본 연구에서는 연근의 유용자원으로의 이용 가능성을 알아보기 위하여, 연근 추출물을 제조하여 in vitro 에서 합성항산화제로 널리 알려진 BHT와의 비교 측정하기 위하여 연근 에탄올 추출물의 각 분획별 항산화력 활성을 검토하였다. 연근 분획물의 항산화성을 알아보기 위하여 DPPH radical에 대한 자유기 소거능, Rancimat에 의한 항산화지수, 아질산염 소거능, 지질과산화물 생성 억제효과 등을 측정하였고, 총 polyphenol 함량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 연근 에탄올 추출물의 수율은 9.14% 이었고, 연근 에탄올 추출물의 계통 분획한 수율은 n-butanol이 가장 높았으며, 다음으로는 water, eth-ylacetate, chloroform, n-hexane 순이었다. 연근 에탄올 추출물의 총 polyphenol 함량은 0.306 mg/ml이었고, 각 분획물 중 ethylacetate 분획물이 0.843 mg/ml로 가장 많이 함유된 것으로 나타났다. DPPH radical에 대한 소거능을 측정한 결과 ethylacetate 분획물이 15.69 ${\mu}g/ ml$로 가장 강한 소거능을 나타내었으며, 합성항산화제 BHT의 15.38 ${\mu}g$/ml 와 유사한 효과를 나타내었다. Rancimat의 지질 산패도 유도기간에 따른 항산화력 비교에서도, ethylacetate 분획물이 가장 길었으나 양성대조군인 BHT의 유도기간에 비하여 짧게 나타났다. 아질산염 소거능은 pH 1.2에서 가장 우수하였으며, pH 1.2에서 ethylacetate 분획물이 88.33%로 합성항산화제인 BHT와 비슷한 아질산염 소거능을 나타내었다. 지질과산화물 생성 억제효과도 ethylacetate 분획물이 87.23%로 가장 우수하였다. 전체적으로 연근 ethylacetate 분획물은 BHT와 유사한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 연근 추출물은 in vitro 항산화 실험에서 항산화 활성을 나타내는 생리활성 성분이 존재하는 것으로 볼 수 있으므로 천연 항산화제로서의 가능성을 시사하였다.

Objectives : In this study, the effects of ethylacetate extract of Ostericum koreanum on inflammation in RAW264.7 cells were investigated. Methods : Dried roots of Ostericum koreanum was extracted with 80% methanol for 24 h, and then fractionated with n-butanol, n-hexan and ethylacetate. RAW264.7 cells, a mouse macrophage line were incubated with different concentrations of the extract for 30 min and then stimulated with LPS at indicated times. Cell toxicity was determined by MTT assay. The concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 ($PGE_2$) were measured by Griess assay and enzyme immunoassay (EIA), respectively. The expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthease (iNOS) and cyclooxyganase (COX) -2 mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results : The methanol extract of Ostericum koreanuman and its fractions were significantly inhibited the NO and PGE2 productions in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Among the fractions of Ostericum koreanuman the ethylacetate fraction was more strongly inhibited NO and $PGE_2$ productions compared with other fractions. The ethylacetate fraction was also suppressed LPS-induced mRNA expressions of iNOS and its protein levels in RAW264.7 cells. Conclusions : This study suggests that the ethylacetate fraction of Ostericum koreanum may have an anti-inflammatory property through suppressing inflammatory mediator productions in activated macrophages, suggesting have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases.

Several biological activities of extracts from roots of Cichorium intybus Linne (Compositae) were studied in this paper. The antiinflammatory activity of the methanol extract of this root was investigated against carrageenin induced edema in rat‘s hind paw. Significant inhibitory effects were observed at the dose of 1,000 mg/kg and were compared with aspirin as a control. The hepatoprotective activities of the methanol extract, ethylacetate and butanol fraction were studied on mice whose livers are damaged by $CCl_4$. The serum transaminase activities (ALT, AST) were reduced at the dose of 1,000 mg/kg of the methanol extract, 500 mg/kg of ethylacetate and butanol fraction, respectively. The bile juice secretion was also increased significantly from each fraction. The antidiabetic activity was examined on strepto-zotocin-induced diabetic rats with methanol extract. Methanol extract gave a significant reduction of blood glucose levels in 1 week and 3 weeks.

The ethanol extract of leaf mustard(Brassica juncea) exhibiting high antimicrobial activities was fractionated in the order of hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol fractions to test antimicrobial activity. The highest antimicrobial activity for the bacteria tested was found in the ethylacetate fraction, but a lesser extent in the butanol fraction. In contrast to antimicrobial activity for the bacteria, both ethylacetate and butanol fractions showed weak antimicrobial activity for yeasts. Unknown compound A in the ethylacetate fraction which exhibited a strong antimicrobial activity was isolated by silica gel column chromatography and HPLC, and exhibited 9 times more antimicrobial activity than the ethylacetate fraction.

Melanin is a polymer of phenol which produces hyperpigmentation in the skin. Melanin synthesis is catalyzed by the enzyme tyrosinase. To investigate the whitening activity of the fractions from the ethanol extract of Enteromorpha linza, we studied the inhibitory effect on the tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in the B16/F1 melanoma cells. The inhibition ratio of tyrosinase activity of ethylacetate fraction from E. linza was as strong as that of kojic acid, a positive control. Also, the melanin production was significantly inhibited by the ethylacetate fraction in a dose dependent manner. The ethylacetate fraction showed the highest activity in the fractions and as strong activity as that of arbutin, a positive control. From these results, we suggest that the E. linza extract might be able to apply to cosmetic and medical fields.

