  • Puerariae flos (PF) is a traditional oriental medicinal plant and has clinically been prescribed for a long time. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of PF on repeated stress-induced alterations of learning and memory on a Morris water maze (MWM) test in ovariectomized (OVX) female rats. The changes in the reactivity of the cholinergic system were assessed by measuring the immunoreactive neurons of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in the hippocampus after behavioral testing. The female rats were randomly divided into four groups: the nonoperated and nonstressed group (normal), the sham-operated and stressed group (control), the ovariectomized and stressed group (OS), and the ovariectomized, stressed and PF treated group (OSF). Rats were exposed to immobilization stress (IMO) for 14 d (2 h/d), and PF (400 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered 30 min before IMO stress. Results showed that treatments with PF caused significant reversals of the stress-induced deficits in learning and memory on a spatial memory task, and also increased the ChA T immunoreactivities. In conclusion, administration of PF improved spatial learning and memory in OVX rats, and PF may be useful for the treatment of postmenopausal-related dementia.

  • Objectives : In this study, we examined the estrogenic activities and anti-osteo clastogenesis effects of PCE17, a mixture of PE (an extract of Puerariae Flos), and CE (an extract of Citri Unshius Pericarpium). Methods : The estrogenic effect of PCE17, PE and CE were examined by ER-β/ERE reporter gene assay and proliferation assay in 293 T and MCF-7 cells. The expression of estrogen-responsive gene and protein were checked by Real Time-PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blotting in MCF-7 cells. Inhibitory effect of PCE17, PE and CE on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation were evaluated by TRAP staining and RT-PCR in primary osteoclast precursors from rat bone marrow cells. Results : PCE17 and PE bind to ERs (estrogen receptors) and show estrogenic activities in 293T cells. They also stimulated the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and increased the expression of ER response gene, pS2. Tectorigenin, an active ingredient of PE, shows similar estrogenic activities in MCF-7 cells. PCE17 and CE inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in rat primary osteoclast precursor cells and down-regulated the osteoclast-specific genes of Nfatc1, Ctsk, and Acp5. Conclusions : In conclusion, PCE17 may have therapeutic potential in cases of menopause and osteoporosis.

  • C. butyricum은 선택되어진 천연산물의 한 종류 단독으로서도 성장이 촉진되었으며, 또한 두 종류, 세 종류 및 네 종류의 조합에 의하여 특징적으로 성장이 촉진되었다 이러한 결과로부터 항산화력이 강한 천연산물들을 사용하여 free radical의 제거와 동시에 C. butyricum의 성장 촉진물질로 사용할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 생체의 기능을 향상시킬 수 있는 기능성 제제로의 응용 가능성을 보였다. C. butyricum을 CAB Medium에서 배양하였을 때, 구기자, 괴화, 백굴채, 백작약, 백출, 음양곽, 석창포, 진피, 당귀, 황금 및 오가피 등의 한가지의 천연산물에 의하여 성장이 촉진 되었고, 두 종류 천연산물의 조합인 백작약과 음양곽, 백작약과 진피, 백작약과 갈근, 백작약과 당귀, 백작약과 황금, 백작약과 괴화, 백작약과 녹차, 음양곽과 진피, 음양곽과 갈근, 음양곽과 황금, 음양곽과 괴화 등의 조합에 의하여 성장이 촉진되었으며, 백작약과 음양곽, 백작약과 진피, 백작약과 당귀, 음양곽과 갈근, 음양곽과 진피, 음양곽과 괴화의 조합 등은 대조군보다 2.0배 이상의 성장이 촉진된 것으로 나타났다. 이는 천연산물의 성분이 membrane의 구성 성분에 영향을 주기 때문으로 추정된다. 그리고 세 종류의 천연산물 조합인 음양곽과 갈근 및 괴화, 음양곽과 갈근 및 백작약, 음양곽과 갈근 및 당귀, 음양곽과 갈근 및 연자육, 음양곽과 갈근 및 황금 등의 조합에 의하여 성장이 촉진되었고, 음양곽과 갈근 및 연자육의 조합은 대조군 보다 1.7배의 성장 촉진 효과를 보였다. 4 종류 천연산물 조합인 음양곽, 갈근, 연자육 및 괴화의 조합, 음양곽, 갈근, 연자육 및 당귀의 조합은 대조군의 2.2배, 연자육, 백작약, 괴화 및 당귀의 조합, 갈근, 연자육, 백작약 및 괴화의 조합은 2.3배, 갈근, 백작약, 괴화 및 당귀의 조합은 2.0배의 성장 촉진 효과를 보여, 천연잔물의 조합에 의하여 생체에 probiotics의 역할을 하는 대부분의 유용균의 성장 향상을 위한 조합의 구성이 가능할 것으로 사료되고, 이들의 응용은 생체방어의 새로운 소재가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다 4 종류의 조합의 항산화력을 용존산소 분석법에 의하여 분석한 결과 연자육, 백작약, 괴화 및 당귀의 조합의 AUC가 631.45로써 가장 높았으며 이때의 성장촉진 효과는 2.3배로 나타났다. C. butyricum의 성장을 촉진하는 4 종류의 조합에 대한 hydroxyl radical의 소거활성은 50, 100, 200 및 300 배로 희석하여 검토하였을 때 음양곽, 갈근, 연자육 및 당귀의 조합이 200 배의 희석율에서 94.63%의 소거율을 보였고, 4 종류의 조합 모두 높은 희석율에도 90% 이상의 높은 소거율을 보여 높은 희석률을 필요로 하는 음료 제제로서의 탁월함을 보였으며, 또한, 4종류의 각 조합에 따른 방향족의 함량 및 총 phenol도 가공된 차보다 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

