Objectives : The present study was performed to clarify the antioxidant and anticancer effects of extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera and Kaempferol. Methods : Antioxidant effect was measured by DPPH-radical scavenging activity for electron donating ability (EDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity for SOD and lipid peroxidation. Anticancer effect was assessed by MTT absorbance for cytotoxicity. Results : Vitamin E, Kaempferol and ethyl acetate extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera increased SOD-like activity and DPPH-radical scavenging activity dose-dependently. On the contrary, lipid peroxidation was time-dependently decreased. Furthermore, Kaempferol and ethyl acetate extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera significantly decreased the growth rate of C6 glioma cells. Conclusions : These results suggest that ethyl acetate extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera may be a putative antioxidant or anticancer substance.

Salsolinol, endogenous neurotoxin, is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, we have investigated the oxidative damage of DNA induced by the reaction of salsolinol with Cu,Zn-SOD. When plasmid DNA incubated with salsolinol and Cu,Zn-SOD, DNA cleavage was proportional to the concentrations of salsolinol and Cu,Zn-SOD. The salsolinol/Cu,Zn-SOD system-mediated DNA cleavage was significantly inhibited by radical scavengers such as mannitol, ethanol and thiourea. These results indicated that free radicals might participate in DNA cleavage by the salsolinol/Cu,Zn-SOD system. Spectrophotometric study using a thiobarbituric acid showed that hydroxyl radical formation was proportional to the concentration of salsolinol and was inhibited by radical scavengers. These results indicated that hydroxyl radical generated in the reaction of salsolinol with Cu,Zn-SOD was implicated in the DNA cleavage. Catalase and copper chelators inhibited DNA cleavage and the production of hydroxyl radicals. These results suggest that DNA cleavage is mediated in the reaction of salsolinol with Cu,Zn-SOD via the generation of hydroxyl radical by a combination of the oxidation reaction of salsolinol and Fenton-like reaction of free copper ions released from oxidatively damaged SOD.

The pollution in closing water can be caused by not only artificial factor like sewage but also natural factor like elution from sediment. In this study we analyzed Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) for verification of sediment purification effect and sediment elution experiment as well as general items like COD, TN, TP, SS to complement and assess the effect of sediment and water quality. The experiment result showed that the release rate of OSD system were 4 times and 3 times as large as control for P and Fe respectively. SOD for operated OSD system and control were $12.18gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ and $47.95gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$. From water qualities analyzed by COD, TN, TP, SS, chlorophyll-a, the removal efficiency increase of TN, TP, chlorophyll-a and COD were about 10~20%, 40~50% and 10% respectively. In conclusion, OSD can contribute to improvement of both the waterbody and the sediment environment effectively.

To clerify the protective effect of omega-3 of polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the cytotoxicity induced by organic mercury in cultured NIH3T3 fibroblasts. The measurement of cell viability on ogranic mercury wad done by XTT assay after NIH3T3 fibroblasts were cultured with various concentrations of methyl mercuric chloride (MMC). And also, the effect of DHA on the MMC-mediated cytotoxicity was examined by cell viability, and antioxidant effect of DHA was also assessed by superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and the lipid peroxidation activity in cultured NIH3T3 fibroblasts. In this study, MMC decreased cell viability and $XTT_{50}$ value was determined at $50{\mu}M$ of MMC in these culture. In the effect of DHA against the cytotoxicity induced by MMC, DHA significantly increased the cell viability damaged by MMC in cultured NIH3T3 fibroblasts. And also, DHA showed the antioxidant effect by showing the increase of SOD-like activity and the decrease of lipid peroxidation activity. From these results, it is suggested that organic mercury such as MMC has highly toxic effect on cultured NIH3T3 fibroblasts, and also, omega-3 of polyunsaturated fatty acid, DHA showed the protection on MMC-induced cytotoxicity and antioxidant effect.

The antioxidant activities of Agrimony (Agrimonia pilosa L.) and Chinese lizardtail (Saururus chinensis Baill) according to extraction methods were measured. SOD-like activity showed greater antioxidant effects with ethanol solvent than those with water. Ethanol extracts of Agrimony leaves showed the highest SOD-like activity of 94.4%. SOD-like activity differed according to the extraction solvents. The contents of polyphenolic compounds were higher in water extracts than those in ethanol extracts. The contents were 161.4 mg for Agrimony roots, 100.2 mg for Agrimony leaves, and 79.1 mg for Agrimony stalks in order. EDA in Agrimony leaves that were highest among medicinal plants were 83.4% in the water extract and 81.7% in the ethanol extract.

