  • 본 연구에서는 항산화성분을 다량 함유하고 있는 천연물로부터 유효성분을 추출하고, 이를 반응표면분석법을 이용하여 추출공정을 최적화하였다. 또한 감잎과 엉겅퀴로부터 추출된 유효성분의 플라보노이드 함량과 폴리페놀 함량을 측정함으로써 유효성분의 기능성을 평가하였다. 추출공정의 독립변수로는 추출시간, 추출온도, 용매의 비율을 설정하였고, 반응치는 수율, 폴리페놀 함량, 플라보노이드 함량을 확인하였다. 감잎의 경우 추출시간(3.1 h), 주정/초순수 부피비(63.4 vol%), 추출온도($54.6^{\circ}C$)에서 수율(27.7%), 폴리페놀 함량(33.2 mg GAE/g), 플라보노이드 함량(47.8 mg QE/mg dw)의 최적 결과를 얻었으며, 엉겅퀴의 경우에는 추출시간(2.9 h), 주정/초순수 부피비(40.7 vol%), 추출온도($68.4^{\circ}C$)에서 수율(27.0%), 폴리페놀 함량(17.9 mg GAE/g), 플라보노이드 함량(28.8 mg QE/mg dw)으로 예측되었으며, 종합만족도는 71.7%이다.

  • 고려엉겅퀴는 강원도에서 곤드레라는 음식 재료로 재배하는 작물이다. 고려엉겅퀴에 대한 정기적인 병해충 모니터링 중 우리대벌레의 국부적인 발생으로 인한 큰 피해를 발견하였고, 우리대벌레의 동정과 생태학적 특성을 보고한다. 본 조사는 2019년 5월 28일부터 동년 10월 1일까지 강원도 정선군에 있는 3곳의 고려엉겅퀴 재배지에서 실시하였다. 해당 포장에서 채집한 우리대벌레의 형태적, 분자 생물적 분석으로 대벌레과(Phasmida) 계열의 Ramulus koreanus Kwon Ha et Lee로 동정하였다. 우리대벌레는 6월 11일부터 8월 22일까지 고려엉겅퀴 포장에서 발생하였으며, 7월 23일에 최대 발생 밀도를 보였다. Taylor's power law와 Greens index를 이용하여 공간분포를 분석한 결과 무작위로 분포하는 것을 확인하였다. 우리대벌레의 고려엉겅퀴 일일 섭식량은 성충 기준 60.98 ± 4.35 ㎠ 였으며, 주요 기주식물은 가래나무와 아로니아였다. 우리대벌레 발생 메커니즘과 우리대벌레가 농업과 산림 생태계에 미칠 수 있는 영향 및 농작물 피해를 줄이기 위해 그 방법을 추구할 것이다.

  • Silymarin is a standardized extract obtained from the seeds and fruits of Silybum marianum L., or commonly called milk thistle, a member of Carduus marianum family that contains mix of flavonolignans. Some epidemiological and preclinical studies revealed that S. marianum L. has been used for herbal remedies for centuries for its pharmacological activity. In this review, pharmacological studies in vitro and in vivo of silymarin are discussed thoroughly stressing on antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-carcinogenic aspects of silymarin. In addition, the protective influences of silymarin on some organs such as heart, liver, bone, and neuron tissue are reviewed as well. This review would be useful for further study regarding the potential of natural plant, notably silymarin, and its therapeutic potential in the prevention and treatment of diseases.

  • 세균 및 진균류의 증식을 억제하는 능력이 있는 것으로 보고된 누로와 대계의 추출물을 사용하여 Mycobacterium smegmatis 및 Mycobacterium fortuitum의 증식을 억제하는 능력이 있는지를 시험하였다. 그 결과, 누로의 추출물에서는 증식억제능을 발견할 수 없었으나, 대계의 추출물에서는 뚜렷한 증식억제능이 관찰되었다. 따라서 본 연구에 사용된 대계(엉겅퀴)에 대한 분류학적 또는 진화적 분석을 수행하기 위하여 genomic DNA를 추출한 후, ITS1, 5.8S rRNA 유전자 및 ITS2를 포함하는 부분을 PCR로 증폭시켰다. PCR 산물의 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 733-bp의 염기서열이 얻어졌고, 이것을 GenBank에 등록하였다(accession number GU188570). 이렇게 얻어진 염기서열을 사용하여 BLAST analysis를 수행한 결과, 염기서열이 일치하는 생물체는 아직까지 GenBank에 보고된 적이 없고, 가장 가까운 식물들로는 귀화식물로서 전국적으로 분포하는 Carduus crispus (지느러미엉겅퀴) 및 현재까지 국내에 자생하는 것으로 보고된 적이 없는 Carduus defloratus로서 각각 3개씩의 염기가 다른 것으로 나타났다.

