Taxonomy of umbelliferous taxa Heracleum moellendorffii complex has been unclear in their species delimitation in the far-eastern Asian regions. In both Korea and China Heracleum moellendorffii was adopted for their description while H. sphondylium was chosen to describe Japanese Heracleum. From Genbank accessions, taxa collected from Kamtchatka and Promorskiy, Russia were defined as H. maximum, endemic taxon to North America. In this study, we reviewed the taxonomy of Heracleum moellendorffii complex in Korea and neighboring countries on the basis of molecular phylogenies derived from sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. From three Korean accessions of Heracleum investigated in this study, two types of ITS sequences were obtained; two accessions were related to Chinese H. moellendorffii var. moellendorffii and North American H. maximum without forming a clade while the other one was identical to accession from H. maximum from Primorskiy, Russia. In the other hand, Japanese H. moellendorffii (=H. sphondylium ssp. sphondylium var. nipponicum in the flora of Japan) was closely related to H. maximum accessions from Korea and Russia, not nested within the clade comprising several subspecies of H. sphondylium. In order to delimit species boundaries among putatively closely related Heracleum species in fareastern Asian countries, more samples and much more rapidly evolved DNA regions must be investigated with interpretation of morphological and anatomical features.

This study was carried out to establish a proper cultivation site and to diagnose the drought tolerance of Heracleum moellendorffii leaves by using pressure-volume curves. As a result of analysing data measured, the leaf of H. moellendorffii showed the osmotic pressure at full turgor (Ψ_o^sat) was -1.0MPa, and that at incipient plasmolysis (Ψ_o^tlp) -1.2MPa. Then, the value of maximum bulk modulus of elasticity Emax was 28MPa, showing the sightly strong drought tolerance of H. moellendorffii. Furthermore, the values of relative water contents RWC^tlp and RWC^* were above 88%, showing that the function of osmoregulation is somewhat better. Thus, responses to water relations such as Ψ_o^sat, Ψ_o^tlp, E_max, RWC^tlp and RWC^* of H. moellendorffii showed it's slightly high drought tolerance property.

The root of Heracleum moellendorffii was extracted with methanol and extract was fractionated with n-hexane, $CHCI_3$ and n-BuOH. Repaeated column chromatography of silica gel, sephadex LH 20 and ODS led to the isolation of ten compounds from n-hexane fraction and n-BuOH fraction. On the basis of spectroscopic evidences, the structures of isolated compounds were identified as isobergapten, psoralen, angelicin, sphondin, xanthotoxin, skimmin, cichoriin, $heratomol-6-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, scopolin and apterin.

Dried parts of the herb medicines are difficult to distinguish morphologically. Heracleum moellendorffii cordata has often been sold instead of Aralia cordata in herbal medicine markets. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop the key for discrimination between them using the RAPD analysis and morphological characteristics. Thirty decarmer oligonucleotide primers were screened for the RAPD analysis, and four primers generated distinct RAPD markers specific to Aralia cordata, Angelica pubescens maxim f. biserrata, and Heracleum moellendorffii. The specific RAPD patterns generated by the selected primers were reproducible from dried materials. In comparison of morphological characteristics, Aralia cordata seems to be entirely developed in xylem fiber, but not developed in pith.

산채의 일종으로 현재 임업농가에서 활발히 재배되고 있는 눈개승마와 어수리의 수증기압차(vapor pressure deficit; VPD)에 따른 순광합성 속도 등 생리반응을 조사하여 효율적인 생산과 재배관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 건조한 High-VPD 환경에서 눈개승마가 어수리에 비해 증산량을 줄이면서 수분이용효율을 높이는 기작을 통해 높은 순광합성 속도를 유지하는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 어수리에 비해 눈개승마는 엽의 수분 퍼텐셜의 감소가 비교적 크지 않고, 엽의 수분 불포화도 역시 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 건조한 대기 환경에 따른 수분스트레스의 적응력이 비교적 양호한 종임을 알 수 있었다. 어수리는 VPD가 3.0kPa 이상으로 높게 나타나는 건조한 대기상태가 되면 순광합성 속도의 감소가 뚜렷히 나타나고 수분 퍼텐셜의 급속한 저하 및 엽의 수분 불포화도가 10배 이상 높게 나타나 상대적으로 건조한 대기 환경에서 생육하기 어려운 종임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 재배지의 환경조건이 VPD 3.0kPa 이상의 건조한 환경이 자주 형성되는 곳은 어수리의 생육에 불리할 수 있으며, 눈개승마의 경우 어수리 보다 다소 건조한 대기환경에 더 높은 적응력을 지닌 것을 알 수 있었다.

