This study aimed to establish the quantitative method to analyze the content of peroxynitrite-scavengers belonging to polyphenols in six Korean Quercus species (Quercus mongolica, Q. dentata, Q. acutissima, Q. alienta, Q. serrata, and Q. variabilis) by HPLC. The twelve peroxynitrite-scavengers, flavanols (catechins: (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, and (-)-epigallocatechin), flavonols (kaempferol and quercetin), flavonol glycosides (astragalin, quercitrin, and isoquercitrin), flavonol acylated glycosides (astragalin 6''-gallate and isoquercitrin 6''-gallate), gallic acid and its dimer (ellagic acid) were analyzed by HPLC. Further, anti-Alzheimer's activity was assayed in a passive avoidance testusing mice by measuring the retention latency (sec), the concentration of acetylcholine (ACh), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Simultaneous analysis of the extracts of the six Quercus leaves was achieved on a Capcell C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $250mm{\times}4.6mm\;i.d.$) with a gradient elution of 0.05% HAc and 0.05% HAc in $CH_3CN$. In the extract of Q. mongolica leaves, the content of gallic acid (32.53 mg/g), (+)-catechin (28.78 mg/g), (-)-epicatehin (22.03 mg/g), astragalin 6''-gallate (20.94 mg/g), and isoquercitrin 6''-gallate (44.11 mg/g) and peroxynitrite-scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$, $0.831{\mu}g/ml$) were high. This extract delayed the retention latency and inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity in scopolamine-induced memory impairment of mice, suggesting that it has anti-Alzheimer's activity.

Peroxynitrite ($(ONOO^-)$ is a cytotoxic species formed from nitric oxide and superoxide anion, which are highly implicated in the pathogenesis of oxidative stress-mediated diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the scavenging effects of Phellinus linteus on authentic $ONOO^-$, and further phytochemical studies are planned that will attempt to identify the active principles. From the active EtOAc fraction, a mixture of fungisterol and 5-dihydroergosterol (1), a mixture of betulin and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid bis (2-methyl heptyl) ester (2), protocatechualdehyde (3), protocatechuic acid (4), cirsiumaldehyde (5), hispidin (6), caffeic acid (7), phelligridin D (8), uracil (9), gallic acid (10), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (11), ferulic acid (12), 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (13), arbutin (14), isoferulic acid (15), guanosine (16), and ellagic acid (17) were isolated, and their structures were characterized based on spectroscopic data. All compounds except 3, 6, 7 and 16 were isolated for the first time from P. linteus. Compounds 3, 4, 6-8, 10-15, and 17 showed potent scavenging activity on $ONOO^-$, with $IC_{50}$ values of $2.06\;{\pm}\;0.10$, $3.45\;{\pm}\;0.57$, $0.71\;{\pm}\;0.05$, $2.78\;{\pm}\;0.36$, $5.42\;{\pm}\;0.26$, $1.13\;{\pm}\;0.02$, $1.82\;{\pm}\;0.17$, $0.91\;{\pm}\;0.19$, $1.59\;{\pm}\;0.09$, $1.88\;{\pm}\;0.07$, $1.22\;{\pm}\;0.37$, and $2.01\;{\pm}\;0.02\;{\mu}M$, respectively, as compared to the positive control, DL-penicillamine, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $5.04\;{\pm}\;0.06\;{\mu}M$.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO$^{-}$) is one of cytotoxic species produced by the reaction between superoxide(ㆍ $O_2$$^{-}$) and nitric oxide (NO). The aim of this study was to characterize ONOO$^{-}$ scavenging constituents from herbs. Methanolic extract derived from one hundred fifty nine herbs were screened out for their ONOO$^{-}$ scavenging activities. It was investigated that about 33 herbs was excellent scavengers of ONOO$^{-}$. The extracts exhibited dose-dependent ONOO$^{-}$ scavenging activities.

