사람과 어류에게 감염증을 유발하는 Edwardsiella sp., Streptococcus sp. 및 Vibrio sp. 의 해양 유해세균에 대한 해조류 추출물의 항균 활성을 조사하였다. 연구에 사용된 4종의 식용 해조류 중에서 감태 MeOH 추출물이 본 연구에서 사용 된 6종의 모든 해양 유해세균에 대해 넓은 범위의 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 감태의 MeOH 추출물의 유기용매 분획 추출물들 중에서, EtOAc 분획 추출물이 가장 높은 항균활성을 나타내었으며 6종의 해양 유해세균에 대하여 $128{\mu}g/mL$에서 $256{\mu}g/mL$의 MIC 값을 나타내었다. 또한, HPLC 분석에 의해 감태 EtOAc 분획 추출물에 phlorotannin 화합물인 dieckol이 다량 존재하고 있는 것이 확인 되었다. 결론적으로, 감태 추출물의 phlorotannin 화합물이 여러 유해세균에 대한 강한 항균활성을 나타내는 것처럼, 해양 유해세균에 대해서도 강한 항균활성을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

Marine algae (seaweed) encompass numerous groups of multicellular organisms with various shapes, sizes, and colors, and serve as important sources of natural bioactive substances. The brown alga Ecklonia cava Kjellman, an edible seaweed, contains many bioactives such as phlorotannins and fucoidans. Here, we evaluated the antioxidative, neuroprotective, and anti-apoptotic effects of E. cava extract (ECE), E. cava phlorotannin-rich extract (ECPE), and the phlorotannin dieckol on neuronal PC-12 cells. The antioxidant capacities of ECPE and ECE were 1,711.5 and 1,050.4 mg vitamin C equivalents/g in the ABTS assay and 704.0 and 474.6 mg vitamin C equivalents/g in the DPPH assay, respectively. The dieckol content of ECPE (58.99 mg/g) was approximately 60% higher than that of ECE (36.97 mg/g). Treatment of PC-12 cells with ECPE and ECE increased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Intracellular oxidative stress in PC-12 cells due to ECPE and ECE decreased dose-independently by up to 63% and 47%, respectively, compared with the stress control (323%). ECPE reduced the production of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and caspase-3 more effectively than ECE. Early and late apoptosis in PC-12 cells were more effectively decreased by ECPE than ECE treatments. From the results obtained in this study, we concluded that ECPE, which is rich in phlorotannins, including the marker compound dieckol, may be applied to the development of functional materials for improving cognition and memory.

Neurodegenerative disorders in the elderly are characterized by gradual loss of memory and cognitive function. Oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species is associated with progressive neuronal cell damage and death in Alzheimer's disease, one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. An edible brown seaweed, Ecklonia cava, contains a variety of biologically active compounds such as phlorotannins. In this study, we comparatively evaluated the total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and neuroprotective effects of the phlorotannin-rich extract from E. cava (PEEC). The total phenolic content of PEEC and dieckol was 810.8 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g and 996.6 mg GAE/g, respectively. Antioxidant capacity of PEEC was 1,233.8 mg vitamin C equivalents (VCE)/g and 392.1 mg VCE/g determined using ABTS and DPPH assays, respectively, while those of dieckol were 2,238.4 mg VCE/g and 817.7 mg VCE/g. High-performance liquid chromatography results revealed 48.08 ± 0.67 mg dieckol/g of PEEC. PEEC had neuroprotective effects in pheochromocytoma (PC-12) and human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells against H₂O₂- and AAPH-induced oxidative damage, partly due to reduced intracellular oxidative stress. PEEC treatment inhibited acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, these findings suggest that PEEC is a good source of antioxidants and neuroprotective materials.

The thermostability of antioxidant activity of dieckol, a phlorotannin isolated from brown seaweed Ecklonia cava was investigated. The thermostable antioxidant properties of dieckol were evaluated at 30, 60, and $90^{\circ}C$ for 7 days using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, and comparing its performance to that of ascorbic acid. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity and apoptotic body formation were investigated using DCF-DA assay and nuclear staining with Hoechst 33342, propidium iodide and flow cytometry. Dieckol treated at different temperatures during 7 days showed stable scavenging activities on towards DPPH and hydroxyl radicals. In addition, dieckol showed a stable protective effect against $H_2O_2$-induced apoptotic body formation in Vero cells. On the other hand, the radical scavenging activities and intracellular ROS scavenging activities of ascorbic acid, used as a positive control, were significantly decreased at $60^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ from on the 4th day and 3rd days, respectively. In conclusion, the results indicated that food grade antioxidant extracts containing dieckol derived from E. cava remain a stable during the temperatures encountered during the processing of food and cosmetics.

