This study was conducted to explore the immune activity, anticancer activity and nitrile scavenging activities of methanol extracts from the various organs of four Korean resource plants. The immune responses from both human T and B cell line was significantly enhanced in the cell growth compared to control while the cell growth was influenced at a certain period of culture. The results revealed that the cell growth of both human T and B cell was altered in a time dependent manner. Among tested several resource plants, the flower extract of E. japonicum demonstrated a pronounced cytotoxicity against HCT-116 cell with an IC50 value $132.08{\mu}g\;ml-1$. The flower extract from Corylopsis coreana had a promising scavenging activity against pH 1.2 compared to other species. Taken together, the studied resource plants have influenced significantly in response to immunity and also have the potential cytotoxicity and nitric scavenging activities. However, the species E. japonicum exhibited the pronounced activities from several resource plants. The result from this investigation suggests that the extracts of studied resource plant could be an addition to basic medicine for some diseases.

This study was carried out in order to determine the biological activities such as antioxidant activities in nine cultivars of Momordica charantia L. (Korea, China, Japan and Philippine native cultivars). Their antioxidant activities were measured using DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS cation radical scavenging, and Nitrite scavenging ability. The highest total polyphenol content (16.82 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$) measured in the native Korea cultivar, and this value was 4.0 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ higher than that of the 'Verde Beuhas' cultivar (12.82 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$). The 'Peacock' cultivar had the highest total flavonoid amount which was 4.38 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The free radical scavenging activity using DPPH method was the highest in the native China cultivar ($RC_{50}$ = 102.6 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$). ABTS cation radical scavenging activity according to cultivars was significantly higher in 'Peacock'. Nitrite scavenging ability showed the most remarkable effect at the pH 1.2, exhibited to 81.5${\sim}$86.9% by addition of ethanol extract 1${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ from Momordica charantia L. These results suggest that Momordica charantia L. had the potent biological activities, and that their activities exhibited differently depending on cultivars.

n-Butanol and ethyl acetate extracts of thermal treatment yam (Dioscorea batatas $D_{ECNE.}$) belonging to the family Dioscoreaceae were measured for their radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibition ability. In this study, ethyl acetate extract showed the most potent antioxidant activity evaluated by ferrous ion chelating activity and NO radical scavenging activity. Nevertheless, n-butanol extract was more effective in inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation. A significant difference between n-butanol extract and ethyl acetate extract in nitrite scavenging activity ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assays could not be found. Also, the results of this study showed that thermal treatment yam could be used as easily accessible source of natural antioxidants and as a possible food supplement.

This study compared the total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities of two seaweed cultivars, Undaria pinnatifida (UP) and Capsosiphon fulvescens (CF), subjected to different drying methods. UP and CF were dried under two different conditions: vacuum drying (VD) at $20^{\circ}C$ and hot-air drying (HD) at $60^{\circ}C$. After drying, the total phenolic content, DPPH, and nitrite scavenging activities of the water extracts were determined. Total phenolic contents were 101.94 mg/100 g for UP and 171.35 mg/100 g for CF upon VD-20, and these values were significantly decreased to 67.59 mg/100 g for UP and 141.48 mg/100 g for CF upon HD-60. UP upon VD-20 and HD-60 had 46.17% and 35.20% DPPH radical scavenging activity, whereas CF upon VD-20 and HD-60 scavenged 57.73% and 35.22%, respectively. UP upon VD-20 and HD-60 had 40.36% and 40.01% nitrite scavenging activity at pH 1.2, whereas CF upon VD-20 and HD-60 scavenged 72.35% and 55.24%, respectively. Nitrite scavenging activities of UP and CF were reduced at pH 3.0.

In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant activities and xanthine oxidase inhibition effects of water and ethanol extracts of Cynomorium songaricum. The ethanol extract of C. songaricum (EE) contained more phenolic and flavonoid compounds than the water extract (WE). The antioxidant activities of the extracts were increased as the concentration of the extract increased. The WE has better effectiveness than the EE for DPPH free radical scavenging activity and nitrite scavenging ability. The nitrite scavenging abilities of WE were 90.02% ($EC_{50}$ 653.15 ${\mu}g$/mL) at conditions of pH 1.2 and 2,000 ${\mu}g$/mL, and 84.34% ($EC_{50}$ 817.17 ${\mu}g$/mL) at pH 3.0. The EE has more effective SOD-like activity and XO inhibition than WE. The SOD-like activity of EE was 81.47% at a concentration of 2,000 ${\mu}g$/mL, $EC_{50}$ was 951.70 ${\mu}g$/mL. The xanthine oxidase inhibition of the EE, with an $EC_{50}$of 112.47 ${\mu}g$/mL, is greater than that of ascorbic acid, which was 192.50 ${\mu}g$/mL (p<0.05). These results suggest that the C. songaricum is a potentially useful antioxidant source for the development of nutraceuticals and medicines.

쑥갓의 항산화 활성을 알아보기 위해 쑥갓 총 메탄올추출물의 아질산염 소거작용과 SOD 유사활성을 측정하였다. 아질산염 소거작용과 SOD 유사활성을 가지고 있는 총 메탄올 추출물로부터 클로로포름, n-부탄올 및 물 분획물을 제조하여 각각의 활성을 측정하였다. pH가 1.5일 때의 클로로포름 분획물의 $IC_{50}$값은 39ppm으로 가장 우수한 아질산염 소거작용을 보였으며, vitamin C와 chlorogenic acid의 $IC_{50}$값이 15ppm과 36ppm일 때 클로로포름 분획물은 양성대조군인 chlorogenic acid와 동등한 소거작용을 보였다. 아질산염 소거작용에 대하여 유의성 있게 높은 활성을 나타낸 클로로포름 분획물을 silica gel 컬럼크로마토그래피와 sephadex LH-20 컬럼크로마토그래피를 이용하여 분획의 활성성분인 compound I을 분리하였다. 분리된 compound를 $^{1}H-NMR$과 $^{13}C-NMR$ spectral data를 통하여 구조를 동정한 결과 compound I은 ${\beta}-sitosterol-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$임을 확인하였다. Compound I과 그 aglycone인 ${\beta}-sitosterol$의 아질산염 소거작용과 SOD 유사활성은 다소 차이가 있었다. 양성대조군으로 사용한 vitamin C와 chlorogenic acid의 $IC_{50}$값이 pH 1.5에서 각각 15ppm과 36ppm일때 compound I의 $IC_{50}$값이 335ppm, ${\beta}-sitosterol$의 $IC_{50}$값이 41ppm으로 가수분해된 aglycone이 아질산염 소거작용이 훨씬 높았다. SOD 유사활성의 경우 vitamin C와 chlorogenic acid의 $EC_{50}$ 값은 38ppm, 449ppm으로 이와 비교시 ${\beta}-sitosterol$과 배당체의 $EC_{50}$ 값은 1,291ppm과 2,000ppm 이상으로 나타났다.
