Background: The root of Angelica gigas Nakai is used as a traditional herbal medicine in Korea for the treatment of many diseases. However, the poor water solubility of the active components in A. gigas Nakai is a major obstacle to its bioavailability. Methods and Results: This work aimed at enhancing the solubility of the active compounds of A. gigas Nakai by a chemical (using a surfactant) and physical (hot melt extrusion, HME) crosslinking method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed multiple peaks in the case of the extrudate solids, attributable to new functional groups including carboxylic acid, alkynes, and benzene derivatives. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that the extrudate soilid had a lower glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and enthalpy (${\Delta}H$) ($T_g:43^{\circ}C$, ${\Delta}H$ : < 6 J/g) as compared to the non-extrudate ($T_g:68.5^{\circ}C$, ${\Delta}H:123.2$) formulations. X-ray powder diffraction analysis revealed the amorphization of crystalline materials in the extrudate solid. In addition, enhanced solubility (53%), nanonization (403 nm), and a higher amount of extracted phenolic compounds were achieved in the extrudate solid than in the non-extrudate (solubility : 36%, nanonization : 1,499 nm) formulation. Among the different extrudates, acetic acid and span 80 mediated formulations showed superior extractions efficiency. Conclusions: HME successfully enhanced the production of amorphous nano dispersions of phenolic compound including decursin from extrudate solid formulations.

The ethanol extracts from Angelica gigas Nakai and Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa were fractionated to diethyl ether and aqueous partitions. Both partitions had strong antimutagenic effect on the MNNG (N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine) by Ames mutagenicity test. Diethyl ether fractions exhibited the greatest antimutagenic effect suppressing the mutagenicity of MNNG with inhibition of 78-80%. The ethanol extracts from both species showed the inhibitory effect on the growth of several human cancer cell lines. Especially, the diethyl ether fraction from ethanol extracts was most effective on human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, inhibiting 90-95% of cell growth. However, the aqueous fractions had least inhibition activity on many cancer cells. There was little cytotoxicity on human normal liver cell by ethanol extracts. Diethyl ether fraction from Angelica gigas Nakai ethanol extract had cytotoxicity less than 20% on human normal liver cells, compared with that from Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa ethanol exract. The adding of 0.5 (g/l) of diethyl ether fractions of Angelica gigas Nakai or Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa increased immune activity by enhacing human B and T cells up to three to four times. It was proven that diethyl ether fraction (0.7 g/1) from Angelica gigas Nakai could control blood pressure by suppressing angiotensin converting enzyme activity up to 98%. From TLC, it was appeared that both of diethyl ether partitions had umbelliferon, known to one of active substances from Angelica gigas Nakai and Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa.

이상의 연구 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 산돌배 열매추출물은 대식세포에서 TLR2와 TLR4를 자극하여 MAPKs 신호전달을 활성화하여 NO, iNOS, IL-1𝛽, IL-6 및 TNF-α와 같은 면역증진 인자의 생성을 유도하고, 대식세포의 포식작용을 활성화시키는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 산돌배 추출물은 대식세포의 활성화를 통해 인체의 면역시스템을 강화할 수 있으므로, 향후 면역 보조제나 면역증진을 위한 기능성 식의약품 개발을 위한 소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 생각한다.

예로부터 삼지구엽초는(Epimedium koreanum Nakai)는 한방에서 강장, 강정, 이뇨 등의 약재로 이용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는, 삼지구엽초의 주성분인 icariin의 함량에 따른 항돌연변이 및 면역활성을 탐색하여 향후 기능성 식품소재로서 활용하고자 하였다. Ames test 결과, icariin 함량에 따른 삼지구엽초 추출물은 TA98 및 TA100 균주 모두에서 집락수가 음성대조군에 비하여 농도 변화에 따른 집락수의 큰 변화를 나타내지 않으므로 돌연변이원성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 간접변이균인 B(a)P 항돌연변이 실험에서는 열수 및 에탄올 추출물이 각각 80% 그리고 90% 이상을 그리고, 직접변이균인 4NQO 항돌연변이균에서는 70% 이상으로 icariin 함량이 많은 순인 KE9412, KE9408, KE9405 순으로 항돌연변이 억제효과를 각각 나타내었다. 인간면역세포인 B와 T 세포를 이용한 면역활성 실험결과, 열수 추출물에서는 icariin 함량이 적은 KE9405가 1.8배로 가장 높은 활성을 나타냈으나, 에탄올 추출물에서는 열수 추출물과는 반대로 icariin 함량이 많은 KE9412가 1.74배로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 인하여, 삼지구엽초는 항돌연변이능과 면역활성 효능을 가지고 있으므로, 건강기능성 식품 소재로의 효용 가치가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of Kalopanax pictus Nakai (Kalopanax) on in vitro rumen fermentation and methane (CH4) reduction. Kalopanax trunk was extracted with 70% ethanol and 70% methanol. Rumen fluid, alfalfa hay and buffer (control: C) supplemented with 0.3% Kalopanx juice (T1), 0.3% ethanol extract (T2) and 0.3% methanol extract (T3) in the total volume of culture medium were incubated at $38^{\circ}C$ for 24h and 48h. Rumen pH was lower in all Kalopanax treatments during all incubations than that in control (p<0.05). Total VFA and total gas production in T2 and T3 was significantly higher than that in C at 48h incubation (p<0.05). Ammonia-N was decreased in all treatments compared with C during the incubation periods (p<0.05). At 24h incubation, $CH_4$ contents were significantly reduced by both alcohol extracts. It is concluded that supplementing Kalopanax extracts can stimulate ruminal fermentation of rumen microorganisms and inhibit methanogenesis.

