In order to promote the value of the flowers as new agricultural products, we investigated the biological activities of rape, arrowroot, and rose extracts. Biological activities investigated included antioxidant activity and the effects on 3T3-L1 fibroblast cells. When each flower was extracted with methanol, the antioxidant index and electron donating activity of roses was the highest $(IC_{50}$ of rose extract was $17.6 \mu{g}/m\ell$). When 3T3-L1 fibroblast cells were treated with extracts made with hexane, ethyl acetate, and ether, the rape extracts had a cytotoxic effect on the cells. 12.2% of cells survived when treated with a 3mg/$m\ell$ ether extract while those treated with the same concentration of hexane and ethyl acetate had survival rates of 76.2% and 78.6% respectively. In contrast to rape, the ether extract of arrowroot and rose stimulated the growth of 3T3-L1 cells. The effect of rose extracts was much bigger than those of other extracts. Although every rose extract stimulated the growth of the 3T3-L 1 cells, the ether extract stimulated growth up to 168.6% compared to the control at the concentration of $0.3mg/m\ell$, and 148.3% at the concentration of $1mg/m\ell$. The toxicity on cells treated with $H_2 O_2$ of $450\mu{M}l$was decreased with the addition of rose extract. The survival rate after treatment with rose extract at the concentration of $100\mu{g}/m\ell$ was increased to 71% compared to the 32% survival rate of control. From these results, it can be concluded that the extracts of arrowroot and rose seem to stimulate cells, whereas the extract of rape has a cytotoxic effect. Biological activities of ether extract were the strongest compared to those of other extracts at the tested concentrations.

In this study, we tried to offer the possibility of White Hibiscus syriacus L. (WHS) flower extracts as a preventive and improving agent of osteoporosis that bone mass reduction is induced by an decrease of osteoblast involved in bone formation and increase of bone resorption by osteoclast activity. As a results, it was found to have antioxidant activity and contain a flavonoid contents ($47.74 mg/g) of the WHS flower. There was cytotoxicity at more than $250{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration of WHS flower extract of RANKL-induced osteoclast in RAW264.7. There were no significant inhibited TRAP activity in the WHS leaf and stem. However, it was confirmed that it is significantly inhibited the differentiation activity of osteoclasts in 50 and $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration of cells of stability levels of only WHS flower extracts (p < 0.01). The WHS flower prominently inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation activity by decreased calcitonin receptor and TRAP mRNA (p < 0.01). These results indicate that of osteoclasts differentiation activity is inhibited by protection of oxidative stress due to the antioxidant activity of the WHS flower. Therefore, suggesting the WHS flower may be a presents the possibility as a preventive and therapeutic agents for osteoporosis.

We examined whether extracts from 14 local citrus spp. on Jeju Island (Korea) contained chemosensitizing activity that would increase the cytotoxic effect of vincristine(VCR) in drug-resistant cancer cells. We report that methanol extracts from fruits and flowers of some species had a chemosensitizing effect that reversed P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR). Using drug-sensitive AML-2/WT and drug-resistant AML-2/D100 in the absence of VCR in human acute myelogenous leukemia cells we found that fruit or flower extracts alone generally had low cytotoxicity $(IC_{50}>200\;{\mu}g/ml)$. In studies examining the effect of extracts on 120 ng/ml VCR cytotoxicity in drug-resistant AML-2/D100 cells, we found that immature fruit extracts had greater chemosensitizing activity than either extracts from mature fruit or flower. Of the 14 species examined, the immature fruit extract from Inchangkyool (Citrus ichangiensis) showed the hishest chemosensitizing index(CI) valus. Immature fruit extracts of Hongkyool(C. tachibana), Byungkyool(C. platymamma), Cheongkyool(C. nippokoreana) and Jinkyool (C. sunki) also strongly potentiated VCR cytotoxicity in AML-2/D100 cells. The chemosensitizing effect of peel extracts was 2-10-fold that of whole fruit extracts from Hongkyool (C. tachibana), Byungkyool (C. platymamma) and Inchangkyool (C. inchangiensis). The CI values for flower extracts were higher than those for mature fruit extracts, but lower than those for immature fruit extracts. These results indicate that immature citrus fruits contain compounds that do not exert their activity solely through cytotoxicity. In particular, Incahngkyool (C. inchangiensis), Byungkyool(C.platymamma), Cheongkyool(C. nippokoreana) and Hongkyool (C. tahibana) may be useful sources of chemosensitizing compounds.

We evaluated the activity of methanolic extracts of Melaleuca cajuputi flowers against the filarial worm Brugia pahangi and its bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia. Anti-Wolbachia activity was measured in worms and in Aedes albopictus Aa23 cells by PCR, electron microscopy, and other biological assays. In particular, microfilarial release, worm motility, and viability were determined. M. cajuputi flower extracts were found to significantly reduce Wolbachia endosymbionts in Aa23 cells, Wolbachia surface protein, and microfilarial release, as well as the viability and motility of adult worms. Anti-Wolbachia activity was further confirmed by observation of degraded and phagocytized Wolbachia in worms treated with the flower extracts. The data provided in vitro and in vivo evidence that M. cajuputi flower extracts inhibit Wolbachia, an activity that may be exploited as an alternative strategy to treat human lymphatic filariasis.

본 연구는 불과 80% 에탄올 용매가 마가렛트, 큰금계국, 저먼캐모마일 및 알프스민들레 꽃 추출물의 항산화효과에 미치는 영향을 탐색하기 위해서 수행하였다. 추출수율은 물 추출물에서 27.15~40.25%, 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 24.92~42.84%로 나타났다. 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드의 함량은 4종 모두 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 많게 나타났으며, 큰금계국 꽃의 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 함량이 가장 많았다. 4종 꽃 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거능, ABTS radical 소거능 및 $Fe^{2+}$ chelating 효과는 모두 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 높았다. DPPH radical 소거능은 알프스민들레 꽃의 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 기장 높았으며, 합성 항산화제인 BHT 보다 소거활성이 높았다. ABTS radical 소거능은 저먼캐모마일 꽃의 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 가장 높았다. 국화과 꽃 추출물은 DPPH radical 보다는 ABTS radical 소거능이 우수하였으며, 저먼캐모마일과 큰금계국 꽃의 80% 에탄올 추출물의 ABTS radical 소거능은 ascorbic acid와 BHT 보다 우수하였다. $Fe^{2+}$ chelating 효과는 알프스민들레 꽃의 80% 에탄올 추출물에서 기장 우수하였다. EDTA와 chelating 효과를 비교한 결과, 4종의 꽃 추출물은 EDTA 보다 chelating 효과가 극히 낮았다. 본 연구의 결과, 마가렛트, 큰금계국, 저먼캐모마일, 알프스민들레 등 국화과 4종의 꽃을 이용하여 천연 항산화제를 개발할 때에는 80% 에탄올을 용매로 추출하는 것이 시료의 항산화 물질 추출 효율 및 항산화 활성을 증가시킬 수 있는 효율적인 방법으로 생각된다.
