본 연구는 CIA에 의해 유발된 DBA/1 마우스를 통해 류마티스관절염 바이오마커에 대한 두충 추출물의 효과를 평가하였다. 평가를 위해 류마티스관절염 동물모델 제작 후 100 mg/kg/day로 4주간 경구 투여하고 혈청 바이오마커, 방사선, 구조적 매개변수 분석을 통해 치료 효과를 확인하였다. 음성대조군과 비교하여, 두충 추출물은 염증 및 면역글로불린 마커(TNF-α, IgG 및 hs-CRP)의 생성을 유의하게 감소시켰고, 백혈구의 단핵구 수를 유의적으로 감소시켰다. 또한, 두충 추출물은 관절 파괴를 효과적으로 보존하고 관절 변형을 줄였으며, 골 밀도의 증가와 유의적으로 골 염증을 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과는 두충 추출물이 류마티스관절염 증상을 개선하는 것을 나타낸다. 따라서, 두충 추출물은 류마티스관절염 관리를 위한 새로운 치료 옵션이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Purpose : In this study we tested the hypothesis that eucommia ulmoides (EU) extract would improve disuse-induced muscle atrophy following hindlimb immobilization. Method : The hindlimb immobilization was performed with casting tape to keep the left ankle joint in a fully extended position. The rats in EU treated group were orally administrated with eucommia ulmoides water extract. After 2 weeks of immobilization, all animals were sacrificed, and the whole gastrocnemius muscles were dissected from both legs. The morphology of right and left gastrocnemius muscles in both EU and control groups were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results : Eucommia ulmoides extract represented the significant protective effects against the reductions of the gastrocnemius muscles weight and average cross section area to compared with Control group. Conclusion : Eucommia ulmoides has protective effects against immobilization induced muscle atrophy.

두충의 골다공증 억제 효과를 연구하였다. 난소절제된 흰쥐에 기본사료, 칼슘, 비타민 D$_3$, 비타민 $K_1$를 함유하는 조성물과 두충추출물을 추가한 조성물을 7개월간 투여한 후 기본사료만 투여한 대조군과 비교하였다. 골 흡수 지표로 deoxypyridinoline을 분석한 결과 칼슘 비타민 조성물 투여군의 경우 대조군과 비교하여 9.0%, 두충 추가 조성물 투여군의 경우 26.9% 감소하였다. 경골의 trabecular 골면적을 측정한 결과 칼슘 비타민 조성물 투여군의 경우 대조군과 비교하여 9.9%, 두충 추가 조성물 투여군의 경우 42.0% 증가하여 골다공증 억제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 두충 추출물이 RBL-2H3 세포의 ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase의 분비 억제와 HaCaT keratinocytes 피부장벽의 회복과 관련한 filaggrin, transglutaminase-1 (TGase-1), cornified cell envelope(CE)의 발현에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase 방출 억제 능은 13% 효능을 확인하였고, 피부장벽기능의 회복과 관련된 인자들은 발현과 활성의 정도가 매우 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 각질형성세포의 분화를 판단할 수 있는 CE 측정에서는 두충추출물이 양성대조군보다 더 좋은 효능을 나타내기도 하였다. 따라서 두충 추출물은 ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase 분비 억제에 효과가 있으며, 손상된 피부장벽강화에 영향을 미치는 각질형성세포의 분화 촉진에 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

This study classified 40 of 10 weeks-old male Sprague Dawley rats which have osteoporosis caused by glucocorticoid(GC) induction into four groups of 10 rats and made the subjects medicated them Eucommia ulmoides Oliver and participate in treadmill exercise. Group I was non-treatment after GC induction; Group II was treadmill exercise after GC induction; Group III was Eucommia ulmoides Oliver feeding after GC induction; Group IV was treadmill exercise and Eucommia ulmoides Oliver feeding after GC induction. In the bone mineral density and bone strength test, there was a statistically significant difference between the group I, II, III compared to group IV(p<0.05). In the osteocalcin level as one of bone formation indexes, there was a statistically significant difference between the group I, II, III compared to group IV(p<0.05). In respect to the calcium there was a statistically significant difference between group I, II, III compared to group IV(p<0.05). In respect to histological findings, the group IV showed mild femur disruption and lytic change on femur section. The above results suggests that Eucommia ulmoides Oliver medicated and treadmill exercise is effective to prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

The aim of this study is to investigate in vitro biological properties of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. bark. Ethyl acetate(EtOAc) fraction from aqueous extract of Eucommia bark showed strong antioxidant activity of $IC_{50}$ 19.2 ${\mu}g/ml$ by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) free radical-scavenging assay. The Eucommia bark extract showed $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity and inhibited growth of human liver cancer cell, suggesting its potential biological value of anticancer.

Chemical composition of the Eucommia ulmoides bark, including extractives, proximate, mineral, fatty acid and monosaccharide compositions, was studied The most abundant mineral was calcium (533.17 mg/l00 g). $\alpha-linolenic$ acid (24.7%) and linoleic acid (24.3%), showed higher contents among the fatty acids. Major monosaccharides of E. ulmoides balk were arabinose (13.94 mg/g), xylose (18.91 mg/g) and glucose (119.7 mg/g). From the bark of E ulmoides, four compounds were isolated and their structures were elucidated as caffeic acid (I), kaempferol (II), quercetin (III) and isoquercitrin (IV) by spectroscopic analysis such as NMR and MS, including cellulose TLC and other chemical evidence such as hydrolyzation and acetylation. The antioxidant activities of four isolated compounds were evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging, hydroxyl scavenging and reducing power assays. The results indicated that all the isolated compounds showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than $\alpha-tocopherol$ and BHT that were used as positive controls and these four compounds exhibited considerable reducing power and hydroxyl radical (OH) scavenging activity. Considering from the results above, it suggests that the E. ulmoides bark is a potential natural source of antioxidant material.

The MeOH extracts obtained from the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides were solvent-fractionated with EtOAc, n-BuOH, and $H_20$, successively. From the EtOAc extract showing Grab2-Shc inhibitory activity, a flavonol and a lignan compounds were isolated through repeated silica gel column chromatographies. By interpretation of several spectral data and adaptation of acetylation method, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined as 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-flavonol (quercetin), and 4,4',8',9-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-7,9'-cyclolignan {(-)-olivil)}, respectively. The compounds exhibited $IC_{50}$ values in Grb2-Shc inhibitory activity to be 93 and $210\;{\mu}mole/l$, respectively.

Geniposide, an iridoid glucoside, was isolated from the cortex of Eucommia ulmoides by repealed silica gel chromography and identified by its spectral data. The quantitative determination of geniposide with HPLC has been developed and this method provided a tool for standardization of the commercial Eucommiae Cortex.
