Leguminosae plants are known for its phytoestrogen constituents which play a major role in the prevention of osteoporosis, cancer and heart disease. In this study, the estrogenic activity of 158 samples from 58 species, 3 subspecies and 10 varieties of Leguminosae plants growing in Korea was evaluated. An estrogen, 17β-estradiol was used as a reference compound, and the potency of each sample was expressed in relative efficacy (%) compared to that of the reference by a reporter gene assay using MCF-7 cells. As results, the estrogenic activity of methanolic extracts of Phaseolus vulgaris var. humilis, Sophora flavescens, Lespedeza × robusta, Indigofera pseudotinctoria, Maackia amurensis, Glycine soja, Wisteria floribunda, Robinia pseudoacacia, Astragalus sinicus, Pueraria lobata, Lespedeza maximowiczii var. tomentella, Trifolium repens and Crotalaria sessiliflora showed similar to or higher at 100 ㎍/ml than the positive control at 10 nM. These findings can be a potential evidence for developing estrogen alternatives resolving various types of menopause symptoms with information on proper harvest season and usage plant part. To the best of our knowledge, the estrogenic activity of Lespedeza × robusta, Indigofera pseudotinctoria, Wisteria floribunda, Robinia pseudoacacia and Lespedeza maximowiczii var. tomentella is reported for the first time in this study.

본 실험에서는 국내에 자생하는 콩과에 속하는 6종의 싸리속 식물의 각 부위별 추출물로부터 총 폴리페놀, 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정하였고, DPPH, ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 조사하였다. 폴리페놀성 화합물은 고양싸리의 잎(LR-L)에 가장 많이 포함되어 있는 것으로 조사되었고, 플라보노이드 화합물은 풀싸리의 지상부(LTi-A)에서 가장 많이 검출되었다. 이들 시료의 항산화 활성을 조사하기 위해서 DPPH와 ABTS 라디칼에 대한 소거 활성을 조사해 본 결과 DPPH 라디칼에 대해서는 비타민 C보다 소거 활성이 적은 것으로 나타났지만, ABTS 라디칼에 대해서는 비타민 C보다 더 좋은 소거 활성을 보였다. 이들 활성과 폴리페놀, 플라보노이드 화합물간의 상관관계에서는 폴리페놀만이 양의 상관관계를 보여 폴리페놀의 농도에 따라 라디칼 소거 활성이 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 하지만 플라보노이드 화합물과 라디칼 소거 활성 간에는 뚜렷한 상관관계를 볼 수 없어, 싸리속 식물에서는 플라보노이드 화합물보다는 폴리페놀성화합물이 항산화에 더욱 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 최근 각광을 받고 있는 천연 항산화제의 개발에 있어 싸리속 식물이 천연 항산화제로서 좋은 소재가 될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

