In the present study, three Malaysian Channa spp. fish Channa striatus, Channa micropeltes and Channa lucius were assessed for their analgesic activity. Distilled water and mixture of chloroform: methanol were used for extraction. The analgesic or antinociceptive activity was investigated by abdominal writhing and hot plate test. The water extract of Channa striatus and the chloroform: methanol extract Channa lucius produced potent antinociceptive effect when assessed with the abdominal writhing test. The activity was compared to morphine where the activity of the extracts was less potent than the opioid. In the hote plate test, water extract of Channa striatus revealed significant activity and chloroform:methanol extract of Channa micropeltes had moderate activity. However, these activities were statistically lower than morphine. Collectively, this study also showed that Channa striatus extract was more potent analgesic agent when compared to the other closely related snakehead Channa micropeltes and Channa lucius.

Caesalpinia sappan L. (Leguminosae) is an oriental medicinal herb distributed in China and Taiwan, and its heartwood has been traditionally used as an analgesic, a therapy for thrombosis or tumor. This study was to investigate the proliferation and inhibition effects of Caesalpinia sappan extracts against human epithelial cell and cancer cell lines. The methanol extract of dried C. sappan heartwood was evaporated (KS-6), and then sequentially extracted by hexane (KS-01), chloroform (KS-02), ethyl acetate (KS-03), n-butanol (KS-04), and water (KS-05). After 48 hr of exposure, these fractions at a concentration of $50{\mu}g/ml$ significantly increased, and reduced cell proliferation in both human normal epithelial and cancer cell lines. The ethyl acetate fraction (KS-03) among organic solvent fractions was 120.2% of the most proliferation activity ($50{\mu}g/ml$) against HaCaT human epithelial cell. However, fractions from chloroform, butanolic and methanolic extract had 7.2, 28.7 and 20.8% of antiproliferative effect on HaCaT cell, respectively. In cell proliferation effects of C. sappan extract on HeLa, SiHa and C33A human cervical cancer cells, chloroform fraction (KS-2) was the most antiproliferative activity, its antiproliferative rate (dosage, $50{\mu}g/ml$) relative to control was 25.8, 12.2 and 17.4% for SiHa, HeLa and C33A, respectively. The results indicated that the six extract fractions could induce cell cycle stimulate or arrest in some way. Finally, further investigation is needed to assess the molecular mechanisms mediated anticancer activities of this plant.

Propolis를 몇 가지 용매로 추출하여 분획물을 얻고 이를 palm oil과 lard에 단독으로 혹은 synergist와 함께 첨가하여 항산화 효과를 Rancimat을 이용하여 측정하였다. 용매별 추출,수율은 68.1%(75% ethanol), 75.5%(99% ethanol), 67.4%(methanol), 86.7%(chloroform), 72.6%(ethyl acetate), 65.6%(butanol)였다. Methanol 추출물이 항산화 효과가 가장 우수 하였고 palm oil 보다는 lard에서 더욱 효과적이었다. Ethanol(75%) 추출물을 chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol 및 water 순으로 분획 하였을 때 ethyl acetate 분획물은 조추출물보다 항산화 효과가 상승하였다. 또 ethyl acetate fraction 600 ppm에 synergist로 ascorbic acid(200ppm)을 palm oil에 첨가 했을 때와 ${\dalta}-toocopherol(200ppm)$을 lard에 첨가했을 때 높은 항산화 상승 효과를 보였다.

췌장에서 분비되는 cholesterol esterase(CEase)와 소장의 acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase(ACAT)는 흡수된 콜레스테롤을 다시 ester화하는데 관여한다. 한방재료 중 건위, 진토 및 수렴지사작용 등을 가지는 초두구(Alpiniae Katusumadaii Semen)의 에탄올 추출물이 in vitro에서 cholesterol esterase활성에 대하여 강한 저해작용을 보였으며 에탄올추출물의 용매분획 중 클로로포름분획이 다른 분획들, 즉 에틸 아세테이트분획, 부탄올분획 및 물 분획보다 강하였다. 초두구의 클로로포름분획이 고 콜레스테롤식이를 섭취시킨 rat에서 혈중 콜레스테롤치를 저하시키는 효과가 있는지 측정한 실험에서 chloroform분획을 100 mg/kg 및 150 mg/kg 섭취시켰을 경우 각각 총cholesterol 함량이 11.8% 및 20.8% 감소하였으며 HDL-cholesterol 함량 및 동맥경화지수는 정상군에 가깝게 회복된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 초두구 chloroform분획의 독성검사 결과 mouse에서 $LD_{50}$은 1,625mg/kg으로 산출되었다.

