사료에 첨가된 saponin이 함유된 자귀나무(Albizzia julibrissin) 껍질 추출물이 송사리(Oryzias latipes)의 생식소 성숙과 산란에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 자귀나무(A. julibrissin) 껍질의 n-BuOH 추출물로부터 Diaion HP-20, Silica gel과 Sephadex LH-20 chromatography들을 이용하여 조 사포닌 분획물(HaBC)을 분리하였다. 실험 어류들은 순환여과 장치 시스템의 수조에서 사육하였으며, HaBC를 첨가한 사료를 급여하여 암컷의 생식소 성숙 억제 및 산란 억제 효과를 조사하였다. 미성숙 송사리들에 대한 실험에서 사료에 HaBC를 20 mg/g-feed 이상 첨가한 사료를 먹인 어류들은 생식소의 성숙과 산란을 개시하는 시기가 지연되었다. 또한 성숙한 암컷 송사리들도 HaBC를 20 mg/g-feed 이상 첨가한 사료를 먹었을 때 대조구에 비해 낮은 GSI 값을 보였다. 미성숙한 송사리에 대한 길이 성장이나 체중에 대한 변화는 HaBC의 첨가량에 관계가 없었으나, 비만도(CF)에서는 HaBC를 첨가한 사료를 먹인 어류들이 대조구에 비해 높은 값을 보였다. 이러한 결과로 자귀나무(A. julibrissin)의 껍질로부터 분리한 saponin 분획물은 송사리 암컷의 성숙을 억제할 수 있었지만, 성장 촉진에는 아무런 작용을 하지 않았다. 이들 작용 기전에 대해서는 더 많은 연구들이 있어야 할 것이다.

The effects of the water extract from the stem bark of Acanthopanax senticosus were evaluated on hyperlipidemic rats induced by lipid rich diet or poloxamer-407. The water extracts, when administered orally for 3 consecutive days in hyperlipidemic rats induced by poloxamer-407 (1 ml of 30%), was found to cause a significant decrease in plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. The water extracts, when treated orally for 5 consecutive days also showed a significant inhibition of serum total cholesterol and triglyceride level in rats treated with lipid rich diet (15% cholesterol, 1% sodium cholate and 84% com oil). HDL-cholesterol, however, was increased significantly.

본 연구는 제주도에 자생하는 차나무과 식물을 대상으로 식품소재 또는 생약으로의 활용 방안을 모색하고자 angiotensin I converting enzyme(ACE) 저해활성, aminopeptidase N(APN) 저해활성 및 $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성을 조사하고, 항산화활성을 검색하고 TLC를 이용하여 분석하였다. ACE 저해활성은 후피향나무(수피)와 비쭈기나무(잎)에서 50% 이상의 저해활성을 보였으며, APN 저해활성은 비쭈기나무(잎과 수피)와 후피향나무(수피)에서만 양의 활성을 보였다. $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성은 동백나무(열매), 우묵사스레피나무(수피), 후피향나무(수피)와 차나무(줄기)에서 30% 이상의 저해활성을 보였다. 항산화활성은 비쭈기나무(수피), 후피향나무(수피), 차나무(잎)에서 30% 이상의 다소 높은 전자공여능을 나타내었다. 특히, 비쭈기나무(수피)는 dot-blot test에 의해 다른 종에 비해 활성이 높아 $1.25\;{\mu}g/ml$의 낮은 농도에서도 높은 항산화활성을 보였다. TLC 분석에 의해 비쭈기나무(수피)에서 EGC(Rf 0.26) 활성이 높았으며, 비쭈기나무, 우묵사스레피나무, 후피향나무의 수피에서 EGCG(Rf 0.09) 활성이 높게 검출되었다. 그리고, 표준 catechin류와는 다른 것으로 보이는 5개의 밴드(Rf 0.54, 0.46, 0.44, 0.16, 0.03)는 Folin-Ciocalteu Reagent 방법과 Ferric chloride-alcohol 방법을 이용하여 polyphenol류인 것으로 추정되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 사스레피나무를 제외한 차나무과 식물들은 생리활성이 높아 식품 소재 또는 생약으로의 활용이 가능할 것으로 보이며, 활성성분의 분리 및 동정 그리고 이들 물질을 이용한 임상실험 등 보다 심도있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Pseudolaric acids of Pseudolarix kaempferi (Pinaceae) have been known as diterpenoids with potent anti-fungal-, anti-microbial, and cytotoxic activities. In the present study, the five MeOH extracts were prepared from the five plant part (root bark, stem bark, leaf, the inner part of root, and cone) to find the relation between the concentration of pseudolaric acids and cytotoxicity. Pseudolaric acids B and C were isolated from the root bark of P. kaempferi to use them as standard compounds. The five extracts were tested on cytotoxicity against six cancer cell lines, A549 (lung), HCT116 (colon), MDA-MB-231 (breast), SNU638 (stomach), and SK-hep-1 (liver) by SRB assay, but against K562 (leukemia) by SRB- or MTT assay. HPLC quantification were performed on a Shisheido Capcell PAK C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6mm{\times}250mm$) using 254 nm wavelength. The cytotoxicity ($IC_{50}$, $0.36{\mu}g/ml$ on K562 cell lines) of the root bark extract was potent and the content (101.1 mg/g extract) of pseudolaric acid B was very high in the root bark. These results suggest that the MeOH extract obtained from the root bark could be developed as the anti-cancer agent with a high quantity of pseudolaric acid B.

