한약재의 불법 유통을 방지하기 위해 신속 정확한 원산지 판별방법 개발이 필요함에 따라 TDU-GC/MS를 이용하여 한국품종 당귀와 외국품종 당귀를 판별함과 동시에 한국품종 당귀의 재배지가 한국인지를 판별할 수 있는 기법을 연구하였다. 당귀추출물을 열탈착 시킨 후 냉각응축시스템에서 응축시켜 일시에 GC/MS로 분석한 결과 국산 품종 당귀(참당귀)는 TIC의 RT 26.9-27.2에서 coumarin 유도체인 decursin과 decursinol peak가 확인되었다. 중국 품종 당귀(중당귀)의 경우 RT 17.2 부근에서 ligustilide의 peak가 검출되었다. 국산 품종 참당귀 원산지에 따른 휘발성분의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 twister로 흡착하여 TDU-GC/MS로 m/z 40-400 amu 범위에서 mass spectrum을 측정하였다. 참당귀의 국내 및 중국 재배 시료 TIC는 전반적으로 같은 경향을 냈으나 TIC를 부분 scan한 결과 RT 15.4-16.1에서 국내 및 중국 재배의 peak pattern 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. Peak A (RT 15.54)과 B (RT 16.05)의 비율은 국내 재배는 0.0-0.2, 중국 재배의 경우 0.5-2.8으로서 TDU-GC/MS의 TIC peak pattern 비교를 통한 원산지 판별 가능성을 확인하였다.

Angelica tenuissima, also known as Ligusticum tenuissimum, is classified as a food-related plant and has been used as traditional medicines treating headache and anemia in Asia. However, its anti-melanogenic effect has not been reported in detail. When the extract of Angelica tenuissima (ATE) was prepared by the extraction with 70% EtOH at $80^{\circ}C$ (final yield = 22%), the contents of decursin and Z-ligustilide in ATE were determined 0.06% and 8.43%, respectively. Total flavonoid and phenolic content in mg ATE were $5.52{\pm}0.07{\mu}g$ quercetin equivalents and $237.27{\pm}13.24{\mu}g$ gallic acid equivalents, respectively. Antioxidant capacity of ATE determined by DPPH and ABTS assay was increased with a dose dependent manner up to $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The amount of melanin synthesis followed by ${\alpha}-melanocyte$ stimulating hormone on B16F10 cells were significantly reduced in the presence of ATE (250 to $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, p<0.05). ATE (125 to $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, p<0.05) suppressed the tyrosinase activity but did not show any significant effect on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity at the same condition. Taken together, ATE possesses tyrosinase inhibitory potential with significant antioxidant capacities. These effects of ATE might be involved in suppression of melanin synthesis, at least, in B16F10 cells. The anti-melanogenic potential of ATE will provide an insight into developing a new skin whitening product.

Angelica acutiloba is one of the most intensively cultivated medicinal plants in Korea. The roots of this plant have been used as an important herbal drug, especially for the treatment of various female disorders, as the traditional therapy in Korea and other Asian countries. Consumption of its fresh leaves as a healthy vegetable has recently increased. In this study, essential oil fractions were extracted from the roots and leaves of this plant by steam distillation. Compositions of the two oils were compared by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antibacterial activities of the essential oil were determined against three strains of Escherichia coli. DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power tests were performed to evaluateits antioxidant activities. The cytotoxic activities of the essential oil against a human breast and a uterine cancer cell line were estimated by MTT tests. Additionally, the morphological changes after treatment of the oil fraction were observed under a microscope. The essential oil fraction and its main components, Z-ligustilide and butylidene phthalide, inhibited the growth of three E. coli strains examined, with minimum inhibiting concentrations (MICs) ranging from 1.0 mg/ml to 8.0 mg/ml. Additionally, the essential oil fraction of A. acutiloba exhibited significant DPPH free radical scavenging activity and reducing power. Significant cytotoxic activities of the A. acutiloba essential oil were observed for human uterine (Hela) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines.

