본 연구는 반추동물에 있어서 결명자, 계피, 산초 및 감초 등의 한약재 추출물의 첨가가 메탄생성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. In vitro 반추위 발효기질로는 대두박을 사용하였으며, 한약재 추출물 첨가수준은 기질의 10%로 하여 시간대별(0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 hr)로 $39^{\circ}C$에서 발효시켰다. In vitro 반추위 배양액의 pH는 6.46~6.89 수준으로서 시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하는 경향이었다. 총 가스발생량은 감초, 산초, 계피, 결명자 처리구 순으로 감초 추출물 첨가구에서 가장 많았으며, 모든 한약재 추출물 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으로 많았다. 메탄생성 비율은 3시간 발효 시, 감초 추출물 처리구가 타 처리구에 비해 낮았으나 시간이 경과함에 따라 비율이 오히려 높아졌으며, 한약재 추출물 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 수소가스의 생성비율은 6시간 발효 시까지는 처리구간에 차이가 없었으나 12시간 발효 시에는 한약재 추출물 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으로 높게 나타났다. 암모니아 생성량은 발효 3시간대에는 산초 추출물 첨가구와 감초추출물 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 높았으나, 발효 12시간대에는 감초 추출물 첨가구가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 본 시험에 사용된 한약재 추출물은 가스 생성량을 비롯한 메탄 생성량을 증가시키고, 메탄 발효를 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다.

피부미백효과 및 항산화물질로 알려진 glabridin은 감초뿌리 (Glycyrrhiza glabra)에 포함되어 있는 성분으로서 추출 및 HPLC에 의한 분리에 관한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 용매에 따른 추출정도를 알기위하여 메탄올, 에탄올, 에틸아세테이트 및 아세톤 등 4가지 용매로 1시간동안 초음파 추출하여 HPLC에서 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 에틸아세테이트의 추출용매가 1260.0 mg/kg으로 가장 함량이 높았으며, 에탄올, 메탄올, 아세톤 순으로 나타났다. HPLC의 역상 컬럼에서 이동상의 조성을 아세토나이트릴/물 (50/50, vol. %)으로 사용했을 때 체류시간은 20.3분이였으며, 에틸아세테이트로 추출한 시험용액을 LC/MS로 확인하였다.

Licorice(Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) is recorded as the root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer or Glycyrrhiza glabra Linne or Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat.(Leguminosae) in Korean Pharmacopoeia $9^{th}$ edition (KP9) and Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2005(CP2005), Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer or Glycyrrhiza glabra Linne in Japanese Pharmacopoeia 2005(JP2005). It is established the content standard of Glycyrrhizin 2.5 % and liquiritin 1% in KP9 and CP2005. But, according to the reports, all Licorice species were not sufficient for content standard of liquiritin 1.0% for licorice in KP9 and CP2005. It shows different content of liquiritin among G. uralensis, G. glabra and G. inflata. Also, it was reported liquiritin, liquiritin apioside are transformed into liquiritigenin by human internal flora. Therefore, we have studied for the pre-treatment condition and analytical method of liquiritigenin; It was good efficinet in 2M HCl reflux(1 hr) for hydrolysis and in methylene chloride for solvent fractionation. And 1% acetic acid in DW(A) and acetonitrile(B) with gradient condition as a mobile phase was most effective in HPLC analytical condition. According to these experimental methods, we have anlayzed content of liquiritigenin about 77 Licorice sample. In this research, it was also examined the content of liquiritin and liquiritigenin for Glycyrrhizae Radix related growing area. According to the results, we suggested the content standard of glycyrrhizin more than 2.5%, liquiritigenin more than 0.7%(after hydrolysis) of licorice.

