In order to examine oxidative stress of reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant effect of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) extract, human skin melanoma cells were treated with various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$). Antioxidant effect of CRP extract on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity, cell viability, DPPH-radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. In this study, $H_2O_2$ decreased cell viability of cultured human skin melanoma cells in dose- and time-dependent manners, and then, midcytotoxicity value (MCV) was determined at $60\;{\mu}M$ after human skin melanoma cells were cultured for 5 hours in the media containing $20{\sim}60\;{\mu}M$ of $H_2O_2$, respectively. The $H_2O_2$ was on cultured human skin melanoma cells because MCV of $H_2O_2$ was lower than $100\;{\mu}M$. In the antioxidant effect of CRP extract, CRP extract increased cell viability DPPH-radical scavenging activity and SOD-like activity. From these results, it is suggested that $H_2O_2$ was very toxic on cultured human skin melanoma cells. And also, CRP extract has the antioxidant effect on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity.

We investigated the antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of the methanol extracts from Korean folk plants (MKs) in Chungcheong Province. Among 30 MKs, 16 plants at $100{\mu}g/ml$ showed over 90% scavenging activity of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazy (DPPH) and 30 plants exerted the hydroxyl radical scavenging effect over 55%. Fourteen plants at the concentration $50{\mu}g/30{\mu}l$ showed strong microbial inhibition activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with clear zone greater than 11 mm in disc assays. Furthermore, the protective effect against anti-inflammatory system using RAW 264.7 macrophage cell was also studied. The treatment of LPS & INF-${\gamma}$ to RAW 264.7 cell induced nitric oxide (NO), however inhibit the formation of NO less than 50% of 5 plants. The present result indicates that the 30 species of MKs exerts protective effect of oxidative stress, antimicrobial activities and anti-inflammatory. In particular, Rhus javanica and Cornus controversa showed stronger effect on not only radical scavenging activity and inhibits growth of S. aureus but also highest protective effects from inflammation.

This study was conducted to investigate the physiological activity of acai berry (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) extracts from three different solvents (water, methanol, and ethanol). We measured total polyphenol and total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, nitrite scavenging activity, metal chelating effect, and reducing power. The extraction yield from water, methanol, and ethanol was 17.10, 9.50, and 37.51%, respectively. The highest total polyphenol content (10.54 mg/100 g) and total flavonoid contents (1.88 mg/100 g) was observed in water extract. DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in both water extract (72.03%) and methanol extract (74.79%) at levels of 5 mg/mL, which was similar to that of BHT (78.90%). Water extract yielded the highest metal chelating effect (92.54%) and reducing power (1.09) at levels of 5 mg/mL. Taken together, these findings suggest that extracts of acai berry can be used as functional food materials with antioxidative and nitrite scavenging activities.

Scavenging effects of DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical, inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation, inhibition of NO synthesis and iNOS expression were tested with extracts and chromatographic subfractions of Canavalia lineata obtained at Jeju island. Chloroform extract and its subfractions gave moderate effects on scavenging DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical, They also inhibited linoleic acid oxidation, and NO synthesis. Inhibition of NO synthesis resulted from the repression of iNOS gene expression. Ethyl acetate extract and its subfractions showed excellent effects on scavenging DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical, while they were cytotoxic.

