An ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor, SKG-3, was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum and its physico-chemical properties were characterized. It was a highly specific and effective reversible inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. It showed very potent inhibitory activity against a-glucosidase with an IC$\sub$50/ value of 4.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, but no activity for any other glycosidases tested. Enzyme activity could be recovered upon dialysis, thus providing evidence for the reversibility of the inhibition. A Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that the SKG-3 inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was competitive.

Maesa japonica (Thunb.) is an evergreen shrub belonged to the Myrsinaceae family, which was discovered in 2006 in South Korea. And, its biological functions have not been well studied. In this study, we determined the antioxidant activities, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory effects and antimicrobial activities of methanol extract and the solvent fractions of M. japonica leaves and twigs. The highest antioxidant activity obtained by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay and reducing power assay was found in the ethylacetate fraction of twigs methanol extract, which contained the highest level of total phenolic compounds compared to the other fractions. In addition, ethylacetate fraction of twigs extract exhibited higher inhibitory activities against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase ($IC_{50}=0.8{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) compared to the $IC_{50}$ of the buthanol fraction ($IC_{50}=16{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) of leaves extract. It showed antimicrobial activities against Bacillus atrophaeus and Bacillus subtilis subsp. Spizizenii. Although the data is too limited, the current study is the first report on biological functions of M. japonica.

가시오갈피 잎에 함유된 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase의 저해 활성 물질의 분리를 위하여 가시오갈피 잎 80% 에탄올 추출물을 극성유기 용매를 사용하여 순차 분획하고 각 분획층을 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase의 저해 활성 효과를 측정한 결과, EtOAc 층이 68.05%로 가장 높은 저해 활성을 나타내었다. EtAOc 분획층을 MPLC를 이용하여 fractionation-directed isolation을 수행하고 최종적으로 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성이 93.60%로 가장 우수하게 나타난 EAHC 분획물을 얻었다. EAHC 분획물을 prep-LC/MS로 분석하여 EAHCA와 EAHCB로 분리 정제하였다. EAHCA 분획물의 화학구조를 구명하기 위하여 $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR로 분석한 결과, 분자량 464.38 g/mol, 화학구조식 $C_{21}H_{20}O_{12}$인 hyperoside로 확인되었다. EAHCB 분획물의 화학구조를 구명하기 위하여 $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR로 분석한 결과, 분자량 464.38 g/mol, 화학구조식 $C_{21}H_{20}O_{12}$인 isoquercetin으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과, 가시오갈피 잎으로부터 분리 동정된 hyperoside와 isoquercetin은 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase의 저해 활성 물질을 가진 화합물로 향후 혈당조절용 건강식품 또는 치료제 개발을 위한 물질로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서 당뇨병의 예방, 치료제 및 건강기능 식품으로서 산업적 활용가능성을 평가하기 위한 기초연구로서 번행초 추출물을 사용하여 당뇨관련 효소인 $\alpha$-amylase, $\alpha$-glucosidase, $\beta$-glucosidase 그리고 aldose reductase에 대한 저해활성을 조사하였다. 번행초의 HX 분획물은 인간 타액, 돼지 췌장 $\alpha$-amylase에 대해 5 mg/mL 농도에서 각각 62.23%, 88.74%로 높은 저해효과를 나타냈으며, $\alpha$-glucosidase에 대해서도 HX 분획물이 1 mg/mL 농도에서 60.27%로 높은 저해효과를 나타냄으로써 현재 혈당강하제로 사용되고 있는 acarbose와 1-deoxynorjirimycin보다 높은 억제 효과를 보였다. 그리고 만성 합병증에 의한 시력장애, 신경성장애, 신장기능장애, 심장기능 장애 등의 심각한 당뇨병성 합병증 유발과 관련이 있는 aldose reductase에 대한 억제활성을 조사한 결과, 1 mg/mL 농도에서 번행초 DCM 분획과 HX 분획물이 각각 51.95%, 47.22%로 높은 저해활성을 나타냄으로써 당뇨병과 그로 인한 합병증의 예방에도 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 전 세계적으로 당뇨병 환자가 증가추세에 있어 당뇨병 치료제의 시장 규모는 더욱 확대될 가능성이 높은 가운데 지금까지 보고되지 않은 번행초의 항당뇨 효능의 우수성을 검증함으로써 바이오산업육성뿐만 아니라 신소득 작물로 순화재배를 통한 농가소득 향상에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effects of Polyopes lancifolia extract (PLE) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity, ${\alpha}$-amylase activitiy, and postprandial hyperglycemia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The results of this study revealed a marked inhibitory effect of PLE on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activities. The $IC_{50}s$ of PLE against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase were 0.20 mg/mL and 0.35 mg/mL, respectively. PLE was a more effective inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activities than acarbose, the positive control. The postprandial blood glucose levels of STZ-induced diabetic mice were significantly lower in the PLE treated group than in the control group. Moreover, PLE administration was associated with a decreased area under the curve for the glucose response in diabetic mice. These results indicate that PLE may be a potent inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activities and may suppress postprandial hyperglycemia.

