DA-9601 is an extract obtained from Artemisia asiatica, which has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects on gastrointestinal lesions; however, its possible anti-inflammatory effects on the small intestine have not been studied yet. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the protective effects of DA-9601 against the ACF-induced small intestinal inflammation. Inflammation of the small intestine was confirmed by histological studies and the changes in the CD4⁺ T cell fraction induced by the inflammation-related cytokines, and the inflammatory reactions were analyzed. Multifocal discrete small necrotic ulcers with intervening normal mucosa were frequently observed after treatment with ACF. The expression of IL-6, IL-17, and TNF-α genes was increased in the ACF group; however, it was found to have been significantly decreased in the DA-9601 treated group. In addition, DA-9601 significantly decreased the levels of proinflammatory mediators such as IL-1β, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, and TNF-α; the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, on the other hand, was observed to have increased. It is known that inflammatory mediators related to T cell imbalance and dysfunction continuously activate the inflammatory response, causing chronic tissue damage. The fractions of IFN-γ⁺ Th1 cells, IL-4⁺ Th2 cells, IL-9⁺ Th9 cells, IL-17⁺ Th17 cells, and Foxp3⁺ Treg cells were significantly decreased upon DA-9601 treatment. These data suggest that the inflammatory response induced by ACF is reduced by DA-9601 via lowering of the expression of genes encoding the inflammatory cytokines and the concentration of inflammatory mediators. Furthermore, DA-9601 inhibited the acute inflammatory response mediated by T cells, resulting in an improvement in ACF-induced enteritis.

This study was undertaken to test for anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity of the aqueous extracts prepared from 9 medicinal plants of Korea (Cornus officinalis, Caesalpinia sappan, Rubus coreanus, Lycium chinense, Artemisia capillaris, Isatis tinctoria, Phyllanthus urinaria, Lysimachia christinae, Lonicera japonica). Aqueous extracts were tested for cytotoxicity and assayed for inhibition of HBV replication by measurement of HBV DNA and surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in the extracellular medium f HepG2 2.2.15 cells. The extract from Rubus coreanus, Artemisia capillaris, Phyllanthus urinaria decreased the levels of extracellular HBV virion DNA at concentrations ranging from 128 to $256\;{\mu}g/ml$ and inhibited the production fo HBsAg dose-dependently without showing cytotoxicity. Our findings suggest that these three hebal medicinal plants may have potential to develop as specific anti-HBV drugs in the future.

The antimicrobial activity of mugwort(artemisia asiatica Nakai) was investigated. The methanol extract or dried mugwort was fractionated to hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol, and aqueous fractions. The hexane fraction among these fractions showed the hifhest inhibitory effect on the growth of microorganisms such as Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Lactobacillus plantarum. Bacillus subtilis, Escherchia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus were completely inhibited at a concentration of 250, 500 , and 750$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml respectively. The hexane fraction was further fractionated into 16 subfractions by silica gel column and thin layer chromatography(TLC). The subfraction No. 8, 9, and 10 on TLC exhibited high antimicrnial activity. At 3rd fractionation, subfraction No. 2 inhibited the growth of microorganisms at 500$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. Heptadecane, dodecamethyi cyclohexasiloxane, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, dodecamethul pentasiloxane, coumarin, 5,6,6,6a-tetrahydro-4,4,7a-trimethyl-2(4H)-benzofuranone, neophytadiene, tridecanoic acid, methyl ester, 2-methyl-4,5-nonadiene, (Z,Z)-9-12-octadecadienoyl chloride, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) were identified from this antimicrobial fraction by GC-MS.

