Korean folk medicine 'Man Byung Cho' has been used to cure abdominal pain, athlete's foot and neuralgia. The botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of 'Man Byung Cho', the leaf morphology and anatomy were examined for the Korean species of Rhododendron subgenus Hymenanthes, such as R. brachycarpum G. Don, R. brachycarpum var. rosueum Koidz. and R. aureum Georgi. The study shows that 'Man Byung Cho' is the leaf of R. brachycarpum and R. brachycarpum var. roseum.

Rhododendron brachycarpum is a evergreen broad-leaved shrub and belongs to the Ericaceae family and the Rhododendron genus. It is well known for its beautiful leaves and flowers. There are 11 species of the Rhododendron genus in Korea. It includes 3 species - Rhododendron brachycarpum, Rhododendron aureum Georgi and Rhododendron brachycarpum var. roseum Koidz. They grow naturally over 1,000 meters above sea level of the Baekdu Mountain Range in Korea. These habitats, according to investigations of 9 Rhododendron brachycarpum natural habitats, are mostly located on the slope of mountains facing north at an altitude of 1,200 m to 1,526 m above sea level with angle of inclination from 30 degrees to 45 degrees. Based on the result of vegetation analysis of dominance species in the quadrates, there are Quercus aliena, Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb, Abies holophylla in species of upper trees, and so on. Dominant species of woody plants in tree layer are Quercus aliena, Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb, Abies holophylla, Betula platyphylla and Veeatrum patulum Loes. fil, Erythronium japonicum, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Paeonia japonica var. glabra Makino are founded in herbaceous plants. And we can see another result of the investigation that the flowering rates of the plants with the buds are highly ranked mountains such as Mt. Hambaek 68%, Mt. Gyebang 40%, Mt. Yagksu 9%, Mt. Gaein 7% and Mt. Seolag 0%. The results show that there are 24 over 15-year-old Rhododendron brachycarpums in Mt. Odae and are 56 under 15-year-old trees in Mt. Hambaek and are no trees in Mt. Gyebang and are 9 over 30-year-dead trees only in Mt. Taebaeg. Out of found trees, the highest tree is 7 m in height and 0.6 m in diameter. Also this result shows what are the vulnerability factors of the natural habitats. They are as follows: indiscriminate trails in mountains, damages by mountain climbers, uncareful plant collecting, the fierce competitions with other plants such as Acer pseudosieboldianum var. ishidoyanum Uyeki, Quercus aliena, Celastrus orbiculatus and damages by disease and insect, unusual temperature in natural habitats, etc. Rhododendron brachycarpums have high ornamental value and excellent pharmaceutical effect. But the areas of its habitats decrease dramatically. So we need measures to protect and their natural habitats. It is necessary that we conductfurther investigations to designate conservation area for Rhododendron brachycarpums.

본 연구에서는 만병초 95% 에탄올추출물의 항산화 효과를 조사하였다. 총항산화 활성은 ABTS 라디칼에 대한 항산화능으로 측정하였다. 만병초 추출물 0.2 및 1 mg/mL의 총 항산화능은 각각 0.33 및 2.26 mM Trolox와 동등한 수준이었다. 만병초 추출물 0.2 및 1 mg/mL의 superoxide 소거능은 각각 45.0 및 77.0%이었다. 만병초 추출물 5 및 100 ${\mu}g/mL$의 산소라디칼 소거능은 각각 40.88 및 131.00 ${\mu}M$ Trolox와 동등한 수준이었다. 만병초 추출물 0.2 및 1 mg/mL의 총페놀 함량은 각각 0.37 및 1.25 mM gallic acid와 동등한 수준이었다. 또한, HepG2 세포주를 이용한 세포배양에서 만병초 추출물 0.1 mg/mL 농도의 첨가는 0.2 및 0.5 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide로 유도된 세포독성을 각각 52.1 및 30.3% 감소시켰다. 따라서, 본 연구 결과들은 만병초 추출물의 강력한 항산화 효과와 세포독성 억제 효과를 나타내며, 이러한 효능은 적어도 자유라디칼의 산화 억제와 높은 총페놀 함량에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

From the methanol extract of Rhododendron brachycarpum four triterpenes, three phenylpropanes and a diterpene alkaloid were isolated. Their structures were identified as glutinol (1), 3$\beta$-hydroxyurs-12-ene (2), $\beta$-sitosterol (3), (E)-P-hydrox-ycinnamic acid hexadecylester (4), (-)-rhododendrol (5), (+)-rhododendrol (6), 3$\beta$-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (7) and gray-anotoxin I (8) by spectroscopic methods. Compound 8 showed moderate cytotoxicity against five cultured human tumor cell lines with $ED_{50}$ values of $3.21\~4.05 {\mu}g/ml$. The other compounds were of marginal activity against the tested cell lines.

Historically, the common folk have made use of various wild herbs for both food and medicinal purposes. However, the misuse of these wild herbs can lead to adverse consequences, including severe poisoning in some cases. In cases of poisoning from wild herbs, patients can exhibit a variety of symptoms depending on the herbs involved, which in addition to gastrointestinal symptoms may include hemodynamic alteration and abnormal neurologic signs. In the present case, two patients were admitted to the emergency room with symptoms of toxicity after consuming Rhododendron brachycarpum liquor. Rhododendron brachycarpum and other wild herbs contain the toxic material grayanotoxin. Because of its serious toxic symptoms, great caution must be exercised in using rhododendrons for food and medicinal purposes.

본 연구는 만병초 개체군을 식물사회학적 방법으로 군락을 분류하고, 토양을 분석하였으며, 식생과 환경과의 상관관계를 밝히고자 분포서열법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 만병초 개체군은 주로 한반도 백두대간의 고산지대와 울릉도에 분포하고 해발고는 872~1466m의 높이에 위치하고 있다. 만병초 개체군은 회솔나무 우점개체군, 함박꽃나무 우점개체군, 눈측백 우점개체군, 만병초 전형개체군으로 분류되었다. 토양의 이화학적 특성을 분석한 결과 유기물함량은 10.45~15.28%, 전질소함량 0.37~0.61%, 치환성 $K^+$는 $0.21{\sim}0.35cmol^+/kg$, $Ca^{2+}$는 $0.39{\sim}2.54cmol^+/kg$, $Mg^{2+}$는 $0.17{\sim}0.50cmol^+/kg$, 양이온치환용량 $18.28{\sim}22.81cmol^+/kg$이며, 토양 pH는 4.66~5.23인 것으로 조사되었다. DCCA를 이용한 만병초 개체군의 식생과 환경요인과의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 해발고도가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 군락별 입지 특성은 회솔나무 우점개체군이 사면경사가 급하고 양료 중 전질소와 유기물함량이 낮은 지역에 분포하였고, 회솔나무 우점개체군에 비해 함박꽃 우점개체군과 눈측백 우점개체군은 사면경사가 낮고 전질소와 유기물의 양료가 높은 입지에 분포하였다. 눈측백 우점개체군은 해발고와 노암율이 높은 곳에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 만병초의 자생지는 약초채집으로 인한 훼손으로부터 취약한 상태이다. 따라서 개체군의 생육특성 파악과 자생지의 보전을 위한 구체적인 대책 마련이 요구된다.
