96-well plate를 사용해서 DPPH free radical 소거활성의 고효율검정 (high throughput screening)방법을 확립하였고, 이 방법을 이용하여 107개의 식물특정 효소저해제와 다양한 식물 추출물의 항산화활성을 조사하였다. DPPH free radical 소거활성 측정 측정을 위한 적정 시험조건은 총 반응액이 $250{\mu}L$일 경우 $100{\mu}M$의 DPPH(pH 7.8), 20 분의 반응시간이었고, 이 조건하에서 ascorbate와 a-tocopherol 은 농도 의존적인 항산화활성을 나타내었다. 107개의 식물 특정효소저해제 중에서 11개의 화학물질이 $100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 70% 이상의 항산화활성이 있었는데, 특히 ampicillin과 gallic acid는 각각 90.2% 와 92.6% 의 나타냈다. 또한 100개의 식물 추출물은 $50{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 70% 이상의 활성을 보이는 추출물이 11개이었는데, 그 중에서 AT-407의 활성이 90.1%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 96-well plate를 이용한 DPPH free ra 이때 소거활성 측정방법은 여러가지 합성물질이나 다양한 천연물질에 대하여 보다 간편하고 신속하게 항산화활성을 측정할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

The antioxidant activity of the extract of Erigeron annuus was assessed by means of two different in vitro tests: bleaching of the stable 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH test) and the scavenging of authentic peroxynitrite in company with peroxynitrite generation from 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). In both tests, the 85% aq. MeOH and n-BuOH soluble fractions of the crude extract showed a significant scavenging effect on peroxynitrite and DPPH radical in comparison to L-ascorbic acid. And bioassay-guided fractionation of the n-BuOH soluble fraction led to the isolation of three compounds: Apigenin (1), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (2), and caffeic acid (3). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data and their antioxidant activities were measured by determining their capacity to scavenge peroxynitrite and the DPPH radical.

Aralia elata seeds were successively extracted with water, methanol, ethanol, acetone and chloroform. The crude extracts were investigated for antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. The antioxidant properties of various extracts were evaluated by antioxidant tests, such as DPPH free radical-scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay, metal-chelating activity, lipid peroxidation inhibition activity and reducing power assay. The 70% methanol extract exhibited the highest activity in the in vitro models of DPPH free radical-scavenging activity, metal-chelating activity, and reducing power assay. Acetone extract showed good effects on lipid peroxidation inhibition and hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay at a low concentration. In addition, the $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition assay showed that 70% methanol extract had the highest activity. These results indicate the high possibility of using A. elata seeds for medical application due to their efficient antioxidant properties.

Antioxidative activities of major pentacyclic terpenoids from the semi-fermented tea of Camellia sinensis L. were investigated. The free radical scavenging activities of triterpenoids $1{\sim}3$ were examined with of DPPH and superoxide anion radical scavenging activity. The $IC_{50}$ of compounds 1 and 2 for DPPH radical scavenging activities were 23.1 and $37.2{\mu}g/mL$ respectively, and for superoxide anion radical scavenging activities were 37.2 and $35.2{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. According to this result, compounds 1 or 2 in semi-fermented tea could be the candidates for bioactive material having antioxidant activity.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activity of the extracts of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner). The total phenolic contents in leaf, stem, and root were 165, 74, and 30 tannic acid equivalent mg/g of dried extract or fraction respectively. The butanol and ethylacetate fractions of lotus parts showed higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity than other fractions. 2,2'-Azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) cation radical scavenging activity also showed the similar result as the DPPH radical scavenging activity. The antioxidative capacity of the ethylacetate fraction was the highest among fractions and its fraction showed higher contents of total polyphenol.

In order to find the new hepatoprotective agents preliminary screening of twelve prescriptions which have been used for the treatment of hepatic disease in Oriental traditional medicine has been carried out. Both DPPH free radical scavenging and hepatoprotective effect on tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep G2 cells are performed. Osumokkya-tang which is one of the prescription belongs to interior-warming properties showed the DPPH free radical scavenging effect as well as hepatoprotective activity significantly. It is also suggested that its hepatoprotective effect is derived from Chaenomelis Fructus.

