Objective: To find biological functions such as antibacterial and antioxidant activities in several tropical plants and to investigate the possibility of antibiotic substitute agents to prevent and treat diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. Methods: Plants such as Poncirus trifoliata fruit (Makrut), Zingiber officinale Rosc (Khing), Areca catechu L. (Mak), Solanum melongena L. I (Makkhuayao), and Solanum melongena L. II (Makhurapro) were extracted by methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. The free radical scavenging activities were measured using 2-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl photometric assay. Antibacterial activities with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were observed by agar diffusion assay against pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, Haemopilus parasuis, Clostridium perfringens, and Pantoea agglomerans. Results: Poncirus trifoliata fruit methanol extract showed antibacterial activities against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens. Additionally, this showed the strongest antibacterial activity against Burkholderia sp. and Haemopilus somnus with MIC $131{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Areca catechu L. water extract showed antibacterial activities against Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, and Haemopilus parasuis. The MIC value for Haemopilus parasuis was $105{\mu}g/mL$ in this. Antioxidant activity of Zingiber officinale Rosc n-hexane extract showed 2.23 mg/mL effective concentration 50% ($EC_{50}$) value was the highest activity among tropical plants extracts. Total polyphenol content in Zingiber officinale Rosc methanol extract was $48.4{\mu}g/mL$ and flavonoid content was $22.1{\mu}g/mL$ showed the highest values among tested plants extracts. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that tropical plants used in this study may have a potential benefit as an alternative antibiotics agent through their antibacterial and antioxidant activities.

In order to evaluate anti -oxidant activities and protective effect against oxidatve damage, DPPH radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity were measured among methanol extracts prepared from natural medicinal plants. Fourteen natural medicinal plants which were reported to have anti -oxidative or anti-inflammatory effects were selected based on our previous report. In addition to the total methanol extracts, n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, n-butanol and water fractions were prepared from each total extract. DPPH radical scavenging assay was performed against 14 total extracts and all samples showed dose-dependent activities in various extent. Among those, 6 samples, methanol extracts of Euryale ferox, paeonia suffruticosa, Areca catechu var. dulcissima, Cinnamomun cassia, Alpinia katsumadai and Betula platyphlla var. japonica showed IC$\sub$50/ value lower than 6.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was found in ethylacetate fraction of paeonia suffruticosa with IC$\sub$50/ value of 1.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. Analysis of lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative damage in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79-4) cells revealed that the highest inhibitory effect was observed in methanol extract of Betula platyhpylla var. japonica. Lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity was observed as a dose-dependent manner in all samples used in this study. Among fraction samples, ethylacetate fraction of Alpinia katsumadai had the strongest inhibitory activity with IC$\sub$50/ value of 0.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) 감염된 baby hamster kidney (BHK) 세포에서 합포체 형성은 세포막 표면으로의 수송된 바이러스 당단백질 hemagglutinin-neuramidase (HN)에 의해 일어난다. HAU 값은 추출물의 농도가 25.0과 $3.2{\mu}g/mL$ 사이에서는 현저하게 감소하였으나, NDV 감염된 HAD (%)는 $25.0{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 광범위한 흡착능의 감소를 나타내 바이러스 당단백질의 세포내 생합성은 저해되지 않았다. 그러므로, 약용식물인 빈랑 메탄올 추출물이 바이러스 당단백질의 세포막으로의 수송과 함께 합포체 형성을 저해하여 항바이러스 작용을 하였다. 또한 빈랑 추출물의 저해활성을 조사한 결과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase에 대한 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 $10.0{\mu}g/mL$이었으며, ${\alpha}$-mannosidase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-mannosidase에 대한 빈랑 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 20.0, 40.0, $80.0{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 ${\beta}$-type glycosidases 보다 ${\alpha}$-type glycosidases에 대한 효소활성 저해능이 우수하였다. 따라서 $IC_{50}$농도에서는 세포내에서 당단백질 생합성은 저해되지 않으며 당단백질의 수송을 저해하는 것으로 판단되었으며 향후 항바이러스 관련 작용기작의 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

본 연구는 우리나라의 작물 재배지에서 문제가 되고 있는 뿌리혹선충의 환경친화적 방제를 위하여 30종의 약용식물(32 시료)을 선발하여 당근뿌리혹선충 2령충과 알에 대한 살선충 효과와 난 부화억제 효과를 검정하였다. 약용식물 추출물들 중 원화(Daphne genkwa), 건강(Zingiber officinale), 정향(Eugenia caryophyllata), 사군자(Quisqualis indica) 등이 1,000 ppm 농도에서 당근뿌리혹선충 J2 유충에 대하여 80%이상의 살선충 활성을 보였다. 이들 중 원화와 사군자는 125 ppm에서도 91 %와 99%의 살선충 활성을 보였다. 추출방법(메탄올 또는 헥산, 온수추출, 냉수 추출)에 따라 살선충 효과에 차이를 보였는데 건강과 사군자는 1,000 ppm 온수추출물 처리 시 각각 99%의 살선충 효과를 보였고, 냉수추출물에서는 36%와 98%의 살선충 효과를 보였다. 사군자는 모든 추출물 처리에서 높은 살선충 활성을 보였다. 빈랑(Areca catechu)과 원화, 청주항(Desmodium caudatum), 흑축(Pharbitis nil), 사군자, 건강 추출물을 이용하여 당근뿌리혹선충 알의 부화억제 효과를 조사한 결과 1,000 ppm 농도에서 원화와 흑축, 사군자 처리는 처리 7, 14, 21 일째까지 낮은 부화 수를 나타내었다. Pot와 인삼 밭에서 1,000 ppm 농도의 사군자 메탄올 추출물 처리 시 토양 중의 당근뿌리혹선충 밀도를 유의하게 감소시켰다. 따라서 사군자 추출물은 당근뿌리혹선충의 환경친화적 방제에 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
