Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin used as a skin conditioning agent and promotes the formation of intercellular lipid layers through increased lipid synthesis, which improves the skin's natural barrier function. The anti-inflammatory effects of biotin have been investigated using in vitro assay models, such as MTT assay, measurements of concentrations of nitric oxide(NO), prostaglandin E2(PGE$_2$), and inhibition rate of 5-lipoxygenase(5-LOX). In comparison with biotin, other plant extracts were tested at the same time which were kudzu vine extract, sage extract, paeonia extract, and dipotassium glycyrrhetinate. Nitric oxide is a signal molecule with functions such as neurotransmission, local vascular relaxation, and anti-inflammation in many physiological and pathological processes. NO can cause apoptosis and necrosis of target cells such as keratinocytes and is generated from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Prostanoids, including prostaglandins and thromboxanes, are generated by the phospholipase $A_2$/cyclooxygenase(COX) pathway, and leukotrienes are generated by the 5-lipoxygenase pathway from arachidonic acid. Prostaglandin E2 recently have been shown to be beneficial in the resolution of tissue injury and inflammation, also has been implicated as an immunosuppressive agent and plasma levels of PGE$_2$ are elevated in patients sustaining thermal injury. Lipoxygenase metabolites from arachidonic acid have been implicated in inflammation, anti-inflammatory activity of the raw materials was evaluated in vitro by the offered inhibition of lipoxygenase.

고구마뿌리에 비하여 많은 양이 폐기되는 고구마 줄기와 잎의 이용을 활성화시키고 기능성식품 소재로의 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 잎이 달려 있는 보라색 고구마줄기를 재래시장에서 구입하여 고구마잎(SL), 고구마줄기(ST), 껍질 제거한 고구마줄기(PST)의 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정하고, in vitro 시스템에서의 항산화효과, 항알레르기 및 항염증효과를 검색하고자 하였다. 고구마잎은 데치고, 고구마줄기는 생으로 동결건조한 후 에탄올 추출물을 얻어 실험하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 SL(11.03 mg tannic acid/g)> ST(0.87 mg tannic acid/g)> PST(0.37 mg tannic acid/g)이었고, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 SL(9.01 mg rutin/g)> ST(0.50 mg rutin/g)> PST(0.25 mg rutin/g)이었다(p<0.001). DPPH 라디칼을 50% 제거시키는 에탄올 추출물의 농도($IC_{50}$)는 SL($43.6{\mu}g/mL$)< ST($308.4{\mu}g/mL$)$1,631.3{\mu}g/mL$)로 고구마잎이 가장 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. 양성대조시약으로 사용한 BHA의 $IC_{50}$값은 $8.30{\mu}g/mL$이었으며, 처리 농도 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$에서의 환원력은 SL($59.72{\mu}g$ ascorbic acid eq./mL)> ST($12.56{\mu}g$ ascorbic acid eq./mL)> PST($2.18{\mu}g$ ascorbic acid eq./mL)로 고구마잎이 가장 좋았다(p<0.001). 한편 염증반응에 관여하는 xanthine oxidase(XO) 활성저해율을 측정한 결과 처리 농도 $250{\mu}g/mL$에서 SL(13.06%)> ST(5.05%)> PST(0.0%)로 고구마잎이 줄기에 비하여 우수하였으며(p<0.01), 처리 농도 $50{\mu}g/mL$에서의 5-lipoxygenase(LOX) 활성저해율은 SL(91.16%)> ST(33.38%)> PST(14.93%)로(p<0.001) 고구마잎의 효과는 양성대조시약인 EGCG의 저해율(94.42%)과 비슷한 정도로 매우 우수하였다. 또한 $250{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 처리 시 cyclooxygenase(COX)-2 활성저해율은 SL(55.34%)> ST(2.18%)> PST(0.0%)로 XO 활성저해율과 비슷한 패턴을 보였다(p<0.001). 측정변수들 간의 상관관계를 분석해 본 결과 총 폴리페놀 함량은 플라보노이드 함량($r^2$=0.9988, p<0.001), 환원력($r^2$=0.9982, p<0.001), XO 활성저해율($r^2$=0.8322, p<0.05), COX-2 활성저해율($r^2$=0.9950, p<0.001), 5-LOX 활성저해율과 양의 상관관계($r^2$=0.9823, p<0.001)를 나타내었으며, 플라보노이드 함량은 환원력($r^2$=0.9946, p<0.001), XO 활성저해율($r^2$=0.8392, p<0.05), 5-LOX 활성저해율($r^2$=0.9749, p<0.01), COX-2 활성저해율과 유의한 양의 상관관계($r^2$=0.9937, p<0.001)를 보였다. 또한, 환원력은 XO 활성 저해율($r^2$=0.8384, p<0.05), 5-LOX 활성저해율($r^2$=0.9883, p<0.001) 및 COX-2 활성저해율과 유의한 양의 상관관계($r^2$=0.9954, p<0.001)를 나타내었으며, XO 활성저해율은 5-LOX 활성저해율과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였으나($r^2$=0.8786, p<0.05) COX-2 활성저해율과는 상관성을 보이지 않았다. 5-LOX 활성저해율은 COX-2 활성저해율과 유의한 양의 상관관계($r^2$=0.9815, p<0.01)를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과들로부터 고구마잎은 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량이 매우 높았고 우수한 항산화효과를 보였으며, 알레르기 및 염증반응과 관련이 있는 효소인 XO, 5-LOX 및 COX-2의 활성도 모두 억제하는 효과도 우수하였지만 특히 5-LOX 활성 억제효과는 EGCG와 비슷한 정도로 매우 우수하였다. 따라서 건강을 위하여 고구마잎의 섭취를 증대시킬 수 있는 다양한 방안을 강구할 필요가 있으며, 고구마 줄기를 섭취할 경우에는 가능한 껍질을 모두 섭취하는 것이 좋겠다.