조록싸리(Lespedeza maximowiczii) 내에 많은 종내분류군들 및 근연분류군과의 잡종들이 기록되었지만, 이들의 분류학적 실체에 대해서는 학자들간에 이견이 있다. 본 연구는 조록싸리와 근연분류군간 잡종인 지리산싸리(L. chiisanensis), 진도싸리(L. patentibicolor) 및 조록싸리의 종내분류군인 털조록싸리(var. tomentella), 늦싸리(var. elongata), 삼색싸리(var. tricolor)의 실체를 규명하기 위해, 외부형태를 관찰하고 microsatellite를 이용하여 유전적 구조를 분석하였다. 연구 결과 털조록싸리와 늦싸리의 꽃과 잎의 형태는 조록싸리의 변이폭에 속했고, 유전적으로도 두 분류군이 조록싸리와 같이 묶였다. 삼색싸리는 꽃의 구조와 색에서 근연종인 L. buergeri와 유사한 반면 소엽 정단부와 소포엽의 형태는 조록싸리와 가까웠다. 유전적 구조에서도 삼색싸리의 개체들은 조록싸리와 L. buergeri의 계통이 혼합된 형태를 보이거나(K = 3), 독립되었다(K = 5). 잡종들의 경우, 지리산싸리의 꽃과 잎의 형태는 조록싸리와 구별되지 않는 반면, 진도싸리의 꽃 형질은 싸리(L. bicolor)의 변이폭에 속했는데, 유전적 계통도 각각 조록싸리와 싸리로 지정되었다. 본 연구결과를 종합하여 저자들은 털조록싸리와 늦싸리를 조록싸리의 품종, f. friebeana (Schindl.) D. P. Jin, J. W. Park & B. H. Choi로 처리하였는데, 이는 L. friebeana가 var. tomentella 보다 먼저 발표되었기 때문이다. 또한 삼색싸리는 독립종, L. tricolor (Nakai) D. P. Jin, J. W. Park & B. H. Choi 로 처리하였고, 지리산싸리는 조록싸리의 이명으로 처리하였다. 한편 진도싸리는 싸리의 이명으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 야관문의 열수 및 ethanol추출조건에 따른 항산화활성의 변화를 비교평가 하고자 하였다. 야관문에 존재하는 항산화물질은 용매분획 과정 중에서 열수추출조건에 비해 ethanol 추출조건에서 항산화 성분이 잘 이행되었고, 열수추출조건에서는 상대적으로 활성이 낮게 나타났다. Silica gel adsorption column chromatography 상의 chloroform-methanol의 용매계에서 각 획분에 대해 DPPH-radical scavenging 효과를 측정한 결과, 열수 추출한 경우는 methanol함량이 50% 부근을 중심으로 활성이 나타났다. 반면 ethanol 추출한 경우는 methanol함량이 50-60% 부근을 중심으로 활성이 나타나, 열수 추출물과 ethanol 추출물의 항산화활성 물질의 성질은 약간의 차이를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. Sephadex LH-20의 gel filtration으로 분획한 결과 두가지 처리조건 모두 bed volumn에 대한 elution volumn의 비(Ve/Vt)가 1.25-1.52의 용출범위(1.1-2.2 g)에 활성이 인정되었다. 열수추출 및 ethanol 추출 조건의 경우 항산화 활성물질의 HPLC retention time은 각각 7.25분 그리고 7.41분으로 나타났지만 두 peak의 HPLC상의 거동이 일치하여 동일한 성분일 것으로 추정하였다.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of 50% ethylalcohol extracts of Lespedeza cuneata G. Don (LE) on the activity of murine immune cells. LE was administered orally once a day for 7 days at the dose of 250 mg/kg. LE increased the cell viability of thymocytes, splenocytes and peritoneal macrophages in vitro and in vivo system, but decreased the cell viability of thymocytes and splenocytes in the presence of concanavalin A in vivo system. Also, the administration of LE was increased the production of ${\gamma}$-interferone, but did not affect the production of interleukin-2 and interleukin-4. Furthermore, LE decreased the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages in vitro and in vivo system, but enhanced the production of nitric oxide. These results suggest that LE has a immuno-regulative action via stimulation of immune cells proliferation.

