  • "Eating cosmetic" market comes to prominence worldwide. Inner Beauty has established itself as the top trend nowadays and is leading the health functional food market. Another noticeable trend other than beauty-from-within is that products using "plant-based" natural botanical raw material are increasing. Based on these trends above, we have developed a plant extract named Agatri® for skin health using Agastache rugosa. By ingesting Agatri®, it is expected that the formation of skin wrinkles is suppressed, and skin elasticity is increased by suppressing the decrease in collagen content caused by ultraviolet rays. At the same time, it is possible to prevent skin aging by improving skin hydration and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). The studies show that it significantly increased production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, and decreased production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). And Agatri® has been approved as an "Individually recognized functional ingredient for skin health by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Korea in 2020. As a result, Agatri® is a good solution for those who are in need of skin protection from exposure to UV and aging.

  • The biological activities of licorice F1 (Glycyrrhiza glabra ${\times}$ G. uralensis) lines (G) were investigated, revealing strong radical scavenging activity targeting 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl (${\cdot}OH$) radicals. At a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$, most of the licorice F1 lines scavenged DPPH and ${\cdot}OH$ by more than 80%. Gs-1, -2, and -6 can be considered good scavengers of DPPH radical and G-7 have higher antioxidant activity against ${\cdot}OH$ radical. In addition, licorice F1 lines exerted effective anti-microbial activities against Escherichia coli (Gs-12, -17, and -18) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gs-3, -4, -5, -21, and -26). Moreover, Gs-2, - 20, -31, and -32 effectively inhibited the growth of Helicobacter pylori. Among licorice F1 lines, Gs-25 exhibited high anti-inflammatory effects on nitric oxide produced by lipopolysaccharide- and interferon-${\gamma}$-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, Gs-1, -12, and -20 inhibited the growth of AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells by more than 60% at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$ and Gs-5, -11, -19, and -32 showed inhibitory effects against rat lens aldose reductase ($IC_{50}$ values, 1.69, 6.07, 6.12, and $4.54{\mu}g/mL$, respectively). The total content of glycyrrhizin (1), glycyrrhetinic acid (2), glabridin (3), and isoliquiritigenin (4) in licorice F1 lines was high in Gs-11, -15, and -30. The present study therefore indicated that Gs-2, -26, -31, and -32 of licorice F1 possessing strong anti-oxidative, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and aldose reductase inhibitory effects may be used as a possible source material for natural health supplements in the future.

  • Ficus vasculosa Wall. ex Miq. (FV) has been used as a herbal medicine in Southeast Asia and its antioxidant activity has been shown in previous studies. However, it has not yet been elucidated whether FV exerts anti-inflammatory effects on activated-macrophages. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the ameliorative property of FV methanol extract (FM) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses and the underlying molecular mechanisms in RAW264.7 macrophages. The experimental results indicated that FM decreased the production of inflammatory mediators (NO/PGE2) and the mRNA/protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. FM also reduced the secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Results also demonstrated that FM improved inflammatory response in LPS-stimulated A549 airway epithelial cells by inhibiting the production of cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. In addition, FM suppressed MAPK activation and NF-κB nuclear translocation induced by LPS. FM also upregulated the mRNA/protein expression levels of heme oxygenase-1 and the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 in RAW264.7 cells. In an experimental animal model of LPS-induced acute lung injury, the increased levels of molecules in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were suppressed by FM administration. Collectively, it was founded that FM has anti-inflammatory properties on activated-macrophages by suppressing inflammatory molecules and regulating the activation of MAPK/NF-κB signaling.

  • The effect of aqueous extracts of medicinal plants $AMP-365^{TM}$ was tested for immune system regulating activity based on anti-inflammatory activity, anti-oxidant, macrophage proliferation and T-lymphocyte proliferation activity. $AMP-365^{TM}$ dose-dependently increased proliferation of RAW264.7 macrophage cells and its nitric oxide production as well as DPPH radical scavenging activity. On the other hand, T-lymphocyte proliferation activity was decreased on dose-dependent manner. Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction was alleviated by 49% by administering 250 mg/kg of $AMP-365^{TM}$. The results suggest that $AMP-365^{TM}$ can be beneficial in the treatment of immediate allergic reactions as an adjuvant supplement material.

