  • The three crude drugs of the Kalopanax pictus (Araliaceae) roots (K), Pueraria thunbergiana (Leguminosae) flowers (P), and the Rhus verniciflua (Anacardiaceae) heartwood(R) used for anti-thirst drugs in Oriental herb medicine were extracted with MeOH, respectively, and the successive fractionation of the extract gave EtOAc extract. Certain amount ratios of the three extracts were also prepared to compare the antimutagenicity in Ames test. In N-methyl-N(-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG; 0.4 (g/plate)-induced test, the activities of complex mixture were observed between the highest antimutagenic activity of K extract and the lowest P extract. In aflatoxin (AFB$_1$)-induced test, the EtOAc complex (K : P : R=l : 1 : 3) labeled E-113 decreased the revertants of Salmonella typhimurium TA100 by 95%, which activity were highest among other extracts or complexes mixture used. Fractionation of organic solvent mostly increased the antimutagenicity. These trends were also observed in the antimutagenicity test of the mixture of each active component of kalopanaxsaponin A, tectorigenin and sulfuretin. These results supported that many kinds of anti-thirst herb medicine in the prescription could effectively prevent cancer disease.

  • Previously, a flavonoid fraction, which consisted mainly of protocatechuic acid, fustin, fisetin, sulfuretin, and butein, here named RCMF [${\underline{R}}hus$ verniciflua Stokes (RVS) ${\underline{c}}hloroform-{\underline{m}}ethanol\;{\underline{f}}raction$], was prepared from a crude acetone extract of RVS which is traditionally used as a food additive and as an herbal medicine. In the present study, we investigated the effects of $TNF-{\alpha}$ on RCMF-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis induction using human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells. The results from tritium uptake and MTT assays showed that $TNF-{\alpha}$ treatment itself (10 ng/ml) did not induce any cytotoxicity, but it actively accelerated RCMF-mediated cytotoxicity of HOS cells. RCMF-induced cytotoxicity and its facilitation by $TNF-{\alpha}$ was verified to be apoptotic, based on the increased DNA fragmentation and low fluorescence intensity in nuclei after propidium iodide (PI) staining of HOS cells. This speculation was further demonstrated by monitoring the Annexin V/PI double staining which could discriminate the difference between apoptotic and necrotic deaths. Collectively, our findings indicate that $TNF-{\alpha}$ accelerates RCMF-induced cytotoxicity in HOS cells.

  • Activity-guided fractionation of the EtOH extract of flowers of Bidens bipinnata L. have been furnished five flavonoids, sulfuretin(1), butein(2), 7,8,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavanone(3), maritimetin(4) and okanin(5). All of the compounds showed significant activities on both linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition and DPPH radical scavenging effect. The evaluation for protective effect of isolated compounds against tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in human liver-derived Hep G2 cells was conducted. Compounds 1, 3, 4 and 5 showed significant protective effects with the $EC_{50}$ values of $36.1{\pm}0.9$, $23.3{\pm}0.7$, $41.0{\pm}1.0$ and $29.8{\pm}1.1{\mu}M$, respectively. Silybin, one of the well-known hepatoprotective agents, used as a positive control, and also showed protective effect with an $EC_{50}$ value of $84.3{\pm}0.7{\mu}M$.

  • Fruits of Rhus parviflora were extracted with 80% aqueous methanol (MeOH), and the concentrated extract was partitioned using ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and $H_2O$, successively. Purification of EtOAc fraction led to isolation of fifteen polyphenols of which structures were identified by spectroscopic methods including 2D-NMR. Most compounds apart from compound 10 inhibited low density lipoproteinoxidation within $IC_{50}$ value of $10{\mu}M$. Among compounds, taxifolin (2), quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (13), agathisflavone (5) sulfuretin (4), and aureusidin (3) showed $IC_{50}$ values 0.9, 0.8, 5.8, 2.9, and $2.4{\mu}M$ which were of highly significant in comparison positive control butylated hydroxytoluene with $IC_{50}$ value of $2.1{\mu}M$. The results indicate fruits of R. parviflora as a source of antihypercholesterolemic compounds.

  • Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS), an herbal medicine found in East Asia, was extracted and further fractionated to investigate its antioxidant capacity and neuroprotective effects. The RVS ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction had the highest level of total phenolics and antioxidant capacity among all solvent fractions tested. Pretreatment of PC-12 cells with the EtOAc fraction effectively attenuated $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative damage. Furthermore, the EtOAc fraction significantly attenuated caspase-3 activity, resulting in inhibition of $H_2O_2$-induced apoptosis. We identified and quantified fustin, sulfuretin, and butein in the EtOAc fraction using accurate mass quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The intracellular antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were significantly increased in PC-12 cells treated with the EtOAc fraction and with individual flavonoids. When cells were pretreated with the EtOAc fraction or individual flavonoids and then co-incubated with diethyldithiocarbamic acid (an inhibitor of SOD activity), cell viability against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress was attenuated. These results suggest that the RVS EtOAc fraction and its flavonoid constituents protect PC-12 cells against $H_2O_2$-induced neurotoxicity through their antioxidant properties.

  • 옻나무 유래 Flavonoid(F)는 항암 효과, 숙취해소 등의 효능이 있으며, 신장의 기능을 촉진하고 생식에도 영향을 준다고 알려져 있다. 그 주성분으로는 fustin, fisetin, sulfuretin, butein으로 추정되고 있다. 본 연구팀의 예비실험에서 성숙 흰쥐에게 F를 30일간 5mg씩 구강투여 하여 정소 중량 및 혈액 내 Testosterone 농도를 분석한 결과, 정소 중량이 증가되고 혈중 Testosterone의 농도도 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 높은 결과를 얻었다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 옻나무 유래 F가 성숙 수컷 횐쥐의 생식 기능에 직접 미치는 영향을 알아보고자, 흰쥐 Leydig 세포를 분리, 회수하여 체외배양에서 Testosterone농도를 조사하였다. SD계 흰쥐(약 12주령, 체중 250g 전후)의 정소를 적출 한 후, Leydig 세포를 회수하기 위해 0.25% collagenase용액에 넣어 34$^{\circ}C$에서 15분간 진탕 수조에서 배양하였다. 배양된 정소조직은 D-MEM 배양액(10% FCS와 antibiotics 첨가)으로 2~3회 세척한 후 세포 수를 1$\times$$10^{6}$ cells/$m\ell$/well로 분주하여, F(20, 40, 80, 160ng), IGF-I(50, 100ng) 와 LH(10, 100ng) 용량별 각각 첨가하여 배양하였다. 각 처리 후, 배양시간(3, 6, 12, 24, 36시간)에 따라 배양액을 회수하여 COAT-A-COUNT(DPC, USA) kit를 이용하여 RIA방법에 의해 Testosterone을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 대조구 Leydig 세포를 36시간까지 체외 배양하여 Testosterone의 농도를 조사한 결과, 24시간 배양구가 가장 높은 농도를 나타내었다. F를 단독 첨가하여 12시간 배양한 실험에서 F 80ng 첨가구에서 유의적으로 높은 농도를 보였다. LH 10ng 및 100ng 첨가구의 시간별 변화로는, LH 10ng 첨가구에서는 6~12시간 이후, LH 100ng 첨가구에서는 3~6시간 사이에서 유의적인 증가를 보였다. 또한, LH 10ng 첨가 실험에서는 LH 10ng+F 40ng에서 12시간 배양 시, 유의적으로 높은 Testosterone 분비를 확인하였으며, LH 100ng을 첨가하여 3시간 배양 시는 각 처리구 마다 높은 유의적 차이를 보였다. 한편, GH에 관여하는 IGF-I 첨가효과를 비교 검토한 결과, LH 100ng+IGF-I 100ng, 6시간 배양구에서 유의적으로 높게 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로, F 단독 처리 시의 적정량은 약 80ng이며, 흰쥐 정소 Leydig 세포의 Testosterone분비를 촉진하는 작용을 하는 것으로 사료되며, 특히 LH+F구에서 Testosterone분비를 더욱 향상시킴으로써 정소 Leydig 세포의 Androgen 생성을 촉진시키는 역할이 있는 것으로 보여진다 따라서 옻나무 유래 F는 포유동물의 생식기능에 중요하게 작용하는 것으로 사료된다.
