Objectives : Persicaria tinctoria belongs to the Polygonaceae family and it has been used as the natural dye traditionally. Also, it is well known that the Persicaria tinctoria is used for treating the following symptoms such as fever, inflammation and edema. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effective source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agent from various parts of Persicaria tinctoria.Methods : We investigated the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of the Persicaria tinctoria extracts. Antioxidant activities were measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, Fe²⁺ chelating activity and Reducing power of Persicaria tinctoria extracts. And its inhibitory effect against oxidative DNA damage was evaluated in non-cellular system using φX-174 RF I plasmin DNA. The anti-inflammatory effect of Persicaria tinctoria was measured by using the inhibitory efficacy for the amount of nitric-oxide (NO) produced in LPS induced RAW264.7 cells.Results : The extracts from stem part showed better DPPH scavenging activity compared to those of the leaf and root extracts. Their IC₅₀s were measured as 7.17, 144.40 and 165.07 ug/ml, respectively. These results were similar to that of ABTS radical scavenging assay and reducing power. Also, Persicaria tinctoria showed the protective effects of DNA damage against oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effect by suppression of NO production in LPS induced RAW264.7 cells.Conclusions : These results showed that various parts of Persicaria tinctoria can be used as an effective source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents via antioxidative activities and anti-inflammatory effect.

In recent years, research into medicinal herbs with antioxidative activities has increased. Chrysanthemum morifolium and Chrysanthemum indicum are aromatic herb plants and that have long been used in traditional Vietnamese medicine. This study aims to evaluate the chemical compositions and antioxidative activities of essential oils hydrodistilled from the flower heads of C. morifolium and C. indicum. The chemical compositions of the essential oils were compared using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. The antioxidative activity was determined and evaluated spectroscopically by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, metal chelating activity, reducing power, and total antioxidant capacity assays. According to the GC/MS results, chrysanthenone was predominant in the essential oils of both C. morifolium (64.14%) and C. indicum (32.02%). This is the first report of the identification of chrysanthenone as a major constituent of the essential oil of C. morifolium. Both Chrysanthemum oils were also revealed to possess antioxidant potential, exhibiting high antioxidative activities. In particular, the DPPH radical scavenging activities of the C. morifolium and C. indicum oils at a concentration of 100 mg/mL were 76.9 and 83.2%, respectively. The metal chelating values of C. morifolium and C. indicum were 0.85 and 0.76, whereas the reducing power values of that at 100 mg/mL were 0.76 and 0.71, respectively. This study provides the chemical properties of the essential oils of both C. morifolium and C. indicum grown in Vietnam and their potential antioxidant capacity.

The aim of the study is to investigate the antioxidant activity through, reducing power, 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl radical (DPPH), nitric oxide radical (NO), superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide radical ($H_2O_2$) scavenging activity and the amount of total phenolic compounds of chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and aqueous extracts of the leaves of Talinum portulacifolium. Chloroform extract of leaves of T. portulacifolium showed highest antioxidant activity, with a direct relationship between activity and concentration of extracts ($15-240\;{\mu}g/mL$). Among all the extracts, the highest amount of the total polyphenolic compounds was found in the chloroform extract. Chloroform extract of T. portulacifolium showed an important free radical scavenging activity towards the DPPH, NO, Superoxide and $H_2O_2$ radicals, with $IC_{50}$ values of 133.26, 165.75, 156.34 and $135.29\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In the lipid peroxidation assay, extracts of chloroform and ethyl acetate showed a remarkable inhibitory activity. The extracts showed significant activity in all the experiments but lower than the standard antioxidant, ascorbic acid.

The antioxidant activity was analyzed in gamma-irradiated cooking juices. Because the activities of antioxidants have been attributed to various mechanisms, different assay methods including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), have been conducted and compared. All of these antioxidant assay showed that the antioxidant activity of cooking juice was increased by gamma-irradiation. To investigate this increase of antioxidative activity, the protein was extracted from cooking juices and its antioxidant activity was measured. From the results, it was thought that the modification of protein in cooking juiced by irradiation caused the increase of antioxidant activity of cooking juice. Therefore, gamma irradiation could be an promising method for a sterilization of cooking juice with increased antioxidant activity.