  • Objective : This study was designed to test the anti-craving effect of Gigaltang(extracts of Oriental medicinal herbs ; Hovenia dulcis and Puerariae flos) in C57BL/6 mice. Anti-craving effect was substituted by alcohol intake amount of C57BL/6 mice. Method : 60 C57BL/6 mice was randomized into vehicle(water) group and Gigaltang group. Only 39(vehicle group(21) and Gigaltang group(18)) was eligible for this study, and 21 C57BL/6 mice was dropped out. The procedure was composed of 5 days of adjustment period and 32 days of alcohol exposure and withdrawal period with limited access paradigm and 10 days of treatment period. Alcohol was offered only for 2 hours a day from 2 to 4PM and water was offered for 22 hours left. Food was offered for 24 hours a day. 1140mg/Kg/day of Gigaltang was administrated to 18 mice of Gigaltang group for 10 days whereas water to 21 mice of vehicle group. The amount of alcohol intake, water intake, food intake, body weight were measured every other day. Result : There weren't significant differences in 2 hours of alcohol intake, 22 hours of water intake, 24 hours of food intake and body weight for ten days between Gigaltang and vehicle group. Conclusion : Anti-craving effect of Gigaltang on C57BL/6 mice wasn't verified. To verify the anti-craving effect, further study with advanced animal model, various dose of Gigaltang and diverse period of drug administration should be taken.

  • The contents of isoflavones and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activities were determined in flowers (Puerariae Flos) and roots (Puerariae Radix) of Pueraria thunbergiana to differentiate both pharmacochemical or pharmacognostical usage of both oriental medicinal drugs. The tectorigenin contents in flower before and after acid hydrolysis were shown to be 17.10 ${\mu}mole\;g^{-1}$ and 49.58 ${\mu}mole\;g^{-1}$, respectively, analyzed by HPLC. However, the root displayed much less content of tectorigenin even after acid hydrolysis (6.56 ${\mu}mole\;g^{-1}$) than in the flower. Acid hydrolysis made glycitin and tectoridin of the isoflavone glycosides almost disappear in the flower and root. DPPH assay results demonstrated that acid hydrolysis of both extracts or both glycosides should increase free radical-scavenging activities due to the increase of isoflavone contents. It is also suggested that the flower had much higher concentration of isoflavonoids than in the root.

  • Excessive or long term ingestion of alcohol may cause hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatic tumor and so on. Aldehyde and active form of free oxygen that are metabolites of alcohol in liver are the cause of liver cell damage. The main system of alcohol metabolism is composed of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and cytochrome P450. In connection with in vivo alcohol metabolism, more than one hundred natural products were screened for inhibition or activation of alcohol dehydrogenase. As a results, we found significant inhibition ($IC_50$) of ADH by methanolic extracts of Puerariae Radix ($61.2{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$), Glycyrrhizae Radix ($105.0{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$), Cinnamomi Ramulus ($7.0{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$), Rhei Rhizoma ($36.7{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$), Mori Cortex Radicis ($106.2{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$), Chrysanthemi Flos ($112.2{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$), Erycibes Caulis ($36.7{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$), and Scutellariae Radix ($122.5{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$)
