Objectives : This study investigated the anti-oxidant activities and improving effect of Phellinus linteus and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Extract (PGE) on Atopic Dermatitis. Methods : 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, 2,2′-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical, Hydrogen peroxides scavenging activities and Superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities were used for the measurement of anti-oxidant ability. Cytotoxicity of PGE in Raw 264.7 cell was evaluated by MTT assay. To evaluate the anti-atopic dermatitis effect of PGE, a total of 33 patients with atopic dermatitis were observed trans epidermal water loss, skin moisture content, modified SCORAD index of atopic dermatitis and pruritic degree after applying the PGE for 4 weeks. Results : PGE scavenged DPPH ($IC_{50}=25ppm$) effectively, ABTS and Hydrogenperoxides scavenged similar to BHA. As for the SOD-like activity, it had lower effect than ascorbic acid, but it comparable activities in 500ppm. There was no cytotoxicity at PGE at concentrations of 10,000ppm. In clinical research about PGE on patients with atopic dermatitis, skin condition was improved. After 4 weeks, the application of PGE increased skin moisture content from 19.43 to 31.22. Moreover, it reduced the skin temperature (from 32.5 to 31.9), skin pH (from 5.39 to 5.22), trans epidermal water loss (from 39.03 to 24.46) and pruritus score (from 6.07 to 3.87). In addition, the Modified SCORAD index decreased from 31.28 to 20.3. Conclusions : In conclusion, PGE possesses anti-oxidant and anti-atopic dermatitis activities, thus it could be potentially valuable as anti-atopic dermatitis material.

The purpose of this study was to research for anti-oxidation and anti-wrinkle effects of Acar mono Sap (AM). To cosmetic effect of AM, safety effect (MTT assay), anti-wrinkle effect (elastase, MMP-1 inhibition assay) and anti-oxidant effect (DPPH assay) were measured. When water extract of AM was used for cell viability, it was over 100% at 6% (6 ml/100 ml in phosphate buffer) concentration. AM showed 45.7% elastase inhibition and 23.7% MMP-1 inhibition at 50% (50 ml/100 ml in phosphate buffer) concentration so that it had good anti-wrinkle characteristic. And AM showed 68.9% antioxidation capacity at 50% concentration by using a DPPH assay. Consequently, AM can be used as natural materials or additives for human skin owing to their beneficial biologic functions, including the anti-wrinkle effect, for cosmetic compositions.

왕겨초액은 최근 목초액을 대신할 수 있는 소재로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 왕겨초액과 목초액의 항산화 활성을 비교하고, 왕겨초액과 홍삼 및 로즈마리 농축액과의 발효를 통한 시료의 항산화 활성을 비교하여 보았다. DPPH와 FRAP 활성 실험을 통해 항산화 활성을 알아본 결과, 왕겨초액의 항산화 활성은 목초액 보다는 다고 미흡하나, 로즈마리와의 동시 발효를 통해 왕겨초액의 항산화 활성을 높일 수 있으므로, 이취 제거로 인한 기능성 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, we investigated the biological activities such as anti-tumor, anti-oxidant and antiinflammatory activities as well as single oral dose toxicity of fermented Rhus verniciflua extract (FRVE). In order to examine anti-tumor activity of FRVE, the sarcoma 180 cells were treated with FRVE at various concentrations (0.03, 0.3, 3 and 30 mg/mL) in microtetrazolium (MTT) assay. In MTT assay, all the cells treated with FRVE at various concentrations have shown a significant difference compared with control (p < 0.05). In xanthine oxidase inhibition assay to examine the antioxidant activity, the xanthine oxidase inhibition rate of FRVE at 1.5 mg/mL and 15 mg/mL was $85{\pm}15.01%$ and $99{\pm}16.02%$, respectively. Nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells showed that FRVE showed a significant anti-inflammation effect at 3 mg/mL (p < 0.05). In single oral dose toxicity study, no differences were observed between control and treated groups in clinical signs, body weight gains, feed and water consumptions. The results indicated that lethal dose 50 ($LD_{50}$) of FRVE was found to be higher than 5,000 mg/kg in this experiment. From the above results, we may suggest that FRVE might have useful as a material for functional food and/or animal pharmaceutics.

