Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) is a standardized extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves and has anti- atherosclerosis properties. Many patients with atherosclerosis disorders take Ginkgo biloba extracts to supplement current therapy. In addition, normal healthy individuals also take Ginkgo biloba extracts for prophylactic purposes. However, it is unknown whether supplementation of Gingko biloba extracts in healthy individuals offer a benefit. In this study, we assessed whether EGb 761 could provide beneficial effects on serum cholesterol levels in normal mice. Wild-type C56Bl/6 mice were orally administered EGb 761 at 25 mg/kg (Group 3) or 50 mg/kg (Group 4) every other day for 40 days. We found that the serum levels of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly increased in EGb 761 and lovastatin treated groups. Treatment with EGb 761 and lovastatin resulted in reduced serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) compared to control group. Serum lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) levels were higher in EGb 761 and lovastatin treated group compared to the control group. However, no difference was observed in serum APO A-I levels between the control group and treatment group. These results suggest that EGb 761 can increase HDL-C resulting in increased serum LCAT levels.

Objectives: We investigated the physical effects of the cosmetics containing Ginkgo biloba. with meridian massage on human skin by using non-invasive instruments. Methods: We made cosmetics containing the extract of Ginkgo biloba. and measured physiological effects such as skin moisturization, blood flow, skin color, sebum secretion, skin evenness of volunteers applied the cosmetic products with meridian massage for 2 weeks. Results: Topical applications of w/o cream that 1 % Ginkgo biloba. was emulsified, showed significant improvement of blood flow, water contents and $L{\ast}$ value of the face skin. And the skin evenness, sebum contents and skin surface smoothness were improved after 2 weeks. Conclusions: The combination of cosmetics containing the extract of Ginkgo biloba. with meridian massage improved the physical properties of human skin during a treatment. Especially the meridian massage played a role of enhancing the effect of the cosmetics containing Ginkgo biloba.

본 연구는 국내산 은행나무(Ginkgo biloba) 뿌리, 열매껍질, 가지 등 부위별 추출물의 진균류, 일반세균 및 해충에 대한 생물활성을 조사하였다. 연구 결과 푸른곰팡이 병균(T.harzianum) 및 대장균(E.coli) 등에 대해 200 ug/disc 농도에서 저해활성을 나타냈으며, 줄기부위가 더 높은 항미생물활성을 보였다. 특히 버섯 배양상 표면에 1mg/ml 수준으로 처리할 경우 푸른 곰팡이병의 발생을 상당히 억제시키는 효과를 나타냈다. 한편, 은행나무 부위별 추출물을 500 ug/ml으로 공시 해충을 처리하였을 경우 대부분의 추출물이 살충활성을 보이며 벼멸구, 배추좀나방, 두점박이응애에 대해 높은 살충활성을 나타냈으며, 특히, 벼멸구에 대해서 8ug/ml의 낮은 농도에서도 살충활성을 나타냈다. 본 연구결과 국내산 은행나무 추출물이 항미생물 및 살충활성이 확인되었는 바 식물유래 병해충 방제용 천연물 농약으로서의 잠재성을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 은행잎에 존재하는 생리활성 물질이 추출용매와 추출조건에 따른 D. pteronyssinus에 대한 살충 실험을 통해 최적 추출 조건을 확립하였다. 은행잎 성분 중 bilobalide가 D. pteronyssinus에 살충효과가 있음을 검증하였으며, 다양한 은행잎 추출조건에 따른 살충실험을 한 결과 48시간 이후 약 68%$\sim$80%의 치사율을 보였다. 종합적으로 판단해 볼 때 경제성과 치사율을 고려하면 80$^{\circ}C$에서 온수추출물 (GLW80)이 가장 최적추출 조건이다.

Ginkgo biloba Leaf Extract (GBE) is an extract from leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree, widely used as a health supplement. GBE can inhibit the proliferation of several types of tumor cell. Although it is known to have anti-cancer effects in breast cancer and skin cancer, research related to gastric cancer is still insufficient. Based on results showing anti-cancer effects on solid cancer, we aimed to determine whether GBE has similar effects on gastric cancer. In this study, the anti-cancer effect of GBE in gastric adenocarcinoma was investigated by confirming the cell proliferation inhibitory effect of AGS cells. We also evaluated whether GBE regulates expression of the tumor suppressor protein p53 and Rb. GBE has apoptotic effects on AGS cells that were confirmed by changes in anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2, Bcl-xl and pro-apoptosis protein Bax levels. Wound healing and cell migration were also decreased by treatment with GBE. Furthermore, we verified the effects of GBE on mitogenic signaling by investigating AKT target gene expression levels and revealed downregulated Sod2 and Bcl6 expression. We also confirmed that expression of inflammation-related genes decreased in a time-dependent manner. These results indicate that GBE has an anti-cancer effect on human gastric cancer cell lines. Further research on the mechanism of the anti-cancer effect will serve as basic data for possible anti-cancer drug development.

은행잎 엑스 3종류를 이용하여 활성산소와 염중관련 아라키돈산 유리의 억제능을 보았다. 은행잎 엑스, Ginkgolide A, Ginkgolide B의 3종류 모두 pyrogallol 자동산화에서는 항산화능을 발휘하지 못하였으나, DPPH법의 전자공여능에서는 환원력을 나타내었다. 10 ${\mu}M$ 과산화수소($IC_{50}=10\;{\mu}M$)로 U937의 지질과산화 유도 시 은행잎 엑스 3종류 모두 400 ${\mu}g/mL$이상에서는 보호하였으나, 은행잎 엑스가 가장 좋았다. 단백질 분해실험에서는 Ginkgolide A만이 효과가 좋아 50 ${\mu}g/mL$에서도 거의 억제하였다. TPA와 calcimycin을 U937에 첨가하여 염중 유도의 중요 물질인 아라키돈산 유리를 유도하였다. 이 아라키돈산 유리 유도 시 은행잎 엑스 3종류 모두 10 ${\mu}g/mL$에서도 뛰어난 억제능을 보였으며, 특히 Ginkgolide B는 유도 시에 비하여 11배 억제하였으며, 비유도시인 대조군보다도 약 4배의 억제능을 보였다. 따라서 은행잎 엑스가 항산화능에 의해 아라키돈산 유리를 억제하는 것이 아니라 아라키돈산 유리의 전 단계의 어느 부분을 강하게 억제하여 아라키돈산 유리가 저해되는 것으로 생각된다.

Oxidative stress is one of the major reasons for brain aging and neurodegeneration. Ethanol and acetaldehyde increase the levle of oxidative stress in brain tissue resulting in aging and neurodegeneration related alcoholic dementia. Ginkgo biloba extracts are used as therapeutic and preventive agent for dementia. Here, it was investigated whether Ginkgo biloba extract show the effectiveness against ethanol- and acetaldehyde-induced oxidative stress in rat brain. Ethanol and acetaldehyde increased the level of oxidative stress by about 35% to 50% in rat brain tissue. However, Ginkgo biloba extracts reduced the level of ethanol- and acetaldehyde-induced oxidative stress. This result might reveal the link between the effectiveness of Ginkgo biloba extracts on oxidative stress and its effectiveness on alcoholic dementia.
