This study was performed to investigate the effect of Gleditsia sinensis Lam. extract on the physicochemical properties of emulsion-type pork sausages during storage at $10^{\circ}C$ for 4 wk. Treatments were as follows: (C, control; T1, sodium ascorbate 0.05%; T2, Gleditsia sinensis Lam. 0.05%; T3, Gleditsia sinensis Lam. 0.1%; T4, Gleditsia sinensis Lam. 0.2%; T5, Gleditsia sinensis Lam. 0.1% + sodium ascorbate 0.05%). The values of pH, moisture content, lightness, redness, and sensory attributes were all significantly decreased, while the yellowness, chroma, hue angle, and texture properties were increased during storage with increase of the Gleditsia sinensis Lam. extract added. In addition, the antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity in the sausages displayed significant increases (p<0.05). Therefore, although it was concluded that the addition of Gleditsia sinensis Lam. extract is not effective for improvement of the physical properties compared to chemical additives in sausages, it could be applied to meat products as a natural preservatives.

조협은 trosinase 저해 활성 실험 결과 1.9%(w/v) 이상의 농도에서 70%이상의 저해를 나타내고, UV 흡수능에서는 220-230nm 에서 최대 흡수 파장이 나타나고 250-550nm 에서 고르게 흡수되는 경향을 보인다. 조협은 자외선 차단효과와 활성산소종 형성 억제 및 멜라닌 생성을 저해함으로써 피부미백 효과에 기여한다. 따라서 조협을 이용한 liposome을 제조하여 미백화장품에의 응용 가능성을 높여 줄 수 있다.

We investigated the effect of aqueous extract of Gleditsia sinensis thorns (Leguminosae) (GSAE) on the mast cell-dependent anaphylaxis. GSAE (0.005 to 1 ${g}/kg$) dose-dependently inhibited systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 in rats. GSAE (0.1 and 1 ${g}/kg$) also significantly inhibited local anaphylaxis activated by anti-DNP IgE. When GSAE was pretreated at the same concentrations with systemic anaphylaxis, the plasma histamine levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. GSAE (0.001 to 1 ${m}g/ml$) dose-dependently inhibited the histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) activated by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE. The level of cyclic AMP in RPMC, When GSAE (1 ${m}g/ml$) was added, transiently and significantly increased about fourfold compared with that of basal cells. Moreover, GSAE (0.01 and 0.1 ${m}g/ml$) had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-induced tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ production from RPMC. These results suggest a possible use of GSAE in managing mast cell-dependent anaphylaxis.

Against the mutagen MNNG and NOPD with SOS chromotest, the antigenotoxic activity of MeOH-soluble extract was much more effective than that of the water-soluble one. When the extract was added to the certain concentration, the antigenotoxic acivity was enhanced. Against the mutagen NOPD with Ames test, the antimutagenic activity of MeOH-soluble extract was better than that of the water-soluble one. The 60.4% of the inhibition ratio for the revertant colony-forming unit was shown at 5 mg of MeOH-soluble extract per plate. Antimutagenecity test with SOS chromotest and Ames test were performed using water-soluble and MeOH-soluble extracts from of Gleditsia sinensis. The antioxidant activity of MeOH-soluble extract with the NBT method was higher than that of the water-soluble one.

본 연구는 항산화 활성 및 항당뇨 효과가 있는 조각자 추출물인 GSM (methanol 추출물)과 GSE (ethanol 추출물)에 대한 연구이다. 추출 용매에 대한 페놀 함량을 측정한 결과 100 g 당 GSM에서는 1.12 g이며, GSE에서는 0.6 g으로 GSM에서 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능의 경우 최대 농도 1,000 ${\mu}g$/ml에서 확인한 결과 GSM에서는 68.8% 그리고 GSE에서는 70.4%로 두 종류 추출물에서 높은 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. DNA 손상 정도를 확인한 comet assay에서도 200 ${\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$에 의해 나타나는 DNA 손상에 대하여 GSM과 GSE는 DNA를 보호하는 활성이 있었다. 항당뇨 효과를 알아보는 $\alpha$-glucosidase 억제 실험에서 GSM은 17.9%, GSE는 10.3%이었으며, 처리시간을 증가하였을 경우에는 그 억제 정도가 GSM의 경우 25%이며, GSE의 경우 20%로 증가하여 항당뇨 효과가 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과로부터 당뇨병 치료에 대한 새로운 소재로써 조각자 추출물의 가능성을 확인하였다.

The fruit of Gleditsia sinensis has been extensively used as a key ingredient of an herbal remedy for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases in traditional Korean Medicine. However, the reason of using the fruit of G. sinensis for the remedy is unclear. Since Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) is a key anti-inflammatory transcription factor, which is activated by the fruit of G. sinesis, we examined whether other plant parts of G. sinensis are also capable of suppressing inflammatory responses by activating Nrf2. Water extracts of various parts of G. sinensis were prepared and tested for Nrf2 activation by reporter assay and western blot analysis. Our results show that the hull of G. sinensis is the most potent in activating Nrf2. Sequential organic solvent extraction of the hull show that all the fractions had a higher potency in activating Nrf2 than the water extract, albeit differential degrees. The hull originated from Korea in general activated Nrf2 strongly compared to that of China. Chloroform fraction of the hull was further examined, showing that the fraction induced nuclear localization of Nrf2, indicative of activated Nrf2, and Nrf2-dependent gene expression including NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO-1), glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), and heme oxygenase - 1 (HO-1). Therefore, our results show that, among other plant parts examined in this study, the hull of G. sinensis is the most potent, providing the experimental basis for the use of the hull of G. sinensis as an active ingredient for an anti-inflammatory remedy.

Antimutagenic activity-guided fractionation of an extract prepared from the thorns of Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (Leguminosae), which is a perennial shrub widely distributed throughout China (called "Zao Jiao Ci" ) and in Gyeongju city area in Korea (called "Jo Gak Ja" ) and has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of swelling, suppuration, carbuncle and skin diseases, led to the isolation of one triterpenoid and four steroids, which were identified as D:C-friedours-7-en-3-one (1), stigmastane-3,6-dione (2), ${\beta}$-sitosterol (3), sigmasterol (4), and stigmast-4-en-3,6-dione (5).

Traditionally, the thorns of Gleditsia sinensis LAM. (GS) have been used for the treatment of various types of cancer and heart, skin, vascular and inflammatory diseases. However, there have been no reports on the antinociceptive or antiinflammatory properties of the thorn of GS. The present study was carried out to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the ethanolic extract of GS (EEGS) and its sub-fractions. The administration of EEGS (500 mg/kg) or its butanolic fraction (50 and 100 mg/kg) reduced the frequency of the acetic acid-induced writhing reflex in mice. In addition, the administration of the butanolic fraction of EEGS (50 and 100 mg/kg) prolonged the latency of reaction at the hot plate in mice. The butanolic fraction of EEGS also inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide, prostaglandin $E_2$, and tumor necrosis factor-$\acute{a}$ production in the RAW 264.7 cell line. These results suggest that EEGS has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and is a potential therapeutic for inflammation and nociception.
