Aqueous fractions from Korean red ginseng inhibited the phosphorylations of 40 KD and 20 KD polypeptides which were induced by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (100 nM) in human platelets. Much more carbohydrates were contained in the aqueous fractions than proteins. An aqueous fraction extracted with methanol, mainly, consists of glycoproteins, molecular weights of which were below 18 KD. We may infer that the aqueous fraction from Korean red ginseng do antitumorous and antiplatelet functions.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative activities and tyrosinase inhibition effects of fractions from the distilled water extract of Inonotus obliquus. Moreover, GC-MS based analysis with trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization was carried out for active compound in the extract of I. obliquus. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate fraction was 0.393 mg/ml as a result of the most effective than other fractions. Meanwhile, aqueous fraction showed higher effect in tyrosinase inhibitoty activity. In GC-MS based analysis with TMS derivatization, 7 compounds including syringic acid, vanillic acid and protocatechuic acid were observed in ethyl acetate fraction, and oxalic acid is the main compound in aqueous fraction. As a result, it was confirmed that oxalic acid in aqueous fraction from the distilled water extract of I. obliquus was a compound showing tyrosinase inhibition effect.

Juglans mandshurica bark was collected and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone. The extracts were concentrated and then sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, and $H_2O$ to be freeze dried. A portion of $H_2O$ fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column using aqueous methanol to isolate (S)-2,3-HHDP-D-glucopyranoside (1). Some of EtOAc fraction was also treated on a Sephadex LH-20 column using aqueous methanol and EtOH-hexane mixture to purify pedunculagin (2). The structures of these two epimeric ellagitannins were elucidated by spectroscopic tools, NMR and MS.

This study was carried out to evaluate antioxidative, cytotoxic and chemosensitizing effects for anti-tumor activities of Naesosungma-tang (NST). The results were as follows ; 1. The oxidative effects were measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity. NST water extract was showed more effective than ethanol extract and also various solvent fractions from NST showed effective in the following order : butanol fraction > ethyl acetate fraction > hexane fraction > aqueous fraction. 2. NST water extract was showed cytotoxic effects on the human cancer cells Calu-6 cell and SNU-601 cell, but not on MCF-7 cell. 3. The viability of cells was measured in 4 kinds of solvent fractions from water extract of NST by MTT assay. The results were as followings : 1) On the NIH3T3 cell, $IC_{50}$ value was $200{\sim}300\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in three fractions except aqueous fraction. 2) On the Caco-2 cell, effective only in the butanol fraction. 3) On the Calu-6 cell, most effective in hexane fraction($IC_{50}:80\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and effective in ethyl acetate and butanol fraction($IC_{50}:100{\sim}120\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$). 4) On the MCF-7 cell, $IC_{50}$ value was similar in three fractions except aqueous fraction. 5) On the SNU-601 cell, $IC_{50}$ value was within $100\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in three fractions except aqueous fraction. 6) On the HCT-1l6 cell, $IC_{50}$ value was $150{\sim}200\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in three fractions except aqueous fraction. 7) On the AML-2/WT cell, not effective in four kinds of solvent fractions. 4. In combined effects of NST and vincristine on AML-2/D100 cell, water and ethanol extracts of NST and hexane fraction of water extracts of NST more effectively inhibited proliferation of AML-2/D100 cell. These results Suggest that NST has antioxidative and cytotoxic effects against Caco-2, Calu-6, MCF-7, SNU-601, HCT116 and NIH3T3 cell especially Calu-6 and SNU-601 cell, and also chemosensitizing effects against AML-2/D100 cell in combined vincristine.

아질산염을 이용한 키토산의 부분가수분해 반응에서 반응이 진행됨에 따라서 탈아세틸화도는 감소하였으며 가수분해된 각 fraction에서의 탈아세틸화도는 50% 이하로 확인되었다. GPC를 이용하여 이들 각 유도체의 수평균분자량을 확인한 결과, 물-메탄올에 의한 침전물은 6000에서 4000의 분자량을 가지고 있었으며, 메탄올-아세톤에 의해서는 2000 이하의 분자량을 가지는 것을 얻을 수 있었다. 이때 다분산도는 1.7 이하로 분자량 분포가 좁은 분해물을 얻을 수 있었다. 각 fraction 별로 분자량에 따른 항균효과를 E. coli HB 101과 Bacillus subtilis PP 2에 대해서 시험한 결과 분자량이 5100인 fraction B($H_2O:MeOH=1:5$)가 가장 우수하였고, 모든 시료에서 그람양성균인 Bacillus subtilis PP 2에 대한 항균능이 그람음성균인 E. coli HB 101에 비해 우수하였다.

