In this study, extracts of Boswellia serrata gum resin, Curcuma longa rhizome, and Terminalia chebula fruit were combined in different ratios, and their anti-osteoarthritis effects were compared to determine which combination had the best synergistic effect. B. serrata, C. longa, and T. chebula extracts in a 2:1:2 ratio exhibited higher antioxidative activity in scavenging DPPH radicals than did the individual extracts alone or the other extract combinations. Additionally, the 2:1:2 combination significantly improved the levels of enzymatic antioxidants and antioxidant-related proteins. Moreover, this same combination ratio decreased the protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 3 and MMP13 in interleukin-1β-stimulated human articular chondrocytes (HCHs) and increased those of aggrecan and collagen type II alpha 1 chain (COL2A1). Analysis of the underlying mechanisms revealed that the 2:1:2 combination significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Therefore, the 2:1:2 combination of these three plant extracts has the best potential for use as an effective dietary supplement for improving joint health compared with the individual extracts and their other combination ratios.

본 연구에서는 울금의 메탄올 추출물을 제조하고 3T3-L1 지방세포 모델을 이용하여 세포 수준에서 울금 인조쌀의 지방구 형성 조절을 통한 지질축적 억제능을 평가하였다. 더 나아가 C57BL/6J 마우스에 고지방식이와 함께 인조쌀, 울금 추출물이 첨가된 인조쌀을 공급하였을 때 체중과 지질대사의 변화를 관찰하였다. 세포 실험의 결과로부터 울금 메탄올 추출물을 처리한 후 $20{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 유의적인 지방구형성 억제를 관찰하였다. 동물 실험에서는 식이효율을 측정한 결과 인조쌀을 섭취한 군에서 그 효율이 낮아졌으며, 특히 울금 인조쌀을 섭취한 군에서 유의적으로 감소하였다. 부고환 지방 무게는 인조쌀 섭취군에서는 고지방섭취군과 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 울금 인조쌀을 섭취한 군에서는 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 혈청 지질 수준은 인조쌀군과 울금 인조쌀군 모두 고지방식이군에 비하여 개선되는 결과를 보였다. 혈청 중성지방은 인조쌀군과 울금 인조쌀군 모두유의적으로 낮아졌으며, 혈청 콜레스테롤 함량은 고지방식이군에 비해 인조쌀군에서 감소하는 경향을 보였고 울금 인조쌀군에서는 유의적으로 감소되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 울금 이 첨가된 인조쌀에 다량 함유된 식이섬유소와 여러 생리활성물질이 지질대사를 개선시키고 지방 축적을 억제하여 일상식을 통한 체내 지질 수준 개선 효과를 기대해 볼 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

This study covers the historical aspects of the turmeric and curcuma only in detail on the medicinal uses, supported by references to the medical texts. And the result is as follows: 1. Turmeric and curcuma are rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plants of the ginger family, but both produced on the same herb. The rhizome is considered turmeric while the tuber is considered curcuma. 2. Turmeric is the round, oval, or ovate, and scutiform rhizome. 3. Curcuma is yellowish externally, internally more or less orange-yellow passing into reddish-brown. The tuber has a round and cuspidate appearance. The smell is aromatic, somewhat analogous to ginger. 4. Turmeric is somewhat analogous to curcuma in shape, but turmeric is pungent and bitter in taste, warm and intoxious in property, and yellow in color, acting on the spleen and liver channels and governing the gi of the blood while curcuma is pungent and bitter in taste, cold and intoxious in property, red in color, acting on the heart and pericardium channels and governing the blood. 5. Turmeric is referred to zedoary, sliced turmeric, old jaundice, precious aromatic, and ovate rhizoma, and curcuma is referred to radix curcuma, curcuma aromatica, and cicada-belly curcuma

Background: Turmeric ($Curcuma$ $longa$) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties. However, despite the progress in research with $C.$ $longa$, there is still a big lacuna in the information on the active principles and their molecular targets. More particularly very little is known about the role of cell cycle genes $p57^{kip2}$ and Rad9 during chemoprevention by turmeric and its derivatives especially in prostate cancer cell lines. Methods: Accordingly, in this study, we have examined the antitumor effect of several extracts of $C.$ $longa$ rhizomes by successive fractionation in clonogenic assays using highly metastatic PC-3M prostate cancer cell line. Results: A mixture of isopropyl alcohol: acetone: water: chloroform: and methanol extract of $C.$ $longa$ showed significant bioactivity. Further partition of this extract showed that bioactivity resides in the dichloromethane soluble fraction. Column chromatography of this fraction showed presence of biological activity only in ethyl acetate eluted fraction. HPLC, UV-Vis and Mass spectra studies showed presence three curcuminoids in this fraction besides few unidentified components. Conclusions: From these observations it was concluded that the ethyl acetate fraction showed not only inhibition of colony forming ability of PC-3M cells but also up-regulated cell cycle genes $p57^{kip2}$ and Rad9 and further reduced the migration and invasive ability of prostate cancer cells.

가을울금과 봄울금의 채취시기에 따른 유기산, 무기질, 색도, curcumin 및 쓴맛성분 등의 함량은 다음과 같다. 주요 유기산 중에 oxalic acid와 lactic acid는 채취시기가 늦어질수록 점차 증가하였으나 malic acid, malonic acid는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 유기산 총함량은 채취시기가 늦어질수록 점차 증가하다가 다음해인 1월에는 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 무기질은 채취시기가 늦을수록 함량이 증가하다가 이듬해에는 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 색소는 채취시기가 늦어질수록 L, a, b 값 모두 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Curcumin의 함량은 가을울금의 경우, 10월부터 이듬해인 1월까지 크게 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났으나 봄울금은 가을울금과는 달리 채취시기가 늦어질수록 그 함량이 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 가을울금이 봄 울금에 비하여 $1.8{\sim}2.5$ 배 이상의 높은 함유량을 보였다. 쓴맛성분은 상온에서 추출할 경우 채취시기와 추출용매별로 크게 관능적 평점에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 울금보다는 강황의 쓴맛이 더 강한 것으로 나타나 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.05).

Curcuma longa L. (C.L), Curcuma aromatica Salisb. (C.A) and Zingiber officinale Rosc. (Z.O) of Zingiberaceae plants which are well known as effects of natural anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory. We examined that the Zingiberaceae plants are involved in development and modulation of orofacial pain in rats. Male, 7- to 8-week-old, Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 240~280 g were used in this study. Experiments were performed using acute pain model that was caused by the injection of 5% formalin into the right vibrissa pad. The number of scratching or rubbing to the injection site was recorded for 9 consecutive 5-minute intervals following injection of formalin. The experimental groups were acute orofacial inflammatory pain; control group (formalin, 5%), vehicle group (5% formalin after sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), single administration group, single mixed administration group, repeated administration group. The experiments were performed various concentrations of Zingiberaceae plants extract. Therefore, oral administration of C.L, C.A, and Z.O (p.o., concentrations of 12.5, 25 mg/mL) in orofacial inflammatory pain model substantially decrease the nociceptive behavior in a concentration dependent manner. And it tended to decrease at low concentration (12.5 mg/mL) of single mixed and repeated administration more than single administration. This result means that Zingiberaceae plants extract affects the modulation of acute orofacial inflammatory pain. Thus, Zingiberaceae plants extract may be a potential therapeutic treatment for orofacial inflammatory pain.
