Medicinal plants were screened for the inhibitory effects on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 pretense Of the extracts tested, the strong inhibitory effects were observed in the acetone extracts of the pericarp of Camellia japonica. Camelliatannin H from the pericarp of C. japonica showed a potent inhibitory activity on HIV- 1 pretense. Effects of the extract and compound from leaves of Zanthoxylum piperitum on the enzyme activities were investigated in the liver of bromobenzene-treated rats. The methanol extract and protocatechuic acid isolated from Z. piperitum reduced the activity of aniline hydroxylase that increased by bromobenzene, while did not affect the activities of aminopyrin N-demethylase and glutathione S-transferase The extract and protocatechuic acid recovered significantly the activity of epoxide hydrolase decreased by bromobenzene.

Acute bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) are essentially lung inflammatory disorders. Various plant extracts and their constituents showed therapeutic effects on several animal models of lung inflammation. These include coumarins, flavonoids, phenolics, iridoids, monoterpenes, diterpenes and triterpenoids. Some of them exerted inhibitory action mainly by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and nuclear transcription $factor-{\kappa}B$ activation. Especially, many flavonoid derivatives distinctly showed effectiveness on lung inflammation. In this review, the experimental data for plant extracts and their constituents showing therapeutic effectiveness on animal models of lung inflammation are summarized.

본 연구에서는 제2형 당뇨병를 가진 GK 흰쥐(Goto-Kakizaki) 간에서 추출한 cytosol과 심장에서 추출한 mitochondria를 이용한 모델계에서 당대사 관련 효소인 glucokinase glucokinase(GCK), pyruvate dehydrogenase(PDH), acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACC) 및 glucosidase 활성에 대한 한약재의 물 추출물의 항당뇨 효과를 연구하였다. 그리고 역시 그들의 물 추출물의 free radical 소거활성을 DPPH 방법으로 알아보았다. Free radical 소거활성은 산수유(CF), 목단피(MDB), 천화분(CHB) 그리고 산약(SY)의 물 추출물이 강했고 반면에 백목령(BBR), 숙지황(SGH)과 택사(TS)는 낮은 소거작용을 나타내었다. 간 cytosol의 GCK 활성은 산수유(CF)와 천화분(CHB)에서 다른 추출물보다 더 강했다. 심장미토콘드리아의 PDH 활성은 택사(TS)를 제외하고 모든 추출물에서 대조군과 비교하여 높았다. 간 cytosol의 ACC 활성은 대조군보다 산수유(CF), 천화분(CHB), 숙지황(SGH), 택사(TS) 그리고 산약(SY) 추출물에서 높았다. 산수유(CF), 백복령(BBR) 및 목단피(MDB) 추출물은 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 감소를 유도했다. 따라서 모든 추출물은 혈당 상승을 억제할 수 있는 항당뇨 기능성식품이나 약품 개발을 위한 기능성 천연 소재로 이용될 수 있을 가능성을 제시하였다.

It is well known that excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress, loss of cell function, and ultimately apoptosis or necrosis. To search for natural antioxidants able to modulate cellular oxidative stress, we investigated the protective effect of ethanol extracts of 17 medicinal plants selected from the preliminary antioxidant screening on tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH)-induced oxidative stress in human keratinocytes. The result showed that extracts of the four plants, Distylium racemosum, Astilbe chinensis, Cercis chinensis and Sapium japonicum, exhibited significant cytoprotective activity (over 50% protection) against t-BuOOH-induced cellular injury.

