Background: Rehmannia glutinosa is a perennial herb belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae and is used in traditional oriental medicine. This study was conducted to evaluate the appropriateness of plug-seedling cultivation for replanting of R. glutinosa. Methods and Results: The seed rhizomes of Rehmannia glutinosa 'Jihwang 1' were harvested in the middle of March, 2018. Direct seedling cultivation was conducted after air curing for 3 days. The seedlings for transplanting were cultivated for 30 (30D), 45 (45D), and 60 days (60D). The mat formation rates of the 30D, 45D and 60D treatment seedling were 81.3%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Of the tree treatment groups, flowering occurred only in the 45D and 60D treatment groups, and their flowering rates were $7.3{\pm}3.06%$ and $13.3{\pm}1.15%$, respectively. The agronomic characteristics and active components of the three treatment groups were evaluated in comparison with the DS1 (directly seeded group, control) and DS2 (directly seeded group, replanting) groups. As a result, the leaf length and leaf width of the 30D seedlings were higher than other treatment groups, but the number of leaves per plant was statistically the same. In addition, root diameter and yield of the 30D seedling were statistically the same as DS1. Moreover the catalpol contents of 30D, 45D, DS1 and DS2 group seedlings were 2.23%, 1.86%, 2.50% and 2.08%, respectively. Conclusions: Taken together, these findings suggest it is feasible to use the plug-seedling cultivation method for replanting of R. glutinosa. seedlings. However, further evaluation of the economic aspect is needed.

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to identify bioactive compounds in Dangnyo-hwan, a Korean herbal medicine, through instrumental analysis using LC-MS/MS and ICP, and investigate its potential use in diabetes treatment. Methods: The extract of Dangnyo-hwan has 12 medicinal herbs; these were compared with 18 marker substances selected from literature survey. Results: LC-MS/MS analysis could detect 9 of the 18 bioactive compounds: citruline, catalpol, berberine, ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rg1, oleanolic acid, β-sitosterol, mangiferin, and schizandrin. While harmful heavy metals such as As, Pb, Cd, Hg, Ni, and Cu were not present in high concentrations, Zn concentration was 4.2 mg in 100 g Dangnyo-hwan. Conclusions: Instrumental analysis such as LC-MS/MS and ICP was successfully used to identify bioactive compounds in Dangnyo-hwan. Detection of 9 bioactive substances and Zn from the herb medicine is a valuable finding, and suggests that Dangnyo-hwan is a candidate medicine for diabetes. Further investigations like in vitro assay, percent GPR 119 activity, and percent human DGAT-1 inhibition are underway.

To investigate a possible biological activity of iridoid glucosides, six compounds, aucubin, catalpol, gardenoside, geniposide, rehmannioside and swertiamarin, were studied in relation with their potential influences in RNA and protein biosyntheses in murine tumor cell, sarcoma 180, in vitro. Protein biosynthesis was slightly inhibited by aucubin, gardenoside and swertiamarin. Degree of inhibition of RNA biosynthesis by those iridoid appeared to be more sensitive than that of protein biosynthesis. When aucubin was pretreated with ${\beta}-glucosidase$ to produce its genin form and the sarcoma 180 cells were exposed to this aucubigenin, the protein and RNA biosyntheses in the cells were profoundly inhibited. The results indicate that a biologically active from of iridoid compounds is the hydrolytic products of glycoside, i.e. genin form. It is also suggested that sarcoma 180 cells used in the experiments appear to lack of ${\beta}-glucosidase$, since the inhibitory actions of iridoid glucosides were so slight that those glucosides were not hydrolysed by the enzyme to their genin forms.

Background: This study was conducted to compare the physicochemical properties of 12 different cultivars of Rehmannia glutinosa, a plant used in Korean traditional herbal medicine. Method and Results: We investigated the following 12 cultivars of R. glutinosa; Jihwang1, Goryeo, Daegyung, Gogang, Togang, Dagang, Wongang, Yeongang, Hwanggang, Dahwang, Segang and Chunggang. We measured water content, chromaticity, hardness, active components levels, and antioxidant activity. Our results showed that Togang has the lowest water content and the highest yield. The catalpol content was the highest in Togang (40.50 mg/g) and the lowest in Chunggang (22.17 mg/g). The aucubin content was the highest in Hwanggang (0.28 mg/g). Chunggang had the lowest aucubin content, but the highest level of verbascoside. Total flavonoid and total polyphenol were the highest in Daegyung and Chunggang, respectively. There was a strong correlation between the total flavonoid and total polyphenol (r = 0.89) content. Conclusions: There were significant differences in physicochemical properties among 12 cultivars. These properties will affect suitability for processing and final product quality. We therefore suggest the selection of appropriate cultivars for different uses.

