Guibi-tang is a traditional medicine used for the treatment of colds. We investigated the levels of several compounds in Guibi-tang before and after fermentation with Lactobacillus and tested their ability to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme. Six known compounds (decursin, decursinol angelate, nodakenin, liquiritin, formononetin, and 6-gingerol) and 2 unidentified compounds were detected in Guibi-tang (GB) and fermented Guibi-tang (FGB) by an established HPLC-DAD method. The levels of the 6 known compounds were decreased after fermentation. FGB showed more potent inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme activity than GB. In conclusion, fermentation with Lactobacillus affects the content of several compounds in GB and improves its angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity.

The prescription of Gal Gun Tang, which has been used for treatment of cold, fever, and muscular pain in Chinese herb medicine, is produced in the form of decoction However, the storage problem for this dosage form remains unsettled. Using HPLC and GC, we examined quantitative change of major constituents caused by time-progress and temperature-change. Nine major constituents, such as cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, ephedrine, puerarin, paeoniflorin, daidzin, benzoic acid, glycyrrhizin and liquiritin, were selected as references. The content of cinnamaldehyde significantle decreased by the increase of temperature. While that of cinnamic acid increased. Benzoic acid showed the most significant change of the content in three months at $40^{\circ}C$. It is suggested that most of constituents are considerably stable when kept frozen.

본 연구에서는 감초성분인 glycyrrhizin, liquiritin, liquiritigenin, isoliquiritigenin의 항균활성을 측정하고, 원산지별 감초 추출물에서 항균활성 성분인 isoliquiritigenin과 liquiritigenin을 정량하여 비교평가하였다. 또한 challenge test를 통하여 가장 뛰어난 항균활성을 나타낸 isoliquiritigenin과 합성 방부제인 메틸 파라벤과의 방부력을 비교하였다. 감초 성분의 항균활성을 disc diffusion assay를 통해 측정한 결과, Liquiritigenin과 isoliquiritigenin이 B. subtilis, P. acnes, E. coli, P. aeruginosa에 대해 저해활성을 보였다. 특히 감초성분 중 큰 항균활성을 나타낸 isoliquiritigenin과 합성 방부제로 사용되는 메틸 파라벤과 프로필 파라벤의 최소저해농도를 비교한 결과 isoliquiritigenin이 강력한 항균활성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. HPLC를 통해 원산지별 감초 추출물 isoliquiritigenin과 liquiritigenin을 정량한 결과, 이들의 함량은 한국산 감초가 중국산 감초와 우즈베키스탄산 감초보다 높은 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 한국산 감초가 우수한 항균력을 나타내는데 isoliquiritigenin, liquiritigenin 함량이 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다. Isoliquiritigenin의 B. subtilis, P. acnes, E. coli, P. aeruginosa에 대한 challenge test를 통해 메틸 파라벤 보다 isoliquiritigenin이 뛰어난 방부력을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 이상의 본 연구 결과로부터 감초 성분의 항균활성을 확인하였고, 원산지별 감초(한국, 중국, 우즈베키스탄) 중 한국 감초가 우수한 항균력을 나타내는데 isoliquiritigenin과 liquiritigenin 함량이 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 감초 성분 중 가장 우수한 항균활성을 나타낸 isoliquiritigenin은 파라벤류를 대체 할 수 있는 천연 보존제로써 이용 가능성이 있다고 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the shelf-life of Bojungikgi-tang (Buzhongyiqi-tang in Chinese) by long-term storage test. Experiments were performed to evaluate the stability such as the selected physicochemical, pH, identification, heavy metal, microbiological experiment, and amount of marker compounds under a long-term storage test of Bojungikgi-tang decoction. The significant change was not showed in pH, heavy metal, microbiological, and identification test based on long-term storage test. Furthermore, the HPLC analysis was performed for the determinations of liquiritin, glycyrrhizin, nodakenin, and hesperidin in Bojungikgi-tang by long-term storage test. We were calculated shelf-life of Bojungikgi-tang decoction based on the amount change of four constituents. Consequently, Shelf-life by four compounds at room temperature was predicted 23 month. The suggested shelf-life would be helpful on the storage and distribution of herbal medicine.

Objectives: We investigated to develop and validate HPLC-PDA methods for simultaneous determination of eight constituents in Galgeun-tang (GGT). Methods: Reverse-phase chromatography using a Gemini C18 column operating at $40^{\circ}C$, and photodiode array (PDA) detection at 230 nm, 254 nm, and 280 nm, were used for quantification of the eight marker components of GGT. The mobile phase using a gradient flow consisted of two solvent systems. Solvent A was 1.0% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid and solvent B was acetonitrile with 1.0% (v/v) acetic acid. Results: Calibration curves were acquired with $r^2$ > 0.9999, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) values (%) for intra- and inter-day precision were less than 3.0%. The recovery rate of each component was in the range of 87.33-101.38%, with an RSD less than 7.0%. The contents of the eight components in GGT were 1.98-12.17 mg/g. Conclusions: The established method will be applied for the quantification of marker components in GGT.

Gumiganghwal-tang (GMT) is a traditional herbal prescription used for treatment of the common cold, pain, and inflammatory diseases. Variations in the amounts of bioactive components of GMT and GMT fermented with 10 Lactobacillus strains were investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). Simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analyses of eleven bioactive compounds (prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, liquiritin, cimifugin, baicalin, liquiritigenin, wogonoside, baicalein, wogonin, butylphthalide, imperatorin, and isoimperatorin) were performed, with comparison of their retention times (tR) and UV spectra with those of standard compounds. The amounts of baicalin (8.71 mg/g), liquiritigenin (5.28 mg/g) and butylphthalide (5.10 mg/g) were the major compounds in GMT. We found that L. fermentum KFRI 145 fermented wogonoside and baicalin to their aglycones, wogonin and baicalein, respectively. These results indicated that L. fermentum KFRI 145 has potential as a functional starter culture for manufacturing fermented GMT.

The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze for quality assessment of eighteen marker compounds, including homogentisic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, spinosin, liquiritin, hesperidin, ginsenoside Rg1, liquiritigenin, ginsenoside Rb1, glycyrrhizin, 6-gingerol, atractylenolide III, honokiol, costunolide, dehydrocostuslactone, atractylenolide II, nootkatone, magnolol, and atractylenolide I, in Hyangsayukgunja-tang using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometer. The column for separation of eighteen marker components were used a UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ analytical column ($2.1{\times}100mm$, $1.7{\mu}$) and kept at $45^{\circ}C$ by gradient elution with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in water and acetonitrile as mobile phase. The flow rate and injection volume were 0.3 mL/min and $2.0{\mu}l$, respectively. The correlation coefficient of all marker compounds was ${\geq}0.9914$, which means good linearity, within the test ranges. The limits of detection and quantification values of the all analytes were in the ranges 0.04-1.11 and 0.13-3.33 ng/mL, respectively. As a result, five compounds, homogentisic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, spinosin, liquiritigenin, and atractylenolide I, in this sample were not detected and the amounts of the 13 compounds except for the 5 compounds were $8.10-6736.37{\mu}g/g$ in Hyangsayukgunja-tang extract.
