향균력이 있는 한약제들 중에서 추출수율과 항균력이 우수한 항금을 대상으로 식중독균에 대한 천연항균제의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 황금추출물의 항균작용을 알아보기 위하여 공시균주 Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Vivro parahaemolyticus에 대하여 disk method에 의한 항균력 검사에서 생육어제로 인한 clear zone 이 선명하게 관찰되어 황금추출물의 항균력을 알 수 있었고, 황금추출물의 열 및 PH 안정성을 검토한 결과 다양한 범위의 온도 및 pH에 대해서 매우 안정하다는것을 확인하였으며, 공시균주들에 대한 유효저해농도를 측정한 결과 황금추출물의 농도 500 ppm 이상에서 생육이 억제되었다. 주사형전자현미경(SEM) 상에서는 처리구에서 공시균주들의 세포형태 변화를 볼수 있었고, 투과형전자현미경(TEM)상에서는 처리구에 있어서 공시균주들의 세포막 파괴로 인하여 세포내용물이 용출된 것을 볼 수 있었다. 황금추출물 처리로 인한 세포막 손상정도를 확인하기 위하여 균체내 효소인 $\beta$-gal-actosidase 활성을 정량한 결과 chlorogorm 보다 세포막을 더 손상시키는 것을 확인되었다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of Scutellariae Radix water extract on hydrogen peroxide production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages. Methods : Scutellariae Radix produced from South Korea (SK) and Scutellariae Radix produced from China (SC) were extracted by hot water. Effects of SK and SC on hydrogen peroxide production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 were measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 assay after 20, 24, 28, 44, 48, and 52 h incubation at the concentrations of 10, 25, 50, and 100 ug/mL. Results : SK significantly increased hydrogen peroxide production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells for 20, 24, 28, 44, 48, and 52 h incubation at the concentrations of 10, 25, 50, and 100 ug/mL (P < 0.05). But SC did not represent any significant effect on hydrogen peroxide production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusions : These results suggest that Scutellariae Radix, especially produced from South Korea, has the immune-enhancing property related with its increasement of bacteriocidal hydrogen peroxide production in LPS-induced macrophages.

Each decoction of Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix and Phellodendri Cortex was orally administrated to the rates. And the effects on the Gastrin and Uropepsin secretions were observed. The results were as follows: 1. The effects on the secretio of Gastrin in the experimental groups administrered each with Coptidis Rhizoma and Scutellariae Radix comparing with the normal group, showed signficant values P<0.05, P<0.02, P<0.01 and P<0.001 separately. However the group medicated with Phellodendri Cortex showed significant values only 30 minutes after the administration. 2. Uropepsion level in the experimental group administered each with Coptidis Rhizoma and Phellodendri Cortex, comparing with the normal group, showed highly significant statistic values (P<0.001). Another experimental group medicated with Scutellariae Radix showed significantly statistical values (P<0.001) 240 minutes after the administration. 3.

Scutellaria baicalensis $G_{EORGI}$ (Scutellariae Radix) has been used to clear heat and to dry dampness in the stomach or intestines, which manifests as diarrhea or dysenteric disorder. In this study, we investigated the effective preparation of active components in Scutellariae Radix using the methods of solvent extraction and absorption fractionation for the development of new functional food or pharmaceuticals. The marker substances, baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside, and wogonin were directly isolated from the Scutellariae Radix. There chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The Scutellariae Radix was extracted with hot water. To enhance yield of flavonoids in Scutellariae Radix, the hot water extract was dissolved in ethanol with concentration dependent manner. The precipitates were separated using centrifugal techniques at 10,000 rpm. Supernatant liquid was applied to the HPLC for quantification of major compounds. Separately, the hot water extract was absorbed on Diaion HP-20 resin. And then, the absorbed fraction was eluted with methanol for HPLC. The contents of baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside and wogonin in different treatment methods were analyzed by HPLC. Total amount of four major components were 16.9% in 50% ethanol extract, 21.7% in 70% ethanol extract, 20.5% in 90% ethanol extract, and 39.3% in absorbed fraction of Diaion HP-20 resin. In these results, we found that resin absorption method is suitable for the extraction of enriched flavonoids from Scutellariae Radix.

