Insampaedok-san is a traditional medicine used for the treatment of colds. We investigated several compounds in Insampeadok-san, and tested their neuroprotective and anti-oxidative activities after fermentation with Lactobacillus. The amounts of four marker compounds (ferulic acid, hesperidin, 6-gingerol and glycyrrhizin) and unidentified compounds in Insampaedok-san (IS) and fermented Insampaedok-san (FIS) were measured and compared by an established HPLC-DAD method. Neuroprotective activity of IS and FIS extracts was evaluated and compared after glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in HT22 cells. Anti-oxidative activity of IS and FIS was also compared in DPPH free radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity assays. Contents of two compounds, ferulic acid and glycyrrhizin were decreased while 6-gingerol was increased by fermentation. FIS showed more potent neuroprotective activity than IS. DPPH, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging was slightly increased by FIS when compared to IS. In conclusion, fermentation with Lactobacillus can vary the amounts of the marker compounds in IS and improve neuroprotective and anti-oxidative activities of IS.

The ethanol extract of peony root (Paeonia Lactiflora Pall, Paeoniaceae) and its major active components including gallic acid and methyl gallate were evaluated for their protective effects against free radical generation and lipid peroxidation. And protective effects against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative DNA damage in a mammalian cell line were performed. The ethanol extract of peony root (PRE), gallic acid and methyl gallate were shown to possess the significant free radical scavenging effect against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazine (DPPH) radical generation and were revealed the inhibitory effect of lipid peroxidation as expressed by malondialdehyde (MDA) formation. They were also found to strongly inhibit hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage from NIH/3T3 fibroblasts, assessed by single cell gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, oral administration of 50% PRE (50% ethanol extract), gallic acid and methyl gallate potently inhibited micronucleated reticulocyte (MNRET) formation of mouse peripheral blood induced by KBrO3 treatment in vivo. Therefore, PRE containing gallic acid and methyl gallate may be a useful natural antioxidant by scavenging free radicals, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and protecting oxidative DNA damage.

This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant activity of extracts of black Panax ginseng (BGE) and its crude saponin (BGECS). The antioxidant activities of BGE and BGECS were evaluated for free radical scavenging activity against stable free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) DPPH, nitrite, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide. In addition, the antioxidant activity of BGE and BGECS against peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrites were determined by the total oxy-radical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay. As a result, BGE and BGECS were found to have a strong inhibitory activity with >90% against the DPPH radical at $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentrations. Also, BGE and BGECS exhibited strong inhibitory activity with >80% against hydrogen peroxide at lower concentration ($125{\mu}g/m{\ell}$). Moreover, specific TOSC values (405 and 473 TOSC/mM) of BGE and BGECS against peroxynitrites were higher than GSH (347 TOSC/mM) used a positive control. These results suggest that BGE and BGECS could be useful to develop functional foods against disease related oxidative stress.

A Study on the effect of the additives in lubricating oil was investigated on the basis of the thermal activated wear theory in terms of their wear behaviours, using four ballwear machine. The sample oils, which included diethyl-3, 5-di-t-butyi-4-hydroxy-benzyl phosphonate (DEP), ZDDP and TCP additives respectively, showed distinct wear characteristics depending upon the bulk oil temperature and the sliding velocity. The newly synthesized additive, viz., DEP showed excellent antiwear performance cornpared with the conventional additives, ZDDP and TCP. On the basis of the experimental results, it is reduced that the wear mechanism of the conventional additives, viz., ZDDP and TCP is the protective film formation and their antiwear capability is depending upon the shearing strength of the film formed. On the other hand, the new additive, DEP showed that the secondary activation energy was much eliminated and so, the thermal instability was reduced by the hydrogen scavenging reaction of the new additive, which was virtually an endothermic reaction process.In conclusion, a new concept of antiwear mechanism is estabilished and testified. And new chemical, which showed the function of hydrogen and free radical scavenging role, is synthesized and introduced as the new, highly antiwear effective lubricating oil additive.

