본 연구는 동맥 경화의 원인으로 알려진 사람 oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL)에 대한 geraniin의 산화 억제 효과에 대하여 실험하였다. 사람 LDL을 C $u^{2+}$유도 LDL로 산화 시킬 때 50와 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml 농도의 geraniin를 첨가하여 TBARS을 측정한 결과 LDL에 대한 항산화가 높았으며 용량 의존형으로 나타났다. Geraniin를 20-100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 농도를 조절하여 전기 영동에 의한 이동상을 조사한 결과 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml geraniin의 농도에서 거의 완전한 억제 효과를 보였다. 사람 LDL에 C $u^{2+}$로 유도하여 LDL를 산화시킬때 conjugated diene를 보면 geraniin를 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml 첨가하였을 때 억제 효과가 높았다. 또한 geraniin은 동맥의 내피세포에 서도 그 농도에 따라 억제효과를 나타내었다. 그리고 phorbol myristate acetate를 처리한 macrophage 유도활성 산소의 소거 효과는 geraniin의 농도가 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml일때 거의 소거하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 geraniin는 $\alpha$-tocopherol, ascorbir acid 및 합성 항산화제인 probucol과 거의 비슷한 항산화 활성이 있어 동맥 경화의 예방에 효과적이라는 결론을 얻었다.

Geraniin, a hydrolysable tannin, used in traditional medicine in Southeast Asia, is known to exhibit various biological activities. As an antioxidant it is known to up-regulate phase II enzyme Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). However its mechanism is not clearly understood. Nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2 related factor 2 (Nrf-2) is transcriptionally up-regulated by Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 and retained in nucleus due to inactivated Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta ($GSK-3{\beta}$). Geraniin additionally down-regulates expression of microRNA 217 and 377 (miR-217 and miR-377) which target HO-1 mRNA. Expression of BTB and CNC homolog 1 (BACH-1), another regulator of HO-1, is also down-regulated by up-regulating microRNA 98 (miR-98), a negative regulator of BACH-1. Thus, geraniin up-regulates HO-1 expression both through activating its positive regulator Nrf-2 and by down-regulating its negative regulator BACH-1. Up-regulation of HO-1 also confers protection to HepG2 cells from tertiary butyl hydroperoxide (TBH) induced cytotoxicity.

A chemical examination of the phenolic compounds in the leaves of Sapium japonicum(Euphorbiacesae) has led to the isolation of eleven phenolic compounds, containing five hydrolysable tannins and six flavonoids. On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidences, the structures of these compounds were confirmed to be gallic acid(1), 5-O-caffeoyl quinic acid(2), 1-O-galloyl-3,6-(R)-HHDP-${\beta}-_D$-glucose(corilagin)(3), 1-O-galloyl-2,4(R)-DHHDP-${\beta}-_D$-glucose(furosin)(4), 1-O-galloyl-2,4-(R)-DHHDP-3,6-(R)-HHDP-${\beta}-_D$-glucose(geraniin )(5), astragalin(6), trifolin(7), afzelin(8), quercetin(9), isoquercitrin(10) and rutin(11). Among them geraniin was the main component.

심혈관계 질환은 질환별 사망률 순위에 있어서 세계에서는 1위이며, 우리나라에서는 2위인 질병이다. 심혈관계 질환 발생의 주 위험 요인인 콜레스테롤은 HMG-CoA reductase에 의해 간에서 신생합성이 조절된다. 현재 고콜레스테롤혈증 치료에 statin이 널리 사용되고 있지만 광범위한 부작용이 보고되고 있어서 이를 대체하거나 보조할 수 있는 천연물 유래의 기능성 물질 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 혈장 콜레스테롤 감소 활성을 가지는 물질을 발굴하고자 71종의 페놀 및 그와 관련된 화합물들을 대상으로 10ug/ml 농도에서 HMG-CoA reductase 저해 활성을 탐색하였다. 그 결과, 1,4-naphthoquinone의 HMG-CoA reductase 저해율이 99.4%로 가장 높았고, 다음으로 plumbagin 91.4%, pentagalloyl ${\beta}-D-glucose$ 46.6%, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid 40.9%, shikonin 37.7%, 1,2-naphthoquinone 36.6%, trans-cinnamic acid 32.0%, acetonylgeraniin 30.2%, benzoic acid 28.5%, geraniin 28.3%, gentisic acid 22.3%의 순이었다. $IC_{50}$값을 계산한 결과, 1,4-naphthoquinone가 $2.1{\mu}g/ml$로 가장 낮았으며, plumbagin과 pentagalloyl ${\beta}-D-glucose$은 각각 $5.8{\mu}g/ml$과 $13.1{\mu}g/ml$으로 나타났다. 1,4-naphthoquinone과 plumbagin의 경우, $5{\mu}g/ml$에서도 각각 90.3%와 43.3%의 저해율을 나타내었다.

We have previously reported the isolation of seven hydrolyzable tannins and nine flavonoids from Euphorbia pekinensis Ruprecht. Further investigation about the same plant has led to the isolation of kaempferol, quercetin, kaempferol $3-O-(2'-O-galloyl-{\beta}-_D-glucoside)$, quercetin 3-O-(2'-O-galloylrutinoside), ellagic acid and acetonyl geraniin. These compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Based on the success of green tea as a cancer preventive, herbal medicines are now also attracting attention as potential sources of cancer preventive agents. Using inhibition of TNF-$\alpha$ release assay, we studied Acer nikoense (Megusurino-ki in Japanese): Inhibitory potential was found in the leaf extract, and the main active constituents were identified as geraniin and corilagin. The $IC_{50}$/ values for TNF-$\alpha$ release inhibition were 43 $\mu$M for geraniin and 76 $\mu$M for corilagin, whereas that for (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)was 26 $\mu$M.(omitted)

The herbaceous species of phyllanthus in this genus are used as hyperglycemic, diuretic, and malaria agent in the world. For the phytochemical studies and the investigation of medicinal resources in the Phyllanthus species, Phyllanthus ussuriensis (Euphorbiaceae) were used and the studies of constituents in this plant were carried out. From the aqueous fraction of methanolic extract, one flavonoid (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside), two gallotannins (gallic acid, methyl gallate), and two ellagitannins (corilagin, geraniin) were isolated through fractionation and repeated column chromatography using Amberlite XAD-4, ODS gel, and sephadex LH-20. The structures of these compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic evidences.
