A cytotoxic coumarin against L1210 cell was isolated from the unripe fruit of Poncirus trifoliata ($ED_{5}$) = 10.2 $\mu$ g/ml. Its structure was identified as aurapten, 7-geranyloxycoumarin. Hydrolysis of the substance gave umbelliferone and geraniol. Only geraniol showed the cytotoxic activity ($ED_{53}$ = 6.5 $\mu$g/ml) while umbelliferone and its methyl or allyl derivatives were not active.

Methanol extracts from 51 fruits were tested for their fungicidal activities against six phytopathogenic fungi in a greenhouse. The efficacy varied with both the plant pathogen and fruit species used. At 10 and 5 mg/pot, methanol extracts of Poncirus trifoliata peel and seed gave over 80% control values against Pyricularia grisea, and strong fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani were showed from the extracts of Citrus paradisi peel and Punica granatum leaf. In a test with Botrytis cinerea at 5 mg/pot, the extracts of C. sinensis seed and D. kaki leaf produced potent fungicidal activities, and the extracts of C. crenata peel and leaf, Ch. sinensis seed, P. trifoliata peel, and Z. jujuba leaf had strong fungicidal activities. At 5 mg/pot, strong fungicidal activities were produced in the extracts of P. trifoliata peel and seed against Phytophthora infestans and in the extracts of P. ussriensis var. macrostipes fruit and seed, C. crenata peel, C. crenata leaf, C. paradisi peel, P. trifoliata peel, P. granatum peel, and Z. jujuba leaf against Puccinia recondita. In a test with E. graminis, potent activities at 10 mg/pot were produced from the extracts of Ch. sinensis seed, C. sinensis seed, P. trifoliata leaf, P. ussriensis var. macrostipes fruit and seed, and Vitis vinifera seed. In the control effect of seven extracts against B. cinerea strains resistant to carbendazim, procymidone, and diethofencarb, extracts of C. crenata peel and leaf, Ch. sinensis seed, and P. trifoliata peel were highly effective against all strains of B. cinerea. Furthermore, potent fungicidal activities were produced from the extracts of C. sinensis seed and D. kaki leaf against the SSR, SRR, and RRS, and Z. jujuba leaf against the SSR and RRS strains. As a naturally occurring fungicide, these fruit-derived materials could be useful as new fungicidal products against phytopathogenic fungi.

The identification of compounds with anti-senescence activity in cell culture system is a first step in aging research. Given that pyruvate can be used energy source by conversion to acetyl-CoA in mitochondria, and protects cultured cell from various stress-induced cell damage and cell death, synthetic media (e.g., DMEM) often includes 1 mM pyruvate, which is very higher than the pyruvate concentration in human blood (approximately 30 ��M). However, the use of medium containing high concentration of pyruvate is not suitable for screening anti-senescence compounds, because pyruvate also protects against the cellular senescence of primary human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) through NAD+ generated during conversion to lactate. In this study, four extracts, i.e., Sprouted seed and fruit complex, Poncirus trifoliata fruit extract, Jaum balancing complex, and Prunus mume extract were used for evaluation of different anti-senescence effect in the absence or presence of 0.1 mM pyruvate, similar to the physiological pyruvate concentration. The senescence in NHDFs cultured with DMEM in the presence of 0.1 mM pyruvate (approximately the physiological concentration in human blood) is accelerated, as observed in pyruvate deprivation conditions. The cytotoxicity of the Poncirus trifoliata fruit extract was protected by pyruvate, and Jaum balancing complex and Prunus mume extract had anti-senescence activity in the presence of 0.1 mM pyruvate, but not in the absence of pyruvate. Given that pyruvate is a powerful protector against both cytotoxicity and cellular senescence, the screening of candidate agents for anti-senescence in high pyruvate conditions using an in vitro cell culture system is not valid. Therefore, we recommend the use of a low concentration of pyruvate to evaluate the anti-senescence effects of candidates, which is more similar to in vivo aging conditions than excessive stress-induced senescence models, to exclude the effect of excessive pyruvate in vitro.

