  • The chemical conversion pattern of salvianolic acid B (Sal B) in aqueous solution under different boiling conditions was compared. When the duration of boiling was varied, without varying temperature or pressure, the content of chemically converted compounds (CCCs) was mostly increased over time. In addition, under different conditions of temperature and pressure with the same boiling time, the content of a few compounds increased with increasing temperature and pressure. These results confirmed that high temperatures and pressures in boiling alter the final composition of CCCs of Sal B. Therefore, it was suggested that the boiling conditions (time, temperature, and pressure) may be responsible for alteration of biological activities of the compounds. Our investigation of the chemical conversion of compounds contained in foods and medicinal herbs may provide important information in clarifying the biological activity of Sal B containing foods and medicinal herbs.

  • This study was performed to investigate the antioxidative activity of solvent (water, 50% ethanol, and 100% ethanol) extracts from five kinds of medicinal herbs Cutellaria baicalensis Georgi; SB, Paeonia lactiflora Pall.; PA, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge; SM, Phellinus linteus; PH, Morus alba L.; MA). The total content of phenolic compounds was highest in the 50% ethanol extract from PH (280.05 mg/g), the 100% ethanol extract from PH (308.88 mg/g), and the water extract from SM (80.27 mg/g). The total content of flavonoids was highest in the 50% ethanol extract from SB (62.71 mg/ml), the 100% ethanol extract from SB (64.59 mg/ml), and the water extract from SM (35.85 mg/ml). ACE inhibitory activity only occurred in the water extracts, and it was highest in the water extract from SB (45.33%). Cholesterol adsorption activity was higher in the SB and PA extracts than in the other extracts. In water extracts, SM showed the highest antioxidative activity. Among the 50% and 100% ethanol extracts, DPPH radical scavenging activity and FRAP were highest in the PH extract, and ABTS radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in the PA extracts. Seven types of compositions were prepared with different mixing ratios of 0.2 to 2.0 from relatively high-activity medicinal herbs, such as PH, SM and PA. The total phenolic and flavonoid compound contents of the compositions were 50.53-61.96 and 16.91-33.81 mg/ml, respectively. Cholesterol adsorption activity was 46.27-70.03%.

  • To develop new therapeutic materials to prevent hair loss and enhance hair growth, we developed a medicinal herbal complex extract (MHCE) using 23 herbs traditionally used in oriental medicine. Medicinal Herbal complex extract was consist of Angelica gigas Nakai, Psoralea corylifolia Linne, Biota orientalis Endlicher, and Eclipta prostrata Linne, Rehmannia glutinosa Liboschitz var. purpurea Makino, Ligustrum lucidum Aiton, Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg, and Sesamum indicum Linne, Sophora angustifolia Sieboldet Zuccarini, Angelica dahurica Benthamet Hooker, and Leonurus sibiricus Linne, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Prunus persica Batsch, Commiphora molmol Engler, Chrysanthemum indicum Linne, Boswellia carterii Birdwood, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, Cnidium officinale Makino, Albizia julibrissin Durazzini, and Corydalis ternata Nakai that have traditionally been used for treating hair loss, preventing gray hair, anti-inflammation, and blood circulation in oriental medicine. In addition, we examined the hair growth effect of MHCE in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, we evaluated the effects of MHCE on cultured HFDPC, HaCaT cells, and murine embryonal fibroblasts (NIH3T3 cells). Also, we evaluated the ability of MHCE to prevent gray hair on murine melanoma cells (B16F1 cells). The hair growth-promoting effect of MHCE in vitro was also observed in vivo using C57BL/6 mice. Our results showed that MHCE significantly increased the proliferation of HFDPC (175 % proliferation at $50{\mu}g/mL$), HaCaT cells (133 % proliferation at $20{\mu}g/mL$), and NIH3T3 cells (120 % proliferation at $50{\mu}g/mL$). MHCE also showed consistent melanogenesis in B16F1 cells (154 % melanin synthesis at $50{\mu}g/mL$). Moreover, MHCE showed potential for hair growth stimulation in C57BL/6 mice experiments (98 % hair growth area on 4 weeks). These results indicate that MHCE may be a good candidate for promotion of hair growth.
