식품에 항 산화제로 첨가시키는 BHT와 BHA의 독성에 대해 고찰하였다. BHT와 BHA는 실험동물에서 간, 폐, 신장, 순환계, 생식계, 등에 여러 영향을 주며 이러한 영향은 동물의 종류와 성에 따라 상당한 차이를 나타내고 있다. 대부분 실험에 사용된 BHT와 BHA의 양이 인체가 매일 식품으로부터 흡수할 수 있는 양보다는 훨씬 많은 양을 사용하였기 때문에 동물실험의 결과로 인체에 유독성을 직접 판단하기는 어렵고 이들의 안전성에 대해서는 보다 체계적인 연구가 앞으로 요구된다. 미량의 BHT와 BHA를 장기간 복용하였을 때 생기는 부작용에 대한 연구가 필요하며 또한 이들 항 산화제는 약물대사에 관여하는 효소의 합성내지 활성도를 증가시키는 것으로 알려져 있기 때문에 체내에서 다른 약물의 대사 및 독성에 어떤 상호 작용을 가져오는 지에 대한 면밀한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 더불어 본 논문은 현시점에서 이들 항산화제의 식품에 첨가여부를 논쟁하고자 하는 의도가 전혀 없음을 명백히 하는 바이다.

Objectives : Each 2 types of Bangkeehwangkeetang(BHT) and Bangkeebok-ryeongtang(BBT) was prescribed to examined the therapeutic effects on hyperlipidemia. BHT-1 and BBT-1 were composed of Bunbangkee(粉防己, Stephaniae Radix) for Bangkee with other drugs, but BHT-2 and BBT-2 were composed of Cheongpungdeung(淸風藤, Sinomenii acuti Lignum). Methods : Four decoctions prepared from the prescriptions were respectively administrated to animal models in rats such as hyperlipidemic model induced by high cholesterol diet. Results : On the hyperlipidemic model, BHT-2 and BBT-2 would decrease the levels of total cholesterol(Tc) and triglyceride(TG) in blood, on the other hand, BHT-1 and BBT-1, despite little change of Tc, decrease TG but also HDL-cholesterol(HDLc). Conclusion : BBT, especially composed of Cheongpungdeung(Sinomenii acuti Lignum) for Bangkee, could be used more effectively than the others(Stephaniae Radix) on hyperlipidemia.

The effect of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and its major metabolite, 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (BHT-acid) on the uptake of taurocholate into hepatocytes was studied using the primary culture of rat hepatocytes. Hepatocyte were isolated by an in situ collagenase perfusion technique and maintained as a monolayer in serum-free meadia for 24 hours before use. The uptake of taurocholate was saturable with an apparent Km of 12.8+2.8 MuM and Vmax of 0.18+0.01 nmol/mg/min. Both BHT and BHT-acid inhibited the hepatocellular uptake of taurocholate when they were added to the culture.

In an attempt to compare the antioxidation effects of constrain the oxidation and improve the structural stability, retinol and various antioxidants were together encapsulated by liposome. Four water soluble and four oil soluble antioxidants were tested for performance. The influence of tertiary butylhydroquinone(TBHQ), ${\alpha}$-glycosyl rutin(${\alpha}$-G rutin), licorece, pycnogenol as water soluble antioxidants and butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT), ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid, ferulic acid, natural concentrated tooopherol(no-tocopherol) as oil soluble antioxidants on the constraint of oxidation of retinol were investigated. Additional study was conducted to compare the synergic effect of antioxidation for retinol with licorice, pycnogenol, ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid and BHT. All the antioxidant used at the study constrained oxidation of retinol. The effect of antioxidation for retinol increased in order of licorice, pycnogenol, TBHQ, ${\alpha}$-G rutin as water soluble antioxidants and ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid, BHT, no-tocopherol, ferulic acid as oil soluble antioxidants. In conclusion, ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid is more effective retinol antioxidants than BHT. And the combination of ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid and BHT gave best synergic among six combinations.

