Asclepias curassavica. Linn, an erect, simple (or) much branched perennial herb with a somewhat woody base, belonging to the family Asclepiadaceae. It has been reported to have multiple pharmacological effect of anti-inflammatory, cardiotonic, anticancer, anthelmintic and to treat piles and gonorrhoea. It is to be expected that several activities might be related to a possible antioxidant action from this plant. The hydro alcoholic extract of Asclepias curassavica was tested in vitro for its antioxidant activities, such as DPPH radical, nitric oxide radical, superoxide anion radical, lipid peroxidation assay, hydroxyl radical, reducing power, and total phenol content. The extract exhibited scavenging potential with $IC_{50}$ value of $8.7\;{\mu}g/ml,\;198.4\;{\mu}g/ml\;and\;21.7\;{\mu}g/ml$ for DPPH, nitric oxide and superoxide anion radicals. The values were found to higher than those of Vitamin-C, rutin, and curcumin, as standards. The extract showed 50% protection at the dose of $134.2\;{\mu}g/ml\;and\;41.4\;{\mu}g/ml$ in lipid peroxidation as well as deoxyribose degradation, those values more to that of standard, vitamin E $(IC50\;values,\;119.2\;{\mu}g/ml\;and\;32.5\;{\mu}g/ml,\;respectively)$. The reducing power of the extract depends on the concentration and amount of extract. Since a significant amount of polyphenol could be detected by the equivalent to $0.0495\;{\mu}g$ of pyrocatechol from 1 mg of extract. It can be concluded that hydro alcoholic extract of aerial part of Asclepias curassavica could be considered as potent antioxidant, which makes it suitable for the prevention of human disease.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate anti-oxidant activities and anti-inflammatory effects of Sungyoutanggagambang(SYTG). Methods: In the study of anti-oxidant activities. SYTG was investigated by DPPH radical scavenger activity. superoxide dismutase activity and superoxide anion radical scavenger activity. In the study of anti-inflammatory effects. SYTG was investigated using cultured cells and murine models. As for the parameters of inflammation. levels of several inflammatory cytokines and chemical mediators which are known to be related to inflammation were measured in mouse lung fibroblast cells(mLFCs) and RAW264.7 cells. Results: Prior to the experiment. we investigated the security of SYTG by measuring GOT and GPT in serum. 1. SYTG showed high antioxidant activity in a concentration-dependent degree by measured scavenging activity of DPPH free radical, superoxide dismutase and superoxide anion radical. 2. SYTG inhibited IL-1$\beta$, IL-6. TNF-$\alpha$, COX-2 and NOS-II mRNA expression as compared with the control group in a concentration-dependent degree in RAW264.7 cell line. 3. SYTG inhibited IL-1$\beta$, IL-6 production significantly at 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ and TNF-$\alpha$ production significantly at 50, 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ as compared with the control group in RA W264.7 cell line. 4. SYTG inhibited IL-1$\beta$, and IL-6 production significantly as compared with the control group in serum of acute inflammation-induced mice. and decreased IL-1$\beta$, IL-6 production in spleen tissue. and also decreased IL-1$\beta$, IL-6 production in liver tissue. Conclusion: These results suggest that SYTG can be useful in treating diverse female diseases caused by inflammation such as endometrosis, myoma, pelvic congestion. chronic cervicitis, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and so on.

The in vitro antioxidant activities of five melania snails in the genus Semisulcospira (S. coreana, S. forticosta, S. libertina, S. tegulata and S. gottschei) were tested in detail. The total phenolic contents of the snails ranged from $32.3{\pm}1.0$ to $87.9{\pm}6.9$ mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry sample. The $EC_{50}$ values for the 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities were $2.245{\pm}0.179$ mg/mL for S. coreana and $9.319{\pm}1.276$ mg/mL for S. gottschei and differed significantly (P<0.05) among the tested species. The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity was highest for S. gottschei at 67.2% and lowest for S. forticosta at 4.7%. However, no significant differences among the species were recognized for the peroxynitrite anion scavenging activity. Comparing the correlation coefficients between the total phenolic contents and the DPPH radical and peroxynitrite anion scavenging activities, there was a low level relationship between each activity.

