The current definition of Arismatis Rhizoma is the tuberous root of Alisma orientale Juzepzuk in the Korean Pharmacopoeia, but there is still no marker compound. So it has difficulties in quality control. Therefore, in this study, we have established a method to analyze alisol B and alisol B acetate using HPLC as a marker compounds of Arismatis Rhizoma. As the result of the analysis, alisol B content was ranged from 0.02% to 0.50% and alisol B acetate content was ranged from 0.12% to 0.25% in 40 samples. The stability of alisol B and alisol B acetate was investigated during 24 months. As a result, alisol B acetate was significantly decreased. The marker compound of Arismatis Rhizoma is alisol B acetate and the content of 0.05% or more is suitable by applying the stability results.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of mixed extracts from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Alisma orientale Juzepzuk, and Atractylodes japonica Koidzumi on interleukin (IL)-6-induced damage to tight junction (TJ) integrity in a Caco-2 cell model. Methods : We assessed the TJ integrity of Caco-2 monolayers by measuring the flux of FITC-labeled dextran and transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Additionally, we evaluated the expression of TJ proteins, such as ZO-1 and Occludin. Results : Treatment with IL-6 (50 ng/ml) increased TJ permeability and decreased TEER values of Caco-2 monolayers. Pretreatment with HTB (50-200 ㎍/ml) for 1 h significantly alleviated IL-6-induced TJ disruption, as evidenced by reduced TJ permeability and increased TEER values. Furthermore, HTB reversed the IL-6-induced inhibition of TJ protein expression, including ZO-1 and Occludin. Conclusions : These findings indicate that HTB protects barrier function by reversing the IL-6-induced decrease in TJ integrity and the suppression of TJ protein expression.

Oryeong-san (ORS) is a traditional Korean herbal medicine widely used for renal associated diseases, composed of five medicine herbs; Atractylodes japonica Koidzumi, Cinnamomum cassia Presl, Polyporus umbellatus Fries, Poria cocos Wolf and Alisma orientale Juzepzuk. We studied to improve the convenience of intake and portability by developing modernized dosage forms, and examined the effect on anti-inflammation of ORS. In order to develop the tablet formulation of ORS (ORS-F), the tablets were evaluated on the basis of physical characteristics include diameter, thickness, weight variation, hardness, friability and disintegration. To analyze the marker components of ORS-F, eight index markers from five herbal medicines were chosen. And the method using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode-array detector method was established for the simultaneous analysis. The biological activities were examined the effect of ORS-F on pro-inflammation mediated by LPS-stimulation. The production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines were determined by reacting cultured medium with griess reagent and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) were investigated by Western blot and RT-PCR. The anti-oxidant activities of OJS-F increased markedly, in a dose-dependent manner. and, The total phenolic compound and flavonoids contents of OJS-F were 10.20±0.09 ㎍/㎎ and 12.86±0.86 ㎍/㎎. OJS-F which is LPS has diminished in the LPS-induced release of inflammatory mediators (NO, iNOS, COX2 and PGE2) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) from the RAW264.7 macrophages. Therefore, the developed formulation for tablet of ORS-F provide efficiency and usability, and indicated effect of anti-inflammation.
