이 연구에서는 오이 methanol 추출물과 methanol 추출물의 분획물에 대한 항돌연변이 효과와 항미생물 효과를 조사하였다. Ames 실험계를 이용한 항돌연변이 효과는 Salmonella typhimurium TA100에서 간접 돌연변이원인 aflatoxin B$_1$에 대해 methanol 추출물은 1.25~5.0%에서 11~70%의 항돌연변이 활성을 나타냈었고, 직접 돌연변이원인 MNNG에 대해서는 46~85%의 항돌연변이 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 methanol 추출물을 분획하여 얻은 각 용매별 획분 중에서는 aflatoxin B$_1$에 대해서는 hexane 획분이, MNNG에 대해서는 butanol획분이 89% 및 95%로 가장 큰 항돌연변이 효과를 나타내었다. 항미생물 효과의 조사에서는 오이 metanol 추출물이 실험균주 11종 중 8종의 세균에 대하여 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이 중 K. pneumonia KCTC 2208, P. aeruginosa KCTC 2004가 clear zone 13 mm로서 가장 항균 활성에 민감한 균종으로 나타났다. 각 용매별 획분 중에서는 hexane 획분은 V. parahaemolyticus KCTC 2471에 대하여 항균효과를 보였고, chloroform과 ethyl acetate 획분에서도 약하게 항균 효과를 보였다 Methanol추출물의 농도에 따른 균증식억제 효과의 결과로는 V. parahaemolyticus가 가장 낮은 최소증식억제농도를 보여 500 ppm으로 나타났다. Methanol 추출물의 살균효과는 P. aeruginosa에서 1%의 농도가 0.5%의 농도에 비하여 약 10배정도의 빠른 살균효과를 보였다. 즉 초기 균수의 90%균을 살균하는데 1%와 0.5%의 농도에서 각각 26분, 250분이 소요되는 것으로 예측되었다.

본 연구는 차로써 이용이 증대되고 있는 구절초 꽃의 항산화 능력과 이와 관련된 유효한 성분을 탐색하고자 수행되었다. 구절초 꽃을 MeOH로 추출한 수율은 16%였고, MeOH 추출물을 다시 용매별로 분획한 결과 잔류 water > n-hexane > EtOAc > n-BuOH > $CHCl_3$ 분획물 순으로 추출수율을 보였다. 총 polyphenol 함량은 EtOAc분획물이 $195mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$으로 가장 높았고 그 다음으로 MeOH 추출물, $CHCl_3$, 잔류 water, n-BuOH, n-hexane 분획물 순으로 높게 나왔다. Flavonoid 함량 역시 EtOAc 분획물이 $143mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$으로 가장 높게 나타났으며 그 다음으로는 n-BuOH, n-hexane, 메탄올, 잔류 water, $CHCl_3$ 분획물 순으로 높았다. 구절초의 전자공여능과 총 항산화력 측정에서는 추출물의 농도가 높아질수록 활성이 증가하였으며 EtOAc 분획물이 $100{\mu}g{\cdot}mL^{-1}$에서 81.56%, 68.12%의 가장 높은 전자공여능 및 총 항산화력을 나타내었다. 구절초 MeOH 추출물과 EtOAc분획물을 HPLC로 분석한 결과 flavonoid 유효성분으로 quercetin과 luteolin이 확인되었으며 EtOAc 분획물 경우 각각의 함량이 $20.02mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, $1.65mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$이었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때, 구절초 꽃의 항산화력은 MeOH 추출물의 EtOAc 분획에 포함된 quercetin에 주로 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다.

In earlier investigations, seeds of Perilla frutescens(L.) Britt. cv. Chookyoupjaso were irradiated with 200 Gy gamma ray to generate mutagenesis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a hexane extract from Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. cv. Chookyoupjaso mutant 45 on the actions of anti-inflammatory activity on inducible nitric oxide synthase, and an identification of the major active compound. The hexane extract from P. frutescens exhibited activity of inhibition of a NO production ($IC_{50}$, $295.1{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$). The hexane extract was further divided into subfractions by silica-gel chromatogarphy. Inhibition of the NO production by various fractions was assayed in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Among the seven fractions, the 5th fraction was the most effective ($IC_{50}$, $19.5{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$). The 5th fraction suppressed the expression of protein of iNOS in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, and GC/MS analyses showed that isoegomaketone is a major bio-active compound in the 5th fraction. The result indicated that isoegomaketone has a good potential to be developed as an anti-inflammation agent.

