Ishige foliacea belongs to class Phaeophyceae and family Ishigeaceae. This study investigated the physiological activities of the Korean marine algae I. foliacea. Its solvent extracts were prepared with 70% ethanol, 80% methanol, and distilled water. The ethanol and methanol extracts had higher α-glucosidase (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, IC₅₀: 0.67-0.73 mg/mL), xanthine oxidase (IC₅₀: 0.25-0.28 mg/mL), and angiotensin-converting enzyme (IC₅₀: 25.29-38.28 ㎍/mL) inhibitory activities than those of the water extract. The ethanol and methanol extracts possessed high acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (IC₅₀: 0.78c0.97 mg/mL). Conversely, the water extract exhibited the highest β-secretase inhibitory activity (IC₅₀: 0.48 mg/mL). These results indicate that I. foliacea may be useful as a functional substance in food and pharmaceuticals with anti-diabetic, anti-gout, anti-hypertension, and anti-dementia properties.

A novel pharmacophore with epinastine (1) and NSAID moieties (2-5) was designed by molecular hybridization approach. The hybrid compounds 6-9 were synthesized by EDCI/HOBt or HATU-mediated coupling of 1 with salicylic acid (2), mefenamic acid (3), indomethacin (4) and naproxen (5), respectively, and were assessed for their inhibitory effect against NO production in LPS-induced RAW-264.7 macrophages in vitro. The Hybrids were found to exhibit significant NO production inhibitory effects with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) values ranging in between 15.96 ± 1.32 and 36.68 ± 2.53 μM and were non-cytotoxic to macrophages. Comparing the inhibition concentration (IC₅₀), cytotoxicity concentration (CC₅₀) and in vitro efficacy index (iEI), 6 (IC₅₀ = 17.97 ± 1.92 μM; iEI = 11.13) and 9 (IC₅₀ = 15.96 ± 1.32 μM; iEI = 12.53) were better suited than other hybrids as well as their parent compound. Our findings signify that hybrids 6 and 9 may serve as platforms for continued investigations for the development of more efficient anti-inflammatory agents.

In this paper, we present to evaluate physiological activity of Asparagopsis armata extraction. After extraction with Asparagopsis armata using hydrothermal and supercritical carbon dioxide, various physiological activities were examined. The total concentration of polyphenol compounds was determined to be 18.85 mg/g of hydrothermal Asparagopsis armata extraction and 14.74 mg/g of supercritical Asparagopsis armata extraction. In DPPH radical scavenging assay, ascorbic acid was used as positive antioxidant control. In ABTS radical scavenging assay, ascorbic acid was used as positive antioxidant control. The percentage of inhibition and IC50 were measured. The IC50 of Asparagopsis armata extraction is 261.44ppm and the IC50 of supercritical Asparagopsis armata extraction is 153.98 ppm. The elastase inhibitory assay showed concentration dependence and the IC50 of hydrothermal Asparagopsis armata extraction is 3387 ppm and the IC50 of supercritical Asparagopsis armata extraction is higher than 2500 ppm. In mushroom tyrosinase inhibition experiments, tyrosinase inhibition's IC50 of supercritical Asparagopsis armata extraction was 248.06. In the SOD-like experiments, the concentration-dependent results were showed and IC50 of hydrothermal Asparagopsis armata extraction is 845.29 ppm. In the antimicrobial experiments, maximum clear zones of supercritical Asparagopsis armata extraction represented 23.00 mm in Propionibacterium acnes. In the other hand, in experiments with the same conditions, hydrothermal Asparagopsis armata extraction had no effect in all strains.

The anticoagulant properties of compounds derived from fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Gaertner) fruits were evaluated using a platelet aggregometer and compared with aspirin. The active constituents of fennel fruits were isolated and identified as (+)-fenchone and extragole by various spectral analysis techniques. With regard to the 50% inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$), (+)-fenchone effectively inhibited platelet aggregation induced by treatment with collagen ($IC_{50}$, $3.9\;{\mu}M$) and arachidonic acid (AA) ($IC_{50}$, $27.1\;{\mu}M$), and estragole inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation ($IC_{50}$, $4.7\;{\mu}M$). By way of comparison, (+)-fenchone and estragole proved to be significantly more potent than aspirin at inhibiting platelet aggregation induced by collagen. The inhibitory activity of (+)-fenchone toward platelet aggregation induced by AA was 1.3 times stronger than that of aspirin. These results indicate that (+)- fenchone and estragole may be useful as lead compounds for inhibiting platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid and collagen.

