항혈전 효능을 탐색하기 위하여 한약재의 호장근 추출물로 혈전 용해능 활성과 혈액 응고시간 지연효과 즉 PT(prothrombin time), APTT(activated partial thromboplastin time)와 혈소판 응집억제 활성 등에 대해 항혈전 효능을 평가하였다. 혈전용해도를 측정하는 fibrin plate가 용해되어 형성된 투명환의 넓이를 측정하는 실험을 진행한 결과 혈전 용해도가 농도의존적으로 탁월한 효능을 나타내었다. 혈액응고 cascade에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 혈액 응고시간 지연 및 단축 효과를 확인하고자 APTT와 PT에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 PT의 경우 대조군보다 단축됨을 보였다. APTT의 경우 농도의존적으로 우수한 지연효과를 보였다. 혈소판의 응집에 따라 형성되는 두 전극 사이에 형성된 전기적 저항의 변화로 나타나는 실험을 시행한 결과 호장근의 ADP로 유도한 결과에서 뛰어난 응집억제 활성을 보였다. 따라서 호장근을 향후에 혈전 질환의 치료제 개발에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose : Polygonum cuspidatum extract is an oriental herb which has been used for uterine diseases. In this study, the effects of Polygonum cuspidatum extract were investigated on inducing growth inhibition and apoptosis of human uterine cervical carcinoma cells. Methods : Viability of Polygonum cuspidatum extract-induced ME-180 cells was measured by MTT assay. Apoptotic cells were visualized by EtBr/AcOr staining under fluorescent microscope. Nucleosomal DNA fragmentation was assayed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Cell cycle distribution and changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were observed by flow cytometry. Results : Polygonum cuspidatum extract induced ME-180 cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In the cells treated with Pc, the population of cells at sub-G1 phase significantly increased, and the condensed nuclei, apoptotic bodies and nucleosome-sized DNA were detected. Moreover, reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential was detected. Conclusion : Polygonum cuspidatum extract inhibits the growth and proliferation of ME-180 cells by apoptotic induction and facilitates its activity initiated by depolarization of mitochondria.

Polygonum cuspidatum which is widely distributed in Korea has been used as treatments of dermatitis, gonorrhea and inflammation in traditional medicine. We examined anti-inflammatory activities by the inhibition of NO production in RAW264.7 murine macrophages cells. Phytochemical examination of Polygonum cuspidatum led to the isolation and characterization of emodin (1), emodin 8-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2), emodin 1-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3). Antioxidative activities of these compounds were determined by measuring the radical scavenging effects on DPPH radicals. Compounds 1 and 3 showed potent activities compared with L-NMMA. These results suggested that the antraquinone compounds isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum might be used as antiinflammatory agents.

Polygonum cuspidatum has been used as treatments of dermatitis, gonorrhea, inflammation, and hyperlipidaemia in traditional medicine. We examined liver protective effect on CCl$_4$ inducing hepatotoxicity and anti-oxidative activity by TBA method. Phytochemical examination of Polygonum cuspidatum led to the isolation and characterization of emodin 8-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (compound 1), and trans-resveratrol 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (compound 2). Compounds 1 and 2 enhanced the inhibition of anti-lipid peroxidative effects in liver homogenate. In chemical parameters obtained from serum analysis, compounds 1 and 2 also revealed significant decrease in hepatotoxicity. These results suggested that the antraquinone and stilbene which were isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum might be used as therapeutic agent of hepatitis.

Objectives : This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Polygonum cuspidatum extract on several skin functions including inflammation and wrinkle formation. Methods : To investigate in vitro anti-oxidant activity assay, ethanol extracts of medicinal plants tested by DPPH method. In the next experiment, to investigate anti-inflammatory test, the RAW 264.7 macrophage cells was cultured using DMEM including the 10% FBS. To study anti-allergic effect, we blended cultured Human Mast Cells(HMC-1), and then observe $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-8 by ELISA Results : Polygonum Cuspidatum extract has the effects of anti-inflammation and anti-allergy, which may be due to its inhibitory potential on the macrophage activation. Furthermore, Polygonum Cuspidatum extract has the anti-wrinkle effects through the inhibitory potential on the collagnease, elastase and gelatinase activities. Conclusions : The above results suggest that Polygonum Cuspidatum extract could be applicable for improvement of several skin functions.

