In order to extract the curcuminoid such as curcumin, demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) in turmeric (Curcuma longa), solvent extraction methods (dipping and ultrasonic extraction method) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) were used. RP-HPLC (reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography) and TLC (thin-layer chromatography) were used for identification and analysis the three curcuminoid. From the experimental results, it is evident that the percentage of curcuminoid extracted from turmeric by ultrasonic extraction method was higher than dipping method. The percentage of curcumin extracted from turmeric by pure methanol was higher than any aqueous methanolic composition. Moreover, the total peak area of three curcuminoid was above 92% in RP-HPLC using solid-phase extraction. These results will form a database for investigating the constituents of natural products and the resources of pharmaceutical, nutrition, and cosmetic products.

Background: This study was conducted to investigate the growth characteristics, root yield and curcuminoid content of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), cultivated using mother seed rhizomes (MR) and finger seed rhizome (FR) of different sizes. MR are attached to the stem, and FR are connected to the MR, and are used as a general seed rhizome. Methods and Results: Seed rhizomes of different types and sizes were used: large, medium and small for FR, and large, half-sized, and small for MR. These were assigned to the experimental groups and cultivated under greenhouse conditions. The growth characteristics, root yield, and curcuminoid content did not show clear difference between MR and FR, but suggest that the larger seed rhizomes (above 30 g) could have higher root yields. On average, harvested mother rhizomes (HMR) contained more curcuminoid than harvested finger rhizomes (HFR), while the yield of HFR was higher than that of HMR. The higher weight of harvested roots correlated significantly with elevated curcuminoid content. Conclusions: The two seed rhizomes, MR and FR, did not differ in root yield and curcuminoid contents, but larger seed rhizomes may produce better root yields. This suggest that the optimum seed rhizome is larger FR, to produce higher yields and quality in turmeric root production.

생리활성 물질로 알려진 curcuminoid의 다양한 가공조건에서의 화학안정성 및 항산화능의 변화를 조사하였다. Curcuminoid의 화학안정성은 pH와 온도에 의해 크게 영향 받았으며, 온도 및 pH의 증가는 curcuminoid의 황색도 및 화학안정성을 감소시켰다. 특히 일반적인 멸균조건($121^{\circ}C$, 1.2기압)에서 액상의 curcuminoid를 고압가열처리 하였을 경우 80-90%의 황색도 감소 및 구조적 파괴를 초래하였다. 하지만 분말상태 curcuminoid 시료의 고압가열처리 시는 10% 미만의 감소가 있었다. 고압가열처리 후 curcumonoids의 DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 각각 10.3 및 33.4%의 활성 감소를 보였으며, nitric oxide 소거능은 약간 증가하였다. 고압가열처리 후 각 curcuminoid의 잔류량의 분석 결과, curcumin이 99% 이상 감소하여 고압가열처리에 가장 민감한 것으로 나타났고 BMC는 16.5% 잔류하였다. 본 연구는 생리활성 증강의 목적으로 식품 중에 첨가된 curcuminoid가 다양한 가공, 조리 과정을 통해 화학적 변화 및 활성의 변화를 가져올 수 있음을 보여주며, 이와 같은 생리활성 물질의 안정화를 위한 적절한 가공, 조리 방법들이 신중하게 고려되어야 함을 제시하고 있다.

