Partitioning of human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) was achieved in the aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) using a crude extract of transgenic tobacco cell suspension culture. This study examined the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular weight and concentration and the effects of sodium phosphate concentration in different PEG/sodium phosphate systems on the partition coefficient, K. The best ATPS system was 5% PEG 8,000/1.6 M sodium phosphate after 2 h of incubation at room temperature. In this system, hGM-CSF was partitioned in the PEG-rich phase with a yield of 57.99% and K$\_$hGM-CSF/ of 8.12. In another system, 3% PEG 10,000/1.6 M sodium phosphate, hGM-CSF was also partitioned primarily in the top phase with a yield of 45.66% and K$\_$hGM-CSF/ of 7.64 after 2 h of incubation at room temperature.

본 실험은 alfalfa 와 vetch의 추출물과 잔유물의 콩과 옥수수에 대한 타감작용을 검정하기 위해서 실시 되었다. 콩과 옥수수에 대한 타감작용을 검정하기 위해서 영양생장기 때에 수확된 alfalfa 와 vetch를 건조시켜 추출물을 얻었고 또한 이들 잔기를 silica sand와 혼합처리하여 콩과 옥수수의 생육을 검토 하였고, 콩에 대해서는 근류균의 착생정도를 조사 하였다. 1. 발아시험에서는 롱과 옥수수의 발아율, 유근의 생장, 무게 등이 추출물 농도가 증가할수록 억제 되었으며, 최고 억제정도는 추출물 농도 20%에서 발생되었다. 추출물에 대하여 콩이 옥수수보다 더 민감하게 반응하였으며, alfalfa의 추출물이 vetch의 추출물보다 더 억제적이었다. 2. Alfalfa와 vetch를 silica sand에 혼합하여 콩과 옥수수의 간장, 엽면적, 지상부의 생육정도를 비교하였을 때 콩의 간장, 업면적, 지상부 생육은 alfalfa처리에서 더 억제적 이었으며, 옥수수의 생육은 vetch 처리에서 촉진 되었다. 3. Alfalfa와 vetch처리가 모두 콩 뿌리혹의 형성을 억제시켰는데 alfalfa처리가 vetch의 처리보다 뿌리혹의 형성을 더 억제 시켰다. 4. Alfalfa와 vetch의 추출물과 잔기의 처리는 옥수수보다는 콩의 발아와 생육에 더 억제적으로 작용하므로 콩 재배의 경우에는 이들 잔기의 관리가 필요하다고 생각되어진다.

