흰쥐의 헨레고리 수질 비후상행각에서의 전해질 재흡수와 cyclic GMP와의 관계를 알아보고자 수질비후상행각의 guanylate cyclase에 대한 furosemide와 ethacrynic acid의 영향을 관찰하였다. 또한 이들 작용과 prostaglandin의 상관관계를 알아보고자 guanylate cyclase에 대한 고효능이뇨제(furosemide, ethacrynic acid)와 cyclooxygenase 억제제들과의 상호작용을 함께 관찰하였다. furosemide와 ethacrynic acid는 guanylate cyclase의 활성을 현저히 증가시켰으며 이 증가작용은 aspirin이나 indomethacin에 의해 차단되지 않았다. arachidonic acid는 furosemide의 guanylate cyclase 활성증가작용을 유의하게 증강시켰다. 이들의 결과는 furosemide와 ethacynic acid가 직접적인 guanylate cyclase 활성촉진작용을 가지고 있으며 또한 furosemide는 prostaglandin을 경유한 간접적인 guanylate cyclase 활성 촉진작용을 가지고 있음을 나타낸다. 또한 수질 비후상행각에서의 전해질 재흡수에 cyclic GMP가 관여할 가능성을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 흑진미(Oryza sativa cv. Heugjinmi) 추출물을 이용하여 항산화 및 미백 관련 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 검증하고자 항산화 및 미백 관련 인자들의 효능을 분석하였다. 그 결과, SOD 유사 활성, FRAP, 환원력, xanthine oxidase 저해 활성, elastase저해 활성에서 대조군과 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. Tyrosinase 저해 활성은 열수 추출물에서는 효과가 없었고 에탄올 추출물에서는 59%의 억제 활성을 나타내었다. 에탄올 추출물은 B16F10 세포주에서 생존율에 영향을 미치지 않을 농도인 25, 50, 100 ㎍/mL 농도에서 cellular tyrosinase와 멜라닌 생합성을 저해하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2의 mRNA 발현을 확인한 결과는 최고농도인 100 ㎍/mL에서 각각 37%, 51%, 34%의 억제율을 보였다. 따라서 흑진미(O. sativa) 추출물은 항산화 및 미백 관련 기능성 화장품 소재로서의 활용 가능성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: Network pharmacology is a method of constructing and analyzing a drug-compound-target network to predict potential efficacy and mechanisms related to drug targets. In that large-scale analysis can be performed in a short time, it is considered a suitable tool to explore the function and role of herbal medicine. Thus, we investigated the potential functions and pathways of Chongmyunggongjin-dan (CMGJD) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) via network pharmacology analysis. Methods: Using public databases and PubChem database, compounds of CMGJD and their target genes were collected. The putative target genes of CMGJD and known target genes of AD were compared and found the correlation. Then, the network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1. and functional enrichment analysis was conducted based on the Gene Ontology (GO) Biological process and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Pathways to predict the mechanisms. Results: The result showed that total 104 compounds and 1157 related genes were gathered from CMGJD. The network consisted of 1157nodes and 10034 edges. 859 genes were interacted with AD gene set, suggesting that the effects of CMGJD are closely related to AD. Target genes of CMGJD are considerably associated with various pathways including 'Positive regulation of chemokine production', 'Cellular response to toxic substance', 'Arachidonic acid metabolic process', 'PI3K-Akt signaling pathway', 'Metabolic pathways', 'IL-17 signaling pathway' and 'Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction'. Conclusion: Through a network pharmacological method, CMGJD was predicted to have high relevance with AD by regulating inflammation. This study could be used as a basis for effects of CMGJD on AD.
