  • Objectives: This experiment investigated the antimicrobial activity of Hwangryunheadok-tang and extracts of Scutellariae radix , Phellodendri cortex , Coptis rhizome , and Gardenia jasminoides against Salmonella typhimurium . Methods: After spreading S. typhimurium on a bacterial culture medium plate, antimicrobial activity was tested by dripping diluted Hwangryunheadok-tang or extracts of Scutellariae radix , Phellodendri cortex , Coptis rhizome , or Gardenia jasminoides (80 μl, diluted 100, 50, 10, and 1%) onto the plate, followed by culture for 16 to 72 hours. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was tested by dripping the minimum dilution that showed antimicrobial activity (80, 60, 40, and 20 μl) and measuring the density. The antimicrobial activity of Hwangryunheadok-tang and four extracts showed continuous antibacterial activity against S. typhimurium throughout the experiment. Result: 1. S. typhimurium . (Standard Microorganism, ATCC) 1) The Hwangryunheadok-tang and extracts of Scutellariae radix , Phellodendri cortex , and Coptis rhizome showed antibacterial activity in the undiluted solutions and in 50% dilutions. Gardenia jasminoides extract showed potency only in the undiluted solution. The antimicrobial potency of the undiluted solution was increased when the volume of inoculation was increased, but no difference was noted when the culture time was extended. All the extracts showed antimicrobial potency against S. typhimurium . 2. S. typhimurium isolated from diarrhea patients 1) When compared to the standard microorganism experiment on S. typhimurium , the MICs of the five extracts were increased. However, whereas the antimicrobial potency of doxycycline was lost entirely against bacteria isolated from patients with diarrhea, the antimicrobial potency of all the extracts was diminished but did not disappear. 2) The antimicrobial activity of Hwangryunheadok-tang and four extracts was continuous even when the culture time was extended to 16, 24, and 72 hours. Conclusions: The Hwangryunheadok-tang and four kinds of extracts have antimicrobial activity against S. typhimurium . Comparison of a standard microorganism with S. typhimurium isolated from diarrhea patients showed that the antimicrobial activity of all the extracts was better than that of antibiotics. Further studies should focus on the value and benefits of Hwangryunheadok-tang , and the four kinds of extracts as clinical treatments.

  • 치자 열매는 아시아에서 음식과 옷의 염료로 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 BV-2 소교세포에서 치자열매 열수추출물(GJ)의 항염증 효과를 관찰하고 그 작용 기전을 연구하였다. GJ는 세포에 독성을 유도하지 않으면서 lipopolysaccharide로 인한 nitric oxide (NO) 분비와 inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) 생성 및 활성산소 생성을 억제하였다. 또한 GJ는 농도의존적으로 heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)의 발현을 유도하였다. 더군다나 HO-1 siRNA를 처리했을 때는 GJ가 iNOS의 발현을 억제하지 못하였다. GJ는 HO-1의 발현에 관여하는 전사인자인 nuclear factor E2-related factor 2를 핵으로 이동시켰다. 또한 GJ에 의한 HO-1의 발현은 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI-3K) 및 p38 kinase 억제제에 의해 감소되었으며, GJ가 Akt와 p38 kinase의 인산화를 유도하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, GJ는 PI3K/Akt 및 p38 신호전달과정을 통해 HO-1의 발현을 유도함으로써 NO와 같은 염증매개물질의 생성을 억제한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 치자열매가 신경염증을 억제하는 새로운 기전을 밝힌 것이다.

  • Genipin, aglycone of geniposide isolated from fruits of Gardenia jasminoides, was transformed into blue pigments through reaction with glycine and methylamine. The blue pigments formed from glycine-reacted genipin were passed through Bio-Gel P-2 resin yielding fractions GG1 and GG2, and those from methylamine-reacted genipin were separated into fractions GM1-GM4. The first eluted higher molecular-weight fractions, GG1 and GM1, had higher tinctorial strength than the later eluted lower molecular-weight fractions, GG2 and GM2-GM4, respectively. $^1H-NMR$ spectra of GG1 and GM1 showed very broad peaks indicating that structures of the pigments were highly polymeric. $^1H-NMR$ spectra of GG2, GM3, and GM4 showed several sharp peaks at aliphatic and aromatic regions with accompanying broad peaks, although the spectrum of GM2 was rather simple. Determination of the structural and physical nature of the isolated pigments is in progress.

