본 연구는 각종 기능성을 함유하고 있는 차조기의 소비 증대와 부가가치 증대를 위하여 채취 시기별 차조기의 성분변화를 조사하였다. 수확 시기는 2005년 7월14일에서 2005년 9월2일 까지 총4회(I, II, III, IV)로 나누어 일반성분, 중금 속, 무기질, 아미노산, perillaldehyde, anthocyanin 성분을 분석하였다. 환원당의 함량은 수확시기에 따라 계속 증가하였으나 조단백질, 조지질, 총 아미노산 함량은 III차(8월15일) 채취시기 이후 급격히 감소하였다. 중금속(As, Pb, Cd, Hg)은 모든 처리구에서 감지되지 않았다. 무기질은 Zd, Fe, Mg는 III차 수확시기 이후 감소하였으나, Ca, K, P 함량은 수확시기에 따라 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Perilladehyde는 I 차 0.36% II차 0.42%, III차 0.45%, IV차 0.35%를 각각 나타냈다. Anthocyanin는 함량은 I차 0.53%, II차 1.15%, III차 1.21%, IV차 0.87%를 나타냈다.

The enzyme steroid $5{\alpha}-reductase$ is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into the most potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In man, this steroid acts on a variety of androgen-responsive target tissues to mediate such diverse endocrine processes as male sexual differentiation in the fetus and prostatic growth in men. Androgen levels in the prostate may influence carcinogenesis in this organ. The use of a $5{\alpha}-reductase$ inhibitor, finasteride, in the chemoprevention of prostate cancer is being evaluated in a clinical trial and have been used successfully for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Therefore, for the discovery of $5{\alpha}-reductase$ type 2 inhibitors, we have evaluated the inhibitory effects of solvent fractionated extracts of natural products on $5{\alpha}-reductase$ type 2 activity. We have tested approximately 80 kinds of natural products after partition into n-hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous layers from 100% methanol extracts of plants. The ethyl acetate fractions of Perilla sikokiana $(seed,\;IC_{50}\;:\;6.2\;ug/ml)$, Sophora flavescens $(root,\;IC_{50}\;:\;8.9\;ug/ml)$, and Angelica tenuissima $(root,\;IC_{50}\;:\;11.7\;ug/ml)$ revealed inhibitory effects on $5{\alpha}-reductase$ 2 activity in LNCaP cells. The effective ethyl acetate fractions of Perilla sikokiana, Sophora flavescens, Hydnocarpus anthelmintica, and Angelica tenuissima were subfractionated by column chromatography and tested. The subfractions $F4\;(IC_{50}\;:\;1.1\;ug/ml),\;F5\;(IC_{50}\;:\;2.0\;ug/ml),\;and\;F6\;(IC_{50}\;:\;5.8\;ug/ml)$ of the ethyl acetate fraction of Perilla sikokiana and the subfraction $F8\;(IC_{50}\;:\;5.3\;ug/ml)$ of the ethyl acetate fraction of Sophora flavescens displayed greater inhibition of $5{\alpha}-reductase$ type 2 than did finasteride in LNCaP cells. These active fractions are under the process of further sequential fractionation to find the effective pure compounds against $5{\alpha}-reductase$ 2 activity.

