A phytochemical investigation of Allium macrostemon Bunge (Liliaceae) afforded the new pregnane steroidal glycoside, named allimacroside F (1), along with three known glycosides, benzyl-O-${\alpha}-{\text\tiny{L}}$-rhamnopyranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-glucopyranoside (2), phenylethyl-O-${\alpha}-{\text\tiny{L}}$-rhamnopyranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-glucopyranoside (3), (Z)-3-hexenyl-O-${\alpha}-{\text\tiny{L}}$-rhamnopyranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-glucopyranoside (4). The identification and structural elucidation of a new compound (1) was carried out based on spectral data analyses ($^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, $^1H-^1H$ COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) and HR-FAB-MS.

The aim of this study was to compare the biological activities of whole-plant (WAE), bulb (BAE), and leaf (LAE) extracts of Allium macrostemon. The antioxidant activities, total polyphenol contents, and anti-adipogenic activities of WAE and LAE were superior to those of BAE, whereas the biological effects of WAE and LAE were similar. Therefore, the effect of LAE on adipogenesis was further investigated. Treatment of preadipocytes with LAE at 100 g/mL resulted in the inhibition of intracellular lipid accumulation by 49.64%. Consistent with this result, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR showed that LAE treatment decreased the gene expressions of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), C/EBPα and stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1). Thus, LAE attenuates the adipogenesis of preadipocytes by suppressing the expression of adipogenic and lipogenic genes. These results suggest that LAE can be potentially useful as a functional ingredient to prevent obesity in the food industry.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the origin and characteristics of Allii Macrostemi Bulbus. Methods: Bibliographies on Allii Macrostemi Bulbus that focused on the origin of the material were examined. Based on this analysis, an inventory was prepared and the characteristics of the original material are presented. Results: Korean and foreign literature were reviewed to prepare an inventory, and Based on these results, the state of plants either currently cultivated or distributed as medicines, , and are summarized. 1. The origin of Allii Macrostemi Bulbusis the scaly stem of Allii macrozoon Bunge or Allii bakeri Regel. 2. The current white water mark in circulation is the scaly stem of the sandalae Allii macromoleon Bunge. 3. Scilla sinensis(Lour.) Merr. is. 4. The properties of Scilla sinensis(Lour.) Merr. are cool and bitter, healing the forests, mowing the ointment, stopping the oxen, and curing the absence of distractions and stuffy symptoms and removal of the placenta after childbirth. Conclusions: The origin of Allii Macrostemi Bulbusis the scaly stem of Allii macrozoon Bunge or Allii bakeri Regel.

The HWND_G02 (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Crataegus pinnatifida, Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg, Cnidium officinale Makino) and HWND_G03 (Cinnamonum cassia Blume, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Crataegus pinnatifida, Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg, Cnidium officinale Makino, Allium macrostemon Bunge) are new natural mixture composed with several oriental herbs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of HWND extracts on high cholesterol diet (HCD)-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: control, HCD, atorvastatin (5 mg/kg, po), ethanolic extracts of HWND_G02 (1,000 mg/kg, po) and HWND_G03 (1,000 mg/kg, po) were administered to the HCD-induced hyperlipidemic rats for 4 weeks to evaluate their anti-hyperlipidemic activities. HWND extracts markedly decreased body and liver wight gain, and recovered serum lipid levels, such as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) in the HCD-induced hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, the lipid levels (TC and TG) and the lipid accumulation were significantly lowered in the liver tissue of HWND-administrated rats. After a HCD, each group had a lower atherogenic index (AI) compared to the HCD group. In conclusion, these data suggest that HWND extracts could be the candidate for the material to prevent hyperlipidemia.

In this study, I invastigate about oriental medical drug, dosage form and directions in external therapy of contact dermatitis. and after study on relationship oriental medical drug, dosage form and directions with cause, symptom and differentiation of symptom and sign. The results are as follows; 1. Most frequently used oriental medical drug is until qing(淸) dynasty Eriocheir sinensis H. Milne-Edwards(蟹), Salix babylonica L.(柳葉), Natrii sulfas(芒硝), Allium macrostemon Bge.(해), Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.(荷葉), nowadays in Korea and China Phellodendron amurense Rupr.(黃柏), Gypsum(石膏), Rheum palmatum L.(大黃), Baphicacanthus cusia Bremek(靑黛), Talcum(滑石). 2. In the frequency of dosage form, until qing(淸) dynasty powder 1case, liquor 49cases, liquer and solid mixture 58cases, nowadays Korea and China powder 16cases, liquor 96cases, liquer and solid mixture 59cases. 3. Most frequently used directions of dosage is thinly attaching method(薄貼法), attaching method(敷貼法), furnigating and cleansing method(熏洗法), cleansing method(洗傷法), wet dressing method(濕敷法), spreading powder method(撲粉法), plaster method(途차法), rubbing skin method(摩擦法) 4. In the external therapy of contact dermatitis, oriental medical drug's usage is based on stage of contact dermatitis In acute stage, most frequently used drug is heat and damp remove drug(淸熱燥濕藥), nature of drug(藥性) is bitter taste and cold charactor(苦寒), In chronic stage, most frequently used drug is nourishing the blood drug(養血藥), promoting blood circulation drug(活血藥). 5. The dosage form of drug is based on symptom. In acute stage, when papules and vesicles, or erosion and exudation is the main symptom of skin, liquor or powder is used, when erosion and crust is the main symptom of skin, plaster is used. In chronic stage, plaster is used. 6. In the directions of dosage is based on dosage form of drug and symptom. In acute stage, when papules and vesicles is the main symptom of skin, fumigating and cleansing method, cleansing method, plaster method is used, when erosion, vesicles and exudation the main symptom of skill, cleansing method, wet dressing method, spreading powder method, attaching method, spreading powder method is used, when crust is the main symptom of skin, plaster method is used. In chronic stage, plaster method, rubbing skin method is used.
