Biorenovation is a method that converts existing compounds into new compounds through the enzymatic action of microorganisms. Biorenovation has expected effects such as reducing toxicity of compounds and increasing their activity. In this study, we successfully synthesized Luteolin-7-O-glucoside (L7G) through biorenovation and investigated its inhibitory effect on melanin production in α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone induced B16F10 mouse melanoma cells. We confirmed that Luteolin was toxic at 50, 100 and 200 µM, but our L7G in same concentration was not toxic for B16F10 mouse melanoma cells and also showed significant reduction in melanin production and tyrosinase activity. In addition, while investigating the effect of L7G on factors involved in melanin synthesis through western blotting, we were able to confirm that the MITF and tyrosinase protein synthesis was inhibited in treatment with L7G, however, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1) and dopachrome tautomerase (TRP-2) expression was not affected. So we derived a conclusion that through biorenovation we could produce compounds like L7G with improved activity and reduced toxicity for possible use as an active ingredient with whitening functionality in cosmetics.It also suggests that the application of biorenovation has potential usefulness in developing anti-inflammatory materials. It also suggests that the application of bio-renovation has potential usefulness in the development of inflammatory material. We applied Biorenovation technology to Distylium racemosum extract (DR) to generate Distylium racemosum biorenovation product (DRB), and investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of DRB in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 macrophages. We are applying technology to Biorenovation Distylium racemosum extract (DR) Distylium racemosum was to create a biorenovation product (DRB), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) investigated the anti-inflammatory properties of DRB in RAW264.7 macrophages treated for.

The inhibitory activity for all purified flavonoids were examined against lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsome. All examined flavonoids showed considerable antioxidant activity. Among them, $IC_{50}$ value of apigenin, luteolin, isorhamnetin, quercetin, and eriodictyol were showed higher than that of vitamin E used as positive control. And methoxylated flavonoids, tricin, eupafolin, jaceosidine, diosmetin, and isorhamnetin showed considerable antioxidant activity. Each $IC_{50}$ values were shown at 0.9, 1.0, 1.4, 1.0, and $0.7\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

Two flavone glycosides were isolated from the aerial part of Angelica keiskei Koidz and identified by means of spectral analysis as luteolin-$7-O-{\beta}-{_D}-glucoside$ and Iuteolin-7-O-rutinoside. Intraperitoneal administration of methanolic extract(100mg/kg) and $luteolin-7-O-{\beta}-{_D}-glucoside(5mg/kg)$ isolated from this plant produced a significant hypolipemic activity.

Impatiens textori Miquel (Balsaminaceae) is an annual plant growing in most parts of Korea. The herb of this plant has been used as a medicine for external application for the snake poison and the bruise. From the herbs of this plant, two flavone glycosides were isolated and the structures were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods. The compounds were identified as apigenin 7-O-glucoside (cosmosiin) (I) and luteolin 7-O-glucoside (II). These compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contents of apigenin and luteolin in vegetables mainly distributed and consumed in Korea. In this study, the contents of apigenin, apigenin-7-O-glucoside, luteolin, and luteolin-7-O-glucoside in vegetables were surveyed by using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). According to the analysis of 27 items (91 samples) in vegetables, the content of total apigenin (the sum of apigenin and apigenin-7-O-glucoside) was quantified in 8 out of the 27 items in vegetables, followed by pepper leaves, parsley, celery, chamnamul, foremost mugwort, and perilla leaves. The content of total luteolin (the sum of luteolin and luteolin-7-O-glucoside) was found in 11 of the 27 items in vegetables, followed by pepper leaves, dandelion, celery, red lettuce, foremost mugwort, and perilla leaves. Celery was divided into stalks and leaves for comparing the contents of apigenin and luteolin. Celery showed higher contents of apigenin and luteolin in leaves than in stalks.

This study aimed to identify the hepatoprotective effects of a fermented Chrysanthemum indicum L. water extract. The extraction yield, antioxidant activities (ABTS and DPPH), and content of luteolin and luteolin-7-glucoside were significantly higher in the fermented C. indicum L. water extract (FCI) than in the C. indicum L. water extract. Treatment with FCI (200 ㎍/mL) significantly reduced the activities of gamma(γ)-glutamyl transferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase in HepG2 cells treated with 3% ethanol. Furthermore, FCI did not affect the viability of the HepG2 cells. These results suggest that FCI can be useful for the development of an effective hepatoprotective agent.

Luteolin-7-O-glucoside (LUT7G), a flavone subclass of flavonoids, has been found to increase anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, as well as cytotoxic effects. However, the mechanism of how LUT7G induces apoptosis and regulates cell cycles remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of LUT7G on the growth inhibition of tumors, cell cycle arrest, induction of ROS generation, and the involved signaling pathway in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells. The proliferation of HepG2 cells was decreased by LUT7G in a dose-dependent manner. The growth inhibition was due primarily to the G2/M phase arrest and ROS generation. Moreover, the phosphorylation of JNK was increased by LUT7G. These results suggest that the anti-proliferative effect of LUT7G on HepG2 is associated with G2/M phase cell cycle arrest by JNK activation.

The abnormal proliferation of aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty and possibly also in the development of hypertension. The present study was designed to examine the inhibitory effects and the mechanism of luteolin 7-glucoside (L7G) on the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced proliferation of VSMCs. L7G significantly inhibited the PDGF-BB-induced proliferation and the DNA synthesis of the VSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner. Pre-incubation of the VSMCs with L7G significantly inhibited the PDGF-BB-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), Akt and the phospholipase C $(PLC)-{\gamma}1$ activation. However, L7G had almost no affect on the phosphorylation of $PDGF-{\beta}$ receptor tyrosine kinase, which was induced by PDGF-BB. These results suggest that L7G inhibits the PDGF-BB-induced proliferation of VSMCs via the blocking of $(PLC)-{\gamma}1$, Akt, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
