The objective of this study is to evaluate the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities of plum (Formosa, Oishiwase, Soldam) for the future development of functional food products. To determine the anti-inflammatory effect of different types of plums, the inhibitory effect of plum extracts on nitric oxide (NO) production were measured in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw 264.7 mouse macrophage cells and human cancer cell lines (A549, Ags, Hela, Hep3B). Among the three different plum cultivars, Oishiwase at a concentration of 1 mg/mL showed the highest inhibitory effects on NO production (%) in Raw 264.7 macrophage cells. Moreover, Oishiwase exhibited a higher anti-cancer activity against A549 (renal carcinoma, 50%), Ags (gastric carcinoma, 35%), HeLa (cervical carcinoma, 50%), and Hep3B (hepatocellular carcinoma, 31%) at a concentration on 1 mg/mL, respectively, compared to Formosa and Soldam. Our findings suggest Oishiwase plum extracts may serve as potential dietary sources of natural health promoting substances.

Physiocheical properties and chemical compositions of two plums(Oishiwase, Formosa ) produced in Kimcheon area were investigated . Chemical compositions of two plum cultivars were similar except nitrogen free extract(NFE) . NFE value of Formosa was higher than Oishiwase . Alcohol insoluble substance content, total soluble pectin, total sugar content and total organic acid content of Oishiwase were 2.08%, 14.16%, 5.07% and 949.16mg%, respectively. In case of Formosa cultivar, those were 50%, 15.42%, 5.91% and 985.91mg%, respectively. Fructose content among free sugars of two plum cultivars range from 3.97-3.45% and the other were glucose, sucrose and inositol, 1.83-1.53%, 0.08-0.05% and 0.04-0.03%, respectively. Malic acid content was 35-373mg% and others were levulinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, succinic acid and fumaric acid in the decreasing order.

The purposes of this study were to determine phenolic compounds and to evaluate antioxidant activities of plums (Soldam, Oishiwase and Formosa). Soldam contains the highest amount of total phenolics among cultivars (Formosa: 4.0%, Oishiwase: 3.3%, Soldam: 6.4% for total phenolic) as well as the total flavonoids of which constituents were mainly myricetin and anthocyanidin. The antioxidant activities were measured by DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging, and SOD-like activities. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of Korean plum extracts (200 ${\mu}g/mL$) showed more than 43%, and the Soldam turned out to be the highest : ID50 value: 160-177 ${\mu}g/mL$ for Formosa and Oishiwase; 58-64 ${\mu}g/mL$ for Soldam. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of Korean plum extracts (200 ${\mu}g/mL$) was found to be more than 50%. The SOD-like activity of Korean plum extracts (200 ${\mu}g/mL$) showed more than 70%. Among three kinds of cultivars, Soldam had the highest antioxidant activity. The nitrite scavenging activity of Soldam was 61.5%, which is the highest, compared with that of the other cultivars, about 50%. From these results, Korean plums turned out to be phytochemical rich fruit as well as to show high antioxidant activities.

자두를 이용한 기능성 가공식품 개발을 위하여 화학적 특성과 생리활성을 조사하였다. 자두의 일반성분은 단백질 1.9-6.2%(w/w), 지방 2.3-7.1%(w/w), 회분 3.5-4.1%(w/w), 탄수화물 84.1-88.7%(w/w) 이었다. 유기산은 oxalic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid 등이 검출되었으나 대석조생은 acetic acid가 검출되지 않았다. 유리당은 sorbitol, glucose, fructose, sucrose가 확인되었다. 총 식이섬유와 총 페놀성 함량은 과피가 과육보다 많이 함유되었다. 자두 과피 에탄을 추출액의 DPPH에 대한 전자공여율은 BHA와 tocopherol 보다 높았으며 과육의 2배 이상 높게 나타났다. 아질산염소거율은 과육과 과피 모두 pH 1.2와 pH 3.0에서 97% 이상 높았으며 tyrosinase 저해활성은 88.5-100%로 아주 높았다. 자두의 SOD유사활성은 22.7-27.2%로 저조하였다.

This investigation was performed to study the antioxidant activities and the antimicrobial effect of plum (Santarosa, Oishiwase) extracts. Plums were extracted by ultrasound-assisted method and boiling method. All extracts of plums showed concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on the DPPH free radical scavenging activity. In the superoxide anion radical scavenging method, all the plum extracts showed lower activity than BHT. But in case of sonicate extract of Oishwase exhibited the highest activity in plum extracts. The antimicrobial effect of plums used for human skin- or oral cavity-presented strains; Bacillus cereus (KCTC 1012) and Staphylococcus aureus (KCTC 1927). Addition of plum extracts was used by autoclaved and filtrated. Each extract solution was added into culture media with several concentration and then the bacteria cell growth was investigated for 72 hours. The effect of antimicrobial activities showed in a higher Staphylococcus aureus than Bacillus cereus. Results indicate that the autoclaved sample showed a higher antimicrobial activity than did the filtrated sample.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of plum(Prunus salicina Lindl. cultivars 'Oishiwase', 'Formosa', and 'Soldam') extracts on the proliferation as well as inhibition of human epithelial cells(HaCaT), human cervical carcinoma (HeLa, SiHa, and C33A) cells, and human stomach adenocarcinoma(SNU 638) cells. Dried plum was sequentially extracted and fractionated by hexane(KC-01), chloroform(KC-02), ethyl acetate(KC-03), n-butanol(KC-04), water(KC-05), methanol(KC-6), and hot water extract(KC-07). The epithelial and cancer cells were exposed for 48 h to $50{\mu}g/mL$ of plum extract in vitro, and were then analysed by a sulforhodamin B(SRB) staining assay. The methanol extract(KCP-6) of 'Formosa' proliferated not only the HaCaT cells(147.3%), but also the cervical carcinoma C33A cells(167.8%). The ethyl acetate extract of 'Soldam'(KCJ-3) significantly reduced the proliferation rate of the HPV positive conical carcinoma cells, at 61.5% for the SiHa cells and 70.5% for the HeLa cells. In the C33A cells, which are HPV negative cervical carcinoma cells, the hexane fractions of 'Formosa'(KCP-1) and 'Oishiwase'(KCD-1) markedly suppressed proliferation activity at 20.4% and 61.7%, respectively. However, the proliferation rate of the normal epithelial cells(HaCaT cell) was not reduced the proliferation rate by KCJ-3, KCP-1, or KCD-1, There were no significant effects on proliferation of the stomach cancer cells(SNU 638) by any of the extracts or fractions of the plum cultivars. These results suggest that the anti-proliferative effects of the plum cultivars were selective to the cancer cell origin. In conclusion, we found that several plum cultivar extracts, especially, the ethyl acetate fraction of 'Soldam" and the hexane fraction of "Formosa', have anti-proliferative activity toward human cervical carcinoma cells. However, further investigation is needed to assess the molecular mechanisms that mediate the antiproliferation activities of the plum cultivars.