약용식물 23종 메탄올 추출물의 폴리페놀 함량을 측정한 후 항산화 활성을 측정하고, 항당뇨 활성으로는 ${\alpha}$-amylase 저해 활성, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성을 검정하여 혈당강하 활성을 나타낼 수 있는 약용식물을 선발하고자 한다. 약용식물의 폴리페놀 함량을 분석한 결과 1.50~15.25 mg GAE/g의 다양한 함량 범위로 나타났으며 가장 높은 함량은 주목열매(15.25 mg GAE/g), 화살나무줄기(15.12 mg GAE/g), 두충잎(14.24 mg GAE/g)으로 3종이 나타났다. 60% 이상 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 본 약용식물로는 두충 줄기수피(80.10%), 구기자나무 뿌리(64.25%), 화살나무 줄기(73.59%), 비수리(78.20%), 주목열매(70.52%), 뽕잎나무 잎줄기(67.81%) 부위 추출물로 6종이 선발되었다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase를 80% 이상 저해한 약용소재로는 두충 줄기심재, 두충 줄기수피, 화살나무 줄기, 마, 율무, 녹두 6종이 선발되었다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase를 80% 이상 저해한 약용식물로는 칡뿌리, 두충 줄기수피, 두충잎, 구기자 열매, 화살나무 잎줄기, 화살나무 줄기, 조릿대 지상부, 마, 뽕잎나무 잎줄기 추출물 등 9종이 선발되었다. 항산화 및 항당뇨 활성이 우수했던 약용식물들은 향후 새로운 의약품 개발 및 성인병 예방의 건강기능식품으로 개발하는 데 있어 좋은 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Background: Invasion of these invasive plants in the ecosystem threatens the habitat of endemic species, reduces biodiversity, and causes a disturbance in the ecological system. Hypochaeris radicata L. (Asteraceae), the most invasive plant in Korea, particularly in Jeju Island, invades farmlands, and autochthonous forests, resulting in the establishment of monocultures and modification of the ecosystem structure. Methods and Results: In this study was, we evaluated the biological activity of 70% ethanolic extracts from different parts of Hypochaeris radicata L. The biological activities of 70% ethanolic extracts of different parts, such as flower, leaf, stem, and root, of H. radicata were investigated. The total polyphenol content was highest in flower extracts ($50.82{\pm}3.16mg{\cdot}QE/g$). In addition, the highest flavonoid content was observed in flower extract ($15.19{\pm}2.03mg{\cdot}QE/g$). The flower extract of H. radicata exhibited stronger DPPH radical-scavenging activities, ABTS radical scavenging activities, and reducing power than the other parts. The flower extract of H. radicata was observed to have the highest tyrosinase and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities. Conclusions: The flower extracts of H. radicata exhibited remarkable antioxidant activity as well as tyrosinase and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory effects. These activities might be related to the phenolic compounds present in the H. radicata flower extract.

A series of aqueous or methanol extracts from four different Korean salad plants were assayed to determine their allelopathy and antioxidant activity. The extracts applied on filter paper in a Petri-dish bioassay significantly inhibited root growth of against alfalfa (Medicago sativa) seedlings. Leaf extracts from 40 g dry tissue $L^{-1}$ of Aster yomena was most phytotoxic to alfalfa root growth, and followed by that of Cirsium japonicum, Taraxacum officinale, and Ixeris dentate. Methanol extracts of plants dose-dependently increased DPPH free radical scavenging activity in vitro. Antioxidant activity of methanol extracts from the same plant species was investigated, and the result showed high DPPH free radical scavenging activity in Cirsium japonicum, Aster yomena, and Ixeris dentate, however, in Taraxacum officinale was least activity. By means of HPLC analysis, chlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid, and total phenolics with 7.68, 17.47 and 18.64 mg, $100g^{-1}$, respectively, showed the highest amounts in methanol extracts from Cirsium japonicum leaves. These results suggest that Compositae salad plants contain water-soluble substances with allelopathic potential as well as antioxidant activity.

Cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) catalyzes the acylation of cholesterol to cholesteryl ester with long chain fatty acids and ACAT inhibition is a useful strategy for treating hypercholesterolemia or atherosclerosis. Inhibitory effects on ACAT of the MeOH extracts prepared from 163 edible plants were evaluated. 15 species out of 163 species exhibited higher than 50% of inhibition on the hACAT-1 and 9 species exhibited higher than 50% of inhibition on the hACAT-2 activity at their concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/mL$.
