In the course of screening tyrosinase inhibitory activity, total methanolic extract and EtOAc-soluble fraction of Smilax china leaves showed significant inhibitory activity. Further fractionation and isolation of the EtOAc-soluble fraction resulted in 12 phenolic compounds, which were identified as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (1), 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (2), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3), 3,4-dihydroxyacetophenone (4), 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzoic acid (5), trans-p-hydroxycinnamic acid (6), cis-p-hydroxycinnamic acid (7), trans-resveratrol (8), cis-resveratrol (9), dihydroresveratrol (10), moracin M (11) and kaempferol (12). Compounds 1-11 were first reported from this plant. Among the isolated compounds, compounds 2, 8, 9 and 12 showed strong inhibition on tyrosinase activity.

The needles of L. kaempferi was extracted with 95% ethanol and successively partitioned with n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$ and EtOAc. Repeated column chromatography on the EtOAc and $H_2O$ soluble fractions gave three flavan-3-ols, one flavone glycoside, six flavonol glycosides and one lignan derivative. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidences. The antioxidant activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging method. Flavan compounds indicated good antioxidative potentials compared with BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol as controls. In the anti-inflammatory test on most of the isolated compounds, NO (nitric oxide) assay against the RAW 264.7 (Mouse Macrophage) showed similar inhibitory potentials to NO production of the control. The cytotoxicity was determined by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and most of the isolated compounds indicated no toxicity in various concentration.

신선한 생강을 80% EtOH로 침지 추출하여 얻어진 추출물을 $CHCl_3$, EtOAc, n-BuOH로 순차 용매 분획하였고, pancreatic lipase 저해활성, DPPH 및 $ABTS^+$ radical 소거능을 평가하였다. Pancreatic lipase 저해활성을 측정한 결과, EtOAc층의 15.6 ${\mu}g$/mL의 실험 농도에서 에서 대조군인 orlistat보다 강한 $98.0{\pm}0.7%$ 저해능을 확인하였으며, 생강의 주성분으로 잘 알려져 있는 6-gingerol의 경우 같은 농도에서 $16.2{\pm}0.5%$의 상대적으로 낮은 저해능을 나타내었다. DPPH 라칼 소거능은 페놀성 화합물의 함량이 상대적으로 높은 EtOAc층의 125 ${\mu}g$/mL의 농도에서 $56.5{\pm}1.4%$, 62.5 ${\mu}g$/mL의 농도에서 $40.5{\pm}1.2%$의 라디칼 소거능을 확인하였고, 이는 생강의 항산화 활성은 생강 추출물에 존재하는 6-gingerol 등과 같은 페놀성 화합물이 관여함을 시사하였다. 또한 총페놀성 함량이 g당 $82.0{\pm}0.3$ mg으로 나타난 $CHCl_3$층에 대해서도 $ABTS^+$ 라디칼 소거 활성물질의 존재가 시사되었으며, pancreatic lipase, DPPH 및 $ABTS^+$ 라디칼 소거활성물질의 동정을 진행 중에 있으며, 향후 이들 활성물질의 활성 기작에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다. 또한 본 연구결과는 보다 우수한 pancreatic lipase 저해능을 가지는 새로운 선도화합물 발굴을 위한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 국내에 자생하는 생강의 식물 화학적 성분에 대한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Atopic dermatitis is a recurrent or chronic eczematous skin disease with severe pruritus and has annually increased in Korea. In this study, we investigated whether Duchesnea chrysantha (Dc) extracts have an anti-inflammatory effect in human monocytic THP-1 cells and human eosinophilic EoL-1 cells. The dried and powdered whole plants of Dc were extracted with 80% EtOH (Dc-1). The residue was diluted with water, and then successively partitioned with n-hexane, EtOAc, and BuOH to produce the n-hexane (Dc-2), EtOAc (Dc-3), BuOH (Dc-4), and the water-soluble fractions (Dc-5), respectively. The mite extract and LPS increased the production of IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 in THP-1 cells and the increase was strongly suppressed by Dc-3 extract, as compare with other extracts. Dc-3 also inhibited the release of IL-6 increased by mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. However, Dc-3 extract increased IL-8 production induced by the mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. These results suggest that Dc extract may be used as anti-inflammatory agents in treating allergic disorders such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.

