The edible part of cucurbita moschata Duch, which is commonly used as a Korean traditional medicine as well as a popular food source, was studied to isolate anti-complementary substance. Extracts of Cucurbita moschata Duch showed significant anti-complementary activities on the classical pathway of the complement system. Especially, the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch had more activity than that of the complement system. Especially, the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch had more activity than that of the green one in terms of the overall anti-complementary activity. Among the extracts of various organic solvents of the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch, chloroform and ethyl-acetate extracts, which are non-polar solvent extracts, showed the strongest activities. These results suggest that the major difference in the solvent extraction for the anti-complementary substances depends on the change in the chemical composition such as the fatty acid with the degree of ripening.

장수버섯 자실체로부터 분리된 강력한 항보체 활성 다당체인 FF-AP1을 정제하고 이것의 화학적 특성을 구명하기 위해 본 실험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. ConA-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography에 의해 FF-AP1은 $FF-AP1{\alpha}$와 $FF-AP1{\beta}$로 더 분리되었으며 이 중 항보체 활성의 주 유효 다당체인 $FF-AP1{\beta}$는 $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서도 약 70%의 항보체 활성도를 나타내었다. $FF-AP1{\beta}$는 약 9.6%의 단백질을 함유한 산성다당체이며 glutamic acid와 aspartic acid의 함량이 상대적으로 다른 아미노산들에 비해 높았다. 이것의 분자량은 gel filtration법에 의해 15,000인 것으로 추정되었고 적외선 분광 분석에서 $890cm^{-1}$ 부근의 소peak를 탐지함으로써 ${\beta}$ glucosidic 결합의 존재를 확인하였다. Gas chromatography에 의한 구성당 조성 분석 결과, 주 구성당이 glucose, mannose, 및 galactose인 galacto-manno-glucan이었고, 소량의 rhamnose, xylose, fucose와 uronic acid도 탐지되었다.

Sarcodon aspratus (Thelepholaceae), a native mushroom, is distributed in Korea and Japan, and has been widely used in traditional food and fork medicines. To confirm the biological activities of Sarcodon aspratus, the liver protecting activity, anti-clotting activity, and anti-complementary activity of the water extract, EtOH extract, and the water soluble proteoglycan part of S. aspratus were investigated. The EtOH, and water extract of S. aspratus decreased the GOT and GPT releases induced by $CCl_4$ in a dose-dependant manner. On the other hand, the water soluble proteoglycan part of S. aspratus showed weak inhibitory activity. In addition, the EtOH and water extract of S. aspratus prevented $CCl_4-induced$ hepatotoxicity, as described by a liver histopathologic study. To confirm the anti-clotting activity, the APTT and PT assay were carried out. As a result, only the crude proteoglycan part of S. aspratus showed the anti-coagulating activity, and this result might be due to the inhibition of intrinsic clotting system. Also, the crude proteoglycan part of S. aspratus showed the anti-complementary activity, and the $IC_{50}$ value was $50\;{\mu}l/ml$.

Citron seed extracts (CSEs) were made using distilled water (CSEW), ethanol (CSEE), and n-hexane (CSEH), to measure the total polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, and anti-complementary activity. The total polyphenol content was observed the highest in CSEE (188.71 ${\mu}g/mL$), and occurred in the following order: CSEE>CSEW (141.11 ${\mu}g/mL$)>CSEH (26.19 ${\mu}g/mL$) at 10 mg/mL. CSEE (63.56%) and CSEW (56.61%) showed significantly higher DPPH radical scavenging activities when compared with CSEH (28.57%). ABTS radical scavenging activities of CSEE (45.53%) and CSEW (40.02%) were also observed to be higher, whereas CSEH did not show ABTS radical scavenging activity. Anti-complementary activity of CSEE (26.85%) showed a greater activity than that of CSEW (7.84%) at 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$. Limonin and nomilin contents had the highest values (1.882% and 2.089%) in CSEE, and with 0.327% and 0.139% in CSEW; however, CSEH showed relatively very low values at 0.061% and 0.026%, respectively. Among the CSEs tested, CSEE as a by-product from citron may provide an important source of dietary antioxidant compounds with rich polyphenol and limonoid contents, and immunopotentiating activity, including the complement activation factor.

