In this study, we have investigated the antioxidant activities of the leaves of Smilax china Linne in order to find the antioxidant substances which has an scavenging effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from natural products. As a result, EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts of the leaves of Smilax china Linne exhibited potent antioxidant effect on various antioxidant experiment. The major components of antioxidant activity were isolated from EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts of the leaves of Smilax china Linne. Their structure of compounds were identified as kaempferol-7-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside and kaempferol-3,7-O-${\alpha}$-L-dirhamnopyranoside by spectroscopic evidence, respectively. Antioxidant activities were observed in kaempferrol-7-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside at 23 ${\mu}g$ and in kaempferol-3,7-O-${\alpha}$-L-dirhamnopyranoside at 27 ${\mu}g$ as concentration of DPPH 50% reduction.

Chinae Rhizoma is dried crude roots and rhizomes obtained from Smilax china Linne which belongs to Smilax Genus of Liliaceae Familia, and it has been in wife use as a folk remedy for a long time. But very little systemic studies on its pharmacological actions have been made until now. Furthermore, the effective components except saponin of Chinae Rhizoma have been not known yet. It came to the attention of the authors that Chinae Rhizoma are used as antidiarrhetics in Chinese herb medicine, therefore they attempted to observe the effects of Chinae Rhizoma Alcoholic Extracts (Chinae Rhizoma Ethanol Extract=CREE, Chinae Rhizoma Methanol Extract=CRME) from Smilax china Linne on motility of the isolated rabbit duodenum in this experiment. The results of the study were as follow: 1. The movement of the isolated rabbit duodenum was slowed down and its tonus was relaxed in proportion to the concentration of Chinae Rhizoma Alcoholic Extracts (CREE & CRME). 2. With a concentration of CREE $10^{-4}g/ml$, the contractile effects of acetylcholine $10^{-6}g/ml$, pilocarpine $10^{-5}g/ml$ and physostigmine $10^{-5}g/ml$ were remarkably blocked in the movement of isolated rabbit duodenum. 3. The concentration of the isolated rabbit duodenum induced by barium chloride $10^{-4}g/ml$ was significantly inhibited by CREE $10^{-4}g/ml$. 4. With the administrations of histamine $10^{-5}g/ml$, serotonin $10^{-6}g/ml$ and prostaglandin $A_2\;10^{-6}g/ml$ respectively, contractions were observed in the rabbit duodenum. But, treatment of CREE $10^{-4}g/ml$ inhibited markedly the tonus and motility of the duodenum pretreated with the above drugs. 5. The effects of CREE and CRME were very much alike in this experiment. From the above results, it is concluded that the mechanism of action of Chinae Rhizoma on motility of isolated rabbit duodenum was partially due to cholinergic blocking effect.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to compare the anticancer effects of Smilacis Chinae Rhizoma (SCR) and Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma (SGR) on stomach cancer SNU-1 cells. Methods : The cell proliferation, apoptosis and cytokine level from the extracts were examined in order to compare the anticancer effects of SCR and SGR on SNU-1 cells. Results : SCR had greater anticancer effects than SGR in terms of the inhibition of cell proliferation and apoptosis in the SNU-1 cells. SCR decreased TGF-$\beta$ and SGR increased IL-2 in SNU-1 cells. SCR decreased more TGF-$\beta$ and increased more TNF-$\alpha$ compared to SGR. Conclusions : There were few significant differences according to the concentration and fraction, but a greater anticancer effect of SCR was shown as compared with SGR.

