Scutellaria pinnatifida A. Hamilt. (Lamiaceae) is an endemic Turkish herb. This plant is also endemic to Iran, and grows abundantly in other central and western Asian countries. Several species of the Scutellaria are known for their traditional uses in the treatment of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, inflammatory diseases, hepatitis, allergy, cancer and diarrhoea. Free-radical-scavenging property, antibacterial activity and brine shrimp toxicity of the n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH) extracts of S. pinnatifida were assessed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the resazurin microtitre plate based assay, and the brine shrimp lethality assay, respectively. The DCM and MeOH extracts exhibited free-radical-scavenging property, with the $RC_{50}$ values of 0.362 and 0.127 mg/ml, respectively. Among the solid-phase extraction fractions of the MeOH extract, the 50% aqueous-MeOH fraction showed the highest level of free-radicalscavenging activity ($RC_{50}$ = 0.039 mg/ml). While the DCM extract showed low level of antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli, the MeOH extract was active against B. cereus, B. subtilis, E. coli and ampicillin-resistant E. coli. However, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the MeOH extract against these bacterial strains were >10 mg/ml. None of the extracts showed any significant toxicity towards brine shrimps ($LD_{50}$ = > 1.00 mg/ml).

한국에서 자생하는 125종의 식물에서 추출한 141가지 메탄을 추출물들에서 식품부패미생물인 Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes 그리고 Pseudomonas aeruginosa에 대한 항균 활성도를 조사하였다. Bacillus subtilis에 대해 가장 강한 항균력을 보인 것은 오미자였으며 Staphylococcus aureus에 대해서 대황이, Pseudomonas aeruginosa에 대해서는 산사가 가장 강한 항균력을 나타냈다. 금은화는 Bacillus subtilis를, 산사는 Staphylococcus aureus를, 모과와 황금은 Pseudomonas aeruginosa를, 모감주나무꽃, 밤나무꽃, 장미꽃과 파꽃은 Enterobacter aerogenes를, 오미자는 Escherichia coli를 제외한 나머지 4가지 균주에 모두 항균력이 있었다.

본 연구에서는 전통적으로 질병치료와 예방의 목적으로 사용되어온 약용식물 10종을 선정하여 총 페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량과 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 약용식물의 총 페놀 함량을 측정한 결과 화피 추출물이 320.10 mg/g, 갈근이 153.93 mg/g으로 높게 나타났으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 화피 추출물이 226.25 mg/g, 황금 추출물이 101.98 mg/g으로 높았다. 약용식물 중 가장 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 나타낸 시료는 화피로 $IC_{50}$ $5.39{\mu}g/mL$를 나타냈으며, 그 다음으로 헛개나무($IC_{50}$ $24.87{\mu}g/mL$), 오가피($IC_{50}$ $27.79{\mu}g/mL$) 순으로 높게 나타났다. 아질산 소거 활성 측정결과 헛개나무가 $IC_{50}$ $173.96{\mu}g/mL$, 화피 추출물이 $IC_{50}$ $167.94{\mu}g/mL$로 비슷한 활성을 나타내었다. $Superoxide^-$ 라디칼 소거능과 $ABTS^+$ 라디칼 소거능에서는 화피와 오가피가 유의적으로(p<0.001) 높은 소거능을 보였다. 환원력에 대한 흡광도 값을 측정한 결과는 10종의 약용식물 중에서 화피 추출물이 2.72의 흡광도를 나타내어, 양성대조군인 비타민C의 3.04과 비교해도 크게 뒤떨어지지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과 화피, 헛개나무, 오가피 추출물은 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량이 높고, 항산화 활성도 높게 나타나 식품첨가물 및 식품보존제 등 기능성 소재로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

To increase antioxidant and antibacterial activities of seasoned soy sauce, five kinds of oriental medicinal plant(Scutellaria baicalensis (P1), Coptis japonica makino (P2), Citriunshius pericarpium (P3), Zizyphi spinosi semen (P4), Crataegus pinnatifida(P5)) and four kinds of medicinal mushrooms(Inonotus obliquus (M1), Hericium erinaceus (M2), Phellinus linteus (M3), Lentinula edodes(M4)) were added to seasoned soy sauce. Soluble solid content, pH, salinity, total polyphenol & flavonoid contents were determined. DPPH & ABTS radical scavenging activities, SOD-like activity, and antibacterial activity were analyzed. Experimental sauces showed decreased pH but significant increases of soluble solid content and salinity. Total polyphenol content was 12.76 ㎍ GAE/g in the control. However, M1 and P1 sauce had significantly higher polyphenol contents at 352.14 and 528.25 ㎍ GAE/g, respectively. Total flavonoids content also showed the same pattern. DPPH free radical scavenging activity was the lowest in the control at 15.75%. It was the highest at 81.80% in M1 and 68.88% in P1. ABTS free radical scavenging activity and SOD-like activity showed the same tendencies. They were higher in the experimental groups than in the control. As for the antibacterial activity analyzed by the paper-disc method, the activity increased the most in P1 and P2. In particular, P2 had the strongest antibacterial activity. Its activity against different microorganisms was in the order of Staphylococcus aureus > Bacillus cereus > Escherichia coli > Salmonella typhimurium. In conclusion, these new sauces show increased antioxidative and antioxidant activities. Therefore, they are expected to be used in various ways as a functional soy sauce.
