본 실험은 electron spin/paramagnetic resonance(ESR/EPR)를 이용하여 기존의 DPPH free radical 소거 활성을 측정하였고, 이를 해조류 유래 천연자원으로부터 새로운 항산화물질을 탐색하는데 적용해 보았다. 연구 결과, 녹조류 추출물에서는 참홑파래, 납작파래 및 청각의 고온 메탄올 추출물에서만 약간의 라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었고, 이 외의 추출물에서는 소거활성이 거의 보이지 않았다. 갈조류는 총 71개의 추출물 중 37개의 추출물에서 80% 이상의 소거율을 보여 아주 우수한 항산화 물질을 가진 family로 여겨지며, 특히 모자반류 (Sargassum spp.)는 수용성과 메탄올, 고온과 상온의 모든 추출물에서 높은 라디칼 소거 활성을 보여 앞으로의 신소재 물질 후보로 선별되었다. 홍조류에서는 수용성보다는 메탄올 추출물에서 대체적으로 높은 소거활성이 검색되어, 나중에는 유기용매 분획물을 제조하여 라디칼 소거능을 측정 할 수 있을 것이다. 이처럼 해조류는 라키칼 소거 능력을 가지는 성분을 여러 형태로 다량으로 함유 하고 있는 것으로 사료 되며 앞으로의 연구에 기대가치를 더해 줄 것으로 사료된다.

One of the important function of skin is the protection from harmful environments. Many studies were carried out to keep the skin from wrinkling and pigmenting. Skin wrinkle and pigmentation could be caused' by the unusual disruption of connective tissue, the formation of free radicals and the radiation of ultraviolet. In this study, the extracts obtained from 23 different kinds of medicinal plants were examined whether they have inhibitory effect on tyrosinase and elastase as well as free radical scavenging effect. All the extracts examined were obtained by using 70% (v/v) ethanol at $60^{\circ}C$. It has been found that there were two medicinal plants which have positive effects matching with the purpose of this study. The extract of Ephedra sinica stapf shows an inhibitory effect on tyrosinase ($IC_{50}$ = 83.7~$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), on elastase ($IC_{50}$ = $690{\mu}\textrm{g}$/ml), and also shows free radical scavenging effect ($IC_{50}$ = 29.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml). The extract of Betula platyphylla Var. shows an inhibitory effect on elastase ($IC_{50}$ = 498.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), and free radical scavenging effect ($IC_{50}$ = 9$\mu\textrm{g}$/ ml). The aim of the study is to find the natural compounds which have function in skin-lightening, anti-wrinkling and anti-oxidation, with safe and active ingredients in cosmetic.

Green tea catechins (GTC) and its major component, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were studied for their protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress. GTC and EGCG skewed the strong antioxidative effects on the lipid peroxidation of ethyl linolate with Fenton's reagent and free radical scavenging effect to DPPH radical generation. They also protected $H_2O$$_2$- or KO$_2$-induced cytotoxicity in CHL cells or mouse splenocytes. These results indicate that GTC and EGCG are capable of protecting the lipid peroxidation, flee radical generation and cytotoxicity induced by ROS. The mechanism of inhibition in ROS-induced cytotoxicity may be due to their antiofidative and free radical scavenging properties. Therefore, GTC and EGCG may be useful chemopreventive agents by protecting the free radical generation which are involved in cancer and aging.

