Background: Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of hematuresis and uterine bleeding in Korea. It has been reported to have anti-obesity, anti-diabetes and anti-inflammaotry effect by regulating the inflammatory signaling pathway. However, the preventive effect of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb on gastritis has not been elucidated. Thus, in the present study, we evaluated the effects of the water extract of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb (APW) using HCl/EtOH-induced gastritis rat models. Method and Results: Gastritis was induced in rats by HCl/EtOH administration. The rats in each group were orally administered with two doses of APW (100 and 500 mg/kg). Omeprazole was used as a positive control drug. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) levels in stomach. The treatment with 500 mg/kg APW reduced the gastric ulcer area. The APW treatment prevented a decreased in $PGE_2$ concentration induced by HCl/EtOH in rats. In the micronucleus test, the ratio of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes to polychromatic erythrocytes showed no significant change in the APW-treated group compared with the control group. Conclusions: These results indicate that APW could be used to prevent the gastritis caused by the HCl/EtOH-induced damage to stomach lining. In addition, the APW treatment showed no significant change in results of the micronucleus test. However, further experiments are required to determine how APW influenced the secretion of mucus and gastric acid using the chromosome aberration test and bacterial reverse mutation assay.

우리 나라 자생 짚신나물(Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb.) 수집종의 분포, 자생지의 환경 및 자생지에서의 형태적 특성조사를 실시하고, 자생종 짚신나물와 도입 짚신나물 간의 형태적 특성 및 유연관계를 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 수집된 종 중에서 하동지역의 화개면 쌍계사와 청암면 청학동에서 수집된 2종은 다른 수집종에 비하여 유전적 거리지수가 가장 가까운 수치에서 나타나 근연관계로 나타났으며, 충북 영동읍 비탄재와 경기도 강화읍 수집종간에는 유전적 거리지수는 최대값이 같은 것으로 보아 유연관계가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 2. 경남거제에서 수집(No. 7)된 것과 충북 보은에서 수집(No. 21)된 2종이 유전적으로 가장 가깝게 나타나 지역적 차이에 의한 진화에도 다양함을 보이고 있어 수집지역의 확대와 이에 따른 체계적인 선발을 통해서 우량종의 선발도 가능할 것으로 판단된다 3.증폭된 DNA band pattern에 있어서 절편크기는 300∼21000p로 PCR로 증폭된 종 상호간의 1-F값은 평균 0.624였고, 최소값 0.365, 최대값 0.827이었으며, 2개 군으로 분리되어 유전적으로 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Fiftythree species(35 families and 52 genera)of Korean medicinal plants which have been frequently used in oriental herb prescriptions or have been used as folklorics were evaluated on their short term acute toxicity and potential antitumor activities against P-388 murine lymphocytic leukemia model in vivo. Among these plants Acorus gramineus (Araceae), Agrimonia pilosa (Rosaceae), Aralia elata (Araliaceae), Dryopteris crassirhizoma (Aspidiaceae), Syringa reticulata (Oleaceae) and Calystegia japonica (Convolvulaceae) exhibited potent acute toxicity resulting from severe weight loss and death. Agrimonia pilosa (Rosaceae) showed about 33% of increased life span in comparison with that of control group mouse, but others exhibited no significant antitumor activities.

In the course of continuing efforts. the aqueous extract of the roots of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. (Rosaceae) was found to exhibit promising hepatoprotective activity. A. pilosa is a perennial herb distributed throughout South Korea. and its roots have been used as the hemostatic. antimalarial. and antidysenteric agent in oriental medicine. Chemical investigation of the aqueous extract of the roots of this plant. as guided by hepatoprotective active catechin (2). Compound 1 showed hepatoprotective effects on both tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in human level derived Hep G2 cells and tert-hydroperoxide-induced cytotoxicity in rat primary hepatocyles with $EC_{50}$ values of 66.2 $\pm$ 2.8 and 22.9 $\pm$ 2.6 $\mu\textrm{M}$ respectively.

The butanol extracts of Agrimonia pilosa (BAP) induced dose-dependent vascular relaxation of phenylephrine-precontracted aorta, which was abolished by removal of functional endothelium. Pretreatment of the endothelium-intact aortic tissues with $N^G$-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and 1H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazole-[$4,3-{\alpha}$]-quinoxalin-1-one(ODQ) inhibited the relaxation induced by BAP. BAP-induced vascular relaxation was also markedly attenuated by addition of verapamiI, while the relaxant effect of BAP was not blocked by indomethacine, glibenclamide, tetraethylammonium (TEA), atropine, or propranolo. In addition, incubation of endothelium-intact aortic rings with BAP increased the vascular production of cGMP. These results suggest that BAP relaxes vascular smooth muscle via endothelium-dependent nitric oxide/cGMP signaling pathway, which may be causally related with L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels.

