본 연구는 새로운 제초제 후보물질을 탐색하기 위하여 식물특이적 효소 저해제로 알려진 107개 기존 화합물에 대하여 생물활성을 조사하였다. Germination test, seedling assay, wheat leaf disc assay, cyanobacteria assay, whole plant assay를 통하여 15종의 저해제를 선발하였고 이들은 34종 효소를 저해하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이들 화합물 중에서 phenylhydrazine, purine, o-phenanthroline, oleylamine, 7,8-benzoquinoline, aminooxyacetic acid, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide 등은 성체를 이용한 온실 실험에서 높은 제초활성을 나타내었다. 7,8-benzoquinone, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 2,2'-dipyridyl 및 o-phenanthroline 등은 피, 벼, 토마토의 발아를 $1.25{\sim}5{\mu}M$의 농도에서도 억제하였다. 7,8-benzoquinoline, cyanuric fluoride, 4-methylpyrazole, tranylcypromine, oleylamine과 trifluoperazine 등은 $30{\sim}100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 cyanobacteria의 생육을 저해하였다. Dicyclohexyl carbodiimide와 chlorpromazine은 $100{\mu}M$ 농도에서 wheat leaf disc의 백화현상을 유기시켰다. 이상과 같이 생물학적 활성을 갖는 식물 특이적 효소저해제들은 신규제초제 후보물질을 선발하기 위한 새로운 대상효소로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Recently, as concern about the residual antibiotics in milk increase, the detection methods of residual antibiotics used extensevely at the present time were investigated and compared to their properties and the detection limits of variable antibiotics. At first, comparactive tests of the detectable sensitivity of 4 test organisms, B. cereus, B. subtilis, M.luteus, B.stearothermophilus C-953, were performed by disc assay. As a result, B.stearothermophilus was the most sensitive strain of all other strains and showe the detect limit of 5-50 ppb for penlicillins (PCs). And also, B.subitilis was showed the more effective detection limit, 200-400 ppb, for aminoglycosides (AGs) and M.luteus was showed predominant sensitivity , 50-500 ppb for macrolides(MLs) and B.cereus was the most sensitive strain for tetracyclines (TCs) and showed the detection limit of 100-400 ppb. Therefore, each test strains were showed a different sensitivity in the detection of the different antibiotic families. When the detection limit of disc assay and other methods were compared, TTCmethod was less sensitive than other methods showing 5-50 ppb detectable lebel for PCs. Also, for the detection of other antibiotic families TTC method was showed the worst sensitivity and Delvo and Charm Farm tests were similar to the detectable properties of AGs and MLs. Although disc assay was showed the similar detection limit for PCs with Delvo and Charm Farm, it was more widely effective for the detection of kanamycin, erythromycin, chlortetracycline, doxycycline, verginiamycin and so on than Delvo or Charm Farm. CharmII test was showed the best sensitivity for the most of antibiotics except neomycin and gentamycin. But it was necessary that different tests must be performed to each antibiotic family and so it was regarded that the effectiveness of that method was low.

Objective : A prospective biochemical assay of prostaglandin $E_2$ content in symptomatic lumbar disc materials was done in order to clarify the pathogenesis of lumbar radiculopathy. Patients and Methods : Forty-eight disc specimens were purified by a standard solid-phase extraction procedure and analyzed by an enzymelinked immunosorbent assay for prostaglandin $E_2$. Clinical and anatomic correlations were evaluated with analysis of variance and t-test. Results : Acute herniated lumbar disc diseases tended to be associated with a higher prostaglandin $E_2$ content than degenerative lumbar disc disease. Sequestered discs tended to be associated with a higher prostaglandin $E_2$ content than extruded discs, which also showed higher prostaglandin $E_2$ content than protruded ones. A sciatica and positive straight leg raising test appeared to be associated with a higher prostaglandin $E_2$ content than a negative test. Conclusion : This result suggests that the level of prostaglandin $E_2$ would be correlated with clinical symptom and sign in the inflammatory process of lumbar disc herniation.

Objectives: Pleurotus eryngii is used both for edible and medicinal purposes, and has a physiological activity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antibacterial effect of Pleurotus eryngii against six oral pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus criceti, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus ratti, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Actinomyces viscosus). Methods: The antibacterial activities of various extracts of Pleurotus eryngii were examined by disc diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The disc diffusion assay was performed by putting a paper disc soaked in extracts on plates inoculated bacterial cultures. The MIC of these extracts was determined by using a broth microdilution assay at a concentration ranging between 0.03 mg/ml to 15.00 mg/ml. The growth inhibition effect of extracts was measured at 600 nm for 24 hrs. Results: The antibacterial activity was confirmed against all six tested bacteria at Pleurotus eryngii ethyl acetate extract by the disc diffusion method. Acetone extract showed the antibacterial activity only against 4 strains containing Streptococcus criceti, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus ratti, and Actinomyces viscosus. In ethanol extract, no activity was observed against other strains except Staphylococcus aureus. MIC values of ethyl acetate extract were the same, 7.50 mg/ml in all tested bacteria. Conclusions: Pleurotus eryngii exhibited the antibacterial activity against oral pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus criceti, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus ratti, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Actinomyces viscosus). Thus, Pleurotus eryngii may be considered as a natural antibacterial agent for treatment of dental diseases.

