Background: Cynara scolymus has bioactive constituents and has been used for therapeutic actions. The present study was undertaken to investigate the mechanisms underlying pain-relieving effects of the hydroethanolic extract of C. scolymus (HECS). Methods: The antinociceptive activity of HECS was assessed through formalin and acetic acid-induced writhing tests at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg intraperitoneally. Additionally, naloxone (non-selective opioid receptors antagonist, 2 mg/kg), atropine (non-selective muscarinic receptors antagonist, 1 mg/kg), chlorpheniramine (histamine H₁-receptor antagonist, 20 mg/kg), cimetidine (histamine H₂-receptor antagonist, 12.5 mg/kg), flumazenil (GABA_A/BDZ receptor antagonist, 5 mg/kg) and cyproheptadine (serotonin receptor antagonist, 4 mg/kg) were used to determine the systems implicated in HECS-induced analgesia. Impact of HECS on locomotor activity was executed by open-field test. Determination of total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) was done. Evaluation of antioxidant activity was conducted employing 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay. Results: HECS (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) significantly indicated dose dependent antinociceptive activity against pain-related behavior induced by formalin and acetic acid (P < 0.001). Pretreatment with naloxone, atropine and flumazenil significantly reversed HECS-induced analgesia. Antinociceptive effect of HECS remained unaffected by chlorpheniramine, cimetidine and cyproheptadine. Locomotor activity was not affected by HECS. TPC and TFC of HECS were 59.49 ± 5.57 mgGAE/g dry extract and 93.39 ± 17.16 mgRE/g dry extract, respectively. DPPH free radical scavenging activity (IC₅₀) of HECS was 161.32 ± 0.03 ㎍/mL. Conclusions: HECS possesses antinociceptive activity which is mediated via opioidergic, cholinergic and GABAergic pathways.

Antioxidant is an important role to protect the human body against damage by reactive oxygen species. However, the excessive intake of such antioxidant is known to cause a serious poisonous influence on one's liver, lungs and circulating system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a safe natural antioxidant. For the purpose of developing natural antioxidant and antibacterial, the antioxidant activity and antibacterial effects of various extract solvents from Artichoke (Cynara Scolymus L.) leaf were determined. In this study, the extracts of Artichoke leaf dried from solvent extraction were examined by means of DPPH free radical scavenging activity and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. The effect of free radical scavenging compared with $\alpha$-tocopherol and L-ascorbic acid. In Artichoke leaf extract, evaluated by using DPPH and ABTS showed that the highest antioxidant activities were found to be in methanol extracts from DPPH radical ($IC_{50}$: $20.06{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$), ABTS radical ($IC_{50}$: $16.01{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$) and followed by ethanol > methyl chloride > ethyl acetate > n-Hexane. By using disc diffusion method, the antibacterial activity showed that the Artichoke leaf extract was found to be most effective against all of the tested organisms and the methyl chloride extract showed the most significant antibacterial effect against all of tests among 5 solvents extract, followed by ethyl acetate > n-Hexane > ethanol > methanol. As a result, optimal in antioxidant activity for Artichoke (Cynara Scolymus L.) leaf is methanol extract and for antibacterial effect is Methyl Chloride extract.

The contents of total phenol and total flavonoid of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) were measured. The antioxidant activity of the artichoke was evaluated based on its potential as a scavenging the ABTS radical. These results showed the antioxidant activity of artichoke has a close relationship with the total flavonoid content. The compound showing antioxidant activity was isolated from the artichoke by repeated column chromatography and recrystallization. Based on the spectrometric studies, the compound was identified as 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid, known as cynarin. The content of cynarin from heads and leafs of the artichoke determined by $C_{18}$ reversed phase HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) coupled with photodiode array detector was 10.15 and 0.67 mg/g, respectively. This compound showed potent antioxidant activities against DPPH and ABTS radicals ($EC_{50}$ = 14.09 and 28.85 ${\mu}M$, respectively).

