민들레 잎과 뿌리로부터 물추출물을 제조하여 항산화 활성 및 라디칼 소거활성을 분석하기 위하여 linoleic acid에 대한 과산화물 생성저해율, DPPH radical에 대한 소거활성, chemiluminescence를 이용한 hydroxyl radical에 대한 소거활성, EPR을 이용한 superoxide anion radical에 대한 소거활성및 hydrogen peroxide에 대한 소거활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 민들레 잎의 물추출물이 뿌리의 물추출물 보다 지방산에 대한 과산화물 생성 저해율이 높았고, DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical 및 hydrogen peroxide에 대한 소거활성 역시 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The ability of bovine intact red blood cells to scavenge superoxide and hydrogen peroxide by superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase was investigated. Intact red cells(up to 0.4%) suspensions did not inhibit ferricytochrome c reduction by superoxide in the superoxide generating system. On the other hand, intact red cell(0.4%) suspensions almost completely inhibit ferrocytochrome c oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. The ability of intact red cells to scavenge hydrogen peroxide was mainly attributed to either membrane bound catalase or glutathione peroxidase. The scavenge of hydrogen peroxide by 0.1~0.2% intact red cells showed a trend of dependence on mainly glutathione peroxidase. However, at blood cell concentration higher than 0.3%, the process depended upon peroxidase-independent scavengers like catalase. Enhancement of ferrocytochrome c oxidation by red cells treated with aminotriazole proved that the protection against hydrogen peroxide was due to catalase, while the protection in the presence of glutathione indicated scavenging effect of glutathione peroxidase against hydrogen peroxide.

In this study, we demonstrated the antioxidant effect of the Caesalpinia sappan L. extract through the scavenging effect against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and the protective effect on protein damage and PC12 cells against cupric ion/hydrogen peroxide. Its IC/sub 50/ value of the scavenging effect against DPPH radical was 7.7 ㎍. Protection of its extract against oxidative bovine serum albumin (BSA)damage induced by hydrogen peroxide was more effective than that of vitamin C. The protective effect on PC12 cells by hydrogen peroxide was shown to be more potent in is extract than in vitamin C. DNA fragmentation analysis also supports this result.

Fucoidans were degraded by hydrogen peroxide under the electron beam (2.5 MeV) with various radiation doses (5 kGy, 10 kGy, 15 kGy, and 20 kGy) at room temperature. The degradation property was analyzed with a gel permeation chromatography (GPC-MALLS) method. An average molecular weight of fucoidan decreased from 99,956 at the irradiation dose of 0 kGy to 6,725 at the irradiation dose of 20 kGy. The solution viscosity of fucoidans showed a similar pattern to the molecular weight change. The number of chain breaks per molecule (N) increased with increasing the irradiation dose and concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The radiation yield of scission value markedly increased with increasing the irradiation dose up to 15 kGy. Also a 10% hydrogen peroxide concentration was more efficient than that of 5%. The structures of degraded fucoidan samples were studied with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that the degradation process did not significantly change the chemical structure or the content of sulfate group. The sulfur content of each sample was determined with an Elemental Analyzer. With increasing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, the ratios of sulfur/carbon, hydrogen/carbon, and nitrogen/carbon slightly decreased. The antioxidant activities of fucoidans were investigated based on hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. The ability of fucoidan to inhibit the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was depended on its molecular weight.

To show the effects of metallothionein (MT) on the activity of enzymes involved in the removal of reactive oxygen species, MT has been added to the assay systems of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and peroxidase. We have used assay systems of SOD based on NADPH oxidation and nitrite formation from hydroxylammonium chloride as an assay of superoxide breakdown rate. The two assay systems showed different results at the high concentration of MT. MT showed the scavenging of superoxide in the SOD assay system in the presence and absence of SOD. MT added to the SOD assay system behaved as an activator of SOD, but apo-MT behaved as an inhibitor. When MT was added to the assay system in the presence of a fixed amount of SOD, the breakdown rate of superoxide increased. The effects of MT on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and the activity of catalase and peroxidase decomposing hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. MT decreased the activities of catalase and peroxidase. We have concluded that the function of MT as an antioxidant might effect the level of superoxide scavenging and not the level of hydrogen peroxide.

