  • 녹색종피와 자엽을 가진 녹색콩 품종 및 유전자원의 종실에는 눈 건강에 유익한 것으로 알려진 lutein 성분이 많이 함유되어져 있다. 그러나, 리폭시게나제, 쿠니츠 트립신 억제제(KTI), 렉틴 및 스타키오스와 같은 항영양 성분이 존재한다. 콩 식품 제조시 이러한 항영양 성분을 불활성화 시키기 위하여 고온 및 첨가제 처리가 필요하다. 따라서, 성숙 종실의 종피 및 자엽이 녹색이며 리폭시게나제, KTI 및 렉틴의 3가지 단백질이 모두 부재하면서 스타키오스의 함량이 매우 낮은 tetra null 유전자형(lox1lox2lox3tilers2)을 가진 계통을 선발하기 위하여 본 연구가 진행되었다. 다섯가지 유전자형을 이용한 육종집단으로부터 녹색종피 및 자엽을 가지면서 lectin 단백질이 없는 triple null 유전자형(lox1lox2lox3tile)을 가진 21개의 F2 종자가 선발되었다. DNA 마커를 이용하여 rs2rs2 유전자형을 가져 tetra null 유전자형인 4개의 F2식물체가 선발되었으며 종자 형질이 양호한 한 개의 계통이 선발되었다. 선발계통의 F6 종자에서 리폭시게나제, KTI 및 렉틴 단백질의 부재가 확인되었다. 선발계통은 녹색종피, 녹색자엽 및 흰색배꼽을 가지고 있으며 백립중은 30.7 g 스타키오스의 함량은 2.40 g/kg으로 매우 낮았다. 선발계통은 리폭시게나제, KTI 및 렉틴의 3가지 단백질이 모두 없으며, 스타키오스의 함량이 낮은 유색콩 품종 개량을 위한 모본으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • To establish the anti-inflammatory activity of the total flavonoid fraction of the root barks of Broussonetia papyrifera (EBP) and a new formula, the ethanol extract of the root barks of B. papyrifera was fractionated with ethylacetate, yielding the hydrophobic prenylated flavonoid-enriched fraction. EBP and the ethanol extract of the whole Lonicera japonica (ELJ) plant were then mixed at a ratio of 1:1 (w/w) to give a new preparation (BL) in the hope of obtaining an optimal formula with a higher anti-inflammatory activity. Evaluation of the effects of these preparations on A23187-treated rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells revealed that EBP potently inhibited 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), while ELJ showed weak inhibition. Additionally, the mixture (BL) clearly showed stronger inhibitory effects against 5-LOX than either preparation alone. These preparations also inhibited cyclooxygenase-2-catalyzed $PGE_2$ and inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase-catalyzed NO production by lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 cells. When tested against arachidonic acid-induced mouse ear edema, EBP showed strong inhibitory activity at doses of 5-200 mg/kg when administered orally, but BL had obviously stronger inhibitory effects. When tested against ${\lambda}$-carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice, BL showed a potent and synergistic anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, in the acetic acid-induced writhing test, BL was found to have strong analgesic activity at 50-400 mg/kg. Taken together, these results indicate that each of these preparations exert anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. In particular, BL showed stronger anti-inflammatory activity than EBP, and these anti-inflammatory effects were partially related to the inhibition of eicosanoid and NO production. BL may be useful for the treatment of human inflammatory disorders.

