In the present study, the Lycium chinensis Miller was harvested at intervals of one month in order to distinguish outstanding species and to determine optimal harvest time. From these harvests, extracts were prepared from ethanol. The total usable sugar, betaine, and phenolic acid contents as well as electron donating ability and SOD liked activity of the extracts were then measured. While sugar content of the Lycium chinensis Miller showed no significant difference among the various species examined, usable sugar content of the crop harvested in November was higher than that of the crop harvested in August. The Lycium chinensis Miller was picked in August, September, October, and November and analyzed for betaine content. According to this analysis, betaine content was higher in the crop harvested in November than in that harvested in August. In particular, considerable difference in betaine content per species or harvest time was exhibited. The SOD-liked activity in all of the Lycium chinensis Miller extracts showed an alleviation effect of at least 90%.

Contents in polyphenol and vitamin C and their antioxidant activities during storage of Lycii folium prepared by different treatment methods were investigated. The antioxidant activity of extracts prepared from 80% MeOH was evaluated using DPPH radical scavenging and SOD-liked activities. Total phenolic acid contents were 1.34 mg/mL when dry, but extracts during 15-day storage after NaCl 0% treatment decreased. DPPH radical scavenging activity of extracts was 65.48% when dry and decreased during 15-day storage after dry and NaCl 0% treatment. SOD-liked activity was 98.63% in NaCl 0% during 15-day storage after dry. Contents of vitamin C decreased during 15-day storage after dry and NaCl 0% treatment. Consequently, our results indicate that Lycii folium prepared from dry treatment could be a promising biomaterial for the production of functional food for total phenolic acid and vitamin C.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) are important inflammation enzyme and severe up-nitric oxide (NO) production by this enzyme has been intricated with pathogenesis of inflammation diseases as atopy dermatitis. The present study was designed in order to determine whether Sopungdojeok-san could inhibit atopy dermatitis through modulation of iNOS mRNA expression and NO production, We found that iNOS mRNA expression and NO production in RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide dose-dependantly decreased by Sopungdojeok-san extract treatment (0.4 - 1.0 mg/ml). The distribution of iNOS positive reacted cell in atopy dermatitis elicited skin of mice were remarkably decreased by Sopungdojeok-san administration (2.5 ml/kg/day). The SOD ability of Sopungdojeok-san were dose-dependantly increased from 0.6 mg/ ml than butylated hydroxyanisole. These data likely indicate that Sopungdojeok-san may act as inflammatory regulator for atopy dermatitis may be possible to develop useful agent for chemopreventation of NO-intricate inflammatory diseases.
