In this study, the biological activities of Glycyrrhiza uralensis were investigated, including antioxidative, fibrinolytic, thrombin inhibitory, and a-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The hot water extract of Glycyrrhiza uralensis was fractionated into hexane, $CHCl_3$, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water fractions, and each of these fractions were assayed individually. The water fraction showed the highest extraction yield of 19.45% (w/w). Using the DPPH method, the free radical scavenging activity was to be the strongest in the $CHCl_3$ fraction at 89.3%. Using the fibrin plate method, only the butanol fraction showed a substantial plasmin activity of 0.62 units/ml. In thrombin inhibitory activity tests, a 100-fold dilution of the ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest activity of 46.9%. In the a-glucosidase inhibitory activity assay, a 100-fold dilution of the $CHCl_3$ fraction showed the strongest activity of 80.6%. In conclusion, the combined results of this study demonstrate that the extracts of Glycyrrhiza uralensis can be used as a material for the development of biofunctional foods for diabetics.

본 연구는 streptozotocin으로 유발된 당뇨 흰쥐에게 동과에서 추출한 각 용매분획물을 14일간 경구투여한 후 혈당과 지질함량을 분석하였으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 당뇨대조군과 비교시 실험 14일 후 당뇨실험군에서 체중감소가 낮아졌으며, 실험 10일째부터는 당뇨실험군에서 혈당 수준이 당뇨대조군보다 감소하는 경향을 보이었다. 특히 $CHCl_3$분획물 투여군과 $H_2O$분획물 투여군은 14일째에 유의적으로 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 당뇨실험군은 혈장 유리지방산 수준에서도 당뇨대조군에 비해 낮은 수준이었으며 $CHCl_{3}$분획물 투여군은 혈장 중성지방 수준에서도 낮게 나타났으나 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. ALT와 AST 활성도는 당뇨대조군에 비해 $H_2O$분획물 투여군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다. 결론적으로 당뇨 유발 흰쥐에게 $CHCl_3$분획물의 투여가 실험적 당뇨에 대하여 체중의 감소를 둔화시키며 특히 혈장 중 포도당의 함량을 유의성있게 감소시키는 것으로 보아 당뇨병에 대한 개선효과가 있다고 사료된다.

Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge) is a traditional Korean medicine that is commonly used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as edema, arthritis, hepatitis, and endangitis. The several extracts of danshen were tested for antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated in clinic by broth microdilution method, the checkerboard, and time-kill methods to evaluate the synergistic effects of the combination of the extracts with antibiotics. The chloroform ($CHCl_3$) and n-hexane (HEX) extracts [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), 0.0078-0.3125${\mu}g/mL$; minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), 0.019-0.625${\mu}g/mL$] were found to have strong antibacterial activity against MRSA. Additionally, when the $CHCl_3$ and HEX extracts were co-administered with ampicillin or oxacillin, a synergistic effect against MRSA was observed. Furthermore, a time-kill study evaluating the effects of the extracts against MRSA indicated that treatment with the $CHCl_3$ extract in combination with ampicillin or oxacillin produced rapid bactericidal activity. These results suggest that danshen extracts may have potently antimicrobial activity and thus, it can be a suitable phytotherapeutic agent for treating MRSA infections.

In the present study, we has been isolated the anti-cariogenic component, stigmasterol, from Aralia continentalis (A. continentalis) and identified by MS, $^1$H-NMR and $^{13}$C-NMR and also investigated the anti-cariogenic properties of stigmasterol. The methanol extract of ,A. continentalis showed concentration-dependent inhibitory activity against the growth and acid production of S. mutans. The MeOH extract was suspended in H$_2$O and sequentially partitioned with n-hexane, CHCl$_3$, EtOAc, and n-BuOH. The CHCl$_3$ fraction showed remarkable antibacterial activity against S. mutans. The anti-cariogenic compound, stigmasterol, has been isolated successively through the screening system and various chromatography methods. Anti-cariogenic properties of stigmasterol were also investigated. From this active chloroform subfraction, isolation and identification finally gave (24E)-stigmasta-5,22-dien-3${\beta}$-ol (stigmasterol) {[a]$_D\;^{25}$ -48.33$^{\circ}C$(C 0.28, CHCl$_3$)} by spectroscopic methods (MS, $^1$H-NMR and $^{13}$C-NMR) as an active principle. The compound, stigmasterol, showed significant growth, acid production, adhesion and water-insoluble glucan synthesis inhibitory effect against S. mutans. These results suggest that stigmasterol from ,A. continentalis may inhibit cariogenic properties of S. mutans and these properties may provide some scientific rationales that the local inhabitants used the extracts for treatment of dental diseases.

