  • A major portion of drugs used in Ayurvedic system of medicine which has been practiced since the early human civilization in Indian subcontinent were of plant origin. It should be noted that 70% of the population in this region depends on Ayurveda for their medical treatment and 60% of the drug resources are obtained from the Himalayan region. Therefore, Nepal becomes a potential source of plant drug resource since it occupies a major portion of the Himalaya. In the present paper, in general a current status of medicinal plant resources of Himalayan region especially Nepal will be discussed. In addition to this, a typical example of antidiabetic activity of Shilajit will be taken for the discussion. Shilajit is one of the crucial elements in several formulations including those of Rasayana, a therapy in Ayurveda, which has been practiced in the prevention of ageing and mental disorder. Although, Shilaiit is widely used for the treatment of diabetes, no satisfactory scientific reports are available up to now. The crude Shilajit in the market is a dark brown or black rock-like substance collected from the Himalayan region with a strong smell of cow's stale urine. In our studies, Shilajit (collected in the central Himalayan region) prevented the diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice model. Shilajit also prevented the diabetes in the rats against the action of multiple low-dose (10 ㎎/㎏, i.v., 5 times) of streptozotocin. On the other hand, Shilajit did not show antioxidative activity. The preventive action of Shilajit on diabetes is mainly focused on the Th1 and Th2 cell activities, since Th2 cells activity was found to be significantly upregulated. Shilajit, however, showed a mild action in controlling the blood sugar level in young, old, and mild diabetic rats, but not in the severe diabetic rats. It also stimulated the nitric oxide production in macrophages. Based on these evidences, the antidiabetic activities of Shilajit appear to be immunomodulative probably by protecting or strengthening insulin-producing b-cells In the pancreas. further systematic research on constituents of Shilajit and its quality evaluation is necessary to enable the use of natural medicines in the treatment of diabetes.

  • Objectives : This study examined the inhibitory effects of Wisaengtang(WST) on inflammatory mediators($NF-{\kappa}B$, COX-2, iNOS, IL-6) in cellular inflammatory responses induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS). Methods : To investigate the cytotoxicity of WST, MTT assay was used. The inhibitory effects of inflammatory mediators were confirmed by real-time PCR and DPPH scavenging activity was measured to confirm the antioxidative effect. Results : When the $NF-{\kappa}B$ mRNA expression was inhibited, the levels of COX-2, iNOS, and IL-6 mRNA in the inflammatory response decreased significantly. iNOS is involved in the production of nitric oxide (NO), and it is confirmed that WST inhibits the expression of iNOS mRNA and thus the production of NO. Conclusions : These results suggest that WST can be a therapeutic substance for oxidation and inflammation through elimination of DPPH free radical and inhibition of $NF-{\kappa}B$ activity.

  • Ixeris repens is a type of halophyte that grows in high salinity sands found in coastal sand dunes and sandy shores. This study was conducted to investigate the contents, antioxidant potency, and physiological activities of I. repens. In analyses of general composition, carbohydrate, protein, ash, and moisture content were 57.42%, 10.48%, 11.99% and 10.29%, respectively. Potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium were its most prevalent minerals. The solvents used to extract I. repens were 70% ethanol, 80% methanol, and distilled water. Among the resultant extracts, ethanol and methanol extracts displayed higher total polyphenol and flavonoid contents than the water extract. ABTS (IC50, 0.12 mg/mL) and FRAP (0.77 mM) radical scavenging activity were highest in the water extract, while methanol extract exhibited the strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50, 1.32 mg/mL), NO scavenging activity (IC50, 4.10 mg/mL), and reducing power (EC50, 0.14 mg/mL). Tyrosinase, elastase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were highest in the ethanol extract. The ethanol extract also possessed the most potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. These results indicate that I. repens may be useful as an antioxidant, and a functional substance in food and pharmaceutical materials.