The present study attempts to evaluate antioxidant activities of extracts from Abeliophyllum distichum. Nakai flower. The samples were collected in Jangyyeon-myeon, Goesan-gun, Korea and extracted with either hot-water or ethyl acetate (EtOAC). In DPPH, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity of EtOAC extracts were 93.41%, 98.43%, and 7.38%, while those of hot-water extracts were 86.93%, 41.33% and 47.68% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively. In ${\varphi}X$-174 RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay, the protective effects of EtOAC and hot-water extracts against oxidative DNA damage were 82% and 17% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Both extracts showed the protective effect of DNA migration by oxidative stress in intracellular DNA migration assay. Both extracts had no cytotoxity in NIH3T3 cells. Several polyphenolic compounds were identified such as 2-methoxy-benzoic acid, vanillic acid, phytol and pulegone by GC/MS. These results indicated that extracts of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai flower showed antioxidant activities and protective activities against oxidative DNA damage and showed the possibility to be used as an effective natural antioxidants.

The genus Acer contains several species with various bioactivities including antioxidant, antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. However, Acer okamotoanum Nakai, one species within this genus has not been fully studied yet. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the anti-adipogenic activities of leaf extract from A. okamotoanum Nakai (LEAO) on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Adipogenesis is one of the cell differentiation processes, which converts preadipocytes into mature adipocytes. Nowadays, inhibition of adipogenesis is considered as an effective strategy in the field of anti-obesity research. In this study, we observed that LEAO decreased the accumulation of lipid droplets during adipogenesis and down-regulated the expression of key adipogenic transcription factors such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ (PPAR ${\gamma}$) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ${\alpha}$ (C/EBP ${\alpha}$). In addition, LEAO inactivated PI3K/Akt signaling and its downstream factors that promote adipogenesis by inducing the expression of PPAR ${\gamma}$. LEAO also activated ${\beta}$-catenin signaling, which prevents the adipogenic program by suppressing the expression of PPAR ${\gamma}$. Therefore, we found that treatment with LEAO is effective for attenuating adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. Consequently, these findings suggest that LEAO has the potential to be used as a therapeutic agent for preventing obesity.

씀바귀 80% 에탄올 추출물의 추출 수율은 12.6%를 나타내었으며, 추출물에 함유된 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 $4.01{\pm}0.63$ GAE mg/g 와 $0.05{\pm}0.01$ RE mg/g을 나타내었다. 3가지의 항산화 측정 모델(DPPH, ABTS, reducing power)을 통하여 씀바귀 추출물의 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과 씀바귀 추출물은 동일 농도에서 양성대조군으로 사용된 ascorbic acid보다는 낮은 항산화 활성을 가진 것으로 생각된다. 씀바귀 에탄올 추출물의 50, 100, 200 및 $400{\mu}g/mL$ 농도범위에서 세포독성을 측정한 결과, 대조군과 유의적인 차이가 없었으므로(p<0.05) 씀바귀 에탄올 추출물을 50, 100, 200 및 $400{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 하여 항비만 활성을 평가한 결과 씀바귀 추출물을 처리한 지방세포는 모든 농도 범위에서 대조군과 비교하여 Oil red O 시약에 의하여 염색된 지방구는 유의적으로 적은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과로부터, 씀바귀 추출물은 항산화 활성 및 지방세포 분화억제 효능을 갖으며, 천연물 유래 항산화제로써 활용가능성이 높은 것으로 기대된다.
