본 연구는 생리활성이 높은 식물오일의(라벤더, 레몬유칼립투스 및 계피 오일) 친환경 살충소재의 활용가능성을 탐색하고자 급성독성(급성경구독성, 급성경피독성, 피부자극성 및 안점막자극성)시험을 수행하였다. 랫드를 이용한 급성경구독성시험결과 라벤더, 레몬 유칼립투스 및 계피 오일의 $LD_{50}$은 2,000 mg/kg bw 이상이었고, 급성경피독성시험결과 모든 시험물질의 $LD_{50}$이 4,000 mg/kg bw으로 나타났다. 피부자극성시험결과 라벤더와 레몬 유칼립투스 오일은 자극성이 없었고, 계피 오일은 중도의 자극성을 나타냈다. 안점막자극성시험결과 라벤더, 레몬 유칼립투스 오일은 자극성이 없었고, 계피오일은 중도의 자극성을 나타냈으나 세척시험 결과 자극성은 없었다. 따라서, 라벤더 및 레몬 유칼립투스 오일은 독성이 낮았으나, 계피 오일은 중도의 피부자극성 및 안점막자극성을 갖는 것으로 평가되었다.

Anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic and analgesic activity of each herbal extract, which is extracted from Bacopa monnieriis, Cassia fistula and Phyllanthus polyphyllus, respectively. The treatment of herbal extract exhibited anti-inflammatory effect as a dose-dependent manner, from 1.25 mg/kg to 12.5 mg/kg, in acute inflammatory models (carrageen and egg-albumin induced rat hind paw edema). It also elicited significant anti-inflammatory activity in chronic inflammatory models (cotton pellet granuloma and Freund's adjuvant induced polyarthritis in rat). In cotton pellet granuloma test, the extract exhibited the inhibitory effect of 23 and 57% at the dose of 6.25 and 12.5 mg/kg, respectively. In Freund's adjuvant induced model, the treatment of the extract of 1.25, 6.25 and 12.5 mg/kg showed the inhibitory effect of 23, 56 and 66% at 8 days, respectively. In the acetic acid-induced model, the extract significantly reduced abdominal writhing in mice when compared to the control group, reducing the mean number of writhing from $41{\pm}2$ in the control group to $17{\pm}3$ and $15{\pm}2$ at the dose of 6.25 and 12.5 mg/kg. From these experiments, the extract, which was extracted from the combination of Bacopa monnieriis, Cassia fistula and Phyllanthus polyphyllus, (w/w/w = 1/2/1) is surprisingly found a significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity.

The cytotoxic activities of Cinnamomum cassia (Blume) bark-derived materials toward six human HeLa epithelioid cervix, A549 lung, SK-OV-3 ovarian, SK-MEL-2 melanoma, XF-498 central nerve system, and HCT-15 colon tumor cell lines were evaluated by using sulforhodamine B assay and compared to those of the anticancer agents, cisplatin and mitomycin C. The biologically active constituent of the Cinnamomum bark was characterized as trans­cinnamaldehyde by spectroscopic analysis. The cytotoxic activity of cinnamaldehyde against HeLa, SK-MEL-2, and HCT -15 cell lines was comparable to that of cisplatin and mitomycin C. The compound showed lower activity against A549, SK-OV-3, and XF-498 cell lines than the anticancer agents. Eugenol exhibited moderate activity against SK-OV­3, XF-498, and HCT-15 tumor cells, and trans-cinnamic acid, cinnamyl alcohol, $\alpha-pinene,\;and\;\beta-pinene$ showed little or no activity against model tumor cells. Cinnamaldehyde was not mutagenic against four strains (TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, and TA 1537) of Salmonella typhimurium (Castel and Chalm). These results indicate at least one pharmacological action of C. cassia.

Ethanol and aqueous extracts of Cassia auriculata were tested in vitro against fungi (Candida albicans and Microsporum canis) and bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteriditis, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis). M. canis showed dose-dependent susceptibility only towards ethanol leaf and bark extracts. C. albicans, were resistant to all types of plant extracts. Results were statistically smaller to antifungal drug ketoconazole and miconazole at equivalent concentration. Both ethanol and aqueous extracts of Cassia auriculata leaves and barks exhibit antibacterial activity against S. aureus and only the ethanol extracts of leaf and bark were detected against Bacillus subtilis. The results were compared to antibacterial drugs chloramphenicol, ampicillin, penicillin G, and enrofloxacin. The antibacterial activity was statistically similar to penicillin G. Based on the current findings, it can be concluded that this plant has antimicrobial activity, which is as potent as standard antimicrobial drugs.

Soil amendments with oriental herbal medicines such as fruit of Anethum graveolens, flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum, rhizome of Cnidium officinale, rhizome of Coptis chinensis, root bark of Paeonia suffructicosa, stem bark of phellodendron amurense, and stem bark of Cinnamomum cassia at the rate of 0.2％ (weight by volume of soil) significantly reduced Meloidogyne incognita infection (root gall formation) of tomato seedlings compared with the control. The most effective treatments were root bark of p. suffructicosa and stem bark of C. cassia as they gave minimum numbers of galls on tomato roots (4.7% and 8.9%, respectively, relative to control) as compared to other treatments. Another study with root bark of p. suffructicosa and C. cassia at different application doses also showed consistent results in reducing gall number. The control efficacy decreased as the application doses were lower-ed, indicating their dose-dependent control activities. These treatments significantly enhanced aboveground plant growths (total masses).

The dyeing powder drawn out from Cinnamoum cassia by water was concentrated. Using this powder, the silk fabrics were dyed and they measured with the K/S value, surface color, dye fastness and antimicrobial properties. The colorant of Cinnamoum cassia was proved flavonoids by FT-IR spectrum. The K/S values of silk by mordants concentration were much higher than those of high-concentration, the color yield of the silk fabrics were most efficient the premordanting method. The surface colors on the dyed fabric depended heavily upon mordants used or mordanting methods. For all cases, the value of the dyed fabric was generally dark except AI-mordant. The chroma produced clear for the unmordanting, the color difference was distinct when using the Fe-mordant. The color fastness was significantly improved when mordants were added. In the case of the light fastness, Cu-mordants improved more than 1-2 level. The Cu-mordant showed the greatest antimicrobial activity on the silk fabric.

The anticoagulant properties of Cinnamomum cassia bark-derived materials were evaluated against platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (AA), collagen, platelet activating factor (PAF), or thrombin, and these effects were then compared to those of three commercially available compounds (cinnamic acid, cinnamyl alcohol, and aspirin). The active constituent obtained from C. cassia barks was isolated by silica gel column chromatography and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), and was characterized as trans-cinnamaldehyde by MS, $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, and IR spectroscopy. With regard to 50% inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) values, cinnamaldehyde was found to effectively inhibit platelet aggregation induced by AA ($IC_{50},\;43.2\;{\mu}M$) and collagen ($IC_{50},\;3.1\;{\mu}M$). By way of comparison, cinnamaldehyde proved to be a significantly more potent platelet inhibitor against platelet aggregation induced by collagen than aspirin. The effect exerted by cinnamaldehyde against platelet aggregation induced by AA was 1.2 times less than that of aspirin. These results indicate that cinnamaldehyde may prove useful as a lead compound for the inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by AA and collagen.