Objectives : 'Steaming and drying' is a traditional processing method that has been used to produce Suk-ji-hwang (熟地黃; Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) from Ji-hwang (地黃, the fresh root of Rehmannia glutinosa Liboschitz ex Steudel; Rehmanniae Radix). The steaming and drying process, which is proceeded in heating and moisturizing conditions, plays a crucial role in the change of therapeutic effect of Ji-hwang, presumably due to the modification of its chemical constituents. In this article, the chemical influence of the 'Steaming and drying' process was investigated for understanding the underlying mechanism of chemical modification of Ji-hwang. Methods : The articles regarding the modifications of chemical constituents of Ji-hwang during the 'Steaming and drying' process were collected and analyzed to investigate the influence of the processing to Ji-hwang. Results : The results indicated that iridoid glycosides were degraded to their aglycones and sugars, and such degradations occurred faster at a high pressure than at an atmospheric pressure during the process. The contents of catalpol, ajugol, and acteoside were decreased, while those of rehmannioside A and D were slightly increased during the repeated processing. The contents of oligosaccharides, namely sucrose, maltose, raffinose, and stachyose (except for manninotriose), were decreased, while those of monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, were increased by the repeated processing. Conclusions : These results demonstrate that the 'Steaming and drying' process influenced the chemical constituents of Ji-hwang and provide probable basis for the therapeutic modification of Suk-ji-hwang after the processing of Ji-hwang.

본 연구는 지황의 플러그 육묘 재배가 생산량을 증가시킬 수 있는지 평가하고, 강원도 남부지역에 플러그 육묘를 이용한 지황 재배 시 중부지역의 직파재배만큼 생산량을 늘릴 수 있는 지 알아보기 위해 수행하였다. 수량의 경우 음성 육묘재배(1,376 ㎏/10a)가 가장 높았고, 그 다음으로 평창 육묘재배(1,256 ㎏/10a), 음성 직파재배(1,253 ㎏/10a), 평창 직파재배(923 ㎏/10a) 순으로 나타나, 강원도에서 육묘재배 시에 중부지역 직파 재배만큼 생산량을 늘릴 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 지황은 근경 굵기가 8-12 ㎜가 중품(中品), 그 이상이 상품(上品)의 등급으로 팔리는데, 재배실험지역과 재배방법에 상관없이 모두 14 ㎜가 넘어 상품성(商品性)에도 문제가 없었다. 그러므로 생산량과 품질 조건을 고려해 볼 때, 플러그 육묘 재배를 통해 생산량을 늘릴 수 있었으며, 강원도에서 플러그 육묘를 이용한 지황 재배 시 중부지방의 직파재배와 비슷한 생산이 가능할 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 본 연구결과를 적용하기에는 늘어나는 생산비와 증가되는 수익을 고려한 경제성 분석이 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

지황은 국내 주요 약용작물 중 하나로, 크게 생지황, 건지황, 숙지황으로 나누어 용도에 맞게 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 시중에서 많이 이용되고 있는 4가지 육성품종에 대하여 이화학적 특성을 평가하고 숙지황에 가장 적합한 품종을 선발하고자 하였다. 본 실험에서는 지황 1호, 고강, 토강, 다강 총 4품종의 생지황을 이용하여 건조한 후, 막걸리에 담그는 작업부터 증숙 및 건조 작업까지를 1증으로 하여, 총 9회 반복하였다. 1증이 끝날 때마다, 산업적으로 중요한 요인 중 하나인 수율을 포함해 여러 이화학적 특성들을 평가하였다. 수율은 토강이 가장 높았고, 다강이 가장 낮게 나타났는데 이러한 수치들은 수분함량과 높은 부의 상관관계를 보였다. Fructose와 Glucose 함량은 초기에 일시적으로 증가하였다가 일정 시점 이후로는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, Sucrose와 Raffinose, Stachyose는 점차 감소하다가 Raffinose, Stachyose의 경우, 4~5증 이후에는 검출되지 않았다. 유효성분인 Catalpol 함량도 모든 품종에서 4증 이후에는 검출되지 않았다. 반면 5-HMF 함량은 증숙이 진행됨에 따라 증가하였으며, 대한약전 기준인 0.1% 이상을 만족하였다. 지황 1호와 토강의 경우, 5증 이후 0.14%로, 타 품종에 비해 기준치에 빨리 도달하였다. 4가지 육성품종을 이용하여 숙지황을 제조하여 품질 특성을 평가한 결과, 전반적인 특성들을 종합적으로 고려하였을 때, 숙지황용으로는 토강이 상대적으로 수율이 높고 증숙시간도 짧게 소요되어 가장 적합할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구결과는 품종별 특성에 따라 산업적으로 적합한 용도로 활용하는 데에 유용한 정보가 될 것으로 생각된다.