  • Herbal plants or traditional Oriental medicine have been considered as a potential resource of new drug development worldwide. However, traditional Korean medicine has given little effort to the field of new drug development. This study reports on a plant-derived hepatotherapeutic drug, silymarin, which has been popularly used in many countries. It was discovered as an active compound from Silybum marianum (milk thistle) which has been known as a medicinal plant having hepatoprotective properties in both European and Asian countries. While it has been used as an herbal prescription in Asia, its active compounds or scientific mechanisms were intensively studied in Europe. Currently, silymarin is one of the most powerful herbal extracts in the world, and its usage is being expanded to many other medical purposes. This report would be helpful for providing an informative example of herbal-derived drug development to Oriental doctors or scientists in the Oriental medicinal field.

  • One of the problems for cultivating crops in the mountainous highland is soil erosion and nutrients runoff. Alternative cropping ways were searched to reduce soil erosion and to ensure farm income in the mountainous highland agricultural region. Three edible wild plants including goatsbeard, Korean thistle, and aster, were selected to test as alternative crops to reduce soil erosion in mountain agriculture of highland area. In the first year, the soil losses from the alternative cropping were 26 to 63 percents of the soil loss from summer radish cultivated by conservation tillage with contour and plastic film mulching. The relative soil losses in the second year ranged from 2.8 to 5.5 percents in comparison with radish cultivation. Rapid surface coverage contributed to successive soil loss protection by these alternative crops. Farm net profit of these crops was greater than that of radish. Monitoring of yields of Korean thistle or aster for further experiments, however, might be necessary for economic cultivation due to yield reduction caused by consecutive production.

  • Silibinin은 milk thistle에서 분리된 주된 생리활성 성분으로 강력한 항산화제, 항암활성에 대해서 보고되어 있다. 하지만 항암활성에 대한 정확한 기전에 대해서는 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 인간 전립선 암세포주인 PC-3 세포를 이용하여 세포사멸의 기전을 조사하였다. MTT assay를 통해 세포독성을 확인하였고, PI 염색을 통해 세포주기를 확인하고, Annexin-V/PI 염색을 통한 세포사멸을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 western blot을 이용하여 세포주기 및 세포사멸에 관련된 단백질 발현 정도를 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과에서 silibinin은 인간 전립선 암세포주인 PC-3 세포에서 세포주기관련 단백질의 발현을 조절하여 세포주기 진행을 억제함으로써 세포사멸을 유도 함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Luteolin 5-O-glucoside is the major flavonoid from Korean thistle, Cirsium maackii. We previously reported the anti-inflammatory activities of luteolin 5-O-glucoside in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. In this study, we determined the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of luteolin 5-O-glucoside through the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in vitro and in vivo. Results revealed that luteolin 5-O-glucoside dose-dependently inhibited NO production and expression of iNOS and COX-2 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Luteolin 5-O-glucoside also significantly inhibited the translocation of $NF-{\kappa}B$, the activation of MAPKs, and ROS generation in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, protein expressions of Nrf-2 and HO-1 were also upregulated by luteolin 5-O-glucoside treatment. Moreover, luteolin 5-O-glucoside inhibited ${\lambda}-carrageenan-induced$ mouse paw edema by 65.34% and 48.31% at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight, respectively. These findings indicate potential anti-inflammatory effect of luteolin 5-O-glucoside particularly by downregulating $NF-{\kappa}B$ and upregulating HO-1/Nrf-2 pathway.

  • Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) is a metabolic disorder found in caged layer hens and causes reduced egg production and sudden death. Dandelion (Taraxacum coreanum, TC) and milk thistle (Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense, CJ) are well known wild herbs inhabiting Korean peninsula and presenting antioxidative effects. This study investigated alleviate effects of these herbal mixture (6:4, w/w) composed of dried powder of TC and CJ against fatty liver in laying hens. The herbs mixture 5.0, 10.0, 20.0 or 40.0 g/kg feed was provided via feed admixture for 3 weeks to laying hens having FLHS. FLHS was induced by intramuscular injection of β-estradiol (2 mg/kg bw) 2 times per week for 3 weeks and supply with high caloric feed. Egg production rate was reduced from 76.2% at pre-treatment to 49.4% at 1 week and further decreased according to β-estradiol treatment. Increment of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol (T-Chol) and total bilirubin (T-Bil) and decrement of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) with fatty liver were found by the treatment of β-estradiol. Supplementation of TC and CJ mixture via feed admixture recovered the reduction of egg production and attenuated serological changes and gross and pathological lesions of fatty liver with the best amelioration effects at 5 and 10 g TC and CJ mixture per kg feed. In conclusion, TC and CJ mixture attenuates FLHS by means of antioxidative effects. Further mechanistic study is required to explain TC and CJ's amelioration effects against FLHS in laying hens.