Hizikia fusiformis is well known edible brown seaweed both in Korea and Japan. It has been intensively studied due to its pronounced health benefits. In this study, the radical scavenging (antioxidative) activities of its hydrophilic phlorotannin constituents were studied. An aqueous extract/original extract (OE) of H. fusiformis was initially prepared with heat, enzymes and pH control treatments. Then the original extract was further fractionated (with methylene chloride and methanol) and crude hydrophilic phlorotannin extract (CHPE) was prepared. The radical scavenging activities of both OE and CHPE were determined by using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrophotometric assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl and alkyl radical assays. The CHPE reported significantly (p < 0.05) higher total phenolic (phlorotannins) content (1.23 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$) than that of the OE (0.21 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$). Both OE and CHPE have reported good radical scavenging activities and those activities were dose-dependent. The CHPE have demonstrated significantly higher radical scavenging activities than that of the OE. In comparison, the DPPH radical (6 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ M) scavenging activities of all the CHPE concentrations (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$) tested were significantly higher (37.3, 78.2 and 91.6%, respectively) than that of the OE counterparts (11.4, 34.6 and 61.7%, respectively). Alkyl radical scavenging percentages of CHPE at 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were significantly higher (34.3, 69.2, 80.4 and 88.7%, respectively) than that of the OE (16.6, 41.4, 62.3 and 77.4%, respectively). The percentages of hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of CHPE at the concentrations of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg ${\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were 32.5, 59.4 and 84.2 % respectively. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of OE was quite lower than that of the CHPE. Therefore, these results suggest that the hydrophilic phlorotannins of H. fusiformis are potential radical scavengers thus, a great source of antioxidative nutraceuticles.

다당류 및 플로로탄닌 등을 주성분으로 하는 갈조추출물 NX42가 인지능력 향상에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 in vitro 및 동물실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 NX42는 acetylcholinesterase에 대하여 온화하지만 용량의존적인 억제효과($IC_{50}=600-700\;{\mu}g/mL$)를 나타내었다. NX42로부터 추출된 플로로탄닌 분획은 현저히 높은 용량 의존적 억제 효과($IC_{50}=54\;{\mu}g/mL$)를 나타내었다. 반면, 플로로탄닌이 제거된 분획과 푸코이단은 억제효과가 없었다. NX42 및 플로로탄닌 분획은 과산화수소에 의해 유발된 산화스트레스 조건 하에서의 SK-N-SH 세포의 파괴를 유의성 있게 억제한 반면, 플로로탄닌이 제거된 분획과 푸코이단은 보호효과를 나타내지 않았다. 스트레스 조건 하에 있는 마우스의 학습능력에 미치는 효과를 평가한 결과, NX42를 섭취한 마우스의 경우에는 섭취하지 않은 경우에 비하여 유의성 있게 개선된 학습능력을 나타내었으며, 이는 in vitro 실험 결과를 바탕으로 볼 때, NX42에 함유된 플로로탄닌의 acetylcholinesterase 억제 활성 및 신경보호활성에 의한 것으로 해석된다.

Ecklonia cava is a brown alga(Laminariaceae) that is abundant in the subtidal regions of Jeju island in Korea. Phlorotannins were identified to be responsible for the biological activities in Ecklonia species. In the present study, triphlorethol-A, a phlorotannin, was isolated from Ecklonia cava and its anticancer properties were investigated. Triphlorethol-A was investigated whether it may show cytotoxicity effects against U937, HeLa, NCI-H460 and MCF-7 cancer cells by MTT test. As a result, triphlorethol-A did not show cytotoxic effects against tested four cell lines.

갈조류인 감태(Ecklonia cava)의 에틸아세테이트 분획으로부터 phloroglucinol, eckol, eckstolonol, triphlorethol-A, phlorofucofuroeckol A, dieckol의 6종의 phlorotannin이 분리되었으며, NMR 및 MS분석으로 구조가 규명되었다. 감태의 주요 활성물질 분석을 위하여, 분리된 6종 물질에 대한 항산화, 항염증 및 항알러지 효과를 평가하였다. 그 중 phlorofucofuroeckol A와 triphlorethol-A가 라디컬(DPPH, ABTS) 소거 활성이 높았으며, 염증 반응에 대한 활성을 분석하기 위하여 LPS를 처리한 대식세포주인 Raw264.7에서 산화질소(NO) 생성 억제활성을 측정한 결과, phlorofucofuroeckol A의 NO 생성 억제 효과가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 알러지 반응에 대한 억제활성을 분석하기 위하여 IgE-항체로 활성화시킨 비만세포주 RBL-2H3에서 분비되는 ${\beta}-Hexosaminidase$를 측정한 결과, dieckol이 농도의존적으로 가장 높은 억제 효과를 나타냈다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 항염증 및 항알러지 활성을 중심으로 분리된 6종의 플로로탄닌 중 phlorofucofuroeckol A와 dieckol은 감태의 알러지 염증 억제활성을 나타내는 주요 물질로 사료된다.
