Antioxidative and scavenging effects were investigated by using two hyaroxycinnamic acids (caffeetannins). such as caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, on oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity that induced by paraquat. The results are summerized as follows: 1. To assess radical scavenging ability, reduction concentration (IC$\sub$50/) of 1.1 diphenyl-2-dipicrylhydrazine (DPPH) were measured. IC$\sub$50/ values of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid were 29.7 ${\pm}$0.6 ${\mu}$M and 26.0${\pm}$0.5 ${\mu}$M respectively. Their radical scavenging activities showed concentration-dependent manner. 2. In H$_2$O$_2$-induced hemolysis assay to rat blood, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid led to different effects, whose hemolysis inhibition ratios at 100 ${\mu}$M were 45.2${\pm}$7.1% and 11.6${\pm}$3.1% respectively 3. In hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system producing superoxide anion, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid showed different inhibitory activities of xanthine oxidase showing 36.8${\pm}$4.3% and 5.4${\pm}$2.3% respectively. 4. To microsomal NADPH dependent cytochrome p-450 reductase in rat liver, paraquat consumed NADPH at a dose-dependent manner from 0 to 1 ${\mu}$M paraquat concentration. Caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid blocked NADPH consumption rates at concentration-dependent manner and inhibition ratios at 100 ${\mu}$M were 67.6% and 59.2% respectively. 5. Administration (30mg/kg, iv) of paraquat to rats caused the marked elevation of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lipid peroxides (LPO) in the serum and lipid peroxides in the microsome as compared to the control group. Serum GOT, GPT, LDH, ALP and LPO and liver microsomal LPO were reduced significantly by caffeic acid (50mg/kg), chlorogenic acid (25mg/kg) and silymarin (150 mg/kg) as compared to the paraquat group. From these results, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid exerted their antioxidative agents by removing reactive oxygen substance (ROS) and scavenging effects by inhibiting ROS generating enzyme. As a general, two hydroxyeinnamic acids showed the useful compounds for scavenger and reducer on the paraquat induced hepatotoxicity.

N-(p-Coumaroyl)serotonin과 N-Feruloylserotonin은 홍화씨에서 유래하는 특이적인 세로토닌유도체로 주로 식물이 병원균을 방어하기 위해서 만들어내는 hydroxycinnamic acid amides계 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 N-(p-Coumaroyl) serotonin과 N-Feruloylserotonin이 지방전구세포의 지방분화에 미치는 영향을 oil-red O염색과 triglyceride 양 측정, GPDH 활성 측정 등을 통해 알아보았고, 그 결과 두 물질 모두 유의적으로 지방세포분화를 억제함을 관찰하였다. 효능 비교물질로 세로토닌을 처리했을 때 세로토닌 자체로는 지방분화에 유의미한 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. N-(p-Coumaroyl) serotonin과 N-Feruloylserotonin은 또한 우수한 항산화능을 보여주었다. 이러한 결과를 통해, N-(p-Coumaroyl)serotonin과 N-Feruloylserotonin이 지방세포분화억제를 통한 항비만 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

Quantitative changes in functional constituents of waxy corn (Zea mays L.) by 5 different thermal pretreatments, including roasting, steaming, microwave, puffing, and extruding, were determined and compared with those of the raw waxy corn. There were no significant differences in fatty acid compositions among the corn treated with 5 thermal treatments. Levels of $\alpha$- and $\gamma$-tocopherols, soluble amino acids, and phytosterols decreased by thermal treatments, while those of p-coumaric and ferulic acids considerably increased by thermal treatments. In particular, the contents of tocopherols and phytosterols, and souble amino acid decreased significant in the steaming and puffing processes, respectively, whereas those of 2 free cinnamic acids increased significantly in the steaming and puffing processes. The extruding process showed smaller quantitative changes in tocopherols, phytosterols, and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives compared to other heat pretreatments. These results suggest that the extruding process have a positive effect on valuable phytochemicals in waxy corn.

The EtOAc and n-BuOH soluble fractions from the aerial part of Setaria viridis showed a strong free radical scavenging activity. Six major compounds were isolated from these fractions. They were identified by spectral data as tricin (1), p-hydroxycinnamic acid (2), vitexin 2"-Ο-xyloside (3), orientin 2"-Ο-xyloside (4), $tricin-7-Ο-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ (5) and vitexin 2"-Ο-glucoside (6). Among these compounds, 4 and 5 exhibited strong free radical scavenging activities on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). We further studied the effects of these isolated compounds on the lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes induced by non-enzymatic method. As expected, 4 and 5 exhibited significant inhibition on $ascorbic/Fe^{2-}$ induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes.ver microsomes.

