본 연구에서는 지금까지 거의 보고된 바 없는 corosolic acid의 항균활성에 대해 대표적 식중독균 중 하나인 S. aureus를 대상으로 연구하였다. 대수기의 S. aureus에 corosolic acid를 처리하여 생장 저해 여부를 확인하였고, broth micro-dilution 방법과 agar disc diffusion 방법을 통해 corosolic acid의 S. aureus에 대한 항균활성을 측정해본 결과, corosolic acid의 농도에 비례하여 S. aureus 생장이 저해되는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 corosolic acid의 존재 조건에서 S. aureus의 바이오필름 형성능이 MIC 보다 높은 농도뿐 아니라 낮은 농도에서 역시 저해되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 천연물질인 corosolic acid는 S. aureus에 의한 식품 오염을 억제하고 식중독 예방 및 잠재적 치료제로서 개발 될 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 나아가 다른 종류의 식중독균들에 대한 적용 가능 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Four ursane type triterpenes have been isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. (Rosaceae) through repeated silica gel and reverse-phase C-18 column chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated as ursolic acid (1), pomolic acid (2), tormentic acid (3), and corosolic acid (4) on the basis of their MS, $^1H-$, and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectral data. Compounds 2 and 4 were isolated from the genes of Agrimonia for the first time.

The ether soluble fraction of the methanol extract from the fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida var. psilosa was applied to silica gel column chromatography, eluted step-gradiently with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol, repeatedly, and five compounds were isolated. These compounds are identified as ursolic acid(I), corosolic acid(II) and euscapic acid (III), ${\beta}-sitosteryl-3-O-{\beta}-_D-glucopyranoside(IV)$ and hyperin(V).

The EtOAc extract of Youngia koidzumiana significantly inhibited the diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) from rat liver microsomes. Bioactivity-guided fractionation led to the isolation of nine compounds, the structures of which were established using physicochemical and spectral data. Of the isolated compounds, oleanolic acid (2), methyl ursolate (7) and corosolic aicd (8) inhibited DGAT, with $IC_{50}$ values of 31.7, 26.4, and $44.3{\mu}M$, respectively. However, sesquit-erpenoids showed only weak inhibitory effects toward DGAT.

본 연구는 인간 유래 유방 암세포 MDA-MB-231를 대상으로 CA에 의한 세포사멸, 세포 이동 및 침윤 효과를 조사하였다. 암세포의 증식 억제 효과는 CA 농도 의존적으로 증식률이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. CA에 의한 apoptosis 양성 세포를 확인하기 위해 DAPI stain를 진행한 결과, CA 농도 의존적으로 죽은 세포를 확인하였다. MDA-MB-231 세포에서 CA에 의한apoptosis marker 단백질 발현 증가와 ROS production증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 CA에 의한 MDA-MB-231의 세포 이동률이 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 세포의 이동과 전이 능력 또한 CA를 처리한 군에서 통계적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해서 CA의 암세포 증식률 억제, 세포사멸 증가, 그리고 세포 이동 및 전이 억제 효과가 나타나는 것을 확인했으며, 이 결과를 통해서 향후 유방암에 대한 항암제로 개발될 수 있는 가능성을 가지고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Corosolic acid (CA), a triterpenoid compound isolated from Lagerstroemia speciosa L. (Banaba) leaves, exerts anti-inflammatory effects by regulating phosphorylation of interleukin receptor- associated kinase (IRAK)-2 via the NF-κB cascade. However, the protective effect of CA against endotoxic shock has not been reported. LPS (200 ng/mL, 30 min) induced phosphorylation of IRAK-1 and treatment with CA (10 μM) significantly attenuated this effect. In addition, CA also reduced protein levels of NLRP3 and ASC which are the main components of the inflammasome in BMDMs. LPS-induced inflammasome assembly through activation of IRAK-1 was down-regulated by CA challenge. Treatment with Bay11-7082, an inhibitor of IκB-α, had no effect on CA-mediated inhibition of IRAK-1 activation, indicating that CA-mediated attenuation of IRAK-1 phosphorylation was independent of NF-κB signaling. These results demonstrate that CA ameliorates acute inflammation in mouse BMDMs and CA may be useful as a pharmacological agent to prevent acute inflammation.

To examine the possibility of using Musa sapientum L. (Banana) leaf extract as a cosmetic raw material, banana leaves grown in Jeju Island were extracted with 70% ethanol. Polysaccharides present in banana leaf extract were discarded by precipitation with cold ethanol. Polysaccharide-discarded banana leaf extract promoted procollagen and COL1A1 gene expression, but inhibited matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-2 gene expression in human skin fibroblasts when examined by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The active compound in banana leaves was identified by fractionation with various solvents. The chloroform fraction showed the highest anti-wrinkle efficacy and the active compound of chloroform fraction was identified as corosolic acid by NMR, FT-IR, EA, and HPLC-MS. In addition, banana leaf extract showed anti-oxidative efficacy with an IC50 value of 67.91 ppm, as determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Finally, the anti-wrinkle efficacy of banana leaf extract-containing cream was confirmed by clinical tests. Based on these results, banana leaves could have an application as a cosmetic raw material with anti-wrinkle efficacy.

The fruits of Cornus kousa Burg. were extracted with 80% aqueous methanol (MeOH) and the concentrated extract was partitioned with ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and $H_2O$. From the EtOAc traction, 5 triterpenoids were isolated through repeated silica gel ($SiO_2$), octadecyl silica gel (ODS), and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography (c.c.). These compounds were determined to be ursolic acid (1), corosolic acid (2), taraxasterol (3), betulinic acid (4), and betulinic aldehyde (5) on the basis of their spectroscopic data including electronic ionization mass spectrometry, ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance. This is the first reported isolation of these compounds from this plant. Also, compounds 1, 3, 4, and 5 show a relatively high inhibitory activity against human acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (hACAT-1) with inhibition values of $52.8{\pm}0.7$, $91.1{\pm}0.4$, $93.0{\pm}0.7$, and $96.2{\pm}0.2%$ at a concentration of $100{\mu}M$, respectively.
