한국산 작약(Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) 뿌리를 사용하여 작약추출물(PLE)을 조제 후, 변패미생물에 대한 작약추출물의 항균력을 측정하였다. Paper disk 확산법에 의한 농도별 항균력 검사에서는 작약추출물이 농도에 비례하는 항균력을 나타내었다. 생육저해곡선의 측정에서는 50 ${\mu}g$/mL이상에서 미생물의 생육이 완전히 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. 열($100^{\circ}C$에서 45분처리) 및 pH(3~11)의 넓은 범위에도 항균력을 보여, 열 및 pH에 대한 작약추출물에 포함된 항균력의 우수한 안정성을 확인할 수 있었다. 전자현미경(SAM, TEM)에 의한 미생물생태변화의 관찰에서도 작약추출물의 항균물질이 세포벽 또는 세포막의 삼투기능을 상실시켜 미생물의 생리가 중단되고 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 ${\beta}$-galactosidase의 효소활성측정결과 작약추출물은 미생물의 세포막 기능파괴를 심하게 초래하는 것으로 예상할 수 있었다.

Objectives : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with pathogenic processes including carcinogenesis through direct effect on DNA directly and by acting as a tumor promoter. Therefore, it has been regarded that ROS may be a major target for cancer prevention. The root of Paeonia lactiflora pall (PL), a traditional Chinese herb, has been a component of effective prescriptions for treatment of liver disease. Also, there are some reports about the antioxidant activities of the extracts from PL. However, little has been known about the effects of PL against oxidative damage. This work aimed to elucidate the anti-oxidant effects of Paeonia lactiflora pall (PL) in the non-cellular system and cellular system. Methods : Antioxidant activities of PL were evaluated by hydroxyl radical scavenging assay and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating assay. Anti-oxidative effect of PL was evaluated by ${\varphi}X$-174 RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay in non-cellular system. In addition, DNA migration assay, expression level of phospho-H2AX, MTT assay and lipid peroxidation assay were performed for evaluate the anti-oxidative effect of PL in cellular system. Results : PL had a dose-dependent hydroxyl radical scavenging and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating capacity. In addition, PL inhibited oxidative DNA and cell damage induced by hydroxyl radical in non-cellular system and cellular system. Conclusion : Taken together, P. lactiflora pall may be possible for the application to a potential drug for treating the oxidative diseases such as cancer.

Paeonia lactiflora Pall (PL) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine in China, Korea, and Japan for more 1,200 years. PL has reported to have antioxidant activity and protective effect of cells from oxidative stress, although the mechanism has not been verified. FOXO3a is a transcription factor that binds to its target gene's consensus FOXO binding site. FOXO3a protein modulates the various biological functions including cell cycle control, apoptosis, DNA repair, and ROS detoxification. Therefore, FOXO3a activity is associated with cancer, aging, diabetes, infertility, neurodegeneration, and immune system dysfunction. Here we found that FOXO3a was activated by PL extract. Transcriptional target genes such as MnSOD, p27, and GADD45 were activated by PL extract. Protein levels of MnSOD and catalase were increased, consequently, ROS level was reduced in HEF cells by PL extract. These findings suggest that PL extract has an antioxidant activity through FOXO activation and thereby activation of FOXO target genes, MnSOD and catalase.

We previously showed that the root extract of Paeonia lactiflora might have anti-inflammatory effects. Paeoniflorin (PF) has been identified as one of the main bioactive components of Paeonia lactiflora, however its role has been well characterized. In this study, we tested whether PF and its derivatives, which is removed the hydroxy group from PF, might have anti-inflammatory effects. In the Nitric Oxide assay, PF and Paeoniflorin's derivative (PFD) showed 55% and 56% more anti-inflammatory effect, compared to LPS control, respectively at 250ug/ml. To further confirm, we examined the effect of PF on tyrosine phosphorylation of Erk MAP Kinase. It is well established that tyrosine phosphorylation of Erk MAP Kinase is related to NF-kB mediated inflammation pathway. We therefore examined whther PF and PFD might regulate Erk activity. PF and PFD showed 35% and 22% less tyrosine phosphorylation compared to Paeonia lactiflora Red Charm extract control, respectively at 500ug/ml. Taken together, these results suggest that PF and PFD may play a role in anti-inflammatory effects in the root extract of Paeonia lactiflora. This study will provide the basis to develop a platform for the inflammation-mediated diseases therapeutics in the near future.

Three year-old peony (Paeonia. lactiflora Pall. cv. Taebaek) was cultivated in green-house at Jan. 15, Feb. 15, or Mar. 15, respectively. The mean of temperature during the forcing cultivation was higher (air; $1.0{\sim}11.1^{\circ}C$, soil; $1.1{\sim}7.4^{\circ}C$) than that of open-field condition. From sprouting to flowering in peony cultivated at Jan. 15 was about 54 days, which is shorted the cut flower periods (ca. 26 days) compared with the open-field cultivation. However, earlier forcing cultivars were very susceptible to pathogens such as powdery mildew or gray mold. The yield in green house was also lower than in the open-field cultivation. The content of bioactive compounds such as paeoniflorin and albiflorin in green-house cultivars was similar that of open-field cultivars. These results showed the forcing cultivation time of peony at Feb. 15 in green-house was most desirable for commercialization.

In 2019, symptoms of Botrytis mold on the peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) 'Sarah Bernhardt' were observed during a survey of the commercial greenhouses of Gangjin County, South Korea. The initial symptoms, small brown spots, were observed mainly at the leaf margins. The lesions extended to the interior of leaves forming irregular spots in which abundant conidia developed. Fungal colonies were obtained from surface-sterilized tissue excised from growing edges of the lesions that were transferred to potato dextrose agar. Melanized irregular sclerotia were formed in these colonies after 40 days at 8℃. Molecular phylogeny based on sequences of genes for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, heat-shock protein 60, and RNA polymerase subunit II were highest for the PBC-2 isolate to the type strains of Botrytis cinerea, rather than other Botrytis species associated with peony diseases. Following Koch's postulates, healthy Sarah Bernhardt plants were inoculated with a foliar application of conidial suspensions of the isolate PBC-2. Following incubation under humidity with a 12 hr photoperiod for 7 days, symptoms developed on the leaf margins that were identical to those observed in the greenhouses. This study is the first report of Botrytis blight caused by B. cinerea on peonies grown in commercial greenhouses in South Korea.
