Crude extracts of 69 marine organisms (27 salt marsh plants and 42 seaweeds) were screened for the inhibitory activity against the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1) in vitro. The most active extracts were methanol extracts from Derbesia marina (80.6% in inhibitory activity) and Symphycladia latiscula (85.6%) at the concentration of $15{\mu}g/mL$. Methanol extracts of Codium adhaerens and Hisikia fuziformis were moderately inhibitory with 71.2 and 69.1% inhibition, respectively. It was peculiar that only the extracts from seaweeds show inhibitory activity where those from salt marsh plants do not show any significant effect.

This study was carried out to investigate inhibitory effect of extracts from root cortex of Paeonia suffruticosa on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ (EC 3. 2. 1. 20) and postprandial hyperglycemia. Methanol extract and organic solvent (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) fractions from the crude drug were determined for the inhibitory activities against maltase, sucrase and ${\alpha}-amylase$. The methanol extract from the crude drug strongly inhibited maltase (72%) and sucrase (76%) at the concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/ml$. Among the fractions examined, the ethyl acetate fraction from the natural plant drug showed potent inhibitory effects on maltase (85%) and sucrase (81%) at the concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/ml$. The ethyl acetate fraction from root cortex of Paeonia suffruticosa also exhibited significant reductions (21%) of blood glucose elevation in mice loaded with maltose.

The cytotoxicity of crude insect drugs was measured using HeLa cells originating from human cervix and uterine cancer. using the dye uptake assay in order to find potential anticancer agents. Three kinds of extracts (buffer, methanol and ethylacetate) were prepared from 26 insects and used as raw materials for the activity assay. Among these, the buffer extracts from Tabanus, Mylabris and Huechys showed a potent anticancer activity, and those from Catharsius, Red ant, Scorpion, Tabanus and Vespae Nidus showed a strong L-amino acid oxidase (AAO) activity as well as cytotoxicity. In contrast, buffer extracts from Gryllotalpa orientalis and Apriona germari larvae showed greater/more rapid Hela cell growth than that of other insects.

This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity and toxicity of methanol and hexane extracts of Halymenia durvillei red seaweed which were found abundantly in Kayangan island, South Sulawesi. The antibacterial activity of the crude extract was tested against five gram-negative bacteria, namely Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio harveyi at a dose of 200 g/disk. Extract toxicity was tested on Artemia salina larvae at concentrations of 1,000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, and 31.25 ㎍/mL. The results showed that the methanol and hexane extracts of H. durvillei had the highest activity against S. thypi and A. hydrophila, respectively, with inhibition zones of 26.2 mm and 21.0 mm. On the other hand, the two extracts did not show activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa, respectively. The toxicity of the methanol extract of H. durvillei was twice as high as that of the hexane extract with half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 98.24 and 184.21 ㎍/mL, respectively. Thus, the methanol and hexane extracts of red seaweed H. durvillei have the potential as new antibacterial agents respectively against the pathogenic bacteria S. typhi and A. hydrophila, but also have the opportunity to be developed into antitumor herbal compounds.

In this study, the extraction characteristics of soluble solid from Rumex crispus(Curled dock) was studied from the investigation of the effects of experimental conditions on extraction rate; extraction ratio, composition of extractants, extraction time and pH of extractant, etc. The proximate composition of Rumex crispus was 2.58% crude lipid, 5.59% crude protein, 7.39% crude ash, 6.13% moisture and 78.31% carbohydrate, respectively. Turbidity of extract by distilled water was higher and increased with extraction time and extraction temperature, where as the turbidity didn't increase by ethanol and methanol in 20 folds of extraction ratio. Turbidity was inversely proportional to the extraction ratio for the three extractants at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 1 hour extraction. But turbidity of extract was highest by composition of 50% methanol-water extractant than any other compositions of extractants. Eighteen and fifteen free aminoacids were detected in extracts with distilled water, methanol and ethanol extractant, respectively, and it's contents were order of glutamic acid>proline>aminobutyric acid>alanine. The extraction rate of soluble solid from Rumex crispus was order of distilled water>methanol>ethanol within experimental extraction ratio. In extraction with distilled water, the contents of soluble solid was inversely proportional to the pH of extractant.

밤꽃의 항산화효과를 측정하기 위해 밤꽃의 수꽃을 수집하여 메탄올로 추출한 후 추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 밤꽃 조추출물의 추출수율은 6.26% 였으며, 총 페놀함량은 0.199 mg/mL 인 것으로 나타났다. DPPH법으로 free radical 소거능을 측정한 결과 밤꽃 추출물이 17.22%로 기존의 항산화제에 비해서는 소거능이 다소 낮은 것으로 측정되었다. SOD 유사활성 측정은 밤꽃 추출물이 65.10%로 BHT(95.70%)와 quercetin(93.29%)에 비해 낮았지만, ascorbic acid(30.30%) 보다는 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Lecithin 산화저해율은 밤꽃 추출물이 51.45%, BHT(67.08%), quercetin(63.46%), ascorbic acid(23.60%), chlorogenic acid(48.76%), tannic acid(50.10%)로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과 밤꽃 추출물이 DPPH free radical 소거능에서 기존 항산화제에 비해 낮은 활성을 나타냈지만, 시간경과에 따른 활성의 지속성과 50% 이상의 지질과산화 억제효과가 있어 천연항산화제로서의 가능성이 충분히 있는 것으로 추정된다.

Aralia elata seeds were successively extracted with water, methanol, ethanol, acetone and chloroform. The crude extracts were investigated for antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. The antioxidant properties of various extracts were evaluated by antioxidant tests, such as DPPH free radical-scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay, metal-chelating activity, lipid peroxidation inhibition activity and reducing power assay. The 70% methanol extract exhibited the highest activity in the in vitro models of DPPH free radical-scavenging activity, metal-chelating activity, and reducing power assay. Acetone extract showed good effects on lipid peroxidation inhibition and hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay at a low concentration. In addition, the $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition assay showed that 70% methanol extract had the highest activity. These results indicate the high possibility of using A. elata seeds for medical application due to their efficient antioxidant properties.
