Hawthorn fruit is a conventional medicine used in treating cardiovascular diseases. Its therapeutic effects may relate to its antioxidant compounds. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant activity of $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, n-butanol and water fractions from 70% methanolic hawthorn fruit extract by total phenolic and flavonoid contents, total antioxidant activity, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, superoxide radical scavenging activity, reducing power assay, lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity and protective effect against hydroxyl-radical-induced DNA damage. Results showed that the EtOAc fraction contained significantly greater antioxidant activities than other fractions, which suggests that the potent EtOAc fraction should be used for further studies to identify the antioxidant compounds.

The quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) study of antioxidative anthocyanidins and their glycosides were evaluated using 4 different assays of Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), superoxide radical ($O_2^{{\cdot}-}$), hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), and peroxynitrite radical ($ONOO^-$) scavenging with TSAR software. Four models were developed with significant predictive values ($r^2$ and p value), which indicated that the antioxidant activities were mainly governed by the 3-dimensional structural energy (torsional energy), constitutional properties (the number of hydroxyl and methyl groups), and electrostatic properties (heat of formation, and dipole, quadrupole, and octupole components). This QSAR approach could contribute to a better understanding of structural properties of anthocyanidins and their glycosides that are responsible for their antioxidant activities. It might also be useful in predicting the antioxidant activities of other anthocyanins.

본 연구는 약용 버섯으로 쓰이는 구름버섯을 ethyl acetate, ethanol 및 methanol 등으로 추출하고 각 추출용매에 따른 구름버섯 추출물로부터 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정하였으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 ABTS 라디칼소거능 등의 항산화 활성 및 항균 활성을 조사하였다. 구름버섯의 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량은 ethyl acetate와 ethanol 추출물에서 methanol 추출물보다 높게 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 methanol 추출물이 대조구로 사용한 1 mM ascorbic acid의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 유사한 약 80% 소거능을 보여주었으며, ethanol 추출물과 ethyl acetate 추출물보다 유의적으로 높았다. ABTS 라디칼 소거능은 모든 추출물에서 ascorbic acid의 활성과 유사한 약 90% 소거능이 측정되었다. 결과적으로 추출용매의 종류에 따라 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 영향을 받지만, ABTS 라디칼은 극성 및 비극성 물질 모두와 반응하여 소거되므로 추출용매의 영향 없이 높은 ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 나타내었다. 그리고 구름버섯의 항균 활성 측정 결과 모든 추출물에서 S. aureus를 제외한 모든 균주에 대한 활성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 다양한 다제내성 균주에 대한 구름버섯의 항균활성은 구름버섯이 천연 항균 소재로서의 가능성이 있음을 보여주는 의미 있는 결과이다. 또한 DPPH 라디칼과 ABTS 라디칼 소거능이 ascorbic acid와 같이 높은 항산화능을 보임으로써 구름버섯이 천연 항산화제로서 이용 가치가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이렇게 항균 및 항산화 활성을 동시에 나타내는 구름버섯은 향후 분야별 허용 추출용매를 이용하여 추출방법 및 추출조건 등을 일부 변형한다면 건강기능성 식품 및 화장품 등에 첨가 가능한 원료소재로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The objective of this study was to optimize the conditions for enhancing the antioxidant properties of sword bean (Canavalia gladiata) as a coffee substitute in two processing methods, roasting and grinding. The optimum conditions for removing off-flavor of the bean and maximizing functionality and efficiency were light roasting and cryogenic grinding (< 53 ㎛). In these conditions, extraction yield was 16.75%, total phenolic content (TPC) was 69.82 ± 0.35 mg gallic acid equivalents/g, and total flavonoid content (TFC) was 168.81 ± 1.64 mg quercetin equivalents/100 g. The antioxidant properties were 77.58 ± 0.27% for DPPH radical scavenging activity and 58.02 ± 0.76 mg Trolox equivalents/g for ABTS radical scavenging activity. The values for TFC and ABTS radical scavenging activity were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in other conditions, and TPC and DPPH radical scavenging activity were second highest in lightly roasted beans, following raw beans. HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis confirmed that the amino acids and carbohydrates, which are the main components of sword bean, were condensed into other volatile flavor compounds, such as derivatives of furan, pyrazine, and pyrrole during roasting. Roasted and cryogenically ground (cryo-ground) sword beans showed higher functionality in terms of TFC, DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging activities compared to those of coffee. Overall results showed that light roasting and cryogenic grinding are the most suitable processing conditions for enhancing the bioactivity of sword beans.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of O. robusta stem extract (ORE) and to determine the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Free radical scavenging properties were evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), and ·OH (hydroxyl radical) scavenging assays. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods, respectively. Active compounds of ORE were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results of the study showed that ORE exhibited DPPH, ABTS, and ·OH radical scavenging activities in a dose-dependent manner. Especially, 1,000 ㎍/mL of ORE showed the strongest radical scavenging properties against DPPH, ABTS, and ·OH. ORE contained total polyphenol content of 57.4 mg GAE/g and total flavonoid content of 5.4 mg QE/g, which may contribute to their antioxidant effects. As a result of HPLC, the contents of active compounds in ORE, dihydrokaempferol (0.65 ㎍/mL), and 3-O-methylquercetin (1.10 ㎍/mL) were confirmed. In conclusion, ORE may be useful as a functional material with antioxidant properties.