본 연구에서는 무순을 추출용매 및 발아시기에 따라 추출하여 아질산염 소거능, SOD 유사 활성, tyrosinase 저해 활성, xanthine oxidase 저해 활성 그리고 ACE 저해 활성을 측정하였다. 아질산염 소거능 측정에서는 pH 1.2의 Z2조건에서 각 추출물들이 81.44~89.71%로 가장 높은 소거능을 나타내었고 pH 1.2와 pH 4.0의 조건에서 발아 4일째와 8일째의 무순 추출물이 발아 12일째의 무순 추출물보다 높은 소거능 효과를 나타내었다. 또 추출용매에 따라 소거능의 차이는 보였으나 물로 추출한 추출물이 상대적으로 다른 용매 추출물에 비해 소거능 효과가 좋은 것으로 나타났다. pH 6.0 조건에서는 에탄올 추출물이 16.12%의 활성을 보여 발아 12일째 무순의 에탄올 추출물과 메탄올 추출물의 소거능 효과와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 무순 추출물의 SOD 유사 활성은 4.57~27.05%의 범위를 보였고 비교물질인 L-ascorbic acid의 활성이 52.15%로 무순 추출물의 활성보다 높은 것으로 나타냈다. 추출물 중에서는 발아 8일째의 아세톤 추출물과 메탄올 추출물의 활성이 높은 것으로 나타났고 발아 12일째의 무순 추출물의 SOD 유사 활성은 4.57~15.59%로 현저히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. Tyrosinase 저해 활성은 발아 8일째와 12일째의 무순 추출물의 활성이 좋았으며, 추출용매는 메탄올 추출물이 62.65~84.89% 측정되어 가장 좋은 저해 활성을 보였다. Xanthine oxidase 저해 활성은 발아 4일째의 무순 추출물이 21.26~29.52%로 아세톤 추출물이 가장 높은 저해능을 나타내었고 발아초기에 비해 발아가 진행됨에 따라 저해능은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 발아시기와 추출용매에 따른 ACE 저해능은 12.48~51.78%의 저해 활성을 보였으며, 발아 8일째의 에탄올 추출물이 51.78%로 각 추출물 중 가장 높은 저해 활성을 보였다. 이와 같은 생리활성 결과를 기초로 하여 천연 기능성 식품의 소재 발굴 및 식품 개발에 있어 연구 활용의 가능성이 있을 것으로 기대되며 일반적으로 섭취하여 큰 효능을 기대하기 어려운 무순을 유효성분만을 추출하여 소재화 하는 것이 더 효율적이라고 판단된다. 또한 현행 건강기능식품법에 따르면 물, 주정, 핵산 등의 추출용매를 사용하여 유효성분을 추출하는 것을 허용하고 있으므로 용매의 종류 및 추출방법에 대한 추가적인 연구를 통해 큰 기대 효과를 줄 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

한방생약자원으로 사용되는 가죽나무(A. altissima)의 생리학적 활성을 조사하고자 뿌리와 줄기, 잎을 에탄올을 용매로 추출하여 농도에 따라 전자공여능, SOD유사활성, 아질산염 소거능을 측정하였으며, xanthine oxidase와 tyrosinase 저해 활성을 측정하였다. 전자공여능은 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 뿌리와 줄기 추출물이 64.04%와 63.27%이었으며, 잎 추출물은 17.47%를 나타내었다. SOD 유사활성능은 $7.66%{\sim}50.00%$로 잎 추출물이 뿌리와 줄기에 비해 약 5배 이상 높았고, 아질산염 소거능에 있어서도 가죽나무 잎 추출물이 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 pH 1.2와 3.0에서 98%이상의 높은 소거효과를 나타내었으며 $500{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서도 90% 이상의 소거효과를 나타내었다. Xanthine oxidase저해 활성은 $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 뿌리와 줄기, 잎 추출물 모두에서 90% 이상의 저해율을 보였고, tyrosinase저해는 $2,000{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 뿌리 추출물이 62.01%로 가장 높은 저해효과를 나타내었으며, $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서도 57.70%의 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 그러므로 가죽나무는 한방생약자원으로 이용되는 뿌리(저근백피) 이외에도 잎은 높은 SOD 유사활성능과 아질산염 소거능을 나타내며 줄기에서도 뿌리보다 높은 전자공여능과 아질산염 소거능 및 유사한 xanthine oxidase 저해 활성을 나타내므로 유용한 한방생약자원인 것으로 판단된다.