강황 (Curcuma longa L.) 색소의 curcuminoid 성분인 curcumin (CUR), demethoxycurcumin (DEM), bisdemethoxy-curcumin (BIS)의 정량분석을 위해 유의성있는 검량선$(r^2=0.9999**)$을 작성하였다. 사용된 HPLC는 역상칼럼을 장착하고 420nm의 UV 검출조건, 그리고 이동상으로 acetonitrile: $0.1\%$ acetic acid /water의 50 : 50 혼합용액을 이용하는 조건으로 분석조건이 확립되었다. 국내 6개 지역에서 재배된 강황들의 색소성분 함량분석 결과, CUR가 91.6mg/g으로 가장 높았으며 DEM은 56.9 mg/g이고 BIS는 23.0 mg/g으로 가장 낮게 나타났으며 총량은 평균 171.5 mg/g이었다. 강황 색소추출물의 저장시기별 색소성분의 함량 변화를 조사한 결과 $-20^{\circ}C$ 냉동저장은 거의 손실이 없었으나 상온저장은 60일 이후 급격한 감소율을 보였다. 저장 90일째의 색소성분은 암조건에서 약 $50\%$, 명조건에서 약 $30\%$만이 남아 있어 curcuminoid색소성분은 빛과 온도에 의해 분해가 촉진되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of yeast extract (YE) and salicylic acid (SA) on the expression of curcuminoid-biosynthesis genes (CzDCS and CURS1-3), and accumulation of curcumin in Curcuma zedoaria cell cultures. The results showed that, in cells treated with YE or SA, the expression levels of curcuminoid genes were 1.14- to 3.64-fold higher than the control (untreated cells), in which the YE exhibited a stronger effect in comparison with SA. Curcumin accumulation also tended to be similar to gene expression, curcumin contents in YE- or SA-treated cells were 1.61- to 2.53-fold higher than the control. The SA treatment at the fifth day of culture stimulated the curcumin accumulation and expression in all four genes compared to that at the beginning. While the YE treatments gave different results, the CzCURS1 and CzCURS3 genes were expressed strongly in cells that were treated at the beginning. However, the CzDCS and CzCURS2 genes showed the opposite expression pattern, they were activated strongly in the treatments at day five of the culture. However, the content of curcumin reached its maximum value on the fifth day of culture in all investigations.

The overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is known to be responsible for vasodilation and hypotension observed in septic shock and inflammation. Inhibitors of iNOS, thus, may be useful candidates for the treatment of inflammatory diseases accompanied by overproduction of NO. In the course of screening oriental anti-inflammatory herbs for the inhibitory activity of NO synthesis, a crude methanolic extract of Curcuma zedoaria exhibited significant activity. The activity-guided fractionation and repetitive chromatographic procedures with the EtOAc soluble fraction allowed us to isolate three active compounds. They were identified as 1,7-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4,6-heptatrien-3-one (1), procurcumenol (2) and epiprocurcumenol (3) by spectral data analyses. Their concentrations for the 50% inhibition of NO production $(IC_{50})$ in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages were 8, 75, 77 ${\mu}M$, respectively. Compound 1 showed the most potent inhibitory activity for NO production in LPS-activated macrophages, while the epimeric isomers, compound 2 and 3 showed weak and similar potency. Inhibition of NO synthesis by compound 1 was very weak when activated macrophages were treated with 1 after iNOS induction. In the immunoblot analysis, compound 1 suppressed the expression of iNOS in a dose-dependent manner. In summary, 1,7-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4,6-heptatrien-3-one from Curcuma zedoaria inhibited NO production in LPS-activated macrophages through suppression of iNOS expression. These results imply that the traditional use of C. zedoaria rhizome as anti-inflammatory drug may be explained at least in part, by inhibition of NO production.

A non linear QSAR model was constructed on a series of 57 xanthone and curcuminoide derivatives as ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitors by back-propagation neural network method. The neural network architecture was optimized to obtain a three-layer neural network, composed of five descriptors, nine hidden neurons and one output neuron. A good predictive determination coefficient was obtained (${R^2}_{Pset}$ = 86.7%), the statistical results being better than those obtained with the same data set using a multiple regression analysis (MLR). As in the MLR model, the descriptor MATS7v weighted by Van der Waals volume was found as the most important independent variable on the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory.

강황(Curcuma longa)으로부터 bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), demethoxycurcumin (DMC) 및 curcumin의 생물 활성을 offline-ABTS 측정법과 on-line screening high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-ABTS 측정법을 적용한 빠른 스크리닝을 통해 정량 및 성분 분리를 하였다. 이때, off-line-ABTS와 on-line screening HPLC-ABTS 비교는 미미한 오차를 보여주었다.