한국산 생약재인 가시오갈피 , 마황, 복분자, 인진쑥을 이용하여 추출과정 중 $40^{\circ}C,\;60^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C$로 온도를 달리 하여 기존의 열수 추출방법과 초음파를 범행한 추출로 인해 면역 활성 증진이 다르게 나타나는 효과를 비교 실험하였다. 실험 결과 여러 조건 중 복분자 $60^{\circ}C$, 40 kHz의 초음파 병행 추출물이 가장 좋은 항암활성 증진 효과를 나타내었다. 추출시 모든 열수 추출물들에 비해 초음파 병행 추출물의 추출 수율이 높게 나타났다. 이는 추출시 열수 추출에서 미쳐 빠져나오지 않았던 여러 활성 물질이 초음파 처리에 의해 공동화현상과 더불어 액체간의 상호 탈기 작용에 의해 추출 수율의 상승효과를 가져온 것으로 사료된다. Apoptosis 실험에서는 5일 동안 인간 폐암 세포인 A549의 세포를 이용하여 활성이 좋았던 마황과 복분자의 $60^{\circ}C$ 열수 추출물과 초음파 추출을 병행한 추출물을 이용하여 관찰한 결과 apoptotic이 열수 추출물보다는 초음파 병행 추출물을 투여한 군에서 더 많이 관찰되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이와 마찬가지로 HL-60 세포분화능 실험에서도 열수 추출물보다는 초음파를 병행한 추출물들이 높은 세포 분화 활성도를 나타냈다. 또한 모든 조건 중에서 생약재들이 $60^{\circ}C$, 40 kHz 초음파 병행 추출물에서 가장 높은 세포 분화 활성도를 나타냈다. 이러한 결과로 보아, 앞으로 한국산 생약재의 고부가가치 창출을 위해 더 많은 실험을 통하여 초음파의 병행 처리에 따른 효과와 이를 통한 기능성 소재 및 기능성 식품으로의 이용을 위해 더 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각되어진다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the shoot height at which the yield and nutritive value of wormwood (Artemisia montana) is optimized in order to provide information on its potential to support animal production (Experiment 1). A second objective was to determine how the essential oil (EO) concentration in wormwood hay and silage differ (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, Artemisia montana was harvested at five different shoot heights (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm) from triplicate $1.8{\times}1.8m$ plots. Dry matter (DM) yield was measured at each harvest date and the harvested wormwood was botanically separated into leaf, stalk and whole plant fractions and analyzed for chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility (DMD). Values for total digestible nutrients (TDN), digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) were subsequently calculated using prediction equations. Dry matter yields of stalk and whole plant increased linearly (p<0.001) and leaf yield increased quadratically (p<0.01) with shoot height, whereas the leaf/stalk ratio decreased linearly (p<0.001). As shoot height increased, there was a linear increase (p<0.001) in leaf DM, ether extract (EE) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents and a quadratic increase (p<0.05) in leaf acid detergent fiber (ADF) and nitrogen free extract (NFE) contents, and stalk and whole plant DM (p<0.001), organic matter (OM, p<0.01 and p<0.05), NDF (p<0.001 and 0.05) and NFE (p<0.05) contents. However, there were decreases in leaf crude protein content (CP, quadratic, p<0.001) and stalk and whole plant EE content (linear, p<0.001), CP (quadratic, p<0.05) and ash (quadratic, p<0.05) contents. Digestibility of DM and TDN, and DE and ME value in leaves were not affected by increasing shoot height, but these measures linearly decreased (p<0.001) in stalk and whole plant. In Experiment 2, the hay had higher DM and CP concentrations, but lower EE concentration than the silage. Essential oil (EO) content in wormwood silage (0.49 g/100 g DM) was higher (p<0.05) than that in wormwood hay (0.32 g/100 g DM). Wormwood hay contained 25 essentail oils (EO) including camphor (10.4 g/100 g), 1-borneol (11.6 g/100 g) and caryophyllene oxide (27.7 g/100 g), and wormwood silage had 26 EO constituents including 3-cyclohexen-1-ol (8.1 g/100 g), trans-caryophyllene (8.6 g/100 g) and ${\gamma}$-selinene (16.8 g/100 g). It is concluded that the most ideal shoot height for harvesting wormwood is 60 cm based on the optimization of DM yield and nutritive value. Wormwood silage had a greater quantity and array of EO than wormwood hay.

인진추출물의 LPS에 의한 흰쥐 간의 염증반응에 미치는 영향을 혈청학적, 조직병리학적, 면역조직화학적으로 분석하였다. 혈청 GOT, GTP, LDH 는 LPS에 의해 증가하며 이는 인진추출물의 전처리에 의해 저해되며 특히 150 mg/kg 투여군의 GOT와 50 mg/kg 투여군의 LDH가 대조군에 비해 유의성을 보였다. 조직병리학적으로 보아 인진추출물의 전처리는 LPS에 의해 나타나는 혼탁종창, 수포성변성, 염증성 세포침윤, Kupper세포반응 등을 저해하였다. 염증관련 인자에 대한 면역조직화학적 분석으로 보아 인진추출물의 전처리는 LPS주사군의 NF-kBp65, TNF-$\alpha$, COX-2 면역반응보다 약한 반응을, I-kB$\alpha$는 LPS주사군보다 강한 세포질내 면역반응을 보였다. 이로 보아 인진추출물은 LPS에 의한 간손상에 대해 유효한 기능을 가지며 이에 NF-kB를 비롯한 염증관련 단백질의 발현이 작용함을 알 수 있다.
