So Cheong Ryong Tang (SCRT) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of the bronchial asthma. In this study, the effect of steaming process on changes in 11 major compounds (homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, glycyrrhizin, 6-gingerol, schizandrin, methyleugenol, gomisin A and gomisin N) content and neuroprotective activity of SCRT were evaluated. Major compound content was slightly different with steaming produce. The contents of paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, 6-gingerol and methyleugenol were decreased and homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, glycyrrhizin, schizandrin and gomisin A were increased by steaming process. The neuroprotective activity of steaming SCRT was determined in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells by MTT assay. As a result, neuroprotective activity of a steaming SCRT was higher than that of a non steaming SCRT. This study demonstrated that neuroprotective activity of SCRT can be improved through steaming process.

Homosyringaldehyde was isolated and identified from the 80% methanol extract of roots of Cynanchum paniculatum. C. paniculatum has been widely used for the treatment of various diseases such as neurasthenia, insomnia, dysmenorrheal and toothache. This compound exerted significant neuroprotective activities against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in hippocampal HT22 cell line by 37.53% (at the concentration of 100 μM). We investigated mode of action of this compound. Homosyringaldehyde (100 μM) significantly decreased the ROS level and Ca2+ concentration in the oxidative stress induced HT22 cells by oxidative glutamate toxicity. Thus, our results suggest that homosyringaldehyde significantly protect HT22 cells against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, via antioxidative activities. As the results, we suggest that homosyringaldehyde may be useful in the treatment of neurogenerative disorders.

In this study, a high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector method was established, for simultaneous determination of three compounds, berberine, palmatine and geniposide in Hwangryunhaedok-tang, To develop and validate method, C18 column (5 μm, 4.6 mm×250 mm) was used with gradient mobile phase, water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and MeOH at the column temperature of 30oC. UV wavelength was set at 230 and 280 nm. Validation of the chromatography method was evaluated by linearity, precision and accuracy test. Calibration curve of standard components showed good linearity (R2>0.9999). The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) varied from 0.05 to 0.17 μg/ml and 0.15 to 0.53 μg/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) data of intra-day and inter-day test were in less than 2.99% and 1.90%, respectively. The results of the accuracy test were in the range of 98.36 to 102.52% with RSDs values 0.32 to 1.98%. The results of validation indicated that this method was a very accurate and sensitive assay.

Sipjundaebo-tang was a well-known restorative traditional herbal prescription that used to treat anemia, anorexia, fatigue and inflammation. In this study, we examined the bioconversion of compounds in the Sipjundaebo-tang (SJ) and fermented Sipjundaebo-tang with Lactobacillus fermentum KFRI 164 (FSJ) using established HPLC-DAD method. The chromatogram of FSJ has shown that the contents of six bioactive compounds 5-HMF, paeoniflorin, ferulic acid, cinnam aldehyde, decursin, glycyrrhizin in SJ has decreased. And the contents of unknown compounds (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) in FSJ were higher than each contents of SJ. The antioxidant activities of SJ and FSJ were conducted by DPPH free radical and Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging assay. Electron donating activity (EDA, %) value of FSJ has shown higher than 21.9% and 14.5% at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml for DPPH radical scavenging activity and H2O2 scavenging activity, respectively. Also, the neuroprotective activities of SJ and FSJ against glutamate-induced oxidative stress in a mouse hippocampal cell line (HT22) were evaluated by MTT assay. As a result, FSJ has shown higher neuroprotective activity than 56.5% comparing with SJ. In conclusion, the fermented SJ using microorganism could convert compounds in SJ and enhance antioxidant activity and neuroprotective activity.

