Helicobacter pylori (H. pylorl) infection is now established as the major pathogenic factor in chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. in addition, there is accumulating evidence that H. pylori plays an important role in the process of gastric carcinogenesis. On the other hand, oriental traditional medicines have been used for stomach disease for thousands of years. In the present study, methanol extract from the stem bark of Magnolia sieboldii (M. sieboldii) and its components were investigated on their inhibitory effects against urease activity and growth of H. pylori in vitro. The methanol extract of M. sieboldii significantly inhibited the growth of H. pylori ATCC 43504 at 5 mg/ml. From the further fractionation, the chloroform fraction inhibited the bacterial growth dose-dependently. Among four fractions separated from the chloroform fraction by silica gel column chromatography, MS-C-2 was the most potent. Costunolide was isolated from the MS-C-2 subtraction by preparative TLC and recrystallization using n-hexane. Anti-H. pylori effect of costunolide was investigated using one commercial strain (H. pylori ATCC 43504) and three clinical strains (H. pylon 4, 43, 82548). Costunolide exhibited potent anti-H. pylori activity, and the MIC was around $100-200{\mu}g/ml$. However, costunolide had no inhibitory effect of H. pylori urease activity at the concentration used for the growth inhibition assay. From these results, we conclude that costunolide inhibits the, growth of H. pylori by the independent manner of H. pylori urease inhibition.

Yam, Prunella was stepwise extracted with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water. Anti-microbial activity of each extract was investigated. Hexane extract was tested for anti-microbial effect on Streptocaccus mutans, one of causative factor of dental caries. Methanol extracts of 7 plants were investigated to anti-microbial effects on S. mutans KCTC 5316, P. gingivalis KCTC 5352, S. aureus KCTC 1927 by means of agar diffusion method. Methanol extract of Yam and Prunella revealed anti-microbial activity against S. mutans, P. gingivalis, and S. aureus. Also, hexane fraction of Yam revealed anti-microbial activity against S. mutans. In sequence of hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol fraction by Prunelia acted as potent anti-microbial agent on P. gingivalis. The measured MIC of hexane fraction of Yam and Prunella on S. mutans KCTC 5316 strain was 0.25 mg/ml and 0.5 mg/ml and the MIC of hexane fraction of Prunella on S. aureus was 0.5 mg/ml. The hexane fraction of Yam and Prunella suppressed viable ceil counts(VCC) of S. mutans, especially after 24 hrs. The Prunella hexane fraction suppressed VCC of S. aureus, after 12 and 24 hrs. Tested concentrations were 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 mg/ml. the results were compared with control (0 mg/ml). The pH of S. mutans media and GTase activity were determined to evaluate the anticariogenic activity of Yam, Prunella hexane fraction. The pH were increased from 5.6 to 7.0-7.2 in concentration of 2.0 mg/ml. Yam hexane extraction revealed 35% inhibition to GTase activity and Punella inhibited 25% of GTase. These results suggest that the hexane extracts of Yam and prunella have Antibacterial activities against S. mutans, P. gingivalis, S. aureus and have preventive effect on dental caries.

Paeonia japonica var. pilosa $N_{AKAI}$, (PJ; Baek-Jak-Yak) is a medicinal plant which has been widely used as a component or blood-building decoctions. This study was performed to investigate the immunomodulative effects of PJ in mice, using in vitro and in vivo experiments. The immunomodulative effects were studied in vitro by determining the proliferation or mice splenocytes and the production of three kinds of cytokines (IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$) by mire peritoneal macrophages which were cultured with sequential fractions of PJ methanol extract (methanol, hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and water). In an in vivo experiment using mice, different concentrations of PJ water extract were orally administrated every other day for two weeks. The production of cytokines (IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$) secreted by activated macrophages, and the proliferation of mice splenocytes, were used as indices for immunocompetence. In vitro supplementation using a hexane fraction of PJ in the range of 1 to 100 $\mu$ g/ml enhanced splenocyte proliferation by 1.8 to 12%, and by 10-15% using an aqueous fraction, compared to the control. IL-l$\beta$ production was significantly increased with the supplementation of butanol, hexane and water extracts of PJ Higher levels of IL-6 production were detected with supplementation of chloroform or water extracts. However, there were no significant differences in the production of TNF-$\alpha$ among the treated groups and the control. From the in vivo study, the highest proliferation of splenocytes was seen in the mice orally administrated with the PJ water extract at the concentration of 500 mg/kg body weight. In the case of cytosine production, IL-1-$\beta$, IL-6, and TNF-$\alpha$ released by activated peritoneal macrophages were augmented by the oral administration of a PJ water extract. These results indicate that Pl may enhance the immune function by regulating splenocyte proliferation and cytokine production capacity in mice.

