귀전우(Euonymus alatus Sieb.)가 간암, 식도암, 위암, 자궁암등의 각종 암을 치료하는 방법으로 민방에서 많이 사용하고 있다. 실제 Euonymus alatus(Thumb.) Sieb의 추출물중 Eupolyphaga simensis(ES)는 HDL-C/TC ratio와 LCATactivity를 증진시킨다. Human hepatoblastoma 세포인 Hep3B 세포의 성장억제를 유도하는 factor로는 TGF-${\beta}$, Insulin 등으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 귀전우는 간에 있어 당 대사에 관여하는 plasma HDL3-C level은 낮게 유지함으로써 간에서 지방간 이행을 억제 하여 간에서의 암 발생을 억제하는 효과를 보인다. 실험에서 귀전우가 자궁암세포보다도 간암세포에 보다 높은 세포독성을 보임으로써 여러종류의 암에 모두 적용하기는 어렵다고 보여진다. 또한 귀전우가 바이러스에 의해 유도되는 간암과 hepatocellular Carcinoma 세포에서 효과가 있는지와 HCC에서 세포의 증식억제효과를 어떤 경로를 통해 이루어지는지 계속적으로 연구가 수행되어져야 될 것이다.

Euonymus alatus (EAE) and Euonymus alatus for. ciliatodentatus (Franch. & Sav.) Hiyama (EACHE) belong to the Celastraceae family and are one of the medicinal herbs used in traditional medicine as a therapeutic agent for blood circulation diseases. In this study, we prepared leaves methanolic extract of EAE (L-EAE), twigs methanolic extract of EAE (T-EAE), leaves methanolic extract of EACHE (L-EACHE) and twigs methanolic extract of EACHE (T-EACHE), and compared their anti-inflammatory activities. To analyze the anti-inflammatory activities, Raw 264.7 cells were used, since they are immature-macrophages and easily matured by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. All extracts showed anti-inflammatory activities in the activated Raw 264.7 cells. That is, we showed that L-EACHE and T-EACHE are potent inhibitors of the production of nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results are expected to serve as a guide for future studies on the ability of Celastraceae family to inhibit acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

월출산국립공원 능선부의 식생구조를 파악하고자 미왕재-천황봉 구간 능선부에 방형구 ($2000m^2$) 11개를 설정하여 식생을 조사하였다. 식물군집을 분류한 결과 11개 조사구는 신갈나무군집, 신갈나무-때죽나무군집, 신갈나무-소나무군집 등의 3개 군집으로 분류되었다. 미왕재-천황봉 구간의 능선부는 대부분이 신갈나무가 우점하고 있었으며, 일부 지역에서 때죽나무, 소나무 등의 침엽수와 낙엽수종들이 혼효하고 있었다. 수종간의 상관관계에서는 산벚나무와 회잎나무; 졸참나무와 화살나무; 팔배나무와 화살나무, 함박꽃나무; 당단풍과 회잎나무; 철쭉과 회잎나무, 화살나무와 생강나무, 밤나무, 비목나무; 싸리와 산철쭉; 밤나무와 함박꽃나무; 함박꽃나무와 비목나무 등의 수종들 간에는 높은 정의 상관이 인정되었고, 철쭉과 화살나무; 싸리와 밤나무; 국수나무와 함박꽃나무; 산철쭉과 비목나무; 회잎나무와 함박꽃나무; 쇠물푸레와 사람주나무; 산벚나무와 조록싸리; 조록싸리와 비목나무 등의 수종들 간에는 부의 상관이 인정되었다. 조사지의 군집별 종다양성지수는 $2.3225{\sim}2.7721$ 범위로 다른 국립공원들의 능선부 식생에 비하여 다소 높게 나타났다.

This research was studied to optimize the recipe of rice pound cake with two concentrations of Euonymus alatus and grape seed oil, using central composite design (CCD). The mixing condition of rice pound cake was optimized by subjecting it to sensory evaluation and mechanical and physicochemical analysis, using response surface methodology (RSM). The results of the mechanical and physicochemical analysis showed significant values for color (lightness, redness, yellowness), texture (hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness), loss rate, volume, specific volume, sweetness, saltiness, moisture content and pH (p<0.05). The results of the sensory evaluation showed significant values for color, flavor, taste, softness, appearance and overall quality (p<0.05). As a result, the optimized compounding ratio was found to be 4.28 g of Euonymus alatus and 33.18 g of grape seed oil.