  • This research was designed to determine what components of Gardenia jasminoides play a major role in inhibiting the enzymes related antidepressant activity of this plant. In our previous research, the ethyl acetate fraction of G. jasminosides fruits inhibited the activities of both monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), and oral administration of the ethanolic extract slightly increased serotonin concentrations in the brain tissues of rats and decreased MAO-B activity. In addition, we found through in vitro screening test that the ethyl acetate fraction showed modest inhibitory activity on dopamine-${\beta}$ hydroxylase (DBH). The bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of five bio-active compounds, protocatechuic acid (1), geniposide (2), 6'-O-trans-p-coumaroylgeniposide (3), 3,5-dihydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) heptanes (4), and ursolic acid (5), from the ethyl acetate fraction of G. jasminoides fruits. The isolated compounds showed different inhibitory potentials against MAO-A, -B, and DBH. Protocatechuic acid showed potent inhibition against MAO-B ($IC_{50}$ $300{\mu}mol/L$) and DBH ($334{\mu}mol/L$), exhibiting weak MAO-A inhibition (2.41 mmol/L). Two iridoid glycosides, geniposide ($223{\mu}mol/L$) and 6'-O-trans-p-coumaroylgeniposide ($127{\mu}mol/L$), were selective MAO-B inhibitor. Especially, 6'-O-trans-p-coumaroylgeniposide exhibited more selective MAO-B inhibition than deprenyl, well-known MAO-B inhibitor for the treatment of early-stage Parkinson's disease. The inhibitory activity of 3,5-dihydroxy-1,7-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) heptane was strong for MAO-B ($196{\mu}mol/L$), modest for MAO-A ($400{\mu}mol/L$), and weak for DBH ($941{\mu}mol/L$). Ursolic acid exhibited significant inhibition of DBH ($214{\mu}mol/L$), weak inhibition of MAO-B ($780{\mu}mol/L$), and no inhibition against MAO-A. Consequently, G. jasminoides fruits are considerable for development of biofunctional food materials for the combination treatment of depression and neurodegenerative disorders.

  • Iridoid glycosides (mainly geniposide) and crocetin derivatives (crocins) are the two major active constituents in Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. In the present study, geniposide, crocins, crocin-1 and crocetin were separated from gardenia chromatographically. Then, mice were orally administrated with geniposide (400 mg/kg b.w.), crocins (400 mg/kg b.w.), crocin-1 (400 mg/kg b.w.) and crocetin (140 mg/kg b.w.) once daily for 7 days with $CCl_4$. Hepatoprotective properties were evaluated by biochemical parameters: Administration of geniposide, crocins, crocin-1and crocetin significantly lowered serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in $CCl_4$-treated mice. The reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) activities were also increased by geniposide, crocins, crocin-1 and crocetin. Histopathological examination of livers showed that these components reduced deformability, irregular arrangement and rupture of hepatocyte in $CCl_4$-treated mice. These biochemical results and liver histopathological assessment demonstrated that geniposide, crocetin derivatives and crocetin show comparative beneficial effects on $CCl_4$-induced liver damage via induction of antioxidant defense. Therefore, contents of geniposide and crocetin derivatives should be both considered for hepatoprotective efficacy of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis.

