The radical scavenging activity of methanol extracts of seaweeds and their active compounds, alginic acid, fucoidan and phloroglucinol, were investigated under in vitro. Among methanol extracts of seaweeds (sea mustard, sea tangle, seaweed papulosa, fusiforme, sea lettuce, purple laver and chlorella), seaweed papulosa and sea tangle showed strong scavenging activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl radical (${\cdot}OH$). In addition, under in vitro, the scavenging activities on DPPH radical of alginic acid and fucoidan, which are active compounds of brown algae, and phloroglucinol, the active compound from Ecklonia species, were evaluated and compared. Fucoidan and phloroglucinol showed strong DPPH scavenging effect, in particular, phloroglucinol had strongest activity among the active compounds. On the other hand, alginic acid did not exert DPPH scavenging activity. From the present study, we could confirm the antioxidative activity of seaweeds and its active compounds.

This study was conducted to evaluate the increase of DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute by heating. The meat substitute showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than those of other foods rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken, and soybean curd. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute was dependent upon concentration, heating temperature and heating time of meat substitute. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute was enhanced with increasing heating temperature and time. The increase of DPPH radical scavenging activity was only applied to meat substitute without showing any activation in other foods rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken, and soybean curd.

As a part of our search for novel antioxidants from the seaweeds, we have investigated radical scavenging effect for their crude extracts using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, authentic peroxynitrite, and 3-morpholinsydnonimine (SIN-1), a peroxynitrite-generating species in vitro. Thirty-four seaweeds were screened for $ONOO^-$ and DPPH radical scavenging activities. A potent inhibitory effect against peroxynitrite generated by SIN-1 at $5{\mu}g/ml$ of methanol extracts was observed in order of Ishige okamurae(95.3%), Sargassum hemiphyllum(90.2%), Symphyocladia latiuscula(89.6%), Porphyra suborbiculata(86.7%), and Gelidium amamsii(85.9%), Also, a significant scavenging effect against direct authentic peroxynitrite was revekaled for methanol extracts of Ishige okamurae(66.2%) and Sargassum hemiphyllum(55.2%) and the acetone/methylene chloride(1:1) extract of Gigatina tenella (61.0%). In our measurement for evaluating the capacity to scavenge the stable free radical of DPPH, acetone/methylene chloride(1:1) extracts of Symphyocladia latiuscula, Gloiopeltis furcata, and Sargassum thunbergii and the methanol extract of Sargassum sp. showed an inhibitory potency of 85.8%, 82.8%, 74.1%, and 64.0%, respectively.

Effects of root, stem and leaf extract of sancho (Zanthoxylum schinifolium) on the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the hepatic microsome of rat, DPPH radical scavenging activity and activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT) were examined in vitro. The highest inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation was observed by ethyl acetate fraction than that of methylene chloride fraction of the root and stem extracts. The high inhibition of lipid peroxidation was determined in the leaf, the root and the stem in order. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethyl acetate fraction was higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extract. It was similar to the inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in 2.500mg/mL of ethyl acetate fraction and it was 4.4 fold higher than that of $\alpha-tocopherol$, as an antioxidant standard. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was dependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.125-5.000 mg/mL. The throm-boplastin times were higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extracts. The leaf extract showed the highest antithrombogenic effect followed by the stem and then the root extract. The activated partial thromboplastin times were ependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.100-2.000 mg/mL. Consequently, the effects of antioxidative, DPPH radical scavenging activity and antithrombogenic of Z. schinifolium was observed due to the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the DPPH radical scavenging activity by methylene chloride, n-butanol and ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf extract.

The EtOH extracts of red seaweeds (Symphyocladia latiuscula, Chondrus ocellatus and Carpopeltis affinis) and solvent partitioned fractions were investigated for their 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging effects and the total phenolic contents were correlated with ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities. The EtOH extracts and their solvent partitioned fractions exhibited strong ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities. Among the solvent partitioned fractions obtained from n-Hexane (HX), methylenchloride (MC), ethylacetate (EA), and buthanol (BuOH), the HX fraction from C. affinis showed higher radical scavenging activities than other fractions. Total phenolic contents showed significant correlation ($r^2$ = 0.709) with ABTS radical scavenging activity. The results of this study suggest that the strong radical scavenging activity of HX fraction from C. affinis is a promising natural antioxidant for healthcare products.