프로폴리스는 식물에서 채취한 수지에 꿀벌의 분비물이 합쳐져 만들어진 아교성 물질로 세균이나 바이러스로부터 자신을 보호하는 기능을 한다. 본 연구에서는 한국, 중국, 브라질 유래 프로폴리스 추출물의 항산화, 항균, 미백, 항염 활성을 비교하고, 이들 추출물의 화장품소재로서의 응용가능성을 살펴보았다. 플라보노이드, 폴리페놀함량분석과 자유라디칼 소거능 시험을 통해 항산화 활성을 확인한 결과 한국, 중국, 브라질 프로폴리스 추출물 모두 유의한 항산화 효능을 보였다. 피부에 상재하는 미생물에 대한 항균효능을 MIC 시험법을 통해 측정한 결과 C. acnes 균에서 한국 프로폴리스 추출물이 다른 추출물에 비해 우수한 항균력을 보였다(KPE: 62.5 μg/mL, CPE: 250 μg/mL, BPE: 500 μg/mL). 또한, 한국 프로폴리스 추출물은 멜라닌 세포의 멜라닌 생성을 억제하였고, 마우스대식세포에서 리포폴리사카라이드로 유도된 염증인자인 산화질소와 PGE2 생성을 나머지 두 추출물보다 우수하게 억제하였다. 이들 결과를 종합하면 프로폴리스 추출물은 항산화, 항균, 항염 효능소재로 응용될 수 있으며, 특히 항균, 항염, 미백에서 우수한 효능을 보인 한국프로폴리스추출물의 응용가능성이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. Propolis is a sticky resinous substance that is formed by the combination of honeybee secretions and resin of plants, which serves to protect from bacteria and viruses. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of propolis extract from Korea (KPE), China (CPE), and Brazil (BPE) through antioxidant, antibacterial, whitening, and anti-inflammatory tests, and to examine their potential as cosmetic materials. KPE, CPE, and BPE showed significant antioxidant activities on flavonoid/polyphenol content and free radical scavenging activity. The antibacterial effect of propolis on skin flora was determined by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). KPE showed better antibacterial efficacy than CPE and BPE in C. acnes (KPE, CPE, and BPE: (62.5, 250, and 500) μg/mL, respectively). Furthermore, KPE inhibited the melanin synthesis in human epidermal melanocytes and production of nitric oxide and PGE2 induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mouse macrophages, which showed better than did CPE or BPE. Taken together, the propolis extracts can be applied to antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory ingredient for cosmetics, while KPE showed superior potential in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and whitening efficacies.

아토피성 피부염은 피부장벽 기능장애, 염증 및 만성 소양증을 특징으로 하는 다인성의 염증성 피부질환이다. 아토피성 피부염은 유전적, 면역학적, 환경적 요인 등의 복합적인 요인으로 피부장벽 기능과 면역기능의 장애를 유발한다고 알려져 있다. 고삼 추출물은 중국전통의학에서 사용되고 있으나, 이의 항아토피 효능에 대한 연구는 거의 진행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 아토피성 피부염의 주요 증상인 피부장벽 기능과 면역이상 개선에 대한 고삼추출물의 효과를 평가하였다. 고삼추출물은 피부장벽 기능에서 중요한 역할을 하는 각질세포막의 형성을 강화하는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 피부의 보습작용에 있어서 중요한 히알루론산의 발현을 증가시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 아토피성 피부염 병변에서 특이적으로 증가하는 황색포도상구균에 대한 고삼추출물의 효능도 확인하였으며, 고삼추출물이 황색포도상구균으로부터 유도된 전염증성사이토카인의 생성을 억제함을 확인하였다. 또한 피부 스트레스 등으로 부터 생성되는 신경전달 물질인 substance P에 의해 유도된 전염증성사이토카인의 발현도 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들은 고삼추출물이 피부장벽기능과 면역반응 개선을 통해 아토피 피부염 치료에 사용될 수 있는 잠재적 후보물질임을 제시한다. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and multifactorial inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and chronic pruritus. AD has a complex etiology that includes genetic, immunological, and environmental factors that cause skin barrier abnormalities and immune dysfunctions. Sophora flavescens (SF) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine, but little research has been conducted on its anti-AD efficacy. In this study, we evaluated the effect of SF extract (SFE) on improving skin barrier function and immune abnormalities, which are the main symptoms of AD. SFE has the capacity to enhance the formation of cornified envelope (CE) that plays an important role in the skin barrier function. In addition, it was confirmed that SFE increased the expression of hyaluronic acid related to skin moisture. The effect of SFE against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which increases specifically in AD lesions, confirmed that SFE inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by S. aureus. Furthermore, SFE was shown to inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by substance P (SP), the cause of skin neurogenic inflammation. These results demonstrate that SFE could be one of potential candidate agent for the treatment of AD by improving the skin barrier function and immune responses.
