In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of Baechu kimchi added Ecklonia cava on the activities of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase and its alleviating effect on the postprandial hyperglycemia in STZ-induced diabetic mice. Baechu kimchi added Ecklonia cava (BKE, 15%) was fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Optimum ripened BKE was used in this study as it showedthe strongest inhibitory activities on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylaseby fermentation time among the BKEs in our previous study. The BKE was extracted with 80% methanol and the extract solution was concentrated, and then used in this study. The BKE extract showed higher inhibitory activities than Baechu kimchi extract against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. The $IC_{50}$ values of the BKE extract against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase were 0.58 and 0.35 mg/mL, respectively; BKE exhibited a lower ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity but a higher ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity than those of acarbose. The BKE extract alleviated postprandial hyperglycemia caused by starch loading in normal and streptozotocin- induced diabetic mice. Furthermore, the BKE extract significantly lowered the incremental area under the curve in both normal and diabetic mice (P<0.05). These results indicated that the BKE extract may delay carbohydrate digestion and thus glucose absorption.

These studies were carried out to characterize the physiological functionalities of Codonopsis lanceolata, Cornus officinalis, and their mixtures. We investigated the antioxidative, fibrinolytic, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of them. The antioxidative activities of Codonopsis lanceoiata and Cornus officinalis were 87% and 90%, respectively. Addition of salt to Codonopsis lanceolata and Cornus officinalis did not affect its antioxidative activities. In spite of fourfold addition of Codonopsis lanceolata to Cornus officinalis, the antioxidative activity was conserved at 90%. The fibrinolytic activities of Codonopsis lanceolata and Cornus officinalis were 0.78 plasmin unit/ml and 1.74 plasmin unit/ml, respectively. Addition of salt decreased the fibrinolytic activities of both Codonopsis lanceolata and Cornus officinalis. A mixture (3:1) of Codonopsis lanceolata and Cornus officinalis exhibited a 21% increase in activity. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of Codonopsis ianceoiata and 100-fold diluted Cornus officinalis were 25% and 73%, respectively. The addition of salt to Codonopsis lanceolata and Cornus officinalis slightly decreased their ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities. According to the addition of Cornus officinalis to Codonopsis lanceoiata, the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of the resulting mixture were highly increased. We anticipate that these results will be used as basic data for the development of new bifunctional foods.

We studied antioxidant activity and inhibitory effect of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase from aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic fractions of Galla rhois. In FRAP and ORAC assay for measuring antioxidant activity, we confirmed that Galla rhois extracts had strong antioxidant activity and ethanolic and methanolic extracts were relatively stronger than aqueous extract. We used trolox as a positive control. In order to measure the inhibitory effect of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, we compared acarbose and Galla rhois extracts. As a result of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory assay, aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Galla rhois showed high inhibitory activitity and ethanolic and methanolic extracts were relatively stronger than aqueous extract. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of acarbose, aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic fractions were 0.45 mM, $0.53{\mu}g/ml$, $0.415{\mu}g/ml$ and $0.37{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. These results suggest that Galla rhois extracts can be a clinically useful anti-diabetic ingredient, indicating that it needs to be fractionated and isolated and should be further investigated.

This study was carried out to investigate inhibitory effect of extracts from the root of Paeonia lactiflora on postprandial hyperglycemia. Organic solvent (hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, aqueous) extracts from the crude drug were fractionated by high performance liquid chromatography. These fractions were examined to evaluate ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ (EC 3. 2. 1. 20) inhibition by microplate colorimetric assay. Among the fractions examined, the ethyl acetate fraction from the roots of Paeonia lactiflora showed potent inhibitory effects on ${\alpha}-glucosidase$. Therefore, further fractionation of the fraction was carried out to isolate the active principles. Finally, we isolated and Purified 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (PGG) as a active principle by activity-guided fractionation. These results suggest that the extract from the root of Paeonia lactiflora can be used as a new nutraceutial for inhibition on postprandial hyperglycemia and PGG might be a candidate for developing an ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitor.

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.

In this study ethanol extracts of aerial part of Geranium thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. was investigated for their ability to inhibit a-glucosidase, and thus was fractionated using two organic solvents, including dichloromethane, ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate-soluble fraction, which manifested potent enzyme inhibitory properties, was then followed by tracking down the active compound by combining HPLC micro-fractionation to an enzyme assay in 96-well plate. The ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity profile showed that two peaks exhibited potent inhibitory activity, and then the structural analyses of the two peaks were carried out by HPLC-UV-MS. The main ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory compounds in the ethyl acetate-soluble fractions of ethanol extracts of Geranium thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. were tentatively identified as geraniin and kaempferol-7-rhamnoside.

The aqueous extract from the fruit body of Lentinus edodes was evaluated for inhibitory activities against $\alpha$-glucosidase isolated from Spargue-Dawley male rats. A aqueous extract of Lentinus edodes exhibited 13.8% inhibitory activity on using 2 mM p-nitrophenyl $\alpha$-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate ($IC_{50}$ 75.3 mg/ml). The aqueous extract of Lentinus edodes inhibition type on $\alpha$-glucosidase was determined to be competitive inhibition. When it was oral administered to increase of blood glucose levels after STZ-induced in a dose dependent dietary. These results suggest that aqueous extract of Lentinus edodes effect a metabolism of intestine, and thereby reducing the increase of blood glucose after STZ-induced.

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.
