. S. typhimurium TA100 균주에 대한 $AFB_1$과 MNNG의 돌연변이 유발실험에서 두 가지 종자인 들깨와 아마씨는 직접돌연변이원에 대해서보다는 간접돌연변이원에 의해 유발된 돌연변이 저해에 더 효과적이었으며 들깨에 의한 항돌연변이 효과가 더 우수하였음을 관찰할 수가 있었다. 한편, 아마씨 메탄올 추출물을 0.5, 1, 2 mg/ml의 농도별로 인체 위암세포(AGS)에 처리했을 때 농도 의존적으로 암세포 증식 억제 효과가 증가하여 1 mg/ml 첨가농도에서 64%의 암세포 성장 억제 효과를 보였고, 2 mg/ml 농도에서 79%의 높은 암세포 증식 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 들깨 메탄올 추출물의 경우도 아마씨 메탄올 추출물과 유사하게 농도의존적으로 암세포의 증식을 억제시켰으며 첨가농도 2 mg/ml일 때 68%의 증식 억제효과를 살펴 볼 수가 있었다. 인체 결장암세포(HT-29)의 경우, AGS 세포에 처리했을 때처럼 아마씨 메탄올 추출물은 첨가농도 0.5 mg/ml에서부터 활성을 타나내어 첨가농도 2 mg/ml에서는 72%의 암세포 증식 억제효과를 나타내었다. 들깨 메탄올 추출물의 경우 첨가농도 0.5 mg/ml에서는 43%의 억제효과를 나타내었으나 첨가농도 2 mg/ml에서는 64%로 결장암세포의 증식을 억제시켰다. 인체 간암세포(Hep 3B)에 의한 증식 억제효과는 이상의 암세포에 대한 효과보다 다소 낮았으나 아마씨 및 들깨 메탄올 추출물은 첨가농도 2 mg/ml에서 각각 65% 및 59%의 저해효과를 나타내었다.

We investigated the variations of the flowering response to daylength in Perilla crop (var. frutescens). Seventeen accessions of Perilla crop and one accession of weedy type of var. crispa from China, Korea and Japan were cultivated under three daylength conditions, i.e., short-days, natural daylength and long-days. Most accessions of Perilla crop from China, Korea and Japan were divided into three types, early maturing type, intermediate maturing type and late maturing type by their natural flowering habit. In most of the accessions used, the flowering habit was significantly accelerated by short-day conditions and was delayed by long-day conditions. All the accessions of Perilla crops flowered within 57 days under the 10 hrs light treatment, whereas they did not flower at all even at 170 days after sowing under the 16 hrs light treatment. Thus, this finding suggested that there is a relationship between the types of flowering response to daylength and the geographical distribution which determines the planting season in traditional cultivation practices of Perilla crops. Positive correlation was observed between days to flowering and plant height or internode number in both the short-day and natural daylength conditions. Whereas, correlation was negative between days to flowering and inflorescence length or floret number in natural daylength condition, but it was positive in the short-day condition. Therefore, the daylength condition is considered as the most important environmental factor for flowering habit and morphological characters of Perilla crops. Flowering habit is considered as an important key character for the study of geographical differentiation of Perilla crop in East Asia.

The antioxidant activity of roasted defatted perilla (Perilla frutescens) seed was determined by measuring its radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, inhibitory activity on total reactive oxygen species generation in kidney homogenates using 2',7'-dichlorodihydro-fluorescein diacetate, and scavenging effect on authentic peroxynitrites. The methanolic extract of roasted defatted perilla seed showed strong scavenging activity in both DPPH and peroxynitrite radicals, and thus fractionated with several solvents. The antioxidant activity potential of the individual fraction was in the order of ethyl acetate>n-butanol>dichloromethane>water>n-hexane fraction. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction exhibiting strong antioxidant activity was further purified by repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Luteolin was isolated as one of the active principles from the ethyl acetate fraction, together with the inactive chrysoeriol and apigenin.

The objectives of this present study were to compare the contents and determine optimum extraction conditions for the rosmarinic acid (RA) and caffeic acid (CA) from leaves of Korean Perilla frutescens varieties. RA and CA from leaves of cv. Bora, a breeding line of P. frutescens were isolated and elucidated using various spectroscopic data. On the basis of 2 phenolic acids, optimum extraction conditions were obtained by employing 50% EtOH for 60 min at $25^{\circ}C$. We reported for the first time on the contents of RA and CA from leaves of 32 Korean varieties. Among them, leaves of P. frutescens Brit. var. acuta Kudo I exhibited the highest RA content ($8.53{\pm}0.57$ mg/g) and CA content ($2.33{\pm}0.11$ mg/g) showed the highest in the P. frutescens Brit. var. viridis Makino. Interestingly, average RA content ($2.66{\pm}0.17$ mg/g) showed a markedly higher than that of CA ($1.98{\pm}0.16$ mg/g) in Korean varieties. These results suggest that concentrations of the RA and CA in P. frutescens leaves could be a key factor in the selection process of a high quality species.

