Honokiol and magnolol, the major bioactive neolignans of magnolia officinalis, are the most important constituents of the crude drug prescriptions that are used in the therapy of neuroses and various nervous disorders. There have been limited reports on the effects of neolignoid compounds on human cytochrome P450 activity. Therefore, the inhibitory effects of honokiol and magnolol on seven human cytochrome P450 s were evaluated in human liver microsomes. Honokiol and magnolol showed the most potent inhibition of CYP1A2-mediated phenacetin O-deethylase activity ($IC_{50}$ values of 3.5 and 5.4 mM, respectively) among the seven P450s tested. These in vitro data indicate that neolignan compounds can inhibit the activity of CYP1A2 and suggest that these compounds should be examined for potential pharmacokinetic drug interactions in vivo.

Melilotus dentatus (Waldst. & Kit.) Desf. is an invasive plant native to Europe, Russia, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and China. It was introduced to North America to create grazing areas for livestock; its growth has since become uncontrollable. Melilotus dentatus is now found in Namyang-eup, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea as an alien plant. This species is morphologically similar to Melilotus suaveolens Ledeb. and Melilotus officinalis (L.) Lam. M. dentatus differs from other species based on its oblong leaflets, distinct teeth, two ovules, surface of the legume that is minutely reticulate-nerved or smooth, and seeds that are dark green to greenish brown. Here, we have provided a detailed description and photographs of the alien species M. dentatus as well as an updated key to five Melilotus taxa studied, which will help prepare a continuous monitoring and management plan.

본 연구에서 92종의 한약재로부터 물과 ethanol을 용매추출물에 대하여 HAase의 저해에 의한 항염증 효과를 측정한 결과 물 추출물에서는 E. officinalis(86.8%), T. orientalis(80.8%), C. semen(66.5%), M. azedarach(74.7%), S. pubescen (61.3%), S. chinensis(49.15%) 등이 높게 나타났다. Ethanol 추출물에서는 A. altissima와 S. chinensis 추출물이 90% 이상의 높은 항염증 활성을 나타내었다. 이들 중 물과 에탄올 추출물에서 모두 항염증 활성이 높게 측정된 S. chinensis가 선발되었다. 선별된 삼백초의 유효성분을 보다 효율적으로 추출할 방안을 확립하기 위하여 인체에 유해하지 않은 용매로 물과 ethanol을 선택하여 추출 최적조건을 살펴보았다. Phenolic 성분의 추출을 위한 최적조건은 50% ethanol을 사용하여 12시간 추출이 최적이었다. Phenolic 성분의 추출을 위해서는 ethanol이 물보다 더 효율적이었다. 최적조건에서 추출된 삼백초 추출물의 염증억제 활성은 $100{\sim}250{\mu}g/mL$ phenolic 농도로 첨가했을 때 70~80%의 염증 억제 효과를 나타내었으나, $500{\mu}g/mL$ 이상의 농도로 첨가 시 오히려 염증 억제활성이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 삼백초를 초미세 분쇄 하였을 때 추출 수율과 염증억제 활성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 초미세 분쇄 기술은 한약재로부터 생리활성물질 추출수율의 증가를 목적으로 적용할 수 있는 기술로 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 건조된 rosemary잎을 물과 60% 에탄올로 추출하여 H. pylori항균활성과 항산화 및 기타 생리활성 효과를 알아보았다. Rosemary 추출물의 총 페놀 함량은 열수추출물에서 24.3mg/g였으며 알코올 추출물에서는 25.7mg/g으로 알코올추출물에 더 높은 페놀함량을 나타내었다. H. pylori에 대한 항균활성은 고체 배지상에서 $200{\mu}g/mL$의 페놀함량을 첨가했을 때 저해환의 직경은 물 추출물에서 11mm, 알코올 추출물에서 14mm로 나타났으며 액체 배지상에서는 각각 20.9, 78.2%의 저해율로 나타났다. 항산화활성은 물추출물과 60% 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 전자공여능이 89.1, 62.0%, $ABTS^+$는 98.42, 96.5%, PF는 0.9, 1.2, TBARS값은 대조구에$(2.4{\times}10^{-3}{\mu}M)$비해 알코올 추출물$(0.3{\times}10^{-3}{\mu}M)$과 물 추출물$(0.21{\times}10^{-3}{\mu}M)$이 더 낮은 TBARS값을 나타내었다. Angiotensin converting enzyme과 xanthin Oxidase 저해율은 열수 추출물에서 각각 39.9, 84.8% 그리고 알코올 추출물에서 89.8, 100%의 결과로 나타났다. 이 결과로 보아 로즈마리 추출물 중의 페놀성 화합물은 항산화활성, 항균활성, 고혈압 및 통풍에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was determined to evaluate ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase inhibition in vitro and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the several Korean resources plants. The ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity of Salicornia herbacea, Erythronium japonicum (flower) and Phragmites communis (root) in water extract showed relatively high 62.8%, 66.5% and 69.3%, respectively. The ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity of Citrus junos (pericarp) and Cornus officinalis in methanol extract was found to have an effect with 32.8% in Citrus junos (pericarp) and 60.9% in Cornus officinalis. Corylopsis coreana in both water and methanol extract had the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of 81.7% and 89.5%, while the extract of Portulaca oleracea, Ficus carica and Citrus junos was not measured ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity at given experiment concentration. Depending on the extraction solvent and the plant species, it was observed that there was a significant difference in ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity showed relatively higher in the methanol extract than water extract except pericarp of Citrus junos. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of selected plants was much difference between measured plant species, and showed that the increase was proportional to the concentration. These results suggested that selected plants had the potent biological activity on carbohydrate, lipid Inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity, therefore these plant resources could be a good materials to develop medicinal preparations, nutraceuticals or health functional foods for diabetes or obesity.

