목적 : 黃芩(황금)과 黃芩(황금)의 주요 flavonoid 성분인 baicalein이 신장세뇨관 상피세포에서 산화제에 의한 apoptosis에 미치는 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 방법 : 신장세뇨관 상피세포주인 opossum kidney (OK) 세포를 유기산화제인 t-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP)에 노출시켜 apoptosis를 일으킨 후 관련된 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과 : tBHP는 농도에 의존하여 apoptosis를 유발시켰는데, 이러한 효과는 黃芩(황금)과 baicalein에 의해 농도 의존적으로 방지 되었다. tBHP에 의한 OK 세포사는 항산화제인 Trolox와 N-acetylcysteine에 의해 방지 되었다. tBHP는 mitogen-activated protein kinase의 subfamily인 extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)를 활성화시켰다. ERK 억제제인 PD98059와 U0126은 tBHP에 의한 세포 사망을 방지하였다. tBHP에 의한 ERK 활성화는 U0126에 의해 억제되었으나 黃芩(황금)과 baicalein에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않았다. 철착염제인 deferoxamine은 tBHP에 의한 세포 사망과 ERK 활성화를 방지하였다. tBHP에 의한 세포 사망은 casopase 억제제인 BOD-U-FMK와 zDEVD-FMK에 의해 방지되었다. 결론 : 黃芩(황금)은 산화제에 의한 세포 사망을 방지하는데, 이는 kinase 억제, 항산화제 역할 및 철착염제의 작용에 기인하지 않았다. 黃芩(황금)의 이러한 효과는 산화제에 의관 신부전 예방 및 치료제로 개발하는데 이용될 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.

Autophagy is a homeostatic degradation process that is involved in tumor development and normal development. Autophagy is induced in cancer cells in response to chemotherapeutic agents, and inhibition of autophagy results in enhanced cancer cell death or survival. Chloroquine (CQ), an anti-malarial drug, is a lysosomotropic agent and is currently used as a potential anticancer agent as well as an autophagy inhibitor. Here, we evaluate the characteristics of these dual activities of CQ using human colorectal cancer cell line HCT15. The results show that CQ inhibited cell viability in dose- and time-dependent manner in the range between 20 to 80 uM, while CQ did not show any antiproliferative activity at 5 and 10 uM. Cotreatment of CQ with antitumor agent NVP-BEZ235, a dual inhibitor of PI3K/mTOR, rescued the cell viability at low concentrations meaning that CQ acted as an autophagy inhibitor, but CQ induced the lethal effect at high concentrations. Acridine orange staining revealed that CQ at high doses induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP). High doses of CQ produced cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cotreatment of antioxidants, such as NAC and trolox, with high doses of CQ rescued the cell viability. These results suggest that CQ may exert its dual activities, as autophagy inhibitor or LMP inducer, in concentration-dependent manner.

The antioxidant properties of water extracted polysaccharides (PW), 1%(w/v) NaOH extracted polysaccharides (PN1), and 5%(w/v) NaOH extracted polysaccharides (PN5) were assessed in this paper. PW showed good capability of scavenging $H_2O_2$, anti-lipid peroxidation, reduction power, and scavenging 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The maximum values were all observed at the dose of 1 mg/mL sample. As far as the antioxidant activities of PN1 were concerned, the capability of scavenging superoxide radical, chelating metal, and total antioxidation showed higher than those of PN5. When polysaccharide concentration was 1 mg/mL, the 3 index described above were attached 71.8%, 51.6%, and $446.3{\mu}M$ Trolox equivalent, respectively. With respect to PN5, higher capabilities of scavenging hydroxyl free radicals were obtained while the peak of 84.8% was observed at the concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. Moreover, the concentration-dependent influences were characterized in all cases.

To assess a potential possibility of Deoduck as functional food resources, this study was performed to determine the changes in chemical components and antioxidant activities on Deoduck with various aging conditions; aging temperatures were 60, 70, and $80^{\circ}C$, and aging periods were 5, 10, 15, 30, and 50 days. We determined pH, total acidity, browning index, 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural, total phenolic contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of aged Deoduck. Total acidity of aged samples increased during aging treatment, at higher temperature and longer time. The pH value of aged Deoduck ranged from 4.97 to 3.76. Aged Deoduck at $60^{\circ}C$ decreased slowly than 70 and $80^{\circ}C$, and these results were similar in total acidity. 5-HMF and total phenolic contents increased when increased aging temperature and periods. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of Deoduck were ranged from 0.374 to 1.560 mg TEAC eq/g and from 0.302 to 1.745 mg trolox eq/g, respectively.

