The effect on the antioxidant activity and Nitric Oxide activity production inhibitory activity of Taraxacum has not been known. Therefore, phenolics and flavonoid contents were investigated from the ethanol extracts of five different Taraxacum species. The results showed that, among the five Taraxacum, T. hallaisanensis contains the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents. When the antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH, $ABTS^+$ and reducing power activity, the free radical scavenging activity of T. hallaisanensis was also the highest among five Taraxacum species. However, measurement by CCK-8 assay in Raw264.7 cells indicated that the extracts of Taraxacum species have no effect on cell viability. Moreover, we also investigated the effect of Taraxacum species on NO scavenging activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw264.7 cells. The results clearly showed that Taraxacum species inhibited NO production, and the inhibitory effect of T. hallaisanensis was the strongest. The above results suggested that Taraxacum species affected the antioxidant and NO scavenging activity, and among the five species, antioxidant and NO scavenging activity assay of T. hallaisanensis was significantly higher than those of other four Taraxacum species. Therefore, T. hallaisanensis could be used as a potential drug with anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect.

In recent year, We are concerned about anti-aging, disease-prevention, longevity, so many methods are used in solving this problem. And Those are related with antioxidative ability. Recently, We heard that Mori Cortex was known to reduce the hypertension and was helpful in promoting health, and Mori Ramulus was effective against obesity, etc. So, This study was performed to investigate the antioxidative effect of hot-water extracts of Mori Cortex and Mori Ramulus used for 3 methods, those are DPPH radical scavenging activity, Nitric oxide(NO) radical scavenging activity and Bovine serum albumin(BSA). And we compared Mori Cortex and Mori Ramulus on Antioxidative Effects. The results of this study were as follows: We measured levels of DPPH radical scavenging activity and Nitric oxide(NO) radical scavenging activity. And we obtained results that Mori Ramulus was most effective with the concentration of 5 $mg/m{\ell}$, and Mori Cortex was most effective with the concentration of 2.5 $mg/m{\ell}$, And we examined the antioxidative effects of Mori Ramulus and Mori Cortex with $CU^{2+}/H_20_2$-induced Bovine serum albumin(BSA). And we obtained that antioxidative ability was increased after 1.25 $mg/m{\ell}$ and that was most effective with the concentration of 5 $mg/m{\ell}$ on both of them. And antioxidative ability of Mori Cortex was better than Mori Ramulus(p<0.05). So I guess that hot-water extracts of Mori Ramulus and Mori Cortex have effects on antioxidative ability, but Mori Cortex is better than Mori Ramulus on antioxidation. Hereafter we need differential experimental methods of antioxidative effect on both of them.

Background: In this study, we investigated the antibacterial and nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitory activities of 75% ethanol extract of Prunus sargentii branches and its fractions against acne pathogens. Methods and Results: The antibacterial activity against acne causing pathogens was determined using the disc diffusion assay. The ethyl acetate fraction showed higher activities against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis than those shown by other fractions. In the DPPH radical and NO scavenging assays, the butanol fraction showed strong DPPH radical and NO scavenging abilities. These activities were related to the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of butanol fraction. On the other hand, the chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions exhibited the highest NO production inhibitory activity in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells compared to those exhibited by other fractions. Conclusions: The extract and its ethyl acetate fraction from the branches of P. sargentii exhibited antibacterial activity and could be used as functional materials in antimicrobial related fields. Moreover, the chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions are potential antiinflammatory agents and butanol fraction acts as an effective radical scavenger.

민들레의 부위별 항산화활성을 검토하기 위하여 지상부 및 지하부의 물, 50, 70, 100% 에탄올 용액과 열수추출조건을 이용하여 얻은 추출물의 DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 분석하였다. 민들레 지상부 및 지하부 열수추출물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능이 가장 우수한 것으로 분석되었으며, 추출물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거력은 열수추출물 > 70% 에탄올 추출물 > 50% 에탄올 추출물 > 100% 에탄올 추출물 > 물 추출물 순으로 나타났다. 추출물의 ABTS 라디칼 소거활성을 검토한 결과 지상부 및 지하부의 추출물중 열수추출물이 가장 높은 ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 나타낸 반면 물추출물은 가장 낮은 소거능을 나타내어 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 분석한 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 항산화활성이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타난 열수추출물을 이용하여 극성별 유기용매(클로로포름, 에틸아세테이트, 부탄올)을 이용한 분획물을 얻어 이들의 항산화활성을 검토하였다. ABTS 및 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성, 총 페놀성화합물의 함량을 분석한 결과 에틸아세테이트 분획물의 항산화 활성이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 에틸아세테이트 분획물을 제외한 클로로포름, 부탄올, 물 분획물의 경우 지상부 분획물이 지하부보다 라디칼 소거능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 각 분획물들이 RAW 264.7 대식세포주에서 LPS 처리에 의한 nitric oxide 생성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 지상부 및 지하부의 에틸아세테이트 분획물이 LPS 처리에 의해 증가한 nitric oxide의 생성을 효과적으로 억제하였으며, 지상부 에틸아세테이트 분획물 $20{\mu}g/mL$ 처리시 LPS 처리에 의해 증가된 NO 생성을 약 50% 저해하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 효과는 지하부 에틸아세테이트 분획물보다 우수한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 민들레 부위별 다양한 추출조건에서 획득한 추출물들의 총 항산화활성을 비교분석하여 제시함으로써 소재개발을 위한 추출조건을 설정하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 또한 각 분획물들의 총 항산화활성 및 RAW 264.7 대식세포주를 이용하여 LPS 처리에 의해 증가된 nitric oxide의 생성억제능을 비교분석하여 제시함으로써 기능성 소재개발에 있어서 기초자료로 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, we investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of the Paulownia tomentosa extracts (PTE). The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of PTE were 148.98±1.84 mg GAE/g extract, and 115.33±4.16 mg CE/g extract, respectively. The PTE showed that strong antioxidant activity via -diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity and FRAP assay. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. PTE remarkably reduced protein expression of inducible nitric oxide (iNOS), resulting in inhibition of production of nitric oxide (NO). Additionally, pre-treatment of PTE significantly suppressed the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Moreover, PTE significantly attenuated LPS-induced IkappaB (IκB) degradation and suppressed nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) nuclear translocation in macrophages. The PTE showed high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. These data suggest that PTE has pharmacological activity and may be useful for the development of anti-inflammatory agents.