The purpose of this study was to establish valerenic acid as a marker compound for the standardization of ethanol extract of Valerinan officinalis (valerian) root as a functional health food. We established valerenic acid as a marker compound using HPLC. HPLC was used to quantify the marker compound in the valerian extract after validation of methods with linearity, accuracy, and precision. The specificity for retention time was met by comparative analysis of the valerian extract and standard compound using HPLC. The method showed high linearity of the calibration curve with a coefficient of correlation ($R^2$) of 0.9999. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was $10{\mu}g/mL$. The accuracy of measurement was 99.88~00.68% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) value was 0.59%. In addition, our analytical method yielded a 29% mean content of valerenic acid in the valerian ethanol extract. These results indicate that the established HPLC method facilitated the determination of marker compounds in the valerian extract for the standardization of health functional foods.

This study aimed to investigate antioxidant activities from 11 forest plants, and determine their total phenolics, flavonoids and proantocyanidins contents. In addition, the antioxidant activities were correlated with antioxidant compounds. Among the samples, Cornus officinalis, Castanea crenata, Lindera erythrocarpa, Carpinus laxiflora and Pourthiaea villosa showed significantly higher 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) ($IC_{50}=21.12{\sim}28.93{\mu}g/mL$) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothia zoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) ($IC_{50}=28.18{\sim}52.55{\mu}g/mL$) radical scavenging ability with reducing power ($IC_{50}=59.91{\sim}93.64{\mu}g/mL$) than other plants; and C. crenata, L. erythrocarpa and Rubus coreanus showed strong nitric oxide (NO) inhibition activity (${\geq}60%$). In addition, L. erythrocarpa, C. laxiflora and P. villosa showed higher oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values (${\geq}1,100{\mu}M$ TE/g sample) than other samples. High total phenolic contents were observed in C. crenata (429.11 mg GAE/g), L. erythrocarpa (437.11 mg GAE/g), C. laxiflora (408.67 mg GAE/g) and P. villosa (404.11 mg GAE/g). The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity with reducing power were significantly correlated with total phenolic contents ($R^2=0.71{\sim}0.79$), but total phenolic contents were not correlated with NO inhibition and ORAC ($R^2=0.35{\sim}0.43$). Therefore, these results suggested that C. officinalis, C. crenata, L. erythrocarpa, C. laxiflora and P. villosa are potential natural antioxidative candidate ingredients.

식물 정유로부터 신규 제초제 개발을 위한 살초활성물질을 탐색하였다. 실험에 사용된 10종의 식물정유는[basil(Ocimum basilicum), blackpepper(Piper nigrum), clary sage(Salvia sclarea), ginger(Zingiber pfficinale), hyssop(Hyssopus officinalis), nutmag (Myristica fragrance), palmarosa(Cymbopogon martini), fennel(Foeniculum vulgare), sage(Salvia leucantha), spearmint(Mentha spicta)] 등이었으며, 이중 palmarosa 정유가 유채에 대한 살초력이 가장 높았다($GR_{50}$값, $201{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$). Palmarosa 정유에 함유된 휘발성 유기화합물로는 alpha-humulene, betacaryophyllen, cis-ocimene, citral, dipentene, geraniol, geranyl acetate, myrcene, nerol, terpinolene, transocimene이었다. Palmarosa 정유에는 geraniol(40.23%), geraniol acetate(15.57%), cis-ocimene(10.79%), beta-caryophyllene(8.72%)이 다량 함유되어 있었고, geraniol과 citral의 $GR_{50}$값은 각각 151과 $224{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$로 매우 낮았으며 이들 2종의 휘발성 유기화합물이 palmarosa 정유의 살초력에 크게 기여했다고 추론된다. 온실조건에서 palmarosa 정유 $80kg\;ha^{-1}$ 경엽처리는 수수, 돌피, 개밀, 바랭이, 자귀풀, 어저귀, 도꼬마리, 메꽃을 완전 방제하였다. 포장조건에서 민들레, 망초, 쇠비름은 $40kg\;ha^{-1}$ 경엽처리에도 모두 100% 방제가 이루어졌으나 질경이의 방제가는 50% 이었다. 본 연구 결과는 palmarosa 정유에 함유되어 있는 geraniol과 citral이 살초활성에 크게 기여했다는 것을 시사하여 준다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Carnosic acid (CA), found in rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis) leaves, is known to exhibit anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory activities. However, whether its anti-inflammatory potency can contribute to the amelioration of obesity has not been elucidated. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of CA on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathways in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. MATERIALS/METHODS: 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with CA ($0-20{\mu}M$) for 1 h, followed by treatment with LPS for 30 min; mRNA expression of adipokines and protein expression of TLR4-related molecules were then measured. RESULTS: LPS-stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes showed elevated mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin-6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and CA significantly inhibited the expression of these adipokine genes. LPS-induced up regulation of TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor 88, TNF receptor-associated factor 6, and nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$, as well as phosphorylated extracellular receptor-activated kinase were also suppressed by pre-treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with CA. CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study suggest that CA directly inhibits TLR4-MyD88-dependent signaling pathways and decreases the inflammatory response in adipocytes.