Objectives : Advanced glycation end product (AGEs) is combine formation of glucose and protein. AGEs and reactive oxygen species are potential therapeutic targets for the various disease such as diabetic complications, renal injury, skin damage. The aim of this study was investigated the AGEs inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity of water extracts from 40 Korean medicines and 5 heating-processed Korean medicines. Methods: AGEs formation inhibitory activities of Korean medicines measured using bovine serum albumin (BSA), glucose, and fructose. Then, five effective Korean medicines were selected and heated with 30% ethanol. The AGEs inhibitory activities of heated Korean medicine were measured compared with not-heated Korean medicines. The antioxidant activities were evaluated through radical scavenging assays using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals. Furthermore, we examined total phenol and flavonoids contents. Results: Scutellariae Radix, Corni Fructus, Persimmon Fruit, Paeoniae Radix, Mori Folium respectively reduced AGEs production. Morever, heating-processed Scutellariae Radix has AGEs inhibitory activities better than not-processed Scutellariae Radix. Heating- processed Scutellariae Radix scavenged DPPH and ABTS effectively and $IC_{50}$ of DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity of Heat processed Scutellariae Radix were $15.47{\pm}0.26{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ and $12.07{\pm}1.23{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. It caused heat processing methods of Scutellariae Radix up regulated total phenol and flavonoids contents ($26.68{\pm}0.01$ to $46.15{\pm}0.10$, $20.30{\pm}0.38$ to $64.20{\pm}0.52$). Conclusion: It has AGEs inhibitory activities that 20 kind of medicinal plants of 40 medicinal plants.

In order to observe cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, RT-PCR was used. Prostaglandin $E_2$ formation and nitric oxide production was measured by competitive enzyme immunoassay and Griess assay. Results : 1. The MTT assay demonstrated that cytotoxic effect of Scutellariae Radix-acupuncture solution in RAW 264.7 macrophages were not appeared before concentration of 5mg/mL 2. Scutellariae Radix-acupuncture solution inhibited cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression in lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages. 3. Scutellariae Radix-acupuncture solution inhibited nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages. 4. Scutellariae Radix-acupuncture solution inhibited prostaglandin $E_2$ formation in lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Conclusion : On the basis of these results, It was shown that Scutellariae Radix-acupuncture solution is significantly able to inhibit the production of $PGE_2$ and NO, as well as COX-2 mRNA expression. Our results may provide new mechanism by which Scutellariae Radix-acupuncture solution accounts for its beneficial effect on accelerating wound healing and anti-inflammation.

In this study, baicalin, as a marker substance of Scutellariae Radix, was quantitatively analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD). We identified wogonoside, baicalein, and wogonin in the Scutellariae Radix by a high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS). The baicalin was separated on a Xterra C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6{\times}250mm$) using mobile phase consisting of 38% acetonitrile in 0.68% phosphoric acid. The baicalin spectrum in the Scutellariae Radix extracts was coincided by comparing with UV-visible spectrum (200-550 nm) of baicalin standard in the library. The amount of baicalin in Scutellariae Radix was 10.46%, which is higher than KFDA's guideline. The marker substances of Scutellariae Radix showed a strong base peak $[M]^+$ in the positive detection mode following as; baicalin (m/z; $271[MH^+-sugar]^+$, $447[M+H]^+$), wogonoside (m/z; $285[MH^+-sugar]^+$, $461[M+H]^+$), baicalein (m/z; $271\;[M+H]^+$), wogonin (m/z; $285[M+H]^+$). These results are consistent with the fragment pattern and molecular weight of standard components from literature.

As a part of studies on the quality control of crude drug preparation, So-Shi-Ho-Tang, index components of Scutellariae Radix were identified by TLC and quantified by HPLC. Wogonin and baicalein were identified in ethyl ether fraction on silica gel plate with benzene/ethyl acetate (1 : 1, v/v). The content of baicalin was determined by HPLC on ${\mu}-Bondapak\;C_18$ column with 0.5%-phosphoric acid/acetonitrile (73 : 27, v/v). Its recovery rate in the extract granules, compared to the content in the Scutellariae Radix, was $52.1\;{\pm}\;0.7%$.