Artichoke extracts are widely used alone or in association with other herbs for embittering alcoholic and soft drinks and to prepare herbal teas or herbal medicinal products in Viet Nam. The objective of this paper was a screening of flavonoids and total phenolic compounds content in the parts of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) as flowers, leaves, roots, trunks, stumps, The total phenolic compounds and flavonoids in the parts of artichoke were extracted among 3 extraction methods as methanol extraction (EM1), mixing methanol and water method (EM2) and water extraction method (EM3). Total phenolic compounds and flavonoids were determined by UV/VIS, HPLC techniques. The apigenin 7-O-glucosides, cynarin, narirutin, gallic acid, caffeic acid were found as the main flavonoids constituents in all parts of artichoke. It showed that value of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids by EM3 were higher than that of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids by EM1 and EM2. Furthermore, the results of this study revealed that total phenolic compounds and flavonoids, obtained by these convenient extraction methods, may show the quick efficacy of artichoke in all respects of their quality and quantity.

본 연구는 FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터를 기반한 다변량통계분석을 이용한 대사체 수준에서 아티초크(Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L.) 품종 구분하였다. FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터로부터 PCA(principal component analysis), PLS-DA(partial least square discriminant analysis) 그리고 HCA(hierarchical clustering analysis) 분석을 실시하였다. 아티초크 품종들은 1700-1500, 1500-1300, $1100-950cm^{-1}$ 부위에서 대사체의 양적, 질적 패턴 변화가 FT-IR 스펙트럼상에서 나타났다. FT-IR 스펙트럼의 $1700-1500cm^{-1}$ 부위는 주로 Amide I 과 II을 포함하는 아미노산 및 단백질계열의 화합물들의 질적, 양적 정보를 나타내고, $1700-1300cm^{-1}$ 부위는 phosphodiester group을 포함한 핵산 및 인지질의 정보가 반영이 되고, $1100-950cm^{-1}$ 부위는 단당류나 복합 다당류를 포함하는 carbohydrates 계열의 화합물들이 질적, 양적 정보가 반영되는 부위이다. PCA 상에 나타난 10품종의 아티초크들은 품종간에 중첩이 많이 이뤄지는 모습을 나타냈다. 아티초크 10개의 품종 중에서 'Cardoon'과 'Green Globe'가 계통분류학적으로 유연관계가 낮고, 서로간에 대사체 수준의 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것으로 보아 대사체 수준에서 마커 탐색에 가장 중요한 품종으로 작용할 것으로 판단된다. PLS-DA 분석의 경우 PCA 분석 보다 아티초크의 종간 식별이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 확립된 대사체 수준에서 아티초크의 품종 식별 기술은 품종, 계통의 신속한 선발 수단으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대되며 육종을 통한 품종개발 가속화에 기여 할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

본 시험은 제주에서 무가온 하우스 재배시 아티초크의 정식시기가 생육 및 수량에 미치는 영향을 구명코자 'Imperial Star'와 'Green Globe' 2품종을 사용하여 정식 시기는 전반기 5회(2월 25일~4월 30일), 후반기 6회(7월 30일~12월 15일)로 하였다. 전반기 정식에 있어서 화뢰 출현은 5~6월에 이루어졌는데 'Imperial Star' 품종이 'Green Globe' 품종에 비해 빨랐다. 첫 수확은 2월 25일 정식한 'Imperial Star' 품종에서 6월 16일로 가장 빨랐다. 수량은 전반기 정식의 경우 2월 25일 정식한 'Imperial Star' 품종에서 856kg/10a로 가장 많았다. 4월 15일 이후 정식에서는 두 품종이 모두 화뢰 출현이 이루어지지 않아 연내 수확이 불가능 하였다. 후반기 정식의 경우 화뢰 출현은 모든 처리구에서 이듬해 2월 하순~4월 중순경에 이루어졌으며 7월 30일 정식한 'Imperial Star' 품종에서 2월 26일로 'Green Globe' 품종에 비해 18일 빨랐다. 첫 수확은 4월 초순부터 가능하였으며 수량은 7월 30일 정식한 'Green Globe' 품종에서 2,127kg/ 10a로 가장 많았으며, 이후 정식시기가 늦어짐에 따라 감소되었다. 정식시기를 전반기와 후반기로 나누어 정식일에 따른 생육과 수량을 비교한 결과, 제주지역 무가온 하우스에서 아티초크의 연내 수확을 위해서는 2월 25일 정식이, 이듬해 수확을 위해서는 7월 30일~10월 15일 사이에 정식하는 것이 생육 및 수량성에서 바람직할 것으로 생각되었으며 정식시기가 전반기일 경우는 'Imperial Star' 품종을 후반기일 경우는 'Green Globe' 품종을 선택하는 것이 유리할 것으로 생각 되었다.