Melanogenesis refers to the biosynthesis of melanin pigment in melanocytes. Melanogenesis is controlled by the intra- and extracellular environments. In the present study, to develop a new whitening agent, it was investigated the antioxidant activity and the inhibitory effect of Ailanthi Radicis Cortex extract on tyrosinase activity and on melanogenesis in the B16/F1 melanoma cells. The inhibition ratio of tyrosinase activity of ethylacetate fraction from Ailanthi Radicis Cortex was higher than that of arbutin. The ethylacetate fraction showed scavenging activities of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and superoxide anion radicals in a dose dependent manner. The highest inhibitory activity of melanogenesis was also in ethylacetate fraction ($40.0{\pm}5%$ at the concentration of $400{\mu}g/ml$). This study demonstrates that the Ailanthi Radicis Cortex extract might be used to be a potential agent for skin whitening.

Anticancer effect of methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. on oral carcinoma(KB) and osteosarcoma(HOS) cells were investigated in this study. In order to elucidate the anticancer mechanism of Caesalpinia sappan L, we analyzed telomerase inhibitory effect of the methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. In addition, we prepared 5 fraction samples according to its polarity differences and analyzed anticancer effects on oral carcinoma and osteosarcoma cells. Following results are obtained in this study. 1. 50% cell proliferation inhibitory value($IC_{50}$) of the methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. against oral carcinoma(KB) cells and osteosarco ma(HOS) cells were $9.0{\mu}g/ml\;and\;10.9{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. 2. The methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. showed inhibitory effect of telomerase which is required for cancer cell immortality. Therefore, it seems that the anticancer effect of methanol extract of Caesalpinia sappan is at least partially due to telomerase inhibitory effect. 3. Five fraction samples were prepared according to its polarity and 88.7% of ingredient of total methanol extract was transferred to ethylacetate fraction. Thin layer chromatography analysis showed that dichloromethane fraction contained ingredient with relatively high polarity and ethylacetate fraction contained similar ingredient found in total methanol extract. 4. Anticancer effect was observed in n-hexane, dichloromethane, and ethylacetate fractions. The highest anticancer effect was found in dichloromethane fraction which had $IC_{50}$ value of $4.4{\mu}g/ml$ and > $4.0{\mu}g/ml$ against oral carcinoma(KB) cells and osteosarcoma(HOS) cells, respectively.

참나물의 생리활성 효과를 구명하기 위하여 in vitro에서 용매별 분획물의 항산화효능을 검토하였다. 참나물 에탄올추출물의 추출 수율은 12.01%이었으며, 이를 n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol, water로 계통 분획한 수율은 water 분획이 1.90%로 가장 높았으며, n-hexane, n-butanol, chloroform, ethylacetate 순이었다. In vitro에서 참나물 에탄올 추출물을 계통 분획하여 DPPH radical에 대한 자유기 소거능을 측정한 결과 n-hexane 분획이 $41\;{\mu}g/ml$로 가장 강한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 Rancimat로 측정한 항산화지수도 n-hexane 분획이 1.98로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 이는 기존의 항산화제인 BHT가 1.97로 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. 아질산염 소거능에서도 모든 pH에서 n-hexane 분획이 가장 높게 나타났으며, pH 1.2에서 가장 우수하였다. 지질과산화물 생성 억제효과는 n-hexane 분획이 88.40%로 가장 높았으나, 양성대조군으로 사용한 BHT의 억제율보다도 낮았다. Linoleic acid에 대한 항산화효과를 지질과산화물가로 측정한 결과도 분획 중 n-hexane의 항산화력이 가장 우수하였고, ethylacetate, chloroform 순이었다. 이상의 결과 참나물은 식품으로의 이용가치뿐만 아니라 참나물 추출물의 in vitro 에서 항산화력의 우수함을 통해 천연 항산화제로서의 효과를 기대해 본다.

Fractional solvent extraction by organic solvents such as hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, and butanol was carried out using 70% ethanol extract of apple flower leaves. Biological activities including antioxidant, whitening, antimicrobial and anti-wrinkle activities were investigated and bio-active materials of the extracts were identified using GC/MSD. Among the tested solvent fractions, ethylacetate fraction showed the highest total polyphenol content (1218.94 ${\mu}g/mL$), and flavonoid (140 ${\mu}g/mL$). The DPPH radical scavenging activities was over 80% at a dry matterbased concentration of 200 ${\mu}g/{\mu}L$ and SOD-like activity was over 90% at 50 ${\mu}g/mL$ concentration in ethylacetate fraction that was slightly lower than of ascorbic aicd. Tyrosinase inhibition activity related to skin-whitening was over 60% by ethylacetate fraction of 100 ${\mu}g/mL$. As an anti-aging effect, elastase inhibitory activity was about 45% in ethylacetate fraction. Also, it showed a significantly antimicrobial activity against P. acenes. From GC/MSD analysis, a characteristic peak of high content in ethylacetate fraction was identified as kaempferol, which has been reported as a bioactive compound.
