In this study, we investigated on antioxidative activity, tyrosinase inhibitory activity and nitric oxide(NO) production inhibitory activity in the hot water extract of Taraxacum coreanum and its fractions. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were found to be 65.42 mg/g and 9.83 mg/g, respectively. And the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the ethyl acetate fraction were found to be 168.23 mg/g and 31.92 mg/g, respectively. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate and butanol fraction were exhibited 64.65 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 277.42 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Moreover, ethyl acetate fraction showed higher inhibitory activity than other samples in tyrosinase inhibitory activity. In NO production inhibitory activity, the extract and its fractions showed NO production inhibitory effect. Especially, the ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol fraction was exhibited higher NO production inhibitory activity than other samples. As a result, the ethyl acetate and butanol fraction from the water extract of T. coreanum could be applicable to functional materials for skin-related fields.

In this study, we investigated antioxidative activity, antibacterial activity against pathogenic strains including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and tyrosinase inhibitory activity in 75% ethanol extract of Taraxacum coreanum and its fractions. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were 238.59mg/g and 33.18mg/g and the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the ethyl acetate fraction were 427.81mg/g and 148.90mg/g as the highest content of fractions. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate and butanol fraction were 38.40${\mu}g/ml$ and 82.28 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively. In antibacterial activity by the disc diffusion assay against S. aureus, S. epidermidis and MRSA, the ethyl acetate fraction showed stronger antibacterial activity than other fractions and the extract. Especially, the ethyl acetate fraction was exhibited effective antibacterial activity against MRSA. In the cytotoxicity measurement by MTT assay, the extract and fractions were exhibited Raw 264.7 cell viabilities of 96.32~143.21% as nontoxic result in concentration of 5~100 ${\mu}g/ml$. As a result, the ethyl acetate fraction of the 75% ethanol extract from T. coreanum could be applicable to functional materials for related fields.

Methanol extract of Helianthus tuberosus L. (Compositae) flower was investigated to research the anti-oxidative activity by using a Caenorhabditis elegans model system. Ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the methanol extract showed the most potent DPPH radical scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate fraction was measured on its activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and oxidative stress tolerance with reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in C. elegans. Furthermore, in order to verify if regulation of stress-response gene is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of C. elegans which treated by the ethyl acetate fraction, we checked SOD-3 expression using a transgenic strain. Consequently, the ethyl acetate fraction of H. tuberosus flower increased the catalase and SOD activities in a dose-dependent manner in C. elegans, reduced ROS accumulation dose-dependently. Besides, the ethyl acetate fraction-treated CF1553 worms showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity than the control group.

Methanol extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Labiatae) root was investigated to research the anti-oxidative activity, by using a Caenorhabditis elegans model system. The methanol extract of this plant showed significant DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activities. Ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the methanol extract that showed the most potent DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activities. The ethyl acetate fraction was tested on its activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and oxidative stress tolerance in C. elegans. Furthermore, in order to see if regulation of stress-response genes is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of the ethyl acetate fraction treated C. elegans, we checked SOD-3 expression using a transgenic strain. Consequently, the ethyl acetate fraction of S. miltiorrhiza root increased the catalase and SOD activities in a dose-dependent manner in C. elegans. Besides, the ethyl acetate fraction-treated CF1553 worms showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity than the non-treated ones.

