The study was conducted to investigate the condition for mixed fermentation of Rhodilola sachalinensis with red ginseng using Lactobacillus acidophillus 128 and the changes of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities before and after the lactic acid fermentation was examined. In the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis extract, the pH and titratable acidity rarely changed, and the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased greatly. On the other hand, in the lactic acid fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract of 50% red ginseng content, the pH decreased, whereas the titratable acidity and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. The solid content of optimal mixed extract for lactic acid fermentation was 0.5%. Sugar content decreased during fermentation, but total phenolic compounds tended to increase during fermentation. The salidroside and p-tyrosol content of the initial Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract was 419.5 ㎎% and 60.1 ㎎%, respectively; after fermentation, the salidroside content after lactic acid fermentation decreased greatly to 81.8 ㎎%, and the amount of p-tyrosol increased greatly to 324.9 ㎎%. The DPPH scavenging activity of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed fermentate was 78.1% at 0.1% concentration, showing a tendency to increase as compared to 50.3% of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract before the fermentation (p<0.05); it was a higher antioxidant activity as compared to the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis or red ginseng.

Rhodiola sachalinensis fermentates by lactic acid bacteria were prepared using the adsorption process, and were investigated for changes of the main compounds and anti-oxidative activities during the adsorption and fermentation process. While the R. sachalinensis extract (RSE), which did not go through the adsorption process, showed little change in pH during fermentation and a significant reduction in the number of lactic acid bacteria, the pre-preparatory adsorption process was found to be helpful for promoting fermentation and for maintenance of bacterial numbers. The contents of total phenolic compounds mostly decreased during the adsorption process, but showed an increasing tendency to rebound during the fermentation process. The contents of salidroside and p-tyrosol in the RSE were 1153.3 ㎎% and 185.0 ㎎% respectively, and they did not significantly change after treatment with acid clay or bentonite as adsorbents, which were 1093.0 and 190.5 ㎎% by acid clay, and 882.2 and 157.3 ㎎% by bentonite. When the extract was fermented after treatment with acid clay or bentonite, the salidroside contents were decreased by 282.7 and 505.0 ㎎% respectively, but the p-tyrosol contents were increased by 714.0 and 522.4 ㎎% respectively. Compared to the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the RSE (66.8%) at the conc. of 0.1%, that of the fermented RSE, which went through adsorption process with acid clay or bentonite, was significantly increased to 79.4 and 72.7% respectively at the same concentration (p<0.05). Though fermentation by lactic acid bacteria was suppressed in the RSE, the results suggested that the adsorption process may promote fermentation without any change in the content of major active compounds. It is expected that fermentation by lactic acid bacteria could improve the antioxidant activity and various associated functionalities of R. sachalinensis.

This study was performed to compare the effects of immuno-modulating activities of Rhodiola sachalinensis A. Bor. fractionized by consecutive solvent separation. The Cytotoxicity of all fractionized extracts on human kidney cell (HEK293) was lower than crude extracts. Generally, the butanol and chloroform extracts showed less cytotoxicity on about 10.07% and 9.67% than the crude extracts. For human immune B and T cell growth, chloroform fraction showed the highest cell growth compared to the control. The secretion of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) on human B and T cells were increased by adding chloroform extracts. Also, NK cell growth was significantly improved up to nearly 30% by adding the supernatant of B cell medium grown with the chloroform fraction. It was also found that chloroform fraction could yield higher nitric oxide production from macrophage than untreated control cells. Differentiation of HL-60 cells was increased up to 131.9% after treatment with chloroform fraction extracts, compared to the control. These results indicate that the chloroform fraction of R. sachalinensis have high immune activation activity than others fractions and the crude extracts, implying that this chloroform fractions could be used a new functional material.

This study was performed to compare effect of immune activities of Rhodiola sachalinensis by various extraction process with different temperature and extraction solvents. Experiments were performed for investigate the immune activities on human B and T cell growth and secretion of their cytokines. Also, antibodies in serum were investigated in female ICR mouse by feeding the extracts of R. sachalinensis at doses of 40, 120 and 360 mg/kg orally for 15 days. The immune cell growth and secretion of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) on human B and T cells were increased by adding R. sachalinensis extracts compare to the control. Also, total serum IgG levels increased by feeding R. sachalinensis extracts. It can be conclude that optimum condition for efficient extraction of R. sachalinensis as functional material is slovent extraction process using water with ultrasonification at below 100℃ than typical process.

