Plectranthus amboinicus Benth (Lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant native to India, and its leaves are widely used in several traditional medicinal preparations. The purpose of this study was to detect and quantify phenolics present in ethyl acetate and acetone extracts of P. amboinicus leaves, and evaluate their antioxidant, antibacterial, antimutagenic and anticancer activities. The HPLC chromatograms of crude leaf extracts indicated the presence of phenolics like caffeic acid, coumaric acid, rutin, quercetin and gallic acid, which were present in the range of 0.01 - 1.41 mg/g in ethyl acetate and 0.03 - 1.93 mg/g in the acetone extract. The acetone extract showed statistically (p < 0.05) higher antioxidant activity ($IC_{50}$, 99.59 ${\mu}g/ml$) than ethyl acetate extract ($IC_{50}$, 149.96 ${\mu}g/ml$). Statistically (p < 0.05) higher antimutagenicity was shown by acetone extract (46.16%) as compare to ethyl acetate extract (12.16%) at 500 ${\mu}g/plate$ concentration. The acetone extract showed higher antibacterial activity than ethyl acetate extract, and both the extracts showed highest activity against B. cereus (375 and 625 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively) and lowest activity against Y. enterocolitica (1000 and 1125 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively). Both the extracts also showed inhibitory effect on cancer cell lines HCT-15 and MCF-7. These results suggest that the leaves of P. amboinicus possess various biological activities, and validate the traditional use of the leaves of P. amboinicus against cold, infection and ulceration.

등심초(Juncus effusus)를 70% ethanol로 추출하고 이 추출물을 ethyl acetate분획, n-butanol 및 $H_2O$ 분획으로 나누었다. Ethyl acetate 분획에 대하여 silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography를 반복 실시하여 2종의 화합물을 분리하였다. 화합물 1 (dehydroeffusol)과 2 (effusol)에 대하여 free radical 소거활성을 측정한 결과, dehydroeffusol (DPPH; $130{\pm}3.21{\mu}M$, ABTS; $39{\pm}3.51{\mu}M$)과 effusol (DPPH; $79{\pm}1.53{\mu}M$, ABTS; $24{\pm}2.73{\mu}M$)은 강한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 이들 화합물들의 인체유래 위암세포(AGS), 폐암세포(A549)에 대한 성장억제 효과를 측정한 결과 모두 항암약물(CPA)과 유사하거나 더 높은 성장 저해 효과를 보였다.

한국 토양에서 방선균주를 분리하고 화학 분류 및 16S rDNA 염기서열을 통하여 Streptomyces 속 균주임을 알아내고 Streptomyces sp. AO-0511로 명명하였다. 이 균주가 생산하는 herbimycin A 및 dihydroherbimycin A의 몇 가지 이화학적 성질과 생물 활성을 측정하였다. 두 물질은 모두 산성 조건에서 안정성을 나타냈으며, dihydroherbimycin A는 herbimycin A에 비해 상대적으로 높은 열 안정성을 지니며 극성 또한 높은 물질로서 TLC 상의 Rf간이 낮았다. Herbimycin A와 dihydroherbimycin A는 모두 Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 및 Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341에 대하여 약한 저해 활성을 나타내었고, 다른 미생물에 대해서는 저해 활성을 나타내지 앓았다. 항암 활성에 있어서 두 물질은 폐암 세포인 AS49세포와 백혈병 세포인 HL-60세포에 대해서 강력한 중식 저해 활성을 나타내었다. L5178Y및 P388세포를 사용하여 세포 독성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 두 물질은 대조 물질인 camptothecin에 비해서 항암 활성을 가지면서도 비교적 안전한 물질임을 알려 주고 있다.

혈액순환촉진, 심혈관계치료, 피부질환, 암세포억제 등의 의료분야에 원적외선 치료법이 광범위하게 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원적외선 치료에 효과적인 패널형 방사체의 발열부에 대한 열적 특성을 실험적으로 분석하였다. 발열선은 정상상태에서 절연피복에 $150mW/m^2$의 열유속으로 열에너지를 공급하여 절연피복은 발열선 온도의 20%에 도달하였다. 단열막 사용은 약 20%의 발열판 표면온도 증가효과가 있었으며 열시상수를 상승시켜 혈액순환촉진에 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 발열선의 배치간격이 발열부 설계에 중요한 인자이며 열확산의 중첩을 위해 발열판의 열전도계수와 밀도를 고려해야함을 알 수 있었다.

