The present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity in ethanol and water extracts of root and stem of Sargassum coreanum. Antioxidant activities were evaluated by total polyphenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, chelating effect, reducing power, and rancimat method. Total polyphenol contents of ethanol and water extracts were 32.79 mg/g and 15.55 mg/g, respectively. Ethanol extract showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than water extract and similar activity to BHT. Reducing power of extracts was increased in a concentration-dependent manner and ethanol extract had more reducing power than water extract. Ethanol and water extracts have little chelating effect at all concentrations. Antioxidant index (AI) of ethanol extract measured by Rancimat was higher than that of water extract, but their AI was lower than that of BHT. These results indicate that ethanol extract of S. coreanum root and stem has more potent antioxidant activity than water extract through DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power, and could potentially be used as a good source of natural antioxidants.

The purpose of this study was to reseach the effect of Daesihotang and its component groups on diabetes, free radical and antioxidative defense system in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The experimental group was divided into three groups: Daesihotang (DS), Soyangyak (DS1), Yangmyungyak (DS2). The results were obtained as follows: The level of glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, creatinine in serum were considerablely reduced by Daesihotang. And the level of HDL cholesterol, albumin, total protein in serum were increased by Daesihotang significantly. And the level of BUN has some decreased, but with no significancy. In the study of Daesihotang on free radical scavenging effect in vitro, it has shown that Daesihotang and its components group have significant suppressing effect on peroxidation of linoleic acid on concentration. And in other experiments as scavenging effect of DPPH radical, inhibitory effect of superoxide in xanthine-xanthine oxidase system and inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation reaction by hydroxy radical in $H_2O_2-Fe^{2+}$ system, Daesihatang have some activity, but with no significancy. In the study of Daesihotang on antioxidative defense system in vivo, the activity of GOT and GPT in serum were significantly increased; and the amounts of lipid peroxide in serum was reduced significantly but in liver no significancy. In hepatic catalase activity, Daesihotang has showed significant effect. In the level of hepatic glutathione, Daesihotang increased the amount of glutathione significantly. And in the activity of glutathione-s-transferase, Daesihotang has decreasing effect but has no significancy. These result suggest that Daesihotang has strong effect on diabetes and it is useful to prevent diabetes, but has less effect on peroxidative damage by free radical.

쇠비름 (Portulaca oleracea)의 항산화 효과를 탐색하기 위해 MeOH과 CH$_2$Cl$_2$를 이용해서 추출하여 crude extract를 조제하였다. 그리고 이 조추출물 (crude extract)에 대해 n-hexane, 15% aq. MeOH, EtOAc, n-BuOH, $H_2O$로 순차적으로 용매분획하였다. 쇠비름의 조추출물과 각 분획물들에 대해 DPPH radical 소거능과 마우스 간 균질물 (homogenate)을 이용한 과산화지질 억제능을 측정하였다. 그 결과 쇠비름 조추출물이 DPPH 라디칼에 대한 강한 소거작용과 in vitro 과산화지질 억제효과가 있음이 확인되었다. 조추출물의 DPPH radical 소거효과에 대한 $IC_{50}$/은 53.33 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$로 천연 항산화제인 L-ascorbic acid (1.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)와 a-tocopherol (6.99 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)보다는 약하지만, 합성 항산화제로 널리 사용되고 있는 BHT(87.84 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)보다는 월등히 뛰어난 라디칼 소거능이 관찰되었다. 또한 각 분획물 중 EtOAc와 n-BuOH 분획물의 DPPH라디칼 소거효과가 가장 우수하였다. 마우스 간 균질물(mouse liver homogenate)을 이용한 과산화지질 저해효과에 대해서도 쇠비름 조추출물의 농도의존적인 (0.1 mg/$m\ell$~5 mg/$m\ell$) 상관성이 관찰되었으며, 특히 n-BuOH 분획물은 L-ascorbic acid의 효과와 거의 대등한 것을 나타났다. 이것으로 쇠비름 조추출물이 항산화효과 (in vitro)가 있음이 증명되었으며, 이 항산화활성은 극성이 비교적 큰 화합물들에 의한 것임을 추정할 수 있다. 현재 쇠비름 추출물로부터 항산화활성성분을 분리하기 위한 연구가 진행 중이다.