대복피(빈랑나무의 과피)로부터 면역조절 역할이 기대되는 2종의 보체활성화(항보체) 다당을 정제하고 그 작용양식에 대해 검토하였다. 활성다당 AC-2-IIIa 및 AC-2-IIIc는 농도가 증가함에 따라 항보체 활성이 증가하는 양상을 보였으며, 2가 금속이온 부재시 대조구에 비해 거의 완전한 활성의 감소를 보인 반면, $Ca^{2+}$ 이온만을 선택적으로 제거한 경우 활성이 상당량 유지되었다. 또한 이들 활성다당들은 비교적 강력한 보체 제 2경로 활성화능을 나타내었으며, $Ca^{2+}$ 이온 부재 상태에서 정상인의 혈청과 반응시, C3의 분해산물을 anti-human C3를 이용한 면역 전기영동법에 의해 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 anti-human whole serum를 이용한 면역 전기영동 결과, ${\alpha}2-M$ peak 대비 3rd peak의 높이 비율은 AC-2-IIIa가 $1.50{\pm}0.04$, AC-2-IIIc가 $1.22{\pm}0.08$이었는바, 이러한 사실로부터 대복피 유래 AC-2-IIIa 및 AC-2-IIIc의 보체 활성화 양식은 classical 및 alternative pathway 양경로를 모두 경유함을 알 수 있었다.

Objectives : Anti-oxidation activities of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen were compared and evaluated. Methods : We tested the anti-oxidant effect through in vitro experiment and in vivo experiment that induced oxidative stress using ethanol. Results : 1. In the anti-oxidative activities of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen they had high effects in case of the scavenging activitie of DPPH and superoxide anion radical, and inhibitory effect of linoleic acid oxidation. 2. Malvae Semen had large quantities of phenolic compound than Abutili Semen, but the anti-oxidative activity of Malvae Semen was weaker than that of Abutili Semen. 3. The anti-oxidative effect of Abutili Semen was more strong than that of Malvae Semen in the rat stressed by ethanol. Conclusion : Anti-oxidation activities of Abutili Semen were stronger than those of Malvae Semen. Therefore, the complementary usage of Malvae Semen and Abutili Semen can be considered.

It was observed that the hot-water extract of the bark of Kalopanax pictus N. had the highest anti-complementary activity among the 11 kinds of forest materials. Methanol-and ethanol-soluble portions had low anti-complementary activities, but crude polysaccharide. HKP-0 had a high activity of 80%. HKP-0 contained 54.8% of total sugar and 27.9% of protein. The neutral sugars of HKP-0 consisted of mainly arabinose, galactose and glucose. HKP-4 fraction obtained by cetavlon treatment of HKP-0 showed the highest anti-complementary activity of 90%. The activity was not changed by pronase digestion bu decreased greatly by periodate oxidation. HKP-4 consisted of mainly arabinose and glucose with molar ratio of 1.0 : 22.4, HKP-4-I, an unabsorbed fraction from HKP-4 on DEAE Sepharose CL-6B column showed higher yield and activity than those of absorbed fractions. HKP-4-I was homogeneous, and its molecular weight was about 25,000. HKP-4-I contained 84.0% of neutral sugar and consisted of arabinose and glucose with molar ratio of 1.0 : 11.2. The anti-complementary activity of HKP-4-I was not decreased by the treatment of polymyxin B, and the polysaccharide activated both classical and alternative pathway in complement system. Void volume fraction obtained from HKP-4-I hydrolyzed with ${\alpha}$-amylase on Sephadex G-25 column only had a high anti-complementary activity.

Trifoliate orange seed extracts (TSEs) were made using either distilled water (TW), ethanol (TE), or n-hexane (TH), to measure total polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, and anti-complementary activity. The results showed that the total polyphenol content showed higher value at TE (235.24 ${\mu}g/mL$, p<0.05) than those of TW (132.65 ${\mu}g/mL$) and TH (165.44 ${\mu}g/mL$) at 10 mg/mL and TE exerted the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (61.77%, p<0.05), which occurred in the following order: TE TW (56.87%)>TH (39.78%). The results of ABTS radical scavenging activity showed that TW (34.26%) and TE (31.81%) showed similar activities, which were higher than TH (12.74%, p<0.05). Anti-complementary activity of TE (61% at 500 ${\mu}g/mL$) showed a higher activity when compared with the positive control (60% at 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$) polysaccharide-K (PSK), a known immuno-active polysaccharide from Coriolus versicolor. Consequently, among TSEs, TE is a byproduct from trifoliate orange and could be an important source of dietary polyphenolic antioxidant compounds and immunopotentiating activity, including complement activation.

The Elfvingia applanata (EA), Hericium erinaceum (HE), Grifola frondosa (GF), Pholiota nameko (PN), Pleurotus eryngii (PE), Trametes suaveolens (TS), Fomes fomentarius (FF), and Inonotus obliquus (IO) could produce the endo- (EN) and exo-biopolymer (EX) in submerged culture. The highest anti-complementary activity of the EN was exhibited by PN (49.1%), followed by HE (38.6%), TS (37.0%), and FF (33.0%), whereas the high activity of the EX was found with GF (59.8%), followed by HE (36.3%), TS (30.8%), and IO (28.8%). The EN of P. nameko (EN-PN) and EX of G. frondosa (EX-GF) were found to contain 78.6% and 41.2% carbohydrates, while 21.4% and 58.8% protein, respectively. The sugar and amino acid compositions of EN-PN and EX-GF were also analyzed in detail.
