In order to investigate the immunomodulational effects of Lonicerae Caulis et Folium, the author measured cytokines production(IL-10, IL-12(P35), IL12(P40), $IFN-{\gamma}$) in mice splenocytes. The results were obtained as follows : 1. The water extract of Lonicerae Caulis et Folium significantly enhanced the gene expression of IL-12(P35), IL-12(P40), but reduced the gene expression of IL-10, $IFN-{\gamma}$. 2. In water fraction and ethyl acetate fraction, the gene expression of IL-12(P35), $IFN-{\gamma}$ was significantly increased and that of IL-12(P40), IL-10 was decreased. The above results demonstrate that Lonicerae Caulis et Folium has enhancing immune activity by upregulation of these cytokines. Therefore, if we make the relationship between these cytokines(IL-10, IL-12, $IFN-{\gamma}$) besides IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-8, $TGF-{\beta}$ and so on which concerned the immunopotentiation, the immunopotentiational mechanism of Lonicerae Caulis et Folium will be shown clearly.

Lonicerae Folium et Caulis, the folium and stem of Lonicera japonica Thunb., has been used as diuretic, stomachic, antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent in Korea. We isolated a main iridoid, loganin which has some important biological effects from the folium and stem of this plant. Generally, it is known that iridoid compounds have variable contents by the collecting time and a part of plant. The content of main compound is important to evaluate its quality. In order to evaluate the quality of Lonicerae Folium et Caulis, the method of quantitative determination of loganin as a reference standard compound has been developed. (omitted)

HAE-06 extract is a mixture of four medicinal plants, namely Lonicerae Folium et Caulis (Lonicera japonica), Scutellariae Radix (Scutellaria baicalensis), Adenophorae Radix (Adenophora triphylla var. japonica), and Polygonati Oddorati Rhizoma (Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum). The HAE-06 extract demonstrated a concentration-dependent relaxing effect and enhanced cAMP production in bronchial smooth muscle that had been stimulated to contract with acetylcholine. Using a blocker, it was confirmed that the effect was through the β2-adrenergic receptor/cAMP/PKA pathway. In addition, it is thought that the HAE-06 extract has a bronchial smooth muscle relaxation effect by reducing the inflow of Ca²⁺ through the K⁺ and Ca²⁺ channels present in the sarcoplasmic membrane. If research continues in the future, it is believed that it will be possible to use it as a material for pharmaceuticals and functional foods.

HAE series (HAE 01 - 06), are the mixtures of medicinal plants; Lonicerae Folium et Caulis (Lonicera japonica), Scutellariae Radix (Scutellaria baicalensis), Adenophorae Radix (Adenophora triphylla var. japonica), Polygonati Oddorati Rhizoma (Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum), Platycodi Radix (Platycodon grandiflorum), Liriopis seu Ophiopogonis Tuber (Liriope platyphylla). HAE 06 showed the significant antitussive effect in HAE series. HAE 04, 05, and 06 increased the effect of expectorant measured by secretion of phenol red in rats. All tested HAE series were observed to have the anti-oxidant activity determined by the scavenging activity. HAE 01, 03 and 06 were significantly reduced the production of nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) increased by LPS. HAE 06 was selected based on the results and done further experiments. HAE 06 inhibited the number of coughing induced by citric acid in dose dependent manner. HAE 06 effectively increased the effect of expectorant. HAE 06 exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of NO and TNF-${\alpha}$. In addition, HAE 06 significantly suppressed inducible Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Especially HAE 06 has the highest effect in alleviating the respiratory symptoms. Moreover, the enhancement antioxidant activity and reduction inflammation partly were attributed to it. HAE 06 may become the promising candidate for the treatment of respiratory symptom in the future.

국내에 유통되고 있는 국산과 수입산 한약재 11종 116건을 대상으로 잔류이산화황에 대한 모니터링을 수행한 결과 108건(93.1%)은 불검출이었고 6건(5.2%)는 이산화황 허용기준치 30 mg/kg을 초과하였고 2건은 30 mg/kg 미만으로 검출되었다. 116건의 이산화황 평균함량은 $17.6{\pm}144.2mg/kg$이고 최대 검출량은 구기자(1,546.3 mg/kg)이었고 중국산 현호색(66.6%)의 이산화황 검출 빈도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 국내산 한약재는 71건 중 1건(1.4%), 수입산 한약재는 45건 중 7건(15.6%)에서 이산화황이 검출되었고 국내산 1건(36.7 mg/kg)과 수입산 5건(118.1 mg/kg)이 허용기준치를 초과하여 국내산보다 수입산 한약재에 이산화황 잔류량이 많았다. 본 연구를 통해 이산화황 허용기준을 초과하는 부적합율은 다소 낮아지고 있지만 이산화황 허용기준을 초과하는 한약재들 중 일부 한약재에서는 잔류이산화황 함량이 높게 나타났고, 특히 국내산 약재에 비해 수입산 약재는 부적합율이 높게 나왔다. 한약재는 일반적으로 수세 및 가열과정을 거치므로 실제 섭취하는 형태의 탕액에서는 원재료보다 이산화황의 잔류량이 크게 감소하지만 완전히 제거되지는 않으므로 유통되는 한약재의 안전성 확립이 절실히 요구되어진다. 강화된 기준이 정착하여 안전한 한약재가 유통될 수 있도록 수입통관시 특별관리가 요구되며, 보다 적극적인 검사 요주의 품목에 대한 지속적인 잔류이산화황 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
