This study was to investigate the physiological activity of cookies with Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder. Our results showed that the pH of the cookies ranged from 6.34 to 6.29, and the density ranged from 4.12 to 4.40. Increasing the amount of Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder in the cookies decreased the spread factor of the cookies and tended to decrease lightness (L) in the Hunter color value with yellowness (b) and redness (a) increased. For the textural characteristics, the addition of Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder increased hardness. The sensory evaluation showed that the cookies with Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder were preferred more than those without in color, odor, texture, taste and overall preference. Based on the results above, the cookies that contained 3% of Sanguisorba officinalis L. powder presented the best quality.

Objective : To establish a reliable tool between for the distinction of original plants of Sanguisorbae Radix, we analyzed the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sanguisorbae Radix and identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Materials and methods : The chloroplast genome sequence of Sanguisorba officinalis, Sanguisorba tenuifolia f. alba (Trautv. & Mey.) Kitam and Sanguisorba tenuifolia Fisch. ex Link obtained using next-generation sequencing technology were described and compared with those of other species to develop specific markers. Candidate genetic markers were identified to distinguish species from the chloroplast sequences of each species using Modified Phred Phrap Consed and CLC Genomics Workbench programs. Results : The structure of the chloroplast genome of each sample that had been assembled and verified was circular, and the length was about 155 kbp. Through comparative analysis of the chloroplast sequences, we found 220 nucleotides, 158 SNPs, and 62 Indel (insertion and/or deletion), to distinguish Sanguisorba officinalis, Sanguisorba tenuifolia f. alba (Trautv. & Mey.) Kitam and Sanguisorba tenuifolia Fisch. ex Link. Finally, 15 specific SNP genetic markers were selected for the verification at positions. Avaliable primers for the dried herb, which is used as medicine, were used to develop the PCR amplification product of Sanguisorbae Radix to assess the applicability of PCR analysis. Conclusion : In this study, we found that Fendel-qPCR analysis based on the chloroplast DNA sequences can be an efficient tool for discrimination of Sanguisorba officinalis, Sanguisorba tenuifolia f. alba (Trautv. & Mey.) Kitam and Sanguisorba tenuifolia Fisch. ex Link.

To develop a new anti-skin aging cosmetics or functional foods by using antioxidative activity and collagenase inhibitor, a potent collagenase or elastase inhibitor was screened from various extracts of medicinal plants and its optimal extraction condition was investigated. And antioxidative activity, antimicrobial activity and inhibitory of effect against collagenase activity were investigated. In the these results, we selected the Sanguisorba (Sanguisorba officinalis L.) that presents a potential biological activities. Sanguisorba which is very rich in triterpenoid saponin and tannins was recently reported its anti-oxidant activities and phytoestogenic activities in vivo test and many clinical studies. The experiments were carried out in vitro to determine anti-oxidant activities of Sanguisorba extracts on DPPH radical scavenging activity assay, Superoxidase scavenging activity assay, Elastase and collagenase activity assay. It show that the Sanguisorba extracts have the most significant anti-oxidant on free radical scavenging activity assay, and also inhibited significantly activities of elastase, collagenase. Further, Sanguisorba extracts are activated Type I collagen protein expression in CCD-986sk cells. These result suggest that the Sanguisorba extracts on DPPH radical scavenging activity assay, Superoxidase scavenging activity assay, elastase and collagenase activity assay, Type I collagen protein expression in CCD-986sk cells effected could be developed cosmetic ingredients for anti-aging.

Polysaccharide from Sanguisorba officinalis was separated and fractionated using DEAE-Sephadex ion-exchange chromatography and Sephacry HR-200 gel filtration chromatography. One of the fraction(Fr. II) was sulfated and its anticoagulant activity was tested in vitro. Sulfation could increase the clotting time 50 times compared to unsulfated one. Fr. II was hydrolyzed and its composition was analyzed by conjugation with 7-amino-1, 3-naphthalene disulfonic acid using HPLC and electrophoresis. Arabinose and galactose were mainly composed at the ratio of 4 : 1. In addition, xylose and rhamnose were also found.

