The genus Patrinia, belonging to the Valerianaceae family, includes ca. 20 species of herbaceous plants with yellow or white flowers, distributed in Korea, China, Siberia, and Japan. Among them, P. scabiosaefolia (yellow Patrinia), P. saniculaefolia, P. villosa (white Patrinia), and P. rupestris are found in Korea. Several members of this genus have long been used in folk medicine for the treatment of inflammation, wound healing, ascetics, and abdominal pain after childbirth. Thus far, ca. 217 constituents, namely flavonoids, iridoids, triterpenes, saponins, and others have been identified in this genus. Crude extract and isolated compounds have been found to exhibit anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, cytotoxic activities, lending support to the rationale behind several of its traditional uses. The present review compiles information concerning the phytochemistry and biological activities of Patrinia, with particular emphasis on P. villosa, as studied by our research group.

패장 (Patrinia villosa Jussieu, Valerianaceae)의 뿌리는 한국에서 오래전부터 감염성 질환의 치료에 사용되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 패장근의 물 추출물 엑스 (PVWX)가 proteinase 활성수용체-2 (PAR2)에 의하여 유발된 흰쥐 발바닥 부종에 대한 항염증효과를 연구하였다. 발바닥 부종은 trypsin이나 $trans-cinnamoyl-LIGRLO-NH_2\;(tc-NH_2)$를 쥐의 발바닥에 주사하여 유발시켰다. PVWX (10, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg)는 부종유발 1시간 전에 경구로 투여하였다 50, 100 및 200 mg/kg의 PVWX 투여시 부종의 부피와 혈관투과성의 변화에 유의성 있는 억제를 나타냈다. PVWX (100 mg/kg)은 발바닥 조직에서 PAR2 작동약으로 유발된 myeloperoxidase (MPO)활성을 유의성 있게 억제하였다. 이러한 결과들은 PVWX가 PAR2로 유발된 쥐의 발바닥 부종에서 항염증효과가 있음을 보여준다.

'Pae Jang (敗醬)' is one of Chinese crude drugs used mainly as a edema, abdominal pain and hemoptysis, etc. With regard to the botanical origin of 'Pae Jang', it has been considered to be Patrinia scabiosaefolia of Valerianaceae, but there has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of the 'Pae Jang', we studied on the anatomical characteristics of the roots of three species growing in Korea. Through our studies, the botanical origin of 'Pae Jang' from Korea was proved to be the under ground portions of Patrinia scabiosaefolia and Patrinia villosa.

Objective : In the present study, we investigated the pharmacological profile of the aqueous extract of $Patrinia$ $scabiosaefolia$ Fischer ex Link (EPS) and $Patrinia$ $villosa$ Jussieu (EPV) for its anti-asthmatic activities. The purpose of this study is to ascertain if EPS result in better anti-asthmatic activities and functional outcome as compared with EPV. Methods : In this study, BALB/c mice were systemically sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) followed intratracheally, intraperitoneally, and by aerosol allergen challenges. We investigated the effect of EPS, EPV on the recruitment of pulmonary inflammatory cells, various immune cell phenotypes, Th1/Th2 cytokine gene expression and production and histamine production in serum. Results : In BALB/c mice, we found that EPV-treated groups had more effectively suppressed inflammatory cell infiltration of lung and BALF, B220+IgE+, CD11b+Gr-1+ cell population in lung and these occurred by suppressing the gene expression of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-4 cytokine production in BALF and serum. Conclusions : These results suggest that EPV may play an important role in the control of anti-asthmatic activities by down-regulation of Th2 cytokine (especially IL-4, IL-5). In general, EPV has shown a better anti-asthmatic activities compared to EPS.

