Resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene), which is a polyphenolic compound found in a variety of plants such as grapes and wine, has been reported to have a variety of anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet, and anti-carcinogenic effects. Recently resveratrol of was reported to serve as an estrogen agonist in MCF-7 cells Based on its structural similarity to diethylstilbestrol, a synthetic estrogen, we examined whether resveratrol and its derivatives might be estrogenic using stable MCF-7-ERE cells. Resveratrol functioned as a superagonist at high concentrations (i.e., produced a greater maximal transcriptional response than estradiol) Among the resveratrol derivatives, 10 compounds showed significant estrogenic activity.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of naringin on the pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen in rats. Tamoxifen (10 mg/kg) was administered orally 0.5 h and 3 days after oral administration of naringin (5 mg/kg). The plasma concentrations of tamoxifen were increased significantly tv naringin compared to control. Absorption rate constant ($K_a$) of tamoxifen with naringin was increased significantly compared to that of the control. The areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the peak concentrations ($C_{max}$) of tamoxifen with naringin were significantly higher than those of the control. Consequently, the relative bioavailability (R.B${\%}$) of tamoxifen with naringin was 2-3-fold higher than the control, and absolute bioavailability (A.B${\%}$) of tamoxifen were significantly higher (p<0.05 with coadministration, p<0.01 with pretreatment) than those of the control. The increased bioavailability of tamoxifen in rats with naringin might be associated with the inhibition by naringin of an efflux pump P-glycoprotein and the first-pass metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4.

17β-estradiol (E₂)는 난소로부터 방출되는 호르몬으로 가정 및 축산 오폐수에 포함되어 환경으로 지속적으로 유출된다. E₂는 높은 에스트로겐 활성을 가지고 있어 갑각류의 발달과 생식에 영향을 미치는 내분비계교란물질로 알려져 있다. 갑각류의 발달은 탈피호르몬(ecdysteroid)의 신호 전달 과정에 의해 이루어지지만 E₂가 소형 갑각류의 탈피호르몬 경로 유전자를 어떻게 조절하는지에 대한 연구는 매우 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 기수산 물벼룩 Diaphanosoma celebensis에서 E₂에 대한 급성 독성 시험을 통해 24-h LC_x 값을 도출하였고, E₂ 노출에 따른 탈피호르몬 경로에 관여하는 7개의 유전자(CYP314a1, EcRA, EcRB, USP, ERR, Vtg, VtgR)의 시간별 발현 변화를 quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)을 이용하여 분석하였다. D. celebensis의 24-h LC₅₀ 값은 9.581 mg/l (95% C.I.: 7.697~11.927 mg/l), 24 h-LC₁₀ 값은 4.842 mg/l(95% C.I.: 3.683~6.366 mg/l)로 나타났다. CYP314a1, EcRA, USP, VtgR 유전자의 발현이 12시간 또는 24시간에 유의하게 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 E₂가 D. celebensis의 탈피호르몬 경로에 관련하는 유전자의 발현을 조절함으로써 탈피와 생식에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것임을 시사한다. 본 연구는 소형 갑각류에서 내분비계교란물질이 탈피 경로에 미치는 영향에 대한 분자 기전을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

다양한 경로를 통하여 수집된 누룩 11종에 들어 있는 효모와 곰팡이의 함량 및 다양성을 조사하였다. 누룩 현탁액을 DRBC 고체배지에서 배양한 후 고체배지상 곰팡이균들의 수를 콜로니형성단위(CFU)로 측정한 결과, MS4, MS8, MS10등 3종의 누룩에서 각각 $1,278.9{\pm}21.6$ (${\times}10^4$), $1,868.0{\pm}27.7$ (${\times}10^4$), $775.1{\pm}19.2$ (${\times}10^4$) CFU (20 mg 누룩당)로 가장 높은 곰팡이 밀도를 보였으며, 이들의 대부분은 Pichia anomala, P. kudriavzevii, Kluyveromyces marxianus 및 Saccharomycopsis fibuligera 등 효모가 차지하고 있었다. MS2, MS5, MS11등 3종의 누룩에서만 곰팡이인 Aspergillus oryzae, A. niger와 Rhizopus oryzae들이 우점균이었다. 각 곰팡이의 누룩에서의 역할을 알기 위하여, 곰팡이의 배양상등액을 취하여 amylase 및 ${\beta}$-glucanase 활성을 조사였다. Amylase 활성은 A. niger와 A. luchuensis 등 A. niger clade에 속하는 균이 가장 높았으며, 특이하게도 효모균인 S. fibuligera가 A. niger에 근접하는 amylase 활성을 보였다. A. oryzae와 R. oryzae는 당화능면에서 위 세가지 곰팡이에 비하여 뒤쳐지는 것으로 평가되었다. 한편 ${\beta}$-glucanase 활성은 주로 R. oryzae에서만 나타나서 R. oryzae가 전분의 당화 외에 곡류의 주성분 중 하나인 ${\beta}$-glucan의 분해하는 역할을 하는 것으로 추정되었다. 누룩의 안전성 평가를 위하여 분리된 Aspergillus 균들의 aflatoxin 생산능을 norB-cypA, aflR 및 omtA 유전자마커로 조사한 결과, 모든 A. oryzae 분리균들은 aflatoxin 생산능이 없는 균주들로 예측되었으며, 이는 배양액의 TLC 분석을 통해서 확인되었다.