The objectives of this study were to determine the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of Zelkova leaf extract and the sensory and textural characteristics of Zelkova leaf rice cake. The ethyl acetate layer of Zelkova leaf extract showed the most effective DPPH radical and superoxide anion scavenging activities. The residual layer of Zelkova leaf extract exhibited potent cytotoxicity against the HeLa cell line. In the sensory evaluation, the color and taste of Zelkova leaf rice cakes were not significantly different. Zelkova leaf rice cakes with 20%(5.18), 25%(4.94) and 30%(4.88) added Zelkova leaves showed higher overall acceptability than 0%(4.06) added Zelkova leaves. In the textural analysis, the hardness of the Zelkova leaf rice cake increased slowly with increasing leaf content during 3 day storage. The cohesiveness of 25% and 30% Zelkova leaf rice cakes showed no variation with storage time but that of 0% Zelkova leaf rice cakes decreased with increasing storage period. The 'L' value of Zelkova leaf rice cake decreased with increasing leaf content while the 'a' value of 0% Zelkova leaf rice cake was lower than that of 20%, 25% and 30% Zelkova leaf rice cakes.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to elucidate the antioxidant effect of solvent fractions of Angelica gigas root. Methods: The ethanol extract of Angelica gigas root was suspended in water and then partitioned with dichloromethane (MC Fr.), ethyl acetate (EA Fr.) and butanol (BuOH Fr.), sequentially. The antioxidant activities of solvent fractions of Angelica gigas root were evaluated for radical scavenging activity against stable free radicals (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) DPPH, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion radicals. In addition the antioxidant activities of solvent fractions of Angelica gigas root against peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrites were determined by the total oxy-radical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay. Results: Among the solvent fractions of MC Fr., EA Fr., and BuOH Fr., BuOH Fr. was found to have stronger antioxidant activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 59.72, 14.36, 30.96 and $44.75\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ on the DPPH radical, nitrite, superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, respectively, than BHA used as a positive control. Moreover, specific TOSC values(564.8, 276.4 and 405.5 TOSC/mM) of BuOH fr. against peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite were 4 times higher than GSH (136.5, 67.4 102.6 TOSC/mM) used as a positive control. Conclusions: These results suggest that the BuOH fr. of Angelica gigas root has a high antioxidant activity and can be useful to develop functional food against oxidative stress conditions.

능이버섯의 추출용매 및 추출물의 농도에 따른 생리활성 효과를 측정하였다. 능이버섯 분말과 추출용매의 비율을 1:50으로 하고 물, 30%, 60% 및 90% 에탄올을 추출용매로 사용하였다. 수율 측정 결과, 추출용매에 따라 각각 52.10%, 46.90%, 41.50% 및 32.20%로 에탄올 농도가 낮을수록 추출 수율이 높았다. 능이버섯의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 60% 에탄올 추출물이 4 mg/mL일 때 40.40%의 활성으로 가장 높았고, 농도 의존적인 경향을 나타냈다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 같이 60% 에탄올 추출물이 가장 많았고, 1 mg/mL에서 16.23 mg/g으로 측정되었다. SOD 유사활성에서는 능이버섯 1, 2, 4 mg/mL 농도가 56.30~77.05%의 활성으로 표준물질인 ascorbic acid 10 mg/mL의 56.19%보다 유의적으로 우수한 활성을 보였다. 아질산염 소거작용 측정 결과, 산성조건인 pH 3.0에서 높은 소거능을 보였고 추출용매에 따라 30% 에탄올 추출물의 아질산염 소거능이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. ACE 저해 활성에서는 모든 추출물이 52.67%~89.52%로 높은 활성을 나타냄에 따라 능이버섯의 다양한 생리활성 효과를 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 능이버섯에서 유래한 천연 기능성 식품으로서의 이용 가능성을 엿볼 수 있었으며, 나아가 능이버섯의 최적 추출조건 확립 등의 연구를 통해 활성이 우수한 천연 항산화제의 개발 가능성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
