The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-oxidant effect of Cynomorium songaricum. The extract of Cynomorii Herba was studied for diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, HepG2 cell viability and $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity by a modified MTT assay. DPPH radical scavenging activity was measured after 30 minutes. The extract was tested by 1. 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentrations. HepG2 cell viability by a modified MTT assay was measured in the concentrations of 10, 50, 100, 250, 500 ug/ml for 24 h. The results showed that the extract scavenged DPPH radical up to 52.2% with 50 ug/ml concentration. The extract did not reduced the cell viability and $H_2O_2-induced$ cytotoxicity (69.4%) was blocked by the extract in the concentrations of 50, 100, 250 and 500 ${\mu}g/ml$. In conclusion, the extract of Cynomorii Herba has potent antioxidant activity.

온도, pH, 배양시간을 세가지 인자로 하고 반응표면 분석을 통하여 Bacillus subtilis DC-2균에 의한 색소 생성 및 DPPH($\alpha$,$\alpha$-diphenyl-$\beta$-picryl-hydrazyl)에 의한 전자공여성의 최적 조건을 조사하였다. 색소생성능에는 배양온도가 10% 유의수준에서 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, DPPH에 의한 전자공여성의 경우 배양온도가 5% 유의수준, pH가 10% 유의수준에서 영향을 미치며, 배양시간은 10% 유의수준에서 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. Bacillus subtilis DC-2의 색소생성 최적 조건은 배양온도 39.$25^{\circ}C$, pH 8.83 및 84.41 시간으로 나타났으며 DPPH에 의한 전자공여성은 배양 온도 39.19$^{\circ}C$, pH 8.84 및 82.21시간에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix hot aqueous extract on nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) production and on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical scavenging in macrophages. Methods: Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix (300 g) was heated at $100^{\circ}C$ with distilled water (2 L) for 4 hours. The extract was filtered and concentrated to 100 mL by using a rotary evaporator, was frozen at $-80^{\circ}C$, and was then freeze-dried by using a freezing-drying system. The RAW 264.7 macrophage was subcultured by using $10-{\mu}g/mL$ lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In order to evaluate cytotoxicity, we performed 3-(4,5-dimrthylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays and measured the cell viability. The NO production was measured by using Griess assays, and the $PGE_2$ production was measured by using enzyme immunoassays. The antioxidant activity, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical scavenging capability, was measured by using the DPPH method. Results: Cell viability with the 1-, 5-, 25-, 125- and $625-{\mu}g/mL$ Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix hot aqueous extract was not significantly decreased compared to the cell viability without the extract. When 125 and $625{\mu}g/mL$ of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix hot aqueous extract were used, nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages was significantly inhibited compared to that in the control group. When 25, 125, and $625{\mu}g/mL$ of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix hot aqueous extract were used, $PGE_2$ production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages was significantly inhibited compared to that in the control group. The 125- and $625-{\mu}g/mL$ Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix hot aqueous extracts had high DPPH free-radical scavenging capabilities in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Conclusion: This study indicates that Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix hot aqueous extract suppresses NO and $PGE_2$ production and improves DPPH free-radical scavenging capability. Thus, it seems that Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix hot aqueous extract may have an anti-inflammation effect and antioxidant activity.

To assay for antioxidant capacity of natural products considered important in producing human health benefits, a practical and economical method using pellet techniques was developed. A standard visualizing reagent, 1,1diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), was mixed with a water-miscible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), serving as a solid phase support for the DPPH reagent. A DPPH pellet was prepared by dropping a small volume of the DPPH solution onto PET film, and drying in an oven. The PVA-based DPPH pellet was dissolved into water, in which the water-miscible PVA plays as a non-ionic surfactant to help the DPPH reagent to be dissolved into the solvent. Using the DPPH assay, the antioxidant capacity of water-soluble extracts of black soybean, barley, green tea, and green gram was examined. Among the natural products tested, green tea showed the highest antioxidant capacity. This PVA-based DPPH antioxidant assay can be further applied in the natural food, raw plant material, and health product inspection field.

