To clarify the oxidative stress of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the effect of Chrysanthemum morifolium L. (CM) flower extract on the cultured neuroglial cells (C6 glioma) damaged by ROS, cell adhesion effect was measured by colorimetric assay after cultured C6 glioma cells were treated with various concentrations of glucose oxidase (GO) for 5 hours. For the antioxidative effect of CM flower extract, cell adhesion activity (CAA), superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were assessed against GO-induced cytotoxicity on same cultures. In this study, GO remarkably decreased CAA dose-dependently, and the $XTT_{90}$ and $XTT_{50}$ values were measured at 15 mU/mL and 50 mU/mL following the treatment of C6 glioma cells with 5~60 mU/mL of GO. The CM flower extract significantly increased cell adhesion activity damaged by GO-induced cytotoxicity, and it also showed the SOD-like activity and the decrease of LDH activity. From these results, it is suggested that GO was cytotoxic on cultured C6 glioma cells, and CM flower extract showed antioxidative effects as shown by the increased CAA, SOD-like activity and the decrease of LDH activity on GO-induced cytotoxicity on the same cultures.

This study was carried out to identify the optimum dyeing conditions for maximum dye uptake of Prunus yedoensis Matsumura flower extract on silk fabric and to investigate hue/tone characteristics and fastness properties of the dyed fabrics. As results, the flower extract was found to contain flavonoids by FT-IR and to show yellowish shade by UV-vis spectrum. Silk fabric was optimized for maximum dye uptake to five repetitions of dyeing at $80^{\circ}C$ for 60 min with an extract concentration of 600% owf in terms of both K/S and color differences. Pre-mordanting was more effective to dye uptake than post-mordanting for all of the mordants used. Un-mordanted and pre-mordanted fabric showed YR(Yellow Red) while most of post-mordanted ones did Y(Yellow). Main tones of dyed fabrics were sf(soft) and lt(light) in the case of unmordanting or Al-mordanting whereas they were d(dull) and g(grayish) by post-mordanting with Cu, Cr, and Fe, respectively. The fastness grades to rub and dry cleaning were reasonably good for most dyeing conditions while those to light were poor. Finally dyeing condition for each hue/tone of the dyed silk with the flower extract was optimized considering fastness properties.

UV irradiation on a skin brings about the qualitative and quantitative alterations of the extracellular matrix. Repeated-UV irradiation suppressed the synthesis of collagen and activated the expression of the matrix metalloprotease (MMP). In this paper, on the purpose of development of novel anti-aging agents from natural sources, effects of several natural products on in vitro MMP-1 activity and UVA induced MMP-1 synthesis in human dermal fibroblast (HDF) culture were studied. We measured MMP-1 activities by fluorescence assay using gelatin as substrates. As a result, the extract of Dicentra spectabilis, and flower buds of Tussilago farfara showed strong inhibitory effect. Among them, the extract of flower buds of Tussilago fartara and Dicentra spectabilis inhibited MMP-1 activity by 92% and 87% at 0.05% (w/v). And UVA induced MMP-1 expression were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and gelatin-based zymography in HDF culture. The extract of flower buds of Tussilago farfara and Dicentra spectabilis suppressed the UVA induced expression of MMP-1 by similar level of Vitamin C 200$\mu$M at 0.1% (w/v). These results suggest that the extract of Dicentra spectabilis, and flower buds of Tussilago farfara effectively prevent skin from the UV-induced photoaging. So the extracts are thought to have potential as effective raw materials for anti-aging cosmetics.

This study was carried out to identify and quantify the flavonoids from 6 different plant parts of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum (AVP), including the flower, leaf, root, stem, flower stalk, and flower seed, using liquid chromatography/ mass spectrometry. Two major flavonoids were structurally identified as quercetin (3,5,7,3'4,'-pentahydroxyflavone) and kaempferol (3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxyflavone) at contents of 11.8-25.8 and $6.0-64.4\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In particular, the flower and root plant parts contained the highest amounts of quercetin and kaempferol compared to the other parts. We also assessed the recovery effects of each plant-part extract of AVP on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in WB-F344 cells by the scrape-loading and dye transfer (SL/DT) method. According to the results, GJIC was reduced by approximately 70.2% ($62.3{\pm}12.5$ cells) compared to the control ($209{\pm}9.5$ cells, 100%) when 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was treated alone in the WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells. However, the stem extract (0.2 mg/mL) restored GJIC to basal levels (92%, $204{\pm}2.3$ cells, p<0.01) and the flower extract (0.2 mg/mL) stimulated GJIC to 82.5% ($172.6{\pm}8.3$ cells, p<0.05), when applied together with the TPA.

본 연구에서는 금불초(Inula britannica) 종(種) 및 개화시기에 따른 금불초 추출물의 항산화 효능을 알아보았다. 이들 추출물의 free radical 소거활성을 살펴본 결과, 만개한 금불초 꽃(I. britannica var. chinensis) 추출물의 경우 500 ${\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 79.89%의 free radical 소거활성을 보였으나, 금불초 유사종인 가는 금불초(I. britannica var. linariaefolia Regel), 가지 금불초(I. britannica var. ramosa) 및 버들 금불초(I. salicina var. asiatica)의 꽃 추출물의 경우 free radical 소거활성이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 또한 꽃이 만개하였을 경우 꽃 추출물 분획에서는 93.62%의 free radical 소거활성을 보였으며, 봉우리 추출물 분획은 43.28%, 낙화추출물 분획은 14.11%를 나타냈다. 금불초의 종 및 개화시기를 선정 후, 추출용매, 온도, 시간을 조절하여 최적의 추출조건을 확립하였다. 그 결과, $65^{\circ}C$ 에탄올 추출물에서 가장 높은 DPPH free radical 소거활성이 나타났으며, 시간에 따른 유의적 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 만개한 금불초 꽃 추출물에 대하여 rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈 실험에서 세포보호효과를 측정한 결과, 5 ~ 50 ${\mu}g/mL$의 범위에서 농도 의존적으로 세포 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 특히 50 ${\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 ${\tau}_{50}$이 116.1 min으로 비교물질인 (+)-${\alpha}$-tocopherol에 비해 1.58배 더 큰 세포 보호활성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. HPLC로 금불초 꽃 추출물을 분석한 결과 flavonoid의 일종인 quercetin이 다량 함유되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과들은, $65^{\circ}C$ 에탄올로 추출한 만개한 금불초 꽃 추출물의 경우 다량의 quercetin을 함유하며, 그로 인하여 free radical 소거활성 및 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 효과적으로 보호함으로써 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부를 보호하는 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 기능성 화장품 원료로서 응용 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.
