The fruits of Piper cubeba L. are used traditionally to treat respiratory disorders in Indonesia. In order to determine the compounds responsible for this activity, the fruits were extracted with nhexane followed by ethanol to give n-hexane and ethanol extracts. Based on tracheospasmolytic assay on these two extracts, the n-hexane extract was more active to inhibit trachea contraction than that of ethanol extract. Upon bioassay guided isolation of the n-hexane extract, a tracheospasmolytic active compound was isolated and identified as dihydrocubebin [(3,4),(3',4')-bis-methylenedioxy-9,9'dihydroxylignan] $(\underline{1})$. Compound $\underline{1}$ was tested further for its ability to inhibit histamine released from mast cells, using rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cell line and rat peritoneal mast cells RPMCs) as models; and $DNP_{24}$-BSA, thapsigargin, ionomycin, compound 48/80 and PMA were used as inducers for histamine released from mast cell. The test result showed that $\underline{1}$ inhibited histamine release from RBL-2H3 cells induced by $DNP_{24}$-BSA, thapsigargin and ionomycin. In addition, $\underline{1}$ suppressed histamine release from RPMC induced by either thapsigargin or ionomycin. However, $\underline{1}$ did not inhibit histamine release from RPMC induced by either compound 48/80 or combination PMA-sub optimum dose of ionomycin. Therefore, it was concluded that the inhibitory effects of $\underline{1}$ on the histamine released from mast cells may involve mechanisms related to intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ signaling events or downstream processes of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ signaling in mast cells.

화재원인물질을 규명하기 위해 화재현장에서 수거된 물을 포함한 증거물로부터 석유류를 용매추출하여 기체크로마토그래피법으로 분석하였다. 다량의 수분을 포함한 증거물에서 석유류를 추출하기 위해, HPLC 용 n-hexane을 10.0 mL를 가하여 30분간 흔들어준 다음 일정시간 방치한 후 n-hexane 층을 분리하고 기체크로마토그래피에 주입하여 크로마토그램을 얻었다. 얻어진 시료의 크로마토그램과 시너, 휘발유, 난방용 등유, 보일러 등유 및 경유를 n-hexane에 첨가하여 만든 인공시료의 크로마토그램과 비교하였다. 시료의 크로마토그램은 비교적 끓는점이 낮은 시너와 휘발유의 크로마토그램과 확연히 차이가 났으며, 난방용 등유와 보일러용 등유는 머무름 시간에 따라 다른 피크 패턴을 보였다. 이에 비해 경유의 크로마토그램과는 유사한 피크패턴을 보였고, 시료에 일정량의 경유를 첨가한 후 측정한 시료의 크로마토그램에서는 특징적인 피크의 면적이 증가하는 현상을 관찰할 수 있어 시료에 포함된 석유류가 경유라고 예측할 수 있었다.

Antioxidant is an important role to protect the human body against damage by reactive oxygen species. However, the excessive intake of such antioxidant is known to cause a serious poisonous influence on one's liver, lungs and circulating system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a safe natural antioxidant. For the purpose of developing natural antioxidant and antibacterial, the antioxidant activity and antibacterial effects of various extract solvents from Artichoke (Cynara Scolymus L.) leaf were determined. In this study, the extracts of Artichoke leaf dried from solvent extraction were examined by means of DPPH free radical scavenging activity and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. The effect of free radical scavenging compared with $\alpha$-tocopherol and L-ascorbic acid. In Artichoke leaf extract, evaluated by using DPPH and ABTS showed that the highest antioxidant activities were found to be in methanol extracts from DPPH radical ($IC_{50}$: $20.06{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$), ABTS radical ($IC_{50}$: $16.01{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$) and followed by ethanol > methyl chloride > ethyl acetate > n-Hexane. By using disc diffusion method, the antibacterial activity showed that the Artichoke leaf extract was found to be most effective against all of the tested organisms and the methyl chloride extract showed the most significant antibacterial effect against all of tests among 5 solvents extract, followed by ethyl acetate > n-Hexane > ethanol > methanol. As a result, optimal in antioxidant activity for Artichoke (Cynara Scolymus L.) leaf is methanol extract and for antibacterial effect is Methyl Chloride extract.

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
