국내외의 각종 피부관련 약재를 중심으로 천연물 data-base를 구축하고, 이로부터 피부 미백에 효과가 있다고 언급된 한방 약재를 추출, 용매 분획하여 얻은 분획물들을 B16 melanoma cell assay를 이용하여 미백 효과를 평가하였다. 이들 중 특히 미백효과가 우수한 여로(藜蘆, Veratrum nigrum L.)의 뿌리를 대상으로 성분연구하여 3개의 미백유효성분인 (3S,20S,25S)-22,26-iminocholesta-5,22(N)-dien-3-ol (verazine), (3S,20R,25S)-22,26-iminocholesta-5,22(N)-dien-3-ol (epi-verazine) and (3R,23R)-14,15,16,17-tetradehydroveratraman-3,23,diol (veratramine)을 분리, 구조분석하였다. 여로로부터 분리된 3종의 미백 유효성분은 흑화 작용의 주요 효소인 tyrosinase에 대한 작용은 확인할수 없었으나, B16 F1 mouse melanoma에 대한 멜라닌 합성 억제능은 $IC_{50}<1\;{\mu}g/ml$로 강하게 나타났다. 또한 이와 같은 강한 멜라닌 합성 저해능을 갖는 이들 물질들의 안전성 확인을 통하여 향후 새로운 미백물질로 이용될 수 있을것으로 사료된다.

This research identified a disturbance regime caused by wild boar in a mature Quercus mongolica forest and analyzed the impact of this disturbance on the structure and distribution of herbaceous plants in Mt. Jeombong, Korea. We demonstrate that disturbance by wild boar was most frequent from winter to early spring, but also occurred year round. Areas which were frequently disturbed by wild boar included the mountain ridge, the mild slope on the north face, and sites with high concentration of Erythronium japonicum. The disturbance cycle by the wild boar in this region was estimated at approximately 2.8 years. The wild boar's reduced the community's species diversity and herbaceous coverage, and increased its evenness. This disturbance reduced the coverage of spring ephemeral; Veratrum nigrum var. ussuriense, Symplocarpus niponnicus, Anemone koraiensis and Corydalis turtschaninovii were particularly sensitive. In addition, summer green herbaceous plants such as Astilbe chinensis, Ainsliaea acerifolia, Meehania urticifolia, and Pimpinella brachycarpa were sensitive to the wild boar's. It was found that wild boar ate E. japonicum most selectively of all plants in this investigation area. In conclusion, together with micro-topography, wind, formation of gaps of a forest and rearrangement of litter layer, wild boar's disturbance is an important factor influencing the dynamic changes of an herbaceous community in a mature temperate hardwood forest.
