To study Antimicrobial activities of wool and silk dyed by Impatiens balsamina extract with concentraion and times of dyeing, its leaf and stem was extracted by water. Wool and silk dyed by extracts were their microbial inhibition activities against Staphylococcus aureus KCTC 1928. The more concentration, The more times of dyeing their microbial inhibition activities were increased. Fabrics dyed by leaf estracts were higher microbial inhibition activities than fabrics dyed by stem extracts. Silk dyed by the leaf and stem extracts were higher microbial inhibition activities than wool dyed by the leaf and stem extracts. the more dye uptake, microbial inhibition activities of dyed fabrics were incresed.

Some pharmacological activities of acanthoic acid, isolated from Acanthopanax koreanum root was investigated in animals. It is revealed that the compound had analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities without actions on central nervous system and showed inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The anti-inflammatory activity might be related to inhibition of prostaglandin E$_2$ synthesis in exudates of inflammation.

본 연구에서는 복숭아 유과 씨의 품종에 따른 총 폴리페놀 함량과 항산화능, tyrosinase 저해활성 및 elastase 저해활성을 알아보고자 하였으며 폴리페놀 화합물과 총 항산화력 과의 상관관계를 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 품종별 복숭아 유과씨의 추출수율을 관찰한 결과, 몽부사에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 5.20~6.16%의 수율을 갖는 것으로 관찰되었다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 18.33~27.08 mg/g의 함량을 나타내었으며, DPPH 및 ABTS radical 소거능에서 천중도의 radical 소거능이 가장 높게 나타났다. Tyrosinase 저해활성에서는 용택골드, 천중도백도에서 높은 tyrosinase 저해능을 보였으나, elastase 저해활성에서는 마도카에서 다른 품종에 비해 유의적으로 높은 elastase 저해능을 보였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량과 항산화활성과 높은 상관관계를 가졌으며 항산화능과 tyrosinase 저해활성 또한 비교적 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과에 따라 복숭아 유과 씨는 항노화, 미백, 주름방지로 화장품 산업에서 천연 물질로 잠재적인 기능성을 가지고 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Solvent extracts of 17 plants collected in Cheju Island were investigated for their biological properties related to cosmeceuticals such as tyrosinase and hyaluronidase inhibition and also radical scavenging effects. The chloroform fraction of Phytolacca esculenta root exhibited strong inhibition against tyrosinase activity. No fraction showed significant hyaluronidase inhibition. Some solvent extracts of plants such as Achyranthes japonica and Artemisia princeps showed considerable radical scavenging activities.

Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) on the inhibition activities by oleanolic acid analogues (1-19) as a potent inhibitor against protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B were studied quantitatively using 2D-QSAR and HQSAR methodologies. The inhibition activity was dependent on the variations of $R_{4-}$substituent, and as shown in 2D-QSAR model ($r^2=0.928$), it has a tendency to increase as the negative Randic Indice (RI) goes up. The size of the molecular fragments used in HQSAR varied from five to eight. The fragment distinctions had the best statistic value, whose predictability is $q^2=0.785$ and correlation coefficient is $r^2=0.970$, on condition of connections. From the atomic contribution maps, the factor that contributes to the inhibition activities is the $C_{15}{\sim}C_{17}$ bond in the D ring. From the analysis result of these two the models, the structural distinctions and descriptors that contribute to the inhibition activities were obtained.

To examine the possibility of using thiacremonone isolated from high-temperature-high-pressure treated garlic, this study investigated the physiological activities properties. The $IC_{50}$ values of hydroxyl, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide radical scavenging activities of thiacremonone were 92.50, 65.05, 12.60, and $81.53{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. On the other hand, the activities of vitamin C were 104.93, 99.43, 42.42, and $122.64{\mu}g/mL$, and the activities of butylated hydroxyanisole were 37.22, 68.45, 22.47, and $40.54{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ value of ACE inhibition activities of thiacremonone and captoprill were 0.265 and $0.036{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ value of xanthine oxidase inhibition activities of thiacremonone and allopurinol were 39.430 and $9.346{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ value of tyrosinase inhibition activities of thiacremonone and kojic acid were 101.931 and $65.648{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