제주재래종 감귤류 10종에 대해서 수확시기별 총 폴리페놀 함량과 활성산소종 소거활성 변화를 조사하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 지각과 홍귤이 미숙과인 8월 하순과 9월 하순에 200 mg% 내외로 가장 높았고 대부분의 감귤종이 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 수확시기별 감귤과피의 superoxide anion radical 소거활성은 홍귤과 지각에서 60% 이상으로 가장 높았고 사두감이 가장 낮은 활성을 보였으며 홍귤과 지각을 제외한 감귤류의 수확시기별 차이는 크지 않았다. Hydrogen peroxide 소거활성은 8월 하순에 사두감이 73.8%로 가장 높은 소거활성을 나타내었고 그 다음에 지각이 거의 70%의 소거활성을 보였으며, 대부분의 감귤종이 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Hydroxy radical 소거활성은 대부분의 재래감귤종의 과피에서 비교적 높은 활성을 보였으며 지각과 당유자가 8월 하순에 각각 75.1%와 74.6%로 가장 높은 소거활성을 보였고, 그 외 감귤종도 60% 이상의 소거능을 보였으며 수확시기별 차이는 거의 없었다. 감귤이 성숙됨에 따라 hydrogen peroxide 소거능, superoxide anion 라디칼 소거능은 감소하는 경향을 보이나 nitric oxide 라디칼 소거활성은 증가하는 추세를 보였고, 병귤이 58.4%로 가장 활성이 높았으며 다른 활성산소종에서 활성이 높았던 사두감, 지각, 당유자가 활성이 가장 낮았다. 본 실험결과 제주재래종 감귤 중 특히 지각이 대부분의 활성산소종에 높은 소거활성을 보였으며, 이에 대한 구체적인 연구가 진행될 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the radical scavenging activity and protective effect of ethanol extract from leaf of Engelhardtia chrysolepis HANCE (ECE) against oxidative stress were investigated under in vitro and cellular system. ECE showed strong radical scavenging activities in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl(${\cdot}OH$) and nitric oxide(NO) radical as a concentration-dependent manner. Particularly, strong scavenging activity against the ${\cdot}OH$ and NO radical were observed with the $IC_{50}$ value of $1.30{\mu}g/ml$ and $12.61{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Furthermore, the cellular oxidative stress was induced by amyloid beta($A{\beta}_{25-35}$) in C6 glial cells. The treatment of $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ to C6 glial cells generated high levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS) and declined cell viability. However, production of ROS was decreased by the treatment of ECE. In addition, the cell viability was significantly increased at each concentration(10, 25, $50{\mu}g/ml$) as dose-dependent manner. The Alzheimer's disease-related protein expressions in $A{\beta}_{25-35}$-treated C6 glial cells were analyzed. The ECE treatment inhibited expression of amyloid precursor protein(APP), C-terminal fragment-${\beta}(CTF-{\beta})$, ${\beta}$-site APP cleaving enzyme(BACE), phosphorylated tau(p-tau) proteins in C6 glial cells induced by $A{\beta}_{25-35}$. The present study indicated that ECE has strong radical scavenging activity and neuroprotective effect through attenuating oxidative stress.

This study was executed to evaluate the immune activity, nitrite scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity against extracts of various concentration of ethanol solvent from Codonopsis lanceolata cultured at 6 local regions. The immune responses from both human T and B cell line was significantly enhanced in the cell growth compared to control while the cell growth was influenced at a certain period of culture. The results revealed that the cell growth of both human T and B cell was altered in a time dependent manner. The nitrite scavenging activity of ethanol extracts from various solvent concentration of C. lanceolata were affected by pH. At a pH of 1.2, the nitrite scavenging effect of all of the extracts tested observed higher than that of the other two pH ranges. There was no distinct detection of nitrite scavenging effects of the pH range 6.0. The ABTS radical scavenging activity was progressively increased in a dose-dependent manner, and the activity was the highest in 100% ethanol extract. The result from this investigation suggests that the extract of Codonopsis lanceolata could be an addition to basic medicine for immune modulation and natural food additives.

In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of supercritical extracts and two step ethanol extracts after supercritical extraction from Schizandra chinensis on antioxidant activities and oxidative DNA and cell damages. Supercritical extracts removed DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryldrazyl) radical by 85.5% at 200 ${\mu}g$/ml, but showed low activities of scavenging and chelating the hydroxyl radical and ferrous iron. However, two step ethanol extracts showed low activities of scavenging the DPPH radical, but removed the hydroxyl radical by 86% at 200 ${\mu}g$/ml. In addition, we tested the activities of extracts for reducing hydroxyl radical-induced DNA and cell damage. Two step ethanol extracts showed protective effect against the oxidative DNA damage by reducing DNA segmentation, inhibiting DNA migration and decreasing the expression of phospho-H2AX. Also, two step ethanol extracts showed protective effect against the oxidative cell damage by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and increasing the expression of p21 protein. Taken together, we suggest that two step ethanol extracts from S. chinensis have a role as useful inhibitors against oxidative damages.
