In this study, we first analyzed the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents and the antioxidant activity of Dendropanax morbiferus extracts obtained from different parts using different solvents. We then investigated the possibility of producing Dendropanax morbiferus leaf extract loaded polyurethane (PU) nanofibers via electrospinning. The total polyphenol and flavonoid content and the antioxidant activity of the Dendropanax morbiferus leaf extracts obtained distilled water were found to be higher than those of the extracts obtained under other conditions, and it was therefore used to prepare the extracts/PU nanofibers by varying the concentrations of both the Dendropanax morbiferus leaf extract and PU. The most appropriate fiber morphology were when 1.5% and 1.0% of the Dendropanax morbiferus leaf extracts were added to 12% and 13% PU, respectively. Fourier-tranform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyse reveal the successful incorporation of the Dendropanax morbiferus leaf extracts into the PU matrix. In addition, the nanofibers containing this leaf extract were confirmed to exhibit antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting the potential usefulness of nanofacial masks containing the Dendropanax morbiferus leaf extract.

In the study reported here, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the ethanol leaf extract of Dendropanax morbiferus Lev. from Jeju Island was investigated. Of the 14 strains of 12 species of microorganisms tested, the extract exhibited antimicrobial activity observed against seven Gram-positive bacteria of four species, but not against six Gram-negative bacteria and a yeast strain. Using the disc diffusion method, the diameter of the inhibition zone increased with application of the extract with every strain and the highest growth inhibition was exhibited with Staphylococcus aureus KCTC 1916 at 5 mg/ml. The minimal inhibitory concentration of the extract (MIC) by turbidity was 2.5 mg/ml against Bacillus cereus KACC 12672 and 15 mg/ml when with Enterococcus faecalis KCTC 3206. The minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) values defined as being $${\geq_-}99.9%$$ reduction in viable cells against the tested strains was higher than the MIC values. Time killing curves using the optimum MIC were performed on seven strains incubated for 48 hr. The growth of B. cereus KACC 12672 was detected after 12 hr and no significant growth was found in the others strains after 48 hr (p<0.05). The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity of the ethanol leaf extract was similar to that of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) at the same concentration. These results indicate that leaf extract of D. morbiferus Lev. can be utilized as a natural preservative and an antioxidant.

Dendropanax morbiferus H. Lev has been reported to have some pharmacologic activities and also interested in functional cosmetics. We found that the water extract of D. morbiferus leaves significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity and melanin formation in α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)-induced B16-F10 cells. D. morbiferus reduced melanogenesis-related protein levels, such as microphthalmia? associated transcription factor (MITF), TRP-1, and TRP-2, without any cytotoxicity. Two active ingredients of D. morbiferus, (10E)-9,16-dihydroxyoctadeca-10,17-dien-12,14-diynoate (DMW-1) and (10E)-(?)-10,17-octadecadiene-12,14-diyne-1,9,16-triol (DMW-2) were identified by testing the anti-melanogenic effects and then by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis. DMW-1 and DMW-2 significantly inhibited melanogenesis by the suppression of protein kinase A (PKA)/cyclic AMP (cAMP)-responsive binding protein (CREB) and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. DMW-1 showed a better inhibitory effect than DMW-2 in α-MSH-induced B16-F10 cells. D. morbiferus and its active component DMW-1 inhibited melanogenesis through the downregulation of cAMP, p-PKA/CREB, p-p38, MITF, TRP-1, TRP-2, and tyrosinase. These results indicate that D. morbiferus and DMW-1 may be useful ingredients for cosmetics and therapeutic agents for skin hyperpigmentation disorders.

Dengropanax morfiferus (D), Broussonitia kazinoki (B), and Cudriania tricuspidata (E), a widely cultivated species in South Korea, has been used as traditional medicine to treat numerous diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antidiabetic effects in a various signaling mechanisms using mixed extract and major component contents were analyzed by HPLC in the combined extracts from Dengropanax morfiferus, Broussonitia kazinoki, and Cudriania tricuspidata (DBCE). DBCE inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activation and showed potent antioxidant effects, which are evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, and SOD assay. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells in pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. DBCE showed the protective effects in RINm5F cells against cytokines-induced damage by suppressing inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase and COX-2 expression and NO production. Insulin resistance is the primary characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the regulatory effect of DBCE on glucose uptake and production are investigated in insulin-responsive human HepG2 cells. DBCE stimulated glucose uptake, prevented Glut2 and phosphor-IRS1 downregulation induced by high glucose (HG, 30 mM). Moreover, DBCE pretreatment diminished glucose levels, PEPCK and G6Pase overexpression provoked by HG. These findings suggest that DBCE might be used for diabetes treatment through alpha-glucosidase or alpha-amylase activity regulation, pancreatic beta cell protection, hepatic glucose sensitivity improvement. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells' infiltrations around the pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Dog owners seek treatment when their pets develop cancer. IMMUNIES is traditional herbal medicine-based figment made of 10 natural herbs, designed to maintain host immune function. The major component of IMMUNIES is Dendropanax morbiferus. This clinical pilot study monitored the toxicity and efficacy of IMMUNIES. Four senile dogs with spontaneously occurring mammary and liver cancers were enrolled in this study and treated orally daily for 3 months, and their blood/urine biochemical profiles were examined each month. IMMUNIES was well tolerated during the treatment period. Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and C-reactive protein levels decreased in all four dogs, whereas red blood cells and hematocrit were within the normal range. IMMUNIES also changed the expression of several molecular targets in the anticancer pathway, such as pro-NAG-1, p53, and cyclin D1. Although the tumors did not completely respond to IMMUNIES, the biochemical profiles and clinical examination showed a stabilized cancer status for 3 months. Thus, IMMUNIES was found to be safe and well-tolerated in the dosage range tested and exhibited cancer antiproliferative activity in canine cancer. Future studies should address other potential benefits of IMMUNIES, including correlative assessments of immune function, quality of life, and owner satisfaction.

황칠나무 잎 추출물(DPL)은 염증, 당뇨병, 암 등 다양한 질병에 예로부터 약으로 사용되어 왔다. 특히 여러 종류의 암세포에 세포사멸 효과가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌지만 유방암 세포 SK-BR-3에 대한 세포사멸 효과는 아직 밝혀지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 in vitro 실험을 통해 DPL이 유방암 세포 SK-BR-3에서의 증식 억제와 apoptosis를 통한 세포사멸 효과를 확인하였다. DPL이 세포 생존율에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 MTT 분석을 수행했고 세포 생존율이 농도의존적으로 감소하는 것을 확인했다. DAPI 염색은 DPL에 의해 발생한 세포 형태학적 변화와 apoptotic body의 증가에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 보완하기 위해 annexin V/PI 염색 후 유세포 분석을 통해 세포 apoptosis 비율의 증가를 확인했다. Apoptosis 관련 단백질들을 확인하기 위해 Western blot을 수행하였으며, cleaved-PARP과 pro-apoptosis 단백질인 Bax의 증가와 anti-apoptosis 단백질인 Bcl-2의 감소를 확인하였다. MAPK 경로 단백질 p-ERK1/2, p-JNK 및 p-p38의 발현 수준의 변화도 확인하였으며 p-p38의 유의미한 증가가 관찰되었다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 DPL은 유방암 세포 SK-BR-3에서 p-p38 MAPK 경로 조절을 통해 세포사멸 효과를 유도하는 것으로 사료된다.
