The present study aims to detect the rare flavonoids isolated from the leaves of Persicaria glabra. The known flavonoids: quercetin (1), isorhamnetin (2), avicularin (3) and new one isorhamnetin-3-O-α-L-(6''-E-p-coumaroyl)-rhamnoside (4) were identified by HPLC, UV, IR and NMR. P. glabra has used traditionally for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties. To find out the ingredients responsible for the efficiency of this plant, we have used to study the anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory activities of different extracts.

Quercetin is a flavonoid usually found in fruits and vegetables. Aside from its antioxidative effects, quercetin, like other flavonoids, has a various neuropharmacological actions. Quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (Rham1), quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (Rutin), and quercetin-3-(2(G)-rhamnosylrutinoside (Rham2) are mono-, di-, and tri-glycosylated forms of quercetin, respectively. In a previous study, we showed that quercetin can enhance ${\alpha}7$ nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (${\alpha}7$ nAChR)-mediated ion currents. However, the role of the carbohydrates attached to quercetin in the regulation of ${\alpha}7$ nAChR channel activity has not been determined. In the present study, we investigated the effects of quercetin glycosides on the acetylcholine induced peak inward current ($I_{ACh}$) in Xenopus oocytes expressing the ${\alpha}7$ nAChR. $I_{ACh}$ was measured with a two-electrode voltage clamp technique. In oocytes injected with ${\alpha}7$ nAChR copy RNA, quercetin enhanced $I_{ACh}$, whereas quercetin glycosides inhibited $I_{ACh}$. Quercetin glycosides mediated an inhibition of $I_{ACh}$, which increased when they were pre-applied and the inhibitory effects were concentration dependent. The order of $I_{ACh}$ inhibition by quercetin glycosides was Rutin${\geq}$Rham1>Rham2. Quercetin glycosides-mediated $I_{ACh}$ enhancement was not affected by ACh concentration and appeared voltage-independent. Furthermore, quercetin-mediated $I_{ACh}$ inhibition can be attenuated when quercetin is co-applied with Rham1 and Rutin, indicating that quercetin glycosides could interfere with quercetin-mediated ${\alpha}7$ nAChR regulation and that the number of carbohydrates in the quercetin glycoside plays a key role in the interruption of quercetin action. These results show that quercetin and quercetin glycosides regulate the ${\alpha}7$ nAChR in a differential manner.

본 연구는 구아바 잎 추출물의 항산화 성분 분석 및 tyroinase와 elastase 저해 효과에 관한 조사를 수행하였다. 추출물의 free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성 $(FSC_{50})$은 50% 에탄올 추출물$(7.05{\mu}g/mL)$ < ethyl acetate 분획 (3.36) < 당을 제거시킨 플라보노이드 aglycone 분획 (3.24) 순으로 증가하였다. Luminol-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 구아바 잎 추출물의 총 항산화능은 50% 에탄을 추출물$(OSC_{50},\;2.17{\mu}g/mL)$ (ethyl acetate분획(0.64) < aglycone분획(0.39) 순으로, aglycone 분획에서 가장 큰 환성을 나타내었다. 구아바 잎 추출물에 대하여 rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 억제 효과를 측정하였다. 구아바 잎 추출물의 경우 $1{\sim}10{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 광용혈을 억제하였다. 특히 당을 제거시킨 플라보노이드 aglycone 분획은 $1{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 ${\tau}_{50}$이 107.5 min으로 매우 큰 세포보호 효과를 나타내었다. 구아바 잎 추출물 중 ethyl acetate 분획의 당 제거 반응 후 얻어진 aglycone 분획은 TLC와 HPLC (360 nm)에서 1개의 피이크로 나타났으며, 그 성분이 quercetin 임을 확인하였다. 구아바 잎 추출물의 ethyl acetate 분획의 TLC 크로마토그램은 5개의 띠로 분리되었고, HPLC 크로마토그램도 5개의 피이크를 나타내었다. TLC와 HPLC의 띠와 피이크를 확인한 결과, HPLC의 5개의 피이크는 용리순서로 피이크 1 (10.32 %)은 quercetin 3-O-gentobioside, 피이크 2 (13.30 %)는 quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (isoquercitin), 피이크 3 (11.34 %)는 quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-galactoside (hyperin), 피이크 4 (19.70%)는 quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinoside (guajavarin) 피이크 5 (45.33%)는 quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-L-rhamnoside (quercitrin)로 확인되었다. 미백 및 주름억제 효과측정으로는 각파 tyrosinase 및 elastase의 활성 저해 효과를 측정하였다. Tyrosinase의 활성 저해 효과$(IC_{50})$는 50% 에탄올 추출물 $(149.67{\mu}g/mL)$ (ethyl acetate분획(30.67) < aglycone 분획(17.10) 순으로 나타났으며, elastase의 활성 저해 효과 $(IC_{50})$는 50% 에탄올 추출물$(6.60{\mu}g/mL)$ < aglycone 분획(5.66) < ethyl acetate 분획(3.44) 순으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 구아바 잎 추출물리 $^1O_2$ 혹은 다른 ROS를 소광시키거나 소거함으로써 그리고 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리키며, 구아바 잎 성분에 대한 분석과 ethyl acetate분획의 당 제거 실험 후 얻어진 aglycone분획의 elastase 저해활성은 구아바 잎 추출물이 주름개선 기능성 화장품원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