Objectives : Due to the morphological similarity of in the roots of herbal medicine, the official herbal medicine is very difficult to authenticate between the original plants of Patriniae Radix and two adulterant Patrinia species. Therefore, we introduced DNA barcode analysis to establish a powerful tool for the authentication of Patriniae Radix from its adulterants. Methods : To analyze DNA barcode regions, genomic DNA was extracted from twenty-nine specimens of Patrinia scabiosaefolia, Patrinia villosa, Patrinia saniculifolia, and Patrinia rupestris, and internal transcribed spacer 2(ITS2), matK and rbcL genes were amplified. For identification of species specific sequences, a comparative analysis was performed by the ClastalW based on entire sequences of ITS2, matK and rbcL genes, respectively. Results : In comparison of three DNA barcode sequences, we identified 22, 22, and 12 species-specific nucleotides enough to distinguish each four species from ITS2, matK and rbcL gene, respectively. The sequence differences at the corresponding positions were available genetic marker nucleotides to discriminate the correct species among analyzed four species. These results indicated that comparative analysis of ITS2, matK and rbcL genes were useful genetic markers to authenticate Patriniae Radix. Conclusions : The marker nucleotides enough to distinguish P. scabiosaefolia, P. villosa, P. saniculifolia, and P. rupestris, were obtained at 22 SNP marker nucleotides from ITS2 and matK DNA barcode sequences, but they were confirmed at 12 SNP marker nucleotides from rbcL. These differences could be used to authenticate Patriniae Radix from its adulterants as well as discriminating each four species.

Various extracts from 30 medicinal plants were evaluated for their antiviral activity against influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) and cytotoxicity in MDCK cell culture. The plant material (30 g) was extracted with methanol (300 mL) at room temperature for 24 h, after which the methanolic extracts were filtered, evaporated, and subsequently lyophilized. Evaluation of the potential antiviral activity was conducted by a viral replication inhibition test. Among these medicinal plants, Tussilago farfara, Brassica juncea, Prunus armeniaca, Astragalus membranaceus, Patrinia villosa, and Citrus unshiu showed marked antiviral activity against influenza virus A/H1N1 at concentrations ranging from 0.15625 mg/mL to 1.25 mg/mL, 0.3125 mg/mL to 10 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL to 10 mg/mL, 0.625 mg/mL to 10 mg/mL, 0.625 mg/mL to 10 mg/mL, and 0.3125 mg/mL to 5 mg/mL, respectively. The extracts of Tussilago farfara showed cytotoxicity at concentrations greater than 2.5 mg/mL, whereas the other five main extracts showed no cytotoxicity at concentrations of 10 mg/mL. Taken together, the present results indicated that methanolic extracts of the six main plants might be useful for the treatment of influenza virus H1N1.

This study was carried out to select proper species for early stage replantation in granite forest roads cut-slope. From one to fourteen year elapsed forest roads in eight regional areas of Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do, sample plots were selected, and their vegetations and environmental factors were investigated. Soil organic matter, total nitrogen, soil moisture content, and bulk density in the granite weathering soils were below 0.4%, 0.03%, 12.4%, and above 1.2g/$cm^3$, respectively. The result indicated that the soil was not good for plant growth. The environmental factors affecting distribution of species in the granite forest roads were the elapsed year, elevation, and cut-slope aspect. Invaded species with high frequency in the forest road cut-slope ordered Pinus densiflora, Lespedeza bicolor, Rubus crataegifolius, Alnus hirsuta, Youngia denticulata, Patrinia villosa, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Zanthoxylum schinifolium, and Dactylis glomerata. Herbs seeded in earth stage such as Dactylis glomerata, Eragrostis curvula, Festuca arundinacea, Lespedeza sp., and Amorpha fruticosa had changed into perennial herbs and shrubs such as Youngia denticulata, Patrinia villosa, Aster scaber, Patrinia scabiosaefolia, Melica onoei, Astilbe chinensis var. davidii, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, Pueraria thunbergiana, Stephanandra incisa, and Clematis apiifolia, and had changed into plants such as Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Artemisia keiskeana, Miscanthus sinensis, Pinus densiflora, Rhododendron mucronulatum, Rubus crataegifolius, and Zanthoxylum schinifolium according to elapsed year of forest roads. Leguma such as Lespedeza sp., Pueraria thunbergiana, Amorpha fruticosa, etc., herbs such as Artemisia keiskeana, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, Miscanthus sinensis, etc., and woody plants such as Pinus densiflora, Rubus crataegifolius, Rhododendron mucronulatum, etc., with foreign herbs were considered as proper species for replantation in granite forest road cut-slope.
