  • The inhibitory effect of extracts from 15 edible plants on the protease of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 was investigated. Protease activity was determined by incubating the extracts in a reaction mixture containing protease and substrate His-Lys-Ala-Arg-Val-Leu-(p-NO$_2$-Phe)-Glu-Ala-Nle-Ser-NH$_2$ to inhibit proteolytic cleavage. Of various plants tested, the leaves of Cedrela sinensis inhibited the HIV-1 protease by 42% at a concentration of 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. A major flavonoid isolated from the leaves of C. sinensis, quercetin 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnoside showed inhibitory activity of 19% at a concentration of 100$\mu$M.

  • Continued to the previous paper, the present investigation deals with stronitium-90 activities and calcium contents among 54 samples of edible marine algae collected along the coast of Korea during September, 1973 and April, 1974. The calcium contents are variable 2.0-17.8%, and 6.38% on an average. Most of the members investigated contain 2-4% in green and red algae, and 8-10% in brown algae. Strontium-90 activities are 0.32-0.37 pCi/l in sea-water, and 0.80-28.66 pCi$\^$90/Sr/g Ca in edible seaweeds. Among the algal phyla, they are 12.49 in green, 3.34 in brown, and 9.39 pCi$\^$90/Sr/g Ca in red algae, while they are 6.25 pCi$\^$90/Sr/g Ca on an average. In a single species collected at the same season, the highest activities appear mostly from the eastern coast, and from the western and southern coasts, in turn. The green algae, Capsosiphon- Enteromorpha complex show about 3 times higher activities, 28.66 pCi$\^$90/Sr /g Ca compared with the other members showing rather higher activities, and would be an indicator plant of strontium-90 activities of the marine algae along the coast of Korea.

  • Continued to the previous papers, the present investigation is carried out to clarify cesium-137 activities and potassium contents among 54 samples of edible marine algae collected along the coast of Korea during September, 1973 and April, 1974. The potassium contents are variable, 1.5-29.6%, and 11.36% on an average, while most of the members contain them about 10-16% generally. Among the algal phyla, they are 13.49% in green, 10.82% in brown and 16.46% in red algae, respectively. Cesium-137 activities are variable, 0.19-8.13 pCi$\^$137/ Cs/g K, and 2.35 pCi$\^$137/Cs/g K on an average in the samples investigated. Among the algal phyla they are 4.35 in green, 2.17 in brown and 0.89 pCi $\^$137/Cs/g K in red algae, respectively. Green algae contain especially higher activities compared with the other two groups. The brown alga, Myelophycus caespitosus shows the highest activities, 8.13 pCi$\^$137/Cs/g K, among the members investigated. Considering the concentration factor, this plant would be an indicator plant of cesium-137 among the marine algae along the coast of Korea.

  • An edible wild perennial plant with extremely potent antimicrobial activity was found and identified as apiifolia Virgin's Bower (Clematis apiifolia DC) which is easily found around wet wildernesses. Fresh fruit extract of C. apiifolia exhibited minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in the vicinity of 0.1% against various yeasts and of less than or equal to 0.4% for non-lactic acid bacteria. MICs against lactic acid bacteria were about 2.0%. The antimicrobial activity of C. apiifolia fruit was even more potent than that of garlic which has been known for its potent antimicrobial activity. The principal antimicrobial compound of fruit extract of C. apiifolia was isolated and identified by high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography as protoanemonin (a gamma lactone of 4-hydroxy-2,4-pentadienoic acid). The antimicrobial activity of C. apiifolia was stable at high temperatures, and the activity was maintained after heating at $121^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The antimicrobial compound of C. apiifolia was supposed to inhibit microorganisms by reacting with sulfhydryl groups of cellular proteins.

  • 본 연구는 산림의 유용한 식물중 하나인 멸가치의 생육특성을 밝혀 보고자 습도와 광도를 조사하였다. 주요 산채류중 하나인 멸가치의 생약성분이 정신분열증을 일으키는 dopamine함량 감소작용을 일으켰다는 보고 등 자원으로서의 가치가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 멸가치의 생육에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것은 습도로 $50\%$ 이상이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 온도변화가 자고 광량은 $200\;{\mu}mol\;s^{-1}m^{-2}$이하의 곳이 생육에 적합한 장소로 분석되었다. 이 연구 결과 음지식물의 증식에 있어서 습도를 $50\%$이상 유지하는 것이 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

  • 뇌의 송과선에서 분비되는 호르몬인 melatonin은 생체의 산화적 손상을 방어하는 효능이 있다고 알려져 있는데, 26종의 식물체로부터 그 존재 및 함량을 분석하였다. Melatonin 함유 분획을 조제하기 위하여 동결건조된 식물체 분말을 50% ethanol로 추출한 다음 여과 후 TLC 상에서 acetone으로 전개시켜 melatonin을 분리하였다. 형광하에서 확인된 melatonin spot은 methanol로 추출한 다음 HPLC로 분석하였다. HPLC 분석시 ODS-A column을 사용하였으며 이동상은 70% ammonium acetate와 메탄올을 30 : 70(v/v)으로 섞어서 1.0 mL/min의 속도로 흘려주었다. Melatonin peak의 확인은 형광 detector를 이용하였으며 retention time은 17분이었다. 이같은 분석조건에서 셀러리, 부추, 브로콜리, 컬리플라워 등에서 높은 melatonin 함량이 확인되었다.

