Down-regulation of melanin synthesis is required for recovery of pigmentary disorders and it is known that direct inhibitors of tyrosinase suppress melanin synthesis. We screened several oriental medicinal plants using B16/Fl0 cells and found that the methanolic extract of Cnidii Rhizoma down-regulated melanin synthesis effectively. Although the proliferation of Bl6/Fl0 cells was decresed by the methanolic extract of Cnidii Rhizoma, it did not appear necrosis. Bl6/F10 cells incubated with the methanolic extract of Cnidii Rhizoma showed reduced pigmentation and tyrosinase activity. Western blotting revealed that the amount of tyrosinase was decreased by the methanolic extract of Cnidii Rhizoma. These results suggest that the inhibitary effect of the methanolic extract of Cnidii Rhizoma on melanogenesis is due to the suppression of tyrosinase in Bl6/F10 cells and Cnidii Rhizoma is a candidate for an efficient whitening agent.

This study was performed to elucidate the influence on the plasma decursinol concentration after administration of combined decursin and Cnidii Rhizoma or decurisin and Bupleuri Radix extracts in comparison with single decursin administration. The identification of decursinol isolated from Angelica gigas was carried out by GC/MS and the concentration of decursinol in the plasma after oral administration was determined by HPLC. The value of area under the plasma concentration (AUC) and the maximal concentration (Cmax) of decursinol after administration of methanol and ether Angelicae Gigantis Radix extract was higher than those of single decursin-treated group. It was also found that the AUC and the Cmax of decursinol after combined administration with decursin and Cnidii Rhizoma were higher than those of decursin administration, whereas those of combined with decursin and Bupleuri Radix was lower. Moreover, the studies were performed with decursinol only or with combined decursinol and Cnidii Rhizoma/Bupleuri Radix, both of combined treatment increased the plasma decursinol concentrations compared with decursinol-treated group in rats. On the basis of these results, it is concluded that co-existing substances or co-administration with other drugs may influence the plasma levels of decurisinol after oral administration.

When extracting semi-volatile components of herbal medicines using hot water vapor, some substances may react with water vapor or oxygen, and some volatile substances may be lost, when using an organic solvent extraction method has the disadvantage that it may contain a non-volatile material and residual organic solvent. In addition, it is inefficient to separate semi-volatile substances from herbal medicines into each single component and conduct biological activity research for each component to determine the effective ingredient, and some components may be lost in the separation process. In this study, semi-volatile substances evaporated under two pressure-reduced conditions in Chinese herbal medicines such as Cnidii Rhizoma, Aucklandiae Radix and Amomum Fructus were separated by cooling with liquid nitrogen. Those were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the components, and this method may be used to study biological activities at the cellular level. The substances separated under reduced pressure, essential oil obtained by simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) method and substances by using solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) from Cnidii Rhizoma, Aucklandiae Radix and Amomum Fructus were analyzed by GC-MS. In the case of Cnidii Rhizoma and Aucklandiae Radix, there were some differences among the essential oil components obtained by SDE and those identified by low temperature capture (CT) and SPME method, these were believed to be produced by some volatiles reacting with water or oxygen at the boiling point temperature of water.

천궁의 메탄올 수용액 추출물의 진정 작용을 밝히기 위하여 staircase test를 시행하였으며, 근육이완 효과를 검색하기 위하여 rotarod test를 시행하였다. 진정 작용의 기전 구명을 위하여 GABA 및 glycine 수용체에 작용하는 약물인 picrotoxin, yohimbine, isoniazid, strychnine 등의 약물을 이용하여 발작 유도에 걸리는 시간을 비교 관찰하였다. 또한 생체에서의 안전성을 검증하기 위하여 Irwin의 행동시험 및 신경세포에 대한 독성을 평가하기 위하여 MTT test를 실시하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. Staircase 실험에서 천궁 추출물을 10mg/kg 용량으로 경구 투여했을 때 climbing수는 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, rearing수에서는 대조군에 비하여 42%의 감소를 보였다. 2. 30mg/kg의 용량으로 경구 투여했을 때, climbing수는 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, rearing수에서는 51%의 감소를 유발하였다. 3. 근육이완 작용을 탐색하기 위한 rotarod 실험에서는 대조군과 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 4. 천궁 추출물의 투여는 picrotoxin, isoniazid, yohimbine에 의한 발작에서는 큰 변화를 유발하지 않았으나, strychnine에 의한 발작 유도시간은 41%의 증가를 유발하였다. 5. 일반 행동에서도 특이한 변화를 유발하지 않았으며, 신경세포에 적용했을 때 특이한 독성 반응을 나타내지 않았다. 천궁의 메탄을 수용액 추출물은 현저한 진정 작용을 유발하며, 그 작용 기전으로서 glycine의 작용을 증가시켜 chloride ion의 세포내 유입으로 인한 억제성 신경전도를 유도한다고 사료된다. 또한 근육이완 작용도 나타나지 않았으며, 특이한 생체독성도 유발되지 않은 것으로 보아, 향후 치과임상에서 진정요법의 한 수단으로서 사용될 수 있다는 가능성을 제시한다.
