Antioxidative and scavenging effects were investigated by using two hyaroxycinnamic acids (caffeetannins). such as caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, on oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity that induced by paraquat. The results are summerized as follows: 1. To assess radical scavenging ability, reduction concentration (IC$\sub$50/) of 1.1 diphenyl-2-dipicrylhydrazine (DPPH) were measured. IC$\sub$50/ values of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid were 29.7 ${\pm}$0.6 ${\mu}$M and 26.0${\pm}$0.5 ${\mu}$M respectively. Their radical scavenging activities showed concentration-dependent manner. 2. In H$_2$O$_2$-induced hemolysis assay to rat blood, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid led to different effects, whose hemolysis inhibition ratios at 100 ${\mu}$M were 45.2${\pm}$7.1% and 11.6${\pm}$3.1% respectively 3. In hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system producing superoxide anion, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid showed different inhibitory activities of xanthine oxidase showing 36.8${\pm}$4.3% and 5.4${\pm}$2.3% respectively. 4. To microsomal NADPH dependent cytochrome p-450 reductase in rat liver, paraquat consumed NADPH at a dose-dependent manner from 0 to 1 ${\mu}$M paraquat concentration. Caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid blocked NADPH consumption rates at concentration-dependent manner and inhibition ratios at 100 ${\mu}$M were 67.6% and 59.2% respectively. 5. Administration (30mg/kg, iv) of paraquat to rats caused the marked elevation of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lipid peroxides (LPO) in the serum and lipid peroxides in the microsome as compared to the control group. Serum GOT, GPT, LDH, ALP and LPO and liver microsomal LPO were reduced significantly by caffeic acid (50mg/kg), chlorogenic acid (25mg/kg) and silymarin (150 mg/kg) as compared to the paraquat group. From these results, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid exerted their antioxidative agents by removing reactive oxygen substance (ROS) and scavenging effects by inhibiting ROS generating enzyme. As a general, two hydroxyeinnamic acids showed the useful compounds for scavenger and reducer on the paraquat induced hepatotoxicity.

Objectives: Accumulation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress. Increased production of ROS, such as superoxide anion, or a deficiency in their clearance by antioxidant defences, mediates cellular pathology. Grewia Spp fruits are a source of bioactive compounds and have notable antioxidant activity. Although the antioxidant capacity of Grewia Spp has been studied, there is very limited evidence that links the antioxidant activities of Grewia bicolor and Grewia flava to the inhibition of free radical formation associated with damage in biological systems. Methods: This study evaluated the protective effects of Grewia bicolor and Grewia flava extracts against free radical-induced oxidative stress and the resulting cytotoxicity effect using HeLa cells. Antioxidant properties determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and total phenolic content (TPC) assays showed significantly higher (p < 0.05) antioxidant activity in Grewia flava (ethanol extract) than Grewia flava (water extract) and Grewia bicolor (ethanol and water extracts). Results: Using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetrazolium bromide or MTT assay, cytotoxicity results showed that extracts of Grewia bicolor and Grewia flava were less toxic to HeLa cells at tested concentrations compared to the untreated control. This confirmed the low toxicity of these edible fruits at the tested concentrations in HeLa cells. Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cell loss was effectively reduced by pre-incubating HeLa cells with Grewia bicolor and Grewia flava extracts, with Grewia flava (ethanol extract) revealing better protection. Conclusion: The effect was speculated to be associated with the higher antioxidant activity of Grewia flava (ethanol extract). Additional studies will warrant confirmation of the mechanism of action of such effects.