In recent years, propolis has attracted much attention as an useful substance in medicine and functional food, even if it is known as a natural remedy in folk medicine since ancient times. propolis was registered as natural food since 1995 on Korean Food Act by Korean Food and Drug Administration(KFDA). The present study demonstrated the optimization of isolation of crude propolis by ethanol, and tumoricidal effect of pro polis. The optimal concentration of ethanol to separate a high quantity of propolis was $60\%$. The cytotoxic effect of ethanol extracted propolis against various cancer cell lines including murine lymphoma (Sarcoma-180), murine T-lymphoma (YAC-1), human breast carcinoma (MCF-7), human gastric carcinoma (KATOIII) and human hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep3B) and human lung adenocarcinoma (A-549) was observed using SRB and MIT assay. In order to investigate the curative activity by oral administration of propolis on tumor, ICR mice was subcutaneously implanted Sarcoma 180. In 300mg/kg and 600mg/kg propolis administered group, development of implanted tumors was inhibited by $40.9\%\;and\;67.9\%$ at 16th day, respectively. In the same dose of propolis administered group, development of implanted tumors was inhibited more strongly with dose dependent manner. Therefore, these data suggested propolis may show tumoricidal effects. In conclusion, these results indicate that propolis, one of the few natural remedies, can be used as functional food with tumoricidal effects.

한국산 옻나무의 메탄올추출물과 유기용매 분획의 항산화 효과를 조사하였다. 항산화 효과는 수소공여 억제능, 과산화지질 형성 억제능, xanthine oxidase저해 활성과 아질산염 소거능으로 측정한 결과, ethyl acetate 분획이 가장 뛰어난 효과를 나타내었다. 이 분획의 생리활성 물질을 분리하기 위하여, rotatory locular counter current chromatography(RLCCC), Sephadex LH-20 column chromatograpy와 HPLC등의 방법을 사용하여, 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene, methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoat와 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid를 분리하였다. 이중 methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate는 butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA)이나 butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT)보다도 강한 항산화 효과를 나타내었다. 그러나 세포독성 실험에서는 이들 물질들이 암세포주에 대하여 활성이 높지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate은 뛰어난 항산화 효과를 지닌 식품첨가물로서의 이용 가능성을 제시할 수 있다.

Background: Panax ginseng has been used for a variety of medical purposes in eastern countries for more than two thousand years. From the extensive experiences accumulated in its long medication use history and the substantial strong evidence in modern research studies, we know that ginseng has various pharmacological activities, such as antitumor, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and cardiovascular system-protective effects. The active chemical constituents of ginseng, ginsenosides, are rich in structural diversity and exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Methods: Ginsenoside constituents from P. ginseng flower buds were isolated and purified by various chromatographic methods, and their structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the reported data. The 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H- tetrazolium bromide method was used to test their cytotoxic effects on three human cancer cell lines. Results: Six ginsenosides, namely 6'-malonyl formyl ginsenoside F₁ (1), 3β-acetoxyl ginsenoside F₁ (2), ginsenoside Rh₂₄ (6), ginsenoside Rh₂₅ (7), 7β-hydroxyl ginsenoside Rd (8) and ginsenoside Rh₂₆ (10) were isolated and elucidated as new compounds, together with four known compounds (3-5 and 9). In addition, the cytotoxicity of these isolated compounds was shown as half inhibitory concentration values, a tentative structure-activity relationship was also discussed based on the results of our bioassay. Conclusion: The study of chemical constituents was useful for the quality control of P. ginseng flower buds. The study on antitumor activities showed that new Compound 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against HL-60, MGC80-3 and Hep-G2 with half inhibitory concentration values of 16.74, 29.51 and 20.48 μM, respectively.

Actinomycetes isolated from marine habitats represent a promising source of bioactive substances. Here, we report on the isolation, identification, productivity enhancement and application of the bioactive compounds of Streptomyces qinglanensis H4. Eighteen marine actinomycetes were isolated and tested for resistance to seven bacterial diseases. Using 16S rRNA sequencing analysis (GenBank accession number MW563772), the most powerful isolate was identified as S. qinglanensis. Although the strain produced active compound(s) against a number of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, it failed to inhibit pathogenic fungi. The obtained inhibition zones were 22.0 ± 1.5, 20.0 ± 1, 16.0 ± 1, 12.0 ± 1, 22.0 ± 1 and 24.0 ± 1 mm against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 19404, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538, respectively. To maximize bioactive compound synthesis, the Plackett-Burman design was used. The productivity increased up to 0.93-fold, when S. qinglanensis was grown in optimized medium composed of: (g/l) starch 30; KNO₃ 0.5; K₂HPO₄ 0.25; MgSO₄ 0.25; FeSO₄·7H₂O, 0.01; sea water concentration (%) 100; pH 8.0, and an incubation period of 9 days. Moreover, the anticancer activity of S. qinglanensis was tested against two different cell lines: HepG2 and CACO. The inhibition activities were 42.96 and 57.14%, respectively. Our findings suggest that the marine S. qinglanensis strain, which grows well on tailored medium, might be a source of bioactive substances for healthcare companies.