3개월간 다른 조건에서 저장한 잎 및 분말녹차의 항산화 활성 변화를 조사하였다. 녹차 추출물은 수분활성도(0.81, 0.69, 0.23)와 온도($25^{\circ}C$, $4^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$)를 달리하여 3개월간 저장한 잎 및 분말녹차 시료 1.5 g에 $70^{\circ}C$의 탈이온수 100mL를 첨가하여 5분간 추출하여 준비하였다. 항산화 특성은 환원력, DPPH radical 소거활성, FRAP 측정법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 모든 실험에서 분말녹차 추출물이 잎녹차 추출물보다 높은 활성을 나타내었으며 농도 의존적인 경향을 보였다. 그러나 각 실험에서 저장조건에 대하여 다른 결과를 보였다. 잎녹차 추출물의 환원력은 $4^{\circ}C$, 수분활성도 0.23 저장조건에서 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도일 때 가장 높았으나 분말 녹차 추출물은 모든 저장조건에서 동일한 농도일 때 높았다. 특히 잎녹차 추출물과 비교하였을 때 약 $1.5{\sim}2$배 더 높았다. DPPH radical 소거활성은 각각 농도 $15{\sim}125{\mu}g/mL$에서 농도 의존적으로 증가했다. 처리 농도 $125{\mu}g/mL$ 이상에서는 활성이 $80{\sim}90%$로 더 이상의 증가 패턴은 보이지 않았다. 녹차 추출물의 FRAP 활성은 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가했다. 특히 잎녹차 추출물의 경우 $-20^{\circ}C$, 수분활성도 0.69와 0.23일때 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$에서 가장 효과적이었다. 결과를 종합해보면 녹차의 저장에 있어서 수분활성도 보다는 온도가 중요한 요소로 작용하며, 대체적으로 냉장조건($4^{\circ}C$)이 녹차의 항산화 활성과 생리활성성분을 증가 또는 유지시키는데 좀 더 유리함을 나타내었다.

Background: The light emitting plasma (LEP) has recently attracted attention as a novel artificial light source for plant growth and functional component enhancement. We investigated the effects of LEP on whitening and antioxidant activities of the plant parts of perilla. Methods and Results: Previously germianted seeds of perilla were cultivated under different light conditions (fluoresce lamp, LED red, blue, white, green, and LEP) in a culture room for 2 months. Parts of perilla were harvested and extracted in 70% EtOH. The extracts were used to detect total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), reducing power and tyrosinase inhibition activity as indicators of biological activity. Biological activity was highest in seedlings grown under LEP. The total phenolic content was highest in the stems and the total flavonoid content was highest in the roots of perilla exposed to LEP. The DPPH and ABTS radical activity in all the parts of perilla exposed to LEP were higher by approximately three-fold compared to that in the control (fluoresce lamp). The reducing power values of perilla significantly increased after treatment with LEP. In addition, all the extract of perilla plants exposed to LEP promoted the tyrosinase inhibitory activity. These results suggest that LEP can be an important artificial light source for enhancement of biological activity. Conclusions: LEP could promote whitening and antioxidant activity of perilla.

오미자의 포제방법에 따른 생리활성 변화를 비교하기 위해 항산화 활성을 평가하였다. 항산화 활성 평가를 위해 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량 측정, DPPH radical 소거활성, ABTS radical 소거활성 그리고 환원력을 측정하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 포제처리를 하지 않은 오미자에 비해 청초 전처리, 주정 전처리를 한 오미자 모두 함량이 증가하였고 $220^{\circ}C$에서 12분 동안 청초 전처리를 하였을 때 가장 높게 증가하였으며 플라보노이드 함량에서도 폴리페놀 함량과 유사한 결과를 나타냈다. DPPH radical 소거활성에서는 $220^{\circ}C$에서 처리하였을 때 생오미자 보다 활성이 증가하였으며 12분 동안 처리된 청초오미자에서 효과적이었다. ABTS radical 소거활성에서는 $140^{\circ}C$에서 3분 동안 처리한 청초오미자의 활성이 효과적으로 나타났고 환원력을 측정한 결과 생오미자, 청초 전처리, 주정 전처리에서의 활성 차이는 미비하였으나 비교적 $220^{\circ}C$에서 12분간 처리를 하였을 때 가장 효과적이었다. 이 결과는 포제처리 과정 중 열에 의한 오미자의 약리성분이 변화됨으로써 생리활성 변화에 기인한 것으로 판단되어진다. 따라서, 오미자의 항산화 활성은 비교적 청초 전처리에서 효과적이었으며 $220^{\circ}C$에서 12분간 처리하였을 때 가장 효과적으로 활성이 증가함을 확인하였다.
