Objects : This study aimed to identify the origin species of Ulmi Cortex and Ulmi Semen Pasta. Methods : I searched for different types of 'Yu(楡)' from Zhong Xiu Zheng Huo Jing Shi Zheng Lei Bei Yong Ben Cao (重修政和經史證類備用本草) of the Song Dynasty, then compared the descriptions of Yu with real life species. Items that were inconsistent were sequentially deleted to finally find the original species that satisfies all conditions. Results : There were five types of Yu : Jiyu(地楡), Jayu(刺楡), Langyu(郞楡), Goyu(姑楡), and Baekyu(白楡). Jiyu was Sanguisorba officinalis or Sanguisorba officinalis var. longifolia which was a herb. Jayu was Hemiptelea davidii (Hance) Planch. which had thorns on its branches. Ulmus laciniata had leaves that split into three branches. Langyu was Ulmus parvifolia which beared fruit in the fall. For these reasons, the four items above were ruled out. The fruit of Goyu was Ulmi Semen Pasta, which was the largest among fruits and was therefore Ulmus macrocarpa. The fruit of Baekyu was Yuhyup(楡莢) and the ancient coin Yuhyupjeon(楡莢錢) was resembled Yuhyup. The normal pulse of the lung resembled the appearance of falling Yuhyup. The peel of Baekyu was Yubaekpi(楡白皮), and when it was removed from coarse bark, contained an abundance of white sap; the place where this sap overflowed on the stem bark was white, therefore Baekyu was identified as Ulmus pumila. Conclusions : From the results above, the origin species of Ulmi cortex was Ulmus pumila and the origin species of Ulmi Semen Pasta was Ulmus macrocarpa.

Objectives : This study was performed to find best extraction solvent for application of Ulmi cortex to food or herbal medicine as an antioxidant only using water, ethanol and their mixtures. Methods : The Ulmi cortex extracts were prepared using water and 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% (v/v) ethanol, and were evaluated yields, total polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, lipid peroxidation activities, and catechin and epicatechin contents. Results : Among the Ulmi cortex extracts, the yield was highest in water extract (8.9%) and lowest in ethanol extract (3.8%). The yield of 30% ethanol extract (8.5%) also was very high to similar with water extract. The total polyphenol content was highest in the 30% ethanol extract ($253.6{\mu}g/mg$ extract) and lowest in water extract ($109.0{\mu}g/mg$ extract). The DPPH radical scavenging activity was highest in ethanol extract (IC50, $8.53{\mu}g/ml$), ABTS radical scavenging activity was highest in 60% ethanol extract (IC50, $3.08{\mu}g/ml$), and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation was highest in 70% ethanol extract (IC50, $7.96{\mu}g/ml$). As ethanol content of extraction solvent increased from 0% to 30%, the antioxidant activities were remarkably increased whereas from 30% to 100%, the antioxidant activities were increased or decreased a little. Conclusions : The findings of the present study suggest that 30% ethanol is best solvent for extraction of Ulmi cortex, considering yield, polyphenol content, and antioxidant activities with extraction cost.

유근피(Cortex ulmi pumilae)는 항산화, 항염증, 항균, 항암 등 다양한 생리활성이 보고되어 있으며, 뛰어난 소염효과로 예로부터 약재로 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 3T3-L1 지방전구세포를 이용하여 유근피 추출물의 지방세포 분화에 미치는 영향과 그 기전을 검토하였다. 유근피 추출물을 분화유도제와 동시에 처리한 결과, 3T3-L1 지방전구세포의 세포질 내 triglyceride 생성을 농도의존적으로 감소시켰으며, 지방세포분화 관련 전사인자인 $C/EBP{\alpha}$, $C/EBP{\beta}$ 및 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 발현을 유의적으로 저하시켰다. 다음으로 유근피 추출물을 지방세포 분화 유도 단계별로 처리한 결과, 분화유도제와 동시에 처리한 경우 즉 분화 초기에 처리한 경우가 가장 효과적인 지방세포 분화 억제효능을 보였으며, 이 때 분화초기에 발현되는 $C/EBP{\beta}$의 발현량은 현저하게 감소되었다. 또한 유근피 추출물에 의해 mitotic clonal expansion 단계의 세포증식이 농도의존적으로 억제되는 것을 확인하였으며, 세포주기분석을 통해 G1 arrest를 유발함으로써 증식이 억제 된다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, G1 arrest는 G1/S 전이 관련 단백질인 p21의 발현 증가, cyclin E의 발현 감소 및 Rb의 인산화 감소에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구결과들로부터 유근피 추출물은 지방세포 분화 초기 단계에 작용하여 지방세포 분화 관련 전사인자의 발현을 억제하고 mitotic clonal expansion을 저해하여, 지방전구세포의 지방세포로의 분화를 억제하는 항비만 효능을 가지는 천연소재임을 확인하였으며, 따라서 본 연구는 향후 이를 활용한 지속적인 연구를 위한 기초자료로 그 가치가 매우 높을 것이라 생각된다.

