Don on endothelial adhesion molecule expression has not been reported. Methods : To examine the effect of Catalpa ovata G. Don on the expression of adhesion molecules in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), we used various methods such as Western blot analysis, reverse tranascription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and luciferase activity assay. Results : 1. The extract of Catalpa ovata G. Don inhibited the expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in HUVECs stimulated with TNF-${\alpha}$. 2. The extract of Catalpa ovata G. Don reduced TNF-${\alpha}$-induced adhesion of leukocytes to HUVECs. 3. In addition, The extract of Catalpa ovata G. Don inhibited the promoter activities of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.

Recently there has been a growing interest in the use of natural dyes in textile applications. Natural dyes can exhibit better biodegradability and generally have a higher compatibility with the environment. In this study, the colorants of Catalpa ovata bark were extracted with water and analyzed by spectrophotometry for their main colorant species. Cotton, silk and wool fabrics have been dyed with aqueous extract of Catalpa ovata bark and their dyeabilities on the fibers were studied. Additionally the fastness to washing, drycleaning and light, and the effects on bacteriostatic rate and UV-B protection rate were also investigated. The major colorant of the extract of Catalpa ovata bark was shown to be 6-O-trans-caffeoyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside. Cotton, silk and wool fabrics dyed with the extract of Catnip ovata bark were colored in yellowish red tint. The optimum dyeing condition of the colorants extracted from Catalp ovata bark was three repeated dyeing at $95^\circ{C}$ for 1 hr using post mordanting. For dyed silk and wool fabric, the fastness to washing were improved by mordanting, and the fastness to drycleaning were very outstanding. In case of wool fabric dyed with the extract of Catalpa ovata bark, the bacteriostatic rate was increased drastically by 98.0%, and UV-B protection rate was increased by 97.3%.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of Catalpa Ovata on the collagen-induced arthritis in the lewis rats. and we infere the effects of Catalpa Ovata on the rheumatoid arthritis in the human body. Methods : We investigated the effect of Catalpa Ovata on the Collagen-induced arthritis in Lewis rats via morphology, histology and serology as an experimental group, a control group, and a normal group. We feed Catalpa Ovata. only to an experimental group. Results : According to this research, the abnormal finding In Moire topography was 53.7% (1,018 students), and students needed X-ray re-examination were 11.2% (213 students). Students diagnosed scoliosis by X-ray re-examination were 1.8%. According to statistical analysis, interval between vertical base line of pelvis and vertical base line of neck, gap between left distance and right distance to the vertical base line of pelvis and difference of contour lines have strong correlations with deformity degree of the body surface examined by Moire. Conclusions : 1. The weight of an experimental group were lower than control group with statistically significant at 15 days later. 2, The paw edema volume of an experimental group were lower than control group at 10 days, 15 days later. but couldn't be found meaning. 3. The size of the tarsal joint of an experimental group were lower than control group at 5 days, 10 days, 15 days later, but couldn't be found meaning. 4. The volume of tumor necrosis factor-a at an experimental group were lower than control group with statistically significant. 5. The volume of interleukin-$1{\beta}$ at an experimental group were lower than control group with statistically significant. 6. An experimental group and a control group were showed ankylosing osteoarthritis, but an experimental group compared with a control group, alleviated In the fibrous ankylosis, destruction of articular cartilage and destruction of subchondral bony tissue. According to the above results, it might be considered that Catalpa Ovata has the suppression of the advance of the Collagen-induced arthritis and that result were presumed to bo connected with suppression of volume of the tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ and $interleukin-1{\beta}$ in the blood.

개오동나무 (Catalpa ovata G. Don) 잎의 MeOH 추출물은 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 나타냈으며, 이에 개오동나무 잎에 함유된 항산화물질을 구명하고자 하였다. MeOH 추출물을 용매분획하여 EtOAc 가용 중성획분을 얻고, silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography로 정제한 다음 HPLC에 의해 3종의 활성물질을 단리하였다. 단리된 물질들은 HR-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR 등의 기기분석에 의해 piperitol, pinoresinol, lariciresinol로 동정하였다. 이들 물질들을 대상으로 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 조사한 결과, lariciresinol ($SC_{50}$/, 19$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) ＞ pinoresinol ($SC_{50}$/, 31$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL) ＞ piperitol ($SC_{50}$/, 59$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL)의 순으로 항산화활성이 나타났다.

