We have examined the relaxational response to the water extract of Angelica gigas $N_{AKAI}$ (AG), Gingko biloba $L_{INNE}$ (GB), Acanthopanax senticosus $H_{ARMS}.$ (AP) and Augumented-Four-Substance Decoction (AG-FSD, GB-FSD, AP-FSD) in isolated thoracic aorta from sprague dawley(SD) rat. Rat thoracic aorta was investigated in vessel segments suspended for isometric tension recording by polygraph. Responses to AG, GB, AP and AG-FSD, GB-FSD, AP-FSD were investigated in vessels precontracted with 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) were compared in vasodilation effect. We found that the thoracic aorta segments responded to AG, GB, AP and AG-FSD, GB-FSD, AP-FSD with a dose-dependent vasodilation. The 5-hydroxytryptamine induced contraction at $10^{-4}M$ were inhibited by 26.3%, 75.8%, 87.5% and 6.9%, 22.6%, 30.8% after addition of the 0.1 g/mL water extract of AG, GB, AP and AG-FSD, GB-FSD, AP-FSD. In conclusion, AG, GB, AP and AG-FSD, GB-FSD, AP-FSD induced relaxation in the isolated rat thoracic aorta were composed of dose-dependent relaxation. AP-FSD has very potent vasodilation.

Irradiated and non-irradiated Korean medicinal herbs were extracted by water and 70% ethanol. Antimicrobial activity of these extracts were invesigated against selected food hygiene microoganisms. The ethanol extracts of the non-irradiated Agrimonia pilosa ledebour japonica Nakai, Curcuma longa Linne and Angelica gigas Nakai were completely inhibited on four species of bacteria, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Clostridium perfringenes, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. Also, above four strains did not have antibacterial activity in the water-ethanol mixtures. Futhermore, the ehtanol extracts of the non-irradiated Agimonia pilosa ledebour Japonica Nakai, Curcuma Iedoaria Roscoe, Curcuma longa Linne and Scutellaria baikalensis George were shown inhibitory effects against Aspergillus flavus and Pen icillium islandicum. And the water extract of Scutellaria baikalensis George was the same effect to these molds. Essentially the same results were observed when samples irradiated at a dose of 10 kGy.

Background: Cyanazine is used as a pre-emergent herbicide once during the growing season to control weeds of many upland crops worldwide. This study aimed to establish a method to determined cyanazine residue levels in major medicinal crops by using high performance liquid chromatography-UV detection/mass spectometry (HPLC-UVD/MS). Methods and Results: Cyanazine residue was extracted with acetone from the raw products of four representative medicinal plants - Scutellaria baicalensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Platycodon grandiflorum and Angelica gigas. The extract was diluted with a large volume of saline water and directly partitioned into dichloromethane to remove polar co-extractives in the aqueous phase. It was then purifined using optimized Florisil column chromatography. HPLC analysis conducted using an octadecylsilyl column allowed the successful separation of cyanazine from co-extractives of the samples, and the amount was sensitively quantified by ultraviolet absorption at 225 nm with no interference. The accuracy and precision of the proposed method were validated by conducting recovery experiments on each medicinal crop sample fortified with cyanazine at two concentration levels per crop in triplicate. Conclusions: The mean recoveries ranged from 91.2% to 105.3% for the four representative medicinal crops. The coefficients of variation were less than 10%, irrespective of the sample types and fortification levels. The limit of quantification of cyanazine was 0.02 mg/kg as verified by the recovery experiment. A confirmatory method was performed by liquid chromatography/MS using selected-ion monitoring technique to clearly identify the suspected residue.