The present study was designed to determine long-term feeding effects of vitamin E and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) on serum biochemical profiles, organ weight, and intestinal and hepatic antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in ICR mice. Four wk old ICR mice (n=8 per group) were fed the diets supplemented with vitamin E (I ; 0.03% and II ; 0.3%) and BHT (I ; 0.05% and II ; 0.5%) for 12 months. Feeding the diets containing vitamin E and BHT had no effects on growth and serum biochemical profiles. However, feeding the diets supplemented with 0.5% BHT for 12 months significantly increased liver weight of the mice. In the small intestine, there were no effects of vitamin E or BHT on SOD and GSH-PX activities in the mucosa. However, the activity of intestinal GST of the mice that received 0.5% BHT was almost twice as high as that of control mice. In the liver, the activity of SOD was not affected by feeding antioxidants for 12 months, whereas GSH-PX activity was significantly increased in mice that received the diets containing BHT (0.05%, 0.5%) and vitamin E (0.03%, 0.3%). In addition, supplementation of 0.5% BHT markedly enhanced hepatic GST activity compared with other groups. Enhanced activity of GSH-PX in response to feeding vitamin E or BHT might aid hepatic enzymes to eliminate active oxygen in organs from mice. However, we could not exclude the possibility of increased lipid peroxidation by high dosage of BHT supplementation. More detailed study is necessary for assessment of preventive or toxicological effects of high dosage of BHT supplementation.

Consumers are interested in natural ingredient that replace synthetic antioxidants in meat products. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of astaxanthin (AX) on the oxidative stability and quality characteristics of emulsified sausages during cold storage. Emulsified sausages were prepared as follows: manufactured without AX and BHT (Control), added with 500 mg/kg of BHT (BHT), and added with 80 mg/kg of AX (AX). Addition of AX showed no significant difference in pH, emulsion stability and cooking yield of emulsified sausages (p>0.05). However, the initial color retentivity was the same as that of synthetic antioxidant such as BHT treatment, and the redness was higher when AX treatment was added (p<0.05). The lipid oxidation showed the lowest value in the BHT treatment at the end of storage and the AX treatment also was significant lower than that of control (p<0.05). Hardness was lower in the all treatments at the end of storage than in the control (p<0.05). Therefore, astaxanthin can be used as a color enhancing agent for meat products as well as an natural antioxidant in replacing of BHT which is as synthetic antioxidant.

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.

Thrombin-induced platelet microbicidal protein (tPMP) is a small cationic peptide that exerts potent in vitro microbicidal activity against a broad spectrum of human pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus rattus BHT. Earlier evidence has suggested that tPMP targets and disrupts the bacterial membrane. However, it is not yet clear whether membrane disruption itself is sufficient to kill the bacteria or whether subsequent, presumably intracellular, events are also involved in this process. In this study, we investigated the microbicidal activity of rabbit tPMP toward S. rattus BHT cells in the presence or absence of a pretreatment with antibiotics that differ in their mechanisms of action. The streptocidal effects of tPMP on control cells (no antibiotic pretreatment) were rapid and concentration-dependent. Pretreatment of S. rattus BHT cells with either penicillin or amoxicillin (inhibitors of bacterial cell wall synthesis) significantly enhanced the anti-S. rattus BHT effects of tPMP compared with the effects against the respective control cells over most tPMP concentration ranges tested. On the other hand, pretreatment of S. rattus BHT cells with tetracycline or doxycycline (30S ribosomal subunit inhibitors) significantly decreased the streptocidal effects of tPMP over a wide peptide concentration range. Furthermore, pretreatment with rifampin (an inhibitor of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase) essentially blocked the killing of S. rattus BHT by tPMP at most concentrations compared with the respective control cells. These results suggest that tPMP exerts anti-S. rattus BHT activity through mechanisms involving both the cell membrane and intracellular targets.

Bujeonghangam-tang(BHT) has been used as an anticancer agent in oriental medicine, but the mechanism by which it induces cell death in cancer cells is still unclear. To investigate cell death mechanism by BHT in cancer cells, the activities of apoptosis signaling pathway were tested in human neuroblastoma cell line LAN5. Viability of LAN5 cells was markedly decreased by treatment of the water extract of BHT in a dose-dependent manner. BHT induced cell death was confirmed as apoptosis characterized by chromatin condensation. We tested whether the water extract of BHT affects the anti-apoptotic protein such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, and the pro-apoptotic protein such as Bax. Both Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL were gradually decreased but Bas was increased in a time-dependent manner after the addition of the water extract of BHT. Cleavage of Bid by activation of caspase-8 protease was also observed in LAN-5 cells by the treatment of the water extract of BHT. Taken together, these results suggest that the water extract of BHT exerts anti-cancer effects on human neuroblastoma LAN-5 cells by inducing the apoptotic death via down-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, up-regulation of pro-apoptotic protein such as Bax, and activation of intrinsic caspase cascades.
