Thrombin (0.25 U/ml : TB), 소-피부 collagen (200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml : CG), adenosine 5'-diphesphate (4,0 $\times$ $10^{-5}$M : ADP), 및 epinephrine (4,0 $\times$ 10 $^{-5}$M : EPI)의 가토-혈소판 응집과 단백인산화작용에 미치는 PDE-I (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine : IBMX, 및 KR 30075), amitriptyline (AP), chlorpromazine (CP), 및 sodium nitrogrosside (SNP)의 염향을 비교-검토하였다. 그 결과, KR은 2,2 $\times$ $10^{-7}$M 이하의 $IC_{50}$/에서 EPI > ADP > CG > TB 순으로 각각을 억제하였으며, SNP 보다도 강하였고; KR-30075보다 약하나 IBMX, AP, 및 CP도 각 응집재의 작용을 억제하였으며 특히 EPI에 대하여 $10^{-8}$M 이하의 $IC_{50}$/에서 유의한 억제력을 보였다. 각 응집제들은 41 kD 인산화는 유의하게 증가시키며 47 kD와 20 kD 단백인산화는 감소시켰는데; 모든 항응집성 약물이 41 kD 인산화-증가는 유의하게 억제하였다, 아울러, AP와 CP는 47 kD 단백인산화-감소에 영향을 미치지 않았으나 20 kD 단백인산화-감소는 억제하였다. PDE-I (IBMX와 KR)와 SNP는 47 kD와 20 kD 단백인산화-감소를 다소 약화시켰으며, 43 kD와 22 kD 단백인산화를 KR > IBMX > SNP순으로 유의하게 증가시켰고, KR의 22 kD 단백인산화작용은 현저하였다.

In the forward reaction (ADP formation) of the adenylate kinase from baker's yeast, dissociation constants from binary complexes are higher by a factor of about 4 times then those from at ternary complexes. In the reverse reaction, dissociation constants from the binary complexes are 2 times higher then those from the ternary complexes. The enzyme showed activities against various nucleotide triphospate in following orders; ATP 100, UTP 18, ITP 9 and GTP 5, of the necleotide monophosphate. only dAMP showed 33% activity of that AMP as phosphate acceptor. Divalent cations were required in enzyme reaction in following orders; $Mg^{2＋}$ 100, Co$^{2＋}$ 57, Mn$^{2＋}$ 54, $Ca^{2＋}$ 51, Ni$^{2＋}$ 10 and Sn$^{2＋}$ 6. AMP, as a substrate inhibitor, competitively inhibited the adenylate kinase at pH 7.2 or 8.0. Inhibition constants of the enzyme showed greater dependence on the pH of the reaction mixture, which was the lower Ki values under higher pH. Adenosine pentaphospho adenosine was competive inhibitor to the enzyme against all substrate, and it showed the same Ki values, 2.9mM. Further, PEP was competive inhibitor with respect to AMP and non-competive inhibitor with respect to MgATP. Adenylate kinase from bakers yeast was similar to mitochondrial type of animal in the contents of aianine, leucine and asparagine or asparatic acid differing from muscle type enzyme. Based on the results and observation, characteristic of yeast adenylate kinase resembled the adenylate kinase of mitochondrial type from animals. Further, difference of characteristics in adenylate kinasa depending upon the workers might be due to the difference of strain used.

Agaricus blazei Murill (Almond mushroom) has many beneficial effects, such as anti-cancer, immuneenhancement, and anti-obesity. Also, its skin benefits have been reported for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and whitening. In order to elucidate these effects, many studies have been conducted. In this study, we reconfirmed the skin efficacy of the extract of the mushrooms mushrooms. The Agaricus blazei extract showed inhibition of melanin synthesis, enhancement of collagen synthesis, and up-regulation of gene expression (hyaluronan syntahase-2, 3 and aquaporin-3) at 100 ㎍/mL. and identified the ingredients from the extract. We further investigated them to find an applicability as cosmetic ingredients. The ingredients were confirmed comparison of their spectroscopic data with literature values. They were identified as being ergosterol (1), 5-dihydroergosterol (2), cerevisterol (3), cerebroside B (4), cerebroside D (5), adenosine (6), and benzoic acid (7). Among these compounds, we evaluated skin efficacy for two cerebrosides and three ergosterol derivatives that have not been reported its efficacy. As a result, 5-dihydroergosterol (2) inhibited melanogenesis in B16F10 and promoted collagen biosynthesis in human dermal fibroblast. In addition, cerevisterol (3), cerebroside B (4), and cerebroside D (5) inhibited NO production in RAW 264.7 cell. In particular, cerebroside D (5) increased the expression of hyaluronan synthase-2 and aquaporin-3 genes in HaCaT. These results suggest that Agaricus blazei extract and isolated compounds can be used as cosmetic ingredients.