The purpose of this study is to examine the antioxidant activity in the germ cells of the extract of Corm fructus. The extract was studied for diphenyl-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, GC-1 cell viability by a modified MTT assay, the effects on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity by MTT assay and lipid perixidation by malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, respectively. The results showed that the extract scavenged DPPH radical with the IC50 being $200{\mu}g/mL$. The extract at concentrations of $10-500{\mu}g/ml$ showed dose-dependent in growth of GC-1 cell. $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity (63.0%) was blocked by the extract (10, 50, 100, 250 and $500{\mu}g/ml$) concentration-dependently. Furthermore, the extract (50, 100 and $250{\mu}g/ml$) also displayed a dose-dependent reduction of MDA formation on $H_2O_2$-induced lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, the extract of Corm fructus has potent antioxidant activity.

이 연구의 목적은 curcumin 함유 젤을 쥐의 손상된 등부위 조직에 적용하여 경피전달에 따른 창상치유 효과를 관찰하였다. 카보머 934와 프로필렌글리콜을 이용하여 curcumin 함량이 1%인 젤을 제조하였다. Curcumin 자체의 항산화능과 함유 젤의 세포독성, 항염증의 효과를 평가하였다. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl(DPPH)로 관찰한 자유라디칼 소거능은 12.5 ppm 농도에서 50% 저해능을 관찰하였다. Curcumin 젤은 RAW 264.7 세포에서 lipopolysaccharide(LPS)로 유도한 nitric oxide(NO) 생성이 억제되는 것을 확인했다. In vivo 동물실험에서 curcumin 젤의 처치그룹이 curcumin이 함유되지 않은 젤과 비교했을 때 창상 부위의 재 상피화의 경향이 확연히 증가된 것을 실험기간 동안 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 연구는 결과적으로 curcumin 젤은 상처치료의 증진을 도와주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구를 통하여 요즘 기능성 측면에서 관심을 끌고 있는 참죽나무 잎의 열수추출물과 유기용매 추출물을 이용하여 항산화능과 면연증강능을 확인하였다. 열수 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 46.5-59.6 mg/100 g으로 유기용맹 추출물보다 그 수치가 더 높았다. 열수 추출물과 유기용맹 추출물의 항산화 활성은 2,2-diphenyl-picryl-hydraryl (DPPH) radical 소거활성으로 6-33%로 기준물질보다 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 참죽나무 잎 추출물의 면역증강능을 확인하기 위하여 박테리아 감염에 대항하는 숙주방어체계에 필요한 NO 생성능을 확인하였다. 열수 추출물은 마크로파지 세포주인 RWA 264.7의 NO 생성을 증가시켰다. 그러나 유기용매추출물은 별다른 변화를 가져오기 않았다. 항염효과를 증명하기 위하여 인지질다당류 (LPS) 유발 NO생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여, NO 생성을 억제하는 것을 증명하였다. 즉, 면역증강능의 확인 실험을 통하여 참죽나무 잎의 열수추출 분획에 대식세포의 활성을 증가시키는 성분이 포함되어 있고, 유기용매 추출 분획에서는 대식세포의 활성을 감소시키는 성분이 포함되어 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이상과 같은 결과를 미루어 보았을 때, 참죽이 한 가지 식물인데도 불구하고 유효 성분에 대한 추출 방법에 따라 상이한 면역 증강 및 항균, 항염 작용을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 분리 및 분석에 가장 빈번히 사용되고 있는 C18 column과 UV 검출기가 장착된 액체크로마토그래피(HPLC)와 항산화 활성 측정에 사용되는 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) 라디칼 소거능 측정 방법을 결합한 HPLC-DPPH 동시 측정법의 최적화와 유용성 확인을 약용식물의 추출물을 대상으로 실시하였다. 최종적으로 적용된 HPLC-DPPH 동시 측정법의 유용성은 갈근, 건강, 유근피, 모과, 황기 등 5종 약용식물의 열수추출물과 대조군으로서 ascorbic acid의 라디칼 소거능을 측정하여 확인하였다. HPLC-DPPH 동시 측정에 앞서 추출액 중 고형분 함량을 refractometer를 사용하여 측정함으로써 추출 수율에 따른 활성 차이를 보정할 수 있도록 하였다. 갈근, 모과, 유근피 열수추출물의 라디칼 소거능이 대조군으로 사용된 ascorbic acid와 비교하여 7.77%, 4.71%, 4.19%로서 다른 열수추출물보다 상대적으로 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 측정법은 실제 활성 성분의 분리 및 분석에 있어서 불필요한 시간 및 시약의 낭비를 줄일 수 있는 유용한 수단이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
