A new furofuran lignan (1) was isolated from the n-butanol fraction of the methanolic extract of the leaves of Petasites japonicus (Sieb. et Zucc.) Maxim. (Compositae). The structure of compound 1 was determined to be $2{\alpha}-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-6{\alpha}-(4"-hydroxy-3"-methox­yphenyl)-8{\alpha}-hydroxy-3, 7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane\;4'-O-({\beta}-D-glucopyranoside)$ by spectroscopic methods including 2D-NMR. In further studies, it was found that the compound 1 expressed an antioxidant activity in DPPH radical scavenging assay, and moreover, ameliorated the seizure in kainic acid-treated mice.

Several commercial yogurt starter cultures (L. acidophilus LA5, L. casei 01, L. acidophilus LA100, L. bulgaricus LB207 and L. rhamnosus GG744) were investigated for antioxidant activity by using in vitro assays. From the results of the present work, all strains tested showed varying degrees of antioxidant activity. L. bulgaricus LB207 showed the highest antioxidant activity, with a linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition of 81.3%. Hydroxy radical scavenging activity, ferrous iron chelating activity, reducing power and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were also studied. L. bulgaricus LB207 showed the highest hydroxy radical scavenging activity and L. casei 01 showed the highest chelating activity. L. bulgaricus LB207 and L. acidophilus LA100 showed good reducing power. All the strains in this study showed low SOD activity. The results of the present work suggest that antioxidant activity of L. bulgaricus LB207 due to its strong hydroxy radical scavenging activity and reducing power.

Antioxidant activity of Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonatum stenophyllum, Angelica gigas, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens extracts cultivated in Jecheon prepared with different solvents were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrzyl(DPPH) radical scarvenging ability and thiocyanate method . The highest hydroxy radical scarvenging activity was shown in Acanthopanax sessiliflorus, while the lowest was in Polygonatum stenophyllum. Angelica gigas showed strong antioxidant activity by thiocyanate method. Methanol extracts and water extracts showed higher antioxidant activities than ethanol extracts. Angelica pubescens showed the highest polyphenol contents and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus showed the highest flavonoid contents. Direct correlation between the hydroxy radical scavenging activity and polyphenol contents or flavonoid contents was established by simple regression(r>0.8) in each solvent extracts. Among medicinal plants cultivated in Jecheon, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens showed strong antioxidant activities. These results suggest that methanol or water extracts of several medicinal plant cultivated in Jecheon could be used as natural antioxidants.

Actinobacteria are prolific producers of a large number of natural products with diverse biological activities. In the present study, an actinobacterium isolated from sunflower rhizosphere soil sample collected from Medak, Andhra Pradesh, South India was identified as Amycolatopsis thermoflava strain SFMA-103. A pigmented secondary metabolite in culture broth was extracted by using methanol and it was further purified by silica gel column chromatography with methanol-chloroform solvent system. Structural elucidation studies based on UV-visible, 1D and 2D-NMR, FT-IR, and mass spectroscopic analyses confirmed the structure as 1-methoxy-3-methyl-8-hydroxy-anthraquinone. It showed significant in vitro anticancer activity against lung cancer and lymphoblastic leukemia cells with $IC_{50}$ values of 10.3 and $16.98{\mu}M$, respectively. In addition, 1-methoxy-3-methyl-8-hydroxy-anthraquinone showed good free radical scavenging activity by DPPH method with an $EC_{50}$ of $18.2{\mu}g/ml$. It also showed other promising superoxide radical scavenging, nitric oxide radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation activities. This is a first report of anti-proliferative and antioxidant activities of 1-methoxy-3-methyl-8-hydroxy-anthraquinone isolated from A. thermoflava strain SFMA-103 which may find potential application in biotechnological and pharmaceutical fields.

The ethanolic extract of chestnut (Castanea crenata S. et Z., Fagaceae) inner shell (CISE) and one of its components, ellagic acid (EA), were evaluated for their protective effects against 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazine (DPPH) free radical generation and hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative DNA damage in a mammalian cell line. CISE and EA were shown to possess the free radical scavenging effect against DPPH radical generation, significantly. They were also found to strongly inhibit hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage from Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cell, assessed by single cell gel electrophoresis assay and 8-hydroxy -2'-deoxy guanosine (8-OH-2'dG) assay. Furthermore, topical application of CISE [$12.5\%$(w/w) cream] and ellagic acid [$1.0\%$(w/w) cream] for 14 days potently inhibited malondialdehyde (MDA) formation of mouse dorsal skin (a marker of lipid peroxidation) induced by ultraviolet B exposure. Therefore, CISE and its component, ellagic acid, may be the useful natural antioxidants by scavenging free radicals, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and protecting oxidative DNA damage when topically applied.

