Analytical methods for detecting atranol, chloroatranol, evernic acid, (+)-usnic acid, and atranorin in sanitary napkins and mouthwashes were developed using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). UHPLC-MS/MS conditions were optimized for rapid, sensitive, and simultaneous analysis of the five allergenic compounds. The methods were validated by assessing their specificity, matrix effects, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity, accuracy, and precision. Good linearity was achieved with a determination coefficient of ≥0.99. The LOD and LOQ were 2.1-9.8 and 6.4-29.6 ng/g for sanitary napkins and 0.29-0.48 and 0.87-1.45 ng/mL for mouthwashes, respectively. The accuracy and precision were within an acceptable range according to the criteria reported in the European SANTE/11813/2017 guidelines (70-120 % recovery, <20 % relative standard deviation). Therefore, these methods can be used to analyze atranol, chloroatranol, evernic acid, (+)-usnic acid, and atranorin in sanitary napkins and mouthwashes.

옻나무는 옻오름 같은 알러지 반응으로 인해 식품으로의 활용이 제한되므로 이러한 알러지 반응을 완화시키기 위하여 갈근 추출물과 혼합하여 알러지 억제효과를 평가하였으며, 알러지를 유발시키는 성분의 변화를 측정하여 화학적 구조변화 및 생물학적 알러지 반응 억제 양상을 관찰하였다. 이에 갈근 추출물에 대한 옻나무 추출물의 알러지 반응 완화효과를 RBL-2H3 세포에서 ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase의 양을 측정하여 평가하였으며, 갈근 추출물에서 매우 우수한 억제효능을 나타내었다. 또한, 갈근 추출물을 혼합한 결과 양성대조군 ketotifen보다 다소 우수한 효능이 나타났다. 옻나무 추출물의 알러지 유발물질 확인하고, 갈근과 혼합 추출 하였을 때의 알러지 유발물질 함량변화를 평가하기 위하여 GC/MS 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 4종의 알러지 유발물질을 확인할 수 있었으며, 갈근 추출물과 혼합시 알러지 유발물질은 그 함량이 적어지거나 소멸되었다. 따라서, 갈근과 혼합하여 추출하였을 때 함량이 낮아지거나 소멸되는 알러지 유발물질 4종에 대하여 탈과립 억제 효능을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 옻의 알러지 유발물질 4종으로부터 알러지를 유도한 RBL-2H3 세포에서 탈과립화 억제효능 양상이 유사하였으며, 이를 통해 갈근 추출물은 항알러지 효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 효능을 통하여 옻과 갈근을 혼합하여 추출한 복합추출물의 경우 옻의 문제점인 알러지 반응을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Lichens are composite organisms consisting of a symbiotic association of a fungus with a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont or phycobiont), usually either a green alga or cyanobacterium. According to more recent studies, the biological activities of lichens and lichen substances include an antibiotic activity, antitumor and antimutagenic activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), allergenic activity, plant growth inhibitory activity, and enzyme inhibitory activity. This study screened lichen extracts with a potent in vitro antifungal activity against plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi. The compounds were isolated from Stereocaulon alpinum and Sphaerophorus globosus, and their chemical structures were identified as methyl hematommate, methyl β-orsellinate, 5-hydroxyferulic acid, sphaerophorin, and 2-heptyl-4,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid by electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral analyses. In vitro disease control against Alternaria mali, Cochliobolus miyabeanus, Colletotrium gloeosporioides, and Verticillum dahliae was evaluated. And among the five compounds, only methyl hematommate was effective against A. mali, C. miyabeanus, and C. gloeosporioides. The compounds were isolated from these lichens, which have a similar biosynthetic pathway, respectively. This is the first report of these compounds being isolated from these lichens.

Rubia cordifolia has been used to treat diseases for many years in China and India. Although the biological properties and major compounds of R. cordifolia have been extensively studied, the underlying mechanisms of its biological effects remain elusive. In terms of immunological effects, anti-inflammation effect of macrophage (Raw 264.7) simply has been reported. In this study, R. cordifolia was extracted in 70% ethanol and the extract did not affect to macrophage (Raw 264.7) pro-inflammation and T cell (Molt-4). However, in mast cell (RBL-2H3), it showed inhibition of degranulation. The inducing inhibitory effect on degranulation was related to concentration dependent variation in phosphorylation of ERK-1/2 and upregulating the JNK phosphorylation in RBL-2H3 cells. Based on these data, we concluded that R. cordifolia newly have anti-allergenic effects in RBL-2H3 and might be used as a therapeutic agent to treat or prevent allergic diseases such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.

한외여과법을 이용하여 봉독의 알러지 원인성분인 $PLA_2$를 제거하기 위하여 압력, 농도, 분자크기의 영향을 조사하였다. 봉독의 주요성분 분자량을 바탕으로 한외여과막의 투과크기를 선정하고 농도와 압력을 달리하였다. 그 결과, melittin과 apamin 함량은 유지되면서 $PLA_2$를 제거하는 최적조건(1 mg/mL, 20 psi, 10,000 dalton)을 찾았으며, 이를 HPLC와 SDS-PAGE로 확인하였다.