Anti-diabetes activity of Catharsius molossus (Ca, a type of dung beetle) glycosaminoglycan (G) was evaluated to reduce glucose, creatinine kinase, triglyceride and free fatty acid levels in db mice. Diabetic mice in six groups were administrated intraperitoneally: Db heterozygous (Normal), Db homozygous (CON), Heuchys sanguinea glycosaminoglycan (HEG, 5 mg/kg), dung beetle glycosaminoglycan (CaG, 5 mg/kg), bumblebee (Bombus ignitus) queen glycosaminoglycan (IQG, 5 mg/kg) and metformin (10 mg/kg), for 1 month. Biochemical analyses in the serum were evaluated to determine their anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory actions in db mice after 1 month treatment with HEG, CaG or IQG treatments. Blood glucose level was decreased by treatment with CaG. CaG produced significant anti-diabetic actions by inhiting creatinine kinase and alkaline phosphatase levels. As diabetic parameters, serum glucose level, total cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly decreased in CaG5-treated group compared to the controls. Dung beetle glycosaminoglycan, compared to the control, could be a potential therapeutic agent with anti-diabetic activity in diabetic mice. CaG5-treated group, compared to the control, showed the up-regulation of 48 genes including mitochondrial yen coded tRNA lysine (mt-TK), cytochrome P450, family 8/2, subfamily b, polypeptide 1 (Cyp8b1), and down-regulation of 79 genes including S100 calcium binding protein A9 (S100a9) and immunoglobulin kappa chain complex (Igk), and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoenzymeAsynthase1 (Hmgcs1). Moreover, mitochondrial thymidine kinase (mt-TK), was up-regulated, and calgranulin A (S100a9) were down-regulated by CaG5 treatment, indicating a potential therapeutic use for anti-diabetic agent.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of verapamil on the pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen following oral administration of tamoxifen with verapamil to rats. Tamoxifen (10 mg/kg) was administered orally in the presence or absence of verapamil (1, 3 or 6 mg/kg). Compared to the control group (given tamoxifen alone), the presence of verapamil significantly (p<0.05 by 1 mg/kg, p<0.01 by 3 and 6 mg/kg) increased the areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the peak concentrations ($C_{max}$) of tamoxifen. Consequently, the relative bioavailability ($RB\%$) of tamoxifen with verapamil was 1.6-2.1 fold higher than that of the control. But the time to reach peak concentration ($T_{max}$) and the terminal half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of tamoxifen were not altered significantly in the presence of verapamil. The increased AUC and $C_{max}$ of tamox­ifen in the presence of verapamil might be associated with the inhibition by verapamil of the P-glycoprotein and the first­pass metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4 in small intestinal mucosa. The drug interaction should be taken into consideration when tamoxifen is used to the patient with verapamil in the clinical setting.

4-Tert-Octylphenol (OP) is a surfactant additive widely used in the manufacture of a variety of detergents and plastic products. OP can disrupt endocrine function in humans and animals. This study was carried out to obtain toxicokinetic parameters of OP in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Male rats were administered with OP by single oral application of 200 mg/kg body weight. Blood, urine and tissues samples were taken at several time intervals after administration. Analysis of samples for OP was performed by column-switching high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition, we exam-ined tissue distribution and accumulation of OP after single oral application of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, single intravenous injection of 1, 5 and 10 mg/kg or daily application of 50 mg/kg for 14 consecutive days. After single oral administration of 200 mg/kg, Cmax of 213 $\pm$ 123 ng/ml was reached within the first 1.3 hr (Tmax) in the plasma. AUC was calculated for 1,333$\pm$484 ngㆍhr/ml. The final elimination half-life of plasma was longer than that of urine, but urinary clearance was lower than oral. A very small fraction of OP (Fe < 0.0017%) was excreted in urine within 24 hr. These results indicated that the major excretion route of OP was not urine. The mean maximal tissue distribution of OP was obserbed at 6 hr after treatment and slowly decreased time-dependently. High OP concentrations were detected in fat at 24 hr. The OP in fat was slowly released with longer elimination half-life and lower clearance than that of other tissues. OP was not accumulated in the liver following single oral application but 14-day oral treatments resulted in two-fold accumulation. It was probably due to the saturation of detoxification pathways. On the other hand, the mRNA expression of cytochrome P450 isoforms except CYP2C11 was not affected by OP at any dose. The expression of CYP2C11 mRNA decreased in a dose-dependent manner. This result suggests that OP changes expression of the male-specific cytochrome P450 isoforms in rat liver, and these changes are closely related to the toxic and estrogenic effect of OP.