Background : We studied the anti-oxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effects of Spiraea fritschiana Schneid extract (SFSE). Methods and Results : The SFSE was prepared using methanol and was evaluated for its total phenol and flavonoid content, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free-radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and effect on nitric oxide (NO) production, and cell viability by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The total phenol content was $212.78{\mu}g{\cdot}galli$c acid equivalent (GAE)/mg and the total flavonoid content was $66.84{\mu}g{\cdot}quercetin$ equivalent (QE)/mg. The extract showed antioxidant activity (DPPH free-radical scavenging activity) with $RC_{50}$ value of $76.61{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The reducing power of the extract was Abs 0.58 at $250{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Cell viability was determined using the MTT 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. To evaluate anti-inflammatory activity, we examined the inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-(LPS)-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. The NO inhibition rate was 90% at $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ SFSE. At the same concentration, the expression of pro-inflammatory genes such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 also decreased. Conclusions : Our results suggest that SFSE is a novel resource for the development of foods and drugs that possess anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of Osung-tang(OST) extract. Methods : MTT assay was performed to confirm the survival rate of RAW 264.7 cells treated with OST extract(50-400㎍/㎖) and the production of NO from LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells was confirmed. The mRNA expression of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB were measured by real-time PCR. The protein expression of iNOS, COX-2 and p-IκB were measured by western blot and the anti-oxidant activity of OST extract(50-400㎍/㎖) was investigated by measuring DPPH scavenging activity. Results : OST extract showed a cell survival rate of 90% or more at 50-400㎍/㎖. The NO production was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner in RAW 264.7 cells treated with LPS on OST treated group. mRNA expression levels of iNOS, COX-2 and NF-κB decreased in a concentration-dependent manner after treatment with OST(50-400㎍/㎖). Protein expression levels of iNOS, COX-2 and p-IκB decreased in a concentration-dependent manner after treatment with OST(50-400㎍/㎖). It was found that OST has a high free-radical scavenging ability. Conclusions : These results suggest that OST extract can be used as a treatment for various skin diseases by demonstrating its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects.

전복가공부산물인 내장의 이용가치를 향상시키고자 열수추출, 에탄올추출 등의 방법으로 유효성분을 추출하고 항산화 및 항피부노화 활성을 측정하였다. DPPH 라디칼소거능 분석결과 Tris-HCl 추출물은 $58.60{\pm}0.88%$으로 높은 라디칼소거능을 보였으며, 다음으로 에탄올추출물은 $55.40{\pm}0.62%$의 라디칼소거능을 보였다. Anti-elastase활성을 분석한 결과 에탄올추출물이 다른 시험구에 비하여 현저하게 높은 활성을 보였다. 전복내장추출물의 세포독성을 확인하기 위하여 human dermal fibroblast 세포에 대하여 MTT 시험결과 세포독성은 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 에탄올 추출물의 농도를 달리하여 human dermal fibroblast 세포에 대해pro-collagen type I 생합성능시험결과 10.0 ${\mu}g/mL$에서 $705.30{\pm}3.06$ ng/mL로 retinoic acid $453.60{\pm}2.82$ ng/mL보다 우수한 결과를 보였다. MMP-1 활성은 10 ${\mu}g/mL$에서 $45.30{\pm}0.80$ ng/mL를 보여 control의 $62.37{\pm}0.56$ ng/mL 보다 감소정도가 낮았다. 본 연구는 전복내장추출물의 항산화와 항노화활성에 관하여 최초로 시도되었으며 향후 전복내장을 이용한 다양한 연구의 기초자료로서 중요한 의미가 있다.
