Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, Korean herb medicine, has been widely used in China and Japan for fatigue and enhancement of resistance to many diseases. In this study, we investigated the synergistic effect of Korean red ginseng and Fagopyrum esculentum extracts (RGFE) on dermal bioactive properties. RGFE treatment significantly increased electron donating ability, nitrite scavenging activity and collagenase inhibitory activity compared to red ginseng-treated group. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in RGFE-treated group was similar to that of red ginseng. However, tyrosinase activity as indicator of melanin synthesis was not affected by RGFE or red ginseng. The results indicate that RGFE has anti-oxidative property and inhibitory effect of collagenase, and it may serve as a effective ingredient for beauty food.

Oxidative stress has been reported to be one of causes of neuritis. This study examined antioxidative activities of methanol extracts of six amphibian species known to be medicinal animals (Rana catesbeiana, R. coreana, R. rugosa, R. dybowskii, R. nigromaculata, and Hyla japonica) and investigated their effects of inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production and cytotoxicity on the murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. As inflammation is closely associated with reactive oxygen species, assays on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity and NO scavenging activity of the extracts of the six species were performed to investigate their antioxidative activity. The results obtained were as follows; All extracts showed antioxidative activity, and the activity of R. dybowskii was the highest in comparison among those. Anti-inflammatory effects of the extracts were also examined, the five extracts except that of R. rugosa did not show cytotoxicity for RAW264.7 cells at the maximal concentration ($1,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$). Selectivity index, meaning NO scavenging activity compared to cytotoxicity, showed the highest level in the extract of R. dybowskii. These results will be very useful basic data for future studies on prevention and treatment of human diseases to understand the biological roles of amphibian extracts throughout the antioxidative or anti-inflammatory pathways.

Nepeta sibirica L. or Siberian catmint is a medicinal plant species used in Mongolian traditional medicine for curing human different disorders and veterinary practices. The previous study of the whole plant concentrated on the determination of its essential oil composition and reported that the major ones are sesquiterpenes, including nepetalactone. The aim of this study was to reveal a new biological activity of the above-ground parts of N. sibirica L. and compare the activity of different extracts correlating with the content of biologically active compounds and evaluate their toxicity. For this purpose, anti-oxidative and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of the above-ground parts of N. sibirica L. aqueous and ethanol (EtOH) (40%, 70%) extracts were assayed spectrophotometrically. The aqueous extract showed positive anti-oxidative activity by both tested DPPH and FRAP assays with IC₅₀ 134.24 ± 1.42 mg/mL and FRAP value 1385.15 ± 8.12 µmol/L at 200 ㎍/mL, in contrast to 40% and 70% EtOH extracts. The 70% EtOH extract presented the highest acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (IC₅₀ 77.29 ± 0.38 mg/mL) followed by 40% EtOH extract (176.72 ± 0.35 mg/mL) and aqueous extract (275.41 ± 0.23 mg/mL). Total phenolics were found to be gallic acid equivalent, % 3.74 ± 0.05 (70% EtOH), 3.94 ± 0.04 (40% EtOH), and 3.79 ± 0.16 (aqueous), whereas the total flavonoids as a rutin equivalent, % as 2.01 ± 0.12, 1.44 ± 0.17 and 1.99 ± 0.02, each. The aqueous extract showed the best anti-oxidative and lowest activity against the acetylcholinesterase; however, the 70% EtOH extract showed the opposite effects than that of the aqueous. No mortality incidence was visible at various doses, indicating that the oral median lethal dose of aqueous and 70% EtOH extracts were considered greater than 5000 mg/kg. N. sibirica L. belongs to the non-toxic category of the OECD 423 classification.

This study aims to compare and analyze a willow tree (Salix Koreensis andersson) extract's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity by investigating its: total polyphenol, flavonoid content, SOD-like activity, DPPH vitality. the willow tree was induced with LPS to determine its active anti-inflammatory effects. as a result, the willow methanol extract showed a higher total polyphenol and flavonoid content than those of willow distilled water extract, but the willow distilled water extract showed a higher SOD than that of willow methanol extract. in its DPPH scavenging ability, the willow methanol extract's antioxidant activity was higher than that of the willow distilled water extract. the willow extract's measurements such as the production of NO, inflammatory cytokine ($TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6 measurement) were significantly reduced as its concentration level went down. according to the research outcomes, when induced, he will extract's macrophage produces mediator-like substances such as NO and inflammatory cytokine that can be used to alleviate the inflammatory response. therefore, the willow tree proved to be a useful raw plant material for the products designed to combat inflammatory activities due to its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory response substances such as NO and cytokine.

