In vaccine development, the major points may be induction of effective and increased levels of antibody production. This is especially the case when the antigenic sources are carbohydrates. For many years, thus, we have researched various types of formulations such as liposomal and conjugate vaccines. However, the fastidious formulation process and high costs are a problem. For this reason, there is currently a focus on utilizing immunoadjuvants. In this present study, we tested if platycodin D (PLD) from Platycodon Radix have immunoadjuvant activity against the cell wall of Candida albicans (CACW). The resulting data showed that in the murine model of antibody production, CACW combined with PLD [CACW/PLD/IFA] increased the production of antibodies specific to C. albicans when compared to the antibody production by [CACW/IFA]-induction, which was used as a negative control (P<0.05). In the case of [CACW/PLD/IFA], the antibody production was 1.4 times as that of the CFA. In addition, formulations containing either had a prolonged antibody inducing activity maintaining the initial titers of antibody as compared to the CFA formula. Cytokine profiling with the antisera displayed that the PLD produced both Th1 and Th2 immunoresponses, but Th1 dominant was much greater (P<0.05). Furthermore, [CACW/PLD/IFA] formula enhanced resistance of mice against disseminated candidiasis, whereas the CFA had no such effect. In conclusion, PLD has an immunologic activity, which is protective against the disease. Thus, PLD can be a goof candidate for a new immunoadjuvant in development of the fungal vaccine.

A 1, 2-diglyceride-based multi-step colorimetric assay to measure the pancreatic lipase activity was applied for the determination of the kinetic profiles of the lipase inhibition with a slight modification and the validity verification. With this assay method, our study revealed that platycodin D, one of major constituents of Platycodi Radix, inhibits the pancreatic lipase activity in a competitive type, with the value of $K_I$ being 0.18${\pm}$0.02 mM. In addition, PD has affected the values of $K_{m,app}\;and\;K_{cat}/K_m$ in a dose- dependent manner. The results shed a meaningful light on how PD mediates lipid metabolism in the intestinal tracts. On the other hand, since the revised assay is sensitive, rapid, and does not affect the accuracy to the kinetic properties, it is applicable not only to evaluation of the kinetic properties of the pancreatic lipase, but also to highthroughput screening of pancreatic lipase activity.

급성 위궤양은 위점막에서 세포증식과 세포사멸의 불균형으로 발병되어진다. 현재 Platycodin D (PD)는 항산화 및 항염증 등의 다양한 약리효능을 가진다고 보고되고 있다. 본 실험은 ibuprofen에 의해 유발된 급성 위궤양이 전처치한 PD에 의해 위궤양 보호효과를 가지는 가를 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. PD의 효능은 위점막에서의 COX-2의 발현과 더불어 위점막상피세포의 증생과 세포사멸정도에 의해서 평가하였다. 실험군은 정상대조군, ibuprofen 유발 위궤양군, 2.5 mg/kg PD 전처치군, 5 mg/kg PD 전처치군으로 분류하였다. 급성위궤양은 200 mg/kg의 ibuprofen을 하루에 3번 8시간 간격으로 경구 투여하여 유발하였다. PD는 5일간 경구로 하루에 한 번씩 전처치하였다. PD의 전처치가 ibuprofen에 의해 유발된 위궤양 병변을 유의적으로 감소시켰으며 과도한 위점액 분비로 인한 점액질의 소실을 억제하였다. 또한 PD 전처치가 위점막의 상피세포증식층에서 Ki-67 양성세포의 감소 및 세포사멸을 억제하였다. 추가적으로 PD의 전처치가 위궤양에 의해 증가된 COX-2 발현을 감소시켰다. 이상의 연구결과는 PD의 전처치가 ibuprofen에 의해 유발된 위점막손상에 있어 COX-2의 발현조절을 통하여 위점막세포의 증식과 사멸에 관여할 것으로 보여진다.

A rapid and practical HPLC assay was developed for quantitative analysis of saponins in Platycodi Radix. Seven saponin components in Platycodi Radix, i.e., deapioplatycoside E, platycoside E, deapioplatycodin D$_3$, platycodin D$_3$, polygalacin D$_2$, platycodin D$_2$ and platycodin D were successfully resolved on C18 column and detected by ELSD. Standard curves were linear over the concentration range 1 ${\sim}$2,000 ${\mu}$g/ml (r$^2$>0.992). Intra- and inter-day coefficients for variation of seven saponin components were < 10% and limit of quantification of them were around 0.7${\sim}$1.5 ${\mu}$g/ml, respectively. Using this method, contents of seven saponins in various plant materials under different cultivating conditions were estimated.