The combined effects of Ulmi Cortex and some anti-cancer drugs on the proliferation of HeLa cells, Hep G2 cells and S 180 cells were estimated by MTT calorimetric assay. The n-BuOH fraction(UBF) of Ulmi Cortex inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cell at $10^{-3}\;g/ml$, Hep G2 cell at $10^{-5}\;g/ml$ and S 180 cell at $10^{-3}\;g/ml$. The inhibitory effects of mitomycin C(MMC), cisplatin(CPT) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), respectively, on Hep G2 cell was increased by the UBF. The UBF did not influence the proliferation of Balb/c 3T3 cells at concentrations of $10^{-6}$ to $10^{-4}\;g/ml$, but increased the proliferation of T cells at concentrations of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-4}\;g/ml$. The UBF did not influence the number of leukocyte, and on the thymus weight of mice. The UBF increased the number of total-peritoreal cells of mice. In conclusion, the results suggest that the UBF have anti-cancer activity without the side effect, such as leukopenia and immunosuppresion, and increase the inhibitory activity of the anti-cancer drugs on Hep G2 cells.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Ulmi Pumilae cortex extracts on acute reflux esophagitis rats induced by pylorus and forestomach ligation operation. 40 rats were divided into five groups; Normal group, Sham group, Control group, T1 group and T2 group. 4 groups has a laparotomy after controled 2weeks and sham group, T1 group, T2 group has ligation in stomach. After laparotomy, all group`s body weight, gastric volume, gastric juice PH, SOD activities, catalase activities, lipid peroxidation, total glutathione, the effects on esophageal and stomach mucosa damage were checked. There was significant statistical differences between control group and Ulmi Pumilae cortex extracts adminitration groups(T1 and T2 group) in terms of gastric volume decreasing. Also, adminitration groups has significant effect than control group in decreasing mucosa damage. SOD(superoxide dismutase) and catalase activities has a significant statistical differences between control group and T2 group not in T1 group. These results suggest that the medication of Ulmi Pumilae cortex extracts is effective for the treatment of acute reflux esophagitis in terms of decerasing gastric volume and mucosa damage. Especially, the results were shown to be more positive in High-dose administration group (T2 group) than in Low-dose administration group (T1 group) in SOD and catalase activities.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to identify active fraction and components from antiplatelet Ulmi cortex extract. Methods : The 70% ethanol extract of Ulmi cortex was subjected to column chromatography over D101 resin and eluted with an 20% (W1), 30% (W2), 40% (W3), 50%(W4), 70% (W5), and 100% ethanol (W6) to yield 6 fractions. W6 was further fractioned and its active components were purified using semi-preparative HPLC. The isolated compounds were identified by MS and NMR, and their contents were simultaneously analyzed using HPLC/UV. Antiplatelet aggregation activities of the fractions and the compounds were evaluated using rat platelet-rich plasma in presence of collagen ($5{\mu}g/ml$), arachidonic acid (0.05 U/ml), or thrombin ($100{\mu}M$). Results : Among six fractions, W3 prominently inhibited platelet aggregation. At the concentration of $200{\mu}g/ml$, W3 strongly inhibited arachidonic acid- and collagen-induced platelet aggregations by 78.2% and 65.9%, respectivley, and weakly inhibited thrombin-inducded platelet aggregation by 32.6%. Catechin, epicatehin, and catechin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside were isolated from W3 and their contents were revealed to be 15.1%, 0.87%, and 0.32%. Catechin and epicatechin at the concentrations of $100{\mu}M$ strongly inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation by 79.9% and 86.6%, respectively, but weakly inhibited arachidonic acid- and thrombin-induced platelet aggregations. Conclusions : A main active principle of anitplatelet Ulmi Cortex extract is W3 fraction, of which main active component is catechin considering its antiplatelet activity and content.