Antifungal activities of natural substrances from Eucalyptus darlympleana, E. globules, E. gunnii and E. unigera were evaluated against postharvest pathogens of kiwifruits, Botrytis cinerea, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Diaporthe actinidiae, to screen effective natural substances as an alternative to chemical fungicides. Methanol extract of the Eucalyptus trees showed strong antagonistic activity against the pathogenic fungi. Among them, E. unigera and E. darlympleana effectively inhibited mycelial growth of the pathogens. For chemical identification of the antifungal substances, the methanol extract of E. darlympleana leaves was successively partitioned with $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$. Among the fractions, $CH_2Cl_2$ and n-BuOH showed strong inhibitory activity of mycelial growth of the fungi. Five compounds were isolated from EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions subjected to $SiO_2$ column chromatography. Two phenolic compounds(gallic acid and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) and three flavonoid compounds(quercetin, quercetin-3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnoside, quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-glucoside) were identified by $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy. Among them, only gallic acid was found to be effective in mycelial growth and spore germination of B. cinerea at relatively high concentrations. The results suggest that gallic acid can be a safer and more acceptable alternative to current synthetic fungicides controlling soft rot decay of kiwifruit during postharvest storage.

The herbs of Orostachys japonicus (Crassulaceae) have been used to treat gastric cancer, gastric ulcer or hemorrhage. Flavonoid glycosides, mainly kaempferol (Kp)- and quercetin (Qc) glycosides, have been isolated from O. japonicus; however, no quantitative information on those flavonol glycosides and no peroxynitritescavenging activity of the Orostachys extracts have been reported. In this study, Kp- and Qc glycosides were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in eight Orostachys and a Meterostachys species including O. japonicas, O. margaritifolius, O. chongsunensis, O. minuta, O. ramosus, O. malacophylla, O. latiellipticus, O. iwarenge, O. iwarenge for. magnus, and Meterostachys sikokiana distributed or cultivated in Korea. Distinctively, O. margaritifolius contained two flavonol 3,7-di-O-glycosides of Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside and Kp 3-rhamnosyl-7-glucoside, but O. japonicus had two flavonol 3-O-rutinosides, Kp 3-rutinoside and Qc 3-rutinoside. The three species of O. margaritifolius (24.36 mg/g MeOH extract), O. japonicus (21.28 mg/g), and O. minuta (19.50 mg/g) showed relatively higher flavonoid contents. The flavonol glycosides were analyzed using eight standard compounds (Kp, Qc, Qc 3-O-rhamnoside, Qc 3-O-glucoside, Kp 3- O-rutinoside, Qc 3-O-rutinoside, Kp 3-O-rhamnosyl-7-O-glucoside, Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside). The present HPLC method was validated to verify the linearity, precision, and accuracy. In addition, the peroxynitrite-scavenging activity was also discussed.