본 연구에서는 이미 항산화 효과로 알려져 있는 대두와 약성이 탁월한 약콩에서 AChE 활성 억제효과와 Free radical scavenger 효과를 노화로 인한 질병 예방효과에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 1. 대두 열탕 추출물의 경우 저농도인 1, 0.1 mg/$m\ell$에서는AChE의 활성 억제 효과가 메탄을 추출물보다 높았다. (P<0.001) 2. 대두, 약콩 메탄올 추출물에서는 고농도인 5 mg/$m\ell$에서 각 시료의 효과가 62.0$\pm$2.43%, 65.0$\pm$3.29%로 비슷했으나 저농도인 0.1 mg/$m\ell$에서는 약콩의 경우 25.5$\pm$0.94%로 약콩이 대두에 비해 유의적인 AChE 억제효과를 나타냈다. (p<0.001) 3. 시간에 따른 Free radical scavenger효과는 비타민 C의 경우 시간에 따라 비슷한 효과를 보였으나 대두와 약콩은 incubating 시간에 따라 free radical 억제효과가 증가해 높은 항산화 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 4. 대두, 약콩 메탄올 추출물에서는 약콩이 고농도인 5mg/$m\ell$에서 약4배 정도의 효과를 보였으며 Free radical scavenger의 50%효과를 나타내는 $IC_{50}$/에서는 약 10배 정도로 높은 Free radical scavenger 효과를 나타내 약콩이 대두에 비해 유의적으로 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로, 대두와 약콩의 추출물은 AChE 활성억제효과에 있어서 좋은 효과를 나타내며 또한 노화의 원인과 질병의 원인이 되는 free radical을 억제하는 효과를 가지고 있어 노인성 치매를 비롯하여 파킨슨씨병, 뇌허혈 및 뇌졸중과 같은 각종 노인성 질환예방에 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 거봉종 포도의 종자와 과피로부터 에탄올용매의 농도와 추출 온도변화에 의한 추출물의 수율의 차이와 그에 따른 free radical 소거 활성을 비교하였다. 각 분획물은 에탄올 추출물로부터 hexane 분획물, chloroform 분획물, ethyl acetate 분획물, butanol 분획물 및 물 분획물로 나누어 free radical 소거 활성을 $RC_{50}$으로 타나내었다. 추출 수율은 종자 및 과피 모두에서 추출 온도 $78^{\circ}C$, 에탄올 농도 100%에서 36.0%와 49.5%로 다른 온도와 농도 조건에 비하여 높은 수율을 나타내었다. 각 분획물 중에서는 물 분획물이 종자에서는 72.1%인데 비하여 과피에서는 92.7%로 다른 분획층에 비하여 많이 차지하였다. DPPH법에 의한 free radical 소거 활성에서는 종자의 경우, $78^{\circ}C$ 에탄올 추출물이 $RC_{50}\;=\;409.7\;{\mu}g/mL$이며, 분획물에서는 ethyl acetate층이 $RC_{50}\;=\;136.7{\mu}g/mL$로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 과피의 경우, $78^{\circ}C$ 에탄올 추출물이 $RC_{50}\;=\;6528.8\;{\mu}g/mL$로, 분획물에서는 ethyl acetate층이 $RC_{50}\;=\;694.7\;{\mu}g/mL$로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었으나, 물 분획물은 free radical 소거 활성을 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 통하여 추출온도와 용매 온도에 따른 수율의 차이가 나타났으며 추출온도와 free radical 소거 활성의 효능은 별다른 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로, 본 연구 결과 종자 에탄올 추출물과 분획물 모두 과피 추출물보다 현저히 높은 활성을 나타내었다.

The methanol (MeOH) extract and ist fractions of Taraxacum mongolicum (Compositae) were examined for their scavenging effects on 1,1-diphenyl-2- phenylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide radicals, and hepatoprotective effects on tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in human hepatoma cell line, Hep G2 cells. Both methylene chloride $(CH_2Cl_2)$ and butanol (n-BuOH) soluble fractions of the MeOH extract showed the free radicals scavenging and hepatoprotective effects. From these results, it is suggested that hepatoprotective effect of these fractions partly relies on their free radical scavenging activity.