To increase antioxidative activity and minimize off-flavor of Chungkukjang, Seoliate as main ingredient and green tea as minor ingredient were selected. The protective efffect of green tea for Chungkukjang was evaluated under in vitro. Seolitae Chungkukjang added with green tea (SCG) was prepared on the basis of the protective effect of green tea from oxidative stress. Green tea showed the strong protective effect against nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion ($O_2{^-}$) radicals. The SCG perparation method was as follows. Seolitae was cleaned and washed, soaked in 1.5-fold water ($15^{\circ}C$) of Seolitae weight for 48 hr. Seolitae was steamed about 40 min by autoclave and then cooled about $40^{\circ}C$. Bacillus subtilis was inoculated and 5.0-fold green tea of weight was added, and then it was fermented for 60 hr at $40^{\circ}C$. According to the preparation method, Seolitae Chungkukjang (SC) and Seolitae Chungkukjang added with green tea 5.0% (SCG5.0) were prepared. Among the Chungkukjang groups SCG5.0 exerted more effective scavenging activity of NO than SC. In addition, SC added with green tea 5.0% showed high $O_2{^-}$ scavenging effect. These results suggest the antioxidative potential against free radical-induced oxidative damage of SCG.

본 연구에서는 뽕잎 당단백질의 활성을 알아보기 위하여 뽕잎 당단백질의 안정성 및 특성을 알아보고, hydroxyl 라디칼, superoxide anion 라디칼, DPPH 라디칼 등의 활성 산소종에 대한 항산화 효과를 살펴보았다. 또한 Raw 264.7 세포에 환경호르몬의 일종인 BPA와 뽕잎 당단백질(32 kDa)을 함께 처리 하여, 뽕잎 당단백질의 활성산소종과 NO의 소거 능력뿐만 아니라 염증 매개성 단백질들 [$NF-{\kappa}B(p50)$와 iNOS]의 활성 억제능력 대하여 평가하였다. 뽕이 당단백질은 금속이온에는 다소 약하지만 온도와 pH에는 안정적인 특징을 지니고 있었으며, 탁월한 hydroxyl 라디칼, superoxide anion 라디칼, DPPH 라디칼 소거 능력을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 항산화 능력을 지닌 뽕잎 당단백질을 BPA와 함께 Raw 264.7 세포에 처리한 결과, BPA만 처리된 Raw 264.7 세포의 활성 산소종 양은 8시간째에, 그리고 NO 양은 24시간째에 현저히 증가한데 반해, BPA와 함께 뽕잎 당단백질을 처리한 Raw 264.7 세포에서는 같은 시간 동안에 농도에 비례하여 활성 산소종 및 NO양이 유의적으로 감소한 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 8시간 동안 BPA처리에 의해 활성화된 Raw 264.7 세포의 $NF-{\kappa}B(p50)$와 iNOS 단백질들은 함께 처리한 뽕잎 당단백질의 농도에 비례하여 현저히 억제되었다. 따라서, 이러한 결과를 종합해 보면, 뽕잎 당단백질은 높은 안정성과 강력한 항산화 효과를 가지고 있었으며, 이러한 항산화 효과가 환경 호르몬(BPA)에 의한 활성산소종 및 NO 생성을 저해할 뿐만 아니라, $NF-{\kappa}B(p50)$와 iNOS의 활성을 억제함으로써 Raw 264.7 세포의 염증 신호전달을 막는데 영향을 끼쳤을 것으로 생각 된다.

Objectives : This study was carried out to research antioxidant effects of Sagunja-Tang(SA) through in vitro and vivo experiments, and tried to investigate the relation between oxidation of tissues and deficiency of Qi. Methods and results : HPLC analysis of glycyrrhizine - known to be the main compound of Radix Glycyrrhizae - was done to certify the quality of SA. Chemiluminescence was initiated by adding tort-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) to rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils), and generated reactive oxygen species (superoxide anion) decreased significantly by SA as dose dependent manner. Cell injury during 60 minutes tissue incubation was initiated by adding t-BHP, a hydrophobic hydroperoxide and $H_2O_2$, an water soluble oxidant to rat renal cortical and liver slices. Percentage cell death and lipid peroxidation were estimated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of lipid peroxidation. t-BHP induced % cell death of renal cortical slices and lipid peroxidation of renal cortical and liver slices were decreased significantly by SA. SA decreased significantly % cell death and lipid peroxidation of renal cortical and liver slices induced by $H_2O_2$, too. Acute renal and liver injury induced by $HgCl_2\;and\;CCl_4$, which initiated from free radical, were applied to mice and metabolic data were obtained. Data showed protective effects of SA on acute renal injury caused by decrease of glomerular filtration. SA protected acute liver injury too. Conclusions Through this study, we found that SA have antioxidant effects and tissue oxidation was similar to deficiency of Qi. And further studies have to be followed to certify the mechanisms.

