The writer measured methemoglobin formation with solvent (n-hexane, ethylacetate and methanol) organic extracts from the sediments of the Wonju stream run through Wonju city on Octover 2nd, 1985. Hemoglobin was converted to methemoglobin with the n-hexane extract obtained from the sediment of the St. C and St. D was polluted industrial wastewater, but not with that from the St. B was polluted with the urban wastewater. The formation of methemoglobin was remarkable with the all solvent extracts from the sediment of the uper stream of the Wonju stream. Doses of the solvent extracts for 20% methemoglobin formation in the researched Wonju streams were as follows; 0.095～0.28 mg/m.$\ell$ in n-hexane extract. 0.85-1.3 mg/ m$\ell$ in methanol extract and 1.95～2.80 mg/m$\ell$ in ethylacetate extract.

Anticancer effect of methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. on oral carcinoma (KB) and osteosarcoma (HOS) cells were investigated in this study. In order to elucidate the anticancer mechanism of Caesalpinia sappan L, we analyzed telomerase inhibitory effect of the methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. In addition we prepared 5 fraction samples according to its polarity differences and analyzed anticancer effects on oral carcinoma and osteosarcoma cells. Following results are obtained in this study. 1. 50% cell proliferation inhibitory value ($IC_{50}$) of the methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. against oral carcinoma (KB) cells and osteosarcoma (HOS) cells were $9.0{\mu}g/ml$ and $10.9{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. 2. The methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. showed inhibitory effect of telomerase which is required for cancer cell immortality. Therefore, it seems that the anticancer effect of methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan is at least partially due to telomerase inhibitory effect. 3. Five fraction samples were prepared according to its polarity and 88.7% of ingredient of total methanol extract was transferred to ethylacetate fraction. Thin layer chromatography analysis showed that dichloromethane fraction contained ingredient with relatively high polarity and ethylacetate fraction contained similar ingredient found in total methanol extract. 4. Anticancer effect was observed in n-hexane, dichloromethane, and ethylacetate fractions. The highest anticancer effect was found in dichloromethane fraction which had $IC_{50}$ value of 4.4 and $>4.0{\mu}g/ml$ against oral carcinoma (KB) cells and osteosarcoma (HOS) cells, respectively.

Objectives: In this study, the pharmacological effects of the ethylacetate extract of Ostericum koreanum(North Kangwhal; NK) on allergic inflammation were investigated in activated human mast cells. Methods: North Kangwhal was extracted with 80% methanol for 24 h, and then fractionated with ethylacetate(NK-EtOAc extract). HMC-1 cells, an human mast line, were pre-incubated with different concentrations of NK-EtOAc extract for 30 min, and then stimulated with PMA(50 nM/ml) and A23187($1{\mu}M/ml$) at indicated times. The cell toxicity was determined by MTT assay. The concentrations of prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and cytokines(TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-8) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. Results: NK-EtOAc extract($10{\sim}50{\mu}g/ml$) significantly inhibited the productions of $PGE_2$, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-8 in PMA/A23187-stimulated HMC-1 cells without cell toxicity($0{\sim}50{\mu}g/ml$). NK-EtOAc extract also inhibited PMA/A23187-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 MAPK and the NF-${\kappa}B$ p65 subunit translocation into the nuclear of HMC-1 cells. Conclusions: This study suggests that NK-EtOAc extract may have an anti-inflammatory property through suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators in activated mast cells and its molecular mechanism underlies the blocking of NF-${\kappa}B$ pathway.

This study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial activities of organic extracts obtained from the fruit of Thuja orientalis L. The native fruits in Korea were collected and extracted by 80% ethanol, and the extract was sequentially fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol. The fraction yields of n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and water of ethanol extract were 10.15%, 10.05%, 1.45%, 45.35% and 27.55%, respectively. n-Hexane-soluble fraction showed the highest antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria, while the chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and aqueous fractions did not show any antibacterial activity. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) on Staphyloycoccus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Sateptococcus pneumoniae, n-hexane-soluble fraction were $100\;{\mu}g$, $500\;{\mu}g$ and $50\;{\mu}g$/disc, respectively. The antibacterial activity was not destroyed by heating at 80, 100, $120^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and was not affected by pH. In the inhibitory test against the Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Sateptococcus pneumoniae, n-hexane-soluble fraction showed potent growth inhibition at the concentration of 0.1 and $0.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ for 12~24 hours and n-hexane-soluble fraction did not show any mutagenic activity.

