  • Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including nitric oxide (NO), could be associated with the pathogenesis of various diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammation. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are known to play key roles in the development of these diseases. Cedrela sinensis leaves have been used in Asian countries as a traditional remedy for enteritis, dysentery and itching. In the present study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of Cedrela sinensis leaves in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Powder of C. sinensis leaves was extracted with 95% ethanol and fractionated with a series of organic solvents including n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. The dichloromethane (DCM) fraction strongly inhibited NO production possibly by down-regulating iNOS and COX-2 expression, as determined by Western blotting. Hydrogen peroxide-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also effectively inhibited by the DCM fraction from C. sinensis leaves. In addition, C. sinensis inhibited LPS-mediated p65 activation via the prevention of IκB-$\alpha$ phosphorylation. Furthermore, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) such as ERK 1/2 and p38 were found to affect the expression of iNOS and COX-2 in the cells. Taken together, our data suggest that leaves of C. sinensis could be used as a potential source for anti-inflammatory agents.

  • Scutellaria pinnatifida A. Hamilt. (Lamiaceae) is an endemic Turkish herb. This plant is also endemic to Iran, and grows abundantly in other central and western Asian countries. Several species of the Scutellaria are known for their traditional uses in the treatment of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, inflammatory diseases, hepatitis, allergy, cancer and diarrhoea. Free-radical-scavenging property, antibacterial activity and brine shrimp toxicity of the n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH) extracts of S. pinnatifida were assessed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the resazurin microtitre plate based assay, and the brine shrimp lethality assay, respectively. The DCM and MeOH extracts exhibited free-radical-scavenging property, with the $RC_{50}$ values of 0.362 and 0.127 mg/ml, respectively. Among the solid-phase extraction fractions of the MeOH extract, the 50% aqueous-MeOH fraction showed the highest level of free-radicalscavenging activity ($RC_{50}$ = 0.039 mg/ml). While the DCM extract showed low level of antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli, the MeOH extract was active against B. cereus, B. subtilis, E. coli and ampicillin-resistant E. coli. However, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the MeOH extract against these bacterial strains were >10 mg/ml. None of the extracts showed any significant toxicity towards brine shrimps ($LD_{50}$ = > 1.00 mg/ml).

  • Cellular protection against carcinogens could be achieved by the induction of phase 2 detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase (GST), NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO1). Nuclear transcription factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) binds to antioxidant response element (ARE) in the promoter region of these genes and the resulting transactivation occurs. In the present study the effect of gujeolcho (Chrysanthemum zawadskii) roots on the Nrf2-ARE pathway were investigated. C. zawadskii root extract was fractionated with a series of organic solvents and their ability to induce Nrf2-ARE pathway was examined. We separated the most potent dichloromethane (DCM) fraction into 12 sub-fractions and found several sub-fractions with strong effects on the Nrf2-ARE pathway. Fraction 4 strongly induced the ARE-reporter gene activity as well as Nrf2 expression. Sitosterol was isolated as a major compound in fraction 4 although its activity was not as potent as its mother fraction. These results indicate that C. zawadskii roots might be used as a potential natural chemopreventive source.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the constituents of Sophora japonica(Leguminosae) bark. To isolate compounds, bark was extracted with ethanol and then partitioned with hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate and butanol successively. After partitioned, DCM fraction was subjected to column chromatography with various solvent system in silica gel and/or Sephadex LH-20. Structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including MS, 1H, 13C and 2D-NMR experiments. Four compounds were isolated from the bark and identified as 3',7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone (cyclosin), puerol A, maackiain-3-O-𝛽-D-glucopyranoside (trifolirhizin), and 4', 5, 7-trihydroxyisoflavone (genistein). Among these compounds, cyclosin and trifolirhzin were first isolated from S. japonica.

  • 신규 항세균물질을 탐색하는 사전조사에서 몇몇 분리균주들이 그람양성 세균과 그람음성 세균 모두에 항균활성을 보이며, 심지어 methicillin내성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)에도 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이들 균주 중에서 한 균주가 표현형과 계통분석을 이용하여 특히 16S 리보좀 RNA 유전자 염기서열에 기초하여 Pseudomonas aeruginosa로 동정되었다. BCNU 1204 균주의 항균물질은 King's medium B (pH 7.0)에서 $35^{\circ}C$의 온도 조건으로 4일 배양 후 가장 최대로 생산되었다. 항균물질을 각종 유기용매로 분획한 결과, P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204의 dichloromethane (DCM)분획과 ethylacetate (EA) 분획이 그람 양성 세균에 강력한 항균활성을 보였으며, 특히 ethylacetate (EA) 분획이 methicillin내성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)에 대하여 강한 항균활성을 나타내었다. Recycling preparative LC와 preparative TLC 로 활성물질 하나(분획 5-2)를 분리하여 GC-MS 분석한 결과 phenazine 화합물에 속하는 phenazine-1-carboxylic acid 로 동정하였다. 그리고 MRSA 균주에 대한 최소저해농도(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC)가 MRSA균주인 CCARM 3089, 3090, 3091 그리고 3095 균주에 대하여 각각 $25{\mu}g/ml$, $50{\mu}g/ml$, ${\geq}25{\mu}g/ml$ 그리고 ${\geq}50{\mu}g/ml$ 임을 확인하였다. 그러므로 P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204 분리균주는 항 MRSA 항생물질을 개발하기 위한 잠재 가치가 높은 생물자원으로 기대되며, P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204 균주로부터 리더 화합물을 획득하기 위한 보다 많은 연구가 요구된다.

  • Background and Objectives: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for heart failure. However, in pediatric and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients, current adult indications cannot be directly applied because of heterogeneity in anatomy and diagnosis. Therefore, CRT responses and clinical outcomes in these patients were investigated to derive possible candidates for CRT. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 16 pediatric and CHD patients who underwent CRT implantation at a single center in early (0.7±0.2 year) and late (4.7±0.3 years) follow-up period after CRT. Results: The median age at CRT implantation was 2.5 (0.3-37.2) years, and median follow-up duration was 6.3 (0.1-13.6) years. Thirteen had non-transvenous CRT. Two had congenital complete atrioventricular (AV) block with previous right ventricular pacing, 5 had dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with left bundle branch block, and 9 had CHD. The mean ejection fraction of the systemic ventricle increased from 28.1±10.0% to 44.3±21.0% (p=0.003) in early and 51.8±16.3% (p=0.012) in late outcome. The mean functional class improved from 3.1±0.9 to 1.8±1.1 after CRT (p=0.003). Twelve patients (75%) showed improvement in ventricular function or functional class after CRT. Proportion of responders differed between patients without CHD (2/2 patients with complete AV block and 5/5 with DCM, 100%) and those with CHD (5/9, 56%), although statistical significance was not reached (p=0.088). Conclusions: CRT improved ventricular function and functional status according to the underlying condition in pediatric and CHD patients. However, further large and longer-term studies are needed to establish the guideline for the patient selection of CRT in these patients.
