Objectives : This experiments were performed to determine the effect of OYakSoonGi-San extract on hypertension in spontaneous hypertensive rat and norepinephrine-induced arterial contraction in rabbit. Methods : In order to define the effect of OYakSoonGi-San extract on contracted rabbit carotid arterial strips, transverse strips with intact or damaged endothelium were used for the experiment using organ bath. To analyze the mechanism of OYakSoonGi-San extract-induced relaxation, OYakSoonGi-San extract infused into contracted arterial strips induced by norepinephrine after treatment of indomethacin, $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine$, methylene blue or tetraethylammonium chloride. Results : Blood pressure was significantly decreased five days after administration of OYakSoonGi-San extract. The relaxation effect of OYakSoonGi-San extract was dependent on the presence of endothelium, showing that OYakSoonGi-San extract-induced relaxation was not observed in the strips without endothelium. Also OYakSoonGi-San extract-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited in arterial strips which were contracted by high $K^+$. OYakSoonGi-San extract-indeced relaxation was significantly inhibited by the pre-treatment of $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine$ or methylene blue, but it was not observed in the strips pre-treated with indomethacin or tetraethylammonium chloride. When additive application of $Ca^{2+}$ in arterial strips which were pre-contracted by norepinephrine in a $Ca^{2+}$-free solution, arterial contraction was increased. But contractile response to $Ca^{2+}$ was attenuated by pre-treatment of OYakSoonGi-San extract. Conclusions : These results demonstrated that OYakSoonGi-San could be applied effectively to hypertension and may inhibit agonist-induced contraction through an decrease influx of extra-cellular $Ca^{2+}$ by the formation of nitric oxide in the vascular endothelial cells.

국내산 재배 생약류의 용매추출물의 항산화력 비교를 위해 28가지 생약류를 methylene chloride로 각각 추출한 후 linoleic acid에 1,000 ppm 첨가하여 항산화력을 비교하였다. 28종의 생약 methylene chloride 추출물들은 대조구에 비해 다소 차이는 있으나 모두 항산화력을 나타내었다. 황금추출물은 BHA와 비슷한 수준의 항산화력을 보였으며, 목단과 맥문동은 황금보다는 효과가 떨어졌으나 비교적 높은 항산화 효과를 나타내었다. Methylene chloride 추출물의 항산화 효과는 황금이 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났으므로 극성이 서로 다른 9가지용매로 추출하였을 때 전반적으로 극성이 높아질수록 수율이 높아졌다. 국내산 생약류의 생리활성을 알아보기 위하여 열수추출물의 아질산염 소거작용, 전자공여 작용 그리고 항보체 활성을 조사하였다.

회향(Foeniculum vulgare) 열매의 메탄올 추출물과 분획물(hexane, methylene chloride, ethylacetate, n-butanol)을 cell culture model system을 이용하여 항염증 활성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해, LPS처리로 염증이 유도된 RAW 264.7 macrophage에서 시료가 세포독성을 나타나지 않는 $100{\mu}g/ml$의 농도를 처리한 후 염증매개물질인 NO, PGE2, 염증성 사이토카인($IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 및 TNF-${\alpha}$) 생성 및 mRNA 발현을 측정하였다. 그 결과 hexane, methylene chloride 및 ethylacetate 분획물은 대조군에 비해 NO, PGE2 생성을 억제하였으며, 이는 iNOS, COX-2 mRNA 발현 저해에서 기인함을 확인하였다. Methylene chloride와 ethylacetate 분획물은 $100{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 생성 및 mRNA 발현을 효과적으로 억제하였으며, 특히 ethyl acetate 분획물은 TNF-${\alpha}$ 의 생성과 mRNA발현을 유의적으로 저해하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 회향 및 회향 분획물의 항염증 활성을 확인하였으며, 이는 염증 매개물질인 NO, PGE2 그리고 염증성 사이토카인 mRNA 활성 및 분비 억제에 의한 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives : This experiments were performed to determine the effect of Linderae Radix extract on norepinephrine-induced arterial contraction in rabbit. Methods : In order to investigate the effect of Linderae Radix extract on contracted rabbit carotid arterial strips, transverse strips with intact or damaged endothelium were used for the experiment using organ bath. To analyze the mechanism of Linderae Radix extract-induced relaxation, Linderae Radix extract infused into contracted arterial strips induced by norepinephrine after treatment of indomethacin, tetraethylammonium chloride, $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine$ or methylene blue. Results : Linderae Radix extract relax arterial strip with endothelium contracted by norepinephrine, but in the strips without endothelium, Linderae Radix extract-induced relaxation was significantly inhibited. Linderae Radix extract-induced relaxation was decreased by the pre-treatment of $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine$ or methylene blue, but it was not observed in the strips pre-treated with indomethacin or tetraethylammonium chloride. When $Ca^{2+}$ was applied, the strips which were contracted by norepinephrine in a $Ca^{2+}$-free solution, arterial contraction was increased. But pre-treatment of Linderae Radix extract inhibited contractile response to norepinephrine and $Ca^{2+}$. Conclusions : We suggest that Linderae Radix may suppress influx of extra-cellular $Ca^{2+}$ through the formation of nitric oxide, and release of intra-cellular $Ca^{2+}$.