Korean folk medicine 'O-I-Pul' has been used to cure arthritis, neuralgia, leucorrhea, snake-bite, vomiting and diarrhea. With regard to the botanical origin of O-I-Pul, it has been considered to be Sanguisorba species of Rosaceae, but there has no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. Morphological and anatomical examination of Sanguisorba leaves show that 'O-I-Pul' was the leaves of S. Officinalis and S. tenuifolia var. alba.

This study was undertaken to test for antiviral activity of the aqueous extracts prepared from 4 medicinal plants of Korea (Terminalia chebula, Sanguisorba officinalia, Rubus coreanus, Rheum palmatum). Aqueous extracts were assayed for the inhibition of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication by measurement of HBV DNA and surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in the extracellular medium of HepG2 2.2.15 cells. All extracts decreased the levels of extracellular HBV virion DNA at concentrations ranging from 64 to $128{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ and inhibited the production of HBsAg dose-dependently. Among the 4 tested plants, Terminalia chebula exhibits the most prominent anti-HBV activities. Our findings suggest that these 4 medicinal plants may have potential to develop as specific anti-HBV drugs in the future.

Immunosuppressors cyclosporine A(CsA) and tacrolimus(FK506), the primary cellular target of which is calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cells(NFAT) signalling pathways, decrease beta-cell insulin content and mRNA expression. The posttransplantation diabetes mellitus(PTDM) is a frequent complication in immunosuppressive therapy. The present study was to examine the effect of a crude water extracts of medicinal herbs such as Sanguisorba officinalis(SOE) on the immunosuppressive activity with lymphocyte and insulin secretion in insulinoma cell lines with RIN-5mF. It was found that SOE treatment had effect of immunosuppressor on lymphocytes and also significantly increased insulin secretion in RIN-5mF compared to other agents. we might suggest a mechanism on insulin secretion by HNF4a. Taken together, the present study suggested that SOE might serve as immunosuppressive drug in PTDM.

The effect of aqueous extract of Sanguisorba officinalis L. (Rosaceae) root (SOAE) on the immediate-type allergic reactions by anal therapy was investigated. SOAE (0.01 to 1 g/kg) dose-dependently inhibited systemic anaphylaxis induced by compound 48/80 in mice. When SOAE was pretreated at the same concentrations with systemic anaphylaxis, the plasma histamine levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. SOAE (0.1 and 1 g/kg) also significantly inhibited local anaphylaxis activated by anti-DNP IgE. SOAE (0.001 to 1 mg/ml) dose-dependently inhibited the histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) activated by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE. The level of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in RPMC, when SOAE (1 mg/ml) was added, transiently and significantly increased compared with that of basal cells. These results provide evidence that anal therapy of SOAE may be beneficial in the treatment of allergic diseases.

Background: Sanguisorba officinalis has been used in traditional Asian medicine owing to its beneficial effects on various diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of S. officinalis on the antioxidant system of Streptozotocin (STZ) and Alloxan (ALL) induced diabetic rats. Methods and Results: Triglyceride and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels decreased in the STZ-induced diabetic groups treated with S. officinalis extract (SOE) compared to the corresponding levels in the control groups. Moreover, in the ALL-induced diabetic groups, SOE reduced triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels decreased significantly in the STZ and ALL-induced groups treated with SOE compared to the corresponding levels in the control group. Further, Glutathione (GSH) levels increased but did not reach statistical significance. The levels of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) showed a tendency to recover with SOE treatment in the STZ and ALL-induced diabetic groups. In addition, Catalase (CAT) levels in the SOE treatment group decreased significantly compared to those in the control group. Conclusions: These results suggest that SOE might be an effective agent in attenuating oxidative stress in diabetic patients by improving blood lipid profiles and inducing the anti-oxidative enzyme systems.