Background: Platycodin D (PD), a triterpenoid saponin isolated from the Chinese medicinal herb Platycodonis radix, possesses anti-cancer effects in several cancer cell lines. The aim of this study was to evaluate its anticancer activities in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Materials and Methods: MTT and colony formation assays were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, along with flow cytometry and Western blotting for apoptosis. Cell adhesion was tested by observing cellular morphology under a microscope, while the transwell assay was employed to investigate the cell migration and invasion. Results: PD concentration-dependently inhibited cell proliferation in both HepG2 and Hep3B cells, and significantly suppressed colony formation and induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. The protein levels of cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) and Bax were up-regulated while that of survivin was down-regulated after treatment with PD. Moreover, PD not only obviously suppressed the adhesion of HepG2 cells to Matrigel, but also remarkably depressed their migration and invasion induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Conclusions: PD presents anti-cancer potential in hepatocellular carcinoma cells via inducing apoptosis, and inhibiting cell adhesion, migration and invasion, indicating promising features as a lead compound for anti-cancer agent development.

도라지 건조 온도에 대한 기본 정보를 제공하고자 건조 온도에 따른 환원당 그리고 사포닌 함량을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. Sucrose 함량은 $85^{\circ}C$에서 3,825 mg% $45^{\circ}C$에서 1,226 mg%로 건조 온도가 낮을수록 감소하였지만, glucose함량은 건조 온도가 높을수록 감소하였다. 본 시험에서 분석한 도라지 4종의 사포닌 중에 platycodin D 함량은 $85^{\circ}C$에서 197.5 mg%, $65^{\circ}C$에서는 334.7 mg%로 $45^{\circ}C$에서 956.0 mg%로 가장 높게 나타나 건조 온도가 낮을수록 증가하였으며, 고온(85) 건조에서 사포닌 중 polygalacin D의 함량이 가장 많았다. Sucrose와 사포닌 함량 간의 상관계수는 각각$-0.987^{**}$로 고도의 음의 상관을 보였다(p<0.01). 건조 온도 $45^{\circ}C$가 다른 건조 온도에 비해 색이 밝게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통하여 도라지의 건조 온도가 도라지의 사포닌 함량과 당 함량에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 도라지의 이용 용도에 따라 건조 온도를 달리 할 필요성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The capability of the solvents for extracting the bioactive saponins from the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum (Campanulaceae) was investigated to obtain an ideal extract which contained bioactive saponins with high quality and high quantity. The content of eight representative saponins in extracts, such as deapioplatycoside E, platycoside E, platyconic acid A and platycodin D, platycodin $D_3$, platycodin $D_2$, polygalacin $D_2$, polygalacin D were analyzed simultaneousely by the modified HPLC analytical method. The validation test of the modified qualitative and quantitative analytical method employing the ELSD equipped HPLC for eight representative saponins in the roots extract of P. grandiflorum showed a good linearity, precision and accuracy. the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) values of the calbration curves for each saponins were observed to be over 0.9990. LOD and LOQ of each saponin was calculated as $0.10{\mu}g{\sim}0.40{\mu}g$ (LOD) and $0.40{\mu}g{\sim}0.80{\mu}g$ (LOQ), respectively. Recovery rates of each saponin were also calculated as over 98%, respectively. With exception of two saponins, platyconic acid A and platycodin D, The content of eight saponins in extracts was decreased proportionally to the increment of the water ratio of solvent for extraction. Consequently, as aquous alcohol was used as a solvent for extracting the saponin components from powdered roots of P. grandiflorum, the water content in the aquous alcohol was seemed to be a critical factor for extracting efficacy. The 60-80% ratio of alcohol in the aquous alcohol were deduced to be suitable and recommendable for the preparation of roots extract of P. grandiflorum which contained saponins with high quality and high quantity.

이 연구는 도라지의 유기재배를 위하여 유기질 비료 시용이 도라지 뿌리의 생육특성 및 사포닌, 항산화 활성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시되었다. 3년근 도라지를 이식하기 전 기비로 화학비료, 유기질비료, 균배양체, 유박 및 퇴비를 시용한 결과, 뿌리의 길이는 화학비료와 유기질 비료 시용구에서 25.3 cm와 24.0 cm로 가장 길었으며, 직경에서도 화학비료 시용구에서 가장 굵은 26.6 mm 나타났다. 지근의 수는 유기질퇴비와 화학비료 시용구에서 가장 많은 20.0개와 17.0개로 조사되었으며, 수량과 관련성이 있는 생체중은 유기질비료 시용구에서 55.7 g으로 가장 높게 나타났다. Platycodin D의 함량은 327.4~373.8 mg/100 g의 범위로 유기질퇴비 시용구에서 높은 값이 나타났으며, 도라지의 총 polyphenol 및 flavonoid 함량은 유기질비료 시용구에서 각각 15.5, 15.3 mg/g 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 도라지의 유기재배시 유기질비료 시용구에서 수량성을 물론, 약리성 증대를 위한 사포닌 함량이 많은 지근의 수와 항산화 성분이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