The rhizome of Phragmites communis Trin. is used for vomiting and belching by clearing stomach and the sprout is used as tea. Phragmites japonica is similar with P. communis except the color of sheath is purple. This study is aimed to compare the in vitro antioxidant activity, total polyphenol and flavonoids contents of P. communis and P. japonica. The antioxidant activities of fractions from the two Phragmites plants were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay. The antioxidant activity varied with plant parts and extract solvents. The fractions of leaf extract from the two Phragmites plants (4.06±1.32-16.47±1.28%) showed higher antioxidant activity by DPPH assay compared with rhizome fractions of two Phragmites plants (0.00±0.00-14.15±0.07%), these are lower compared with ascorbic acid and butylhydroxyanisole (BHA). The highest ABTS radical scavenging activity was found for rhizome ether fraction, namely 74.95±0.56% and 73.04±1.85% for P. communis and P. japonica, these are higher than BHA. The total polyphenol and flavonoids contents were different with plant parts and extract solvents, likewise antioxidant activity. A significant correlation was shown between DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Considering the results of this study, the leaves and stems of P. communis and P. japonica are expected to be used as natural antioxidants.

Two different NokJoongTangs were prepared by boiling antler and various oriental medicinal materials. The phenolic contents and free radical scavenging effects against DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical and hydroxyl radical of the NokJoongTangs which are used as the health supplement foods, were investigated. NokJoongTang-II prepared dried antler with various oriental medicinal materials, had higher phenolic content than that of NokJoongTang-I prepared 1mm raw antler with the same materials. In addition, NokJoongTang-II exhibited higher scavenging activities than these of NokJoongTang-I against DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical. These result indicate that free radical scavenging activity of NokJoongTang showed a difference by using raw and dry antler for NokJoongTang preparation, and that the findings also show a positive correlation between radical scavenging activity and total phenolic contents.

The authors isolated four olefinic catechols, commonly referred to as urushiol, from the sap of Korean lacquer tree(Rhus vernicifera STOKES) with stronger antioxidative activities than $\alpha-tocopherol$. The hexane extract with a free radical scavenging activity was purified by silica and ODS gel column chromatography. The active compounds were identified by MS and $^1H-NMR$ as 3-[8'(Z),11'(Z),14'-pentadecatrienyl]catechol, 3-[8'(Z),11'(Z)-pentadecadienyl]catechol, 3-[8'(Z)-pentadecenyl] catechol, and 3-pentadecylcatechol. All of these compounds showed strong free radical scavenging activities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical, in which 3-pentadecylacatechol exhibited the highest activity ($IC_{50}$: $1.2{\mu}g/ml$). They also showed a significant inhibitory activity on lipid peroxidation ($IC_{50}$: 2.1 - 3.5 ${\mu}g/ml$). The antioxidative activity of 3-pentadecylcatechol on DPPH radical and lipid peroxidation is approximately two times greater than that of $\alpha$-tocopherol. The results suggest that the urushiol derivatices may contribute to the preservative characteristics effective against oxidative stress and could be a good source for industrial applications including a coating material.

곰취(Ligularia fischeri, GC), 고추잎(Capsicum annuum L., GCY), 취나물(Aster scaber, CNM), 머위대(Petasites japonicus S. et Z. Max, MYD) 및 고구마순(Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam), GGM)과 같은 산채들의 물 추출물의 항산화능력을 평가하고 이들 동결건조 블록 물 추출물들의 항산화력과 비교하였다. 산채 물 추출물들과 그들의 동결건조 블록물 추출물들의 항산화력 측정은 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical 소거작용, hydroxyl radical 소거작용 및 아질산염 소거작용과 같은 방법에 의해 알아보았다. 산채 물 추출물은 그들의 동결건조 물 추출물보다 총 페놀함량이 더 높았다. GC, GCY, CNM, MYD 그리고 GGM 물추출물들의 총 페놀 함량은 각각 $471.66{\pm}3.52\;{\mu}g/mg,\;141.33{\pm}2.51\;{\mu}g/mg,\;177.33{\pm}2.88\;{\mu}g/mg,\;238.66{\pm}9.50\;\mu}g/mg\;그리고\;122.67{\pm}3.51\;{\mu}g/mg$이었다. 1000 ppm GC, GCY, CNM 그리고 GGM 물 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거작용은 그들의 동결건조 블록 물 추출물보다 더 높았고, 1000 ppm CNM, GC, GCY, MYD 그리고 GGM의 물 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거작용은 각각 90.9%, 89.9%, 76.6%, 71.1% 그리고 57.4%였다. 10000 ppm GC, GCY, CNM, MYD 그리고 GGM 물 추출물들은 hydroxyl radical 소거작용을 각각 38.8%, 33.4%, 35.9%, 34.3% 그리고 33.8%까지 증가시켰고, GCY, CNM 그리고 GGM의 물 추출물은 동결건조 블록 물 추출물과 유사한 활성을 나타내었으나 GC와 MYD의 물 추출물이이들 동결건조 블록들의 물 추출물의 hydroxyl radical 소거작용보다 약간 더 영향력이 있었다. 산채 물 추출물들과 이들 동결건조 블록 물 추출물들은 실험된 모든 농도에서 DPPH radical 소거작용 및 hydroxyl radical 소거작용을 나타내었다. GC 물 추출물의 아질산염 소거작용은 현저하게 농도 의존적으로 증가하였고, GC 물 추출물의 아질산염 소거작용이 그것의 동결건조 블록 물 추출물의 아질산염 소거작용보다 높았다. 이상의 결과들로부터 동결건조블록이 산채와 비교하여 산채가 가지고 있는 항산화력을 유지하고 있다는 것을 알수 있었다.