The purpose of this research relates to the development of natural preservatives. Here, Samultang ingredients (Rehmannia glutinosa, Cnidium officinale, Paeonia lactiflora and Angelica gigas) were extracted with distilled water and 70% ethanol, and the antibacterial and antioxidative activities of the extracts were tested. The highest polyphenol contents were found in the water and ethanol extracts of Paeonia lactiflora (100 g) at 843.2 mg and 721.1 mg, respectively (p<0.05). The ethanol extract of Cnidium officinale demonstrated antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes and S. aureus, and that from Paeonia lactiflora against S. aureus. The electron donating abilities (EDA) of the water extracts ranged from 67 to 84%, and those of the ethanol extracts ranged from 68 to 84% at 1,000 ppm. The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities of the water extracts ranged from 47 to 50%, and those of the ethanol extracts ranged from 50 to 56% at 1,000 ppm. The nitrite scavenging abilities (NSA) of the water extracts at 1,000 ppm of the water extracts ranged from 30 to 49%, and those of the ethanol extracts ranged from 42 to 54% at pH 1.2, respectively. The NSAs of the extracts were highest at pH 1.2, and then decreased with increasing pH. The highest levels of antibacterial and antioxidant activity occurred with the water and ethanol extracts of Paeonia lactiflora, which had the highest polyphenol content among the Samultang ingredients. Over all, the ethanol extracts of the Samultang ingredients had higher activities than the water extracts. Considering the combined results, one can conclude that Samultang ingredient extracts would be useful as natural preservatives in the development of health foods.

당귀, 복분자, 마황의 추출공정 요인별 [추출온도 $(40^{\circ}C,\;60^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C)$, 초음파 병행 (처리조건 : 초음파별) 추출]에 따른 추출물들의 분획물들의 추출수율 증진 및 생산성 향상이 가능한 공정 개발을 위하적 공정 요인에 따라 추출과 분획을 실시하였다. 그 중 모든 분획 추출물 들 중에서 $60^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 40kHz의 초음파 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층 수율이 59.63%로 다른 추출 공정에 비하여 가장 높게 나타났으며, 당귀 water 분획층의 수율은 50.17%로 나타나 water 분획층의 수율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform 분획층의 순서로 수율이 나타난 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이것으로 $60^{\circ}C$의 40 kHz 초음파 병행 추출 공정이 생산성이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 면역활성 증진 효과에서 인간의 면역세포인 B, T 세포에 대한 생육 활성도를 각 공정별 추출물을 이용하여 측정한 결과 $60^{\circ}C$의 40 kHz의 초음파 병행 추출물의 water 분획물에서 180% 이상의 높은 생육 활성도를 나타내었고, butanol 분획물에서는 160% 이상의 높은 생육 활성도를 나타내었다. Cytokines 분비량은 면역 세포에 대한 활성 실험에서 효과가 가장 높게 나타났던 추출공정인 $60^{\circ}C$의 40 kHz 초음파 병행 추출물의 water 분획층과 butanol 분획층을 이용하여 분획물 실험을 행하였다. B세포에서의 IL-6 분비량에 복분자 water 분획충이 1.0 g/l에서 5일째 $17{\times}10^{-4}\;ph/cell$로 가장 높은 증진 효과를 나타내었으며, butanol 분획층이 $16.8{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$의 증진효과를 보였고, 마황과 당귀 water 분획층이 각각 $16.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell,\;16.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$의 증진효과를 보였다 B 세포에서의 $TNF-{\alpha}$분비량은 복분자 water 분획층이 1.0 g/l에서 5일째 $18{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$로 가장 증진 효과가 크게 나타났다. 이것은 세포의 생육이 시간에 따라 증가됨으로서 그에 따른 cytokines의 분비량도 시간에 따라 증가하는 것으로 사료된다. 추출공정 요인인 온도와, 초음파를 달리하여 그것의 분획물인 water 분획층과 butanol 분획층에 대한 T 세포에서의 cytokine 분비량을 측정한 결과 온도의 변화를 준 추출공정에서의 IL-6분비량은 $60^{\circ}C$에서 가장 좋은 분비량을 나타낸 것으로 복분자가 $18.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$로 가장 높은 증진 효과를 나타내었다. 마황과 당귀 또한 $60^{\circ}C$로 추출하였을 때, 1.08배, 1.04배 높은 분비량을 나타내었다. 또한 초음파의 주파수의 변화를 주어 추출한 것으로 T세포의 $TNF-{\alpha}$ 분비량을 측정한 결과 40 kHz의 초음파 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층이 1.0 g/l 농도에서 $20.4{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$로 60 kHz로 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층의 $19.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$보다 높은 분비량을 나타내었다. 당귀와 마황에서도 40 kHz의 초음파로 병행 추출한 것이 더 높은 분비량을 나타내었다. NK-cell의 활성도를 공정 요인별로 측정한 결과 가장 좋은 활성도를 나타낸 것으로는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 40 kHz의 초음파로 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층 이 배양 6일째 날 1.0 g/l의 농도에서 97%, butanol 분획층은 93%의 활성증진을 보여 초음파 병행 추출하지 많은 것과 다른 온도 조건에 비해 높은 생육 활성도를 나타내었다. 그리고 당귀 분획물 또한 $60^{\circ}C$, 40 kHz의 초음파 추출물의 water 분획층과 butanol 분획층에서 각 92%와 80%의 활성 증진을 나타내 다른 추출 공정보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이것으로 알 수 있듯이 생체 방어 기능을 증진 시킬 수 있는 최적의 추출공정으로는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 40 kHz의 초음파를 병행하여 추출하는 것으로 사료된다. 세포 분화활성도의 측정 결과는 복분자 water분획층이 가장 높은 세포 분화 활성도를 나타내었고, 또한 복분자와 마황의 분획물이 crude 상태의 초음파 병행 추출물에 비해 최고 20% 이상의 분화 활성도를 나타내는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