Chemical investigation of the crude extract of the Egyptian marine tunicate Eudistoma laysani led to the isolation of a new nucleoside; 3-deazainosine and four known ones; inosine, 2'-deoxyuridine, adenosine and 2'-deoxyadenosine. Structural elucidation of the isolated compounds was based on intensive studies of their spectral data including 1D ($^{1}H$ and $^{13}C$) and 2D ($^{1}H-^{1}H$ COSY, HMQC, HMBC) NMR together with mass spectra. The antioxidant effects of the isolated compounds were determined using DPPH, where they exhibited significant activities.

They were identified by extensive spectroscopic data analysis including 1D, 2D ($^1H-^1H$ COSY, HSQC, HMBC) NMR, and ESIMS. All the isolates (1-9) are reported for the first time from this endophytic fungus.

In this study. we tried to investigate whether polymerized basic amino acid e.g. poly-L-lysine(PLL) which has the molecular weight under 10 kD significantly affects the physiological and stimulated mucin release from cultured hamster tracheal surface epithelial cells. Confluent primary hamster tracheal surface epithelial(HTSE) cells were metabolically radiolabeled with 3H-glucosamine for 24 hr and chased for 30 min in the presence of either PLLs or adenosine triphosphate(ATP) and PLL to assess the effects on basic or ATP-stimulated 3H-mucin release.

A one-pot process of enzymatic synthesis of deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate (5'-dTTP) employing whole cells of recombinant Escherichia coli coexpressing thymidylate kinase (TMKase) and acetate kinase (ACKase) was developed. Genes tmk and ack from E. coli were cloned and inserted into pET28a(+), and then transduced into E. coli BL21 (DE3) to form recombinant strain pTA in which TMKase and ACKase were simultaneously overexpressed. It was found that the relative residual specific activities of TMKase and ACKase, in pTA pretreated with 20 mM ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) at 25℃ for 30 min, were 94% and 96%, respectively. The yield of 5'-dTTP reached above 94% from 5 mM deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate (5'-dTMP) and 15 mM acetyl phosphate catalyzed with intact cells of pTA pretreated with EDTA. The process was so effective that only 0.125 mM adenosine-5'-triphosphate was sufficient to deliver the phosphate group from acetyl phosphate to dTMP and dTDP.

The ethanol extract of Dryopteris crassirhizoma Nakai showed strong growth inhibition against 5 strains of Listeria monocytogenes at the concentrations of $100{\sim}500$ ppm and the minimum inhibitory concentration of n-hexane fraction was under 50 ppm. The D8-2-5 fraction isolated from n-hexane fraction of Dryopteris crassirhizoma Nakai showed a strong bactericidal activity on 5 strains of L. monocytogenes at 20 ppm level in tryptic soy broth medium. At the level, the viable count was reduced $4{\sim}6$ log cycle compared to initial cell number. Observation by the measurement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contents and transmission electron microscope showed that disruptions of the cell wall and elution of intracellular ATP are assumed to be due to the bactericidal activity. In addition, the n-hexane fraction of Dryopteris crassirhizoma Nakai showed the strong growth inhibitions at 50 ppm on Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Bacillus cereus, and at 25 ppm on Staphylococcus aureus.

It has been known that adenine is a very important material in living cells. Because, adenine is a member of nucleotide base, so it takes part in DNA, RNA and ATP synthesis. There are many reports that adenine participated in ingredients, especially DNA, RNA, NADH and ATP, affect on the cell. As well adenosine, conjugated adenine to glycoside, was known to anti-wrinkle compound. But there is no report whether adenine shows a good effect on the skin, especially anti-wrinkle. So, in this study, we tested whether adenine affects cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, collagenase synthesis inhibition in human dermal fibroblasts. In addition, we performed clinical study with adenine cream. Cell proliferation effect was tested by MTT assay. Collagen and collagenase synthesis were measured by Immunoassay with ELISA kit. Clinical study was performed by IECK according to KFDA Functional Cosmetic method. The results of cell proliferation show that 10$^{-6}$ ~10$^{-8}$ ％ of adenine increases cell proliferation about 50 ％ compare with non-treated control. At 10$^{-7}$ ~10$^{-10}$ ％, adenine increases type I collagen synthesis about 50％, decreases type I collagenase about 22％ compare with non-treated control. The results of clinical study show that 0.05％ adenine treated group reduces wrinkle significantly compare with placebo treated group. Therefore adenine may be a new anti-wrinkle candidate, through increases cell proliferation and collagen synthesis dramatically. And it decreases collagenase synthesis. So adenine could be used as a new anti-wrinkle agent.