This study describes the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and melanogenesis inhibition activities of methanol extract and various organic solvent fractions of Arecae Pericarpium. We examined the inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine (DPPH) scavenging activity, mushroom tyrosinase inhibition activity and melanin contents. The study showed that, among all tested fractions, methylene chloride fraction showed the strongest inhibition of LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells ($IC_{50}$ value $8.89{\mu}g/mL$) and DPPH radical scavenging activity ($EC_{50}$ value $21.39{\mu}g/mL$). Methylene chloride and ethyl acetate fractions similarly inhibited mushroom tyrosinase activity. Methanol extract exhibited strongest reduction of melanin content in B16F10 melanoma cells. Based on the bioactivity assay results, methylene chloride and ethyl acetate fractions were further separated. Eight phenolic compounds were isolated, which are dimeric syringol (1), catechol (2), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3), vanillin (4), 4-hydroxyacetophenone (5), apocynin (6), protocatechuic acid (7) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (8). Among the isolated compounds tested, catechol showed the strongest inhibition of LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. Catechol also showed the concentration-dependent NF-${\kappa}B$ inhibition activity. Arecae Pericarpium might have potentials to be developed as anti-inflammatory agent or dermatological product for skin-whitening agent.

Effects of root, stem and leaf extract of sancho (Zanthoxylum schinifolium) on the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the hepatic microsome of rat, DPPH radical scavenging activity and activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT) were examined in vitro. The highest inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation was observed by ethyl acetate fraction than that of methylene chloride fraction of the root and stem extracts. The high inhibition of lipid peroxidation was determined in the leaf, the root and the stem in order. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethyl acetate fraction was higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extract. It was similar to the inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in 2.500mg/mL of ethyl acetate fraction and it was 4.4 fold higher than that of $\alpha-tocopherol$, as an antioxidant standard. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was dependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.125-5.000 mg/mL. The throm-boplastin times were higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extracts. The leaf extract showed the highest antithrombogenic effect followed by the stem and then the root extract. The activated partial thromboplastin times were ependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.100-2.000 mg/mL. Consequently, the effects of antioxidative, DPPH radical scavenging activity and antithrombogenic of Z. schinifolium was observed due to the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the DPPH radical scavenging activity by methylene chloride, n-butanol and ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf extract.

This study was undertaken to define the mechanism of Siegesbeckiae Herba-induced relaxation in rabbit common carotid artery contracted by agonists. In order to investigate the effect of Siegesbeckiae Herba on contracted rabbit carotid arterial strips, transverse strips with intact or damaged endothelium were used for the experiment using organ bath. To analyze the mechanism of Siegesbeckiae Herba-induced relaxation, Siegesbeckiae Herba extract infused into contracted arterial strips induced by agonists after treatment of lanthanum chloride, indomethacin, atropine, $N\omega-nitro-{_L}-arginine$, cobalt chloride or methylene blue. The relaxation effect of Siegesbeckiae Herba was dependent on the presence of endothelium, showing that Siegesbeckiae Herba-induced relaxation was not observed in the strips without endothelium. The endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by Siegesbeckiae Herba was suppressed by the pretreatment of lanthanum chloride, $N\omega-nitro-{_L}-arginine$, cobalt chloride or methylene blue, but it was not observed in the strips pretreated with indomethacin or atropine. These results demonstrated that Siegesbeckiae Herba may inhibit agonist-induced contraction through an increase in the cyclic GMP by the production of nitric oxide in the vascular endothelial cells.

본 연구에서는 식물세포배양으로부터 항암물질 paclitaxel을 고 순도, 고 수율로 분리 가능한 액-액 추출 공정에서의 주요 공정 변수들을 최적화 하였다. 액-액 추출을 위한 최적의 유기용매 (methylene chloride) 첨가량, 추출횟수, 혼합시간, 정체시간은 각각 0.28 (v/v), 3 (times), 30 min, and 40 min 임을 알 수 있었다. 액-액 추출 공정은 특히 메탄올을 이용한 biomass 추출물에 포함되어 있는 다량의 극성불순물을 제거하는데 매우 효과적이었다. 또한 액-액 추출 후 농축조건으로는 후속공정에서의 높은 순도의 paclitaxel 뿐만 아니라 작업의 용이성 측면에서 액-액 추출액을 rotary evaporator로 완전히 농축하는 것이 가장 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.
