This study was carried out to evaluate cytotoxicity of the methanol extract from Sophora flavescens Ait. against L1210 (lymphocytic leukemia) and $P388D_1$ (lymphoid neoplasma) Cells in vitro. We have determined cytotoxicity by the MTT (3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H- tetrazolium bromide) assay. The order of cytotoxicity of Sophora flavescens Ait. extracts against L1210 and $P388D_1$ cells in vitro is as follows: Fr. 4 > Fr. 3 > Fr. 5 > Fr. 2 > Fr. 1. These results suggest that the fraction 4 of the methanol extracts from Sophora flavescens Ait. may be a valuable choice for the development of antitumor agents. In order to develop an antimicrobial agent, dried Sophora flavescens Ait. was extracted with hot methanol, and then antimicrobial activity (MIC test) was investigated. In this study, the fraction 3 of the methanol extracts from the roots of S. flavescens showed strong growth inhibition activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (MIC, $3.125\;{\mu}g/ml$) such as S. mutans, S. epidermidis and P. putida. These results indicate that fractions 3 and 4 inhibit tumor cells and bacteria.

고삼에서 치아우식원인세균인 S. mutans에 대한 항세균효과와 GTase의 활성을 저해하는 물질을 탐색, 개발하여 식품 또는 치아우식예방제로 응용하기 위하여 연구를 수행하였다. 고삼 에틸 아세테이트추출물의 3차 분획의 소분획에서 S. mutans에 대한 최소억제농도가 3.13 $\mu$g/ml으로 나타나, 높은 항세균효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. GTase 활성은 고삼의 에틸 아세테이트 추출물에 의하여 glucan의 형성을 저해하였으며, 100 $\mu$g/ml의 농도에서 77%의 저해율이 나타났고, 통계학적으로 유의한 효과가 나타났다 (p<0.05), 이상의 결과로 고삼은 치아우식예방제로 개발 가능성이 있다고 기대된다.

In this study, cytotoxicity of cadmium on NIH 3T fibroblasts was utilized in order to discover antitoxic compound in methanol extract of Sophora fIavascens Ait. There were treatment groups; control (medium only), $MTT_{50}$ group and five experimental groups. MTT {3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H- tetrazoliumbromide} assay was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of cell organelles and $IC_{50}$ was also measured. Accordingly we have examined the detoxification effects of methanol extract of S. flavescens Ait. and leachianone A (LA) on cadmium-treated NIH 3T3 fibroblasts ($IC_{50}=\;12.5{\mu}M$) to observe morphological changes by the light microscopy. Both S. flavescens Ait. methanol extract and LA showed inhibitory effects on cadmium-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, LA showed dose-dependency in detoxication. From these results, it is conceivable to suggest that LA from S. flavescens Ait. methanol extract is a potential antitoxic agent.

This study was carried out to evaluate cytotoxic effects of the roots of Sophora flavescens Ait. extracts on murine leukemia tumor cells lines $(P388D_1\;and\;L1210)$. Disruptions in cell organelles were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The comparison of $IC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate of Sophora flavescens Ait. extract in leukemia cell lines showed that their susceptibility to these extracts decreased in the following order : Adriamycin>Fr.4>Fr.5>Fr.3>Fr.1>Fr.2 by the MTT assay. These results suggest that the fraction 4 of the ethyl acetate soluble extract of Sophora flavescens Ait. may be a valuable choice for the studies on the treatment of murine leukemia cell lines.

Two flavanones, (2S) -2'-methoxykurarinones (1) and kurarinones (2) , were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the roots of Sophora flavescense Ait. Their structrures were elucidated using NMR, UV and IR spectral analysis. These compounds exhibited a moderate antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis Pseudomonas Putida and a weak anti-fungal activity against Candida albicans.