  • Objective: Aging roosters typically exhibit subfertility with decreasing semen quality, furthermore Thai native roosters reared in rural areas are raised for a longer duration than their usual lifespan. The present study therefore aimed to assess the effect of selenium supplementation as an antioxidative substance in diets to improve the semen cryopreservation of aged roosters. Methods: Semen samples were collected from young (n = 20) and aged (n = 20) Thai native roosters (Pradu Hang Dum) at 36 and 105 weeks of age when starting the experiment, respectively. They were fed diets either non-supplemented or supplemented with selenium (0.75 ppm). Fresh semen quality and lipid peroxidation of fresh semen was evaluated before cryopreservation using the traditional liquid nitrogen vapor method. Post-thaw sperm quality and fertility potential were determined. Results: Advancing age is unrelated to decreasing fresh semen quality (p>0.05). However, lipid peroxidation in rooster semen depended on age, and the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration increased in aged roosters (p<0.05). Selenium supplementation in diets significantly decreased the MDA concentration and increased the sperm concentration (p<0.05). In contrast, cryopreserved semen was affected by advancing rooster age, and selenium influenced sperm quality (p<0.05). Younger roosters had higher post-thaw sperm quality and fertility potential than aged roosters (p<0.05). Likewise, diet selenium supplements improved post-thaw sperm quality and fertility compared with the non-supplement group. Conclusion: Rooster's age does not influence the rooster sperm quality of fresh semen, while sperm cryotolerance and fertility were greater in young roosters than in aged roosters. However, sperm of aged roosters could be improved by dietary selenium supplementation.

  • 생약재를 이용하여 천연 자원에서 항충치와 항산화 물질을 탐색하고 부가가치를 높이고자 하였다. 41종의 생약재 20 g을 ethanol 300 mL에 추출하고 농축하여 전량을 20 mL로 하여 시료로 사용하였다. 생약재의 phenolic compound의 함량을 측정하였으며, phenolic compound의 함량은 tannic acid로 환산하여 나타냈다. 가장 많은 phenolic compound 함량은 측백으로 $115.24{\mu}g/mL$이었으며, 목과, 토복령, 목단, 소엽 , 팔각향이 각각 $97.49{\mu}g/mL,\;97{\mu}g/mL,\;96.27{\mu}g/mL,\;96.56{\mu}g/mL,\;94.40{\mu}g/mL$이었다. Streptococcus mutans와 타액을 배양한 균주 5종에 대하여 생약재 ethanol 추출물로 항균성효과 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 Streptococcus mutans에서는 팔각향과 공사인이 98%로 높았으며, S-1과 S-2에서는 팔각향이 98%, 계피가 94%로 높은 항균효과가 있었다. S-3는 목과 95, S-4는 희첨 97%이었고, S-5에서는 연자육이 94%로 항균효과가 높았다. Streptococcus mutans와 타액을 배양한 균주 5종에서 glucosyltransferase(GTase) 효소를 분리하여 생약재에 의한 활성저해효과를 측정하였다. Streptococcus mutans의 GTase에서는 팔각향과 공사인이 94%로 활성저해효과가 가장 높았다. S-1에서 분리한 GTase에 대해서는 공사인이 95%로 효소활성 저해 효과가 가장 높았으며, S-2는 팔각향이 59%로 가장 높았다. S-4의 GTase는 목과가 96%이고, 작약과 팔각향이 95%였고, S-5의 GTase에서는 측백이 90%로 효소활성 저해효과가 높았다. 생약재들의 항산화성을 알아보기 위하여 DPPH radical scavenging를 알아보았으며, 시료는 $100{\mu}g/mL,\;200{\mu}g/mL,\;300{\mu}g/mL$를 첨가하여 측정하였다. 시료 $100{\mu}g/mL$에서 측백이 81.08%로 항산화활성이 가장 높았으며, 토복령, 계피가 각각 80.45%, 76.63%로 항산화활성이 높았다. 시료 $300{\mu}g/mL$에서는 연자육이 82.79%로 가장 높았으며, 감초, 계피, 공사인, 목과, 목단, 소엽, 애엽, 인진, 정향, 지각, 창이자, 천초, 측백, 토복령, 헛개나무, 홍화자 등 또한 항산화활성이 높았다. 생약재 ethanol추출물 중 항충치, 항산화효과가 높은 생약재들은 대부분 많은 phonolic compound함량을 나타내고 있어 phenolic compound는 항충치 및 항산화효과에 관련이 있는 것으로 생각된다.

