The antioxidant activity of the extract of Erigeron annuus was assessed by means of two different in vitro tests: bleaching of the stable 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH test) and the scavenging of authentic peroxynitrite in company with peroxynitrite generation from 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). In both tests, the 85% aq. MeOH and n-BuOH soluble fractions of the crude extract showed a significant scavenging effect on peroxynitrite and DPPH radical in comparison to L-ascorbic acid. And bioassay-guided fractionation of the n-BuOH soluble fraction led to the isolation of three compounds: Apigenin (1), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (2), and caffeic acid (3). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data and their antioxidant activities were measured by determining their capacity to scavenge peroxynitrite and the DPPH radical.

Peroxynitrite formation in vivo is implicated in numerous human diseases and there is considerable interest in the use of antioxidants and natural products for their treatment. The three components (1-3) isolated from Sargassum thunbergii as well as the organic solvent-soluble fractions and the aqueous layer of S. thunbergii were evaluated for their potential to scavenge authentic ONOO$\^$-/ and ONOO$\^$-/ derived from 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). The antioxidant activity of the individual fractions was in the order of 85% aqueous (aq.) MeOH＞n$\^$-/ BuOH＞n-hexane＞H$_2$O. The three known compounds, sargahydroquinoic acid (1), sargaquinoic acid (2) and sargachromenol (3) showed peroxynitrite-scavenging activities comparable to those of L-ascorbic acid and penicillamine. These results showed a possible antioxidant activity in major constituents of S. thunbergii.

Peroxynitrite is a cytotoxic intermediate produced by the reaction between the superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide. Flavonoids (afzelin, quercitrin and quercetin 3-O-sambubioside), and chlorogenic acid and its methyl ester obtained from leaves of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) have recently been shown to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical and to inhibit lipid peroxidation in mouse liver homogenate. The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibitory effects of the above components on peroxynitrite produced stimulated by 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) to produce superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide at the same time. In addition, the present study tests whether or not the components directly scavenge peroxynitrite itself. The results showed that the components with the aromatic ortho-dihydroxyl groups (catechol) were more potent inhibitors of peroxynitrite formation by SIN-1. In particular, the methyl ester form of chlorogenic acid showed the most potent inhibition. At $5\;{\mu}M$ concentration, the order of minimizing peroxynitrite formation were : methyl chlorogenic acid > quercitrin > quercetin 3-O-sambubioside > chlorogenic acid > afzelin. Authentic peroxynitrite was directly scavenged by the components in a manner similar to peroxynitrite formation by SIN-1. In particular, when compared with penicillamine as a positive control, methyl chlorogenate was as effective in inhibiting peroxynitrite formation and approximately 2 times more effective in scavenging an authentic peroxynitrite. These results demonstrate therefore, that components extracted from the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica effectively scavenged peroxynitrite.

Objectives : The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of Danchun-hwan(DCH) on the peroxynitrite-induced neural cell death in human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y. Methods : The cultured cells were pretreated with DCH and exposed to 3-morpholinosydnonimine(SIN-1) that simultaneously generates NO and superoxide, thus possibly forming peroxynitrite. The cell damage was assessed by using MTT assay and crystal violet staining. Results : Exposure of the cells to SIN-1 for 24hr induced 75% apoptotic cell death, as evaluated by the occurrence of morphological nuclear changes characteristic of apoptosis using 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylinole(DAPI). However, pretreatment of SH-SY5Y with the water extracts of DCH, inhibited the apoptotic cell death in a dose-dependent manner. DCH also inhibited SIN-1-induced apoptotic caspase 3-like protease activity in a dose-dependent manner. DCH recovered the depleted glutathione levels by SIN-1. Conclusions : Taken together, it is suggested that DCH protected human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y, from the free radical injury mediated by peroxynitrite by a mechanism of elevating antioxidant, GSH.

본 실험에서는 청국장의 항산화 기능성 증진을 위해 녹차를 첨가한 서리태 청국장을 제조한 후 LLC-$PK_1$ 세포를 이용하여 SIN-1유도 세포 독성에 대한 보호효과를 검토하였다. 항산화능이 대두보다 우수한 서리태를 주재료로, 부재료로 녹차를 농도별(0.5%, 2.0%, 5.0%)로 달리하여 청국장을 각각 제조한 후 $ONOO^-$에 의해 유도된 산화적 스트레스에 대해 서리태 청국장과 녹차첨가 서리태 청국장의 산화스트레스에 대한 개선효과를 비교한 결과, 녹차첨가 서리태청국장 추출물은 SOD, GSH-Px와 같은 항산화효소의 활성을 증가시키고, 지질과산화를 억제하여 세포생존율을 증가시킴으로써 산화적 스트레스에 대한 보호효과를 나타냈었으며, 특히 녹차를 5.0% 첨가했을 때의 효과가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 녹차 첨가 서리태 청국장은$ONOO^-$에 의해 유발된 산화적 스트레스를 개선함으로써 이로 인한 질병을 예방하는 항산화제로서 역할을 할 것으로 생각된다

In this study, antioxidant activities of acetone/dichloromethane and methanol extracts of Arctic seaweeds were investigated. The antioxidant properties of both extracts of arctic seaweed were evaluated using two different peroxynitrite tests, including scavenging power on authentic peroxynitrite and inhibitory activities on peroxynitrite generation from 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) producing superoxide anion and nitric oxide simultaneously in vitro. At concentration of $10\;{\mu}g/ml$, the acetone/dichloromethane and methanol extracts of Odonthalia dentata exhibited 54.6 and 64.2% inhibition against peroxynitrite generation from SIN-1 while they exhibited 24.3 and 23.0% scavenging activities on authentic peroxynitrite, respectively. On the other hand, the acetone/dichloromethane extract of Polysiphonia stricta exhibited 61.8% inhibition only against the induced peroxynitrite from SIN-1. Furthermore, the crude extracts of Odonthalia dentata and Polysiphonia stricta were fractionated into n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-BuOH, and $H_2O$ fractions, successively, and only 85% aq. MeOH fraction exhibited the best inhibition.

