The objective of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the fruits of Ligustrum japonicum. The crude extract was successively fractionated into n-hexane, 85% aqueous methanol (85% aq.MeOH), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water fractions by means of solvent polarity. The crude extract and its solvent fractions were evaluated for their antioxidant effect by four different assay systems: scavenging power on peroxynitrite and intralcellular ROS produced in HT-1080 cells; DNA oxidation inhibition; ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The n-BuOH fraction exhibiting potent antioxidant activity was further purified by C18 silica gel column chromatography and RP-HPLC to give tyrosol (1) and salidroside (2). The structure of isolated compounds was determined by extensive 2 D NMR experiments such as $^1H$ COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC as well as by comparison with the published spectral data.

Carboxyrrethyl cellulose CM32 (Whatman Biochemical Ltd.)로 조제한 TNP-cellulose에 대하여 섬유소 분해효소의 활성도 측정을 위한 기질로서의 특성을 검토하였다. 섬유소 분해효소에 의한 TNP-cellulose의 가수분해는 Michaelis-Menten kinetics에 의하였으며, 그 분해의 위치가 amide결합이 아니고 섬유소 부분임을 확인하였다. 효소원이 다른 세가지 섬유소 분해효소 (Onozuka R-10 from Trichoderma viride; Cellulase II from Aspergillus niger; cell-free enzyme from Cellulomonas sp.)의 활성도를 TNP-cellulose를 기질로 하여 측정할때 그 반응조건을 기왕의 환원당 측정법과 비교해 보면: 반응 온도의 범위에는 변화가 없었으나, pH범위는 여러 효소에서 다소 넓어짐으로서 TNP-cellulose를 기질로 할때 수소이온의 영향을 적게 받음을 확인하였다. TNP-cellulose를 기질로 사용한 활성도 측정방법은: 세가지 효소 모두 일정 농도의 범위에서 활성도와 비례관계가 성립함으로서 효소원이 다른 여러 섬유소 분해효소에 적용할 수 있으며; 기왕의 DNSA법에 의한 환원당 측정법보다 감도가 높았고; 그 활성도의 값은 기왕의 환원당 측정법이나 점성도 측정법에 의한 결과와 대체로 비례적이었으나, 효소의 종류에 따라서 점성도 측정법의 결과와 반드시 일치하지는 않음으로서, 순수한 endo-효소의 활성도 측정을 위한 특이적인 방법이 되지 못함을 알수 있었다.

The present study describes the preliminary evaluation of the antioxidant activities and the neuroprotective effect of methanolic extracts from Psoralea corylifolia Linne (PCE). The antioxidant activities and neuroprotective effect of the PCE were evaluated by total phenolic contents (TPC), DPPH radical scavenging activity (RSA), reducing power (RP), MTT reduction assay, and LDH release assay. TPC, DPPH RSA, and RP of the extract at concentration of 100 ${\mu}g$ was 125.93 ${\mu}g$, 63.81%, 0.138, respectively, and those were concentration dependent. The treatment of PC12 and N18-RE-105 cells with various PCE concentrations under $H_2O_2$ resulted in the induction of protective effect in a dose-dependent manner, as determined by the results of an MTT reduction assay and LDH release assay. Therefore, these results suggest that PCE could be a new potential candidate as an antioxidant against neuronal diseases.

In the current study, wheat flour was mixed with high quality cassava flour (HQCF) in several ratios: 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40, and used to prepare 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI) cassava bread, respectively. 100% wheat bread was prepared as a control (100% wheat bread). Five bread samples were prepared per group. Antioxidant assays [i.e., 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging assay, reducing power assay] revealed that the bread samples had considerable antioxidant capacities. Substitution of wheat flour with HQCF at various concentrations resulted in dose dependent decreases in the mineral and protein contents of the resulting bread samples. The crude fiber content of the bread samples was minimal, while the carbohydrate content of the bread samples ranged from 43.86% to 48.64%. A 20% substitution of wheat flour with HQCF yielded bread samples with a general acceptability that was comparable to that of 100% wheat bread. The mean bacteria counts of the bread samples ranged from $2.0{\times}10^3CFU/mL$ to $1.4{\times}10^4CFU/mL$, while the fungal counts ranged from 0 CFU/mL to $3{\times}10^3CFU/mL$. There was a positive correlation between the DPPH antioxidant activities and the reducing powers of the bread samples ($R^2=0.871$) and a positive correlation between the DPPH antioxidant activities and the flavonoid contents of the bread samples ($R^2=0.487$). The higher microbial load of the NRCRI cassava bread samples indicates that these bread samples may have a shorter shelf life than the 100% wheat bread. The significant positive correlation between total flavonoid content and reducing power ($R^2=0.750$) suggests that the flavonoids present in the lipophilic fractions of the bread samples could be responsible for the reductive capacities of the bread samples.
