본 연구는 가식부위가 20~30%로 과즙 착즙 시 주로 버려지고 있으나 석류의 부위별 추출물 중 가장 항산화성이 우수한 천연식품 소재인 석류 내피를 에탄올로 추출하여 천연항산화제로서의 활용 가능성을 조사하였다. 석류 내피 추출물을 극성이 낮은 용매에서 극성이 높은 용매로 순차적으로 계통 분획하여 항산화능을 분석하였다. 각 측정 방법 별로 항산화 활성에 있어 약간의 차이를 보였으나 전반적으로 ethyl acetate 분획의 항산화능이 높게 측정되었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성 측정 결과 ethyl acetate와 butanol 분획물에서 $IC_{50}$이 각각 2.40 ${\mu}g$/mL, 2.88 ${\mu}g$/mL로 기준 물질인 ascorbic acid와 유사한 항산화 활성을 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. Superoxide anion 소거활성에서 ethyl acetate과 butanol 분획물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 58.94 ${\mu}g$/mL, 61.91 ${\mu}g$/mL로 기준물질인 tannin acid보다 항산화능이 우수하였다. $ABTS^+$ 소거활성에서 ethyl acetate와 butanol 분획물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 39.26 ${\mu}g$/mL, 40.95 ${\mu}g$/mL로 나타났으며 환원력을 측정한 결과 ethyl acetate 분획물(0.1 mg/mL)의 흡광도가 1.404로 기준물질인 ascorbic acid보다 활성이 높게 측정되었다. SOD 유사활성과 아질산염 소거능에서는 유사한 결과를 나타냈는데 SOD 유사활성은 $42.88{\pm}0.66%$(dichloromethane), $15.43{\pm}0.85%$(butanol), $12.82{\pm}0.68%$(water)이었으며 아질산염 소거능에서 dichloromethane 분획물의 $IC_{50}$은 115.54 ${\mu}g$/mL로 기준물질인 ascorbic acid보다 높게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과 석류 내피 추출물은 높은 항산화 활성을 가지고 있으며, 폐자원으로써 버려지는 석류 내피는 식품첨가물 등의 기능성 소재로의 이용가능성이 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate anti-aging and antioxidant effects of extracts of Nelumbo nucifera leaves (NN-L) using ethanol on skin .Methods : Each part of leaves(NN-L), flowers(NN-F) and stem(NN-S) was extracted with 70% ethanol. We performed radical scavenging assay(DPPH, ABTS+, Superoxide anion radical), elastase inhibition assay, collagenase inhibition assay. NN-L extracts were tested for cell viability(MTT assay), MMP-1 inhibition and MMP-1 protein expression on CCD-986sk cells (human fibroblast line).Results : Recently, many studies have reported that elastin is also involved in inhibiting or repairing wrinkle formation, although collagen is a major factor in the skin wrinkle formation. We measured its free radical scavenging activity, elastase inhibitory activity and expression of MMP-1 (matrix metalloprotease-1) in human fibroblast cells. Among the parts of Nelumbo nucifera, NN-L showed the highest antioxidant activities and in radical scavenging. DPPH, ABTS+ and Superoxide anion radical scavenging activity of NN-L at concentration of 1,000 μg/mL were 91.43%, 99.31% and 73.7% respectively. In vitro elastase and collagenase inhibition effects of NN-L at concentration of 1,000 μg/mL was 42.8% and 55.3% respectively. The ethanol extract of NN-L showed cell viability of 95.4% in 50 μg/mL concentration. In addition, The results from Western blot assay showed that NN-L decreased the expression of MMP-1 protein in a dose-dependent manner (by up to 35.0% at 50 μM).Conclusion : The findings suggest that the NN-L great potential as a cosmeceutical ingredient with antioxidant and anti-wrinkling effects.

An antioxidant was isolated from Korean mistletoe (Viscum album var. coloratum) by consecutive purification using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and RP-HPLC. The active principle was identified as homo-flavoyadorinin-B (3',7-dimethoxyluteolin-4'-O-[apiosyl $(1{\rightarrow}2)$ glucoside]) by spectral analyses. It inhibited 74.6% of hydroxyl radical and 30.6% of superoxide anion radical at 0.01 mM; however, th~compound did not show any scavenging activity against hydrogen peroxide radical. At 0.1 mM, above compound scavenged superoxide anion radical about twice as effective as positive controls, BHT and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Radical scavenging activities of homo-flavoyadorinin-B on DPPH, hydroxyl, and hydrogen peroxide radicals were almost same with those of positive controls.

Polysaccharide (PS) was fractionated from hot-water extract of Artemisia iwayomogi Kitamura stems. PS showed considerably higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity than caffeic acid and glutathione. PS showed lower superoxide anion radical scavenging activity than hydroquinone and ascorbic acid. The scavenging activity of PS on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by human neutrophils with zymosan was determined by the lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence assay. The scavenging effect of the PS on ROS as determined by the chemiluminescence assay was about 2-fold stronger than that of ascorbic acid at the same concentration. PS significantly decreased protein carbonyl and malonaldehyde contents in UVB irradiated skin homogenates, which was comparable to glutathione at the same concentration. This result suggested that PS derived from A. iwayomogi Kitamura stems may be a potent candidate as functional compound for the protection on UVB induced skin damage in cosmetics.