참돌꽃 캘러스로부터 elicitor와 전구체가 salidroside 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Elicitor로서 효모추출물, 연자성 세라믹, methyl jasmonate, jasmonic acid, ascorbic acid, 및 중금속 (CuCl2/CdCl2)을 캘러스 배양에 처리하였다. 효모추출물 0.2g/l농도로 처리한 결과 처리하지 않은 대조구에 보다 3.45배 증가시켰다. 사용된 elicitor 중 효모추출물이 가장 높은 salidroside 생산을 보여 가장 적합한 elicitor로 사료된다. 전구체로서 L-phenylalanine과 L-tyrosine을 배지에 첨가하여 4일 간 배양 처리하였다. Salidroside 함량분석 결과 캘러스로부터 전구체들은 유용물질 생합성에 영향을 주지는 않았다. 캘러스 배양에 첨가 처리된 L-tyrosine의 모든 농도의 경우에는 캘러스 생장뿐만 아니라 salidroside 생산을 감소시켰다.

본고에서는 초고압 추출 공정을 통한 홍경천의 독성 저감 및 항암활성 효과를 알아보기 위하여 실험을 실시하였는데 그 결과는 아래와 같다. 인간의 정상 신장세포인 HEK293을 이용한 세포 독성은 초고압으로 15분간 처리한 것에서는 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 최고 20.4%의 세포독성을 보였으며, 초고압으로 5분간 처리한 것은 22.5%로 초고압 시간이 길어질수록 세포독성이 낮아지는 것을 확인했다. 일반 추출물은 25.3%로 초고압 처리한 군에 비해 높은 독성을 나타내어 초고압 처리 시 독성이 저감되는 것을 확인하였다. 초고압 처리 군은 또한 HEL299를 이용한 세포독성 실험에서도 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 일반 추출물인 WE보다 5% 정도 낮은 독성을 나타냈다. 항암활성 측정은 A549, AGS, MCF-7, Hep3B의 암세포를 실험에 사용하여 실시하였다. 모든 암세포에서 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 75% 이상의 높은 억제활성을 보였고, 또한 암세포의 생육활성에 대한 정상 세포의 세포독성의 비로 나타낸 선택적 사멸도는 0.6 mg/ml에서 가장 높은 수치를 보였는데 모두 4이상으로 나타났으며, 15분 동안 초고압 추출을 한 것이 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 실험 결과를 통하여 초고압으로 인해 기존의 추출 방법으로는 추출되지 않았던 유용생리활성 물질들이 초고압으로 인해 조직과 세포막 파괴로 인해용출량 증가로 인해 수율이 증가하였으며, 홍경천의 독성 물질이 파괴되는 것으로 판단된다. 단순한 침전 추출법에 의한 추출방법보다는 초고압 추출에 의한 추출로 식물체에 함유되어 있는 성분 추출의 수율을 배가 시킬 수 있으며, 홍경천 자체 성분에 약간의 변화를 가할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 홍경천 성분의 변화는 초고압 추출을 통하여 에너지 수준이 제한된 수소결합, 전기적 결합, 반데르발스결합, 수소결합과 같은 약한 결합들이 분리됨으로써 성분의 변화가 있을 것으로 보인다.

The shoot tip and young leaf of Rhodiola sachalinensis were cultured to invest the plant growth regulator condition for callus induction, shoot and root regeneration. When the shoot tip was sterilized in 2.0% of NaOCl for 20min., the contamination rate was the lowest. And the survival rate of the culture material was good in carbenicillin 500mg/L treatment group. Callus was obtained from shoot tip and young leaf segments. NAA 0.1-1.0mg/L and 2,4-D 0.1-0.5mg/L alone treatment were shown to have a good response on callus induction from shoot tip culture. In the case of young leaf culture, NAA and 2,4-D 0.1-0.5mg/L alone treatment were good in callus induction. In culturing shoot tip NAA 0.5mg/L and BA 0.5mg/L, NAA1.0mg/L and BA 0.lmg/L combination treatment was good in shoot regeneration. The regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium supplemented with NAA and BA combination treatment. Especially, NAA 1.0mg/L and BA 0.1mg/L combination treatment was effective for root regeneration.