  • 털없는 쥐표피를 적출하여 ultraviolet B로서 조사한 후 녹차의 열수 추출물이 표피의 효소의 활성에 대한 항산화 효과를 조사하였다. 녹차의 열수추출물을 5, 25, 50 및 $100\;{\mu}g$으로 쥐표피에 첨가한 후 ultraviolet B을 $1.0\;joule/cm^{2}$로 조사한 후 효소활성을 조사한 결과 catalase와 glutathione reductase는 녹차의 열수 추출물의 첨가용량이 증가할수록 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 glutathione peroxidase와 superoxide dismutase는 영향을 받지 않았다. 한편 lipoxygenase의 활성을 알아보기 위하여 arachidonic acid에 $50\;{\mu}g$ 녹차의 열수 추출물을 첨가하여 대사를 검토한 결과 대사산물 12 또는 15-hydroxyeicosa- tetraenoic acid보다 5-HETE 및 8-HETE가 억제되었다. 녹차의 열수 추출물을 5, 25, 50 및 $100\;{\mu}g$ 첨가하였을 때 5-HETE는 각각 32, 52, 62 및 80% 억 제되었고 8-HETE는 각각 36, 47, 70 및 84%로 억제됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • Arachidonic acid(AA), which is stored in membrane glycerophospholipids, is liberated by phospholipase $A_2(PLA_2)$ enzymes and is sequentially converted to cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) then to various bioactive prostaglandins (PGs,) and leukotrienes (LTs). In order to find the specific inhibitors of AA metabolism enzymes such as $PLA_2$, COX-2, 5-LO and lyso PAF acetyltransferase. 195 Korean indigenous plant extracts were evaluated for their inhibitory activity on $PGD_2,\;LTC_4$ production from cytokine-induced mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) and arachidonic acid released from phospholipid and PAF production from lyso PAF. From this screening procedure, methanol extract of eight plants such as Saururus chinensis, Aster tataricus, Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, Reynoutria japonica, Disocorea nipponica, Epimedium koreanum, impatiens textori, Veronica rotunda var. subintegra were found to inhibit production of inflammatory mediators in vitro assay system.

  • The aim of the presents study is to investigate and compare the antioxidative effects and qualities of the cultivating root of Cynanchum Wilfori, which is increasingly used in recent days, with those of the wilding root, which has mainly been used in the past in oriental medicine for a tonic and also for prevention and treatment of various geriatric diseases including aging progress. For comparison of their antioxidative effects, the activities of the total extracts on lipid peroxidation and the activity of aldehyde oxidase(EC 1.2.3.1) as well as xanthine oxidase(EC 1.2.3.2) were investigated in vitro. In addition, their inhibitory effects on the activity of 5-lipoxygenase, which is known to induce inflammation and concerned with free radicals, were also determined in vitro. Furthermore, the amino acid contents of both roots were analyzed in order to compare their qualities. The results are as follows: 1. The wilding root inhibited significantly the activity of 5-lipoxygenase, showing five times more portent than the cultivating root. 2. Both of the wilding root and the cultivating root inhibited aldehyde oxidase activity in a dose-dependant manner. The wilding root was more effective than the other. 3. Both of the wilding root and the cultivating root dose-dependently suppressed lipid peroxidation in rat brain, kidney, and liver. 4. The anti-peroxidative effects of both roots appeared to be most strong in brain and least in liver. In particular, the cultivating root exhibited a significant inhibition on brain lipid peroxidation. 5. The cultivating root contained 15 amino acids including five essential amino acids in contrast with the less contents in the wilding root.

  • This study was carried out to find whether phenidone (1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone), a cyclooxygenase as well as a lipoxygenase inhibitor, exhibits the preventive effect on carbon tetrachloride $(CCl_{4})-induced$ acute liver injury in rats. Rats were pretreated with phenidone at a dose of 50 or 200 mg/kg (p.o.) once daily for 3 consecutive days before $CCl_{4}$ administration. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured. Malondialdehyde (MDA) production was determined as an index of lipid peroxidation in the liver and serum. The histopathological changes in the liver were also examined in each group. The reduction in body weights was significantly inhibited in the phenidone-treated group than in the $CCl_{4}$ control group. Significant increase in the relative liver weights of the phenidone-treated groups was observed compared with either the vehicle or $CCl_{4}$ groups. Elevation of serum AST and ALT activities occurred after $CCl_{4}$ treatment was significantly attenuated by the pretreatment with phenidone. The elevation of MDA levels in liver and serum were completely inhibited in phenidone-treated groups. The protective effects on phenidone-treated groups were confirmed histopathologically. These results suggest that phenidone may be a useful protector through modulation of hepatic inflammation in $(CCl_{4})-induced$ acute liver injury.
