3,9-Dihydro-6-oxopterocarpen과 ferulic acid의 에스테르 반응을 통해 페룰산 유도체인 3,9-diferuloyl-6-oxopterocarpen (Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ )를 합성하여 이를 함유한 주름개선 화장품을 개발하였다. Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 는 농도 의존적으로 DPPH와 superoxide radical에 대한 소거효과를 나타냈으며, 각각 0.8 mM에서 78%, 0.053 mM에서 92.9%로 DPPH와 superoxide radical을 소거하여 우수한 항산화 효과를 나타내었다. MMP-1 효소 활성 저해 효과도 0.16 mM에서 74%를 저해하였다. HDF에서 UVA에 의해 발현이 증가되는 MMP-1의 발현 저해 효과는 Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 0.8 uM에서 85.5%로 단백질 수준에서 모두 농도 의존적으로 발현 저해효과가 나타났다. Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 를 함유한 제품의 피부 주름개선 효과 평가 결과, Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 를 함유한 화장품을 약 8주 간 도포한 경우 유의한 주름개선 효과가 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 Tensolin-$F_{(R)}$ 는 항산화 효과와 MMP-1활성 저해 효과 및 UVA에 의한 MMP-1의 발현을 저해하는 효과가 나타났으며 새로운 주름개선 기능성 화장품으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

The endogenous neurotoxin, 1-methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (salsolinol), has been considered a potential causative factor for the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, we examined the pattern of human Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) modification elicited by salsolinol. When Cu,Zn-SOD was incubated with salsolinol, some protein fragmentation and some higher molecular weight aggregates were occurred. Salsolinol led to inactivation of Cu,Zn-SOD in a concentration-dependent manner. Free radical scavengers and catalase inhibited the salsolinol-mediated Cu,Zn-SOD modificaiton. Exposure of Cu,Zn-SOD to salsolinol led also to the generation of protein carbonyl compounds. The deoxyribose assay showed that hydroxyl radicals were generated during the oxidation of salsolinol in the presence of Cu,Zn-SOD. Therefore, the results indicate that free radical may play a role in the modification and inactivation of Cu,Zn-SOD by salsolinol.

The defenses against free radical damage include specialized repair enzymes that correct oxidative damages in DNA, and detoxification systems such as superoxide dismutases. These defenses may be coordinated genetically as global responses. We hypothesized that the expression of the SOD and the DNA repair genes would inhibit DNA damage under oxidative stress. Therefore, the protection of E. coli mutants deficient in SOD and DNA repair genes $(sod^-\;xth^-\;and\;nfo^-)$ was demonstrated by transforming the mutant strain with a plasmid pYK9 which encoded Photobacterium leiognathi CuZnSOD and human AP endonuclease. The results show that survival rates were increased in $sod^+\;xth^-\;nfo^+$ cells compared to $sod^-\;xth^-\;ap^+,\;sod^-\;xth^-\;ap^-,\;and\;sod^+\;xth^-\;ap^-$ cells under oxidative stress generated from 0.1 mM Paraquat or 3 mM $H_2O_2$. The data suggested that, at least, SOD and DNA repair enzymes may have collaborate protection and repair of the damaged DNA. Additionally, both enzymes are required for protection against free radicals.

To elucidate the effect of antioxidant complex containing $\beta-carotene$, vitamin E, vitamin C, Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract and selenium on oxygen :tree radical production and detoxification system, rats were fed normal diet and normal diet with antioxidant complex 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% for 3 weeks. Feed efficiency ratio, changes in body weight, weight gain and amounts of feces of rat are similar in four groups. Liver weight per body weight and hepatic lipid peroxide weight increased in 0.5% group. However, hepatic glutathione contents in all antioxidant complex added groups were significantly increased compare with normal control group. On the other hand, the activity of xanthine oxidase was a little increased due to the amounts of antioxidant complex. Superoxide dismutase and gutathione peroxidase activity of 0.1% antioxidant complex added group were increased about $10{\sim}20%$ in comparison to normal control group. These results suggest that the supplementation of antioxidant complex 0.1% to basal diet may reduce the hepatic damage caused by free radicals.

This study aimed to assess the antioxidative potential of adding ethanolic extracts from Ulmus davidiana to Yackwa (Korean fried cookie). The reducing power and antioxidant activity of U. davidiana-treated Yackwa were assessed against DPPH, nitric oxide, superoxide anions, superoxide dismutase, and ABTS radicals. Increasing the amount of U. davidiana extract in Yackwa dough resulted in improved antioxidant properties. U. davidiana extracts were effective antioxidants with a radical scavenging potency similar to the potency of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and L-ascorbic acid. The DPPH and nitric oxide radical scavenging activity of Yackwa containing 0.2% U. davidiana resulted in increased oxidative stability relative to control dough. Although the antioxidant effects of Yackwa containing U. davidiana extract were lower than those of Yackwa containing BHT and L-ascorbic acid, these results suggest that U. davidiana extracts have potent antioxidant activity. Accordingly, U. davidiana extract is a potential additive for deep-fried foods, such as Yackwa, to improve their oxidative stability.