천연 보존료의 개발을 위한 식품학적 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 인진호 추출물을 이용하여 9종의 병원균과 식중독균에 대한 항균력을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhimurium, Vibrio prahemolyticus에 대해 각 용매 추출물에서 고루 항균성을 나타내었고, 물 추출물은 Vibrio prahaemolyticus에 대해서만 항균활성을 나타내었으며, 아세톤 추출물의 항균력이 가장 높았다. 인진호 아세톤 추출물의 최소저해농도(MIC)는 Staphylococcus aureus와 Bacillus subtilis에서 20 mg/mL, Vibrioparahaemolyticus에서 40 mg/mL 그리고 Salmonella typhimurium에서는 80 mg/mL로 나타났으며, 측정된 48시간 동안까지 최소저해농도 이상에서는 균이 거의 생육하지 못하였다. 인진호 아세톤 추출물의 순차 분획물의 항균활성은 에틸아세테이트와 부탄올 분획물이 Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhimurium, Bibrio prahemolyticus에서, 클로로포름 분획물은 Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Salmuneila typhimurium에서 항균활성을 나타내었으며, 헥산 분획물은 Bacillus subtilis에서만 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이같은 사실은 인진호 추출물의 항균성 물질은 특정 용매에만 용해되지 않고 다른 용매에도 용해되는 성분으로 단일 물질보다는 여러 성분일 것으로 생각된다 이상의 결과에서 천연물에 따라 항균력을 가지는 물질이 다양하여 추출용매의 선정이 항균성을 나타내는 성분을 찾아내는데 중요하다고 생각되며, 또한 인진호에서 추출된 항균성 물질이 Staphylococcus aureus나 Vibrio parahaemolyticus 등 식중독균의 생육억제에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

이 연구에서는 오이 methanol 추출물과 methanol 추출물의 분획물에 대한 항돌연변이 효과와 항미생물 효과를 조사하였다. Ames 실험계를 이용한 항돌연변이 효과는 Salmonella typhimurium TA100에서 간접 돌연변이원인 aflatoxin B$_1$에 대해 methanol 추출물은 1.25~5.0%에서 11~70%의 항돌연변이 활성을 나타냈었고, 직접 돌연변이원인 MNNG에 대해서는 46~85%의 항돌연변이 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 methanol 추출물을 분획하여 얻은 각 용매별 획분 중에서는 aflatoxin B$_1$에 대해서는 hexane 획분이, MNNG에 대해서는 butanol획분이 89% 및 95%로 가장 큰 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었다. 항미생물 효과의 조사에서는 오이 metanol 추출물이 실험균주 11종 중 8종의 세균에 대하여 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이 중 K. pneumonia KCTC 2208, P. aeruginosa KCTC 2004가 clear zone 13 mm로서 가장 항균 활성에 민감한 균종으로 나타났다. 각 용매별 획분 중에서는 hexane 획분은 V. parahaemolyticus KCTC 2471에 대하여 항균효과를 보였고, chloroform과 ethyl acetate 획분에서도 약하게 항균 효과를 보였다 Methanol추출물의 농도에 따른 균증식억제 효과의 결과로는 V. parahaemolyticus가 가장 낮은 최소증식억제농도를 보여 500 ppm으로 나타났다. Methanol 추출물의 살균효과는 P. aeruginosa에서 1%의 농도가 0.5%의 농도에 비하여 약 10배정도의 빠른 살균효과를 보였다. 즉 초기 균수의 90%균을 살균하는데 1%와 0.5%의 농도에서 각각 26분, 250분이 소요되는 것으로 예측되었다.

Background: Roots of Withania somnifera (WS) are a celebrated medicinal ingredient in Ayurvedic and many other indigenous systems of medicine. The present study investigates the effect of the phytochemical composition of the extracts on their antioxidant and reducing activities. Methods: WS roots were extracted with water, acetone, aqueous methanol (1:1), and methanol:-chloroform:water (1:1:1) to obtain aqueous, acetone, hydro-methanolic, and methanol-chloroform-water extracts. Thereafter, phytochemical constitution and antioxidant and reducing activities of the extracts were compared using different qualitative and quantitative tests. Results: Maximum extraction recovery was obtained with 50% aqueous methanol whereas extraction with acetone yielded the poorest recovery. Methanol-chloroform-water extract had the highest content of phytochemical constituents, except tannins, and also exhibited the highest antioxidant and reducing activities. Conclusion: Phytochemical composition and antioxidant and reducing activities of the extracts were positively associated with the use of organic solvents during the extraction process. Alkaloids and flavonoids were the most important contributors in the antioxidant and reducing activities of the extracts.

The solvent extracts of Ulmi cortex, which were extracted by using several solvents with different polarities, were prepared for utility as a natural preservatives. The antimicrobial activities and cell growth inhibitions were investigated to each strain with the different concentrations of Ulmi cortex extracts. Methanol extract showed the highest antimicrobial activity. The methanol extract was represented the broad antimicrobial activities for the gram positive and negative strains. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for each strains were appeared to around 0.3mg/ml at each of Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. The cell growth inhibitions were not shown on Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lac tobacillus plantarum, and Bifidobacterium bifidum, but greatly on the Clostridium butyricum. The meth anol extracts were further reextracted sequentially with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and butanol for purifying crude methanol extracts. The extract, which was reextracted by butanol, showed the highest antimicrobial activity.