Objective : In this paper, we investigated the anti-oxidative capacities and protective effects of water extract of palmul-tang (PMT) against Ultraviolet B(UVB)-induced oxidative damage in human keratinocytes(HaCaT). Method : To evaluate the anti-oxidative activities of PMT, we measured scavenging activities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation and reducing power of PMT. To give an oxidative stress to HaCaT cells, UVB was irradiated with $40mJ/cm^2$ to HaCaT cells. To detect the protective effects of PMT against UVB, we measured cell viability, apoptotic bodies and reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation. Results : PMT showed the anti-oxidative activities by scavenging DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation. Also PMT showed high reducing values. The UVB-induced oxidative conditions led to the cell apoptosis. However, treatment with PMT reduced oxidative stress conditions, including inhibition of cell apoptosis and expression of ROS. Conclusion : PMT had anti-oxidative activities and exhibited protective effects against UVB on HaCaT cells. PMT would be useful for the development of cosmetics treating UVB-induced skin aging.

In this paper, we studied the anti-oxidative capacities and protective effects of water extract of Gagam-Danguieumja(GDE) against Ultraviolet B(UVB)-induced oxidative damage in human keratinocytes(HaCaT). To evaluate the anti-oxidative activities of GDE, we measured scavenging activities on DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation and reducing power of GDE. To detect the protective effects of GDE against UVB, we irradiated with 40 mJ/㎠`s UVB to HaCaT cells then we measured reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation, apoptotic bodies and cell viability using DCFH-DA assay, Hoechst 33342 staining and MTT assay. GDE showed the anti-oxidative activities by scavenging DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation. Also GDE showed high reducing values. GDE reduced oxidative stress conditions by inhibition of ROS expression. Also the cell apoptosis by UVB-induced oxidative conditions was decreased by GDE treatment. These results could suggest that GDE had anti-oxidative activities and exhibited protective effects against UVB on HaCaT cells. GDE would be useful for the development of cosmetics treating UVB-induced skin aging.

The major objective of this study was to investigate the usability as cultivar for processing of new Citrus hybrid 'Hamilgam'. We investigated various antioxidant activities, such as DPPH radical, ABTS radical, Hydroxyl radical and Superoxide anion radical effect, along with total polyphenol content and total flavonoid content of Citrus hybrid 'Hamilgam', C. unshiu, C. natsudaidai. The total polyphenol content and total flavonoid content were the highest in the Hamilgam. The major flavonoids of Hamilgam and Natsudaidai were naringin and neohesperidin, and those of Unshu were narirutin and hesperidin, as determined by HPLC. Especially, the neohesperidin content of Hamilgam showed much higher (100 times over) than that of Unshu. However, the aglycone form was not found. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were the highest in Hamilgam peels. Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was high in the order of Unshu, Hamilgam and Natsudaidai. Superoxide anion radical scavenging of 3 cultivars peels displayed low activities compared to DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging. Based on these results, Hamilgam peel extracts possess antioxidant activities and may thus serve as potential sources of functional food, cosmetic products, etc.

The antioxidant activities of methanol and dichloromethane extracts of eighteen salt marsh plants were tested by using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl(DPPH) at a $100{\mu}g/ml$ concentrations. The methanol extracts of four salt marsh plants(Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Erigeron annuus, Ixeris tamagawaensis kitamura, Artemisia capillaris Thunberg) were found to be most effective in DPPH radical scavenging activity. The DPPH radical scavenging effect of these plants was Artemisia capillaris Thunberg(88.67%), Rosa rugosa Thunberg(87.51%), Erigeron annuus(78.49%), Ixeris tamagawaensis kitamura(69.99%) in order and was comparable with that of natural antioxidant, L-ascorbic acid(96.64%). The next effective ones were the methanol extracts of Teragonia tetragonoides(58.66%) and the dichloromethane extracts of Artemisia capillaris Thunberg(54.67%) and the others did not show a considerable activity. These salt marsh plants were evaluated using the pyrogallol UV-VIS spectrophotometeric method to generate superoxide anion. Among them, the dichloromethane extracts of four salt marsh plants and the methanol extracts of fifteen ones were weak superoxide dismutase-like activities.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to elucidate the antioxidant effect of solvent fractions of Angelica gigas root. Methods: The ethanol extract of Angelica gigas root was suspended in water and then partitioned with dichloromethane (MC Fr.), ethyl acetate (EA Fr.) and butanol (BuOH Fr.), sequentially. The antioxidant activities of solvent fractions of Angelica gigas root were evaluated for radical scavenging activity against stable free radicals (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) DPPH, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion radicals. In addition the antioxidant activities of solvent fractions of Angelica gigas root against peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrites were determined by the total oxy-radical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay. Results: Among the solvent fractions of MC Fr., EA Fr., and BuOH Fr., BuOH Fr. was found to have stronger antioxidant activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 59.72, 14.36, 30.96 and $44.75\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ on the DPPH radical, nitrite, superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, respectively, than BHA used as a positive control. Moreover, specific TOSC values(564.8, 276.4 and 405.5 TOSC/mM) of BuOH fr. against peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite were 4 times higher than GSH (136.5, 67.4 102.6 TOSC/mM) used as a positive control. Conclusions: These results suggest that the BuOH fr. of Angelica gigas root has a high antioxidant activity and can be useful to develop functional food against oxidative stress conditions.