To establish the anti-inflammatory activity of the total flavonoid fraction of the root barks of Broussonetia papyrifera (EBP) and a new formula, the ethanol extract of the root barks of B. papyrifera was fractionated with ethylacetate, yielding the hydrophobic prenylated flavonoid-enriched fraction. EBP and the ethanol extract of the whole Lonicera japonica (ELJ) plant were then mixed at a ratio of 1:1 (w/w) to give a new preparation (BL) in the hope of obtaining an optimal formula with a higher anti-inflammatory activity. Evaluation of the effects of these preparations on A23187-treated rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells revealed that EBP potently inhibited 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), while ELJ showed weak inhibition. Additionally, the mixture (BL) clearly showed stronger inhibitory effects against 5-LOX than either preparation alone. These preparations also inhibited cyclooxygenase-2-catalyzed $PGE_2$ and inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase-catalyzed NO production by lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 cells. When tested against arachidonic acid-induced mouse ear edema, EBP showed strong inhibitory activity at doses of 5-200 mg/kg when administered orally, but BL had obviously stronger inhibitory effects. When tested against ${\lambda}$-carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice, BL showed a potent and synergistic anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, in the acetic acid-induced writhing test, BL was found to have strong analgesic activity at 50-400 mg/kg. Taken together, these results indicate that each of these preparations exert anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. In particular, BL showed stronger anti-inflammatory activity than EBP, and these anti-inflammatory effects were partially related to the inhibition of eicosanoid and NO production. BL may be useful for the treatment of human inflammatory disorders.

The rhizomes of Acorus gramineus have frequently been used in traditional medicine mainly for sedation as well as enhancing brain function. In this study, the anti-allergic activity of A. gramineus was investigated. The 70% ethanol extract of the rhizomes of A. gramineus was found to inhibit the allergic response against 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX)-catalyzed leukotriene (LT) production from rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-1 cells and ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release from RBL-2H3 cells with $IC_{50}$'s of 48.9 and > $200{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Among the 9 major constituents isolated, ${\beta}$-asarone, (2R,3R,4S,5S)-2,4-dimethyl-1,3-bis (2',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)tetrahydrofuran (AF) and 2,3-dihydro-4,5,7-trimethoxy-1-ethyl-2-methyl-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)indene (AI) strongly inhibited 5-LOX-catalyzed LT production in A23187-treated RBL-1 cells, AI being the most potent ($IC_{50}=6.7{\mu}M$). Against ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release by antigen-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells, only AI exhibited strong inhibition ($IC_{50}=7.3{\mu}M$) while ${\beta}$-asarone and AF showed 26.0% and 39.9% inhibition at $50{\mu}M$, respectively. In addition, the ethanol extract of A. gramineus showed significant inhibitory action against the hapten-induced delayed hypersensitivity reaction in mice by oral administration at 200 mg/kg. Therefore, it is suggested that A. gramineus possesses anti-allergic activity and the constituents including ${\beta}$-asarone and AI certainly contribute to the anti-allergic activity of the rhizomes of A. gramineus.

An in vitro bioassay-guide revealed that the methanol (MeOH) extract of the whole plant of Patrinia saniculaefolia (Valerianaceae) showed cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) dual inhibitory activity by assessing their effects on the production of prostaglandin $D_2$ ($PGD_2$) and leukotriene $C_4$ ($LTC_4$) in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Phytochemical study of the MeOH extract of this plant led to the isolation of twelve compounds; ${\beta}$-farnesene (1), squalene (2), nardostachin (3), patridoid I (4), patridoid II (5), patridoid II-A (6), oleanolic acid (7), oleanonic acid (8), 23-hydroxyursolic acid (9), oleanolic acid 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranoside (10), oleanolic acid 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (11), oleanolic acid 3-O-[${\beta}$-D-xylopyranosyl-(1${\rightarrow}$3)-${\beta}$-D-(6-O-butyl)glucuronopyranoside] (12). Among the compounds, 4 and 5 strongly inhibited both the COX-2-dependent $PGD_2$ generation with $IC_{50}$ values of 8.7 and 13.6 ${\mu}M$, respectively, and the generation of $LTC_4$ in the 5-LOX dependent phase with $IC_{50}$ values of 41.7 and 46.9 ${\mu}M$, respectively, which suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of P. saniculaefolia might occur in part via the inhibition of both $PGD_2$ and $LTC_4$ generation by 4 and 5.