Purpose : 이 연구는 SKBR3 인간 유방암 세포주에 대한 Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Sieb 추출물 (CWE) 의 증식억제, 항산화 작용 및 세포사 유발 효과를 검토하기 위해 이루어 졌다. Methods : SKBR3 세포주는 48시간 동안 다양한 농도 ($0-40\;{\mu}g/ml$)의 CWE를 첨가하면서 배양되었고, 세포의 생존 비율은 MTT 배양을 통해서 평가하였다. 또한 CWE의 증식억제 효과는 유방암 세포주의 세포사와 관련되어 있음을 형태학적인 변화와 올리고뉴클레오솜 DNA 분절을 통해 확인하였다. Results : CWE의 50%에서 효과를 나타내게 하는 약물농도인 $ED_{50}$ (effective dose 50%)은 $9.3+2.2{\mu}g/ml$이며, 약물의 농도에 의존하여 세포의 증식을 억제시켰다. 아울러, 다양한 농도와 배양시간에서 CWE가 ROS 생산을 억제하는 것을 밝힐 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 작용과 항암예방효과는 농도와 노출 시간에 의존하였다. Conclusion : 이러한 관찰을 통해 Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Sieb의 열수 추출물은 SKBR3 인간 유방암 세포주에 대해 강한 증식억제 효과와 강력한 항산화효과 및 세포사의 유발 효과를 가지는 것으로 인식할 수 있다.

Objectives and methods : Previous mechanistic studies suggest the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors represent the good candidates against tumor progression. MeOH extract of the stem barks of Euonymus alatus induced the strong inhibition of COX-2. A phenolic compound responsible for the anti- COX-2 known to involve in tumor adhesion and invasion has been studied through the methanol extracts. The compound, rosmarinic acid (ROS-A) was an ester of caffeic acid and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyllactic acid. ROS-A showed a strong inhibitory effect of COX-2 activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Then we have measured the IL-1${\beta}$, IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ production related the immune regulation, induction of inflammatory related genes. Results and Conclusions :Hep3B cells produce proinflammatory cytokines of IL-1${\beta}$, IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ while ROS A inhibited the cytokines production. Since IL-1${\beta}$, IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ need the transcription factors such as nuclear factor- ${\kappa}$B (NF-${\kappa}$B) and activated protein-1 (AP-1), we measured the transcription factors. ROS-A inhibited the activation of p65, p50, c-Rel subunits of NF-${\kappa}$B and AP-1 transcription factors. These findings indicate that ROS A from the stem bark of E. alatus inhibits proliferation in metastatic cancer cells. It was suggested that stem barks of E. alatus could be suitable for anti-cancer drugs.

Anti-inflammatory effects of dihydrobenzofuran neolignans isolated from Euonymus alatus leaves and twigs were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Six neolignans, (+)-simulanol (1), (+)-dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (2), (-)-simulanol (3), (-)-dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (4), (+)-dihydrodehyrodiconiferyl alcohol (5), threo-buddlenol B (6) effectively inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) induced by LPS, and the activity of iNOS. (-)-dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (4), which showed the most potent inhibitory activity, attenuated the activity of iNOS enzyme and also the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins. The subsequent production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ and prostaglandin E2 were also inhibited by the pretreatment of RAW264.7 cells with (-)-dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (4). These neolignans are thought to contribute to anti-inflammatory effects of E. alatus, and expected to be potential candidates to prevent/treat inflammation-related diseases.

Objective : Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Sieb (EA) is a traditional Korean herbal medicine, commonly used to treat tumors in Korea and China for centuries. Several earlier studies have indicated that EA exhibits anti-tumor properties, but its mechanism remains to be elucidated. In this study, we evaluated the molecular mechanism of EA in a human uterine leiomyomal smooth muscle cell (ULSMC) line. Methods : This study was evaluated by: (a), morphological changes by using acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining; (b), DNA fragmentation by TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL); and (c), sub-G1 cell analysis. Results : This study observed that EA treatment caused apoptotic cell death and depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH) and that reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential was found to be involved in the initiation of apoptosis by EA. Conclusion : This results show that EA exerted clear cytotoxic effects and strongly inhibited the proliferation of ULSMC.

The major goal in the treatment of diabetes mellitus is to achieve near-normal glycemic control. To optimize both fasting blood glucose and postprandial glucose levels is important in keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$ is the enzyme that digests dietary carbohydrate, and inhibition of this enzyme could suppress postprandial hyperglycemia. The purpose of this study was to test the inhibitory activity of methanol extract of Euonymus alatus on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ in vitro and in vivo to evaluate its possible use as an anti-diabetic agent. Yeast ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities of methanol extract of E. alatus were measured at concentrations of 0.50, 0.25, 0.10, and 0.05 mg/ml. The ability of E. alatus to lower postprandial glucose was studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. A starch solution (1 g/kg) with and without E. alatus extract (500 mg/kg) was administered to diabetic rats by gastric intubation after an overnight fast. Plasma glucose levels were measured at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 min. Plasma glucose levels were expressed in increments from baseline, and incremental areas under the response curve were calculated. Extract of E. alatus, which had an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.272 mg/ml, inhibited yeast ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity in a concentration-dependent manner. A single oral dose of E. alatus extract significantly inhibited increases in blood glucose levels at 60 and 90 min (p<0.05) and significantly decreased incremental response areas under the glycemic response curve (p<0.05). These results suggest that E. alatus has an antihyperglycemic effect by inhibiting ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity in this animal model of diabetes mellitus.
