The original plant for a medicine, Forsythia collected from Wui-Sung country, Kyungsangpuk-do, Korea, was identified as Forsythia viridissima by its characteristic greenish bark and clearly square stem as observed from the culture works at the Forest Experiment Station of Sung Kyung Kwan University. F. viridissima, an indigenic plant of China, is believed to be introduced to Korea as a nursary stock or brought by seeds sometime in the past. In Korea at present two other species of Forsythia, namely, F. suspensaa and F. japonica have also been cultured besides F. viridissima as an ornamental.

본 연구에서는 새로운 주름개선 소재로서 phytoestrogen의 일종인 lignans를 각각 함유하는 연교추출물을 추출 분리하여 노화와 관련된 생리활성 효과를 확인하였다. Arctigenin과 matairesinol을 각각 함유하는 연교추출물은 처리농도가 증가함에 따라 농도 의존적으로 DPPH와 superoxide radical에 대한 소거효과를 나타내었다. DPPH radical 소거효과에서 arctigenin-rich와 matairesinol-rich는 각각 $IC_{50}$ 값이 $5.747{\mu}g/ml,\;4.450\;{\mu}g/ml$를 나타내었으며, superoxide radical 소거효과에서는 각각 1.634 mg/m1, 542.428 mg/ml로 양성 대조군으로 사용한 BHT보다 우수한 항산화 효과를 보였다. Type I collagen 합성효과도 arctigenin 및 matairesinol을 각각 함유한 연교추출물 그리고 양성 대조군 vitamin C를 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$을 처리하였을 때 각각 10.5, 26.4, 15.7%의 합성율을 보임으로써 vitamin C와 유사하거나 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. 또한, UVA에 의해 발현이 증가되는 MMP-1의 발현저해 효과는 matairesinol을 함유한 연교추출물의 경우 oleanolic acid와 유사한 저해 효과를 보였다. Matairesinol을 함유한 연교추출물을 함유한 크림의 피부 주름개선 효과를 평가하기 위하여, 눈가 주름 부위의 제품 도포 후 피부 주름의 변화와 피부거침 개선 효과를 평가하였다. 연교추출물을 함유한 크림을 약 12주간 도포하였을 경우, 깊은 주름과 총 주름수의 감소효과를 관찰할 수 있었으며, 연교추출물 2%를 적용한 인체 안전성시험에서 무자극으로 판명 되 었다. 본 연구를 통하여 lignans를 각각 함유하는 연교추출물은 항산화 효과와 생체 단백질의 30%를 구성하는 collagen의 합성효과 및 UVA에 의한 MMP-1의 발현저해 효과를 보였다. 인체에 무자극성으로 제품에 적용시 관찰되는 피부 주름개선 효과는 lignans를 각각 함유한 연교추출물을 새로운 주름개선을 위한 천연소재로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detector (DAD) method was established for the discrimination of a folk medicine Forsythia suspensa and Forsythia viridissima. Five and three representative metabolites of the lignan and phenolic glycoside classes were selected for the analysis from F. suspensa and F. viridissima, respectively. The optimal chromatographic conditions were obtained on an ODS column (5 ${\mu}m$, $4.6{\times}250$ mm) with the column temperature at $40^{\circ}C$. The mobile phase was composed of methanol and 0.3% acetic acid using an isocratic elution with the flow rate 1 mL/min. Detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ($r^2$ > 0.996) within test ranges. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) values were lower than 0.096 and 0.291 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The developed method provided satisfactory precision and accuracy with overall intra-day and inter-day variations of 0.07-0.63% and 0.14-0.62%, respectively, and the overall recoveries of 97.79-102.46% for all of the compounds analyzed. In addition, effectiveness of diverse extraction methods was compared to each other for the development of standard analytical method. The verified method was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of representative metabolites in fifty-three commercial F. suspensa samples and fifteen commercial F. viridissima samples from diverse sources. The overall analytical results showed the unequivocal differences in bioactive constituents between F. suspensa and F. viridissima.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative effects of Paeonia lactiftora Pall. (PL) seed extracts and Forsythia viridissima Lindl. (FVL) extracts on the antioxidative defense system and lipid peroxidation in the erythrocytes of rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 100 10 g were randomly assigned to nine experimental groups and fed 0.5 % cholesterol. The HC group did not receive any supplement, while the MP group was supplemented with 0.1 % methanol extract of PL seed, the MP2 group with 0.2 % methanol extract of PL seed, the EP1 group with 0.05 % ether-soluble fraction of PL seed, the EP2 group with 0.1 % ether-soluble fraction of PL seed, the MS1 group with 0.05 % methanol extract of FVL, the MS2 group with 0.1 % methanol extract of FVL, the ES group with 0.025% ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of FVL, and the ES2 group with 0.05 % ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of FVL. The experimental diets were fed ad libitum for 3 weeks. The erythrocyte SOD activity in the EP1 and EP2 groups increased 38% and 59%, respectively, when compared with the HC group, while the erythrocyte GSHpx activity in the EP1, EP2, and ES2 groups increased 30%, 31 %, and 29%, respectively, when compared with the HC group. The level of erythrocyte TBARS was significantly lower in the MP2, EP1, and EP2 groups than in the HC group, yet the level of serum TBARS was significantly lower in the all supplemented groups than in the HC group. The level of serum HDL- TBARS was significantly lower in the EP1 and EP2 groups than in the HC group, while the level of serum LDL- TBARS was significantly lower in the all the supplemented groups than in the HC group. Accordingly, the results indicated that the PL seed extracts and FVL extracts reduced oxidative damage by activating the antioxidative defense system in the erythrocytes of rats fed a high-cholesterol diet.

본 연구는 한국산 쑥속 23분류군에 대하여 두상화서의 세부 형질을 조사하여 분류학적 중요도를 파악하고자 하였다. 쑥속의 속내 분류에 있어서 전통적인 아속의 구분형질인 중앙화의 임성 여부에 의해 중앙화가 불임성인 Dracunculus아속과 중앙화가 임성인 Artemisia아속으로 구분되었다. Artemisia아속 내에서 절을 구분하는 형질로 알려진 화탁의 털 유무는 화탁에 털이 밀생하거나, 성기게 나는 Absinthium절과 화탁에 털이 없는 Abrotanum절, Artemisia절과 구분되었다. 그러나 Abrotanum절의 큰비쑥(A. fukudo), 더위지기(A. sacrorum)와 Artemisia절의 외잎쑥(A. viridissima)에서 성기게 털이 있는 화탁이 관찰됨으로, 절의 식별형질로서 인정되는 무모성 화탁의 가치는 재검토되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 이외에 관찰된 형질 중 두상화서의 전체 형태와 크기, 주두정단의 특징, 포편의 털, 중앙화와 주변화 화관의 형태 등은 종의 식별로서 가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