인구의 수명이 연장되고 노령화 사회로 발전됨에 따라 다양한 성인병이 야기되고 있고, 이들 성인병의 원인이 활성산소에 의한 것으로 밝혀짐에 따라 이들의 다양한 성인병을 예방 치료할 수 있는 안전하고 우수한 항산화 물질을 천연물로부터 개발하기 위하여 약용식물 30종을 대상으로 그들의 MeOH 엑스에 대한 자유라디칼소거효과 및 오배자의 분획에 대한 항산화효과를 연구하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. DPPH법을 사용하여 약용식물 10종의 MeOH 엑스에 대한 1차 라디칼 소거작용 검색 시험을 한 결과 오배자, 토복령과 호장근의 MeOH 엑스가 가장 강한 항산화 활성 을 나타내었으며 이중에서 오배자의 자유라디칼 소거효과가 가장 높게 나타났다. 2. 1차 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 토대로 가장 강한 활성을 나타낸 오배자에 대하여 오배자의 MeOH 엑스로부터 각 극성별로 분획하여 얻어진 n-Hpxane, EtOAc, BuOH, $H_2O$ 엑스에 대하여 DPPH법을 이용한 라더칼 소거작용을 시험한 결과, n-Hexane, EtOAc, BuOH 엑스가 강한 자유라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었다. 3. Ferric-Thiocyana법을 이용하여 오배자의 n-Hexane, EtOAc, BuOH 및 $H_2O$엑스에 대하여 지질 과산화 억제 작용에 의한 항산화 활성을 시험한 결과 오배자의 n-Hexane, EtOAc, 및 BuOH 엑스는 천연 항산화제인 tocopherol 및 합성 항산화제 인 BHA 보다 우수한 탁월한 항산화 효과를 나타내었고, $H_2O$ 엑스는 tocopherol 보다는 우수하고 BHA와는 유사한 강한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다.

The majority of drugs used in the treatment of superficial fungal infections has limited values due to its low efficacy or development of resistance. For the purpose of searching efficacious agent on the superficial fungal infections induced by dermatophytes which is regarded as the most malicious one, authors examined whether Chinae Rhizoma Extracts have significant on it. Extracts from Smilax china Linne used for the study are water extract (CRWE), ethanol extract (CREE) and methanol extract (CRME). In in vitro studies, the spores of the dermatophytes were inoculated on Sabouraud's glucose agar media which contained three extracts of Chinae Rhizoma in each concentration of $500\;{\mu}g/ml$, $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ and $5,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ respectively, and also $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ of salicylic acid and undecylenic acid $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ as comparable drugs. The growth of the dermatophytes were observed for 3 weeks. The species of the dermatophytes used in this experiment were Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, Microsporum cookei, Microsporum gypseum, Microsporum nanum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans and Trichophyton verrucosum distributed from The Institute of Tropical Medicine in Belgium. The results of the studies were as follows: 1. The growth of M. canis, M. nanum, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum & T. tonsurans were slightly inhibited in CRWE $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ and CRWE $5,000\;{\mu}g/ml$, and only slight inhibition on the growth of E. floccosum, M. canis and M. gypseum were observed in CRWE $5,000\;{\mu}g/ml$. 2. Complete inhibition of T. rubrum, moderate inhibition of M. nanum & T. tonsurans, and slight inhibition of E. floccosunl, M. canis, M. cookei & T. mentagrophytes in growth were observed in concentration of CREE $500\;{\mu}g/ml$. The growth of M. gypseum was slightly inhibited, moderate inhibition on the growth of M. canis, M. cookei & T. mentagrophytes, and complete inhibition of E. floccosum, M. nanum, T. rubrum & T. tonsurans in growth were observeed by CREE $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$. With $5,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ of CREE, the growth of E. floccosum, M. canis, M. cookei, M. gypseum, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum & T. tonsurans were completely inhibited except T. verrucosum being showed slight inhibition. 3. In CRME $500\;{\mu}g/ml$, slight inhibition of T. verrucosum, moderate inhibition of M. gypseum and complete inhibition of E. floccosum, M. canis, M. cookei, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum & T. tonsurans in growth were observed. The growth of E. floccosum, M. canis, M. cookei, M. gypseum, M. nanum, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum & T. tonsurans were completely inhibited except T. verrucosum being showed moderate inhibition in both CRME $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ and CRME $5,000\;{\mu}g/ml$. 4. In $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ of undecylenic acid, slight inhibition of T. verrucosum and complete inhibition of E, floccosum, M. canis, M. cookei, M. gypseum, M. nanum, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum & T. tonsurans in growth were observed. From the above results, it was found that Chinas Rhizoma Alcoholic Extracts(CREE & CRME) exerted significant antifungal activity, and their effects were probably derived from the pharmacological actions of triterpenoidal saponin and steroidal saponin.