In recent year, We are concerned in anti-aging, disease-protection, long-life, many method are used in solving this problem. Recently, We heard that Luffae Fructus Retinervus(LFR) has effect of anti-aging, disease-protection, long-life. So I let made a experiment for this result. The purpose of this study is to; 1) the anti-oxidant effect of Luffae Fructus Retinervus(LFR) used for 3 methods, those are DPPH radical scavenging activity, Nitric oxide(NO) radical scavenging activity, Superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, 2) cultivation 3T3-L 1 Preadipocytes and Protein chip used for ProteoPlexTM 16-Well Murine Cytokine Array Kit. We measured level of DPPH radical scavenging activity. And we experienced that the ability of DPPH radical's elimination was increased by rising concentration of LFR. When the concentration of LFR was 5 mg/ml, the ability of DPPH radical's elimination was Maximum. We measured level of Nitric oxide(NO) radical scavenging activity. And we founded that the ability of NO radical's elimination was significant when concentration of LFR was from 1.25 mg/ml to 2.5 mg/ml. We measured level of Superoxide anion radical scavenging activity. And we founded that the ability of Superoxide anion radical's elimination was maximum when concentration of LFR was 0.3125 mg. When we inspected Antioxidative Effects with BSA, we experienced that ability of defense was increased by rising concentration of LFR. We known the immunity of LFR about 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes and gained the increase of Cytokines(IL-2, IL-4, GM-CSF) without IL-12p70, $INF-{\gamma}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$ So I guess that Luffae Fructus Retinervus(LFR) has effects of anti-aging, disease-protection, long-life, etc.

본 연구에서는 미성숙 목화다래 추출물의 항산화능을 알아보기 위해 다래를 크기별로 구분하여 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량과 DPPH radical의 소거능, 아질산염 소거능, ABTS radical 소거능 및 SOD 유사활성을 측정하였다. 추출물의 페놀성 화합물과 플라보노이드 함량은 목화다래의 크기가 작을수록 높게 나타났으며, DPPH radical 소거능 및 ABTS radical의 소거능 또한 작은 크기에서 상대적으로 높은 활성을 보였다. 이는 다른 선행연구들에서와 같이 페놀함량이 높은 실험군에서 DPPH radical 소거능과 ABTS radical 소거능이 높게 나타나 유의성을 확인하였다. 아질산염 소거능은 인체 위 내부환경과 같은 pH 1.2에서는 높은 활성을 보이다가 pH 4.2에서는 점차로 활성이 떨어지는 결과를 보였으며, 중성에 가까운 pH 6.0에서는 아질산염 소거에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 SOD 유사활성은 대조군인 ascorbic acid에 비하면 낮은 활성이었지만, 기 보고된 다른 천연물들의 효소활성과 비교하였을 때 더 높거나 비슷한 결과를 나타냈다. 이와 같이 본 실험을 통해 미성숙 목화다래의 뛰어난 항산화 활성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 향후 화장품이나 기능성 식품 등에 있어서 새로운 소재개발의 가능성을 시사해주는 것으로서, 그동안 주로 천연 솜의 생산을 위해 재배되어왔던 목화의 제한적 활용성을 더욱 다양하게 해줄 것으로 기대된다.

The inhibitory effect of the aerial parts of Fagopyrum esculentum on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was examined. The n-butanol fraction from the methanol extract of title plant showed stronger inhibitory effect than other fractions on DPPH radical. Two flavonoids were isolated from n-butanol fraction having the potent activity and elucidated as quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside on the basis of spectral evidence. The $IC_{50}$ values of these compounds on DPPH radical were 6.56 ${\mu}M$ and 8.37 ${\mu}M$, respectively.