Previously, we have shown that astrocytes deprived of glucose became highly vulnerable to peroxynitrite, and adenosine and its metabolites attenuated the gliotoxicity via the preservation of cellular ATP level. Here, we found that adenosine and related metabolites prevented the disruption of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) in glucose-deprived rat primary astrocytes exposed to 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1), a peroxynitrite releasing agent. Exposure to glucose deprivation and SIN-1(2h) significantly disrupted MTP in astrocytes, and adenosine prevented it in dose-dependent manner with an $EC_{50}\;of\;5.08{\mu}M$. Adenosine also partially prevented the cell death by myxothiazol, a well-known inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration. Blockade of adenosine deamination or intracellular transport with erythro-9-(-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenosine (EHNA) or S-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI), respectively, completely reversed the protective effect of adenosine. Other purine nucleos(t)ides including inosine, guanosine, ATP, ADP, AMP, ITP, and GTP also showed similar protective effects. This study indicates that adenosine and related purine nucleos(t)ides may protect astrocytes from peroxynitrite-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Crude extracts of Limonium tetragonum and their solvent-partitioned fractions were evaluated for their potential to scavenge authentic $ONOO^-$, and $ONOO^-$ derived from 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). Four flavonol glycosides (1-4) were isolated by activity-guided separation. Their chemical structures were elucidated by extensive 2 D NMR experiments and by comparison with published spectral data. These compounds were also estimated for their peroxynitrite scavenging effects. The scavenging ratios of compounds 1-4 on authentic $ONOO^-$ were 56, 37, 56, and 54%, respectively, at a concentration of 1 ${\mu}M$. On the other hand, the inbihition ratios of compounds 1-4 against $ONOO^-$ generation from SIN-1 were 59, 39, 44, and 54% at the same concentration, respectively.

신장에서 발생한 산화적 스트레스는 조직을 손상시키고 이는 만성신장질환으로 이어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 LLC-$PK_1$ 신장세포를 이용하여 산화적 스트레스 개선 효과를 살펴보았다. LLC-$PK_1$ 세포에 무막줄기세포추출물을 처리했을 때 체내 항산화 단백질인 heme-oxygenase-1, thioredoxin reductase 1, 및 NADPH quinine oxidoreductase-1의 발현이 증가함을 확인하였다. LLC-$PK_1$에 산화적 스트레스를 유도하기 위하여 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1)을 처리한 결과 세포생존율이 감소하여 산화적 스트레스로 인해 세포가 손상됨을 확인하였다. 그러나 무막줄기세포추출물을 처리하였을 때 세포생존율이 증가하였으며, $2.5{\mu}g/mL$에서 세포생존율이 58.84%에서 64.43%까지 증가하였다. 또한 무막줄기세포추출물은 LLC-$PK_1$ 세포에서 SIN-1으로 유도된 염증 및 세포사멸을 조절하였다. 염증 관련 단백질인 inducible nitric oxide synthase와 cyclooxygenase-2는 무막줄기세포 추출물을 처리했을 때 단백질 발현이 감소하였고, 세포사멸과 관련된 B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X protein/B-cell lymphoma-2 비율과 cleaved caspase-3, cleaved-poly (ADP-ribose) polymeras의 단백질 발현이 감소함을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 무막줄기세포출물은 SIN-1을 처리한 LLC-$PK_1$ 세포에서 산화적 스트레스에 대한 보호 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이들 결과를 바탕으로 무막줄기세포추출물의 항산화 기능성 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Persicaria orientalis (L.) Spach (Po)와 Potentilla fragarioides var. major Maxim (Pf)의 추출물로 reactive oxygen species (ROS)와 같은 free radical의 억제를 통한 항염증 활성을 살펴보았다. 또한, Po와 Pf로 LPS를 처리한 murine macrophage RAW 264.7 세포에서 발생한 nitric oxide의 저해와 NF-${\kappa}B$의 핵으로 translocation의 저해를 살펴보았다. 3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1) $50{\mu}M$에 의해 유도된 ROS의 Po에 의한 50% 저해값 ($IC_{50}$)은 $23.35{\pm}1.27mg/mL$, Pf에 의한 $IC_{50}$은 $8.46{\pm}1.22mg/mL$이었다. 또한, SIN-1 $50{\mu}M$에 의해 유도된 peroxynitrite의 Po에 의한 $IC_{50}$은 $2.19{\pm}0.04mg/mL$, Pf에 의한 $IC_{50}$은 $0.80{\pm}0.02mg/mL$이었다. LPS 1 mg/mL을 처리한 RAW 264.7 세포에서 Nitric oxide는 증가하였으나 Po와 Pf 추출물을 처리한 그룹에서 농도의존적, 유의적으로 감소하였다. Po 추출물을 처리한 그룹의 Nitric oxide 생성량은 $13.34{\pm}0.67{\mu}M$, Pf 추출물을 처리한 그룹의 Nitric oxide 생성량은 $11.45{\pm}0.57{\mu}M$이었다. 또한, Po와 Pf 추출물은 LPS를 처리한 RAW 264.7 세포에서 NF-${\kappa}B$의 핵으로의 translocation을 저해하였다. 그러므로, Po와 Pf는 항염증 소재로서의 가능성이 충분하다고 사료된다.