An antimicrobial compound was isolated from the MeOH extract of Catalpa ovata G.$D_{ON}$ fruits, and its structure was Identified as 4,9-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-3,4-Uihydronaphtho[2,3-b]pyran-5,10-dione (HMNP). The antimicrobial activity of the Un was determined by measuring the dose-response inhibiton of microbial growth in liquid cultures and then compared with that of lapachol, a well known antimicrobial 1,4-naphthoquinone. The antimicrobial activity of the HMNP was more effective than that of lapachol over a wide range of test organisms. Gram-positive bacteria, yeast, and fungi ($IC_{50}$ $20-75\muM$) were found to be more sensitive to the HMNP than Cram-negative bacteria ($IC_{50}$ > $100\muM$). The HMNP also inhibited germination of spores of many fungi. The morphological defurmation of the fungal spores was induced by the treatment of HMNP, as illustrated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Objectives : The use of natural products with therapeutic properties is as ancient as human civilisation and, for a long time, mineral, plant and animal products were the main sources of drugs. Catalposide, the major iridoid glycoside isolated from the stem bark of Catalpa ovata G. Don (Bignoniceae) has been shown to possess anti-microbial and anti-tumoral properties. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a stress response protein and is known to play a protective role against the oxidative injury. In this study, we examined whether catalposide could protect Neuro 2A cells, a kind of neuronal cell lines, from oxidative damage through the induction of HO-1 protein expression and HO activity. We also examined the effects of catalposide on the productions of tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}\;(TNF-{\alpha})$ and nitric oxide (NO) on RAW 264.7 macrophages activated with the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide. Methods : HO-1 expression in Neuro 2A cells was measured by Western blotting analysis. NO and $TNF--{\alpha}$ produced by RAW 264.7 macrophage were measured by Griess reagent and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Results : The treatment of the cells with catalposide resulted in dose- and time-dependent up-regulations of both HO-1 protein expression and HO activity. Catalposide protected the cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death. The protective effect of catalposide on hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death was abrogated by zinc protoporphyrin IX, a HO inhibitor. Additional experiments revealed the involvement of CO in the cytoprotective effect of catalposide-induced HO-1. In addition, catalposide inhibited the productions of $TNF--{\alpha}$ and NO with significant decreases in mRNA levels of $TNF--{\alpha}$ and inducible NO synthase. Conclusions : Our results indicate that catalposide is a potent inducer of HO-1 and HO-1 induction is responsible for the catalposide-mediated cytoprotection against oxidative damage and that catalposide may have therapeutic potential in the control of inflammatory disorders.

식물추출물(20과 35종)을 사용하여 미량국소처리방법과 분무방법으로 벼멸구 암컷성충에 대한 살충활성과 기피효과에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 살충활성과 기피효과의 결과는 식물종과 그 부위에 따라 다양한 차이를 보였다. 인면과수, 구리광, 미국자리공의 줄기 추출물, 그리고 취춘과 석류나무의 잎+줄기 추출물이 벼멸구에 대하여 높은 살충활성을 보였다. 식물추출물들의 기피효과는 남학슬의 전부위 추출물, 캐슈나무의 열매추출물, 석류나무와 등나무의 잎+줄기 추출물이 높은 기피활성을 보였다. 이 실험에 사용한 식물추출물들에서 기피효과가 높은 식물추출물들의 살충활성이 불규칙적으로 나타나 기피효과와 살충률의 관계가 성립되지 않았다. 따라서 처리된 식물추출물의 벼멸구에 대한 살충활성과 기피 효과는 상관관계가 없음을 알 수 있다.