Two peptides, MA-inv AND MA-ME, with the sequence 10-17 of maganin 2 at their-N-termini were designed and synthesized. The peptides had higher antifungal activities against Aspergilus fumigatus without hemolytic activities. The minimal inhibition concentratory (MIC) values of both peptides against A. fumigatus were 5 .mu.g/ml, whereas those of the native peptides, magainin 2 and melittin, were 10.mu.g/ml. At 3 .mu.g/ml, MA-inv and MA-ME inhibited the mycelium growth of A. fumigatus by 94.6% and 97.3% respectively, whereas magainin 2 and melittin inhibited by 62.2% and 32.4, respectively. MA-inv showed up to 80% inhibition of (1, 3)-.betha.-D-glucan synthase activity of A. fumigatus. The peptides also showed up to 80% inhibition of (1, 3)-.betha.-D glucan synthase activity of A. fumigatus. The peptides also showed antifungal activities for other fungi of Aspergillus sp. However, the antibiotic activities of MA-ME against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Fusarium oxysporum were more effective than those of MA-inv, suggesting that the C-terminal sequences of MA-inv and MA-ME may also influence their antibiotic activities. These results suggest that the N-terminal sequence of the designed peptides, KKFGKAFV, is important for their antifungal activities against A. fumigatus and their C- terminal sequences are related to the organism selectivity.

A commercial propolis was investigated in terms of its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities. The contents of total phenol and flavonoid of propolis were 8.3 and 6.6 mg, respectively. The reducing power of the propolis increased with concentration increasing. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was shown at 82.70% in 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$ of the propolis. 2,2'-Azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging effect of antioxidant activity on the propolis was 35.64 g/sample. The propolis showed high antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus at all concentration of propolis. All of the cancer cell lines have 53-73% as effective growth inhibition. These results showed that the commercial propolis has potential antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cancer cell proliferative inhibition activities thus, propolis can be applied to the functional food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry.

예천산 프로폴리스는 ethanol과 butanol 분획물이 S.typhimurium과 B. subtilis에 강한 항미생물 활성을 보였으며, 용매별로는 butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform 분획물의 순이었다. C. utilis와 A. niger에는 모든 분획물이 항균활성을 나타내지 않았다. 농도별 균생육 억제 시험 결과, E. coli의 경우 예천산은 0.4mg/ml에서 초기에 균증식이 억제되었으며 영월은 0.25mg/ml에서 12시간 이후 균증식이 완전히 억제되었다. S. aureus의 경우, 영월과 예천산 프로폴리스가 0.25와 0.30mg/ml에서 완전히 균증식을 억제시켰다. P. aeruginosa의 경우, 예천산 프로폴리스는 0.20mg/ml에서 12시간 이후 균생장 억제를 보였으며, 영월산 프로폴리스는 0.20mg/ml에서 균생장이 완전히 억제되었다.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate anti-oxidative, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory activities of Zingiber officinale Roscoe water (ZD) and 50% ethanol extracts (ZE). Method : The antioxidant capacity of ZD or ZE was analyzed by DPPH, ABTS scavenging activities and reducing power, respectively. The anti-aging efficacy was performed with tyrosinase and collagenase inhibition activities. The anti-inflammatory activities were confirmed through inhibition of nitric oxide production and TNF-�� expression in LPS-treated Raw 264.7 cells. Result : As a result of measuring DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, both ZD and ZE extracts increased in concentration-dependent manners. The ABTS radical scavenging activities of water and 50% ethanol extract were similar to that of positive control at high concentration. On reducing power, both ZD and ZE showed higher activities than the positive control at high concentration. On inhibition activities of tyrosinase and collagenase both ZD and ZE showed the large inhibition rates at low concentration. Also, the inhibitory efficacy of ZD on NO and TNF-�� production was better than ZE in RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusion : These results suggest that ZD and ZE have anti-oxidative, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. Especially, ZD was more effective than ZE. Thus, Ginger extract is considered to be highly useful as a cosmetic or food material with anti-oxidative, anti-aging (prevention of whitening and wrinkle) and anti-inflammatory effects. Also these effects may vary depending on the extraction solvent.