  • 옻나무에서 극성이 큰 물과 에탄올로 추출한 물질을 생쥐 뇌세포를 배양하여 glucose oxidase에 의해 생성되는 hydroxyl radical에 대한 항산화 효과와 암세포에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 먼저 항산화 효과에 있어서, $7{\sim}10$일 정도 배양된 생쥐 뇌세포에 20 mU/mL GO system을 처리한 후 물 및 에탄올 추출물 (30 mg/mL)을 일정량 첨가하여 hydroxyl radical에 대한 옻나무 추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과 GO 20 mU/mL만을 처리한 구에서는 생쥐 뇌세포의 생존률이 52.0%인데 반하여, 옻나무 물 추출물을 1, 2, 4, 7, $10\;{\mu}L$ 첨가시 각각 60.0, 66.0, 72.0, 84.0 및 90.1%로서 첨가량이 증가할수록 매우 높은 생존률을 보였다. 이러한 경향은 에탄올 추출물의 첨가시에도 유사하였는데, $1\;{\mu}L$$2\;{\mu}L$ 첨가시 생존률은 55.0%와 64.0% 였고, 4, 7, $10\;{\mu}L$에서는 각각 70.0, 79.0, 91.0%로서 나타났다. 항산화력을 비교하기 위하여 잘 알려진 항산화제인 ascorbic acid를 50, $100\;{\mu}M$ 첨가시 쥐의 뇌세포의 생존률은 대조군에 대해 각각 87.0%와 90.0%이었는데 이것은 각각의 옻나무 추출물 10% $(10\;{\mu}L/well)$ 첨가시 나타났던 항산화 효과와 비슷한 결과였다. 따라서 이러한 항산화 효과에 관여하는 주요 성분을 전기영동과 작용기 분석을 통해 알아본 결과 laccase라는 물질이 주성분이라는 것과 그것은 구리를 함유한 당단백질로서 크기는 약 210 KDa과 230 KDa으로서 dimer로 되어 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 옻나무 추출물의 HeLa cell에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 in vitro 방법으로서 HeLa cell에 대해 물 및 에탄올 추출물(30 mg/mL)을 최고 10% 농도까지 첨가하여 시간별로 측정한 결과 $10\;{\mu}L$(10%) 첨가 후 12시간에는 40.0%가, 48시간에는 60.0% 정도의 HeLa cell이 사멸되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 암세포 성장 억제 효과에 대한 결과는 in vivo 방법에 있어서도 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 즉 BALB/c의 복강에 CT-26 $(1{\times}10^6\;cells/mL)$을 접종한 후 종양을 발생케 한 후 옻나무 추출물을 주입시 주입 7일 후 대조군에 비해 종양크기가 현저하게 작아지는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

  • The flavonoid, quercetin, is a low molecular weight substance found in apple, tomato and other fruit. Besides its antioxidative effect, quercetin, like other flavonoids, has a wide range of neuropharmacological actions including analgesia, and motility, sleep, anticonvulsant, sedative and anxiolytic effects. In the present study, we investigated its effect on mouse 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 ($5-HT_{3A}$) receptor channel activity, which is involved in pain transmission, analgesia, vomiting, and mood disorders. The $5-HT_{3A}$ receptor was expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and the current was measured with the two-electrode voltage clamp technique. In oocytes injected with $5-HT_{3A}$ receptor cRNA, quercetin inhibited the 5-HT-induced inward peak current ($I_{5-HT}$) with an $IC_{50}$ of $64.7{\pm}2.2{\mu}M$. Inhibition was competitive and voltage-independent. Point mutations of pre-transmembrane domain 1 (pre-TM1) such as R222T and R222A, but not R222D, R222E and R222K, abolished inhibition, indicating that quercetin interacts with the pre-TM1 of the $5-HT_{3A}$ receptor.
