This study was focused on the evaluation of radical scavenging effect and the protective activity against oxidative stress of the extract and fractions from Petasites japonicus. P. japonicus was extracted with methanol and then fractionated into 4 fractions [n-butanol, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), methylene chloride, and n-hexane]. The extract and fractions showed strong 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity. Among all the fractions, particularly, the EtOAc fraction showed the strongest effect with the $IC_{50}$ value of $0.02{\mu}g/ml$. In addition, the fractions also showed strong hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and nitric oxide scavenging activity as well. Furthermore, cell viability generated by the P. japonicus extract and 4 fractions were examined under C6 glial cellular model. The C6 glial cells showed high generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decrease in cell viability by the treatment generator of hydrogen peroxide. However, the production of ROS formation was decreased by the treatment of the fractions of P. japonicus and also founded that the EtOAc fraction led to significant increase in the cell viability at concentration $100{\mu}g/ml$. Results from this work indicated that P. japonicus showed protective effects against oxidative stress and its EtOAc fraction may be served as a useful natural antioxidant.

발아에 의한 거대배아미와 유색미의 기능성 변화를 항산화 활성에 중심을 두고 조사하였다. 전반적으로 환원력은 일반현미보다 거대배아미와 유색미가 높았고, 발아처리는 환원력을 증가시키는 경향이 있었다. 지질과산화에 대한 억제효과를 조사한 결과, in vitro의 linoleic acid peroxidation system 및 ex vivo의 토끼 적혈구 막지질 과산화 system 모두에서 억제효과도 유색미가 가장 높았고, 그 다음이 거대배아미, 일반현미의 순서로 나타났다. Superoxide radical에 대한 소거활성은 유색미>거대배아미>일반현미의 순서로 낮아졌으며, 무발아 조건과 비교할 때 발아처리는 라디칼에 대한 소거활성을 증진시켰다. Hydroxyl radical 소거활성도 유색미가 가장 높았으며, 그 다음이 거대배아미, 일반현미의 순서였다. 발아에 의하여 일반현미의 hydroxyl radical 소거활성을 급격히 증가되었지만, 발아미간에 소거활성의 순위는 변하지 않았다. In vitro에서 조사된 ROS 소거활성과 같은 경향이 HL-60 세포에서 TPA로 자극으로 발생된 ROS에 대한 소거활성에서도 나타났다. 실험 결과, 유색미와 거대배아미에서는 발아와 연관되어 세포독성의 증가가 발견되지 않는 차별적인 ROS 소거활성의 증가 현상이 발견되었다.

In this study, the cellular protective effect, antioxidative property and component analysis of Euphorbia humifusa extracts were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction ($3.68\;{\mu}g/mL$) and aglycone fraction ($3.15\;{\mu}g/mL$) of Euphorbia humifusa extract showed prominent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity ($FSC_{50}$). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity ($OSC_{50}$) of Euphorbia humifusa extract on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$ system was investigated using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The ethyl acetate fraction ($0.43\;{\mu}g/mL$) and aglycone fraction ($0.35\;{\mu}g/mL$) of extract showed higher ROS scavenging activity than L-ascorbic acid ($1.50\;{\mu}g/mL$). The cellular protective effects of fractions of Euphorbia humifusa extract on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction and aglycone fraction of extract protected cellular membranes against ROS in a concentration dependent manner ($5{\sim}25\;{\mu}g/mL$), and was more effective than (+)-${\alpha}$-tocopherol, lipid peroxidation chain blocker. Aglycone fraction from Euphorbia humifusa extract showed 2 bands in TLC and 2 peaks in HPLC. In HPLC chromatogram of aglycone fraction, peak 1 and peak 2 were identified as quercetin and kaempferol, respectively. And these components are very effective as antioxidant. Thus, these results indicate that fractions of Euphorbia humifusa extracts can function as antioxidant in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging $^1O_2$ and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. Fractions of Euphorbia humifusa extracts can be applicable to new functional cosmetics for antioxidant.

In this study, the antioxidative effects and inhibitory effects on tyrosinase and elastase of Sorbus commixta (S. commixta) twig extracts were investigated. The aglycone fraction of S. commixta twig extract showed the prominent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity($FSC_{50}$, $13{\mu}g/mL$). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities of S. commixta twig extracts on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ system were investigated by the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The 50 % ethanol extract among extracts showed the most prominent ROS scavenging activity ($OSC_{50}$, $0.189{\mu}g/mL$). The cellular protective effects of extract/fractions of S. commixta twig on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The 50 % ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction showed the cellular protective effects against ROS in a concentration dependent manner ($5{\sim}50{\mu}g/mL$). The inhibitory effect of S. commixta twig extract on tyrosinase was investigated to assess the whitening efficacy. The ethyl acetate ($IC_{50}$, $113.2{\mu}g/mL$) and aglycone fraction($IC_{50}$, $105.3{\mu}g/mL$) on tyrosinase showed more remarkable inhibitory effect than arbutin($IC_{50}$, $226.88{\mu}g/mL$), known as the whitening agent. The inhibitory effect of aglycone fraction ($IC_{50}$, $6.9{\mu}g/mL$) on elastase was simillar to quercetin($IC_{50}$, $6.1{\mu}g/mL$), flavonoid known as reference compound. These results indicate that extract/fractions of S. commixta twig can function as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging $^1O_2$ and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. S. commixta twig extracts can be applicable to new functional cosmetics for anti-aging products.