본 연구의 목적은 갈색거저리의 추출물에 따른 약리활성에 대한 검증 및 효능 평가이다. 갈색거저리의 항산화, 항염증에 대하여 효과를 확인 하였다. 염증 반응은 자극이 가해지면 histamin, serotonin, prostaglandin과 같은 혈관 활성물질에 의해 혈관 투과성이 증대되어 염증을 유발하고 cytokine, free radical, lysosomal enzyme 등 다양한 매개 인자가 관여한다. 자극에 의한 macrophage cell의 염증반응은 tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$($TNF-{\alpha}$), interleukin-6(IL-6), $interleukin-1{\beta}$($IL-1{\beta}$)와 같은 pro-inflammatory cytokine의 발현이 유도되고, inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)와 cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)에 영향을 받는 유전자의 발현을 자극하게 되어 nitric oxide(NO) 및 $PGE_2$등의 염증 인자가 생성된다. 이에 따라 갈색거지리 추출물의 항염증에 대한 연구를 위해 이에 영향을 주는 인자인 iNOS, COX-2, $PGE_2$, MAPKs의 단백질 발현억제 작용을 확인 하였다. 그 결과 TDW 처리군에서 iNOS 발현율이 19.7%, COX-2의 발현율은 23.2%의 값을 나타내었고, $PGE_2$의 저해 경로를 보기 위해 COX-2의 발현을 mRNA 수준에서 측정한 결과 최고 농도인 $100{\mu}g/mL$에서는 약 60%의 억제효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 TDW는 염증 생성 기전에 작용하여 이 활성을 억제하는데 있어서 효과를 줄 수 있으며 지속적으로 연구해볼 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

Objectives : Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Etiological studies of diabetes and its complications have shown that oxidative stress might play a major role. Therefore, many methods have been tried to regulate free oxygen radicals for treating diabetes and its complications. Ojung-hwan, composed of five crude herbs, has been considered effective for treating symptoms of aging. In male ob/ob mouse of severe obesity, hyperinsulinemia and hyperlipidemia, which are features of NIDDM, the hyperglycemic activities and mechanisms of Ojung-hwan were examined. Methods : Mice were grouped and treated for 5 weeks as follows. Both the lean (C57/BL6J black mice) and diabetic (ob/ob mice) control groups received standard chow. The experimental groups were fed a diet of chow supplemented with 30 and 90 mg Ojung-hwan per 1 kg of body weight for 14 days. The effects of Ojung-hwan extract on the ob/ob mice were observed by measuring the serum levels of glucose, insulin, lipid components, and the kidney levels of superoxide anion radical (${\cdot}\;O{_2}{^-}$), MDA+HAE, GSH/GSSG ratio, and also the enzyme activities involved in polyol pathway. Results : Ojung-hwan lowered the levels of serum glucose and insulin in a dose-dependent manner. Total cholesterol, triglyceride and free fatty acid levels decreased, while the HDL-cholesterol level increased, in Ojung-hwan treated groups. Renal aldose reductase and sorbitol dehydrogenase activities increased in the ob/ob mice, whereas they were inhibited in the Ojung-hwan treated groups. Ojung-hwan inhibited the generation of ${\cdot}\;O{_2}{^-}$ in the kidney. Finally, MDA+HAE levels increased and GSH/GSSG ratio decreased in the ob/ob mice, whereas they improved in the Ojung-hwan treated groups. Conclusions : Ojung-hwan showed antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities by regulating theactivities of polyol pathway enzymes, scavenging reactive oxygen species and reducing the MDA+HAE levels in the ob/ob mice.

