In the present study, we investigated whether Houttuynia cordata Thumb (Saururaceae; HC) extracts have an anti-inflammatory effect in human monocytic THP-1 cells and human eosinophilic EoL-1 cells. The dried and powdered whole plants of HC were extracted with 80% EtOH. The combined extract (HC-1) was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water, and then successively partitioned with n-hexane, EtOAc, and BuOH to produce the n-hexane (HC-2), EtOAc (HC-3), BuOH (HC-4), and the water-soluble fractions (HC-5), respectively. HC extracts have no cytotoxicity on THP-1 cells and EoL-1 cells at a high concentration of $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ for 24 h, except HC-2 extract ($10\;{\mu}g/ml$). Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8 and Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in THP-1 cells were increased after the treatment with the extract from house dust mite or LPS. The increase of cytokine production was strongly suppressed by HC-3 extract, in comparision with other extracts. HC-3 also had inhibitory effect on Interleukin-6 production increased by mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. However, HC-3 extract increased Interleukin-8 production induced by mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. These results suggest that HC extracts may be used as useful agents for treating allergic disorders such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.

접촉분해경유(LCO)와 dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)수용액의 평형추출로부터 얻어진 추출상을 원료로 사용한 역추출에 의해 추출상중의 방향족의 회수를 검토했다. 역추출 용매의 선정을 위해, Benzene, Toluene, m-Xylene(mX), n-Hexane(Hx)과 n-Octane(Ot)을 용매로 사용하여 추출상-용매간의 분배평형을 측정한 결과, 추출상중의 방향족의 회수면에서 Hx이 가장 적절한 용매이었다. 또, Hx을 용매로 사용하여 평형 역추출을 행해 방향족의 회수에 대한 조작인자의 영향을 검토했다. 방향족에 대한 분배계수는 용매/원료(추출상) 질량비(S/F)(S/F를 변화시켜 얻어진 추잔상 혹은 추출상중의 질량분율)에 관계없이 일정했으나 수율은 S/F가 증가함에 따라 증가했다. 조작온도는 방향족의 분배계수와 수율에 영향을 미치지 못했다. 나프탈렌류 성분(탄소수:10~12)간에는 탄소수가 많을수록 분배계수 및 수율이 컸다. 또한, 회분 교반조를 사용하여 역추출을 행해 방향족 성분의 물질이동 속도를 측정했다.

우리나라 전국 산지에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 노루발풀을 건조시켜 80% ethanol 추출물과 여러 가지 용매 분획물의 미생물 증식 억제 효과에 대해서 검색하였다. 노루발풀의 80% ethanol 추출물은 그람 양성균 B. subtilis에서 농도 의존적으로 항균활성을 나타내는 반면 그람 음성균 E. coli에서는 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 노루발풀의 80% ethanol 추출물을 용매 분획하여 얻은 분획물 중 hexane층에서 항균활성이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 노루발풀의 항균활성 물질을 검색하기 위한 목적으로 hexane 분획물을 silica gel column chromatography, prep. TLC 및 HPLC를 실시하였으며 그 결과, peak I의 단일 물질이 노루발풀의 B. subtilis에 대한 항균활성을 나타내는 물질임을 확인할 수 있었다.

인구의 수명이 연장되고 노령화 사회로 발전됨에 따라 다양한 성인병이 야기되고 있고, 이들 성인병의 원인이 활성산소에 의한 것으로 밝혀짐에 따라 이들의 다양한 성인병을 예방 치료할 수 있는 안전하고 우수한 항산화 물질을 천연물로부터 개발하기 위하여 약용식물 30종을 대상으로 그들의 MeOH 엑스에 대한 자유라디칼소거효과 및 오배자의 분획에 대한 항산화효과를 연구하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. DPPH법을 사용하여 약용식물 10종의 MeOH 엑스에 대한 1차 라디칼 소거작용 검색 시험을 한 결과 오배자, 토복령과 호장근의 MeOH 엑스가 가장 강한 항산화 활성 을 나타내었으며 이중에서 오배자의 자유라디칼 소거효과가 가장 높게 나타났다. 2. 1차 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 토대로 가장 강한 활성을 나타낸 오배자에 대하여 오배자의 MeOH 엑스로부터 각 극성별로 분획하여 얻어진 n-Hpxane, EtOAc, BuOH, $H_2O$ 엑스에 대하여 DPPH법을 이용한 라더칼 소거작용을 시험한 결과, n-Hexane, EtOAc, BuOH 엑스가 강한 자유라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었다. 3. Ferric-Thiocyana법을 이용하여 오배자의 n-Hexane, EtOAc, BuOH 및 $H_2O$엑스에 대하여 지질 과산화 억제 작용에 의한 항산화 활성을 시험한 결과 오배자의 n-Hexane, EtOAc, 및 BuOH 엑스는 천연 항산화제인 tocopherol 및 합성 항산화제 인 BHA 보다 우수한 탁월한 항산화 효과를 나타내었고, $H_2O$ 엑스는 tocopherol 보다는 우수하고 BHA와는 유사한 강한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다.