In this study, the dyeing of silk fabric with Polygonum cuspidatum extracts was investigated. The contents of this study are as follows. First, the proper dyeing conditions were investigated by measuring the dye uptake (K/S value) that depended on the dyeing conditions when silk fabric was dyed with Polygonum cuspidatum extract. Second, the brightness (L), hue, and chroma differences that appear after mordanting with Al, Cu and Fe were investigated by measuring the CIELAB and Munsell values. And third, the colorfastness and antibacterial property were measured. When the silk fabric was dyed with Polygonum cuspidatum extract, the proper dyeing conditions were a colorant concentration of 90% v/v, a dyeing of time 100 minutes, a dyeing temperature of $70^{\circ}C$, and a dyeing of pH 3. In mordanting methods, the dyeabilities of post-mordanting were higher than those of premordanting. The hue value displayed yellow (Y) and yellow-red (YR) in cases of pre and post mordanting. The C value decreased by the mordanting of Polygonum cuspidatum extracts. Generally the colorfastness of mordanted fabrics was improved by mordanting. The dyed fabrics showed a 90.6% of Staphylococcus aureus reduction rate, and the dyed and mordanted fabrics showed 97.1% bacteria reduction rate. The dyed and mordanted fabrics showed above 90.5% Klebsiella pneumoniae reduction rate, and Cu mordant revealed the most effective bacterial reduction.

In Korea, two species of Ho-chang-Ho-chang $(Polygonum\;cuspidatum \;S_{IEB}.\;et\;Z_{UCC}.)$ and Wang-Ho-chang $(Polygonum \;sachalinense\;F_R.\;S_{CHM}.)$-had been identified, but the components of the leaves of Polygonum species growing in Korea had never been reported. The authors examined the anatomical characteristics of Korean Polygonum species, identified the flavonoids contained in their leaves and obtained the following results: Korean Polygonum species should be divided into three species: $Polygonum\;cuspidatum\;S_{IEB}.\;et\;Z_{UCC}.,\;P. \;sachalinense\;F_R.\;S_{CHM}\;and\;P.\;elliptica\;M_{IGO}$. The last one was illustrated in the report. P. cuspidatum contained reynoutrin and quercitrin, but no isoquercitrin could be identified. P. sachalinense also contained both reynoutrin and quercitrin. P. elliptica, which had never been studied, included the same flavonoids.

Lipid lowering properties from three plant water extracts, Rosa rugosa, Crataegus pinnatifida and Polygonum cuspidatum, were tested by supplementing a 1% high-cholesterol diet with them in rats. Plasma triglyceride levels in Rosa fugosa, Crataegus pinnatifida and Polygonum cuspidatum groups were significantly lower compared to that of the control. by 29% , 24% and 47% respectively. hepatic trigylceride levels in Rosa rugosa and Crataegus pinnatifida groups were significantly lower compared to the control by 11% and 15% respectively. Hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity in Rosa rugosa group was significantly greater compared to the control by 406%. Hepatic ACAT activity was significantly lower in Polygonum cuspidatum group compared to the control by 28%. by multiple regression results, only plasma cholesterol was associated significantly (p<0.05) with liver HMG-CoA reductase activity. Plasma cholesterol explained 12% of thevariance of the liver HMG-CoA redctase activity. In conclusion, we have showen that hot water extracts from Rosa rugosa, Crataegus pinnatifida and Polygonum cuspidatum lowered plasma triglycerides in rats fed on a high-cholesterol diet. Data suggests that these extracts could potentially prevent or treat hypertriglyceridemia induced by a high fat diet and fatty liver.

Polygonum cuspidatum which is widely distributed in Korea has been used as treatments of dermatitis, gonorrhea, favus athlete's foot, hyperlipidemia and inflammation in traditional medicine. We examined anti-oxidant and antiinflammatory activity by measuring DPPH radical scavenging activity and the inhibition of IFN-${\gamma}$ and LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells. We isolated and characterized resveratrol (1), trans-resveratrol 3-O-${\beta}$-Dglucopyranoside (2). Compounds 1 and 2 showed potent activities compared with L-NMMA ($N^G$-monomethyl-L-arginine). These results suggested that the stilbene compounds isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum might be used as antiinflammatory agents.
