Antifungal and antioxidative activities of Phellodendron amurense extracts were investigated for use as a natural preservative. After separation of P. amurense into phloem, xylem, leaf and fruit each part was subjected to methanol extraction. Each MeOH extract was further fractionated with several solvents(n-hexane, methylene chloride and ethylacetate). Among the methanol extracts, extracts of phloem and leaf inhibited effectively the growth of mold fungi and rot fungi, respectively. Especially, ethylacetate fraction from phloem showed the highest growth inhibitory effects against fungi tested, such as P. citreonigrum H3, P. toxicarium H4, P. corylophilu H5, A. clavatus, P. osteatus, S. commune, and G. lucidum. The fractions of fruit, which had lower antifungal activities mostly than those of phloem, strongly inhibited rot fungi such as G. lucidum, T. versicolor, and T. palustris. Compared to ferulic acid which is well known antioxidant, ethylacetate fraction of fruit showed high antioxidative activities on concentration of 1 to $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in DPPH radical scavenging activity. As a result, antifungal and antioxidative activities of P. amurense suggest that its extract and fraction have a possibility as conservative of cultural heritage because it might get conservation effects against deteriorating microorganisms of cultural heritage.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of two well-known natural antioxidants, vitamin C (VC) and vitamin E (VE), on the antifungal activity of honokiol against Candida albicans. The broth microdilution method was employed to test the antifungal activities of honokiol with or without antioxidants in the medium against C. albicans strain. Intracellular reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation were determined by fluorescence staining assay. Mitochondrial dysfunction was assessed by detecting the mitochondrial DNA and the mitochondrial membrane potential. We observed that VC could significantly potentiate the antifungal activities of honokiol while VE reduced the effectiveness of honokiol against C. albicans. In addition, VC accelerated honokiol-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibited glycolysis leading to a decrease in cellular ATP. However, VE could protect against mitochondrial membrane lipid peroxidation and rescue mitochondrial function after honokiol treatment. Our research provides new insight into the understanding of the action mechanism of honokiol and VC combination against C. albicans.

To handle the development of antifungal drug resistance, the development of new structural modules and new modes of action for antifungals have been highlighted recently. Here, the antifungal activity of quinonemethidal triterpenoids such as celastrol, dihydrocelastrol, iguestein, pristimerin, and tingenone isolated from Tripterygium regelii were identified (MIC $0.269-19.0{\mu}M$). C. glabrata was the most susceptible to quinonemethide among the tested fungi. Furthermore, quinonemethide suppressed cyctochrome c peroxidase expression dramatically, decreasing fungal viability caused by the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide. Thus, cyctochrome c peroxidase downregulation of quinonemethide may be a key mode of action for antifungals.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antioxidative activity of rhizome essential oil of Kaempferia parviflora Wall. ex Baker. The essential oil extracted by hydrodistillation was chemically profiled by GC/MS analysis. The antioxidative activity was determined and evaluated spectroscopically by the 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging assays. According to the results, the major essential oil components were camphene (18.03%), β-pinene (14.25%), a-pinene (12.38%), endo-borneol (10.23%), β-copaene (8.38%), and linalool (8.20%). K. parviflora rhizome oil possessed antioxidant potential, exhibiting DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities as high as 80.90 and 94.04%, respectively, at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. The corresponding IC₅₀ values were 0.451±0.051 and 0.527±0.022 mg/mL, respectively (IC₅₀ values for ascorbic acid, as the standard, were 0.209±0.016 and 0.245±0.022 mg/mL, respectively). The mycelium of F. oxysporum was distorted and collapsed when treated with 0.5 mg/mL of the EO of K. parviflora rhizome for 3 days treatment, which may provide an important information for exploring the metabolism of the fungicide K. parviflora rhizome and its derived compounds against F. oxysporum. This study provides the chemical properties of the essential oil of K. parviflora rhizome grown in Vietnam and their potential antioxidant and antifungal activities.

본 연구에서 기존의 생리활성이 알려진 차가 버섯(Inonatus obliquus), 모링가(Moringa oleifera), 그라비올라(Anona muricata), 단풍마(Dioscorea quinquelaba), 가시오가피(Acanhopanax senticosus), 음양곽(Epimedii herba), 인진쑥(Artemisia capillaris), 그리고 오디(Morus alba) 추출물과 원두커피를 혼합하여 기능성 음료를 제조하였으며, 각각의 음료를 C1에서 C7으로 명명하였다. 각 음료의 항균, 항곰팡이, 항산화 활성 및 총 폴리페놀 함량을 조사하였다. 항균 및 항곰팡이에 대한 활성은 Gram positive bacteria인 Staphylococcus aureus에 대하여 C4, C5, C6 및 C7이 활성을 나타내었고, 특히 C7인 경우 항생제 내성균주인 MRSA에 대하여 강한 활성을 나타내었다. Gram negative bacteria에 대한 결과는 E. coli D31에 대하여 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 C1에서 C7 모든 음료가 활성을 나타내었고, 반면에 곰팡이인 Candida albicans에 대하여는 활성을 나타내지 않았다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 C6의 경우가 7.37 mg/g으로 가장 높은 결과를 나타내었고, C5의 경우는 3.78 mg/g으로 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. DPPH로 항산화 능력을 측정한 결과, C1에서 C7 모두 강한 활성을 나타내었고, 특히 C7인 경우 0.5 mg/ml의 농도에서 88%라는 높은 free radical 소거능력을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 각 기능성 음료의 생리활성의 기초자료를 제공하고 다양한 기능성 건강음료뿐 만 아니라 고부가가치 기능성 제품을 창출 할 수 있는 근거를 마련한 것으로 생각된다.