Methanol extract of dried persimmon leaves was refractionated using hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol aqueous fractions. Among these chloroform fraction showed the highest inhibition rate on the mutagenicities of aflatoxin B₁(AFB₁) and 3,2' -dimethyl-4-amino-bipheny1(DMAB) in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100. Chloroform fraction was further fractionated into eight fractions by silica gel column chromatography and thin layer chromatography(TLC). The fraction 5 on TLC exhibited the highest antimutagenic activities in AFB₁and DMAB. 2,4-Decadienal, dihydro-4-methyl-2(3H)-furanone, hexanoic acid 1,4-bis(1-methy1 ethy1)benzene, heptanoic acid, phenol, octanoic acid, nonanoic acid and benzoic acid were tentatively identified from this antimutagenic fraction by GC-MS.

A methanol extract of Cassia tora seeds was successively partitioned with diethyl ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and water, and the antitumor-promoting activity of the solvent fractions was determined by inhibition of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by teleocidin B-4 in Raji cells. The diethyl ether (68.7%) and chloroform (91.2%) fractions and the hydrolysate (94.3%) of the ethyl acetate fraction had strong inhibitory activities. The chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions were chromatographed on silica gel and further purified by HPLC. Three active compounds, obtusifolin-2-glucoside (75.0%), chryso-obtusin-6-glucoside (56.8%), and norrubrofusarin-6-glucoside (39.4%), were obtained from the ethyl acetate fraction, and two active compounds, questin (97.9%) and chryso-obtusin (53.8%), were isolated from the chloroform fraction.

순천대학교 지의류 은행(Lichen Bioresources Center)에서 571종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이를 분양받아 Candida albicans에 대한 항진균 활성을 조사하여 4종을 선정하였다. 선정된 4종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이의 배양액 내에 존재하는 항진균 활성을 알아보기 위해 disc diffusion method 방법을 이용한 결과 Stereocaulon sp. (1429,1430)가 C. albicans에 대한 항진균 활성이 가장 좋았으며, 다음으로는 Graphis sp. (1245), Cryptosporiopsis diversispora (0156) 순으로 활성이 좋게 나타났으며, 이들 지의류 내생곰팡이가 고체배지와 액체배지에서도 항진균 활성 물질을 생성하였다. 고체배지에서와 액체배지에서 공통적으로 활성이 있는 지의류 내생 곰팡이 배양액의 chloroform, ethyl acetate 용매 추출물의 C. albicans의 항진균 활성도를 측정한 결과 4종 모두 chloroform 추출물에서 높은 활성도를 나타냈다. Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida lusitaniae에 대한 항진균 활성은 Stereocaulon sp. (1429, 1430)의 chloroform 추출물에서 모두 98% 이상의 높은 저해율을 보였고 Stereocaulon sp. (1429) 배양액의 chloroform 추출액과 ethyl acetate 추출액을 GC/MS를 이용해 성분을 분석한 결과 hexadecanonic acid-methyl ester, 14-octadecenoic acid-methyl ester, octadecenoic acid-methyl ester가 새로운 항진균 물질일 가능성을 보여주었다.

We previously showed that a methanol extract of Paeoniae radix decreased total cholesterol level in rats with hyperlipidemia. In order to isolate the active ingredient(s), the methanol extract of Paeoniae radix was fractionated with chloroform/methanol(4:1) solution and isolate into soluble part and insoluble part of the the methanol extract. Above two parts were tested on the experimentally induced hypercholesterolemia in rats for the lowering effect of serum lipoprotein contents. Hyperlipidemia was induced on male Wistar rats by feeding high choleserol diet for 7 days. After oral administration of above samples for 4 weeks, serum lipid profile was verified on these rats by measuring total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. The chloroform/methanol(4:1) soluble part and insolule part showed lowering activity of total cholesterol level and triglyceride level at 4 week point significantly(p<0.01 and p<0.05) compare with the control group and the soluble part was more effective.

This study was carried out to investigate the antibacterial activity against pathogens of acne and the anti-inflammatory effect of 75% ethanol extract and its fractions from the leaves of Prunus sargentii. In the antibacterial activity by the disc diffusion assay, the extract showed the highest effect against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in 5 mg/disc. However, the ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest antibacterial activity in 1 mg/disc. On the other hand, the hexane and chloroform fraction showed strong nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitory effect in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw 264.7 cell. In the cell viability of Raw 264.7 by MTT assay, the extract and all fractions were exhibited normal viabilities as nontoxic result. Consequently, the extract from the leaves of P. sargentii and its ethyl acetate fraction could be applicable to functional materials for antibacterial activity related fields. Moreover, the hexane and chloroform fraction could be applicable to candidate materials as anti-inflammatory agent.