몽골산 I. bungei를 80% 메탄올로 침지 추출하여 얻어진 추출물에 대해 n-hexane, EtOAc 및 n-BuOH의 유기용매를 활용하여 순차 분획을 실시하였고, 얻어진 결과물에 대하여 총 페놀함량, DPPH, $ABTS^+$ 라디칼 소거능 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 평가하였다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성은 페놀성 화합물의 함량이 높은 EtOAc 가용 분획물에서 $IC_{50}$ 값이 $148.7{\pm}1.6{\mu}g/mL$으로 우수한 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성을 확인하였고, $ABTS^+$ 라디칼 소거활성 역시 I. bungei의 EtOAc 가용 분획물에서 $IC_{50}$ 값이 $27.8{\pm}0.9{\mu}g/mL$의 매우 우수한 라디칼 소거활성을 확인하였고, 다량 존재하는 페놀성 화합물과 라디칼 소거활성의 관련성을 나타내었다. 또한 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 평가한 결과 EtOAc 가용 분획물에서 $IC_{50}$값은 $4.6{\pm}0.1{\mu}g/mL$의 강력한 저해활성을 나타내었으며, 이는 양성 대조군인 acarbose의 $IC_{50}$ 값인 $473.2{\pm}5.5{\mu}g/mL$과 비교했을 때 매우 우수한 활성을 나타내었으며, 다양한 화합물이 함유된 상태의 추출물 시료를 단일물질로 정제할 경우 더욱 우수한 활성의 화합물이 존재할 가능성을 기대하게 한다. 향후 이들 추출물의 활성물질 동정을 통한 활성 기작에 대한 연구가 필요하며, 본 연구결과로 보다 우수한 라디칼 소거활성 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 가지는 새로운 천연 기능성 소재 발굴을 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Eucommia ulmoides bark extracts by cold water, boiling water, 100% EtOH, 70% EtOH, 100% MeOH, 70% MeOH and $CHCl_3$ were assayed for their medicinal effects. The antioxidant activity of the extracts ranged from $IC_{50}$ 125.2 to $IC_{50}\;872.7{\mu}g/ml$ in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DDPH) free radical-scavenging assay, and cold water extracts had the highest antioxidant activity. $CHCl_3$ extracts had the highest inhibitory effect on angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) giving inhibition of up to 56.4% at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Extracts in 100% EtOH had the greatest inhibitory effect on $\acute{a}-amylase$ activity ($IC_{50}=174.6{\mu}g/ml$), and 70% MeOH extracts had the greatest inhibitory effect on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity ($IC_{50}=14.0{\mu}g/ml$). Taken together, these results provided the in vitro evidence on the ACE, amylase and glucosidase inhibitory actions of E. ulmoides bark that form the pharmacological basis for its antihypertensive and antidiabetic action.

Background: The plant Aster koraiensis has long been used as an ingredient in folk medicine. It has been reported that Aster koraiensis extract (AKE) prevents the progression of diabetes-induced retinopathy and nephropathy. However, although these beneficial effects of AKE on diabetes complications have been identified, the antidiabetic effects of AKE have not yet been completely investigated and quantified. In the present study, the glucose-lowering and antioxidant effects of aqueous and ethanolic AKEs were evaluated. Methods and Results: The glucose-lowering effects of aqueous and ethanolic (30%-, 50%-, and 80%-ethanol) AKEs were investigated via ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory assays. The mode of inhibition by AKEs on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was identified through kinetic analysis. The total antioxidant capacity of each of the 4 AKEs was evaluated by assessing their conversion rate of $Cu^{2+}$ to $Cu^+$. The content of chlorogenic acid and 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, the bioactive compounds in AKE, in each extract were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The AKEs showed potent ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity with mixed inhibition mode, and significant antioxidant capacity. Conclusions: These results of this study suggested that the AKEs tested had ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory and antioxidant effects. Among the extracts, the 80% ethanol extract showed the most significant ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with a half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$ value) of $1.65{\pm}0.36mg/m{\ell}$ and a half maximal effective concentration ($EC_{50}$ value) for its antioxidant activity of $0.42{\pm}0.10mg/m{\ell}$. It can therefore be used as a source of therapeutic agents to treat diabetes patients.