This study was carried out to select proper species for early stage replantation in highway cut-slope area. In highway cut-slope area, sample plots of 106 were selected, and their vegetations and environmental factors were investigated. 1. We found total 172 species in the 106 cutting area of highway. The species of high frequency of highway cut-slope were found in the order of Lespedeza bicolor, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Festuca arundinacea, Erigeron annuus, Lespedeza cuneata, Lactuca indica var. laciniata, Eragrostis curvula, Dactylis glomerata, Oenothera lamarckiana, Wistaria floribunda, Humulus japonica, Commelina communis, Miscanthus sinensis, Pueraria thunbergiana, Pinus densiflora, etc. 2. The average vegetation coverage was over 90% in the study sites and the average coverage was 91.4% in the total cut-slope area. The species of high coverage of highway cut-slope area were found in the order of Festuca arundinacea, Eragrostis curvula, Lespedeza bicolor, Wistaria floribunda, Lespedeza cuneata, Dactylis glomerata, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Humulus japonica, Pueraria thunbergiana, Robinia pseudoacacia, Poa pratensis, Medicago sativa, Festuca ovina, Pinus densiflora, Parthenocissua tricuspidata, etc. 3. The total coverage in the foreign plants of Festuca arundinacea, Eragrostis curvula, Dactylis glomerata, Poa pratensis, Medicago sativa, Coreopsis drummondii and native plants of Lespedeza bicolor, Wistaria floribunda, Lespedeza cuneata, Amorpha fruticosa, Indigofera pseudotinctoria, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya were 57.52%. That is, the ecological succession of native herbs and parachute shrubs have delayed because the afforested plants occupy 57.52%. In future, the coverage of foreign herbs have to reduce, and the coverage of the native herbs and parachute shrubs must be increased. 4. The native seed of Artemisia sp., Miscanthus sinensis, Smilax china, Pueraria thunbergiana, Rubus crataegifolius, Rubus parvifolius, Pinus densiflora, Rhus chinensis, Albizzia julibrissin, Rhododendron mucronulatum, Clematis apiifolia, Zanthoxylum schinifolium, Prunus sargentii could be added in the seedling of the temperate south zone highway with the used seeds. The native seed of Artemisia sp., Miscanthus sinensis, Rubus crataegifolius, Rhododendron mucronulatum, Weigela subsessilis, Stephanandra incisa, Rhus chinensis, Pinus densiflora, Salix koreensis, Cocculus trilobus, Populus alba, Spiraea prunifolia for. simpliciflora, Clematis apiifolia, Lindera obtusiloba, Quercus serrata, etc., could be added in the seedling of the temperate middle zone highway with the used seeds. 5. We have some recommendation. The native plants have to growth in the highway cut-slope area instead of foreign plants to have good environmental ecology. The role of the foreign plants should be the plant for the initial several years in the highway cut-slope area. And, the native plants should growth in the next season. 6. We should protect shrubs and trees in the highway slope area because shrubs and trees can be more helpful in stabilizing of the slope area than herbs.

Isovitexin, a marker compound with various pharmacological activities, in Lespedeza cuneata, was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with UV (HPLC/UV). There are no previous reports on using L. cuneata as the source material for the quantification of isovitexin. In this study, we developed an optimized method using HPLC-UV analysis, which was validated using various parameters. Our method demonstrated high specificity, and good separation of the chromatographic peak was achieved. Parameters such as linearity (r2≥0.9997), precision, and accuracy indicated that our proposed analytical method had good reliability and sensitivity. These results demonstrate the utility and convenience of our method for rapidly quantifying isovitexin in L. cuneata extracts.

To investigate the attributes of seed germination of the plants for greening of river bank slope, low-temperature treatment, chemical treatment, plant hormones treatment, and stratification were conducted using the seeds of 6 herbs growing naturally around river banks, such as Setaria glauca and faberii, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii, Miscanthus sinensis, Pennisetum alopecuroides, Lespedeza cuneata and the seeds of 3 shrubs, such as Lespedeza bicolor., Rosa multiflora, Spiraea prunifolia for. simpliciflora. The findings are as follows. In case of herbs, Setaria glauca and faberii. have stone seeds. In the treatment with $H_2SO_4$, they were germinated through dormancy breaking, even though there were some differences depending on immersion time, and the germination rate of Setaria faberii was a bit higher than that of Setaria glauca. The germination rate of Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii was low in the treatment with $GA_3$, NAA, and the plant hormone, but the seed germination rate has improved and the germination rate of Miscanthus sinensis and Pennisetum alopecuroides showed the improved seed germination rate in low temperature treatment. In case of Lespedeza cuneata and bicolor, the leguminous plants, the treatment with $H_2SO_4$ was most effective for the improvement of seed germination and the decrease in germination time. Only Spiraea prunifolia for. simpliciflora, the rose among 3 woody plants showed the seed germination rate above 50% without any additional treatment. Thus, it was thought to be appropriate for greening. Rosa multiflora showed the attribute of germination in a dark condition at low temperature through stratification, despite its low germination rate. Based on the results as above, with respect to the greening using directly collected seeds, Miscanthus sinensis, Pennisetum alopecuroides, and Spiraea prunifolia for. simpliciflora are suitable for greening, because they do not need any additional treatment, and Lespedeza cuneata and bicolor are also suitable for greening because it is possible to improve the germination rate and reduce the germination time through the treatment on the seeds before sowing.
