The principal objective of this study was to assess the anti oxidative activities of Petasites japonicus against oxidative stress in bovine brain tissue. Petasites japonicus is found with a relatively widespread distribution, and is cultivated as a culinary vegetable in Korea. Petasites japonicus samples were dried either by freeze-drying or by hot air-convection drying ($80^{\circ}C$), then evaluated for their anti oxidative activity by measuring 1-dipheny-1,2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, and by measuring thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in brain homogenates subjected to $Fe^{2+}$-mediated lipids with or without the addition of botanical extract. Hot air convection-drying resulted in a slight increase in the extraction yield as compared with freeze-drying. However, total phenol and flavonoid contents in freeze-dried Petasites japonicas were significantly higher than those of hot air convection-drying. Freeze-drying increased the free radical scavenging activity of Petasites japonicas, leaves, and stems by 52.6, 28.6, and 248.0%, as compared with hot air convection-drying. Additionally, the $IC_{50}$ values measured by TBARS in hot air convection-dried Petasites japonicas, leaves, and stems were increased by 36.0, 31.6, and 15.9%, as compared to those of freeze-drying. Although anti oxidative activity was reduced slightly by heat processing in Petasites japonicas, freeze-drying for each portion of Petasites japonicus was the most appropriate for use as a functional food and pharmaceutical material.

A quantitative analysis of bakkenolide D in the different parts of Petasites japonicus and Farfugium japonicum was performed by HPLC. A gradient HPLC elution system with a mobile phase consisting of water: acetonitrile solution (20:80 to 0:100 for 45 min) was followed and an INNO $C_{18}$ column was used for the chromatographic separation. The injection volume, flow rate, and UV detection were $10{\mu}L$, 1 mL/min, and 290 nm, respectively. Results show that both species showed the highest amount of bakkenolide D in the roots being 107.203 and 166.103 mg/g for P. japonicas and F. japonicum, respectively. Content analysis on the different parts of both plants displayed remarkably lower values which ranged from 0.403 - 4.419 and 7.252 - 32.614 mg/g for P. japonicas and F. japonicum, respectively. The results show that the roots of both plants are rich in bakkenolide D showing a promising use in the development of nutraceuticals and industrial application of the compound.

The major aim of this work is the research of secondary metabolites isolated from the aerial parts of Petasites japonicus. The plant material is extracted with a polar solvent, which is 95% by volume methanol at room temperature. The concentrated extract was partitioned as EtOAc, n-BuOH, and $H_2O$ fractions. From the EtOAC and n-BuOH fraction, two bakkenolides and two caffoylquinic acid were isolated using the Diaion HP-20, silica gel, ODS-A, and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies. According to the results of the results of physico-chemical and spectroscopic data including NMR, MS and UV. The chemical structures of the compounds were respectively determined as bakkenolide B (1), bakkenolide D (2), 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3), and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4). These results suggest that the compounds isolated from the aerial parts of this plant were almost identical with known components of Petasites japonicus. However, it is necessary to investigate more about the difference of amounts of constituents according to harvest area and time.

머위 유엽의 조기생산 가능성을 구명코자 근주의 정식시기, ABA 함량과 휴면과의 관계에 대해서 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 자연환경 조건하에서 근주의 휴면은 10월 상순경부터 시작되어 11월 중순경에 가장 깊었으며, 그 후 서서히 타파되기 시작하여 12월 하순경 이후에는 안전히 각성됨을 알 수 있었고, 이 기간의 5$^{\circ}C$ 이하 저온누적시간은 900시간 정도이다. 이는 근주의 휴면이 타파되기 위해서는 반드시 저온이 요구됨을 의미한다. 근주의 생육시기별 ABA 함량은 머위의 생육성기인 4월부터 9월까지는 ABA가 전혀 존재하지 않았는데 이는 휴면기간 동안 다른 저장양분과 함께 근주내에 존재하던 ABA가 맹아와 함께 지상부로 이동되었기 때문이며, 반대로 10월부터 ABA가 근주내에 존재하기 시작한 것은 외기기온의 하강과 더불어 지상부가 고사되면서 지상부에 존재하던 ABA가 근주로 이동되었기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 따라서, 식물체내에서 생육을 억제하고 휴면을 유도하는 물질로 알려진 ABA는 머위 근주의 휴면과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Petasites japonicus Maxim (P. japonicus) has been used as an edible and medicinal plant and contains many bioactive compounds. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of P. japonicus on osteogenesis. MATERIALS/METHODS: The leaves and stems of P. japonicus were separated and extracted with hot water or ethanol, respectively. The total phenolic compound and total polyphenol contents of each extract were measured, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of each extract was evaluated to determine their effect on bone metabolism. To investigate the effect on osteoblast differentiation of the aqueous extract of P. japonicus leaves (AL), which produced the highest ALP activity among the tested extracts, collagen content was measured using the Sirius Red staining method, mineralization using the Alizarin Red S staining method, and osteocalcin production through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis. Also, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to investigate the mRNA expression levels of Runt-related transcriptional factor 2 (Runx2) and Osterix. RESULTS: Among the 4 P. japonicus extracts, AL had the highest values in all of the following measures: total phenolic compounds, total polyphenols, and ALP activity, which is a major biomarker of osteoblast differentiation. The AL-treated MC3T3-E1 cells showed significant increases in induced osteoblast differentiation, collagen synthesis, mineralization, and osteocalcin production. In addition, mRNA expressions of Runx2 and Osterix, transcription factors that regulate osteoblast differentiation, were significantly increased. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that AL can regulate osteoblasts differentiation, at least in part through Runx2 and Osterix. Therefore, it is highly likely that P. japonicus will be useful as an alternate therapeutic for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

호흡기계 질환에 효과적이라고 알려져 있는 식물성분들을 이용하여 기능성 음료를 개발하고자, 혼합물 실험계획법을 통해 혼합 최적 비율을 찾기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 즉, 머위 30~70%, 수세미 10~30% 및 어성초 10~30%의 비율로 혼합하여 중앙점 반복을 포함하여 총 12개의 실험점을 설계하였고, 이 설계를 바탕으로 혼합물은 121℃에서 45분간 중탕 추출을 하여 anti-allergy activity 및 anti-microbial activity를 측정하였다. anti-allergy activity 효과는 Response surface와 trace plot을 보면 머위의 함량이 많을수록 좋은 효과를 나타내었고 수세미는 다소약한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 다중회귀분석 결과 상관계수 R²=82.10%이며 유의적인 회귀식으로 설명이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 최적비율은 머위 0.75, 수세미 0.14 그리고 어성초 0.11의 비율로 결정되었다. anti-microbial activity는 혼합비율에 따른 각 추출물들이 그람양성균인 Staphylococcus aureus (KCCM 40881), Staphylococcus epidermidis (KCCM 35494)에 대해서는 유효하나 그람음성균인 Escherichia coli (KCCM 11234), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KCCM 11328)에 대해서는 미미하거나 효과가 나타나지 않았다.
