Chunghyul-dan has inhibitory effects on HMG- CoA reductase and pancreatic lipase. We investigated whether Chunghyul-dan has therapeutic effects on humans with hypercholesterolemia. This study was a case-control, open-labeled clinical study. Subjects were treated with Chunghyul-dan (600 mg/day) or Atorvastatin (10 mg/day) for 8 weeks. Serum lipids were checked at baseline after 4 and 8 weeks of medication. While, Chunghyul-dan showed significant lipid-lowering effects, it was less effective than Atorvastatin. In comparison with the histological controls, Chunghyul-dan's effects were superior to placebo. On safety assessment, there was no adverse effect with the use of Chunghyul-dan in hepatic or renal toxicity. In conclusion, we suggest that Chunghyul-dan is a useful herbal medicine for hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract. The goals of this study were to determine and evaluate the bioaccessibility of total anthocyanin and procyanidin in apple (Amasya, Malus communis), red grape (Papazkarası, Vitis vinifera) and cinnamon (Cassia, Cinnamomum) using an in vitro static digestion system based on human gastrointestinal physiologically relevant conditions. Also, in vitro inhibitory effects of these foods on lipid (lipase) and carbohydrate digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) were performed with before and after digested samples using acarbose and methylumbelliferyl oleate (4MUO) as the positive control. While the highest total anthocyanin content was found in red grape (164 ± 2.51 mg/100 g), the highest procyanidin content was found in cinnamon (6432 ± 177.31 mg/100 g) (p < 0.05). The anthocyanin bioaccessibilities were found as 10.2 ± 1%, 8.23 ± 0.64%, and 8.73 ± 0.70% in apple, red grape, and cinnamon, respectively. The procyanidin bioaccessibilities of apple, red grape, and cinnamon were found as 17.57 ± 0.71%, 14.08 ± 0.74% and 18.75 ± 1.49%, respectively. The analyzed apple, red grape and cinnamon showed the inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (IC50 544 ± 21.94, 445 ± 15.67, 1592 ± 17.58 μg/mL, respectively), α-amylase (IC50 38.4 ± 7.26, 56.1 ± 3.60, 3.54 ± 0.86 μg/mL, respectively), and lipase (IC50 52.7 ± 2.05, 581 ± 54.14, 49.6 ± 2.72 μg/mL), respectively. According to our results apple, red grape and cinnamon have potential to inhibit of lipase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase digestive enzymes.