3,4,5-Trihydroxycinnamic acid (THC) is a derivative of hydroxycinnamic acids, which have been reported to possess a variety of biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and neuroprotective activities. However, biological activity of THC has not been extensively examined. Recently, we reported that THC possesses anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. However, its precise mechanism by which THC exerts anti-inflammatory action has not been clearly identified. Therefore, the present study was carried out to understand the anti-inflammatory mechanism of THC in BV2 microglial cells. THC effectively suppressed the LPS-induced induction of pro-inflammatory mediators such as NO, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IL-$1{\beta}$. THC also suppressed expression of MCP-1, which plays a key role in the migration of activated microglia. To understand the underlying mechanism by which THC exerts these anti-inflammatory properties, involvement of Nrf2, which is a cytoprotective transcription factor, was examined. THC resulted in increased phosphorylation of Nrf2 with consequent expression of HO-1 in a concentration-dependent manner. THC-induced phosphorylation of Nrf2 was blocked with SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, indicating that p38 MAPK is the responsible kinase for the phosphorylation of Nrf2. Taken together, the present study for the first time demonstrates that THC exerts anti-inflammatory properties through the activation of Nrf2 in BV2 microglial cells, suggesting that THC might be a valuable therapeutic adjuvant for the treatment of inflammation-related disorders in the CNS.

UPLC-DAD-ESI(+)-QToF/MS를 사용하여 국내산 두릅나무 및 음나무 순의 페놀산을 분석한 결과 두릅나무 순에서 총 13종, 음나무 순에서 총 8종의 페놀산 성분을 동정하였으며, 내부표준물질을 이용하여 이들 개별 성분을 정량하였다. 개별 페놀산 성분 구조 동정 시 모분자에 $Na^+$ 또는 $K^+$가 결합되는 특징적인 단편이온들이 관찰되어 모분자의 분자량을 쉽게 판단할 수 있었다. 전반적인 구조 동정은 선행연구 및 표준품의 UV, MS 분석 결과를 참고하여 비교하였으며, 특히 이성질체의 효율적인 동정을 위해 SIM mode 방법을 적용하였다. 따라서 두릅나무 및 음나무 순에서 10종(3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid, 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-O-p-coumaroylquinic acid, 5-O-feruloylquinic acid, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3-O-feruloyl-5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3-O-caffeoyl-5-O-feruloylquinic acid)의 페놀산이 처음으로 확인되었다. 총 페놀산 함량은 두릅나무 순, 음나무 순이 각각 754.8, 845.3 mg/100g으로 확인하였다. 주요 성분인 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid는 두릅나무 순에서 각각 총 페놀산 함량 중 49, 44%로 서로 비슷한 함량을 보인 것이 비해 음나무 순에서는 각각 91, 3%로 확인되었다. 따라서 음나무 순에 비해 두릅나무 순에서 dicaffeoylquinic acid류의 생합성이 활발하게 이루어졌다는 것을 짐작할 수 있었으며, 본 연구 결과는 이들의 생합성에 관여하는 효소, 유전 인자 등을 규명하는데 중요한 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

Hydroxycinnamic acids have been reported to possess numerous pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties. However, the biological activity of 1-p-coumaroyl ${\beta}$-D-glucoside (CG), a glucose ester derivative of p-coumaric acid, has not been clearly examined. The objective of this study is to elucidate the anti-inflammatory action of CG in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. In the present study, CG significantly suppressed LPS-induced excessive production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and $PGE_2$ and the protein expression of iNOS and COX-2. CG also inhibited LPS-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-$1{\beta}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$. In addition, CG significantly suppressed LPS-induced degradation of $I{\kappa}B$. To elucidate the underlying mechanism by which CG exerts its anti-inflammatory action, involvement of various signaling pathways were examined. CG exhibited significantly increased Akt phosphorylation in a concentration-dependent manner, although MAPKs such as Erk, JNK, and p38 appeared not to be involved. Furthermore, inhibition of Akt/PI3K signaling pathway with wortmannin significantly, albeit not completely, abolished CG-induced Akt phosphorylation and anti-inflammatory actions. Taken together, the present study demonstrates that Akt signaling pathway might play a major role in CG-mediated anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells.
