Enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidants are involved in defense of oxgen free radical intermediates in all aerobic cells. The non -enzymatic antioxidants and antioxidant enzyme from the extracts of Solanum nigrum L. known to be anticancer medicinal plant were examined in other to utilize the discovery in natural products as cancer chem-opereventive agents. The DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) free radical scavening activity on plant position of Solanum nigrum L. was the highest in root, with stem, whole plant, seed, leaf and flower, at higher activities respectively. In extraction methods, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity by circulating extraction with 80 % MeOH. The DPPH activity of L6 fraction by LH-20 column chromatography showed about 6.7 times higher than that of ethyl acetate-fraction. These were identified as phenolic compounds such as 2-6-methano-3-benzazocin-11-ol, 2[1H]-phyidinethione and 2-hydroxy -5-methyl-benzaldehyde. Peroxidase(POD) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activities of stem and root were higher than that of other plant positions and those of plant positions according to growing stage were the highest in 60 days after seeding. The numbers of isozyme pattern of POD and SOD showed 10 hands and 5 bands, respectively, especially, 8 bands of POD and 3 bands of SOC showed a difference according to plant positions.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-cellulose column chromatographies. A 22 fold purification and an overall yield of 44% were achieved. The purified enzyme was a homodimer with Mr 37.1 kDa and subunit Mr 18.2 kDa as judged by SDS-PAGE. SOD showed $K_{m}$ values of 25 ${\times}$ 10$^{-6}$ M and 1.7 ${\times}$ 10$^{-6}$ M for nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and riboflavin as substrates, respectively. The enzyme was thermostable upto 5$0^{\circ}C$ and exhibited pH optima of 7.8. The effect of metal ions and some other compounds on enzyme activity was studied. $Co^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ were found to enhance relative enzyme activities by 27 % and 73 %, respectively, while M $n^{2+}$ inhibited the SOD activity by 64%. However, $Ca^{2+}$ and C $u^{2+}$ had no effect on enzyme activity. Other compounds like $H_2O$$_2$ and Na $N_3$ inhibited enzymatic activities by 60% and 32%, respectively, while sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), chloroform plus ethanol and $\beta$-mercaptoethanol had no effect on the activity of SOD. of SOD.
The pharmaceutical function of tocotrienol in rice bran was evaluated. Distinctive antioxidative effects by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) could be observed. Also, Superoxide Dismutase(SOD) and Glutathione Peroxidase(GPX) activities of the cultured cells such as human firbroblast and hepatocyte, were increased up to 2 fold by the treatment of tocotrienol. The effects on GPX activity were more evident than SOD activity, and the stimulation was up to 2 fold. The changes of gene expression patterns were examined by applying the cell extracts of fibroblast treated with the increasing concentrations of tocotrienol on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-D gel electrophoresis). As the concentrations increasing, many proteins began to appear with the increasing amounts, while several proteins diminished or disappeared. From these results, tocotrienol was clearly shown to have abilities on protecting any oxidizing damages and stimulating anti-oxidizing activities of the organisms.

Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate whether the changes in structure and activity of antioxidative enzymes, superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase(CAT) present in the eyes appeared when they were repeatedly exposed to UV-A, and reveal the correlation of these changes. Methods: Each enzyme solution was prepared from the standardized SOD and CAT, and repeatedly exposed to UV-A of 365 min under the condition of 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours a day over 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days. Structural denaturation of SOD and CAT induced by repeat UV-A irradiation was confirmed by the electrophoretic analysis, and their enzyme activity was determined by the colorimetric assay using the proper assay kit. Results: SOD exposed repeatedly to UV-A showed the polymerization pattern through the electrophoretic analysis when it was repeatedly exposed under the condition of at least 1 hour a day however, the change of its activity was found to be less than 12%. On the other hand, CAT repeatedly exposed to UV-A showed reduced size of the electrophoretic band which indicated a structure denaturation and its activity was significantly decreased. In the case of that the repeat exposure time was longer, CAT activity was completely lost even though some enzyme band was shown in the electrphoretic analysis. Conclusions: From these results, it was revealed that the degree and pattern in structural denaturation of antioxidative enzymes differently appeared according to the type of enzyme, and the degree of structural denaturation was not always consistent with the reduction in enzyme activity.
This study was carries out to analyzed the antioxidant activities and xanthine oxidase inhibitory effects of extracts from jujube to provide basic data for the development of functional materials. Antioxidative activities of extracts from jujube were analyzed by electron donating ability (EDA) using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity by pyrogallol and nitrite scavenging ability. Extract yields from jujube fruits were 11.55% for unripe fruits, and about twice that value when ripe fruit extracts were prepared. The yields of hot-water and ethanol extracts was 55.67 and 65.95% in dried fruits, respectively. Total phenol contents were higher in unripe fruit extracts. The EDA values of hot-water and ethanol extracts from jujube fruits were increased by increase of extract concentration, and were about 90% in 10.0 mg/mL of extract concentration. The SOD-like activity was increased by the increase of extract concentrations. The SOD-like activity of the hot-water extract from unripe fruits was higher than that of other extracts. The SOD-like activity of ethanol extracts was 39.92% at 10 mg/ml of extract concentration from unripe fruits. The nitrite scavenging ability was about 50% in 1.0 mg/ml of extract concentration at pH 1.2, and that of extracts from unripe fruits was higher than that of other extracts. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities of hot-water and ethanol extracts from unripe fruits were higher than those of other extracts, were increased by concentration of extracts.