본 연구는 수분함유량이 많아 장기간의 보관이 어려운 아이스플랜트의 저장성을 높이기 위하여 발효하였을 경우, triglyceride, cholesterol 합성 및 tyrosinase 활성 등의 변화를 조사하였다. 유기산의 함량은 발효 후에는 lactic acid가 $23.672{\pm}3.74mg/g$으로 가장 많았으며 malic acid, acetic acid citric acid의 순이었다. 발효 전 후의 cyclitol 화합물의 변화를 보면, D-pinitol은 각각 $6.670{\pm}0.187mg/g$과 $5.541{\pm}0.088mg/g$으로 감소하였으나, myo-inositol은 $0.653{\pm}0.022mg/g$과 $3.848{\pm}0.216mg/g$, D-chiro-inositol은 $3.848{\pm}0.216mg/g$과 $4.945{\pm}0.098mg/g$으로 증가하였다. HepG2 세포 내 중성지방의 감소율은 발효 전 후에 각각 $3.04{\pm}1.70{\sim}35.73{\pm}5.06%$와 $5.13{\pm}0.90{\sim}53.32{\pm}1.79%$로서 발효 후 저해효과가 약간 높게 나타났으며, 대체로 극성이 큰 n-butanol과 aqueous 분획에서는 각각 $25.93{\pm}1.47{\sim}35.73{\pm}5.06%$과 $26.26{\pm}2.07{\sim}53.32{\pm}1.79%$로서 발효 후에 비교적 큰 폭으로 중성지방의 축적을 저해하였다. HepG2 세포 내 콜레스테롤의 감소율도 발효 전 후에 각각 $4.02{\pm}1.50{\sim}56.34{\pm}5.55%$와 $6.56{\pm}1.46{\sim}64.52{\pm}5.50%$ 정도로서 발효 후에 콜레스테롤의 합성 저해효과가 약간 크게 나타났다. 특히 처리농도가 $100{\mu}g/ml$ 이상에서 n-hexane, chloroform 및 ethylacetate 분획에서는 발효 전 후에 각각 $8.15{\pm}0.60{\sim}9.16{\pm}0.71%$와 $9.81{\pm}1.26{\sim}12.96{\pm}0.97%$로서 저해효과가 크지 않았으나, n-butanol과 aqueous 분획에서는 발효 전 후에 각각 $28.68{\pm}0.86{\sim}56.34{\pm}5.55%$와 $28.32{\pm}2.87{\sim}64.52{\pm}5.50%$로서 비교적 큰 폭으로 콜레스테롤의 합성을 저해하였다. Tyrosinase 활성억제효과도 발효 후에 약간 증가하는 경향이었다. 기질로서 L-tyrosine을 사용하였을 경우, 극성이 큰 aqueous 분획에서 발효 전 후에 각각 $60.58{\pm}4.035$와 $63.35{\pm}4.35%$로서 저해활성이 가장 높았으며, 양성대조군(arbutin, $100{\mu}g/ml$)의 72%에 달하는 활성이었다. 또한 기질로서 L-DOPA을 사용하였을 경우에도 aqueous 분획에서 발효 전 후에 각각 $56.85{\pm}1.57%$와 $59.38{\pm}1.74%$로서 저해활성이 가장 높았으며 양성대조군(kojic acid, $100{\mu}g/ml$)의 88% 이상의 높은 활성을 가지고 있었다. 전체적으로 발효 아이스플랜트의 중성지방 및 콜레스테롤 합성억제 효과, tyrosinase 활성억제효과는 대체로 발효 전에 비하여 다소 향상되었다. 특히 극성이 큰 용매의 분획추출물에서 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 발효 등의 다양한 가공방법이 개발되어 저장성과 활용도가 높아질 수 있는 계기가 되기를 기대한다.

Objective: Orthosiphon pallidus (O. pallidus), which belongs to the Lamiaceae family, is a popular garden plant that is widely used for the treatment of various diseases, such as urinary lithiasis, fever, hepatitis, cancer and jaundice. The objective of the present work was to investigate the antioxidant free-radical scavenging and the anticancer activities of O. pallidus against human breast-cancer cell lines. Methods: The antioxidant activity of Orthosiphon pallidus aqueous extract (OPAE) was investigated using different models, such as the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and the 2, 2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) models, as were the $Fe^+$ chelation, the hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical scavenging, and total reducing power activities. The anticancer activities of the extract were determined by using the 3-(4, 5- dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and the sulforhodamine (SRB) assays on the MCF-7 and the MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines. Results: The aqueous Orthosiphon pallidus extract showed potent activity in in-vitro models. It significantly inhibited the scavenging of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, but induced a remarkable $Fe^+$ chelation activity. For both cell lines, the percent cytotoxicity was found to increase steadily with increasing OPAE concentration up to $240{\mu}g/mL$. Conclusion: These results suggest that Orthosiphon pallidus has excellent antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities against human breast-cancer cell lines.

Ethanol and butanol fractionation of E. senticosus showed strong anti-oxidant activity, and methanol and water extracts also had high anti-oxidant activity. The anti-oxidant activities in ethanol and butanol fractionation were higher than or similar to those of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. The cytotoxic effect of root extract of E. senticosus was evaluated on seven different human cancer cell lines, The extracts of leaf and stem of E. senticosus also had strong antioxidant activity, but the antioxidant activity in root extract was higher than those in leaf and stem extracts. Methanol, hexane, and aqueous fraction layer had much higher inhibitory activities on lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes compared with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. The effect of root extract of E. senticosus was evaluated on six human cancer cell lines. The values of 50% growth inhibition $(GI_{50})$ for the extracts were mostly below $30{\mu}g/ml$, and the extracts are considered as active inhibitory compounds on cancer cells.