Dangyuja (Citrus grandis Osbeck) is a native plant growing only on Jeju Island in Korea. In this study, antiinflammatory effect of dangyuja leaves on a murine macrophage cell line was investigated. RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, $1{\mu}g/mL$) to induce expression of pro-inflammatory markers [interleukin (IL)-6 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)]. The crude extract (80% MeOH Ex.) and solvent fractions (hexane, $CHCl_3$, EtOAc, BuOH, and $H_2O$ Ex.) were obtained from dangyuja leaves. The $CHCl_3$ fraction inhibited the nitric oxide (NO) and IL-6 production in a dose-dependent manner. Also, the $CHCl_3$ fraction inhibited mRNA expression and protein levels of iNOS in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the $CHCl_3$ fraction inhibited LPS-induced nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}B$ activation and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs: ERK, JNK, and p38). These results suggest that dangyuja leaves may inhibit LPS-induced production of inflammatory markers by blocking NF-${\kappa}B$ and MAPKs signaling in RAW 264.7 cells.

쉽싸리(L. lucidus)가 가지는 효능의 하나로 알려진 항염증효과의 활성물질을 파악하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 항염효과는 LPS로 활성화한 macrophage 264.7이 생산하는 NO의 감소효과를 측정함으로써 평가하였다. 쉽싸리 추출물에서 얻은 비극성 분획물인 $CHCl_3$ 분획물은 농도의존적으로 현저히 NO 생산을 감소시켰다. 이에 비해 극성 분획물인 BuOH 분획물은 그 효과가 약하였다. Silica gel column chromatography에 의해 이 $CHCl_3$ 분획물로부터 주요 화합물인 ursolic acid를 분리하고 분광학적 방법으로 동정할 수 있었다. 효과가 약하였던 BuOH 분획물로부터 diaion HP-20 column chromatography와 sephadex LH-20 column chromatography로 이 분획의 주요 화합물인 rosmarinic acid를 분리하고 역시 분광학적 방법으로 동정하였다. Ursolic acid는 농도의존적으로 NO 생산을 억제하였으나 rosmarinic acid는 그 효과가 상대적으로 약하였다. 이러한 사실로부터 쉽싸리의 항염효과는 주로 ursolic acid의 존재 때문임을 알 수 있었다.

The protective effect of Carthamus tinctorius L. Semen on the carbon tetrachloride induced liver damaged rats were studied. First, methanol extract was prepared and the extract was fractionated with hexane, $CHCl_3$, BuOH and $H_2O$ respectively. Animals were divided into 6 groups and each group was treated with each fraction respectively. To investigate the hepato-protective effect of Carthamus tinctorius L. Semen AST, ALT, albumin, TP, cholesterol, TG, creatinine and total bilirubin values were measured in each treated group and compared with those of control group. GST activity was increased in BuOH group compared with the control group. In malondialdehyde levels, all fractions was decreased compared with the control group. In histopathologic examination, hexane and $H_2O$ fractions of Carthamus tinctorius L. Semen observed mild degree of ballooning degeneration. The results show the protective effect of Hexane,$CHCl_3$, BuOH and $H_2O$ fractions on hepatotoxicity of $CHl_4$ by decreasing ALT, AST, bilirubin, cholesterol, TG and BUN. It seems that the decrease of MDA are related to the recovery effect. The protective effects of Carthamus tinctorius L. Semen fractions in hepatotoxic pathogenesis by $CHl_4$ was suggested in blood chemistry analysis and histopathologic examination.

In our present study, we investigated the effects of continentalic acid on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilm. Methanol extract of Aralia continentalis (A. continentalis) was suspended in water and sequentially partitioned with CHCl3, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and n-butanol (n-BuOH). The CHCl3 fraction showed the highest activity and an antibacterial compound against S. mutans was isolated from this preparation through various chromatography methods by bioassay guided fractionation. MS, $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ analysis showed that the active principle was continentalic acid which was confirmed to show significant inhibitory effects against S. mutans biofilm. These results may provide some scientific rationale for the traditional use these extracts for the treatment of dental diseases.
