Acanthopanax species are well known medicinal plants in Korea for their adaptogenic efficacy. Regarding to the botanical classification of Acanthopanax koreanum, an indigenous species in Jeju island of Korea, it has been classified as different species of Acanthopanax genus. However, the morphological characteristics of A. koreanum are very similar with other Acanthopanax species, especially with A. gracilistylus. In order to provide further classification information among these botanically related species, microscopic and morphological studies on these Acanthopanax species were performed. In this result, it has been found that A. koreanum is similar to A. gracilistylus in terms of anatomical observation and was distinguished from A. sieboldianus by their morphological and anatomical differences.

A new and two known lupane-triterpene glycosides were isolated from the hot MeOH fraction of the leaves of Acanthopanax gracilistylus W. W. Smith. Based on the physical properties and spectroscopic data, their chemical structures were determined as acankoreoside A (1), acankoreoside D (2), and $3{\alpha}-hydroxy-lup-23-al-20(29)-en-28-oic$ acid $28-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}4)-{$beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl$ ester (3), respectively. To our best knowledge, compand 3 appears to be novel, which was named as wujiapioside A.

Ten compounds were isolated from the stem barks of Acanthopanax gracilistylus WW Smith (AGS) by steam distillation, they were p-menta-1,5,8-triene, n-butyl isobutylphthalate, p-mentha-1,5-diene-8-ol, 8-hydroxy-p-cymene, myrtenol, trans-(+)-carveol, 1,3-di-tert-butylbenzene, 4-methyl-2,6-di-butylphenol, valencene and verbenone, respectively, characterized by GS-Mass spectra. And we have also extracted and isolated from the MeOH extracts of the stem barks of AGS, two compounds were obtained. On the basis of chemical and spectral evidence, they were syringin(l), ${\beta}-sitosterol(2)$.

The activities on the inhibition of NO on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages were investigated in this work. A simple and sensitive method has been developed and validated for fingerprinting analysis of leaves of Acanthopanax gracilistylus W.W. Smith (AGS). The cytotoxicity and inhibition of NO on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells of the extract and triterpenoids were determined. Optimal conditions of HPLC analysis were established as follows. The separation was performed with an ODS-C₁₈ column at $30^{\circ}C$, the detected wavelength was 210 nm, the flow rate was 1 mL/min, and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (0.05% phosphoric acid)-0.05% phosphoric acid solution with gradient elution. Our results showed that impressic acid and acankoreaogenin was more effective on the inhibition of NO than the methanol extract and other compounds. There were seventeen peaks coexisted with similarities above 0.95 and nine lupane-triterpenoids including acankoreaogenin and impressic acid detected and identified. The result of anti-inflammatory activities provides a potential explanation for the use of AGS leaves as a herbal medicine in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Our results also show that acankoreanogenin and impressic acid may be potentially useful in developing new anti-inflammatory agents. In addition, the fingerprint chromatography clearly illustrated and confirmed the material basis for the anti-inflammatory activities of this plant.

Inhibitory effects of 130 medicinal plants on hyaluronidase activity were analyzed. The medicinal plants are clinically used as herbal medicines for korean traditional prescriptions. Six out of the 130 herbal medicines exhibited more than 50% of inhibition on hyaluronidase activity by their total methanol extracts with 5mg/ml as a final concentration. The active total methanol extracts were prepared from cortex of Acantbopanax gracilistylus, lignum of Caesalpinia sappan, radix of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, radicis cortex of Morus alba, herba of Prunella vulgaris, and radix of Sanguisorba officinalis. These active total methanol extracts were sequentially fractionated with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and then water. Among the solvent-fractionated extracts, the butanol fractions of Acantbopanax gracilistylus and Glycyrrhiza uralensis with 1 mg/ml as the final concentration exhibited more than 50% of inhibition on hyaluronidase activity, and the other fractions with the same concentration did less than 20% of inhibition.

Thirty-two methanol extracts of thirty-one Vietnamese medicinal plants were evaluated for the cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines, including A549, MCF-7, HT 1080, Huh-7, and HepG2. Of these, the nine extracts of Acanthopanax trifoliatus (4), Acanthopanax gracilistylus (5), Siegesbeckia orientalis (10), Betula alnoides (11), Passiflora edulis (18), Zanthoxylum simulans (leaf, 23), Adenosma caeruleum (26), Solanum verbascifolium (29), and Alpinia malaccensis (31), exhibited high potent cytotoxic activity showing a certain degree of selectivity against the different cell types, with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from 2.1 to $3.8\;{\mu}g/mL$.

오갈피나무 속의 가시오갈피(Eleutherococcus senticosu), 섬오갈피나무(Eleutherococcus gracilistylus), 오가나무(Eleutherococcus sieboldianus), 오갈피나무(Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus)의 잎 부위를 이용하여 $\alpha$-glucosidase와 $\alpha$-amylase 활성 저해 효과를 통한 혈당강하 효과를 평가 하였다. $\alpha$-Glucosidase 활성 저해 효과를 비교한 결과 섬오갈피 잎 추출물이 acarbose 대비 약 43.38%의 활성 저해 효과를 나타내었고, 가시오갈피 잎 추출물이 41.24%의 저해 효과를 보였다. $\alpha$-Amylase 활성 저해 효과를 측정한 결과 acarbose가 10 mg/mL의 농도에서 73.25%의 활성 저해 효과를 보였으며, 가시오갈피 잎 추출물이 acarbose 대비 91.90%의 높은 활성 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 streptozotocin (STZ)으로 당뇨를 유도한 모델에 2주간 오갈피나무 속 식물 추출물을 섭취시킨 후 혈당과 지질 개선 효과를 탐색한 결과 STZ 투여로 인하여 모든 당뇨 유발군은 정상군에 비하여 혈당 수준이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 당뇨 유발 대조군(C)과 대비하여 시료 투여군인 가시오갈피(T1), 섬오갈피나무(T2), 오가나무(T3), 오갈피나무(T4)군 모두 혈당이 크게 감소하였다. 혈중 지질 농도 변화 실험 중 총 콜레스테롤의 함량은 정상군에 비하여 당뇨 유발 대조군은 증가하는 경향을 나타내는 반면 약물 투여군인 가시오갈피(T1), 오가나무 (T3), 오갈피나무(T4)군에서는 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였다. HDL-cholesterol은 오가나무군에서 대조군에 비하여 55.61% 가장 크게 유의적으로 증가하였다. LDLcholesterol의 경우 정상군과 대조군과의 큰 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나 섬오갈피나무, 오가나무에서는 유의적으로 증가하였고, 가시오갈피와 오갈피나무 투여군에서는 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하였다. 혈중 중성지방의 경우 또한 총 콜레스테롤과 유사하게 대조군의 경우 혈중 농도가 증가하였다. 약물 투여군인 오가나무군은 60.16%, 오갈피군은 60.80%, 가시오갈피군은 50.16% 대조군 대비 유의적으로 감소하였다. 적출한 간 내의 중성지방의 농도를 측정한 결과 대조군의 경우 정상군에 비교하여 유의적인 증가를 보였으며, 가시오갈피군, 섬오갈피나무군은 각각 대조군 대비 유의적으로 감소하였다. 이상의 결과들에서 오갈피나무 속 추출물들은 혈당강하 및 당뇨대사 이상으로 인한 지질대사의 개선에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