본 연구에서는 밤나무 잎 추출물의 항산화 활성 및 주름과 미백에 관련된 tyrosinase와 elastase의 활성에 대한 억제 효능을 측정하였으며, 밤나무 잎 추출물에 함유된 플라보노이드 성분에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 항산화 활성측정 결과로, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH)을 이용한 free radical 소거활성은 50% ethanol 추출물($13.6{\mu}g/mL$ < ethyl acetate 분획(6.2) < aglycone 분획(2.1)으로 나타났고, lumionl-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종(ROS)의 소거활성은 aglycone 분획(0.8) < 50% ethanol 추출물(0.5) < ethyl acetate 분획(0.3) 순으로 나타났다. NET법을 이용한 xanthine과 xanthine oxidase의 반응으로부터 생성된 ${O_2}^{{\cdot}\;-}$의 소거활성은 aglycone 분획(65.5)이 ethyl acetate 분획(145.5)보다 더 높게 나타났으며, rose-bengal과 빛으로 유도된 사람 적혈구의 용혈에 대한 세포보호 활성은 $10{\mu}/mL$에서 aglycone 분획이 가장 높은 세포보호 활성을 나타내었다. Elastase 저해활성은 aglycone 분획이 oleanolic acid ($13.7{\mu}/mL$)에 비해 훨씬 좋은 $9.1{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 뛰어난 주름 개선효과가 있을 것으로 생각된다. Tyrosinase 저해활성은 aglycone 분획이 미백 관련 화장품 고시 원료인 arbutin ($226.2{\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 훨씬 좋은 $21.6{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 뛰어난 미백 효과가 있을 것으로 생각되어 B16 melanoma 세포를 이용한 멜라닌 합성 저해 활성을 측정하였다. 측정에 앞서 세포 독성 실험에서는 ethyl acetate 및 aglycone 분획이 $25{\mu}g/mL$ 이하에서 80% 이상의 세포 생존율을 나타내었고, $25{\mu}g/mL$ 이하에서의 멜라닌 합성 저해활성 측정 결과, ethyl acetate 및 aglycone 분획이 arbutin보다 훨씬 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 항산화 및 항노화 활성을 나타내는 밤나무 잎 추출물의 플라보노이드 성분을 TLC와 HPLC를 통해 분석한 결과 kaempferol, quercetin, quercitrin, isoquercitrin, hyperin, rutin이 함유되어 있었고, 그 중에서도 quercitrin이 가장 많이 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 밤나무 잎 추출물이 free radical, ROS를 소거하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 가리킨다. 또한 자외선으로 인한 기미, 주근깨 과형성 및 주름 생성에 있어 상당한 저해 효과를 나타낼 수 있음을 시사한다.

This study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Prunellae Herba(PH). The generation of superoxide anion radical (․O₂-), nitric oxide (NO), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and Prostaglandin E₂(PGE₂) were measured in the H₂O₂-Treated renal epithelial cells(LLC-PK1 cell) of mouse. And the effects of Prunellae Spica on the expression of NF-κB (p50, p65), IKK-α, phospho-IκB-α and inflammation-related proteins, COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β and VCAM-1, were examined by western blot. The fluorescent probes, 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA), 4,5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2) and dihyldrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) were used to estimate the scavenging effect of Prunellae Spica on ․O₂-, NO, ONOO-. Western blot was conducted to assess the protein expression levels of NF-κB (p50, p65), IKK-α, phospho-IκB-α, inflammation-related proteins, COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β, VCAM-1. PH inhibited H₂O₂-treated cell death dose-dependently. It reduced the generation of ·O₂-, NO, ONOO- and PGE₂ in the H₂O₂-treated renal epitheial cells(LLC-PK₁ cell) of mouse in vitro. PH reduced the expression of NF-κB, IKK-α, phospho-IκB-α, COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β and VCAM-1 genes through means of decreasing activation of NF-κB signaling as well. According to these results, PH has an antioxidative activity and anti-inflammatory effect by regulating the NF-κB pathway. This suggest that PH is expected to be used to regulating inflammatory process and treating inflammation-related disease.