본 연구는 가미수미원(백하수오 10 g,; 당귀 6 g; 구기자 8 g; 화피 6 g; 선태 3 g; 홍화 2 g)에 방기(Sinomenium acutum R.) 4 g의 첨가 여부에 따라 각각 열수추출물은 GS±SC(DW), 80% 에탄올 추출물은 GS±SC(EtOH)로 표기 하였다. 각 추출물은 항산화를 측정하기 위해 다음과 같은 연구를 수행하였다. HPLC를 통한 방기 지표물질 함량측정, 중금속 검사 기준 측정, ABTS/DPPH 라디칼 소거능 측정, SOD 유사 활성능 측정, ROS 및 NO 생성량을 측정하였다. 방기 지표물질 중 sinomenine의 함량은 열수 추출물에서, decursin은 에탄올 추출물에서 더 높게 확인되었다. 중금속 측정 결과 기준치 적합으로 확인되었다. ABTS/DPPD 라디칼 소거능을 측정한 결과 GS+SC(EtOH)의 소거능이 가장 높게 나왔으며, 상대적으로 열수보다 에탄올 추출이 라디칼 소거율이 높게 확인되었다. 그러나 SOD의 경우 열수 추출에서 상대적으로 유사 활성능이 높게 확인되었다. ROS 생성의 경우 열수 추출물이 에탄올 추출에 비해 유의하게 감소시켰으며, NO의 생성은 에탄올 추출물이 상대적으로 더 유의하게 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과에서 GS+SC(EtOH)이 라디컬 소거능 및 NO 감소를 높게 나타낸 것으로 확인되어 산화적스트레스 후, 생성된 활성산소의 제거에 좀 더 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. 향 후 지속적인 효능 심화 연구를 통해 조성물을 활용한 화장품 및 기능성 원료의 소재로서의 가능성이 높을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality variation of Lithospermum radix on the pigment contents and antioxidant activities according to different growth stages and areas of cultivation. Acetylshikonin contents showed the tendency to decrease gradually from the middle of July (0.28%) to the end of August (0.05%) and then the content was increased again to the end of October (0.25%). Shikonin content was detected as small amount of about 0.009% during the period. The weight of plants was increased from the end of September to the end of October and showed the highest value as 19.8 g on October 25. ROS scavenging activity was the highest in the early of October as $IC_{50}$ value of 0.11 ${\mu}g/mL$. Lithospermum radix of September showed lower ROS scavenging activities than those of other growth stages as $IC_{50}$ value of 1.02 and 0.49 ${\mu}g/mL$ on September 9 and September 27, respectively. Among 17 areas cultivated Lithospermum radix, 10 areas (59%) showed 0.05-0.10% of acetylshikonin contents and 3 areas (18%) were measured to contain 0.16-0.26% of acetylshikonin.

This study was designed to analyze the effects of methanol extracts and solvent fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica on scavenging activity of ROS, RNS and inhibiting activity of oxidative modification in human LDL induced by copper ion or free radical generator. The scavenging capacities of the fractions on DPPH radical, superoxide radical, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite were exhibited the highest in ethylacetate fraction, followed by butanol fraction. In the copper-induced LDL oxidative modification system, the highest antioxidant activity was revealed in ethylacetate fraction, and butanol fraction exhibited a similar activity. However, solvent fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica showed a relatively low antioxidant activity in the AAPH-mediated LDL oxidation. In addition, ethylacetate and butanol fractions also inhibited the copper-mediated LDL oxidation in the REM assay, which was comparable to that of the positive controls, including EDTA, ascorbic acid and BHT. Futhermore, a content of total phenolics in these two fractions was higher than that of the other fractions. These results indicated that ethylacetate and butanol fractions of the young branch of Prunus persica were useful for the prevention of the free radical- or metal ion-induced oxidative damages.

In the aged skin especially in the face and eyelid, deep and slight wrinkles are one of the remarkable phenomena of aging and the cause of wrinkle is various. Among the cause of wrinkles an oxidative stress plays an important roles in wrinkle formation process. It caused the lipid peroxidation of cell membrane, the increase of the MMPs(MatrixMetalloProteinase) gene expression and cellular DNA damage. These ROS induced materials may cause the degradation of collagen matrix system in the dermis and cause the formation of skin wrinkle. So, it is very important for protecting skin wrinkle formation to regulate ROS activity. In this study, we developed one active ingredient having multi functional activities such as activation of collagen synthesis, inhibition of MMPs activity, lipid peroxidation and free radical scavenging activity and inhibition of free radical induced DNA damage in vitro. Pericarpium castaneae extracts showed collagen synthesis increase in Normal Human Fibroblast and the inhibition of elastase activity (IC$\_$50/ of Elastase: 43.9$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖). It showed also anti-oxidative activity (IC$\_$50/ : 48$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖) and free radical scavenging activity(IC$\_$50/: 7.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎖). Conclusively, Pericarpium castaneae extracts may be used as an ingredient for new anti-wrinkle cosmetics.
