독일가문비(Picea ahies Karsten) 잎을 채취하여 건조시킨 후 분쇄하여 1.5 kg을 acetone-$H_2O$(7:3, v/v)로 추출하고 핵산, 메틸렌클로라이드, 에틸아세테이트 및 물 가용부로 분획하여 동결건조 시켰다. 에틸아세테이트 및 물 가용부를 Sephadex LH-20으로 충진한 칼럼에서 MeOH와 EtOH-n-hexane 혼합액을 용출용매로 사용하여 칼럼크로마토그래피를 실시하였다. 단리된 화합물들은 셀룰로오스 박층크로마토그래피(TLC)로 확인한 후 $^1H$-, $^{13}C$-NMR 등의 스펙트럼을 사용하여 정확한 구조를 규명하였고 FAB 및 El-MS로써 분자량을 측정하였다. 독일가문비 잎의 에틸아세테이트 가용부에는 (+)-catechin(화합물 I), (-)-epicatechin(화합물 II), kaempferol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(화합물 III), 4-hydroxyacetophenone(화합물 IV)가 분리되었으며 물 가용부에서는 (+)-catechin(화합물 I)과 protocatechuic acid(화합물 V)가 분리되었다. 각 분획물 및 단리된 화합물들은 DPPH 라디칼 소거법을 이용하여 항산화 시험을 실시하였으며, 분획물중에는 에틸아세테이트 가용부, 그리고 화합물중에는 (T)-catechin과 (-)-epicatechin에서 기준물질과 유사한 우수한 항산화 효능이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

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.

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

In this study, powder of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger (O. japonicus) was extracted with 95% ethyl alcohol and fractionated using a series of organic solvents, including n-hexane (hexane), dichloromethane (DCM), ethylacetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (BuOH), and water ($H_2O$). We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of these O. japonicus extracts on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Their effects on the expression of inflammatory mediators and transcription factors were analyzed by Western blotting. DCM fraction significantly inhibited formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Phosphorylation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}$B) p65 and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), one of its downstream proteins, were also suppressed by DCM fraction. These effects were regulated by upsteam proteins in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathways. Taken together, our data suggest that O. japonicus could be used as a potential source for anti-inflammatory agents.

In order to isolate substances that inhibit the hemolytic activity of human serum against eryth-rocytes, we have evaluated whole plants of the Orostachys japonicus species with regard to its anti-complement activity, and have identified its active principles following activity-guided isolation. A methanol extract of the O. japonicus, as well as its n-hexane soluble fraction, exhibited significant anti-complement activity on the complement system, which was expressed as total hemolytic activity. A bioassay-guided chromatographic separation of the constituents resulted in the isolation of three known compounds 1-3 from the active n-hexane fraction. The structure of these compounds were analyzed, and they were identified as hydroxyhopanone (1), $\beta-sitosteryl-3-O-\beta-D-glucopyranosyl-6'-O-palmitate$ (2), and $\beta-sitosteryl-3-O-\beta-D-glucopyranoside$ (3), respectively. Of these compounds, compound 2 exhibited potent anti-complement activity $(IC_{50}=1.0\pm0.1{\mu}M)$ on the classical pathway of the complement, as compared to tiliroside $(IC_{50}=76.5\pm1.1{\mu}M)$, which was used as a positive control. However, compounds 1 and 3 exhibited no activity in this system.

Objectives : This study was conducted to identify the antimicrobial anti-oxidative and tyrosinase inhibitory effect of three kinds of herbal plants, Polygonum cuspidatum, Chelidonii herba, Pharbitis nil L. naturally grown across the nation. Methods : To investigate in vitro anti-oxidative activity assay, antimicrobial effect and tyrosinase inhibitory activity, MeOH 80% extract, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water fractions of herbal plants were tested by diphenylpicrylhydrazyl(DPPH) method. Results : Bsutanol fractions of each plants showed about 90% on anti-oxidative effect. In case of tyrosinase activity, ethlyacetate fraction of Polygonum cuspidatum showed a potent inhibition effect. In the antimicrobial effect, ethylacetate fraction of Polygonum cuspidatu, hexane fractions of Chelidonii herba and the methanol 80% extracts of Pharbitis nil L. exhibited inhibition effect significantly. Conclusions : In MeOH 80% extracts, we couldn't found any extracts or fractions which have antimicrobial, anti-oxidative and tyrosinase inhibitory activity, however ethylacetate fractions of Polygonum cuspidatum showed effects commonly in these three assay system.

식물자원으로부터 항산화 물질을 확보 하기위해 한국 등에서 전통적으로 phytotherapy로 이용되어 온 Rubus crataegifolius Bge. 열매를 조사하였다. R. crataegifolius의 열매를 메탄올로 추출하였고 순차적으로 n-hexane, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate로 분획화하였다. 각 분획물의 항산화 활성은 DPPH와 $H_2O_2$에 대항 인간 primary 세포인 keratinocyte (HK)를 이용하여 세포 독성 및 효능을 검증하였다. R. crataegifolius 열매 추출물은 비타민 C와 비슷한 강력한 DPPH (75.04%, 50%)와 $H_2O_2$ (79.9%, 54.1%) 소거능을 보였다. 분획물의 DPPP에 대한 소거능을 측정하였는데 n-hexane fraction (HF)은 20.3%, diethyl ether fraction (DF)은 68.8%, ethyl acetate fraction (EF)는 67.1% 그리고 residue fraction (RE)은 67.1%의 소거능을 보였으며 $H_2O_2$에 대해서는 2.2%, 1.6%, 10%, 그리고 50%로 각각 나타내었다. H2O2에 대한 HK의 세포 보호능을 확인하기 위해 산화적 스트레스 모델을 확립하였고(1 mM) 0.005-0.02%의 RE 분획물에서 $H_2O_2$에 대한 보호능을 발휘하였다. 따라서, R. crataegifolius의 열매 추출물은 $H_2O_2$유발 상처에 대하여 HK세포의 보호능을 가지며 강력한 항산화 활성을 가지고 있다.

Methanol extract of dried persimmon leaves was refractionated using hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, n-butanol aqueous fractions. Among these chloroform fraction showed the highest inhibition rate on the mutagenicities of aflatoxin B₁(AFB₁) and 3,2' -dimethyl-4-amino-bipheny1(DMAB) in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100. Chloroform fraction was further fractionated into eight fractions by silica gel column chromatography and thin layer chromatography(TLC). The fraction 5 on TLC exhibited the highest antimutagenic activities in AFB₁and DMAB. 2,4-Decadienal, dihydro-4-methyl-2(3H)-furanone, hexanoic acid 1,4-bis(1-methy1 ethy1)benzene, heptanoic acid, phenol, octanoic acid, nonanoic acid and benzoic acid were tentatively identified from this antimutagenic fraction by GC-MS.