본 실험에서는 조리과정(non-blanched, blanched, seasoned) 중 시래기의 항산화 관련 물질 함량과 항산화 활성 및 항균활성의 변화를 측정하여 한식 고유의 조리법인 나물의 우수성을 알리고자 하였다. 80% ethanol에 추출한 시래기의 수율은 무친 후가 7.55%로 가장 높았으며, 데치기 전이 4.91%를 나타내었고, 데친 후가 0.33%로 가장 낮은 수율을 보였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 3.57~129.85 mg GAE/100 g FW 범위로 무친 후 시래기가 $129.85{\pm}0.62mg$ GAE/100 g FW로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 총 플라보노이드 함량에서도 무친 후가 $35.56{\pm}1.19mg$ CHE/100 g FW로 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 4가지의 항산화 실험(DPPH assay, ABTS assay, FRAP assay, Reducing power) 결과, 무친 후 > 데치기 전 > 데친 후 순으로 높은 활성을 보였다. 항균 활성 측정 결과, 데치기 전 시래기에서만 활성이 나타났는데, B. cereus와 E. cloacae 두 균에 대해서 농도 의존적으로 항균 활성을 나타냈고, E. coli와 P. aeruginosa 두 균에 대해서는 10 mg/disc의 농도에서만 각각 9.25 mm, 9 mm의 clear zone을 생성하였다. 상관관계 분석 결과, 총 폴리페놀과 총 플라보노이드 함량이 증가할수록 radical 소거 활성 및 환원력의 활성이 증가하여 시래기에 함유된 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량이 항산화 활성에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 항균 활성 측면에서는 시래기를 조리하지 않고 섭취하는 것이 좋으나, 건조 나물을 섭취하기 위해서는 특성상 반드시 불린 후 조리하는 작업이 필요하다. 또한 무치거나 조리하는 과정에서 갖은 양념이 첨가되어 항산화 효능이 증가하므로 시래기를 섭취할 경우, 가능하면 장시간 물에 삶는 조리법은 피하고, 무치는 조리법을 사용하는 것이 건강에 이로울 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the antibacterial activity against pathogens of acne and the anti-inflammatory effect of 75% ethanol extract and its fractions from the leaves of Prunus sargentii. In the antibacterial activity by the disc diffusion assay, the extract showed the highest effect against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in 5 mg/disc. However, the ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest antibacterial activity in 1 mg/disc. On the other hand, the hexane and chloroform fraction showed strong nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitory effect in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw 264.7 cell. In the cell viability of Raw 264.7 by MTT assay, the extract and all fractions were exhibited normal viabilities as nontoxic result. Consequently, the extract from the leaves of P. sargentii and its ethyl acetate fraction could be applicable to functional materials for antibacterial activity related fields. Moreover, the hexane and chloroform fraction could be applicable to candidate materials as anti-inflammatory agent.

The signal transduction system is one of the most important devices involved in maintaining life, and many protein kinases are included in the cellular signal transduction system. Finding a protein kinase inhibitor is very valuable, as it can be used to study cell biology and applied to pharmaceuticals. For the efficient and rapid screening of protein kinase inhibitors, two assay systems were combined; the nonradioactive protein kinase assay system that uses an FITC-labeled IRS-2 peptide and the cell-based paper disc assay system that uses Streptomyces griseus as the indicator strain. Among 330 kinds of herb extracts tested, the extract of Dalbergia odorifera exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity in the two assay systems and was selected for further isolation. Based on solvent extraction and many steps of chromatography, seven compounds were finally separated to homogeneity and their structures determined by $^{1}H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopies. Four were to be flavonoids and identified as butin ($C_{15}H_{12}O_5$, Mw=272.07), 3'-hydroxymelanetin ($C_{16}H_{12}O_6$, Mw=300.06), liquiritigenin ($C_{15}H_{12}O_4$, Mw=256.07), and 2'-hydroxyformononetin ($C_{16}H_{12}O_{5}$, Mw=284.07). 3'-Hydroxymelanetin inhibited the phosphorylation of the GSK3 protein by Akt to 37% at a concentration of $10{\mu}g/ml$ and showed the strongest cytotoxicity ($ED_{50}<50{\mu}g/ml$) against the human cancer cell line HCT116. Under the same conditions, liquiritigenin also inhibited the phosphorylation of GSK3 by Akt to 26%, and its cytotoxicity against the HCT116 cell line was lower than $100{\mu}g/ml$.