To discover the sources with antioxidative activity in traditional medicines, 100 extracts of Korean medicinal plants were screened for their scavenging effect on peroxynitrite $(ONOO^{-})$ and total reactive oxygen species (ROS). The potency of total ROS scavenging activity was shown in the extracts of 25 plants, and 4 of their species, Macleaya cordata R. Br., Salvia plebeia R. Br., Cassia tora L. and Angelica gigas Nakai, had a greater effect with $IC_{50}$ values of $1.7{\pm}0.36$, $4.3{\pm}1.08$, $4.9{\pm}0.17$ and $5.8{\pm}1.01\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, than that of trolox, positive control $(7.61{\pm}0.12\;{\mu}g/ml)$. Another 35 extracts exhibited inhibitory effect of below 50 percent at $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ of sample concentrations on total ROS, while the rest observed total ROS generators rather than scavengers. The peroxynitrite scavenging activities were observed in the greater part of the plants tested. Five of them, Schisandra chinensis Baill, Campsis grandiflora (Thunb.) K. Schum., Cedrela sinensis A. Juss., Pleuropterus multiflorus Turcz. and Veronica linariaefolia Pall represented scavenging activities on peroxynitrite twice as strong with $IC_{50}$ Values of $0.48{\pm}0.10$, $0.59{\pm}0.15$, $0.60{\pm}0.10$, $0.64{\pm}0.10$ and $0.91{\pm}0.23\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, as that of penicillamine $(1.72{\pm}0.05\;{\mu}g/ml)$, positive control. Consequently, 25 species of the entire plants tested, exhibited scavenging activities on total ROS and $ONOO^{-}$, Salvia plebeia R. Br., Macleaya cordata R. Br., Cassia tora L. and Angelica gigas Nakai exerted potent scavenging activities on both radicals.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻)-scavenging activities of nine Compositae herbs consisting of three Ixeris, two Youngia, two Cirsium and one of each Lactuca and Taraxacum species were evaluated. The contents of their ONOO⁻ scavengers in the extracts were also determined on a HPLC using seven standard compounds, chlorogenic acid (CGA), chicoric acid (CA), luteolin 7-glucoside (luteolin-7-glc), luteolin 7-glucuronide (luteolin-7-glcU), luteolin, linarin and pectolinarin. Five of those compounds exhibited potent ONOO⁻-scavenging activities: IC₅₀, CA (0.76 μM), CGA (1.34 μM), luteolin (0.81 μM), luteolin-7-glc (0.86 μM) and luteolin-7-glcU (3.13 μM). Both CA and luteolin-7-glc were highly contained in I. dentata (19.71 mg/g and 13.58 mg/g, respectively), I. dentata var. albiflora (17.58 mg/g and 23.83 mg/g, respectively) and I. sonchifolia (65.71 mg/g and 6.99 mg/g, respectively). Among the nine herbs, those three Ixeris species had very low IC₅₀ values over the range of 0.48 - 1.74 μg/mL, suggesting that they could be potential therapeutic vegetables, particularly for preventing diabetic complications or obesity, which can be caused by an excess production of ONOO⁻.

약용식물 9종의 물 추출물에 대한 항산화 효과를 탐색하기 위해 in vitro 조건에서 강력한 산화력과 독성을 갖는 $ONOO^-$와 ${\cdot}$OH radical의 소거효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 감잎, 구기자, 꾸지뽕나무, 담쟁이덩굴, 마디풀, 비파나무, 으름덩굴, 참취 추출물은 10${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 50% 이상의$ONOO^$ 소거효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 $ONOO^-$ 소거효과는 양성 대조물인 penicillamine(94.08${\pm}$3.04)에 비해 낮았지만 비파나무 물 추출물(89.87${\pm}$4.57)이 다른 시료에 비해 가장 강력한 $ONOO^-$ 소거효과를 나타냈다. 또한, 가는잎쐐기풀과 감잎 물 추출물은 1mg/ml 농도에서 양성대조물인 thiourea 보다 효과적인${\cdot}$OH radical 억제효 과를 나타냈다. 결론적으로 9종의 약용식물은 $ONOO^-$와${\cdot}$OH radical과 연관된 산화적 스트레스에 의한 세포와 조직의 손상을 억제시킬 수 있는 천연 항산화제로 밝혀졌다.
