본 연구에서는 아로니아 추출물의 항산화제와 항알레르기 치료제로써의 유효성을 알아보기 위해 페놀성 화합물 및 플라보노이드 함량과 DPPH 라디칼 포착효능, superoxide 음이온 라디칼 포착효능, 5-LO억제 효능 및 COX억제효능을 측정하였다. 측정결과 아로니아는 유효성분으로 예상되는 페놀성 화합물과 플라보노이드가 각각 $745.4{\pm}3.7\;mg/g$, $74.63{\pm}2.2\;mg/g$으로 상당량 함유되어 있으며, 상당히 낮은 농도($6.15{\pm}0.343\;ppm$, $6.99{\pm}1.26\;ppm$)에서 DPPH 라디칼과 superoxide 음이온 라디칼을 50% 소거하는 것으로 나타났다. 아로니아의 항알레르기 효능에 관하여 5-LO의 $IC_{50}$값이 $47.07{\pm}0.15\;ppm$으로, EGCG의 $IC_{50}(15.83{\pm}0.98\;ppm)$보다는 높았지만 아로니아가 EGCG와 같은 단일물질이 아니라 천연혼합물임을 감안하여 다른 천연물들의 $IC_{50}$값과 비교하였을 때 5-LO를 비교적 낮은 농도에서 억제하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, COX-1과 COX-2의 저해 비율 비교를 통해 양성대조군으로 사용한 EGCG만큼 COX-2를 선택적으로 저해하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과에 따르면 아로니아 추출물은 항산화 및 항알레르기 효능을 갖고 있으며, 따라서 알레르기성 비염이나 아토피와 같은 알레르기 관련 질병 치료에 유효하게 사용될 것이라 생각된다.

The antioxidant activities of methanol and dichloromethane extracts of eighteen salt marsh plants were tested by using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl(DPPH) at a $100{\mu}g/ml$ concentrations. The methanol extracts of four salt marsh plants(Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Erigeron annuus, Ixeris tamagawaensis kitamura, Artemisia capillaris Thunberg) were found to be most effective in DPPH radical scavenging activity. The DPPH radical scavenging effect of these plants was Artemisia capillaris Thunberg(88.67%), Rosa rugosa Thunberg(87.51%), Erigeron annuus(78.49%), Ixeris tamagawaensis kitamura(69.99%) in order and was comparable with that of natural antioxidant, L-ascorbic acid(96.64%). The next effective ones were the methanol extracts of Teragonia tetragonoides(58.66%) and the dichloromethane extracts of Artemisia capillaris Thunberg(54.67%) and the others did not show a considerable activity. These salt marsh plants were evaluated using the pyrogallol UV-VIS spectrophotometeric method to generate superoxide anion. Among them, the dichloromethane extracts of four salt marsh plants and the methanol extracts of fifteen ones were weak superoxide dismutase-like activities.

The antioxidant potency of methanolic extract Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn. (MECI), which are widely used in the Indian indigenous system of medicine for different purposes, was studied. The antioxidant potential was evaluated using different established in vitro antioxidant tests viz. determination of total amount of polyphenolics compounds, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, nitric oxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydroxyl radical scavenging and reductive power assay. It was found that MECI contain a high amount of polyphenolics and possesses significant free radical scavenging activity in all the assay. The higher activity was may be due to presence of richest amount of polyphenolics and flavonoids in it.

In this study, the antioxidant activities of red pepper seed kimchi extracts were examined. The extracts were evaluated by various antioxidant assays that included determinations of total phenolic and flavonoid contents, DPPH radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, nitric oxide scavenging, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, metal chelating activity, and reducing power. All the kimchi extracts showed strong antioxidant activities by the tested methods. The 7% red pepper seed kimchi that was fermented for 6 days possessed the highest activity according to the performed tests. Yet, the highest scavenging activity was exhibited against nitrite, by extracts from kimchi for 0 day of fermentation rather than 6 days. All the activities for the kimchi fermented for 0 day with the addition of 7% red pepper seed increased markedly with an increase in concentration. With the exception of metal chelating and SOD activities, for the antioxidant properties assayed, the red pepper seed kimchi extracts were found to be highly effective.

An antioxidant was isolated from Korean mistletoe (Viscum album var. coloratum) by consecutive purification using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and RP-HPLC. The active principle was identified as homo-flavoyadorinin-B (3',7-dimethoxyluteolin-4'-O-[apiosyl $(1{\rightarrow}2)$ glucoside]) by spectral analyses. It inhibited 74.6% of hydroxyl radical and 30.6% of superoxide anion radical at 0.01 mM; however, th~compound did not show any scavenging activity against hydrogen peroxide radical. At 0.1 mM, above compound scavenged superoxide anion radical about twice as effective as positive controls, BHT and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Radical scavenging activities of homo-flavoyadorinin-B on DPPH, hydroxyl, and hydrogen peroxide radicals were almost same with those of positive controls.

The free radical scavenging activities and the protective effects of Rhus javanica extracts against oxidative damage induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) were investigated. n-Hexane, ethyl acetate and water fractions were prepared from a methanol extract. DPPH radical, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were estimated. Intracellular ROS formation was quantified using fluorescent probes, 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) for hydroxyl radical and dihydroethidium (DHE) for superoxide anion. The oxidative DNA damage was investigated by the comet assay in HepG$_2$ cells exposed either to $H_2O$$_2$ or to menadione. The highest $IC_{50}$/ values for DPPH radical scavenging activity was found in the ethyl acetate fraction with a value of 5.38 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL. Cells pretreated with $\geq$ 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL of the ethyl acetate extract had significantly increased cell viability compared to control cells, which were not pretreated with the extract. Intracellular ROS formation and DNA damage in HepG$_2$ cells, which were pretreated with the various concentrations of Rhus javanica ethyl acetate extract and then incubated either with $H_2O$$_2$ or with menadione, reduced in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that Rhus javanica might have biologically active components which have strong protective effects against ROS induced oxidative damages to the biomolecules, such as cell membranes and DNA.