본 연구에서는 루이보스 추출물의 항산화, 성분 분석 및 elastase 저해 효과에 관한 조사를 수행하였다. 추출물의 free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성($FSC_{50}$)은 50 % ethanol 추출물($11.50\;{\mu}g/mL$) < 당을 제거시킨 플라보노이드 aglycone 분획(8.47) < ethylacetate 분획(4.76) 순으로 증가하였다. Luminol-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 루이보스 추출물의 총항산화능은 ethylacetate 분획 ($OSC_{50},\;4.58\;{\mu}g/mL$) < aglycone 분획(2.20) < 50% ethanol 추출물(1.09)순으로, 50 % ethanol 추출물에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었다. 루이보스 추출물에 대하여 rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 억제 효과를 측정하였다. 루이보스 추출물의 경우 농도 의존적($1\;{\sim}\;100\;{\mu}g/mL$)으로 광용혈을 억제하였다. 특히 50 % ethanol 추출물은 $50\;{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 ${\tau}_{50}$이 273.00 min으로 매우 큰 세포보호 효과를 나타내었다. 루이보스 추출물 중 ethylacetate 분획의 당 제거 반응 후 얻어진 aglycone 분획은 TLC에서 3개의 띠로 분리되었으며, HPLC 실험(360 nm)에서 3개의 피이크로 분리되었다. 분리된 3가지 성분은 luteolin, quercetin 및 kaempferol이었으며, 그들의 성분비는 각각 18.24 %, 58.79 %, 22.97 %로 quercetin의 함량이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 루이보스 추출물의 ethylacetate 분획의 TLC 크로마토그램은 7개의 띠로 분리되었고, HPLE 크로마토그램은 9개의 피이크를 보여주었다. TLC와 HPLC의 띠와 피이크를 확인한 결과, HPLC의 9개의 피이크는 용리순서로 peak 1 (조성비 14.71 %)은 isoorientin, peak 2 (28.84 %)는 orientin peak 3 (5.63 %)은 vitexin, peak 4 (12.73 %)는 rutin과 isovitexin, peak 5 (9.24 %)는 hyperoside, peak 6 (5.40%)은 isoquercitrin, peak 7 (1.48 %)은 luteolin, peak 8 (17.61 %)은 quercetin 및 peak 9 (4.59 %)는 kaempferol로 확인되었다. Aglycone 분획은 elastase 저해활성($IC_{50}$)이 $9.08\;{\mu}g/mL$로 매우 큰 활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과들은 루이보스 추출물이 $^1O_2$ 혹은 다른 ROS를 소광시키거나 소거함으로써 그리고 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리키며, 루이보스 성분에 대한 분석과 ethylacetate 분획의 당 제거 실험 후 얻어진 aglycone 분획의 큰 elastase 저해활성으로부터 주름개선 기능성 화장품원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

In the present study, total methanol extracts prepared from Alpinia katsumadai showed significant protective effects against the oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide, UV-C or ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation. These protective effects were substantially increased by treatment with 20~100 ${\mu}g$/ml of the extract. The A. katsumadai total methanol preparation was further fractionated into n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, n-butanol and water fractions. Among these five fractions, the ethylacetate and butanol fractions of A. katsumadai showed the strongest protective effects against oxidative stress induced by UV-C and ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation. These fractions also showed high DPPH radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities. In addition, both fractions displayed cell proliferation activation effects, as evidenced by significant increases in colony formation. Our current data thus suggest that the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of A. katsumadai against oxidative damage may include radical scavenging, protection against cell membrane damage and stimulation of cell proliferation.

In the course of screening lipid peroxidation inhibitor from basidiomycetes, a mushroom, which was collected at O-Dae mountain in Kangweon- Do, was found to have active compound. The mushroom was identified as Polyzellus multiplex, which belongs to Aphylloporalles Thelephoraceae, on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the fruiting body. The methanol extract of fruiting body was extracted with benzene and ethylacetate, sequentially. By using various kinds of chromatographies, PM1, and PM2 and PM3, were purified from the ethylacetate extract and the benzene extract, respectively. Color reaction and analyses of IR, UV, and NMR spectra indicated that PM1 was a derivative of thelephoric acid, and PM2 and PM3 were linoleic acid and oleic acid, respectively. IC$_{50}$ of PM1 for inhibition of lipid peroxidation was 1.96 ppm and LD$_{50}$ was 500 mg/kg.