Cercidiphyllum japonicum leaves were collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethylacetate (EtOAc), and $H_2O$. A portion of EtOAc fraction (10 g) was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column, by the successively elution with various aqueous $MeOH-H_2O$ (1:9, fraction $1-2{\rightarrow}3:7$, fraction $3-5{\rightarrow}1:1$, fraction $6-9{\rightarrow}7:3$, fraction $10-13{\rightarrow}9:1$, fraction 14-16). Compound 2 was isolated from fraction 6 and compound 1 was separated from fraction 11 and 12. Compound 3 and 4 were purified from fraction 13. The isolated compounds were elucidated as quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (1), chlorogenic acid (2), quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranoside (3) and quercetin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranoside (4) by the spectral and literature data, and by comparison with the authentic samples. These compounds were reported, for the first time, from the extracts of C. japonicum leaves. Also chlorogenic acid (2) has never been reported before in domestic tree species and can be used as an index compound for C. japonicum.

Aqueous extract of Enicostemma littorale is reported to have antidiabetic activity. In the present investigation, we studied the effect of aqueous extract of E. littorale and its different fractions i.e., toluene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol fractions and remaining residual fraction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced neonatal type 2 diabetic rats. Fasting glucose and insulin levels in NIDDM were significantly (P<0.05) higher than control rats and they were significantly decreased by treatment with aqueous extract of E. littorale and its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions. Results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed that aqueous extract and its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions significantly (P<0.05) decrease both $AUC_{glucose}$ and $AUC_{insulin}$ values in NIDDM treated groups. Insulin sensitivity $(K_{ITT})$ index of NIDDM control was significantly lower as compared to normal control and this was significantly (P<0.05) increased after treatment with aqueous extract, its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions. Treatment with aqueous extract of E. littorale and its n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions lowered the elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels observed in NIDDM rats. Treatment with aqueous extract of E. littorale and its n-butanol fraction showed significant decrease in creatinine, urea, SGPT and SGOT levels as compared to NIDDM control rats. However ethyl acetate fraction showed significant changes only in creatinine and SGOT levels, and not in the levels of urea, and SGPT as compared to NIDDM control rats. Treatment with toluene, chloroform and residual fractions of E. littorale did not produce any effect on glucose, insulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, creatinine, urea, SGPT or SGOT levels as compared to NIDDM control rats. Our data suggest that n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions contain the active compounds which may be responsible for the above activity and associated complications in NIDDM diabetes mellitus.

In this study, analysis of active compounds that are believed to be highly relevant to antioxidant activity was carried out on the methanol extract and its solvent fractions of Corni fructus. The DPPH radical scavenging activity for the comparison of antioxidant activity was higher in order of aqueous fraction > methanol extract > ethyl acetate fraction > n-hexane fraction. It is similar to the order of total polyphenol contents in the samples. As a result of LC-MS analysis, phenolic acid compounds such as caffeic acid, gallic acid and chlorogenic acid and lognin, which is known as a representative active ingredient of Corni fructus, were identified as active compounds. And the antioxidative activity and the total polyphenol content of the extracts and solvent fractions were found to be related to the contents of the compounds. Particularly, it was confirmed that phenolic acid such as caffeic acid contributes to the antioxidative activity of the aqueous fraction of Corni fructus methanol extract.

Very little research has been carried out on safflower seed for the prevention and treatment of the bone deficiency diseases, including osteoporosis, which are supported by scientific evidences. In the present study, $3{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried crude extract or $2{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried aqueous fraction were shown to significantly accelerate the rate of differentiation of osteoblast. Also, the crude extract and aqueous fraction increased the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells: $3{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried crude extract and $2{\mu}l$ of 0.1% dried aqueous fraction significantly increased the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells ($8{\times}10^{-4}$) to the extent that it deserves a considerable attention. Furthermore, the crude extract and aqueous fraction increased the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells, and $300{\mu}M$ $Cd^{2+}$, specific calcium channel blocker, completely blocked the increase. Therefore, the increased $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of the cultured osteoblast cells by safflower seed component continued to activate calcium channel.
