Objective : These experiments were designed to investigate the effects of Strychni Ignatii Semen on the gastrointestinal system and declining of toxicity. About experiments of acute toxicity, I investigated the quantity of Strychni $(C_{21}H_{22}N_2O_2)\;and\;LD_{50}$. In order to study the effects on gastrointestinal tract, I investigated the changes of gastric juice, discharging level of pepsin, inhibiting effects of ulceration, and transporting of intestine. Methods : Sample I : No making Strychni Ignatii Semen Sample II : Depositing for three days in water and then dry it. Sample III : Depositing for one hour in sesame oil and bum it. The results were as follows : 1. The average values of Strychnine decreased in Sample III. 2. The levels of $LD_{50}$ increased in Sample Ⅲ by about 70%. 3. In Sample III, inhibiting effects of ulceration and discharging level of pepsin were great. 4. In the level of gastric juice decreased in Sample I.II.III. 5. The transporting ability of large intestine elevated in Sample I.II.III. According to the results, making Strychni Ignatii Semen, especially Sample 3, toxicity decreased and has good effects on the gastrointestinal system.

Objectives: This study aims to review the herbal medicines containing substances banned by World Anti-Doping Agency(WADA), and to consider criteria for the using of herbal medicines. Methods: Using foreign(Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar, WANFANG, CiNii) and domestic databases (NDSL, OASIS, RISS), we analyzed the content and pharmacokinetics of the prohibited substances in herbal medicines. Results: Herbal medicines containing the prohibited substances proposed in Korea, China, and Japan are Ephedrae Herba, Cannabis Semen, Strychni Semen, Strychni Ignatii Semen, Pinelliae Tuber, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Chelidonii Herba, Papaveris Fructus Deseminatus, Liriopis Tuber, Rehmanniae Radix Recens, Cistanchis Herba, Ponciri Fructus Immaturus, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Moschus, Testudinis Plastrum, Otariae Testis et Penis, and Hominis Placenta. Of these, when using Ephedrae Herba, Cannabis Semen, Strychni Semen, Moschus, Strychni Ignatii Semen, and Otariae Testis et Penis, caution is needed in relation to the doping test. Other herbal medicines are considered safe for the doping test. In addition, by analyzing data related to higenamine added to the WADA's prohibited list of doping since 2017, we don't recommend using Nelumbinis Plumula. And in the case of the other herbal medicines containing higenamine, it is considered that care should be taken in doping test depending on the amount of usage. Conclusions: As a result of analyzing the herbal medicines which are in prohibited list about doping, we were able to know the criteria and precautions to use when prescribing the herbal medicines. Further research will be needed about common used herbal medicines and the amount of detection depending on extraction and boiling method.

This study was investigated the residual contents of sulfur dioxide on the 373 kinds of herbal medicine distributed from Korea, China, and Japan. A modified Monier-Williams method was described for the determination of $SO_{2}$ contents in herbal medicines. The residual contents of $SO_{2}$ were not detected at 221 products$(59.8{\%})$ in total 373 products. Regardless of region, $SO_{2}$ contents were not found at Farfarae Flos, Zizyphi Spinosi Semen, Castanea crenata, and Strychni Ignatii Semen. But it's found at Asparagi Radix, Codonopsitis Radix, Lilii Bulbus, and Kaempferiae Rhizoma of every region collected the samples. Also, $SO_{2}$ contents were not detected at the herbal medicines which collected cultural fields of dometic. $SO_{2}$ contents ranged 11$\~$3990 mg/kg(mean 152 mg/kg) at domestic samples, 11$\~$3440 mg/kg(mean 603 mg/kg) at imported samples. After treated with water wash and hot water extraction, the reduction rates of sulfur dioxide were appeared with $24.4{\%}\~68.7{\%}\;and\;83.8{\%}\~100.0{\%},$ respectively. These data will be used to establish a criteron of residual sulfur dioxide in herbal medicines.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Bo-du-san (BOS) on apoptosis in human gastric cancer cells, SNU-l cells. BOS, a drug preparation consisting of two herbs, that is, Crotonis Fructus (Strychni ignatii Semen, bodu in Korean) and Glycyrrhizae Radix (Glycyrrhizae uralensis FISCH, Gamcho in Korean). Methodss : In this study, methanol extract of BOS was examined for cytotoxic activity on human gastric cancer cells, SNU-1 cells, using XTT assay, with an IC50 value was 0.7 mg/ml and 0.3 mg/ml at 24 hrs and 48 hrs, respectively. Apoptosis induction by BDS in SNU-l cells was verified by the induction of DNA fragmentation, cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), and activation of caspase-3, -8 and -9. Inhibitors of caspase-3, -8 and -9 (Ac-DEVD-CHO, Z-IETD-FMK and Z-LEHD-FMK) efficiently blocked BOS-induced cell death of SNU-l. Resultss : BOS-induced cell death was via caspase dependent apoptosis. Moreover, treatment of BOS result in the decrease the G1/S cycle regulation proteins (cyclin D1 and E) expression and increase CDK inhibitor proteins (p21 and p27) expression, and increase apoptotic protein, p53 expression. Thus, BOS induces apoptosis in SNU-1 cells via cell cycle arrested in G1 phase. Conclusions : These results indicated that BOS has some potential for use as an anti-cancer agent.

아플라톡신은 Aspergillus flavus와 A. parasiticus.에 의해 생성되는 독소대사산물로 강력한 발암성물질로서 땅콩, 옥수수, 쌀, 보리 등 탄수화물이 주성분인 곡류가 그 기질로 알려져 있으며 생약에서도 검출된 보고가 있다. 본 연구는 아플라톡신($B_1$, $B_2$, $G_1$, $G_2$) 모니터링을 통해 생약의 곰팡이 독소 허용 기준 마련을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 모니터링을 위해 국내(5개 지역)와 중국(2개 지역)에서 유통 중인 생약 50품목의 558시료를 수거하였다. 수거한 시료는 관능검사를 거쳐 적합한 시료를 선정하여 실험에 사용하였다. 아플라톡신 분석은 시료를 70% 메탄올로 추출하여 면역친화성 칼럼으로 정제한 후, 칼럼 후 유도체화 장치(PHRED)가 장착된 HPLC-FLD로 분석하였다. 아플라톡신 분석을 위해 시험법을 검증하였다. 그 결과 검출한계와 정량한계는 각각 $0.0l5{\sim}0.138\;{\mu}g/kg$, $0.046{\sim}0.418\;{\mu}g/kg$였으며 회수율은 67.4~96.2%로 나타났다. 검증된 시험법으로 국내와 중국에서 유통 중인 생약을 대상으로 모니터링한 결과, 생약 2건(보두, 호미카)에서 아플라톡신($B_1$, $G_1$)이 검출되었다. 보두에서는 아플라톡신 $B_1$이 1.7 ${\mu}g/kg$, $G_1$이 0.9 ${\mu}g/kg$이 검출되었고, 호미카에서는 $G_1$이 0.8 ${\mu}g/kg$ 검출되었다. 또한 생약의 주복용 형태인 탕액으로 조제 하였을 때, 아플라톡신의 이행정도를 알아보고자 생약에 아플라톡신을 오염시키고 무 압력과 압력 조건에서 열수 추출 하였다. 탕액 조제시 아플라톡신의 이행률은 무압력 조건에서 13.6~51.3%였다.