혼합 두발염색제의 독성을 확인할 목적으로 체중 $230{\pm}20\;g$의 Sprague-Dawley종의 흰쥐를 대조군, 6% 과산화수소 도포 실험군, 2% 암모니아 용액에 5% PPD를 용해시켜 도포한 실험군, 2% 암모니아 용액에 5% PPD와 6% 과산화수소의 동량 혼합액을 도포한 실험군 등 4군으로 분류하여 2일 간격으로 피부 표면적 $16.5\;cm^2$ 당 25 mg이 되게 5회 도포한 다음 피부조직의 손상 정도 및 ROS 생성계와 해독계의 활성변동을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. PPD와 과산화수소 혼합액을 도포한 실험군에서 PPD를 단독 도포한 실험군에 비해 피부조직의 손상 지표인 ACP 활성이 현저하게 증가하였으며, PPD 단독 도포군의 조직병리에서는 관찰되지 않았던 진피층 내 모세혈관의 확장 등이 나타나는 것으로 보아 피부조직의 손상이 심화된 것을 확인할 수가 있었다. 이러한 실험 조건 하에서 ROS 생성계효소인 XO의 활성은 PPD와 과산화수소 혼합액 도포군에서 PPD 단독 도포군에 비해 현저하게 증가하였으며, ROS 해독계 효소들의 활성은 유의하게 감소하였다. 이상의 실험결과를 종합해 볼 때, PPD와 과산화수소 혼합액 도포군이 PPD 단독 도포군에 비해 XO의 활성이 현저하게 증가되어 과잉의 ROS를 생성시켜 ROS 해독계 효소의 활성을 억제함으로서 조직의 손상이 심화된 것으로 생각된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl (${\cdot}OH$), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) is reported to induce oxidative stress. ROS generated by oxidative stress can potentially damage glial cells in the nervous system. Cordyceps militaris (CM), a kind of natural herb widely found in East Asia. In this study, we investigated the free radical scavenging activity of the CM extract and its neuroprotective effects in $H_2O_2$-induced C6 glial cells. MATERIALS/METHODS: The ethanol extract of CM ($100-1,000{\mu}g/mL$) was used to measure DPPH, ${\cdot}OH$, and NO radical scavenging activities. In addition, hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced C6 glial cells were treated with CM at $0.5-2.5{\mu}g/mL$ for measurement of cell viability, ROS production, and protein expression resulting from oxidative stress. RESULTS: The CM extract showed high scavenging activities against DPPH, ${\cdot}OH$, and NO radicals at concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. Treatment of CM with $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in C6 glial cells significantly increased cell viability, and decreased ROS production. Cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression was down-regulated in CM-treated groups. In addition, the protein expression level of phospho-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38 MAPK), phospho-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), and phospho-extracellular regulated protein kinases (p-ERK) in $H_2O_2$-induced C6 glial cells was down-regulated upon CM administration. CONCLUSION: CM exhibited radical scavenging activity and protective effect against $H_2O_2$ as indicated by the increased cell viability, decreased ROS production, down-regulation of inflammation-related proteins as well as p-p38, p-JNK, and p-ERK protein levels. Therefore, we suggest that CM could play the protective role from oxidative stress in glial cells.

제주재래종 감귤류 10종에 대해서 수확시기별 총 폴리페놀 함량과 활성산소종 소거활성 변화를 조사하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 지각과 홍귤이 미숙과인 8월 하순과 9월 하순에 200 mg% 내외로 가장 높았고 대부분의 감귤종이 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 수확시기별 감귤과피의 superoxide anion radical 소거활성은 홍귤과 지각에서 60% 이상으로 가장 높았고 사두감이 가장 낮은 활성을 보였으며 홍귤과 지각을 제외한 감귤류의 수확시기별 차이는 크지 않았다. Hydrogen peroxide 소거활성은 8월 하순에 사두감이 73.8%로 가장 높은 소거활성을 나타내었고 그 다음에 지각이 거의 70%의 소거활성을 보였으며, 대부분의 감귤종이 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Hydroxy radical 소거활성은 대부분의 재래감귤종의 과피에서 비교적 높은 활성을 보였으며 지각과 당유자가 8월 하순에 각각 75.1%와 74.6%로 가장 높은 소거활성을 보였고, 그 외 감귤종도 60% 이상의 소거능을 보였으며 수확시기별 차이는 거의 없었다. 감귤이 성숙됨에 따라 hydrogen peroxide 소거능, superoxide anion 라디칼 소거능은 감소하는 경향을 보이나 nitric oxide 라디칼 소거활성은 증가하는 추세를 보였고, 병귤이 58.4%로 가장 활성이 높았으며 다른 활성산소종에서 활성이 높았던 사두감, 지각, 당유자가 활성이 가장 낮았다. 본 실험결과 제주재래종 감귤 중 특히 지각이 대부분의 활성산소종에 높은 소거활성을 보였으며, 이에 대한 구체적인 연구가 진행될 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.