Objectives: Moroccan Arbutus unedo is an essential medicinal plant; however, little is known about the biological properties of its leaves mentioned in Moroccan traditional medicine. Methods: Various standard experiments were performed to evaluate the phytochemical, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antibacterial, and acute and sub-chronic toxicity characteristics of A. unedo leaves. Results: Phytochemical screening led to the identification of several phytochemical classes, including tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and anthraquinones, with high concentrations of polyphenols (31.83 ± 0.29 mg GAEs/g extract) and flavonoids (16.66 ± 1.47 mg REs/g extract). Further, the mineral analysis revealed high levels of calcium and potassium. A. unedo extract demonstrated significant antioxidant and anti-diabetic activities by inhibiting α-amylase (1.350 ± 0.32 g/mL) and α-glucosidase (0.099 ± 1.21 g/mL) compared to the reference drug Acarbose. Also, the methanolic extract of the plant exhibited significantly higher antibacterial activity than the aqueous extract. Precisely, three of the four examined bacterial strains exhibited substantial susceptibility to the methanolic extract . Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values indicated that A. unedo harbor abundant bactericidal compounds. For toxicological studies, mice were administered with A. unedo aqueous extract at single doses of 2,000 and 5,000 mg/kg. They did not exhibit significant abnormal behavior, toxic symptoms, or death during the 14-day acute toxicity test and the 90-day sub-chronic toxicity test periods. The general behavior, body weight, and hematological and biochemical status of the rats were assessed, revealing no toxicological symptoms or clinically significant changes in biological markers observed in the mice models, except hypoglycemia, after 90 days of daily dose administration. Conclusion: The study highlighted several biological advantages of A. unedo leaves without toxic effects in short-term application. Our findings suggest that conducting more comprehensive and extensive in vivo investigations is of utmost importance to identify molecules that can be formulated into pharmaceuticals in the future.

Euphorbia hirta, locally called 'ara tanah' or 'susun nabi' in Malaysia is a small annual herb common to the tropical countries and belongs to the same family as the tic and tapioca. E. hirta has had a long history of usage in the treatment of various ailments. In this current study, in vitro sensitivity test of crude aqueous and ethanol extracts of leaves and barks of E. hirta was carried out against bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylocccus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and fungi (Microsporum canis, Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis) using the discs diffusion method. The extract-impregnated discs (20, 40 and $80\;{\mu}g/{\mu}l$), the E. hirta extracts inhibited the growth of all the bacteria tested. The growth of C. albicans was inhibited in a concentration dependent manner by the aqueous leaves and barks extracts. C. tropicalis was found to be sensitive to the aqueous leaves extracts. The results were compared to antibacterial drugs of chloramphenicol, ampicilin, penicillin G, and enrofloxacine; and to antifungal drug of ketoconazole, itraconazole and miconazole. In this current study, it can be concluded that this plant has antimicrobial activity that is as potent as the standard antimicrobial drugs against certain microorganisms.

This study was carried out to investigate whether Chrysanthermum zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura (C. zawadskii) extracts has an inhibitory effect against the mutagenicity by cigarette smoke condensates (CSC). C. zawadskii was extracted with 70% ethanol and the yield was 18.5%. We further fractioned 70% ethanol extract sequentially to diethylether, chloroform, dichloromethane, and aqueous water, and gained the yield of 17.5%, 5.6%, 5.8%, 32.8% and 35.5%, respectively. In the Ames test, there was no mutagenic effect of crude extract and its solvent fractions up to 2 mg/plate toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 with or without S-9 mix metabolic activations. On the contrary, the crude extract showed an inhibitory activity against the mutagenicity of CSC in the presence of S-9 mix metabolic activation. Diethyl ether layer among five solvent fractions showed the highest inhibitory activity. The inhibitory activity of diethyl ether fraction was also increased in a dose-dependent manner and the inhibitory rate was about 97.7% at the concentration of 1 mg/plate. In this study, we conclude that crude extract of C. zawadskii itself is potentially safe for mutagenicity, and the diethyl ether fraction has an inhibitory effect against the mutagenicity of CSC.