Objective: To find biological functions such as antibacterial and antioxidant activities in several tropical plants and to investigate the possibility of antibiotic substitute agents to prevent and treat diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. Methods: Plants such as Poncirus trifoliata fruit (Makrut), Zingiber officinale Rosc (Khing), Areca catechu L. (Mak), Solanum melongena L. I (Makkhuayao), and Solanum melongena L. II (Makhurapro) were extracted by methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. The free radical scavenging activities were measured using 2-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl photometric assay. Antibacterial activities with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were observed by agar diffusion assay against pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, Haemopilus parasuis, Clostridium perfringens, and Pantoea agglomerans. Results: Poncirus trifoliata fruit methanol extract showed antibacterial activities against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens. Additionally, this showed the strongest antibacterial activity against Burkholderia sp. and Haemopilus somnus with MIC $131{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Areca catechu L. water extract showed antibacterial activities against Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, and Haemopilus parasuis. The MIC value for Haemopilus parasuis was $105{\mu}g/mL$ in this. Antioxidant activity of Zingiber officinale Rosc n-hexane extract showed 2.23 mg/mL effective concentration 50% ($EC_{50}$) value was the highest activity among tropical plants extracts. Total polyphenol content in Zingiber officinale Rosc methanol extract was $48.4{\mu}g/mL$ and flavonoid content was $22.1{\mu}g/mL$ showed the highest values among tested plants extracts. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that tropical plants used in this study may have a potential benefit as an alternative antibiotics agent through their antibacterial and antioxidant activities.

Objective : To investigate the effect between Fructus Immaturus Ponciri (FIP, the immature fruit of Poncirus trifoliata) and Fructus Ponciri (FP, the ripe fruit of Poncirus trifoliata) on mast cell-mediated immediate-type allergic reactions. Methods : We performed anaphylactic reaction, histamine release, cAMP, $TNF-{\alpha}$, IgE. Results : The aqueous extract of FIP dose-dependently inhibited systemic and local allergic reaction was induced by compound 48/80 or anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE in a murine model. FIP also significantly inhibited mast cell-dependent ear swelling response induced by topical application of compound 48/80. When mice were orally pretreated with FIP, the plasma histamine levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. FIP dose-dependently inhibited histamine release from the rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMCs) was activated by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE. The level of cAMP in RPMCs, when FIP was added, increased compared with that of a normal or control. In addition, FIP had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-induced tumor necrosis factor-a ($TNF-{\alpha}$) production from the RPMCs and IgE produced by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated murine whole spleen cells or U266B1 as human IgE-bearing B cells. However, FP showed the lower inhibition rate than those of FIP in above all allergic reactions. Conclusion : These data have important implications for our understanding of the clinical effects of FIP and FP on allergic diseases, and FIP is more effective than FP on the allergic reaction.

본 연구에는 최근 항비만 소재로 연구되고 있는 건조, 미숙탱자의 물 추출물 (PF-W) 소재를 대상으로 폴리페놀 ($52.15{\pm}4.02mg/g$)과 플라보노이드 ($6.56{\pm}0.47mg/g$) 함량을 측정하고 항산화 활성과 세포독성을 시험한 후, 지방 흡수 제어 가능성을 확인하고자 lipoprotein lipase (LPL)의 억제효능을 배양배지와 세포 내의 LPL 함량, LPL mRNA 발현 그리고 LPL 효소활성측정을 통해 검토하였다. 그 결과 PF-W은 3T3-L1 adipocyte에서 LPL mRNA의 발현과 활성에는 영향이 없었으며, LPL의 분비를 억제하는 것을 알 수 있었다. PF-W의 LPL 분비억제기작을 확인하기 위해 다양한 단백질 이동 관련 유전자의 발현을 확인하였고, 그 결과 LPL의 이동과 분해에 관여하여 세포내 LPL의 활성을 조절하는 것으로 알려진 SorLA의 발현이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 조절하는 transcription factor의 발현과 세포핵으로의 이동에 PF-W가 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 PF-W를 처리함으로써 SorLA promoter 에 작용하는 $C/EBP{\beta}$의 단백질양이 세포핵에서 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 PF-W가 SorLA 유전자의 transcription factor인 $C/EBP{\beta}$의 단백질 발현을 세포핵에서 증가시킴으로써 SorLA의 발현이 증가되어 LPL의 분비억제가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었으며 이는 PF-W의 항비만 효과기전을 설명하는 기초자료를 제공하는 것이라 사료된다.

A cytotoxic sesquiterpene against L1210 cell has been isolated from the root of Curcuma domestica. Its structure was identified as ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$. The cytotoxicity-potentiating substance was (+)-ar-turmerone. (+)-ar-Turmerone potentiated the cytotoxicity of ${\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$(5 fold in $ED_{50}$ value) and an unknown sesquiterpene which was isolated from the root as well, and that of aurapten(6.3 fold) isolated from the unripe fruit of Poncirus trifoliata. Moreover, it potentiated the cytotoxic activities of MeCCNU 10 fold and cyclophosphamide 10 fold. Except the fact that all the effective cytotoxic substances possess relatively good lipophilicity, no relationship between structures of the cytotoxic substances and the cytotoxicity-enhancing effect of (+)-ar-turmerone could be observed.