  • 강화사자발쑥(Artemisia princeps Pampanini)은 항산화, 항염증 및 항균제와 같은 면역 기능 관련 질병에 널리 사용되는 약초이다. 이 연구에서 우리는 RAW 264.7 세포에서 AP 추출물의 항염증 효과를 조사하고 관련 메커니즘을 평가하였다. AP 추출물의 효과는 complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) 유도 관절염 및 lipopolysaccharide(LPS) 유도 마우스 모델에서도 평가되었다. RAW 264.7 세포에서 AP 추출물은 LPS에 의해 유도 된 산화질소(NO) 생성과 inducible NO synthase 및 cyclooxygenase-2 단백질 발현을 현저하게 억제했다. RAW 264.7 세포에서 LPS로 유도된 mitogen-activated protein kinase 와 nuclear factor-κB의 인산화 또한 AP 추출물에 의해 유의하게 억제되었다. AP 추출물의 경구 투여는 CFA 처리 마우스 그룹에 비해 발의 부종 및 비장 지수 증가를 억제하였다. 조직학적으로 CFA 처리 마우스 군에서는 cartilage와 synovium에서 염증 세포의 침윤이 증가한 반면 AP 추출물 투여군에서는 억제되었다. 더욱이, AP 추출물은 염증성 사이토카인으로 알려진 tumor necrosis factor-α 수준을 CFA 및 LPS 처리 마우스 모델에서 현저하게 감소시켰다. 결론적으로, AP 추출물의 항염증 및 항 관절염 효과는 in vitro 및 in vivo 모델 모두에서 확인되었으며, 이는 Artemisia princeps Pampanini가 관절염 치료의 후보 물질이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Carbonic maceration 처리는 포도주 제조 시 사과산을 감소시키는 방법으로 사과산 감소의 원인 중 미생물의 영향을 알아보고자 사과산을 감소시키고 젖산을 생성시키는 미생물을 분리, 동정한 결과Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum 및 Streptococcus thermophilus의 젖산균이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 분리된 균들은 대부분 당에서 젖산을 생성하는 균으로 알려져 있으며 사과산을 함유한 배지에서 균의 배양 중 사과산을 이용하지 않고 젖산을 생성하는 것으로 보아 주로 당을 이용하여 젖산을 생성하는 것으로 보인다. 사과산을 이용해 젖산을 생성시키는 대표적인 malo-lactic bacteria인 Oenococcus oeni 균은 본 실험에서는 동정되지 않았다. 따라서 carbonic maceration 처리 시 사과산의 감소는 포도에 자연적으로 생육한다는 malo-lactic bacteria나 감산 관련 미생물의 영향은 크게 받지 않는 것으로 판단되며, 젖산 함량의 증가는 당을 이용하는 다양한 젖산균에 의해 생성되는 것으로 판단된다.

  • The activities on the inhibition of NO on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages were investigated in this work. A simple and sensitive method has been developed and validated for fingerprinting analysis of leaves of Acanthopanax gracilistylus W.W. Smith (AGS). The cytotoxicity and inhibition of NO on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells of the extract and triterpenoids were determined. Optimal conditions of HPLC analysis were established as follows. The separation was performed with an ODS-C18 column at $30^{\circ}C$, the detected wavelength was 210 nm, the flow rate was 1 mL/min, and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (0.05% phosphoric acid)-0.05% phosphoric acid solution with gradient elution. Our results showed that impressic acid and acankoreaogenin was more effective on the inhibition of NO than the methanol extract and other compounds. There were seventeen peaks coexisted with similarities above 0.95 and nine lupane-triterpenoids including acankoreaogenin and impressic acid detected and identified. The result of anti-inflammatory activities provides a potential explanation for the use of AGS leaves as a herbal medicine in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Our results also show that acankoreanogenin and impressic acid may be potentially useful in developing new anti-inflammatory agents. In addition, the fingerprint chromatography clearly illustrated and confirmed the material basis for the anti-inflammatory activities of this plant.