Eucommia ulmoides bark extracts by cold water, boiling water, 100% EtOH, 70% EtOH, 100% MeOH, 70% MeOH and $CHCl_3$ were assayed for their medicinal effects. The antioxidant activity of the extracts ranged from $IC_{50}$ 125.2 to $IC_{50}\;872.7{\mu}g/ml$ in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DDPH) free radical-scavenging assay, and cold water extracts had the highest antioxidant activity. $CHCl_3$ extracts had the highest inhibitory effect on angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) giving inhibition of up to 56.4% at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Extracts in 100% EtOH had the greatest inhibitory effect on $\acute{a}-amylase$ activity ($IC_{50}=174.6{\mu}g/ml$), and 70% MeOH extracts had the greatest inhibitory effect on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity ($IC_{50}=14.0{\mu}g/ml$). Taken together, these results provided the in vitro evidence on the ACE, amylase and glucosidase inhibitory actions of E. ulmoides bark that form the pharmacological basis for its antihypertensive and antidiabetic action.

In ordedr to gain insight into the mechanisms byl which erythropoietin promotes erythropoiesis, effects of various inhibitors on the erythropoietin-propmoted differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells and on the erythroid progenitor cells and on the erythropoietin-promoted $Ca^{++}$ uptake in the progenitor cells were determined, and the relationship between the inhibitory activity of each inhibitor cells were determined, and he relationship between the inhibitory activity of each inhibitor toward the differentiation and channel blocker (varapamil), a $Ca^{++}$ chelator (EDTA) and a protein kinase C inhibitor (stauroporine). All of these agents inhibited both the erythropoietin-mediated differentiation of the erythroid progenitor cells, as determined by the incroporation of $^{59}Fe$ into heme, and $Ca^{++}$ uptake in a concentrtion dependent manner. In the cases of varapamil and EDTA, the half-miximal inhibitory concentration $(IC_{50})$ values for differentiation of the progenitor cells may be theconsequence of the inhibition of the $Ca^{++}$ uptake in a concentration dependent manner. In the cases of varapamil and EDTA, the half-miximal inhibitory concentration dependent manner. In the cases of verapamil and EDTA, the half-miximal inhibitory concentration $(IC_{50})$ values for differentiation of the progenitor cells may be the consequence of the inhibition of the $Ca^{++}$ uptake by the inhibitor. On the other hand, in the cases of genistein and stauroporine, the $IC_{50}$ values for inhibition of differentitation were significantly different from that for inhibition of $Ca^{++}$uptake. These results suggest that the mechanism of inhibition of differentiation by these two inhibitors in complex. However, taken all together, the above results support the proposition that $Ca^{++}$ uptake may play a role in the erythropoietin-mediated differentiation of erythoid progenitor cells.

We investigated the tyrosinase inhibitory effect using whitening materials such as arbutin, ethyl ascorbyl ether, glabridin, kojic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbic acid. Tyrosinase inhibition rate were determined varying the enzyme concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature and pH. The optimal conditions to measure the inhibitory efficacy were as follows. : enzyme concentration 1,500 or 2,000IU/mL, reaction time 15min(for the enzyme concentration 1,500 IU/mL) and l0min(for the enzyme concentration 2,000IU/mL), reation temperature 42$^{\circ}C$, pH 6.5. Under these conditions $IC_{50}$/ of arbutin, ethyl ascorbyl ether, glabridin, kojic acid, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbic acid were calculated. In the case of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, the inhibitory effect of tyrosinase was very low and the $IC_{50}$/ of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate could not be calculated. Other five materials showed good inhibitory effect of tyrosinase and can be used for the whitening materials.
