The present study, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects were measured of 6 endemic plants in Indonesian extracted by hot water or ethanol. The Nipa Fruticans Wurmb ethanol extract (NFWE) and Orthosiphon aristatus ethanol extract (OAE) showed the highest polyphenol and flavonoid contents of 203.70 and 33.70 ㎍/mg, respectively. Antioxidant activity of OAE was highest in DPPH radical scavenging activity (77.49% at 10 ㎍/mL) and ABTS⁺ radical scavenging activity (93.36% at 10 ㎍/mL). FRAP activity was significantly higher in NFWE than other extracts. Anti-inflammatory effects of 6 endemic plants in Indonesian extracted by hot water or ethanol were examined using nitric oxide (NO) inhibition assays. In the LPS-induced BV2 cells, OAE showed the highest inhibition of NO production without toxicity. The results of this study, suggest that OAE is a potential functional raw material for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of 50% ethanol extract and its fractions from the branch of Rhododendron schlippenbachii. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, butanol and ethyl acetate fractions showed 59.98% and 55.17% of relative activity compared with positive control (ascorbic acid), but the 50% ethanol extract showed relatively low activity. In nitric oxide (NO) scavenging ability, the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions showed 141.80% and 131.55% relative activity compared with ascorbic acid as used for positive control. On the other hand, tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions showed about twice higher activity than positive control (arbutin). It means that the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions from the extract of R. schlippenbachii branch has ability for used as effective radical scavenger and tyrosinase inhibitor.

In the present study, we evaluated the free radical scavenging and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities exhibited by extracts obtained from the dried stems (and leaves) of Lespedeza bicolor We also assessed its potential irritation activities with regard to cosmetic use. When the DPPH radical scavenging activities of L. bicolor were assessed at six different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 ${\mu}g/ml$), the concentration of L. bicolor required to inhibit DPPH radical formation by $50\%$ was found to be $164.90{\mu}g/ml$. The effects of L. bicolor on the inhibition of xanthine oxidase were determined at seven different concentrations. The $50\%$ effective concentration was found to be $282.75{\mu}g/ml$. In the skin irritation test, all animals survived for the duration of the study, and all exhibited normal gains in body weight. The control sites exhibited no response to the control procedures. No edema, erythema, or eschar formation was observed in any of the tested rabbits. In the ocular irritation study, all of the rabbit eyes remained normal. In summary, L. bicolor extracts were considered to be non-irritating to the skin and eye.

The aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of 14 kinds of citrus oils and to test their biological activities. Citrus essential oils were obtained by steam distillation from immature fruits collected from Jeju Island and were analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC)-flame ionization detectors (FID) and GC-MS. Limonene (55.4% to 91.7%), myrcene (2.1% to 32.1%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (0.6% to 1.6%) and linalool (0.4% to 6.9%) were the major components in most citrus species. To evaluate in vitro antibacterial activity, all essential oils were tested against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Nine out of fourteen citrus oils exhibited antibacterial activity against P. acnes, but not against S. epidermidis. The effects of the citrus oils on DPPH radical scavenging, superoxide radical anion scavenging, nitric oxide radical, and cytotoxicity were also assessed. Three essential citrus oils, Joadeung, Dongjunggyul, and Bujiwha, exhibited potent inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production. Two essential oils, Dongjunggyul and Joadeung, showed potent free radical scavenging activities in the DPPH assay. For future applications in cosmetic products, we also performed MTT assays in a human dermal fibroblast cell line. The majority of the essential oils showed no cytotoxicity. The results indicate that citrus essential oils can be useful natural agents for cosmetic application.

The purpose of this study was to improve the functionality of a healthy drink with examining the possibility of manufacturing different enzymes (alpha-, beta-, glucose-amylase) in barley malts (BM) produced in various malting periods. The study showed that enzyme treatment increased significantly total polyphenol content (TPC), DPPH radical scavenging activity and hydroxly radical scavenging activity in malted liquid samples (MLS) which obtained from various malting periods. The highest of TPC were found in Gluco-24M with 1.981 mgTAE/ml, followed by Beta-24M and Alpha-72M with 1.878 mgTAE/ml and 1.845 mgTAE/ml, respectively. The DPPH result revealed that percent of inhibition increased by 71-75% compared to the control. No statistical difference was found between MLS obtained by 24 hr of malting (24 M) and 72 hr of malting (72 M) after enzyme treatment. In addition, an increasing of hydroxyl radical was in the same trend to the TPC and DPPH. The hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of enzyme treated samples was 1,5 times higher than the control. These results suggest the possibility of enzyme application to barley malts obtained in various germination periods for improving quality and functionality of barley malts.

In this study, antioxidant and anti-neuroinflammatory of ethanol extracts from walnuts's (Juglans regia L.) shell were investigated in vitro. Radical-scavenging activities of the walnuts's shell ethanol extracts (WSE) were examined by using ABTS radicals and ${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals assay. In the ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity, $RC_{50}$ of WSE were measured as 15.74 and $40.13{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Also, to evaluate the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of WSE in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells. The production of proinflammatory cytokines NO were examined by LPS in BV-2 cell. BV-2 cells activated with LPS were treated with various doses (10, 25, 50, $100{\mu}g/mL$) of WSE. Supernatants were analyzed for the production of NO using Griess reagent. WSE up to $10{\mu}g/mL$ still required to inhibit NO induced by LPS. These results showed that walnuts's (Juglans regia L.) shell can be used as an easily accessible source of natural anti-neuroinflammatory and natural antioxidants.