Three traditional Chinese medicines, Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb, Grifola umbellata (pers.) Pilat, and Gambogia, are combined to form a compound extract, AGC. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo inhibitory effects of AGC on human gastric carcinoma MGC-803 cells were demonstrated, and the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are investigated. Our results indicate that AGC inhibited MGC-803 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner as measured by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, with an $IC_{50}$ of about $6.045{\pm}0.69{\mu}g/mL$. In vivo, AGC inhibited growth of human gastric carcinoma in xenograft tumors in nude mice, and the inhibitory rate reached 55.2% at 300 mg/kg. The pro-apoptotic activity of AGC was attributed to its ability to decrease the expression of Bcl-2 and Pro-caspase3 and increase the expression of Bax. These results demonstrate that AGC can effectively induce programmed cell death and may be a promising anti-tumor drug in human gastric carcinoma.

To assess the antioxidative activity of 12 medicinal plants on lipid peroxidation, twelves traditional medicinal plants extracted with 95% methanol were investigated the antioxidative activity using DPPH, thiocyanate acid method, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods. Out of 12 medicinal plants extracted with methanol, the extraction yields of Sedum kamtschaticum was the highest values (49.46%) among them and Geranicum sibiricum, Saururus chinensis root (R), Agrimonia pilosa leaf (L), Agrimonia pilosa root was the lowest value (9.97%). Radical scavenging effect of the selected traditional medicinal plants extracted from different extract solution were examined by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical method. Antioxidative activity of methanolic extracts was higher than those of ethanol and n-hexane extracts. Scavenging effects in Sedum kamtaschaticum (R) determined by DPPH radical showed the highest among the 12 plants. The antioxidative effects of the first four medicinal plants were similar to those of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), but higher than that of tocopherol, which was used as a handled control. Antioxidative effects of each indicated concentration of the methanolic extracts on linoleic acid by thiocyanate method was the highest in Sedum kamtschaticum and followed by Geum japonicum and Agrimonia pilosa and their antioxidative effect were similar to those of BHA, and BHT, but higher than that of tocopherol. Antioxidative effects of the selected medicinal methanolic extract on linoleic acid by thiocyanate acid method were examined for 15 days. Peroxidation of control and tocopherol group occurred on days 5 and 9, respectively, but BHA, BHT, selected medicinal methanolic extract group did not occur until on day 15. Antioxidative effects of the selected medicinal methanolic extract on linoleic acid by TBA method were examined for 15 days. Antioxidative activity was similar to those obtained by thiocyanate acid method.

크롬염의 일종인 중크롬산칼륨($K_2Cr_2O_7$)의 세포독성을 배양 NIH3T3 섬유모세포를 재료로 산화적 손상측면에서 조사하였으며, 또한 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 대한 짚신나물(Agrimonia pilosa var., AP) 추출물의 영향을 세포생존율을 비롯한 LDH 억제능 및 superoxide anion-radical (SAR) 소거능과 같은 항산화 측면에서 분석하였다. 본 실험에서 배양 NIH3T3 섬유모세포에 $25{\sim}35{\mu}M$의 $K_2Cr_2O_7$을 각각 처리한 결과, 처리 농도에 따라 대조군에 비하여 세포생존율이 유의하게 감소되었으며, 이 때 $XTT_{50}$값은 $37.5{\mu}M$에서 나타나 고독성(highly-toxic)인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 항산화제인 BHT는 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성을 유효하게 방어하였다. AP 추출물은 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 의하여 감소된 세포생존율을 유의하게 증가시킴으로서 세포독성을 방어하였다. 이와 동시에, AP 추출물은 LDH 활성 저해능을 비롯하여 SAR 소거능을 보임으로서 항산화 효과를 나타냈다. 위의 결과로부터 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 산화적 손상이 관여하고 있는 것을 확인하였고, AP 추출물은 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 독성을 항산화능에 의하여 효과적으로 방어하였다. 따라서, AP 추출물과 같은 천연성분은 크롬과 같은 산화적 손상과 관련된 독성을 방어할 수 있으므로 산화적 손상에 의한 질환 치료를 위한 물질로 활용적 가치가 크다고 사료된다.
