This study evaluated the anti-Helicobacter and anti-inflammatory effects of Sohamhyungtang (SHHT). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of SHHT against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was determined by the agar dilution method. Expression of the H. pylori cagA gene in the presence of SHHT was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Inhibition of H. pylori urease by SHHT was determined by the phenol-hypochlorite assay. Antiadhesion activity of SHHT was measured by urea-phenol red reagent. Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in AGS cells was measured with Griess reagent. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and IL-8 mRNA expression in AGS cells which were infected with H. pylori was determined by qRT-PCR. IL-8 level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The MIC of SHHT was $100{\mu}g/mL$ and the expression of cagA gene was decreased about 25 folds in the presence of SHHT. H. pylori urease was inhibited 90% by SHHT. SHHT inhibited H. pylori adhesion on AGS cell in a concentration dependent manner. mRNA expression of iNOS and IL-8 and the production of NO and IL-8 were significantly decreased in the presence of SHHT. In conclusion, SHHT showed anti-Helicobacter activity and has potent anti-inflammatory effect on H. pylori-induced inflammation in human gastric epithelial AGS cells.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-helicobacter activity and anti-inflammatory activity of Angelica dahurica (AD). The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of AD against Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori), expression of the H. pylori cagA gene in the presence of AD was determined. Inhibition of H. pylori urease by AD, inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in AGS cells was measured. IL-8 mRNA expression in AGS cells which were infected with H. pylori and IL-8 level was measured. The MIC of MeOH Ex. of AD was $250{\mu}g/mL$ and the expression of cagA gene was decreased about 88% in the presence of AD.

Infection with Helicobacter (H.) pylori is strongly associated with duodenal and gastric ulcers. Substantial epidemiological data has revealed that high rates of H. pylori infection might be related to high rates of gastric cancer. In this study, a medicinal herbal extracts were examined and screened for anti-H. pylori activity. Seventy percent ethanol was used for herbal extraction. For anti-H. pylori activity study, the inhibitory zone tests with 74 herbal compounds were conducted. As the results, thirteen compounds including Cinnamomi Cortex, Magnoliae Cortex and Meliae Fructus were revealed strong anti-H. pylori activities.

Potential anti-Helicobacter pylori agent dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol was synthesized in 44% overall yield, starting from vanillin which could be commercially available. Carbon extension of vanillin followed by the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, a biomolecular radical coupling reaction and DIBAL-H reduction gave dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol.

The anti-Helicobacter pylori activity, cytotoxicity, and anti-inflammatory activity of white ginseng extract (WGE) were investigated in vitro in this study. The antimicrobial effects of WGE toward H. pylori strains 52 J99, SSI, and 51 were tested using the disk diffusion method. Among these H. pylori strains, H. pylori 52 was the most sensitive, having the largest inhibition zone (19 mm), followed by J99, SSI, and 51. The zone of inhibition due to WGE increased significantly with increasing dosage. The cytotoxicity of WGE toward the human cancer cell lines A-549 (human lung carcinoma), HEC-1-B (human endometrial adenocarcinoma), HeLa (human uterin adenocarcinoma), and SW-156 (human kidney carcinoma) was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthizol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylate-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. WGE exhibited an inhibitory effect on cell growth at 2.0 mg/mL for all tumor cell lines. An analysis of anti-inflammatory activity using the RAW 264.7 cell line showed that the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production increased as the WGE content increased. These results demonstrate the potential of WGE to be used as a health-promoting substance.

In this study, a medicinal herbal plant, Meliae fructus, was examined and screened for anti-Helicobacter (H.) pylori activity. Seventy percent ethanol was used for herbal extraction. For anti-H. pylori activity screening, inhibitory zone tests as an in vitro assay and in vivo study using a Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) model were performed. Also, the safety of herbal compounds was evaluated by animal study. As a result of inhibitory zone test, Meliae fructus extract demonstrated strong anti-H. pylori activities. Also, as results of in vivo animal studies, Meliae fructus demonstrated strong therapeutic effects against H. pylori infection according to the criteria of histological examination and rapid urease test. As results of the safety study, after 28 days treatment of the Meliae fructus extract, the animals were not detected any grossly and histological changes. These results demonstrate that it can be successfully cured against H. pylori infection and protected from H. pylori-induced pathology with Meliae fructus. It could be a promising native herbal treatment for patients with gastric complaints including gastric ulcer caused by H. pylori.

14종 한약재의 70% 에탄을 추출물의 Helicobacter pylori에 대한 항균활성은 황련 (Coptis japonica Makino)이 가장 뛰어 났으며, 소엽 (Perilla frutescens var. acuta KUDO), 소목 (Caesalpinia sappan L.) 및 형개 (Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq.)의 경우에도 높은 항균활성을 나타내었다. 그러나 Helicobacter pylori의 위내 서식을 도와주는 것으로 알려진 urease 활성억제능은 연교 (Forsythiae Fructus)의 메탄올 (80%) 추출물에서 가장 높았으며, 소목 및 형개의 추출물도 높았다. 특히 연교의 경우 한약재 추출물을 넣지 않은 대조군과 비교하여 80% 이상의 활성이 억제되었다. 연교의 메탄올 추출물을 물, 에틸아세테이트 (ethyl acetate), 부탄을 순으로 분획하여 각 분획물에 대한 urease 활성억제능을 검색한 결과 에틸아세테이트 분획에서 92%의 urease 활성이 억제되었다.

본 연구는 H. pylori를 산란계에 면역화하여 얻은 항-H. pylori 난황항체 분말의 H. pylori에 대한 억제효과를 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 마우스의 종에 따라서 H. pylori에 대한 감수성의 차이가 있다고 보고된 바 있다(25). Richard 등의 연구결과에 의하면 C57BL/6 mice는 H. pylori에 대하여 약 70%의 감수성을 가진 것으로 보고하였다(26). 이번 실험에서는 7주째의 urease test 결과 항-H. pylori 난황항체 분말을 급이한 군에서 33%의 낮은 양성율을 보였고, 흡광도 측정결과도 유의적으로 감소하였다. 조직학적 검사에서 접종대조군의 위조직은 염증성 세포의 집적 등 특이적인 염증성 변화를 동반하였지만, 항-H. pylori 난황항체 분말을 급이한 군에서는 특이적 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. H. pylori의 제균효과를 확인하는 방법중 하나인 ureA 유전자 확인결과, 항-H. pylori 난황항체 분말을 급이한 군에서는 3주째보다 7주째 많이 감소하였다. 항-H. pylori 난황항체 분말의 급이시기는 감염전이나 감염후에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 급이수준은 5%보다는 10% 첨가수준이 약간 높게 나타났다. 이 연구결과로 동물시험에서 항-H. pylori 난황항체 분말이 H. pylori 억제 효과가 있음이 확인되었다.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of fractions and major aglycon compounds (baicalein, chrysin, oroxylin A, wogonin) of Scutellariae Radix. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurement, DPPH radical-scavenging assay, DNA protection assay, and urease inhibition analysis were performed. The ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction showed the potent anti-Helicobacter activity, and therefore, compounds in the EtOAc fraction were subjected to further assay. The MICs of chrysin, oroxylin A, and wogonin against Helicobacter pylori 26695 were 6.25, 12.5 and $25{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Baicalein exhibited the most effective DPPH radical-scavenging activity. DNA protection using Fenton reaction, chrysin, oroxylin A, and wogonin showed effective DNA protective effect. This result was also confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Regarding Jack bean urease (0.5 mg/mL, 50 unit/mg) inhibition, 20 mM ofbaicalein and chrysin inhibited urease activity by 88.2% and 72.5%, respectively.