Objectives : The present study purposed to compare the antioxidant effect, anti inflammatory effect and cancer cell multiplication inhibition effect of Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui aqueous extract according to extraction temperature. Methods : We medicated animal models, which had experimental oxidation, with Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui total extract and $50^{\circ}C$ low temperature leachate, and performed hematological analysis and blood chemical analysis with measuring SOD, GSH, catalase, NO and MDA content in the liver. In addition, we made comparative observation of anti inflammatory effect and anti-cancer effect. Results : Compared to the control group, both the group medicated with Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui total extract and with $50^{\circ}C$ low-temperature leachate were found to decrease the number of thrombocytes in blood plasma and NO content while to increase SOD activity and catalase activity significantly. Both groups also showed anti-inflammatory effect against THP-1 cells and a multiplication inhibition effect against liver cancer cells and stomach cancer cells significantly. Conclusions : Both Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui total extract and Fructificatio Inonoti Obliqui $50^{\circ}C$ low-temperature leachate have significant antioxidant effect, anti inflammatory effect and anti cancer effect.

본 연구에서는 한약재로 사용되고 있는 산초 과피 추출물의 기능성 소재로서의 활용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 산초 추출물 및 분획물이 보유한 항산화, 미백 및 항염증 활성을 in vitro assay system 및 cell culture model system을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 산초 MeOH, EtOH, 열수 추출물 모두 강한 DPPH radical 소거 활성 및 tyrosinase 효소 활성 저해를 통한 DOPA 산화 억제능을 보였다. B16F10 mouse melanoma cell을 이용하여 ${\alpha}$-MSH에 의해 유도된 세포 내 melanin 생성에 미치는 산초 추출물의 영향을 알아본 결과 농도의존적인 melanin 생성 억제능을 보였고 세포의 tyrosinase 활성 저해능 또한 이와 일치하는 결과를 보여 산초 추출물에 의한 melanin 생성 억제능이 tyrosinase 효소 활성 억제 및 melanogenesis 관련 단백질 발현 저해에서 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell을 이용하여 산초 추출물의 항염증 활성을 분석한 결과 농도의존적인 NO 생성 저해능을 보였으며 이는 NO 생성 단백질인 iNOS의 발현 저해에서 기인함을 단백질 발현 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 산초 추출물에 존재하는 활성물질을 규명하기 위해 용매 분획을 실시한 후 각 분획물의 미백 및 항염증 활성을 비교 분석한 결과 물 층을 제외한 모든 용매 분획이 활성을 보유함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 산초 추출물이 높은 항산화능과 미백활성, 그리고 항염증 활성을 보유함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 결과는 미백활성을 비롯한 생리활성 보유 천연물 소재 탐구의 기초자료로 유용하게 쓰일 것으로 사료된다.

티트리오일 2종과 편백나무에서 추출한 천연오일을 합성방부제인 methylparaben과 항균력을 비교하였다. 대상 균주로 그람양성균인 S. aureus (KCTC 1916)와 그람음성균인 E. coli (KCTC 2571)와 P. aeruginosa (KCTC 2513)를 사용하였으며, 진균류인 C. albicans (KCTC 7965)와 A. niger (KCTC 6911), 그리고 여드름균인 P. acnes (KCTC 3314)를 사용하였다. 그람양성균의 항균력실험에서 천연오일은 합성방부제보다 우수한 항균활성을 보였으며, 그람음성균에서는 유사한 정도의 활성을 나타내었다. 특히, 진균과 여드름균에 대해서는 합성물질에 비해 천연오일에서 월등한 활성을 볼 수 있었다. 실험군에서 항균력은 티트리오일 > methylparaben > 편백정유의 순으로 나타났다. 또한, DPPH 법에 의한 항산화실험과 lipoxygenase를 이용한 항염증실험을 통해 천연오일의 항산화 및 항염증 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 실험결과, 천연오일은 널리 사용되고 있는 화학적인 방부제나 항산화제를 충분히 대체할 수 있으리라 기대된다.