고삼으로부터 항우식활성물질을 탐색하기 위하여 고삼의 에틸 아세테이트 추출물을 이용하여 치아우식의 주요한 원인 균인 Streptococcus mutans에 대한 항세균효과와 Glucosylransferase 활성억제효과를 파악하였다. S. mutans에 대한 항세균효과는 3차분획의 소분획에서 S. mutans에 대한 최소억제농도가 3.13 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml으로 나타나 높은 항세균효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 고삼의 에틸 아세테이트추출물은 glucan의 형성을 저해하였으며 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 농도에서 77%의 저해율이 나타났고, 통계학적으로 유의성이 인정되었다(p<0.05). 항우식활성물질을 나타내는 성분을 찾기위하여 고삼의 에틸 아세테이트 추출물을 recycling prep-HPLC 방법과 TCL, LR, $^1$H-NMR, $^{13}$C-NMR의 분광화학적인 자료를 이용하여 (2S)-2'-methoxy kurarinone와(+)-kurarinone을 동정하였다.

고삼 75% 에탄올 추출물과 클로로포름 분획물을 첨가하여 몇가지 식중독 미생물의 증식억제 양상과 분리된 유효 물질의 구조를 확인하였다. 이 분획물의 항균 효과를 시험한 결과 Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19111, 19112, 19113, 19114 및 15313)에 대한 최소 증식억제 농도가 각각 $50{\sim}500\;ppm$과 50 ppm 이하로 확인되었다. 항균 활성을 보인 클로로포름 분획물을 silica gel column chromatography로 연속 2회 정제하여 얻은 황색 분말의 항균 활성 소획분 S-10-6은 L. monocytogenes 5 균주, Bacillus subtilis 및 Staphylococcus aureus에 대해서는 10 ppm 농도에서 뚜렷한 증식억제 효과를 보였으며 특히 L. monocytogenes 5균주에 대해서는 $30{\sim}50\;ppm$ 수준에서 살균 효과가 인정되었으나 E. coli 경우 100 ppm 농도에서도 증식억제 효과가 없었다. 항균 활성을 보인 소획분(S-10-6)을 IR, $^1H-NMR$ 및 $^{13}C-NMR$로 구조를 동정한 결과 flavanone 화합물의 하나인 kushenol F로 확인되었다.

Two known lavandulylated flavanones, leachianone A (1) and sophoroaflavanone G (2), were isolated from the roots of S. flavascens Ait. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of IR, 1D and 2D NMR in addition to direct comparison with authentic compounds. However, leachianone A (1) and sophoroflavanone G (2) did not have growth inhibition activity against any microorganisms (MIC, >200 ${\mu}g/ml$).

Background: Sophora flavescens AIT root is used as a herbal medicine in Asian culture. This study was aimed at selecting the best cultivars, by comparing growth characteristics, active ingredients, and antioxidant activities. Methods and Results: A total twenty nine accessions of S. flavescens were collected from five different regions in Korea. Plant height, leaf length, peduncle length, fresh root weight, and seed weight were the growth characteristics selected. Antioxidant activity was determined by measuring the total polyphenol (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) as well as the radical scavenging activity of DPPH, ABTS and FRAP. Oxymatrine and matrine, active ingredients in S. flavescens were analyzed by HPLC. Results indicated that accession YS-11 had the highest plant height (152.5 cm) and peduncle length (54.0 cm). The fresh root weight was highest in JA-01 at 4.9 kg, while the highest total seed weight was recorded in accession BH-04 at 77.7 g. The YS-03 accession contained the highest oxymatrine and matrine total contents (0.9616% and 0.9638%, respectively). Accessions BH-02, YS-11, YS-05, and MJ-03 had the highest levels of antioxidant activity (p < 0.05). Oxymatrine showed a high correlation with TPC and FRAP. TPC showed high correlations with TFC, DPPH, ABTS and FRAP. TFC showed a high correlation with DPPH. Conclusions: The superior lines can be selected for use as standard variety breeding material by comparing the growth characteristics of the accessions.