This study was carried out to investigate the structure of antioxidative constituents and the free radical scavenging effect of the main ingredients from Galla Rhois(Rhus javanica Linne). Antioxidative activities of n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH extracts of Galla Rhois were similar or even higher than that of natural (tocopherol) or synthetic antioxidant (BHA). It is suggested that major fractions for the antioxidative activity of Galla Rhois were the n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH extract compartments. In the subsequently experiment, one active compound from n-hexane extract, three active compounds from EtOAc extract and one active compound from BuOH extract were isolated. Their chemical structures were identified as syringic acid, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid methylester, gallic acid and $1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-galloyl-{\beta}-D-glucose$ on the basis of the speculation of spectral data and chemical reaction. Among the compounds, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid methylester and $1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-galloyl-{\beta}-D-glucose$ showed most potent radical scavenging effect using DPPH method.

Degenerative diseases are commonly associated with excess free radicals. Acer okamotoanum, a plant endemic to Korea, is reported to have anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-viral activities. We previously isolated flavonoids from the ethyl acetate fraction of A. okamotoanum such as quercitrin (QU), isoquercitrin (IQ), and afzelin (AF). In the present study, the in vitro antioxidant activity of flavonoids such as QU, IQ, and AF isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of A. okamotoanum were investigated by measuring the free radical scavenging activity including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical ($^{\cdot}OH$), and superoxide anion ($O_2{^-}$). The flavonoids (QU, IQ, and AF) concentration-dependently showed a DPPH radical scavenging activity. In particular, QU and IQ showed a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than that of AF. In addition, the flavonoids (QU, IQ, and AF) at $10{\mu}g/mL$ showed over an 80% scavenging effect against $^{\cdot}OH$ radical production. Furthermore, the $O_2{^-}$ radical scavenging activity of the flavonoids, QU, IQ, and AF increased in a dose-dependent manner. Particularly, IQ exerted the strongest scavenging activities against $^{\cdot}OH$ and $O_2{^-}$ radicals among the other flavonoids. These results indicate that the flavonoids from A. okamotoanum, in particular IQ, would have a protective activity against oxidative stress induced by free radicals, and potentially be considered as a natural antioxidant agent.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate effect of immature fruits from Citrus unshiu Markovich to mature them on antioxidative and antiaging-related enzyme activities in vitro. Methods : Fruits from Open field-cultivated C. unshiu Markovich (ripe and unripe fruits of Citri) made a purchase in Jeju island. We measured total polyphenol and flavonoid contents in mature C. unshiu Markovich (MC) and immature C. unshiu Markovich (IMC) 70% ethanol extract. DPPH free radical, ABTS radical, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities in both extracts were determined. Also, reducing power, SOD-like activities, elastase inhibition, and collagenase inhibition activities of these extract were assayed at 5, 1, 0.5, and 0.1 mg/㎖. Results : The total polyphenol contents in the ethanol extract of IMC were higher than those of MC (26.99 ± 0.89 mg/TAEg). And total flavonoid contents in them were very similar to both extract (MC; 7.25 ± 0.4 mg/RUEg and IMC; 7.44 ± 0.18 mg/RUEg). DPPH free radical scavenging activities, ABTS radical scavenging capacity, reducing power, and SOD-like activities of IMC-treated group showed significant increase compared to those of MC group in all treated concentrations. Particularly, DPPH free radical scavenging and elastase inhibition activities in IMC-treated group at 5 mg/㎖ showed similar with positive control group. Besides, IMC extract at 5 mg/㎖ concentration surpassed positive control (BHA or Vit. C) in SOD-like activities and ABTS radical scavenging capacity. Conclusion : These results suggest that IMC ethanol extract may be used as a natural antioxidant and a antiaging material for development of functional foods and cosmeceuticals.

The antioxidant activity of Desmodium oldhami (Leguminosae) was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The methanolic extract of D. oldhami showed the strong antioxidant activity. Five compounds, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnopyranoside (afzeline) (1), quercetin-3-O-[$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}6$)-$\beta$-Dglucopyranoside] (rutin) (2), kaempferol-3-O-glucopyranoside (astragalin) (3), genistein-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (genistin) (4), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (5) were isolated from the active ethyl acetate soluble fraction of D. oldhami through repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Among them, compound 2 showed the most significant antioxidative effect on DPPH free radical scavenging test. Compounds 1-5 are reported for the first time from this plant.