어수리의 미숙배로부터 체소포배 형성시 자엽의 수적변이에 미치는 cytokinin의 영향을 조사하하였다. 구상형배에 0.2mg/l의 BA, 2ip, kinetin을 각각 처리하여 2주간 배양하였을 때, 다자엽의 형성률은 각각 84.9, 42.6, 32.9%로서 대조구(25.2%)에 비하여 BA>2ip>kinein순으로 높았으며 특히 BA 처리시에 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 BA를 농도별(0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1mg/l)로 배발생세포괴에 2주간 처리하였을 때, 다자엽의 형성율은 각각 23.3, 39.7, 69.4, 74.4%로서 농도가 높을수록 증가하는 경향이었다. 0.2mg/l의 BA를 구상형, 심장형, 또는 어뢰형, 자엽시기의 배에 2주간 처리한 경우에 다자엽의 형성률은 각각 92.4, 84.4, 26.3%로서 배발생 초기에 처리될 경우에 더욱 높게 나타났다.

Activity-guided isolation of Heracleum moellendorffii roots led to four coumarin derivatives as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The structures of these isolates were characterized by spectroscopic method to be angelicin (1), isobergapten (2), pimpinellin (3), and (3S, 4R)-3, 4-epoxypimpinellin (4). All the isolated compounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 showed moderate inhibition activities against acetylcholinesterase with the $IC_{50}$ values of 10.2, 18.1, 21.5 and $22.9{\mu}M$, respectively. (3S, 4R)-3, 4-Epoxypimpinellin (4) was newly isolated from the plant source.

식용으로 사용되는 산채의 일종인 어수리의 지상부로부터 peroxynitrite 소거활성을 나타내는 성분을 분리한 결과 플라보노이드 성분인 hyperoside와 astragalin이 분리되었다. 특히, 높은 활성을 보였던 hyperoside는 이 식물재료 중 함량도 높아 어수리 잎은 peroxynitrite 과잉생산시 유발될 수 있는 당뇨병, 비만, 고지혈증, 심장질환 등의 예방과 치료에 유익한 식품이라 할 수 있을 것이다.

Although the roots of Heracleum moellendorffii (HM-R) have been long treated for inflammatory human diseases, scientific evidence for the anti-inflammatory activity of HM-R is not sufficient. In this study, we investigated anti-inflammatory activity and mechanism of action of HM-R in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. HM-R blocked LPS-induced NO and PGE2 production, but not HM-L. HM-R inhibited LPS-induced overexpression of iNOS, COX-2, $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells. HM-R inhibited LPS-induced $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling activation through blocking $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ degradation and p65 nuclear accumulation. In addition, HM-R inhibited MAPK signaling activation by attenuating the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 and JNK. Furthermore, HM-R inhibited attenuated LPS-mediated overexpression of the osteoclast-specific factors such as NFATc1, cathepsin K, MCP-1 and TRAP. These results indicate that HM-R may exert anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting $NF-{\kappa}B$ and MAPK signaling activation. From these findings, HM-R has potential to be a candidate for the development of chemopreventive or therapeutic agents for the inflammation and inflammatory diseases.

Heracleum moellendorffii roots (HM-R) have been long treated for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, backache and fever. However, an anti-inflammatory effect and the specific mechanism of HM-R were not yet clear. In this study, we for the first time explored the anti-inflammatory of HM-R. Results: HM-R dose-dependently blocked LPS-induced NO and PGE2 production. In addition, HM-R inhibited LPS-induced overexpression of iNOS, COX-2, $IL-1{\beta}$ and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells. HM-R inhibited LPS-induced $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling activation through blocking $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ degradation and p65 nuclear accumulation. Furthermore, HM-R inhibited MAPK signaling activation by attenuating the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 and JNK. HM-R increased nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 and HO-1 expression. However, NAC reduced the increased nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 and HO-1 expression by HM-R. In HPLC analysis, falcarinol was detected from HM-R as an anti-inflammatory compound. These results indicate that HM-R may exert anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting $NF-{\kappa}B$ and MAPK signaling, and activating ROS/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling. From these findings, HM-R may have potential to be a candidate for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs.