For standardization of LMK02 quality, Ginsenoside Rg3 of Red Ginseng and Decursin of Angelica gigas Nakai in the constituents of LMK02 were estimated as indicative components. From LMK02 water extract, has been used in vitro test for its beneficial effects on neuronal survival and neuroprotective functions, particularly in connection with APP-related dementias and Alzheimer's disease (AD). $A{\beta}$ oligomer derived from proteolytic processing of the ${\beta}$-amyloid precursor protein (APP), including the amyloid-${\beta}$ peptide ($A{\beta}$), play a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's dementia. We determined that oligomer amyloid-${\beta}$ ($A{\beta}$) have a profound attenuation in the increase in rat hippocampus H19-7 cells from. Experimental evidence indicates that LMK02 protects against neuronal damage from cells, but its cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Using a hippocampus cell line on $A{\beta}$ oligomer-induced neuronal cytotoxicity, we demonstrated that LMK02 inhibits formation of $A{\beta}$ oligomer, which are the behavior, and possibly causative, feature of AD. In the Red Ginseng, the average amounts of Ginsenoside Rg3 were $47.04{\mu}g/g$ and $42.3{\mu}g/g$, 90 % of its weight were set as a standard value. And, in the Angelica gigas Nakai, the average amounts of Decursin were 2.71 mg/g and 2.44mg/g, 90 % of its weight were also set as a standard value. The attenuated $A{\beta}$ oligomer in the presence of LMK02 was observed in the conditioned medium of this $A{\beta}$ oligomer-induced cells under in vitro. In the cells, LMK02 significantly activated antiapoptosis and decreased the production of ROS. These results suggest that neuronal damage in AD might be due to two factors: a direct $A{\beta}$ oligomer toxicity and multiple cellular and molecular neuroprotective mechanisms, including attenuation of apoptosis and direct inhibition of $A{\beta}$ oligomer, underlie the neuroprotective effects of LMK02 treatment.

According to the statistical data, stroke is about 13.9% of leading causes of death. Some herbal medicines including Paeonia lactiflora, Angelica gigas nakai and Prunus persica, etc., had been reported to be effective in preventing stroke and mBHT (Modified BoyangHwanoTang) was an advanced prescription used in Korean clinics. Orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) is useful for patients suffering from dysphagia, motion sickness, repeated emesis and mental disorders. Further, drugs exhibiting satisfactory absorption through the mucosa intended for immediate pharmacological action could be advantageously formulated in ODT. The aim of this study was to develop the most efficient ODT formulation of mBHT. Corresponding herbal medicines comprising mBHT were extracted with water for 3 hr at 95~$100{^{\circ}C}$ and then dried. mBHT extract was obtained with about 30% of yield. Subsequently, some pharmaceutical excipients such as spray-dried lactose, crospovidone, glyceryl behenate and/or cogrinded-treated arabia gum were used to achieve an immediate disintegration of mBHT ODT in oral cavity. The requirements of ODT with mechanical strength sufficient to stand the rigors of handling and capability of disintegrating within a few seconds in contact with saliva are indispensable. mBHT ODT prepared by the wet granulation method showed a disintegration time of below 30 sec.