  • Many skin diseases are caused by microbial infections. Representative pathogenic fungus and bacterium that cause skin diseases are Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Malassezia pachydermatis is a fungus that causes animal skin diseases. In this study, we propose a method for removing pathogenic microorganisms from the skin using relatively safe edible herbal extracts. Herbal extracts were screened for skin health through the removal of pathogenic microorganisms, and combinations for effective utilization of the screened extracts were identified. In this study, among methanol extracts of 240 edible plants, C. albicans, S. aureus, and M. pachydermatis were killed by extracts of 10 plants: Acori Gramineri Rhizoma, Angelicae Tenuissimae Radix, Cinnamomi Cortex, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Impatientis Semen, Magnoliae Cortex, Moutan Cortex Radicis, Phellodendri Cortex, Scutellariae Radix, and Syzygii Flos. By evaluating the synergistic antifungal activities against C. albicans using all 45 possible combinations of these 10 extracts, five new synergistic antifungal combinations, Acori Gramineri Rhizoma with Magnoliae Cortex extracts, Acori Gramineri Rhizoma with Phellodendri Cortex extracts, Angelicae Tenuissimae Radix with Magnoliae Cortex extracts, Magnoliae Cortex with Phellodendri Cortex extracts, and Phellodendri Cortex with Syzygii Flos extracts, were identified. By utilizing the selected extracts and five combinations with synergistic antifungal effects, this work provides materials and methods to develop new and safe methods for treating candidiasis using natural products.

  • 많은 식물 추출물들은 항산화 효능을 지니고 있으나 대량 생산 공정시 그들의 활성을 잃어버리는 경향이 있다. 따라서 본 본문에서는 대량 생산 공정을 거쳐 국내 유통 중인 43종의 식용식물 추출물을 대상으로 총 페놀 함량, DPPH 라디칼 포착 효능, 그리고 superoxide anion 라디칼 포착 효능을 측정하였다. 그 결과 개똥쑥(Artemisia annua, whole plant), 마태(Ilex paraguariensis leaf), 엉겅퀴(Silybum marianum, fruit 그리고 leaf), 유근피(Ulmus pumila, bark), 운지버섯(Coriolus versicolor, fruit) 그리고 울금(Curcuma longa, root 그리고 stem) 추출물은 70 mg/g 이상의 높은 페놀화합물을 함유하는 것으로 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼의 포착 효능에서 개똥쑥, 마테, 솔잎(Pinus densiflora, leaf), 엉겅퀴, 유근피, 그리고 울금 추출물의 $SC_{50}$ 값 측정 결과 각각 $53.96{\pm}0.81ppm,\;24.61{\pm}2.12ppm,\;35.96{\pm}1.11ppm,\;57.45{\pm}2.13ppm,\;55.25{\pm}1.65ppm$ 그리고 $12.99{\pm}1.67ppm$으로 나타났다(비타민 C의 $SC_{50}$값: $3.86{\pm}0.81ppm$). 또한 superoxide anion 라디칼 포착 효능에서는 개똥쑥, 계피(Cinnamomum zeylunicum, bark), 마테, 복분자(Rubus coreanus, fruit 그리고 leaf), 상엽(Morus alba, leaf), 솔잎, 엉겅퀴, 유근피, 운지버섯, 울금, 자소엽(Perilla frutescens var. acuta, leaf) 그리고 히비스커스(Hibiscus sabdariffa, leaf) 그리고 flower) 추출물의 $SC_{50}$ 값 측정 결과 각각 $53.21{\pm}1.83ppm,\;50.12{\pm}2.12ppm,\;5.59{\pm}0.84ppm,\;41.60{\pm}8.93ppm,\;20.19{\pm}0.97ppm,\;15.19{\pm}1.66ppm,\;21.20{\pm}1.88ppm,\;15.71{\pm}0.91ppm,\;55.48{\pm}2.42ppm,\;52.12{\pm}2.44ppm,\;23.80{\pm}1.98ppm$ 그리고 $11.14{\pm}0.51ppm$인 것으로 나타났다(비타민 C의 $SC_{50}$ 값:$9.61{\pm}0.93ppm$). 특히 마테 추출물과 솔잎 추출물은 총 페놀 함량이 높으면서 DPPH 라디칼과 superoxide anion 라디칼을 동시에 효율적으로 포착하는 효능을 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 마테와 솔잎의 상업적인 추출물은 기능성 항산화제로서 유용한 소재로 사용 가능 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Helicobacter pylori is the etiologic agent of human gastritis and peptic ulceration and produces urease as the major protein component on its surface. H. pylori urease is known to serve as a potent immunogen as well as major virulence factor. In order to express the recombinant urease in tobacco plants, a DNA fragment containing the minimal H. pylori urease gene cluster was subcloned into a plant expression vector. The recombinant vector was transformed to tobacco plants. The integration of the recombinant plasmids into tobacco chromosomal genome was verified by genomic PCR. Expression to mRNA was confirmed by Northern blot analysis, and expression to recombinant urease protein was observed by Western blot analysis. These results showed that the recombinant urease can be produced in tobacco plants and will be tested for immune response to use as an edible vaccine.