기능성화장품 소재로 사용하기 위한 후코이단의 특성 및 후코이단 분자량의 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 후코이단은 미역 포자엽에서 추출하였고 접촉글로우방전 전기분해(CGDE)방법에 의해 후코이단 분자량(35~160 kDa)을 조절하였다. 후코이단의 tyrosinase inhibition, 보습력, elastase 활성저해 효과와 항산화력(DPPH assay, radical scavenging)을 측정하여 화장품으로서 가능성을 확인하였다. 후코이단의 보습력은 최고의 보습제 중의 하나인 히아루론산의 보습력보다 높았고, 분자량이 감소함에 따라 보습력이 약간 증가하였다. 주름개선 효과실험인 elastase 활성저해 효과 실험결과 표준 비교물질인 adenosine 보다 높은 elastase 활성저해 효과를 보였다. 최고의 tyrosinase 저해효과, elastase 활성저해 효과, 항산화력(DPPH assay, radical scavenging)을 갖는 후코이단의 분자량은 100 kDa이었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activities of domestic trees grown in Korea. Based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity method, the methanolic extracts of 23 species were screened in order to search for natural antioxidants. Among these species, Acer ginnala, Cotinus coggygria, Acanthopanax koreanum, Thea sinensis and Pinus densiflora showed stronger antioxidative activity comparing with reference compound, ascorbic acid.

To investigate the protective effect of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) and its active compound, delphinidin, we used in vitro and cellular system. The active fraction from eggplant, BuOH fraction, showed protective effect from hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in WI-38 fibroblast cells. It suggests that eggplant would have the protective activity from radical-induced oxidative damage and its BuOH fraction would play the crucial role with antioxidative activity. In addition, delphinidin, the active compound from eggplant, exerted the strong 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging effect with $IC_{50}$ value of 6.59 ${\mu}g/mL$. Furthermore, the cellular oxidative stress was induced by 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) in LLC-$PK_1$ cells, while treatment of delphinidin atteunated AAPH-induced oxidative stress as dose-dependent manner. The present study suggests the antioxidative activity of eggplant and delphinidin against free radical-induced oxidative stress.

본 연구에서는 이미 항산화 효과로 알려져 있는 대두와 약성이 탁월한 약콩에서 AChE 활성 억제효과와 Free radical scavenger 효과를 노화로 인한 질병 예방효과에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 1. 대두 열탕 추출물의 경우 저농도인 1, 0.1 mg/$m\ell$에서는AChE의 활성 억제 효과가 메탄을 추출물보다 높았다. (P<0.001) 2. 대두, 약콩 메탄올 추출물에서는 고농도인 5 mg/$m\ell$에서 각 시료의 효과가 62.0$\pm$2.43%, 65.0$\pm$3.29%로 비슷했으나 저농도인 0.1 mg/$m\ell$에서는 약콩의 경우 25.5$\pm$0.94%로 약콩이 대두에 비해 유의적인 AChE 억제효과를 나타냈다. (p<0.001) 3. 시간에 따른 Free radical scavenger효과는 비타민 C의 경우 시간에 따라 비슷한 효과를 보였으나 대두와 약콩은 incubating 시간에 따라 free radical 억제효과가 증가해 높은 항산화 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 4. 대두, 약콩 메탄올 추출물에서는 약콩이 고농도인 5mg/$m\ell$에서 약4배 정도의 효과를 보였으며 Free radical scavenger의 50%효과를 나타내는 $IC_{50}$/에서는 약 10배 정도로 높은 Free radical scavenger 효과를 나타내 약콩이 대두에 비해 유의적으로 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로, 대두와 약콩의 추출물은 AChE 활성억제효과에 있어서 좋은 효과를 나타내며 또한 노화의 원인과 질병의 원인이 되는 free radical을 억제하는 효과를 가지고 있어 노인성 치매를 비롯하여 파킨슨씨병, 뇌허혈 및 뇌졸중과 같은 각종 노인성 질환예방에 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.

In this study, we investigated the effect of adding a 1, 3, or 5% solution of germinated brown rice concentrate (GBRC) to fermented kimchi. During fermentation, the concentration of free amino acids and essential amino acids increased with increasing concentrations of GBRC. In particular, higher levels of free amino acids were associated with a sweet taste compared with controls. The ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content of kimchi containing the 5% GBRC solution was 3 times higher than that of controls. The total phenolic compound content (130 mg%) did not change significantly in the control group, but increased in 10 mg% increments as the GBRC concentration rose from 1 to 3 to 5%. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and superoxide radical scavenging activity also increased with the GBRC concentration, with maximum activity during the ripe stage with GBRC measured at 79 to 82% compared with controls (30 to 71 %). The nitrite scavenging activity was 10% higher with GBRC compared with controls and was highest when the pH was 1.2. These results showed that the addition of GBRC is effective in improving the function of kimchi.
