Objectives : In this study, we demonstrated the antioxidant activities and the inhibitory effect on oxidative DNA damage of ethyl acetate fractions extracted from Sophorae Flos and Sophorae fructus. Methods : Sophorae Flos and Sophorae fructus were extracted with methanol(MeOH) and divided to Petroleum ether, Ethyl acetate(EtOAC) and Water fraction. The antioxidant activities were conducted by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl(DPPH) radical, 2, 2'-Azine-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6 sulfonic acid) diammonium salt(ABTS) radical scavenging assay, $Fe^{2+}$ chelating assay and Reducing power assay. The inhibitory effect of DNA damage were characterized on ${\varphi}$ X-174 RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay. In addition, we analyzed the Total phenol contents and the Vitamin C contents of Sophorae Flos and Sophorae fructus. Results : The results of DPPH were 92.71% and 94.72%, ABTS were 87.16% and 62.44%, and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating were 95.81% and 85.11% at $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of Sophorae Flos and Sophorae fructus respectively. The Sophorae Flos showed stronger effect than Sophorae fructus in Reducing Power assay. Total phenol content was 111.77 mg/g and 122.54 mg/g, and Vitamin C content was 2.59 mg/g and 3.03 mg/g. Also both Sophorae Flos and Sophorae fructus have inhibitory antioxidant effect on ${\varphi}$ X-174 RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay. Conclusions : Over all, this study suggests that Sophorae Flos and Sophorae fructus can be used as not only effective antioxidant but also natural medicine.

The preventive effects of Sophorae Fructus extracts (I: hot water extract and II: combination product using I) on bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) rats were investigated. Sophorae Fructus extracts were orally administrated to OVX rats for 9 weeks. Ovariectomy caused the increase of body weight and deoxypyridinoline (Dpd: bone resorption marker) and decrease of calcium (Ca: bone formation marker) level in serum. Dpd level were significantly decreased and Ca levels were elevated at 9 weeks in Sophorae Fructus extracts administered groups after ovariectomy at a dose of 0.556 g/kg/day compared with control group. In administered groups, trabecular bone area (TBA) in the tibia and lumbar were also increased compared with control group in histomorphological analysis. The preventive or treatment effects of Sophorae Fructus extracts on bone loss in OVX rats appears to be due to suppression of bone turnover.

괴각 추출물을 농축하여 동결 건조해서 실험동물인 Sprague-dawley rats의 해당 식이에 0.5% 수준으로 첨가하여 4주간 사육하면서 체중은 3일 간격으로 섭취는 2일 간격으로 일정한 시각(오전 9시)에 측정하였으며, 활성산소 및 항산화 활성 측정은 2주 간격으로 측정하였다. 또한 실험이 종료된 후 실험동물을 단두 도살하여 혈청 중 total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, phospholipid를 측정하여 지질함량에 미치는 영향을 측정한 결과 아래와 같은 결론을 얻었다. 괴각 추출물을 Sprague dawley rats에 급여 후 식이섭취량, 식이효율 및 체중증가량을 측정한 결과 각 군 간에 차이를 보이지 않았으며 2주 간격으로 항산화 활성 및 활성산소를 측정한 결과 2주째부터 항산화에서 차이를 보였으며 활성산소 생성량은 대조군과 비교했을 때 큰 차이가 없었다. 4주 후 괴각 추출물 급여군의 항산화 값은 대조군에 비해 17.04%로 높게 나타났다. 실험식이 종료 후 실험동물에서 적출한 장기의 무게를 측정한 결과 심장, 신장, 장, 간 모두 커다란 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한, 혈청중의 total cholesterol 함량 측정 결과 괴각 추출물 급여군이 대조군에 비해 낮은 함량을 나타내었고, HDL-cholesterol 함량에서는 대조군에 비해 높은 함량을 보였다. Triglyceride 함량은 거의 차이가 없었으며 glucose 함량은 대조군에 비해 낮았고, phospholipid 함량은 높았으나 차이가 없었다. 이상에서와 같이 괴각 추출물을 이용한 동물실험에서 항산화 활성 및 혈청의 지질대사에 개선 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 향후 이들 추출물을 항산화활성 및 지질대사 개선에 기능성을 갖는 식품소재로의 이용 가능성이 기대되며 향후에 추출물 투여농도의 증가나 투여기간의 연장에 따른 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

It was claimed that the herbal medicine with the function of strengthening the body resistance exerts to enhance the immunity. And the medicine with the effect of eliminating the pathogenic factor is stated to inhibit the immune response. To evaluate the the effects of the herbal medicine on the immune response, the mice were administrated with the herbal medicine for 2 weeks. And the responses were analyzed. As the result, water extract of Radix Astragali, Fructus Psoraleae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Semen Coicis, Herba Ecliptae, Spica Prunellae, and Radix Sophorae increased the ROI production, while Radix Tripterygia inhibited it. Phagocytic activity was increased after administration of Radix Astragal, Fructus Psoraleae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Herba Ecliptae, Spica Prunellae and Radix Sophorae. NK cell activity was also significantly inhibited by Radix Tripterygia. Administration of Radix Astragali, Fructus Psoraleae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Herba Ecliptae, Spica Prunellae and Semen Coicis enhanced the antibodies(hemagglutinin and hemolysin) formation and the appearance of rosette forming cells of the spleen, while Radix Sophorae and Radix Tripterygia decreased it. Radix Sophorae and Radix Tripterygia also decreased the allogenic immune response and mixed-lymphocyte reaction. And all the experimental herbs decreased contact hypersensitivity against dinitroflurobenzene. These results show Radix Astragali, Fructus Psoraleae, Spica Prunellae, Cortex Acanthopanacis, Semen Coicis and Herba Ecliptae enhanced innate immunity, humoral and cellular immune responses. However Radix Sophorae and Radix Tripterygia exert imunosuppressive action. Also these results indicate that the medicine with the action of the strengthening the body resistance enhances the immunity. And the the some of drugs belonging to the eliminating the pathogenic factor also increase the immune responses.

The aim of this study was to determine if the isoflavones from Sophorae fructus (SISO) have potential clinical benefit in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for the treat ment of menopausal signs, such as the levels of total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). An additional aim was to present the potential antioxidant effect of SISO in a microglial cell line. For the animal model, the ovaries were removed from adult rats and the indicators of menopause were measured at the pre- and post-administration time points. Although no statistically significant correlation was found, SISO tended to decrease the TC level (p=0.15) and the FSH level (p=0.36), but to increase the HDL level (p=0.303).SISO (< 5${\mu}g$/mL) also exerted antioxidant activity on BV-2 microglial cells by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide. This cytoprotective effect was confirmed by trypan blue staining, which was used to test for cellular damage from H$_2O_2$. In conclusion, this study highlights the anti-menopausal and antioxidant effect of SISO in an ovariectomized rat model, as well as in microglial cells, and provides new clinical targets for the screening of phytoestrogens as potential candidates for HRT in menopausal women.