To evaluate the effectiveness of AMF on the growth of horticultural crops, we compared mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants, perilla (P. frutescens Britt.), that were inoculated with AMF propagules. In the early stages of growth of perilla, compared to the AMF- perilla seedlings, in AMF+ perilla seedlings at 3 weeks after sowing, leaf length and width increased 17% and 29%, leaf area increased 28%, and shoot fresh weight increased 33%, root total length increased 1%, and chlorophyll content increased 3%. Further at 10 weeks after sowing, compared to the AMF- perilla plants, in perilla plants inoculated with AMF at the sowing and transplanting stages, leaf area increased 21% and 19%, shoot length increased 19% and 17%, root fresh weight increased 17% and 20%, and chlorophyll content increased 5.1% and 4.8%, respectively. Moreover, at 14 weeks after sowing, compared to the AMFperilla plants, in perilla plants inoculated with AMF at the sowing and transplanting stages, the number of leaves increased 16% and 20%, root fresh weight increased 16% and 17% significantly. Further, leaf fresh weight increased 9% and 11%, shoot diameter increased 4.5% and 7.3%, and chlorophyll content increased 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively. The levels of many macronutrients and micronutrients were tended to be significantly higher in AMF+ plants than in AMF- plants, supporting the association between AMF and enhanced growth of plants grown from AMF+ seedlings.

In order to better understand the morphological differentiation of the two cultivated types of Perilla crop and their weedy types in Korea and Japan, we studied the variation of 62 accessions by examining 15 morphological characteristics. By using ANOVA (one-way analysis of variance), we determined that var. frutescens and var. crispa showed significant morphological differences in terms of plant height and seed weight. Furthermore, cultivated var. frutescens and var. crispa could also be clearly discriminated from one another using PCA (principal component analysis). Specifically, quantitative and qualitative characteristics such as plant height, seed weight, degree of pubescence, shape of leaf, color of leaf, fragrance of plant, color of flower, color of stem and seed size greatly contributed to differences seen in the positive and negative direction on the first axis. In our study, most accessions of cultivated var. frutescens and those of its weedy type could be clearly discriminated from one another, however, most accessions of cultivated and weedy types of var. crispa were not clearly discriminated by the ANOVA and PCA analyses. These results indicated that cultivated var. frutescens can be considered to be a domesticated form, while the cultivated var. crispa can not be considered to be a domesticated form in Korea and Japan. It is our belief that our results concerning the morphological variations among cultivated types of Perilla crop and their weedy types in Korea and Japan will help ensure the long-term success of breeding programs and maximize the use of the germplasm resources in Korea.

To characterize phytonutrients, the seeds of 12 purple Perilla (Perilla frutescens var. crispa) accessions collected from Korea and Japan were used for quantitative analysis of tocopherols, phytosterols, squalene and fatty acids. The average tocopherol, squalene and phytosterols contents were 12.2 mg $100g^{-1}$, 3.99 mg $100g^{-1}$ and 77.20 mg $100g^{-1}$, respectively. Among 4 tocopherol (T) isomers (${\alpha}$-T, ${\beta}$-T, ${\gamma}$-T, and ${\delta}$-T), ${\gamma}$-T was present in the highest quantity (11.03 mg $100g^{-1}$) with the least variation (CV = 13.7%), while ${\beta}$-T was present in lowest quantity (0.25 mg 1$100g^{-1}$). Compared to campesterol (4.36 mg $100g^{-1}$) and stigmasterol (13.32 mg $100g^{-1}$), ${\beta}$-sitosterol exhibited higher quantity (59.51 mg $100g^{-1}$) with 9.5% of variation. The major fatty acids were unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic (61.5%), linoleic (17.3%), and oleic (9.9%) acids compared to saturated ones: palmitic (7.6%) and stearic (3.7%) acids. When Korean and Japanese accession were compared, almost no difference in content could be observed, while more variation as evaluated by CV (%) could be observed in Japanese accession in most phytonutrients suggesting wider genetic variation of purple Perilla in Japan. Presence of all above-mentioned phytonutrient compounds strongly suggested health beneficial value of purple Perilla seeds.

In the present study, we have evaluated cytotoxic effects of the chloroform soluble fraction of the methanolic extract of Perilla frutescens in human oral epitheloid carcinoma cells. The light microscopic study showed morphological changes of the treated cells. Cell membrane damaging activity was measured by the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay and disruptions in cell organelles were determined by 3-(4,5-dime-thylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), neutral red (NR) and sulforhodamine protein B (SRB) of colorimetric assay. These results suggest that Perilla frutescens retains a potential antitumor activity.
