Solanum melongena L. (Solanaceae) has anti-oxidant, analgesic, and hypolipidemic effects. We previously showed that Solanum melongena (SM) aqueous extract inhibits mast cell-mediated allergic reactions. The activation of protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) induces acute inflammation in rat hindpaw. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the SM aqueous extract on mouse paw edema induced by PAR2 agonists. Trypsin or trans-cinnamoyl-LIGRLO-NH$_2$ (tc-NH$_2$), PAR-2 agonists, was injected into the hind paw of mice to induce paw edema. SM aqueous extract (1, 5, 10, and 100 mg/kg) was orally administered 1 hr before induction of paw edema. SM aqueous extract (5, 10, and 100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited both paw edema and vascular permeability in the dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, SM aqueous extract (10 mg/kg) significantly inhibited PAR-2 agonist-induced myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ expression in paw tissue compared to that of saline. These results suggest that SM aqueous extract may be useful for treatment of PAR-2-mediated inflammation.

Korean folk medicine 'GaJi' has been used to treat a boil, cough, mushroom poisoning and stomach cancer. The botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of 'GaJi', the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the stems of Solanum species growing in Korea, i.e. S. japonense Nakai, S. lyratum Thunb., S. melongena L., S. nigrum L. were compared. As a result, it was determined that GaJi was the stem of Solanum melongena L.

가지 잎으로부터 3종의 phenylpropanoid, 1종의 flavonoid glycoside, 그리고 1종의 norsesquiterpenoid glycoside 화합물을 분리 동정하였다. 가지 잎을 80 % MeOH로 추출하였으며, 얻어진 추출물을 n-hexane, EtOAc, n-BuOH 및 물 층으로 계통분획을 실시하였다. 이 중 n-BuOH 분획에 대하여 $SiO_2$, ODS 및 Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography를 반복 실시하여 5종의 화합물을 분리, 정제하였다. Nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy 및 mass spectrometry의 spectroscopic data를 해석하여 이 화합물들을 caffeic acid (1), chlorogenic acid (2), cryptochlorogenic acid (3), panasenoside (4), 및 (6R,7E,9R)-4,7-megastigmadien-3-one-9-${\beta}$-${\small{D}}$-glucopyranoside (5) 로 각각 동정하였다. 본 연구에서 화합물 3과 4는 가지 잎에서 처음으로 분리, 동정하였다.

To investigate the protective effect of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) and its active compound, delphinidin, we used in vitro and cellular system. The active fraction from eggplant, BuOH fraction, showed protective effect from hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in WI-38 fibroblast cells. It suggests that eggplant would have the protective activity from radical-induced oxidative damage and its BuOH fraction would play the crucial role with antioxidative activity. In addition, delphinidin, the active compound from eggplant, exerted the strong 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging effect with $IC_{50}$ value of 6.59 ${\mu}g/mL$. Furthermore, the cellular oxidative stress was induced by 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) in LLC-$PK_1$ cells, while treatment of delphinidin atteunated AAPH-induced oxidative stress as dose-dependent manner. The present study suggests the antioxidative activity of eggplant and delphinidin against free radical-induced oxidative stress.

Tyrosinase was purified from Solanum melongena by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephadex G-150 and DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified tyrosinase was approximately 88,600 daltons with 805 amino acid residues. The amino acid composition showed the characteristic high contents of glycine, glutamic acid and serine residues. The enzyme had high substrate specificity towards (+)-catechin. The $K_m$, value for L-DOPA was 20.8 mM. L-ascorbic acid, ${\beta}-mercapto-ethanol$, sodium diethyldithiocabamate, KCN and $NaN_3$ had strong inhibitory effects on enzyme activity. Sodium diethyldithiocabamate was a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme with a $K_i$ value of $5.2{\times}10^{-2}\;mM$. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 9.0 and the optimum temperature was $65^{\circ}C$ with L-DOPA as a substrate. In addition, the activity was enhanced by addition of $Ca^{+2}$ or $Cu^{+2}$, but decreased in the presence of $Fe^{2+},Fe^{3+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ions.