  • 치자나무 (Gardenia jasminoides)는 우리나라 남부 지방에 널리 분포하는 이리도이드 (iridoid)계 꼭두서니과의 수목으로서 그 열매인 치자는 예로부터 옷감의 염료, 식용 색소 및 한방 약재로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 치자에 함유된 주요성분으로는 치자 과실에 이리도이드 배당체인 제니핀 (genipin: $C_{11}H_{14}O_5$)과 제니포사이드 (geniposide: $C_{17}H_{24}O_{10}$) 및 겐티오비오시드 (gentiobioside), 크로신 (crocin), 노나코산, 기르네노시드, 만니톨 등이 있고 잎에는 가데오시드 (gardeoside)가 포함되어 있다. 치자색소중 가장 대표적인 치자황색소는 매염처리에 따라 색상이 거의 변하지 않는 단색성 염료이면서 매염처리를 하지 않고도 면직물 등의 식물섬유에 염색이 되는 직접 염료로서 그 시장가치가 높다. 현재 치자황색소는 가격경쟁의 격화에 따라 금액 기준으로 약간 감소하고 있으나 수요 그 자체는 라면 등 식품을 중심으로 광범위한 시장을 형성하고 있다. 다음으로 치자청색소는 치자추출물을 효소반응이나 미생물 배양을 통한 가수분해에 의해 다량의 제니핀으로 전환하여 여러 아미노산과 함께 생산이 이루어지게 된다. 치자청색소는 단백질 섬유에 염색한 결과 매염제 없이도 우수한 착색을 보였으며, 견뢰도도 우수하게 나타났다. 또한 냉과류의 합성착색료 대체품으로 신장하고 있는 스피룰리나 청색소와 가격경쟁력이 있어서 앞으로의 수요는 더 커질 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 치자적색소는 520-540 nm에서 최대흡광도를 나타내며, 이는 청색소와 마찬가지로 이리도이드 배당체를 효소 및 미생물로 가수분해한 구성물과 일차 아미노 그룹을 포함한 기질과 함께 반응함으로써 형성된다. 치자 색소는 식품 뿐만 아니라 섬유의 염색에도 우수한 천연색소로서 가치가 있다고 사료된다. 따라서 앞으로 식품에 있어서 천연색소로의 대체가 당면한 과제이며 이를 위해 식용색소로서 조건들을 만족시킬 수 있는 기술개발은 계속 이루어져야 할 것이다. 천연색소의 안정성 문제는 식품 뿐만 아니라 화장품, 섬유 염색 등 거의 모든 부분에서 제약이 되므로 추후 천연염료 (특히 치자 염료)의 안정성을 증가시킬 수 있는 품질 개발과 생산 코스트 다운을 위한 연구는 전체 천연색소 시장의 성장에 필수불가결하다.

  • 수용성 치자(水溶性 梔子)(Ga. jasminoides의 열매)색소(色素)(등황색)(橙黃色)를 냉수(冷水)로 추출하여 함유시킨 yeast morphology agar(Difco)에 각종 효모균류(酵母菌類)를 배양하여 그들의 균집락(菌集落) 색깔변화를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 치자배지(梔子培地)에서 증식(增殖)한 Ca. guilliermondii 와 Ca. lusitaniae 의 균집락(菌集落)은 $28^{\circ}C$에서 3일이내에 군청색(群靑色)을 띠었고, Ca. tropicalis와 Ca. viswanathii 등은 옅은 회색(灰色)을 띠었는데 Ca. viswanathii는 7일후에 군청색(群靑色)으로 변했다. Ca. krusei와 To. glabrata 등은 $1{\sim}2$주후 회색(灰色)내지 옅은 회청색(灰靑色)을 띠었고 Sa. cerevi-siae는 연두색을 띠었다. 그러나 Ca. albicans와 Ca. parapsilosis 등은 색깔변화가 없었고, 적색(赤色) 균집락(菌集落)의 Rhodotorula sp.도 변화가 없었다. 그러나 Cr. neofor-mans는 갈색(褐色) 내지 자갈색(紫褐色) 균집락(菌集落)을 형성해 다른 모든 균종(菌種)과 뚜렷하게 구별되어 기존(旣存) 선별동정배지(選別同定培地)인 caffeic acid 또는 dopamine배지(培地)를 대체할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 몇몇 Candida spp.의 특정적 색깔을 관찰할 수 있어서 치자배지(梔子培地)가 임상검체(臨床檢體)로부터 효모균종(酵母菌種)의 분리배양(分離培養)에 매우 유용하다고 생각한다.

  • Anthracnose symptoms caused by Glomerella cingulata were observed on leaves and stems of gardenia in Sunchon, Jeonnam in Korea in 2000. Symptoms on infected plants typically appeared as irregularly circular, dark-brown ring spots and water-soaked brown lesions. Based on cultural and morphological characteristics, the fungus (G-00-03 isolate) from the diseased plants was identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and its teleomorph stage was Glomerella cingulata. Healthy gardenia artificially inoculated with fungal spores showed anthracnose symptom 7 days after inoculation. This is the first report of gardenia anthracnose caused by Glomerella cingulata in Korea.

  • Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the optimization of antioxidant capacity in gardenia extracts. The antioxidant capacities of gardenia fruit extracts were investigated by ferric reducing ability (FRA) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity (RSA) assays. The optimum extraction parameters for the strongest antioxidant capacity were the ethanol concentration (EtOH) of 48.9%, extraction temperature of $72.9^{\circ}C$, and extraction time of 29.9 min. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the quadratics of EtOH and extraction temperature had highly significant effect on the antioxidant capacity (p<0.001). The antioxidant capacity was correlated with contents of bioactive components [crocin, geniposide, and total phenolic (TP) compounds] in gardenia extracts and mainly attributed to the content of the TP compounds.