국내산 겨우살이를 천연소재 및 천연 보존료로서 활용가능성을 탐색하기 위하여 겨우살이의 methanol 조추출물과 n-hexane, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, butanol 분획물의 식중독 세균 억제 활성과 항산화활성을 조사하였다. Ethyl ether와 ethyl acetate 분획물은 공시균주에 대하여 0.9~1.8 mm의 inhibition zone을 나타내었으며 특히 ethyl ether는 B. cereus에 대하여 가장 강한 항균효과를 보였다. 또한 겨우살이의 ethyl ether 분획물은 S. aureus에 대하여 가장 낮은 6.25 mg/mL의 MIC를 나타내었다. 겨우살이 추출물 및 용매분획물의 항산화 활성은 ethyl ether 분획물에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 겨우살이의 총 페놀함량은 ethyl ether 획분에서 가장 높았으며 ethyl acetate, n-hexane, butanol 및 methanol 조추출물과 water 획분의 순으로 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 ethyl ether 획분의 강한 항균활성과 항산화 활성은 획분중에 풍부한 총페놀화합물과 상관이 있으므로 향후 이 획분중의 활성물질의 분리 연구가 한국산 겨우살이의 기능성 소재화에 필요하다고 생각된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the cytotoxicity and ${\alpha}-Amylase$, ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$, pancreatic lipase inhibition in vitro by different solvent fractions from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata. The values of $IC_{50}$ against Calu-6 cell showed a high effect in n-hexane fraction ($10.13{\mu}g/mL$) whereas DW fraction exhibited the weakest inhibition on cell viability, having an $IC_{50}$ value of over $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. The values of $IC_{50}$ against HCT-116 cell showed the highest activity in n-BuOH fraction ($102.01{\mu}g/mL$), followed by n-hexane fraction ($145.85{\mu}g/mL$), methylene chloride fraction ($332.02{\mu}g/mL$), ethyl acetate fraction ($462.93{\mu}g/mL$) and DW fracion ($>1,000{\mu}g/mL$). ${\alpha}-Amylase$ inhibitory activity in methylene chloride fraction and ethyl acetate fraction was found to have a higher inhibitory effect with 24.5% and 25.6% than the other fractions. The highest ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$ inhibitory activity was observed from the ethyl acetate fraction extract, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level of inhibitory activity at given experiment concentration. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of C. lanceolata was found to have a higher the effect in ethyl acetate fraction. Inhibition of lipase activity of the ethyl acetate fraction and n-hexane fraction showed a relatively high, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level at given experiment concentration. These results suggested that the roots of C. lanceolata may assist in the potential biological activity on carbohydrate, lipid Inhibitory activity and anticancer activity.

본 연구에서는 인위적 폐경을 유발시킬 수 있는 난소 절제 쥐에서와 돌나물 에탄을 추출물과 분획물의 혈 중 지질 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 난소 절제로 인해 야기되는 혈중 콜레스테를 함량의 증가는 돌나물 추출물 및 ethyl acetate 분획물의 투여에 의해 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 혈중 중성지방 농도에서도 돌나물 분획물 투여가 유의적 감소 효과를 나타내었다. 한편, 혈 중 HDL-콜레스테를 함량은 난소 절제군에 비해 난소 절제 후 ethyl acetate 분획물을 투여한 군에서 그 수치가 유의적으로 증가 하였고, Sham군에 비해 오히려 더 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 혈중 중성지방 농도에서도 돌나물 분획물 투여가 유의적 감소 효과를 나타내었다. 돌나물 추출물과 분획물이 에스트로겐 감소로 인한 혈중 지질 대사에 효과를 나타낸 본 실험 결과를 미루어 보아, 돌나물 중의 에스트로겐 유사 효과를 나타내는 phytoestrogen이 있을 것으로 추론되고 이로 인해 외인성 에스트로겐 투여로 인한 부작용을 줄여 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이상과 같은결과는 돌나물의 섭취가 폐경기 여성에게 폐경기 증상의 호전 및 순환계질환의 위험도를 감소시킬수 있을것으로 사료되어진다.

This study was performed to evaluate the lifespan extending effects of the dried ginger (Zingiber officnale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae). Ethanol extract of the dried ginger was successively partitioned as methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and $H_2O$ soluble fractions, and lifespan-extending effects of the fractions were investigated using Caenorhabditis elegans model system. Ethyl acetate-soluble fraction showed the most potent longevity property. Furthermore, ethyl acetate-soluble fraction elevated thermal stress tolerance, and increased expression of stress resistance protein. Further studies were performed to investigate several aging-related factors such as reproduction, food intake, growth and movement of C. elegans. The results revealed that there were no significant changes in aging-related factors including reproduction, food intake and growth, however, ethyl acetate-soluble fraction treatment led to an up-regulation of locomotory ability of aged worms, suggesting ethyl acetate-soluble fraction affected healthspan as well as lifespan of nematode.