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is involved in breast cancer and Myxococcus fulvus KYC4048 is a myxobacterial strain that can produce a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites. Although a previous study revealed that KYC4048 metabolites exhibit anti-proliferative effects on breast cancer, the biochemical mechanism involved in their effects remains unclear. In the present study, KYC4048 metabolites were separated into polar and non-polar (ethyl acetate and n-hexane) fractions via liquid-liquid extraction. The effects of these polar and non-polar KYC4048 metabolites on the viability of breast cancer cells were then determined by MTT assay. Expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin pathway proteins were determined by Western blot analysis. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The results revealed that non-polar KYC4048 metabolites induced cell death of breast cancer cells and decreased expression levels of WNT2B, β-catenin, and Wnt target genes (c-Myc and cyclin D1). Moreover, the n-hexane fraction of non-polar KYC4048 metabolites was found most effective in inducing apoptosis, necrosis, and cell cycle arrest, leading us to conclude that it can induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These findings provide evidence that the n-hexane fraction of non-polar KYC4048 metabolites can be developed as a potential therapeutic agent for breast cancer via inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

The flowers of Chrysanthemum boreale Makino were extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with n-hexane, EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$. Two compounds from the n-hexane fraction and one glucoside from the n-BuOH fraction were isolated through the repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. From the result of physico-chemical data including NMR, MS and IR, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (1), phytol (2) and zingerone $4-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (3). Compounds 2 and 3 were isolated for the first time from this plant.

During liver fibrosis, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) undergo a complex activation process characterized by increased proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition, which is the major pathological feature of hepatic cirrhosis. Therefore, suppression of HSCs activation has been proposed as therapeutic strategies for hepatic fibrosis. We tried to screen the antifibrotic activity of natural products employing HSC-T6, hepatic stellate cell lines as an in vitro assay system. In the present study, we investigated the antiproliferative activity of aerial parts and roots of Pulsatilla koreana Nakai (Ranunculaceae). Our present study shows that roots of P. koreana exerted more strong inhibitory activity compared to its aerial parts. In addition, among the fractions of the aqueous methanolic extract of P. koreana roots, both n-hexane and $CHCl_3$ fraction showed the strong inhibitory activity on HSC proliferation. Further study also demonstrated that the n-hexane and $CHCl_3$ fraction of P. koreana roots significantly inhibited the HSC proliferation in time- and concentration-related manners.

Nitrite scavenging activity of a methanol extract of Symphyocladia latiuscula was studied. The methanol extract scavenged the nitrite in a dose-dependent manner. The MeOH extract was then sequentially partitioned with n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$. The scavenging activity of the fractions increased in order of $CH_2Cl_2$, n-hexane, EtOAc, n-BuOH, and $H_2O$. Especially, the activity of the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction was comparable to that of L-ascorbic acid. Column chromatography of the most active $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction over silica gel yielded three active bromophenol congeners (1-3) which were identified as (2R)-2-(2,3,6-tribromo 4,5-dihydro­xybenzyl) cyclohexanone (1), 2,3,6-tribromo 4,5-dihydroxybenzyl methyl ether (2), and 2,3,6­tribromo 4,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol (3) respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate inhibitory effect of extracts from Artemisia capillaris Thumb. on maltase, sucrase, ${\alpha}-amylase$, nonspecific ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, and postprandial hyperglycemia. Methanol extract and organic solvent (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) fractions from the medicinal herb were determined for the inhibitory activities against maltase, sucrase and ${\alpha}-amylase$. The methanol extract from A. capillaris strongly inhibited maltase (57%) and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ (72%) at the concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Among the four fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) examined, the butanol fraction from A. capillaris showed potent inhibitory effects on maltase (73%), sucrase (33%), and ${\alpha}-amylase$ (75%) at the concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The butanol fraction from Artemisia capillaris also exhibited significant reductions (20%) of blood glucose elevation in mice loaded with maltose. These results suggest that the extract from Artemisia capillaris can be used as a new nutraceutical for inhibition on postprandial hyperglycemia

Hexane fraction of Oldenlandiae diffusae Herba(ODH) which was being used for the treatment of caner in oriental medicine showed the best cytotoxicity against L1210 and A549 in the solvent fractions. Antitumor substance isolated from hexane fraction of ODH was identified as ursolic acid(UA) by photometric analysis. IC50 of UA against cancer cells as SNU-1, HCT15, XF498, SK-MEL2 and A549 was $13{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $15{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $12{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $9{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ and $11{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ respectively. It significantly inhibited the metastasis to lungs and kidneys from pulmonary colonization assay and study on histological changes of organs and showed the enhancing effect on B cell dosage-dependently by FACS analysis. T/C % of UA against S-180 cells was 171 % and its cytotoxicity against SNU-1 iant was confirmed from the morphological changes by elctronic microscopes such as SEM and TEM that it induced undulated membrane 4 hr after UA treatment, and the breakdown of cell membrane and nucleus 24 hr after UA treatment.
