Objectives : Because Ligusticum sinense Root as well as those of Angelica tenuissima Root are sole as Gobon(藁本) in domestic markets, morphological characteristics of them are attempted to be distinguished. Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. Angelica tenuissima Root has considerable number of thick roots, but Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root are composed of rhizomes mostly with small roots. 2. Intersection of rhizomes of Angelica tenuissima Root shows a 'V'-like arrangement of xylem vessel. 3. Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root did not show the 'V'-like arrangement, and sliced fiber bundles were found in xylem. 4. There was no difference between Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root and Ligusticum jeholense Root. Conclusions : In conclusion, Angelica tenuissima Root, Chinese Ligusticum sinense Root, and Ligusticum jeholense Root show characteristic differences in internal forms, so that it is possible to distinguish them with optical microscope.

Objectives : To compare the anti-oxidant effects of Ligusticum chuanxiang and Cnidium officinale extracts and their mixture with Angelica gigas, we investigated the anti-oxidative activities using rat liver tissues. Methods : We investigated the anti-oxidative activities by analysis of lipid peroxidation, xanthine oxidase activity, aldehyde oxidase activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase activity and catalase activity in rat liver tissues. Results : Both Ligusticum chuanxing and Cnidium offieinale inhibited the lipid peroxidation compared to the control, there is no significant differences between two groups. Cnidium officinale showed strong inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase activities compared with that of Ligusticum chuanxing. Ligusticum chuanxing and Cnidium officinale were scavenged the hydroxy radicals, and increased SOD and catalase activities. These results suggested that Ligusticum chuanxing and Cnidium officinale were showed antioxidant activity, especially Cnidium officinale showed higher activity than Ligusticum chuanxing. Conclusions: These results suggest that Ligusticum chuanxing could be replaced by Cmdium afficinale in clinical trial.

Ligusticum tenuissimum belongs to Umbelliferae, and its root is generally used in headache, common cold and arthralgia L. We have extracted and isolated butylidene phthal ide, 3-butylidene-4,5-dihydrophthalide of phthalide group and l-limonene, etc. of terpenoid group from the root by ordinary method. In Ligusticum sinense, L. jeholense, L. tenuissimum, L. jeholense var. tenuisectum, and L. officinale etc., the components of cnidilide, ligustilide of phthalide group are common features and specific constituents in genus Ligusticum. Therefore comparing that there is no phthalide group in genus Angelica, we think it is able to classify the difference of genus between Ligusticum and Angelica of Umbelliferae in chemotaxonomy.

천궁은 동양 전통 의학에서 사용되고 있는 식물로 항진통, 부인과 질환, 항산화활성, 뇌질환에 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 한국 전통발효식품인 김치에서 분리된 Lactobacillus plantarum BHN-LAB 129를 이용해 발효한 천궁 추출물의 항산화 효과를 조사하였다. 발효하지 않은 천궁 추출물에 비해 L. plantarum BHN-LAB 129 발효 천궁 추출물에서 총 폴리페놀 함량은 약 161.2%, 총 플라보노이드 함량은 약 281.0% 증가된 것을 확인하였다. 또한, SOD 유사활성능, ABTS radical 소거활성능, DPPH radical 소거 활성능, 환원력은 각각 약 139.9%, 199.6%, 301.0% 및 137.1% 증가된 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과를 통해 L. plantarum BHN-LAB 129을 이용한 생물전환을 통한 천궁 발효 추출물의 항산화능 증대에 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 생물전환기술은 생리활성을 증대시키기 위한 매우 유용한 기술임을 확인하였으며, 생물전환기법을 통한 기능성 식품소재 및 화장품 소재 개발 및 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

최근 수입자유화 이후 중국산 한약재의 수입이 증가하면서 수입산과 국산의 명확한 판별이 요구되고 있는 가운데 수입이 급증한 품목 중 하나인 천궁을 선택, CE를 이용한 분석조건을 확립하고 원산지판별에의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 분석을 위한 지표물질의 추출에는 30% ethanol 을 사용하였고, $50\;{\mu}m\;I.D.{\times}27\;cm$ 길이의 uncoated fused-silica capillary를 이용하여 $40^{\circ}C$, 10 kV로 200 nm에서 분석하였다. 0.1 M phosphate buffer(pH 2.5)에 40% methanol과 15 mM IDA를 첨가하여 분석 buffer로 사용하였고, 국산시료는 5초, 수입산은 2초 동안 pressure injection하였다. 분석 시 시료 injection 전에 증류수로 4분간 흘려주고 분석 buffer로 10분간 평형화시켰으며 분석이 끝난 후 0.1M phosphoric acid와 1N sodium hydroxide를 각각 4분씩 흘려 분석의 재현성을 높이고자 하였다. 이상의 조건으로 시중에 유통되는 국내산(62점)과 수입산(51점) 천궁을 분석한 결과 전체 peak에 대한 구성비율이 서로 차이를 나타내는 peak LW-1과 peak LW-5(용출시간 약 11분, 14분)를 원산지 판별에 적용할 수 있는 peak로 도출하였으며, 이 peak를 이용한 국산 및 수입산 천궁의 원산지 판별율은 국산이 약 65%(총 62점 중 40점을 바르게 판별), 수입산은 약 63%(총 51점 중 32점을 바르게 판별)로 나타났다.

The present study aimed to assess the antifungal properties of the essential oil fraction from Ligusticum chuanxiong (Umbelliferae) and its components against five clinically important Aspergillus species. The essential oil fraction was extracted from the underground parts of the plant by steam distillation, and its main components, namely, Z-ligustilide, butylidene phthalide, and p-cresol were isolated by column chromatography. The antifungal activities of the essential oils were evaluated by the broth dilution method. Both the total essential oil fraction of L. chuanxiong and its components showed significant anti-Aspergillus activity against all five tested strains with MICs between 62.5 and 250 ${\mu}g$/ml, respectively. In a checkerboard microtiter assay, the combination of antibiotics, itraconazole with the essential oil fraction of L. chuanxiong or its main components exhibited synergistic or additive, and in some cases indifferent, effects against the tested Aspergillus species, resulting in FICIs (fractional inhibiting concentration indices) ranging from 0.12 to 2, while the combination of antibiotics, amphothericin B with L. chuanxiong essential oils mostly showed antagonistic effects.

Ligusticum Chuanxiong and its components were reviewed in terms of pharmacodynamic mechanisms. Three components of about 40 chemical components in Chuanxiong tetramethylpyrazine, ferulinolol and Butylidenephthalide have mainly been studied for its pharmacodynamic mechanisms which are focused on the increase in blood flow and anti-oxidative stress. The mechanisms for the effects of Chuanxiong on the increase in blood flow can be summarized as four ways, 1) anti-coagulation 2) blocker of ${\beta}1$ adrenergic receptor 3) cellular control of Ca++ level 4) collagen synthesis. Chuanxiong also showed the effectiveness on free radical-induced injury. It seems that its effectiveness is also related to the mechanisms for the increase in blood flow.