To obtain the information on antioxidant activity by harvesting parts and time in Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau, total phenolic contents, flavonoid contents, superoxide dismutase (SOD) like activity and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity of methanol extracts from Cudrania tricuspidata were investigated. Total phenolic contents was the highest in leaf [$30.2{\sim}38.8\;mg/g$ dry weight (DW)] and followed by root bark, stem bark, fruit, root except bark and stem except bark. Among harvesting time, total phenolic contents of leaf was the highest as $38.1{\sim}38.8\;mg/g$ DW in May and June, and then decreased to October. Root bark harvested in April and May contained $26.6{\sim}27.8\;mg/g$ DW total phenolic compounds and total phenolic content fell to a very low values at 1.8 mg/g DW in February. Flavonoid contents was very high in leaf and root bark. Especially, root bark harvested in April had the highest of flavonoid contents as 23.2 mg/g DW. As a result of simple linear regression analysis of total phenolic contents on flavonoid contents according to harvesting parts, it showed a high correlation (p < 0.001) with $0.57{\sim}0.97\;R^2$ (coefficient of determination). As $RC_{50}$ value, that was, the concentration of sample required for 50% reduction of DPPH absorbance, was $13.7{\sim}20.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ in leaf so DPPH radical scavenging activity was very high. But SOD like activity of $1,000\;{\mu}g$ extract/mL MeOH was a low value of $0.3{\sim}9.2%$ in all samples.

Our continuing interest on Garcinia and Mesua species has led us to carry out a detail study on the chemistry of the root bark of Garcinia mangostana (Guttiferae) since this part of the plant has not been investigated before, and the strm bark of Mesua corneri (Guttiferae) an uninvestigated species. This study has yielded six xanthones, ${\alpha}-mangostin$ (1), ${\beta}-mangostin$ (2), ${\gamma}-mangostin$ (3), garcinone-D (4), mangostanol (5) and gartanin (6) from Garcinia mangostana and two xanthones rubraxanthone (7) and inophyllin B (8) from Mesua corneri. Structural elucidations were achieved using $^1H,\;^{13}C$ NMR and MS data. The crude hexane and chloroform extracts of the root bark of Garcinia mangostana and the hexane extract of the stem bark of Mesua corneri were found to be active against CEM-SS cell lines with $IC_{50}$ values less than $30\;{mu}g/ml$. Moreover, ${\gamma}-mangostin$ gave a very low $LC_{50}$ value of $4.7\;{mu}g/ml$ while rubraxanthone gave an $LC_{50}$ value of $5.0\;{mu}g/ml$ indicating these two compounds to be potential lead compounds for anti-cancer activity against the CEM-SS cell line. This paper reports the isolation and identification of these compounds as well as bioassay data for the crude extracts, ${\gamma}-mangostin$ and rubraxanthone.

The leaves (KPL) of Kalopanax pictus (KP) are used as a vegetable or a functional food in Korean society. The stem bark (Kalopanacis Cortex, KPS) has been traditionally used to treat neurotic pain, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetic disease. This research was undertaken to demonstrate that the leaf extract of KP (KPL) has also the antinociceptive and antiinflammatory effects like the extract (KPS) of Kalopanacis Cortex and to compare the activity levels of several extracts obtained from KP. Antinociceptive and antiinflammatory effects were measured against the extracts described as followings; KPL-1 (the MeOH extract obtained from the leaf shoot of KP collected on May), KPL-2 (the MeOH extract from KP collected on June), KPL-3 (the MeOH ectract from KP with no thorns), KPS-1 (MeOH extract from KPS of a Korean habitat), KPS-2 (MeOH extract from KPS of a Chinese habitat). The antimociceptive test undertaken by acetic acid-induced writhing, hot plate-, and tail-flick methods using mice. The anti-inflammatory test was also undertaken by measuring the edema in the carrageenan-induced test. The order of activity potency in the antinociceptive and antiinflammatory assays was commonly shown as followings: KPL-3>KPS>1>KPS-2>KPL-1>KPL-2. This order was also observed in acetic acid-induced vascular permeability test. The antiinflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced assay was also observed as the following order: KPL-3>KPS- 1>PS-2>KPL-1>KPL-2. In addition, adjuvant-induced rats were used for a model to assess the oxidative stress. Treatment of the rat with the extracts reduced serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), hydroxy radical(OH) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity caused by FCA together together with the inhibition of hepatic TBARS level and lipofuscin content. The above finding suggests that the leaf extract has the antinociceptive and antinflammatory activity. It is also suggested that KPL-3 with more potent activity than other tested extracts could be developed for a new available biomaterial.

In this study, we investigated antioxidant capacity and determined the phenolic and flavonoid contents using each of various solvent conditions from fermented Rhus verniciflua stem bark (F-RVS). Each extracts displayed markedly similar content of extraction yield. However, M80 extract showed a significantly higher antioxidant activity in comparison to other extract investigated. M80 exhibited strong DPPH radical scavenging activity with $RC_{50}$ value of $10.5{\pm}1.4{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, reducing power value 1.04 Abs (concentration of 1 mg/$m{\ell}$), and anti-lipid peroxidation activity value of 94.6% (concentration of 10 mg/$m{\ell}$). M80 extract showed the high content of total phenolic (319.7 mg GAE/$m{\ell}$ extract) and total flavonoid (111.6 mg QE/$m{\ell}$ extract). Phenolic and flavonoid compounds showed significant relationship in DPPH radical scavenging ($R^2$=0.911 and 0.912, each extract) and reducing power ($R^2$=0.903 and 0.837, each extract) from fermented R. verniciflua stem bark. However, antilipid peroxidation activity ($R^2$=0.589 and 0.441, each extract) was not significant like DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power. Therefor the result indicated that the potential antioxidant activities and functional values were ovserved significantly at M80 solvent condition from the fermented R. verniciflua stem bark.