In this paper, we studied the anti-oxidative capacities and protective effects of water extract of Gagam-Danguieumja(GDE) against Ultraviolet B(UVB)-induced oxidative damage in human keratinocytes(HaCaT). To evaluate the anti-oxidative activities of GDE, we measured scavenging activities on DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation and reducing power of GDE. To detect the protective effects of GDE against UVB, we irradiated with 40 mJ/㎠`s UVB to HaCaT cells then we measured reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation, apoptotic bodies and cell viability using DCFH-DA assay, Hoechst 33342 staining and MTT assay. GDE showed the anti-oxidative activities by scavenging DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation. Also GDE showed high reducing values. GDE reduced oxidative stress conditions by inhibition of ROS expression. Also the cell apoptosis by UVB-induced oxidative conditions was decreased by GDE treatment. These results could suggest that GDE had anti-oxidative activities and exhibited protective effects against UVB on HaCaT cells. GDE would be useful for the development of cosmetics treating UVB-induced skin aging.

In our present study, total methanol extracts prepared from B. platyphylla var. japonica showed a significant increase in cell proliferation upon the induction of oxidative stress by hydrogen peroxide or $\gamma$-ray irradiation. Total methanol extracts were fractionated into five separate preparations i.e. n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, n-butanol and water fractions. Among these, the ethylacetate and butanol fractions of B. platyphylla var. japonica showed the highest protective effects against oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide. These fractions also showed strong protective effects against $\gamma$-ray irradiation. When we evaluated the cytotoxicity of these fractions, the butanol fraction showed no effects in a colony formation assay. In addition, the butanol fraction showed a cell proliferation activation effect evidenced by significant increase in the colony formation of $\gamma$-ray irradiated cells. Both a radical scavenging activity and clonogenic activity assay suggested that the mechanism behind this protective effect against reactive oxygen species may be due to the radical scavenging and cell proliferation activity of B. platyphylla var. japonica extracts.

An antioxidant was isolated from Korean mistletoe (Viscum album var. coloratum) by consecutive purification using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and RP-HPLC. The active principle was identified as homo-flavoyadorinin-B (3',7-dimethoxyluteolin-4'-O-[apiosyl $(1{\rightarrow}2)$ glucoside]) by spectral analyses. It inhibited 74.6% of hydroxyl radical and 30.6% of superoxide anion radical at 0.01 mM; however, th~compound did not show any scavenging activity against hydrogen peroxide radical. At 0.1 mM, above compound scavenged superoxide anion radical about twice as effective as positive controls, BHT and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Radical scavenging activities of homo-flavoyadorinin-B on DPPH, hydroxyl, and hydrogen peroxide radicals were almost same with those of positive controls.

Hydroxyl radical 소거능에서는 80% MeOH 추출물에서 73.58%로 가장 높았고, 100% MeOH 추출물에서 66.65%로 가장 낮은 활성이었다. Hydrogen radical 소거능 또한 80% MeOH에서 35.40%로 가장 높은 활성을 보였고, 100% MeOH 추출물에서 11.70%로 가장 낮은 활성을 나타내었다. 본 실험 결과 아직 초기 단계에 불과하지만 구기엽의 항산화 활성 검토에서 80% MeOH 추출물에서 가장 높은 활성을 보여 구기엽 추출물의 기능성 소재로 개발 가능성이 시사되었다.

본 연구는 9월과 11월에 수확한 영귤 미성숙과와 성숙과의 항산화 및 항당뇨 활성을 비교하였다. 총 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드 및 카로티노이드 함량을 분석한 결과 모두 성숙과의 함량이 높았다. 항산화 활성을 DPPH radical, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide 소거능, 금속 결합능 및 환원력으로 평가하고 이를 EC₅₀으로 나타낸 결과 금속 결합능을 제외하고 성숙과의 활성이 유의적으로 높았다. α-Glucosidase 저해 활성을 통해 항당뇨 활성을 확인한 결과 성숙과가 높은 저해도를 나타내었다. 이를 통해 출하 시기를 놓친 영귤 성숙과도 건강기능식품 및 의약품 소재로 개발 가능성이 있다고 판단되며 이를 활용하기 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.
