Eupatilin은 급성위궤양 모델인 HCl-EtOH model에서 0.3mg/kg에서 50% 억제하였으며 10mg/kg에서 95% 최대효과를 나타내었고, indomethacin model에서는 0.8mg/kg에서 50% 억제하였으며, 10mg/kg에서 97% 최대억제효과를 나타내었다. Cyclooxygenase-1의 활성은 1.7, 5.8$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$에서 prostaglandin E$_2$와 prostacyclin의 생성을 각각 2배 촉진시켰으나, cyclooxygenase-2에 대한 활성에는 영향을 주지 않았다. FMLP로 활성화시킨 호중구에 대한 활성은 0.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg에서 50% 억제하여 oxygen free radical 소거활성을 나타내었고, 반면 xanthine oxidase 및 iron-dependant lipid peroxidation 활성에 대해서는 78.8, 26.9$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$에서50% 억제를 보였다. 5-lipooxygenase 활성은 2.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 에서 염증매개인자인 leukotriene B$_4$ 생성을 50% 억제하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 애엽추출의 항궤양 효과는 prostaglandin의 생성촉진 및 oxygen free radical 과 leukotriene B4와 같은 공격인자의 생성억제 등의 복합적인 작용에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial disorder with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Eupatilin, a kind of flavonoids, has been known to be effective for chronic diarrhea in Korea. In this study, we have investigated the genotoxicity of DA-6034, a new synthetic derivative of Eupatilin, wing in vitro and in viuo system such as Ames reverse mutation test, chromosomal aberration test and micronucleus test. in Ames reverse mutation test, DA-6034 treatment at the dose range up to 5,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ plate did not induced mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, TA1537 with and without metabolic activation. Any significant aberration wasn't observed in chinese hamster lung(CHL) fibroblast cells treated with DA-6034 at the concentration of 5, 2.5, 1.25 mg/ml both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation system. In mouse micronucleus test, no significant increase in the occurrence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was observed in ICR male mice orally administered with DA-6034 of the doses of 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 g/kg. These results indicate that DA-6034 has no mutagenic potential under the condition in this study.

Six compounds, eupatilin (1), dammaradienyl acetate (2), glutinol acetate (3), $3{\beta}-acetoxyoleanan-12-one$ (4), taraxasterol (5) and quercetin-3,4'-dimethyl ether (6) were isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia absinthium. The chemical structures of compounds 1-6 were determined by the basis of physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic methods such as 1D and 2D NMR. Among them, compounds 2-5 were isolated from this plant for the first time. The inhibitory effects of these isolated compounds against nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells or BV2 microglia were also examined. Among the tested compounds, compound 1, eupatilin, inhibited the production of NO in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells and BV2 microglia, respectively.

Objectives: This study was conducted to find out the optimal extraction time for Artemisia argyi. Methods: The compositional pattern was compared with HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and GC (Gas-Chromatography) by decocting Artemisia argyi 10, 60, 120 minutes respectively. Results: With longer extraction time, the contents of reference compounds were extracted 1.1 times more when 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid was extracted for 60 minutes than when extracted for 10 minutes in HPLC test, but the contents were reduced when extracted for 120 minutes compared to 60 minutes extraction time. 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, jaceosidin, and eupatilin showed the largest yield rate when extracted for 10 minutes, and it decreased as time passed. The contents of chlorogenic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, jaceosidin, scoparone, and eupatilin were detected only in 10 minutes extraction but not in 60 or 120 minutes extraction according to GC test. Conclusions: The results show that extraction time could affect the physicochemical characteristic or composition of Artemisia argy extracted. Thus, short extraction time could be useful for decoction of Artemisia argyi.

Mugwort (Artemisia princeps) is a medicinal plant that has a substance called euphatilin, which is effective for cell damage and gastritis recovery. The objectives of this study were to investigate the annual growth characteristics of Artemisia princeps in greenhouse and to increase the eupatiline content by environmental stresses. Growth and eupatilin content of the plants were compared after 6 weeks of seedling and subsequent 8 weeks of greenhouse cultivation. Photosynthesis of mugwort plants did not saturate even at a relatively high light intensity of $1,200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Growth rate of the plants reached its highest at two weeks after transplanting and began to decrease since 8 weeks after transplanting. The plants showed typical characteristics of a perennial herbaceous plant as they were sensitive to seasonal changes. In particular, the plants showed high growth and eupatilin content in spring and summer as vegetative growth periods, but flowering and wintering caused considerable decreases in growth and eupatilin content in fall and winter. Therefore, application of night interruption is essential for year-round cultivationof the plant. Two stresses and a elicitor were treated: drought stresses by stopping irrigation at 5, 6, 7, and 8 days before harvest; salt stresses with nutrient solution concentrations of 2, 4, 6, 8, and $10dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ by adding sodium chloride at 3 days before harvest; and foliar applications of methyl jasmonates of 12.5, 25, 50, and $100{\mu}M$ at 3 days before harvest. Significant increase in eupatilin content was observed at drought stresses of 7- and 8-days of irrigation stop and foliar application of $25{\mu}M$ methyl jasmonate, while no significant increase observed at salt stresses. From the results, it was confirmed that the environmental treatments can improve the productivity and quality of Artemisia princeps as a phamaceutical raw material.

The chromatographic separation of a methanol extract of Artemisia princes led to the isolation of two sesquiterpene lactones, artecanin (1) and canin (2), together with a flavonoid, eupatilin (3). Their structures were determined by 1D, 2D-NMR and MS data analysis. All of the isolates were evaluated for their potential to inhibit the LPS-induced production of nitric oxide in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Compounds 1 - 3 inhibited nitric oxide production with $IC_{50}$ values of 19.5, 20.4 and 25.1 ${\mu}M$, respectively.

In oriental medicine, Artemisiae asiatica (AA) has been used as analgesic, antiinflammatory agent, and coagulatory agent. Furthermore, eupatilin, a kind of flavonoids, is known as the active principle component of AA. This study was undertaken to determine the gastric antiulceration of AA and to elucidate its mechanism. AA showed the inhibitory effect on gastric ulceration induced by EtOH/HCl and aspirin. To elucidate its mechanism, the effect of AA on lipidperoxide level in gastric mucosa, microsome lipidperoxidation, iron -dependent lipidperoxidation, and neutrophil activation were examined. It is suggested that the antiperoxidative and antineutrophil activity of AA play important roles as a possible mechanism. These results suggest that AA might have gastric antiulceration activity due to antilipidperoxdative and antineutrophil activity.