백하수오와 자소엽의 추출조건을 다르게 하여 제조한 추출물 및 추출물 혼합액의 항산화, 항당뇨 및 항비만 활성을 조사하여 기능성 식품소재로서의 이용 가능성을 검토하였다. 총페놀 함량은 백하수오가 발효주정 추출물(CW100)에서 $15.74{\pm}0.69mg/g$, 자소엽이 발효주정과 물의 등량혼합액 추출물(PS50)에서 $39.37{\pm}3.46mg/g$으로 가장 많았다. 항산화 활성은 각각의 추출물을 1 mg/mL의 농도로 처리하였을 때 DPPH 소거 활성은 CW100과 PS50에서 각각 $79.79{\pm}0.79%$와 $82.69{\pm}1.07%$, ABTS 소거 활성은 CW 100과 PS50에서 각각 $80.20{\pm}2.86%$와 $75.00{\pm}1.78%$였다. FRAP 활성은 1 mg/mL의 농도로 처리하였을 때 자소엽이 $82.055{\pm}0.17{\sim}87.660{\pm}0.52%$의 활성을 나타내었다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase 저해 활성은 백하수오가 CW50에서 $51.56{\pm}0.56{\sim}59.2{\pm}1.13%$로 가장 높았으며, 자소엽이 PS0에서 $46.70{\pm}0.32{\sim}66.17{\pm}0.55%$로 가장 높게 나타났다. 3T3-L1 전지방세포의 분화 억제 효과는 CW100에서 $29.49{\pm}2.98%$, PS50에서 $23.31{\pm}0.61%$를 나타내었으며, CW100-PS50의 전지방세포 분화 억제 효과는 $43.03{\pm}1.63%$로 각각의 생약 추출물에 대한 효과보다 상당히 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼 때 백하수오와 자소엽은 항산화, 항당뇨 및 항비만 효과와 관련된 음료의 소재로 이용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Constitutive cyclooxygenase (COX-I) is present in cells under physiological conditions, whereas inducible cyclooxygenase (COX-II) is induced by some cytokines, mitogens, and endotoxin presumably in pathological conditions such as inflammation. We have evaluated the inhibitory effects of solvent fractionated extracts of natural products on the activities of COX-I and COX-II. Oxygen uptake COX assay was performed, as a primary screening from the tissue extracts of bovine seminal vesicles (BSV), by monitoring the initial rate of oxygen uptake using an oxygen electrode. Additionally, we evaluated plant extracts for the inhibitory effects of COX-I (in HEL cells) and COX-II (in lipopolysaccharide activated J774A.1 macrophages) using thin layer chromatography of prostanoids produced from $^{14}C-labelled$ arachidonic acid (AA). The use of such models of COX-I and COX-II assay will lead to the identification of specific inhibitors of cyclooxygenases with presumably less side effects than present therapies. Inhibitory effects of 50 kinds of plant extracts on the COX-I and COX-II activities were determined and the active fractions were found in the ethyl acetate fractions of Dryopteris crassirhizoma (roots), Amomum cardamomum (roots), Triticum aestivum (seeds), Perilla sikokiana (leaves), Anemarrhena asphodeloides (roots). Especially, the ethyl acetate fraction of Dryopteris crassirhizoma (roots), which exhibited the strong inhibition against BSV COX $(IC_{50},\;65.4\;{\mu}g/ml)$, COX-I $(IC_{50},\;8.5\;{\mu}g/ml)$, and COX-II $(IC_{50},\;17.2\;{\mu}g/ml)$, is under investigation to isolate active principles using activity-guided fractionation method.

We studied the total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition of water extracts from 17 medicinal plants. Total polyphenol contents ranged from 10.0 (Coix lachryma-jobi L, CL) ~ 279.7 (Perilla sikokiana, PS)mg/g. The water extract from medicinal plants were evaluated for its free radical scavenging activities and compared with a commercial antioxidant, ascorbic acid. DPPH radical scavenging activity of Pyrus pyrifolia (PP), Chamaecyparis obtusa L. (COL), Chamaecyparis obtusa F. (COF), and PS were higher than positive control. Higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were shown in Acanthopanax senticosus (AS) and Cordyceps militaris (CM) than the other plants. The highest anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was observed in Cornus officinalis (CO) and Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews (PSA) water extracts. PSA showed not only the higher DPPH radical scavenging activity but also the anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity. The results of our study that PP, COL, COF, PS, AS, CM, CO and PSA could be potential candidates for natural antioxidants.

본 연구에서는 동충하초, 자소엽, 단삼, 전칠, 명월초 물 추출물이 당대사 관련 효소인 GCK(glucokinase), PDH(pyruvate dehydrogenase) 및 ACC(acetyl CoA carboxylase) mRNA 발현 정도에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. GCK mRNA 발현은 동충하초 물 추출물을 250 ppm로 처리했을때 181%로 가장 높게 증가되었다. PDH mRNA 발현은 100 ppm에서 명월초(215%)> 단삼(193%)> 전칠(125%)> 동충하초(111%)의 순으로 증가되었으며, 250 및 500 ppm에서는 각각 명월초(251%)와 동충하초(210%) 물 추출물에서 높게 나타났다. ACC mRNA 발현은 자소엽, 단삼, 전칠의 경우 대조구보다 낮거나 유사한 수준을 나타내었지만, 동충하초 물 추출물은 대조구와 비교하여 100 ppm에서 141%, 250 ppm에서 284%로 크게 증가되었다. 명월초 물 추출물은 187~199% 범위에서 ACC mRNA 발현을 크게 증가시켰다. 결과적으로 동충하초와 명월초 물 추출물이 다른 소재들에 비해 간의 GCK, PDH, ACC mRNA 발현을 증가시킴으로써 혈당강하 작용을 나타낼 것으로 판단하였다.