토천궁(L. chuanxiong Hort.)은 산형과(Umbelliferae) 기름 당귀속(Ligusticum)에 속하는 다년생 식물로, 뿌리를 이용하는 효능 및 약리작용으로 인하여 약용 목적으로 재배된다. 입지환경과 생육 특성 및 지표성분과의 상관관계를 파악한다면 보다 명확한 토천궁의 임간 재배환경 조건을 확립할 수 있을 것이며, 사회·경제적으로 관심이 증가하고 있는 고품질의 단기소득임산물 생산을 위한 기초자료를 확보할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 기후변화에 대응하여 토천궁의 기후대별 입지환경과 생육 특성 및 성분 함량과의 상관관계를 구명하여 최적의 재배환경에 대한 정보를 제공하는데 있다. 기후대별 입지환경 차이에 따른 토천궁의 특성을 비교하기 위해 온대 남부의 경상남도 함양군 삼봉산, 온대중부의 경상북도 봉화군 미림산, 온대북부의 강원도 정선군 가리왕산에 각 시험지를 선정하였고, 토천궁을 이식해 생육 특성, 토양 이화학성 분석, 기후 측정, 지표성분 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 정선의 토천궁 생중량 및 건중량이 49.08 g 및 20.89 g으로 가장 높았으며, 근장 및 근직경도 각각 22.79 cm 및 52.46 mm로 함양과 봉화보다 높았다. 유효성분 함량은 정선에서 senkynolid A, z-ligustilide, chlorogenic acid, trans-ferulic acid 총 함량이 21.59 mg/g으로 높게 나타났다. 토천궁의 수량과 성분특성은 생육 환경에 영향을 받으며, 해발고가 높고 기온이 낮으며 토양 수분함량이 적은 지역에서 재배하는 것이 유효성분 함량과 생산량 증가에 유리하다고 사료된다. 본 연구는 환경조건과 생육 특성 및 지표성분 함량과의 상관관계에 대한 자료로써 산림 내 재배환경의 확립 및 연구의 기초가 될 것으로 판단된다.

Backgrounds: Danggui, one of the major herbs in Korean traditional medicine consists of three species: Angelica gigas of Korea, Angelica sinensis of China, and Angelica acutiloba of Japan. Despite its importance in Korean traditional medicine, recognition of the clinical differences between its three species is insufficient. Objectives: The purpose of the present review is to suggest evidence in using Angelica gigas, Angelica sinensis, and Angelica acutiloba distinctively in clinic, by comparing their pharmacological effects and bioactive compounds. Methods: We searched articles published from 2000 to 2009 in Pubmed, EMbase, and RISS. The search keywords were "Angelica gigas", "Angelica sinensis", "Angelica acutiloba", "dongquei", "toki", "Angelicae Radix", "Archangelica officinalis Hoffm.", "Garden Angelica", "Chinese angelica root", "tangkuei", and "danggui". 861 articles were searched. Among them, we selected 143 articles which met our inclusion criteria. Results: This review summarizes active constituents, experimental studies, clinical studies, pharmacokinetics, side effects and toxicity, drug interaction, and industrial use of Angelica gigas, Angelica sinensis, and Angelica acutiloba. Conclusions: While Angelica sinensis and Angelica acutiloba are relatively similar, Angelica gigas is quite different from the others in main active constituents and genetic form. The main experimental studies of Danggui are cardiovascular studies, central nervous system studies and anti-cancer activity. Even though there were cases in which the three species show similar pharmacological effects, the mechanism was not always shared. Therefore, distinguished use of Angelica gigas, Angelica sinensis and Angelica acutiloba is needed.

Objectives : The biological activities and compound contents of herbal medicine vary depending on manufacturing processes. In this study, we compared anti-inflammatory effects and compound contents of three kinds of multi-herbal extract HT008 produced by different manufacturing processes in order to determine chemical and biological equivalence. Methods : HT008 was produced by three different manufacturing methods: 1. Freeze dried extract of Eleutherococcus senticosus, Scutellaria baicalensis and Angelica sinensis (HT008 FD), 2. Spray dried extract of E. senticosus and S. baicalensis combined with reflux extract of A. sinensis (HT008 SD), 3. Spray dried extract of E. senticosus and S. baicalensis combined with supercritial fluid extract of A. sinensis (HT008 SF). Anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated using acetic acid induced pain model and ${\lambda}$-carageenan induced paw edema model. Compound contents were evaluated by HPLC quantitative analysis of standard compounds of HT008, eleutheroside E, baicalin, z-ligustilide. Results : HT008 FD, HT008 SD and HT008 SF significantly decreased acetic acid induced pain index and ${\lambda}$-carrageenan induced paw edema volume compared with that of control group. There was no significant difference in efficacy among the HT008 FD, HT008 SD and HT008 SF. Standard compound contents of HT008 FD, HT008 SD and HT008 SF were quantified within the range of Korean pharmacopoeia or other research. Conclusions : Three different manufacturing methods of multi-herbal extracts have been developed without noticeable difference in the efficacy or compound contents. The results might be used to establish manufacturing process and industrialization of herbal extracts.
