The oxidative stress causes many diseases like cancer, aging, cardiovascular disease, degenerative neurological disorders (Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer's disease) by damage of cell membrane, protein deformation, and damage of DNA due to the oxidation of lipid of cell membrane, protein of tissue or enzyme, carbohydrate, and DNA. It is caused by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is produced in the metabolic process of oxygen in cell. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in cell systemize the antioxidative enzymes to control the oxidative stress. In this research, it is measured that the survival rate of cell by the typical isoflavonoid of daidzein or genistein, activity of antioxidative enzyme, and ROS level, in order to study the effect of isoflavonoid over the ROS production in cell and antioxidative system. As the similar action of the isoflavonoid with the estrogen is examined, women are encouraged to get bean. In view of this trend, it is very important to find out a combination medicine that lowers the oxidative stress caused by the daidzein in the ovarian cell. In the combined treatment of the typical antioxidant of vitamin C to oxidative stress which induced by daidzein recover the control level particularly lowering the ROS in cell by 30%. However, it made no effect in the combined treatment with genistein. Therefore, the research took the combination effect of daidzein with vitamin C in order to check it effect over the antioxidative system. In conclusion, it was disclosed that the oxidative stress caused by daidzein is related to the lowering activity of SOD, and the specific combination effect of daidzein with vitamin C is related to the recovery of SOD activity.

The purpose of this study was to measure the bioactivity and antioxidant activity of peel from Gardenia jasminoides fructus Ellis (GJE) in Namhae, Korea, following some established methods. CM (Chloroform:Methanol, 2:1, v/v), 70% ethanol, and n-butanol extracts were collected. Flavonoid content and value as a functional food ingredient of GJE peel was investigated through assessing antioxidant [DPPH (1,1'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)], and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities; superoxide dismutase like ability; ferrous ion-chelating capacity; and tannin content by solvent extraction. Solvent extract antioxidant activities significantly increased (p<0.05) at increasing concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 mg/mL). GJE peel extracts were less active than the positive control [ascorbic acid, BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), and EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate)]. Based on the results of this study, GJE peel could be used as a natural antioxidant source due to its high antioxidant activity and bioactive compound content.

Skin toner와 skin lotion의 두 가지 화장품 formulation에 기존의 파라벤류 방부제 대신 황금 (黃芩) 추출물 (1.0 wt%)을 첨가하고 Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) 및 Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) 균주를 접종하였을 때 이 균주들은 7일 이내에 99.9% 이상의 사멸율을 보여 황금추출물이 CTFA기준을 만족하는 항균력이 있음을 확인하였다. 다만 skin lotion에 접종된 Candida albicans의 경우 사멸율은 CTFA기준에 약간 미달하는 99.8%이었다. 또한 황금추출물의 농도가 1.0 wt% 이하일 때 균주의 생존율은 그람 양성균인 P. aeruginosa가 가장 높고 그람 음성균인 P. aeruginosa가 가장 낮았다. 전계방출형 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM)을 이용한 세포형태변화 관찰 결과 황금추출물이 P. aeruginosa에 대하여 더 큰 방부력을 갖는 것은 이 균주의 세포막이 황금추출물에 의해 더 심하게 손상되기 때문으로 사료된다. 고농도의 황금추출물이 더 높은 항산화 효과를 나타냈으며 1,000 ppm에서 80%정도의 SOD-유사활성을 나타내었다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of Acanthopanax sieboldianum (Makino) Koidz (ACS) as a potent antioxidant and antidiabetic agent. The antioxidative and alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities were examined using the methanol extracts and solvent fractions from ACS-leaf and ACS-stem. Antioxidative activities were measured by in vitro methods such as DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. When the chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions of ACS-leaf and ethyl acetate fractions of ACS-stem were compared with the control, the SOD-like activity was impaired even at the low treatment concentrations. In addition, the ethyl acetate fractions of ACS-leaf and ACS-stem showed alpha-glucosidase inhibition activities at low treatment concentrations. Analysis of the major components in the fractions of ACS-leaf and ACS-stem was also performed using HPLC. Finally, astragalin, isoqurecetin, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid contents were measured. Based on this work, we propose that ACS-leaf and ACS-stem have great potential as natural antioxidant and antidiabetic materials related to health benefits.

한방생약자원으로 사용되는 가죽나무(A. altissima)의 뿌리와 줄기, 잎의 열수 추출물을 농도에 따라 전자공여능, SOD유사활성, 아질산염 소거능을 측정하여 항산화 활성에 대하여 분석하였다. 그리고 통풍을 일으키는 원인으로 알려진 xanthine oxidase와 melanin 색소 합성에 작용하는 tyrosinase저해 활성을 측정하여 가죽나무의 생리활성을 분석하였다. 전자공여능은 1.0 mg/mL의 농도에서 뿌리(91.25%) > 줄기(67.03%) > 잎(47.94%)의 순 이었으며, SOD 유사활성능은 잎(49.07%) > 뿌리(14.31%) > 줄기(10.78%)의 순으로 나타났다. 아질산염 소거능은 pH 1.2의 조건하에서 잎에서는 93.33%, 줄기와 뿌리는 54.07%, 45.97%로 나타났으며, pH 3.0에서도 잎 추출물은 85.40%로 pH 1.2의 줄기와 뿌리 보다 높은 소거효과를 나타내었다. Xanthine oxidase 저해는 2.0mg/mL 농도에서 뿌리와 줄기가 97.44%와 97.41%, 잎에서도 92.09%였으며 1.0 mg/mL의 농도에서도 87% 이상의 높은 저해효과가 나타났다. Tyrosinase저해는 0.1mg/mL의 저농도에서 뿌리 추출물이 63.97%로 줄기(4.27%)와 잎(9.09%)보다 7배 이상 높았으며 2.0 mg/mL의 고농도에서도 뿌리는 67.38%로 줄기와 잎보다 높았으며, 농도의 증가에 따른 저해율은 큰 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과 가죽나무는 한방생약자원으로 이용되는 뿌리와 줄기뿐만 아니라 잎도 우수한 생리활성을 나타내는 것으로 생각되며 뿌리 추출물은 소량으로도 높은 tyrosinase 저해효과를 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다.