본 연구에서는 한방재료인 감초에서 항균력을 가지는 유효물질을 얻기 위해 추출 조건을 최적화한 후 최적 추출물의 항균 활성과 안정성을 조사하였다. 추출용매를 선정한 후 용매의 농도, 추출 온도, 추출 시간 등을 결정하였다. 감초를 서로 다른 극성을 가진 물, 메탄올, 에탄올, 아세톤, 에틸 아세테이트, 헥산 등의 용매로 추출한 후 항균 활성을 조사함으로써 에탄올을 최적 추출 용매로 선정할 수 있었다. 에탄올 농도별로 추출하였을 때는 무수에탄올일 때 항균 활성이 가장 높았으나 95% 농도와는 유의한 차를 보이지 않았으므로 비용을 고려하여 추출 용매는 95% 에탄올로 선택하였다. 95% 에탄올로 감초를 추출할 때 상온에서 12시간 추출하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 조사되었다. 이후 14종의 Gram(+) 세균, Gram(-) 세균, 효모 등을 이용하여 추출물의 항균활성을 조사하였다. 여러 미생물에 대한 최소 억제 농도(Minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC)는 Gram(-) 세균은 $250{\mu}g/mL$, Gram(+) 세균은 $25{\mu}g/mL$ 이였고 효모는 $50-500{\mu}g/mL$으로 조사 되어, Gram(+) 세균에 대한 탁월한 항균활성을 가졌다. 추출물을 열과 pH 처리한 후 항균활성이 감소하지 않고 잘 유지되는 것으로 보아 상기의 추출물은 열과 pH에는 비교적 안정하다고 판단된다. 감초 에탄올 추출물은 여러 미생물에 대한 항균활성을 가지며 열과 pH 에 대해서도 안정하므로 식품의 천연보존료로서 사용이 가능하리라 사료된다.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal dose of gamma-ray on the growth and nucleus DNA damage for mutation breeding in licorice. Gamma-rays irradiated to dry seeds with various doses (0 to 1000 Gy). Significant decreases in germination rate (%), survival rate (%) and growth characteristics (plant height, number of leaves, root length and fresh weight) were observed by dose of increased. $LD_{50}$ (lethal dose) was approximately 400 Gy to 500 Gy. Also, reduction doses ($RD_{50}$) of plant height, number of leaves, root length and flash weight were 428 Gy, 760 Gy, 363 Gy and 334 Gy, respectively. It is supplest that the optimal dose of gamma irradiation for licorice mutation induction might be about 400 Gy in this study. We also conducted comet assay to observe nucleus DNA damage due to gamma irradiation. In comet assay, a clear difference was identified over 300 Gy treatments. With increasing doses of gamma-ray in the range of 100 to 1000 Gy, the rate of head DNA was decreased significantly from 92.88% to 73.09%. Tail length(${\mu}m$) was increased as the dose of increased over 300 Gy. Growth characteristics (Germination rate, Survival rate, plant height, number of leaves, root length and fresh weight) were highly negatively ($P{\leq}0.01$) correlated with dose. While the tail length was highly positively ($P{\leq}0.01$) correlated with dose.

Menthol (M) is a cyclic monoterpenode and is a major component of essential oils. Menthol, along with menthol, isomenton, etc., gives taste and odor of the mint plant, and when it comes to menthol in general, L- or (-) -menthol is usually used. Included in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and pesticides. It has antimicrobial, antibacterial, antioxidant properties. It is also known that the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Glabra L.) differs from other types of plants by its medicinal properties. For many years it has been used in folk medicine. Extraction of licorice root revealed up to 25% glycyrrhizinic acid (GA). Its aglycone - glycyrrhizic acid is notable for its structural similarity to the adrenal cortex hormones. Currently, GA and glycyrrhizic acid are widely used in medicine as a remedy for colds, allergies, viral diseases, tumors. The biological activity of menthol and GA-based supramolecular compounds has been poorly studied, and their effect on the functional parameters of rat liver mitochondria has been studied little. For this purpose, in our experiments, the effect of menthol (M), glycyrrhizinic acid (GA) and their supramolecular complexes obtained in different proportions on in vitro and in vivo studies on rat liver mitochondria was studied.

In this study, we prepared CheonJeongKiBo-Dan(7 oriental medicinal plants, 7OMP: Astragalus Membranaceus root, Panax Ginseng root, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (licorice) root, Schizandra Chinensis fruit, Polygonatum Odoratum, Rehmannia Glutinosa root, Paeonia Albiflora root) by extracting them in one reactor and studied its efficacies on skin. UV irradiation has been suggested as a major cause of photoaging in skin. In order to investigate protective effects against UV-B induced cellular damage, 7OMP was extracted with 70% ethanol and dissolved in DMSO. The protective effect was detected by MTT assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, phosphorylation of ATR and p53 in human dermal fibroblast cell system after UV-B irradiation. 7OMP reduced UV-B-induced cellular damage in HDFs cells, and inhibited ROS generation. UV-B-induced toxicity accompanying ROS production and the resultant DNA damage are responsible for activation of ATR, p53 and Bad. In this study, 7OMP hampered phosphorylations of ATR and p53 in human dermal fibroblasts. Therefore, 7OMP may be protective against UV-induced skin photoaging.

Hair loss affects both men and women of all ages and often significantly affects social and psychologic health. Recent therapeutic approach for hair loss such as finasteride and minoxidil focused on regulation of hormonal system blood flow. However, long-term use of these drugs caused adverse effects. To develop herbal medicine for therapeutic effect on hair growth, here we screened the 10 medicinal herbs (Red ginseng, Licorice, Ulmus, Barberry root, Lycium root, Rehmanniae radix crudus, Sophora root, Sweet flag, Polygala root, Achyranthes) based on oriental medicine literature. We measured cytotoxicity, anti-oxidant activity, and $5-{\alpha}$ reductase inhibitory effect of the herbal medicine on human dermal papilla (DP) cells to investigate therapeutic effect of the herbal medicine. Treatment of the 1% herbal medicine did not show any cytotoxic effects, and cell growth was increased by treatment of the 0.1% herbal medicine. In addition, the herbal medicine showed stronger antioxidant activity than resveratrol and comparable inhibitory activity of $5-{\alpha}$ reductase with finasteride. Furthermore, when applied to in vivo mouse model, we also observed increases in the number and length of hair of the herbal medicine-treated group. These results suggest that the herbal medicine promotes hair growth by its antioxidant activity and inhibitory activity of $5-{\alpha}$ reductase and might therefore be a promising hair growth-promoting agent.
