In order to discover novel potent antitumor agents, methanolic extracts of approximately 180 herbal medicines were prepared and primarily evaluated for cytotoxic activity in cultured human lung (A549) and colon (Col 2) cancer cells. As a result, 17 natural product extracts were found to be active in the criteria of $IC_{50}$<$20\;{\mu}g/ml$. Especially, the extracts of Aristolochia debilis, Cynanchum ascyrifolium, Cynanchum paniculatum, Daphne genkwa, Euphorbia lathyris, Ipomoea hederacea, Magnolia officinalis, Melia azedarach var. japonica, Solanum nigrum, Thuja orientalis, and Trichosanthes kirilowii showed a strong cytotoxic potential. The flower extract of Daphne genkwa was more selective cytotoxic activity against lung cancer cells $(IC_{50};\;0.2\;{\mu}g/ml)$ compared to colon cancer cells $(IC_{50}>20\;{\mu}g/ml)$. In addition, based on the cytotoxic potential of the root extract of Cynanchum paniculatum, the further fractionation of methylene chloride partition with silica gel column chromatography was performed. Several subfractions were considered to be active, and thus indicating that further studies for the identification of active principles from these fractions might be warranted.

본 연구에서는 산해박(Cynanchum paniculatum)을 이용하여 에틸아세테이트로 분획물을 제조하고, 지표물질 페오놀(paeonol)의 구조와 함량을 확인하였다. 산해박은 n-hexane, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, distilled water를 사용해서 순차적 용매 분획을 시행하여 분획물을 획득하였고, 에틸아세테이트(EtOAc)에서 가장 높은 paeonol 함량을 보였다. 산해박 에틸아세테이트 분획물(EA)의 구조는 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)을 통해서 확인하였고, 함량은 high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 산해박 에틸아세테이트 분획물(EA)의 항산화 활성 효과를 검증하기 위해 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) 소거능을 통해서 확인하였으며, 염증 완화 효과를 검증하기 위해 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 염증반응을 유도시킨 RAW 264.7 세포에서 nitric oxide (NO) 생성 억제능을 확인한 결과, 농도 의존적으로 NO 생성을 저해함을 확인하였다. 추가적으로, ultraviolet B (UVB)에 의해 유도된 MMP-1 생성량은 산해박 에틸아세테이트 분획물(EA)의 농도 의존적으로 감소하였고, 프로콜라겐(procollagen type-I) 생성 능력은 농도 의존적으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 산해박 에틸아세테이트 분획물(EA)을 함유한 화장품 제형을 이용하여 임상시험을 실시한 결과, 눈가 주름 개선 효과를 확인하였다. 이를 통하여 산해박은 항산화 및 항노화 효과를 가지는 천연 기능성 화장품 소재로 사용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Homosyringaldehyde was isolated and identified from the 80% methanol extract of roots of Cynanchum paniculatum. C. paniculatum has been widely used for the treatment of various diseases such as neurasthenia, insomnia, dysmenorrheal and toothache. This compound exerted significant neuroprotective activities against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in hippocampal HT22 cell line by 37.53% (at the concentration of $100{\mu}M$). We investigated mode of action of this compound. Homosyringaldehyde ($100{\mu}M$) significantly decreased the ROS level and $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the oxidative stress induced HT22 cells by oxidative glutamate toxicity. Thus, our results suggest that homosyringaldehyde significantly protect HT22 cells against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, via antioxidative activities. As the results, we suggest that homosyringaldehyde may be useful in the treatment of neurogenerative disorders.

Serpentines soil have high values of magnesium and low values of calcium, and are usually deficient in N and P, but rich in iron, Ni, silicates. We investigated serpentine soil properties and measured the content of nutrient elements and heavy metals in shoots and root of plant species which were in common at serpentine and non-serpentine areas in Andong, Korea. The soils showed higher pH value above 6.9. The contents of Ni, Cr, Fe and Mg of serpentine soils exhibited 77, 27, 5.5 and 12.5 times more than in non-serpentine soils, respectively. The content of Na was almost same but K was two times higher in non-serpentine soil, compared with serpentine soil. The contents of nutrient element such as K, Ca, Na and P in serpentine plants did not show conspicuous differences with non-serpentine plants. On the other hand, the concentrations of Ni, Cr, Fe, Mg and Mg/Ca were very high in plant on serpentine area. The all plant species collected at the serpentine site were bodenvag plants, which are not restricted to a specific type of substrate. By the plant species and parts of plant tissues, the absorption levels and patterns showed high variation and were species-specific. Carex lanceolata, Lysimachia clethroides and Cynanchum paniculatum contained much chromium and Eupatorium chinense and C. paniculatum exhibited high contents of Ni. In leaf tissue, C. lanceolata, Rubus parvifolius, Festuca ovina, Quercus serrata, and L. clethroides took comparatively large amount of Cr in serpentine area. E. chinense contained large amount of Ni, Cr and Fe in a leaf tissue. The stem of Galium verum, Juniperus rigida included high amount of Cr, Ni and Fe. And C. paniculatum absorbed large amount of Ni and Cr in the stem.

Eleven out of 118 herbal medicines which are frequently used in Korean traditional prescriptions for inflammatory diseases exhibited more than 50% of inhibition on $TNF-{\alpha}$ production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells by their total ethanol extracts with 0.1 mg/ml as a final concentration. The active 11 total extracts were prepared from Angelica koreana, Coptis japonica, Cynanchum paniculatum, Magnolia frgesii, Magnolia officinalis, Panax ginseng, Patrinia scabiosaefolia, Pterocarpus santalius, Rhapontica uniflora, Saussurea lappa. Of them, Coptis japonica, Magnolia fargesii and Saussurea lappa also significantly inhibited $TNF-{\alpha}$ production in vivo. These total extracts were sequentially fractionated with n-hexane, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water. Among the solvent-fractionated extracts with 0.05 mg/ml as a final concentration, inhibitory effects of Angelica koreana, Magnolia fargesii, Magnolia officinalis, Pterocarpus santalinus, Rhapontica uniflora and Saussurea lappa markedly showed in one or two solvent fractions suggesting that the principles may be concentrated by subfractionation as the main compounds.