Atopic dermatitis is a recurrent or chronic eczematous skin disease with severe pruritus and has annually increased in Korea. In this study, we investigated whether Duchesnea chrysantha (Dc) extracts have an anti-inflammatory effect in human monocytic THP-1 cells and human eosinophilic EoL-1 cells. The dried and powdered whole plants of Dc were extracted with 80% EtOH (Dc-1). The residue was diluted with water, and then successively partitioned with n-hexane, EtOAc, and BuOH to produce the n-hexane (Dc-2), EtOAc (Dc-3), BuOH (Dc-4), and the water-soluble fractions (Dc-5), respectively. The mite extract and LPS increased the production of IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 in THP-1 cells and the increase was strongly suppressed by Dc-3 extract, as compare with other extracts. Dc-3 also inhibited the release of IL-6 increased by mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. However, Dc-3 extract increased IL-8 production induced by the mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. These results suggest that Dc extract may be used as anti-inflammatory agents in treating allergic disorders such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.

In this study, we evaluated the anti-oxidative, anti-wrinkle and whitening effect of Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke extract. Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke was extracted by two different solvents which were n-hexane and ethyl acetate. The anti-oxidant activity was measured by free radical scavenging activity using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical). And the inhibitory activities of tyrosinase for whitening effect and collagenase for anti-wrinkle were investigated. For anti-oxidant activity and whitening activity, ethyl acetate fraction of Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke extract showed more significant activity than n-hexane fraction of Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke extract. For anti-wrinkle activity, ethyl acetate fraction of Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke extract exhibited strong inhibition effects compared with reference. Therefore, Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke extract may be useful as a new antioxidant and anti-aging agent.

Alnus japonica cortex has been used as antidiarrhea, antihemorrhage and the remedy of indigestion. This study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of the methanol extracts of the Alnus japonica cortex on the gastric lesion and ulcer. The methanol extract was fractionated with hexane, chloroform and butanol, followed by bioassay on antigastritic and antiulcer activity. The methanol extract showed low acute toxicity with minimum lethal dose of more than 5000 mg/kg, p.o. in mice. The chloroform and the butanol fraction reduced gastric lesion in HCI. ethanol induced gastritic model. On gastric secretion in pylorus ligated rat, the hexane and chloroform fraction decreased the volume and acidity. The butanol fraction had significant inhibitory effects on aspirin and Shay's ulcer. The butanol fraction showed a tendency to inhibit the decrease of mucin secretion due to ingestion of absolute ethanol.

The first study on chemical constituents and biological activities of Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels (Rutaceae) growing in Vietnam has been done. Phytochemical investigation of n-hexane extract led to the isolation of five compounds: dihydroindicolactone (1), 8-geranyloxy psoralen (2), imperatorin (3), heraclenol (4) and indicolactone (5), in which this is the first report on the presence of dihydroindicolactone (1). Their structures were elucidated based on LC/MS/NMR hyphenated techniques as well as comparison with those of literature data. The n-hexane extract and its subfractions, ethanol 95% extract and several isolated compounds were evaluated for antifungal activity.

This study was undertaken to separate and identify antifungla substances produced by Gilocladium virens G1, a biocontrol agent used for the control of plant diseases caused by Rhizoctonea solani. The culture of G. virens G1 effectively inhibited the growth of R. solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Phytophthora capsici, but less that of Fusarium oxysporum. The n-hexane extract of the G. virens culture, which was used for the purification of responsible substances, strongly inhibited R. solani and C. gloeosporioides, but not P. capsici, although the n-butanol extract was effective on all of the pathogens tested. An antifungal substance was purified using the n-hexane extract by Silica gel column chromatography and HPLC. The substance was examined for purity by HPLC and for nature by UV spectrometry, which differed from known antibiotic compounds such as gliotoxin, viridin and gliovirin. The antifungal substance was very liphophilic based on its solvent-solubility and Rf values on TLC, and more inhibitory to C. gloeosporioides than other fungal pathogens tested.