This research employed a senescence-accelerated mouse(SAM) to explore the possibility that differences exits among the major antioxidants, superoxid dismutase(SOD), in terms of ability to protect such animal treated with Cu, Fe and Mn. To assess the antioxidants function of metal ions on SAM-R/1 and SAM-P/8 were administered with Cu, Fe and Mn orally. The effect of metal ions on SAM towards reversing oxygen sensitivity was determined as a bioassays of SOD in the mouse liver. The data show that the SOD activity was induced by each metal ions in both SAM-R/1 and SAM-P/8. It suggested that induced SOD by each metal ions may protect against oxidative mediated stress. Finally, overall data lead to the possibility of metal ions as an antioxidants or each metal ions act producer of oxygen radicals in the liver of SAM-R/1 and SAM-P/8.

This study aims to evaluate the antioxidative activities of cow-milk kefir and goat-milk kefir. Antioxidative mechanisms, including radical-scavenging effects, ferrous-ion chelating ability, reducing power and antioxidant activity, were investigated herein. Kefirs demonstrated significantly greater scavenging effects upon 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide radicals, an inhibition effect upon linoleic-acid peroxidation, and more substantial reducing power, but reduced glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity than was the case for milks. There was no significant difference between milks and kefirs as regards ferrous-ion chelating ability and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. These findings have demonstrated that kefirs possess antioxidant activity, thereby suggesting that kefirs are potential candidates for the role of useful natural antioxidant supplements for the human diet.

Oxygen radical은 생물체의 산소대사 과정의 부산물로 생성되어 세포내 여러 성분을 불환성화시키거나 미생물에 대한 방어기전으로 작용한다. 기생충에 존재하는 antioxidant enzyme은 숙주의 방어기전에서 유리하는 oxygen radical의 독성을 제거하므로 이 효소의 활성도는 기생충의 생존에 영향을 미친다고 생각하고 있다. 폐흡충은 피낭유충이 종숙주에 침입한 다음 숙주내 조직이행 시기를 거쳐서 폐에 도달하여 성충이 되므로 이 과정에서 각 시기별 산소독성과 이에 대항하는 효소의 환성이 다를 것으로 추정하였다. 폐흡충의 피낭유충과 감염후 4주, 8주, 12주에 얻은 충체의 추출물을 조효소(조효소)로 하여 SOD, catalase, peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase의 활성도를 측정하였다. 각 효소의 비환성도(specific activity) 중 catalase는 피낭유충에서 최고치였으며, SOD 와 peroxidase는 4주 충체에서 가장 높았고, glutathione peroxidase는 8주 충체에서 높았다. 이들 4가지 antioxidant효소의 비환성도는 감염 12주인 성충에서 모두 낮게 측정되어 조직 이행시기의 충체에서 더 높은 효 소 활성도를 지니고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G) isolated from black rice was investigated for hepatoprotective effects in HepG2 cells under oxidative stress. When an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was induced by gramoxone, cell viability was drastically decreased by 42%. However, in the presence of C3G, no hepatocytic damage was observed in HepG2 cells treated with gramoxone. C3G was found to manifest a stronger scavenging effect (91%) on superoxide anion radical ($O_2\;^{.-}$) than any of the other natural and synthetic antioxidants. Results suggest that C3G from black rice possesses hepatoprotective effects in vitro, which may be, at least in part, due to $O_2\;^{.-}$ scavenging.

Apium graveolens Linn. (Apiaceae) is an indigenous plant of the North and South Americas, Southern Europe, and Asia and has been widely used as a food or a traditional medicine for treatment of inflammation and arthritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of a methanolic extract of A. graveolens (AGE) against liver oxidative stress in an adjuvant-induced arthritic rat model. The AGE (250, 500, and 1,000 mg/kg) was given orally for 24 consecutive days after induction by injecting complete Freund's adjuvant. Liver and spleen weights were recorded. The superoxide anion level, total peroxide (TP), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, total antioxidant status, and oxidative stress index (OSI) were also measured. AGE treatment significantly decreased the levels of the superoxide anion, TP, and OSI whereas the GPx and SOD activities significantly increased in the liver of the arthritic rats. These results indicated that AGE showed an ameliorative effect against liver oxidative stress in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats by reducing the generation of liver free radicals and increasing the liver antioxidant enzyme activity.