This study was conducted to improve the antioxidative activity of instant noodles containing enzymatic extracts from Ecklonia cava (EEC). EEC has relatively better antioxidative activity than extracts from other indigenous plants in Jeju Island. The EEC (2.5 mg/mL) had 82.5% for the hydroxy radical, 78.4% for the DPPH radical, and 64.9% for the superoxide anion radical scavenging activities, and 65.2% for the cell viability (100 ${\mu}g/mL$). According to the texture of the dough, the DPPH free radical scavenging of uncooked instant noodles, sensory evaluation of cooked instant noodles, and turbidity of the cooking drip, the optimal EEC concentration was 1.8% for the instant noodles. The major amino acids in the instant noodles with EEC were glutamic acid (24.2%), proline (10.2%), valine (10.0%), and isoleucine (12.3%). The zinc and iron in the instant noodles were enhanced by adding 1.5-1.8% EEC. The antioxidant activity of instant noodles with EEC was 75.4% for the hydroxy radical, 74.1% for the DPPH radical, and 51.2 % for the superoxide anion radical scavenging activities.

본 실험에는 강원도의 대표적인 갈조류로 재래종다시마, 괭생이모자반, 그리고 수심이 비교적 깊은 곳에 식생하는 곰피와 구멍쇠미역, 녹조에 속하는 고리매, 우리나라 국민이 가장 많이 소비하고 있는 해조이면서 홍조류에 속하는 김과 동해안 특산 홍조류이며 지역민들이 즐겨 먹고 있는 지누아리의 해조 7종이 사용되었다. 이 7종의 해조로부터 75% 메탄올로 상온에서 추출하여 얻어진 추출물을 용매를 완전히 제거한 후 다시 메탄올에 용해하는 메탄올 가용성 분획(SF)과 메탄올에 녹지 않지만 물에 용해하는 극성이 강한 성질의 불용성 분획(ISF)으로 분리하여 각 분획의 함량을 측정하였으며 DPPH를 이용한 전자공여능과 hydroxy radical 소거능을 측정하여 항산화효과를 분석하였다. 메탄올 가용성 분획은 구멍쇠미역, 고리매, 괭생이모지반이 $26.60{\sim}23.40%$로 높았으며 재래종다시마와 김이 9.26%와 8.66%로 낮았다. 메탄올 불용성이며 수용성 분획은 재래종다시마와 김에서 29.70%와 21.01%로 가장 높았으며 그 외의 해조에서는 지누아리 8.76%, 곰피 6.46%, 고리매 4.87%, 구멍쇠미역 2.05%, 괭생이모자반 1.95%로 아주 낮았다. DPPH를 이용한 전자공여능 평가와 hydroxy radical 소거능 평가에서 메탄올 가용성 분획이 높은 해조, 즉 구멍쇠미역과 괭생이모자반에서 우수한 항산화효과를 보였으며 이와 같은 평가결과는 총페놀 함량이 높은 것과 잘 일치하였다. 갈조류인 곰피는 전자공여능은 우수한 것으로 평가되었으나 hydroxy radical 소거능은 나타나지 않았다. 메탄올 추출물에서 재용해하지 않는 메탄올 불용성 분획은 실험에 사용된 7종의 해조 모두에서 총페놀이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며 전자공여능과 hydroxy radical 소거능 평가에서 효과를 전혀 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 해조의 항산화효과는 메탄올에 용해하는 성분이 강한 항산화효과를 지니는 것으로 나타났으며 이 효과는 페놀 화합물과 관련이 깊은 것으로 사료된다.

DPPH radical 제거활성은 잔가지를 제외한 부위에서 에탄올 추출물보다 물 추출물이 높은 활성을 보였고, 특이적으로 에탄올을 용매로 한 잔가지 추출물의 $IC_{50}$이 23.58${\pm}$0.84%로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. SOD 유사활성능은 물 추출물보다 에탄올 추출물이 높았으며, 그 중 잔가지의 에탄올 추출물이 35.03${\pm}$2.33%의 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Hydroxy radical scavenging 활성은 에탄올 추출물이 물 추출물에 비해 2배 이상의 높은 활성을 보였고, 그 중 뿌리 부위의 에탄올 추출물이 66.12${\pm}$8.73%의 높은 활성을 보였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 비타민나무 추출물의 영양학적 가치와 항산화활성을 확인하였고, 그로 인한 기능성소재로써의 개발이 가능할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