In the present study, we investigated whether Houttuynia cordata Thumb (Saururaceae; HC) extracts have an anti-inflammatory effect in human monocytic THP-1 cells and human eosinophilic EoL-1 cells. The dried and powdered whole plants of HC were extracted with 80% EtOH. The combined extract (HC-1) was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water, and then successively partitioned with n-hexane, EtOAc, and BuOH to produce the n-hexane (HC-2), EtOAc (HC-3), BuOH (HC-4), and the water-soluble fractions (HC-5), respectively. HC extracts have no cytotoxicity on THP-1 cells and EoL-1 cells at a high concentration of $10\;{\mu}g/ml$ for 24 h, except HC-2 extract ($10\;{\mu}g/ml$). Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8 and Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in THP-1 cells were increased after the treatment with the extract from house dust mite or LPS. The increase of cytokine production was strongly suppressed by HC-3 extract, in comparision with other extracts. HC-3 also had inhibitory effect on Interleukin-6 production increased by mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. However, HC-3 extract increased Interleukin-8 production induced by mite extract and LPS in EoL-1 cells. These results suggest that HC extracts may be used as useful agents for treating allergic disorders such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro inhibitory effects of Fucofuroeckol-A isolated from Eisenia bicyclis against tyrosinase activity and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-induced melanin biosynthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Result: Among the ethanolic (EtOH) extract of E. bicyclis and its organic solvent fractions, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction showed a noticeable inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase with an $IC_{50}$ value of $37.6{\pm}0.1{\mu}g/mL$. Repeated column chromatography of the active EtOAc fraction resulted in the isolation of Fucofuroeckol-A. It evidenced more potent tyrosinase inhibitory effect with an $IC_{50}$ value of $11.4{\pm}1.4{\mu}M$ than arbutin ($IC_{50}=1076.6{\pm}44.3{\mu}M$), which was used as a positive control. Lineweaver-Burk plots suggest that Fucofuroeckol-A plays as a noncompetitive inhibitor against tyrosinase. Furthermore, we have evaluated the inhibitory effects of Fucofuroeckol-A on IBMX-induced melanin formation in B16F10 melanoma cells. Fucofuroeckol-A ($12.5-100{\mu}M$) exhibited a significant inhibition of melanin production in the melanoma cells. Conclusion: In the present study, we suggested that Fucofuroeckol-A might prove possibility as a novel inhibitor of melanin biosynthesis in cosmetic applications.

본 연구는 TNF-${\alpha}$로 자극된 HUVEC에서 녹차씨껍질 EtOAC 추출물이 초기 동맥경화 과정에 중요한 역할을 하는 염증매개인자와 세포부착물질에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 녹차씨껍질 EtOAC 추출물의 NO 생성능은 TNF-${\alpha}$만을 처리한 control군에 비해 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. $100{\mu}g$/mL 농도에서는 녹차씨껍질 EtOAC 추출물은 세포독성을 보이지 않았으며 염증매개인자인 TNF-${\alpha}$ 수준 및 세포부착물질인 VCAM-1과 MCP-1의 생성을 억제하였다. 뿐만아니라, 녹차씨껍질 EtOAC 추출물은 총 항산화능은 증가되는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서, 녹차씨껍질 EtOAC 추출물은 HUVEC에서 TNF-${\alpha}$로 인한 총 항산화능의 수준을 향상시켜 염증생성인자인 TNF-${\alpha}$ 수준 및 세포부착물질인 VCAM-1과 MCP-1의 생성을 억제하여 동맥경화 초기반응을 억제하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