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a protective enzyme responsible for the dismutat ion of superoxide radicals within the cell by converting superoxide radicals to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, which is in turn changed to oxygen and water by catalase. Previously, we reported that the panaxadiol (PD) and its ginsenoside $Rb_2$ induced the expression of SOD1 gene through AP2 binding site and its induction. Here, we examined the effect of subfractions of panaxadiol ginsenosides, which were extracted from different parts of ginseng root that possess various ratios of panaxadiol to panaxatriol, on the induction of SOD1 gene expression. To explore this possibility, the upstream regulatory region of SOD1 was linked to the chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) structural gene and introduced into human hepatoma HepG2 cells. We observed that the transcriptional activation of SOD1 was proportional to the contents ratio of panaxadiol ginsensides. Consistent with this results, the total extract portion prepared from the finely-hairy root, which contains the higher ratio of panaxadiol to panaxatriol about 2.6, increased the SODl transcription about 3 fold. This results suggest that the panaxadiol fraction could induce the SOD1 and total extract of the ginseng finely-hairy root would be a useful material as a functional food for the SOD1 inducer.

This study was conducted to compare the physiological and biochemical responses of P. orientalis and L. tulipifera in response to ozone. One-year-old seedlings of P. orientalis and L. tulipifera were exposed to 100 ppb ozone concentration for 2, 4, or 8 hr/day for 1 week. Photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and ozone uptake rate were measured daily, and chlorophyll fluorescence, carboxylation efficiency, chlorophyll content, and SOD activity were measured after 1 week. In P. orientalis, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were not decreased in the 2h/day ozone treatment, but the L. tulipifera response was more sensitive even in the 2h/day ozone treatment. Increased treatment time decreased photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. Chlorophyll fluorescence was not significantly different among treatment times. However, carboxylation efficiency decreased with increased treatment time, and L. tulipifera was more sensitive than P. orientalis. Chlorophyll content did not differ with species or treatment time. SOD activity response was greater in L. tulipifera than in P. orientalis, increasing to $131\%$ of pretreatment observations. Therefore it was concluded that L. tulipifera was more responsive and had lower ozone tolerance than P. orientalis.
The superoxide dismutase(SOD)-like activities for 26 kinds of herbs and spices and 10 kinds of instant curry products were determined by measuring their abilites to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium. All samples showed the SOD-like activities. Rosemary, cassia, tarragon, allspice, oregano, bay leaves, basil, marjoram, thyme and star anise had higher activities than $10^5\;unit/g$ and clove had highest activity of $232,143{\pm}19.989\;unit/g$. The SOD-like activities for 10 kinds of instant curry products were in the range of $400{\sim}700\;unit/g$ when measured after heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The water extracts of spices, herbs and curries were obtained by heat treatments of $25^{\circ}C$ for 60 min or $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 min, and their nitrite scavenging activity was measured at different pH conditions(1.2, 4.2 or 6.0). The nitrite scavenging activities were higher at acidic pH. However, the effects were not different from two heat treatments. The water extracts from cassia, bay leaves, allspices, oregano, staranise, rosemary, clove and tarragan had high nitrite scavenging activity(>90%) when they were measured at pH 1.2, and those from clove was highest $(97.58{\pm}0.88%)$. The pure curry used as raw materials for instant curry products had the nitrite scavenging activity in the range of $50{\sim}60%$ at pH 1.2 and the activity was not changed during the aging period$(0{\sim}12weeks)$. The ten brands of instant curry products had the nitrite scavenging activities of $12{\sim}28%$ at pH 1.2
This study was designed to investigate the effects of mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf extract (MLE) on oxygen radicals and their scavenger enzymes in liver membranes of rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (160$\pm$10 g) were fed basic diet (control group), and experimental diets (MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups) added 100 and 300 mg/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. Hydroxyl radical (.OH) levels resulted in a significant decreases (15.2% and 18.1%, 5.6% and 8.0%, respectively) in liver mitochondria and microsomes could be not obtained. These are no significant differences in superoxide radical ($O_2$) levels of liver cytosol in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups compared with control group. Lipid peroxide (LPO) levels were slightly decreased about 13.6% and 6.1% in liver mitochondria and microsomes of MLE-300 group compared with control group. Oxidized protein (OP) levels were remarkably decreased about 16.9% and 27.2% in liver microsomes only of MLE-100 and MLE-300 group compared with control group. Mn-SOD activities in liver mitochondria were remarkably increased (18.2% and 28.7%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups, and Cu,Zn-SOD activities in liver cytosol were also significantly increased (11.3% and 20.2%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups compared with control group. Mn-SOD activities in liver mitochondria were remarkably increased (18.2% and 28.7%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups, and Cu,Zn-SOD activities in liver cytosol were also significantly increased (11.3% and 20.2%, respectively) in MLE-100 and MLE-300 groups compared with control group, but significant difference between GSHPx activities in liver cytosol could be not obtained. These results suggest that anti-aging effect of mulberry leaf extract (MLE) may play a pivotal role in attenuating a various age-related changes.
This study was conducted to provide basic information for weed control by surveying the occurrence of weed species in turf sod production areas. Surveys of weed species occurred in turf sod production areas were conducted in Jangsung-gun, Jeonnam province from September 2014 to May 2016.