Abnormal growth of adipocyte characterized by increased cell numbers and differentiation is considered as an major pathological characteristic feature in obesity. Thus, inhibition of mitogenesis of preadipocytes and their differentiation to adipocytes would be beneficial for the prevention and inhibition of obesity. In the present study, we attempted to evaluate anti-adipogenic activity of eggplants (the fruits of Solanum melongena L.) employing preadipocytes cell line, 3T3-L1 as an in vitro assay system. Water extract of eggplants significantly inhibited adipocyte differentiation when treated during adipocyte differentiation process, as assessed by measuring fat accumulation using Oil Red O staining. Eggplant extract, however, showed little effects on fully differentiated adipocytes. Eggplant didn't show significant toxicity up to 500 ${\mu}g$/ml to the 3T3-L1 cells. Further studies with interval treatment demonstrated that eggplant exerted inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation via acting on early stage of adipogenesis. Conclusively, eggplants are suggested to be beneficial for the prevention of obesity.

Objective: To find biological functions such as antibacterial and antioxidant activities in several tropical plants and to investigate the possibility of antibiotic substitute agents to prevent and treat diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. Methods: Plants such as Poncirus trifoliata fruit (Makrut), Zingiber officinale Rosc (Khing), Areca catechu L. (Mak), Solanum melongena L. I (Makkhuayao), and Solanum melongena L. II (Makhurapro) were extracted by methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. The free radical scavenging activities were measured using 2-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl photometric assay. Antibacterial activities with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were observed by agar diffusion assay against pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, Haemopilus parasuis, Clostridium perfringens, and Pantoea agglomerans. Results: Poncirus trifoliata fruit methanol extract showed antibacterial activities against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens. Additionally, this showed the strongest antibacterial activity against Burkholderia sp. and Haemopilus somnus with MIC $131{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Areca catechu L. water extract showed antibacterial activities against Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, and Haemopilus parasuis. The MIC value for Haemopilus parasuis was $105{\mu}g/mL$ in this. Antioxidant activity of Zingiber officinale Rosc n-hexane extract showed 2.23 mg/mL effective concentration 50% ($EC_{50}$) value was the highest activity among tropical plants extracts. Total polyphenol content in Zingiber officinale Rosc methanol extract was $48.4{\mu}g/mL$ and flavonoid content was $22.1{\mu}g/mL$ showed the highest values among tested plants extracts. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that tropical plants used in this study may have a potential benefit as an alternative antibiotics agent through their antibacterial and antioxidant activities.

본 연구는 가지($Solanum$ $melongena$ L.) 과실의 수확 후 품질보전을 위한 기술개발을 목적으로 MAP 저장 중 내 외부 저온장해의 발생에 미치는 1-MCP 및 이산화탄소의 영향을 구명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 가지의 저온장해 증상은 1-MCP 처리 후 4 및 $8^{\circ}C$ 저장구에서 과실의 저온저장기간 경과에 따른 장해의 진전을 현저히 늦추었고 $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구는 $8^{\circ}C$ 저장구에서 10일간 저온장해가 전혀 발생하지 않았고 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장구에서는 현저히 장해의 진전을 늦추었으나 $1^{\circ}C$ 저장 처리구에서의 장해경감 효과는 보이지 않았다. 또한 1-MCP $0.1{\sim}1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 처리구의 경우, 4 및 $8^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 저온저장 후 무처리구에 비해 감모율이 낮고 경도가 높게 유지되는 것으로 조사되어 품질적 측면에서 긍정적 효과를 보였다. 드라이아이스(5g/3과)를 이용하여 MAP 가지에 이산화탄소를 처리하였던 경우, 처리 3일 후에 저온장해가 급격히 증가하였고 1-MCP 처리는 장해의 진전을 막지 못하는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면, 가지 과실의 MAP 저장 시 이산화탄소 흡수제(5g/3과)의 단용처리 및 $1.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도의 1-MCP를 복합처리 하였던 경우, 4 MAP 저장 중 과실의 외부장해는 6일간 전혀 발생하지 않았고 내부장해는 복합처리의 경우 15일간 방지할 수 있었다. 종합적으로 본 연구 결과, 가지 과실에 대한 1-MCP 및 이산화탄소흡수제 처리는 가지 과실의 품질 악화를 지연시키며 유통기간 연장을 위한 저장온도의 범위를 넓혀주는데 실용성이 높다고 판단된다.
