[ ${\beta}$-Cryptoxanthin ] contents were determined from Citrus unshiu Markovich fruits grown in a greenhouse and open field of Jeju Island, off the southern coast of Korea. In a greenhouse and open field, the ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin content in the peel was greatly increased by harvesting citrus fruits in the late season from August through November. However, ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin content in the flesh was gradually increased and was superior to that of the citrus fruits grown in a greenhouse. ${\beta}$-Cryptoxanthin was efficiently purified from the flesh of citrus fruits harvested in the late harvesting season in November. The ${\beta}$-cryptoxanthin contents in the peel and flesh of citrus fruits harvested from a greenhouse in November were 0.89 mg% and 0.35 mg%, respectively, and in that obtained from an open field were 1.12 mg% and 0.35 mg%, respectively.

감귤은 국내 및 동남아시아 지역에서 많이 즐기는 식품 중 하나이며, 이러한 감귤류의 껍질을 건조시킨 것을 진피라고 한다. 이러한 진피는 한방에서는 이뇨작용, 비장기능을 강화하는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 천연 플라보노이드를 다량 함유하고 있어 학계에서 여러 분야로 연구가 되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 플라보노이드 배당체를 함유한 진피 추출물을 ${\beta}$-glucosidase 효소를 이용하여 아글리콘(aglycone)으로 변환 할 수 있도록 치마버섯 배양을 실시하였다. 진피 발효 배양액을 HPLC를 이용하여 분석하였으며, UVA에 의한 광손상 보호능을 섬유아세포를 이용하여 측정하였다. 진피 발효 배양액은 COX-2, LOX-5와 같은 항염증 관련 대사에도 관여하여 염증완화에도 도움을 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 각질 형성세포를 이용한 interleukin-$1{\alpha}$를 측정한 결과 진피발효배양액 처리군의 저해활성이 더 높았다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 진피발효 배양액은 피부에 대한 항염 및 항산화 효과가 우수한 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is strongly related with central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), hyperglycemia, and hypertension. This study reviewed the potential of Chenpi in treatment of MetS through amelioration of co-related diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hepatic steatosis, and inflammation. Methods: Six electronic databases (Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS), Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal, Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM), Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), PubMed, and Embase) were used to search for in vitro, in vivo, and clinical research that discusses the potential effects of Chenpi (Citrus unshiu Markovich, Citrus reticulata Blanco) on diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hepatic steatosis, and inflammation. Results: This review suggests the potential of Chenpi as a candidate for the treatment of metabolic syndrome through improvement of co-related diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hepatic steatosis, and inflammation. However, comparison of the results of each study was limited by a lack of quantification of the experimental materials.

본 연구에서는 진피 소수성 추출물(CECU)의 U87MG 교모세포종 암줄기세포에 대한 항암 활성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, CECU는 25-200 ㎍/mL의 농도 범위에서 U87MG 교모세포종 암줄기세포의 증식, 종양구체 형성과 이동능력을 유의적으로 저해하였다. 특히, CECU는 G0/G1기에서 세포주기 정지와 세포사멸을 유도하여 교모세포종 암줄기세포의 증식을 억제할 수 있었다. 게다가, 교모세포종 암줄기세포에 대한 CECU의 항암 활성은 CD133, Oct4, Nanog, Integrin α6, ALDH1A1과 같은 줄기세포능 조절인자들의 발현과 STAT3 신호전달경로를 저해함으로써 유도된 것임을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, CAM assay를 통해 CECU가 U87MG 교모세포종 암줄기세포의 in vivo 종양 형성을 효과적으로 억제함을 입증하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 진피 소수성 추출물이 주요 stemness marker들의 발현과 핵심 stemness 조절 신호전달경로를 억제함으로써 U87MG 교모세포종 암줄기세포에 대한 항암 활성을 나타냄을 입증하여, 교모세포종의 예방 및 치료를 위한 천연물 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 새롭게 제시하였다.

Objectives: Excessive melanin production leads to skin pigmentation, which causes various cosmetic and health problems. Citrus unshiu Markovich peel (CS) and Cimicifuga dahurica (CD) have long been widely used as a oriental medicinal plant because of their pharmacological properties including anti-ulcer, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Methods: In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of CS, CD extracts or CS:CD=1:2 mixture on melanogenesis according to the various extraction methods. CS and CD extracted were prepared by ethanol extraction (EE), ultrasonification extraction (USE), Supercritical extraction (SCE), reflux extraction (RE), respectively. Results: DPPH radical scavenging and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of CD extracts or CS:CD=1:2 mixture were increased in dose-dependent manners. In addition, we evaluated the effect of CS, CD extracts or CS:CD=1:2 mixture on tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in α-melanocyte stimulating hormone-induced B16-F10 melanoma cells. CS, CD extracts or CS:CD=1:2 mixture significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis at 10-200 ㎍/mL. Conclusions: Therefore, our study suggests that CS and CD extracts have potential as a safe treatment for excessive pigmentation or as a natural ingredient in cosmetics.

Now many sustitution and false articles is used in korea instead of chenpi. To use chenpi correctly, we will make a quilitative certificational plan of chenpi to investigate all of lieraturea, records and documents. And we could reach conclusions as folloews. 1) Source In china source of Chen-pi is pericarp of citrus reticula Blanco(Family;rutaceae)and in korea source of Chen-pi is pericarp of citrus unshiu Markovich(Family;rutaceae). Though source of both countries are not same, it has no problems because of containing family plants and culture variants. 2) Harvesting and processing After the peel attained full growth, wash cleanly in water. And dry in shade or in low temporature at state of eliminating pericarp. 3) Quality (1) Functional standards Exocarp is soft and clear yellow with numerous oil sports. The less white mesocarp is the better. (2) Physicochemical standards We need to suggest new standards about hesperidin to various conditions by processing methods and storing time. The loss on drying is less than 13.5%. Ash content is less than 4.0%. A standard capacity of hesperidin is more than 4.0%. The content of heavy metal is less than 30 ppm. We can not detect reminding agricultural medicines.

Objective : Citri Unshius Pericarpium is the dried peel of mature fruit of Citrus unshiu Markovich and has been used to treat indigestion, vomiting, and removal of phlegm. This study investigated the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effect of CEE (Ethanol extract of Citri Unshius Pericarpium) in cadmium (CdCl₂)-treated HepG2 cells. Methods : Component analysis of Citri Unshius Pericarpium was analyzed by UPLC with C₁₈ column. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. The enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) were analyzed using commercially available kits. Results : Cadmium caused severe HepG2 cell death. Cadmium also increased ROS production, consistent with depletion of GSH and inhibition of the SOD enzyme. However, CEE treatment reduced cell death and relieved oxidative stress caused by cadmium toxicity. CEE lowered ROS levels and improved depletion of GSH levels. CEE also enhanced the enzymatic activity of SOD. In component analysis, hesperidin was the most abundant of the five marker compounds (Narigenin, Narigin, Narirutin, Hesperidin and Hesperidin), which assumes that hesperidin partially contributed to the antioxidant activity of CEE. Conclusion : These results suggested that CEE could be a potential substance to solve heavy metal-related health problems. In particular, inhibition of oxidative stress by CEE can be a way to treat liver damage caused by cadmium.