This study was to investigate the influence of pH on the antioxidant activity of melanoidins formed from glucose (Glc) and fructose (Fru) with lysine enantiomers in the Maillard reaction. Melanoidins formed from D-isomers were found to be effective antioxidants in different in vitro assays with regard to the ferrous ion chelating activity, 1, l-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging activities, ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP), and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activity. In particular, the chelating activity of these melanoidins at a pH of 7.0 was greater than those with pH of 4.0 and 10.0. The chelating activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the melanoidins formed from the Glc systems were higher than those of the melanoidins formed from the Fru systems. However, the FRAP and ABTS radical scavenging activity of these melanoidins were not different according to pH level, with exceptions being the Fru systems.

This study examined the quality characteristics of brown rice Sulgidduk containing acorn powder and the optimal mixing rate (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%). The moisture contents of brown rice Sulgidduk increased with increasing amount of acorn powder. The DPPH free radical scavenging activities (16.15%~28.06%) and ABTS free radical scavenging activities (22.98%~42.81%) of the brown rice Sulgidduk increased with increasing acorn powder content. The L value of the Hunter's color value decreased with increasing amount of acorn powder. The hardness and chewiness of brown rice Sulgidduk increased with increasing amount of acorn powder. The brown rice Sulgidduk containing 10% acorn powder showed the highest score with regard to the sensory characteristics. These results suggest that the most desirable amount of acorn powder is 10% and the addition of acorn powder could contribute positively toward the quality characteristics of brown rice Sulgidduk.

Degenerative diseases are commonly associated with excess free radicals. Acer okamotoanum, a plant endemic to Korea, is reported to have anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-viral activities. We previously isolated flavonoids from the ethyl acetate fraction of A. okamotoanum such as quercitrin (QU), isoquercitrin (IQ), and afzelin (AF). In the present study, the in vitro antioxidant activity of flavonoids such as QU, IQ, and AF isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of A. okamotoanum were investigated by measuring the free radical scavenging activity including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical ($^{\cdot}OH$), and superoxide anion ($O_2{^-}$). The flavonoids (QU, IQ, and AF) concentration-dependently showed a DPPH radical scavenging activity. In particular, QU and IQ showed a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than that of AF. In addition, the flavonoids (QU, IQ, and AF) at $10{\mu}g/mL$ showed over an 80% scavenging effect against $^{\cdot}OH$ radical production. Furthermore, the $O_2{^-}$ radical scavenging activity of the flavonoids, QU, IQ, and AF increased in a dose-dependent manner. Particularly, IQ exerted the strongest scavenging activities against $^{\cdot}OH$ and $O_2{^-}$ radicals among the other flavonoids. These results indicate that the flavonoids from A. okamotoanum, in particular IQ, would have a protective activity against oxidative stress induced by free radicals, and potentially be considered as a natural antioxidant agent.

액체크로마토그래피 (liquid chromatography; LC) 시스템과 연동된 radical 소거 활성 측정 시스템은 식물 추출물과 같이 수많은 성분으로 구성된 시료 중의 radical 소거 활성 성분을 확인하는 유용한 도구이다. 이와 같은 시스템을 사용하여 항산화 활성 성분을 가지고 있는 생약재로 알려진 유근피의 추출물을 대상으로 DPPH와 ABTS radical 소거 활성을 측정한 후 확인된 소거 활성 성분에 대한 질량분석을 실시하여 procyanidin B2, procyanidin B3, catechin-7-O-β-D-apiofuranoside, catechin-5-O-β-D-apiofuranoside로 각각 추정되는 4가지 성분을 확인하였다. 추출물 시료들 간의 상대적인 함량 비교를 위해 4가지 성분에 대한 MRM mode 분석 조건을 설정하여 LC-MS/MS를 활용한 유근피 추출물 중 radical 소거 활성 성분의 함량 비교 가능성을 검토하였다. 95% 에탄올 추출물을 기준으로 산출한 상대적인 함량 비교 결과에서 추출 용매의 에탄올 농도가 높아지면 radical 소거 활성 성분들의 함량이 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 각 추출물의 radical 소거 활성 측정 결과와 마찬가지로 에탄올 농도 50% 이상의 추출물들에서 procyanidin B3로 추정된 성분을 제외한 3가지 성분의 함량 차이가 크게 나타나지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과에 각 추출물의 수율을 추가로 감안하여 50% 수준의 에탄올 농도가 유근피의 radical 소거 활성 성분 추출에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 활성 측정 및 분석 방법을 활용하게 되면 유근피 자체의 품질관리뿐만이 아니라 추출물을 활용하는 다양한 제품 개발 단계에서 기존의 LC-UV 검출기 profile 비교보다 활용도가 높은 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