In this study, a peptide exhibiting antioxidant activity was isolated from sandfish (Arctoscopus japonicus) roe hydrolysate (SRH) in order to evaluate their practical uses as materials for manufacturing functional foods. The A. japonicus roe protein was hydrolyzed using Collupulin MG, and isolation of antioxidant peptide was performed using ultrafiltration (UF), prep-HPLC, and RP-HPLC. The SRH with a molecular weight below 3 kDa constituted about 38% of the whole hydrolysate, and the fraction with a molecular weight below 3 kDa showed significantly greater antioxidant activity compared to the original SRH and other fractions. The isolation fold of the antioxidant peptide isolated from SRH throughout the four-step procedure was 7.11-fold, and protein yield was 14.8%. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of isolated antioxidant peptide was above 90% at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL, which was similar to that of the Trolox at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL. These results suggested that the antioxidant peptide derived from A. japonicus roe could be a useful additive for producing functional foods and protein supplements. However, it is necessary to perform further study the structural characteristics of this antioxidant peptide isolated from A. japonicus roe.

The ethanol extracts of the mixed vegetables (Bioactive Vegetables, BV) and the mixed fruits (Bioactive Fruits, BF) were evaluated for their in vivo antioxidant activities. Four weeks treatment of oral administration was performed to mice. A $KBrO_3$ as a potent oxidant was used to induce the oxidative stress for in vivo experiment. BV and BF were shown to possess the significant inhibitory effect of lipid peroxidation as measured by the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) formation although the potencies were not higher than those of well-known antioxidants such as vitamin C, trolox and quercetin. Furthermore, BV and BF inhibited DNA damage assessed by single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) and reduced the micronucleated reticulocyte (MNRET) formation of peripheral blood. Antioxidants tested also revealed potent inhibitory activities higher than BV and BF. These antigenotoxic activity profiles were similar to that of abovementioned inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Therefore, BV and BF having mild antioxidant activity as functional food candidates may be useful natural antioxidants by the inhibiting of lipid peroxidation and the protecting oxidative DNA and chromosomal damage.

The objective of this study was to optimize the conditions for enhancing the antioxidant properties of sword bean (Canavalia gladiata) as a coffee substitute in two processing methods, roasting and grinding. The optimum conditions for removing off-flavor of the bean and maximizing functionality and efficiency were light roasting and cryogenic grinding (< 53 ㎛). In these conditions, extraction yield was 16.75%, total phenolic content (TPC) was 69.82 ± 0.35 mg gallic acid equivalents/g, and total flavonoid content (TFC) was 168.81 ± 1.64 mg quercetin equivalents/100 g. The antioxidant properties were 77.58 ± 0.27% for DPPH radical scavenging activity and 58.02 ± 0.76 mg Trolox equivalents/g for ABTS radical scavenging activity. The values for TFC and ABTS radical scavenging activity were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in other conditions, and TPC and DPPH radical scavenging activity were second highest in lightly roasted beans, following raw beans. HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis confirmed that the amino acids and carbohydrates, which are the main components of sword bean, were condensed into other volatile flavor compounds, such as derivatives of furan, pyrazine, and pyrrole during roasting. Roasted and cryogenically ground (cryo-ground) sword beans showed higher functionality in terms of TFC, DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging activities compared to those of coffee. Overall results showed that light roasting and cryogenic grinding are the most suitable processing conditions for enhancing the bioactivity of sword beans.

In this study, the effect of pH on the antioxidative activities of melanoidins formed as a result of the reaction between sugars, glucose (Glc) or fructose (Fru), and amino acids, L-asparagine (L-Asn) and D-asparagine (D-Asn) are examined. For this purpose, antioxidative activities were evaluated on the basis of reducing power, including ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) and free radical scavenging activity includes 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl- hydrazil (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and ferrous ion chelating activity. Ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA) and trolox, a water-soluble analog of tocopherol, were used as reference antioxidant compounds. The antioxidative activities of the melanoidins at a pH of 7.0 were greater than those with a pHs of 4.0 and pH 10.0. Especially, it was found that the melanoidins formed from D-isomers are more effective antioxidants in different in vitro assays. The reducing power and chelating activity of the melanoidins formed from the Fru systems were higher than those of the melanoidins formed from the Glc systems. However, the ABTS radical scavenging activity of the melanoidins formed from the Glc systems were higher than those of the melanoidins formed from the Fru systems. In particular, the DPPH radical scavenging activity and the FRAP of the melanoidins showed different antioxidative activities according to pH level.
