Abstract: | Sixteen medicinal herbs were selected from a database on traditional herbal materials as well as literature on Korean plant
resources. Then ethanol (70%, v/v) extracts of these herbs were tested for inhibition of the urease activity of Helicobacter pylori. The urease activity of H. pylori was strongly (82%) inhibited by extract of Forsythia suspensa
Vahl. Active compounds in extract of Forsythia suspensa
Vahl were first separated by batch mode solvent extraction, followed by purification by silica gel and octadecyl silica gel column
chromatography using solvents of different polarity. According to NMR analysis of the last chromatographic fraction, we identified
the presence of betulinic acid and oleanolic acid, which are known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-HIV viral
activities. |
