본 연구에서는 선정한 생약재 및 복합처방단의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성을 알아보았으며, 이 방법이 미백 소재 스크리닝을 위한 유용한 평가법인지를 알아보았다. 한의학과 민간에서 당뇨의 개선 및 치료 효과가 우수하다고 알려진 생약재 및 처방 중 죽력, 귀전우, 적양, 연자육, 마인, 청심연자음의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 저해 효과는 식후 혈당조절제인 acarbose와 비교하여 볼 때 우수한 효과를 나타내었다. 미백 효과가 알려진 연자육을 함유한 청심연자음 hydrolyzed EtOAc layer는 $100{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 약 50% 멜라닌 생성 저해 효과를 보였다. 또한 청심연자음 hydrolyzed EtOAc layer는 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 저해 효과가 우수하였으나 mushroom tyrosinase 활성 저해 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 이로써 청심연자음 hydrolyzed EtOAc layer는 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성을 저해시켜 tyrosinase의 glycosylation을 저해함으로써 멜라닌 생성 억제 효과가 나타나는 것으로 생각된다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 억제 효과가 있으면서 당뇨병에 효과가 있는 생약재들은 N-linked glycoprotein인 tyrosinase의 glycosylation을 저해하여 tyrosinase의 세포 내 이동이나 활성을 억제함으로써 멜라닌 생성을 억제할 것으로 사료되며, 본 연구에서 선정된 생약재들은 당뇨병 치료를 위한 목적뿐만 아니라 화장품에서 새로운 미백 소재로서의 활용가치가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 미백에 효과가 있는 소재 스크리닝을 위해 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 mushroom tyrosinase 활성 저해 효과와 다른 접근 방법으로써 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 활성 측정 방법도 하나의 평가법으로 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

The thermolabile haemolysin (tlh) of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vptlh) from V. parahaemolyticus is a multiple-function enzyme, initially describes as a haemolytic factor activated by lecithin and phospholipase A2 enzymatic activity (Shinoda, 1991; Vazquez-Morado, 2021; Yanagase et al., 1970). Until now, the tlh structure has hypothesized including N-terminal and C-terminal domain, but what domain of the Vptlh structure does the haemolytic activity has not been refined yet. In this study, a 450-bp VpTLH nucleotide sequence of the entire Vptlh gene encoded the C-terminal domain cloned firstly to examine its responsibility in the activity of the Vptlh. The C-terminal domain fused with a 6-His-tag named the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain was expressed successfully in soluble form in the BL21 (DE3) PlysS cell. Remarkably, both expression and purification results confirmed a high agreement in the molecular weight of the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain was 47 kDa. This work showed the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain lysed the erythrocyte membranes in the blood agar and the phosphate buffered saline (0.9%) media without adding the lecithin substrate of the phospholipase enzyme. Haemolysis occurred at all tested diluted concentrations of His-tag-VpC-terminal domain (p < 0.05), providing evidence for the independent haemolytic activity of the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain. The content of 100 ㎍ of the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain brought the highest haemolytic activity of 80% compared to that in the three remaining contents. Significantly, the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain demonstrated not to involve the phospholipase activity in Luria-Bertani agar supplemented with 1% (vol/vol) egg yolk emulsion. All results proved the vital responsibility of the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain in causing the haemolytic activity without the required activation by the phospholipase enzyme. Raw extracts of Phellinus igniarus and Phellinus pipi at 10^-1 mg/mL inhibited the haemolytic activity of the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain from 67.7% to 87.42%, respectively. Hence applying the His-tag-VpC-terminal domain as a simple biological material to evaluate quickly potential derivatives against the Vptlh in vivo conditions will accessible and more advantageous than using the whole of the Vptlh.

This study was conducted to develop and characterize of a high quality salted mackerel using enzymatic extracts of Ecklonia cava (EEC). In this study, potential antioxidative properties of EEC were evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, peroxide value, and fatty acid composition, and the antimicrobial properties were also measured by analysis for volatile basic nitrogen, pH, viable cells, Eschericia coli and biogenic amine. Compared to EEC-untreated salted mackerel, the salted mackerel with EEC was superior in antioxidative properties, while was negligible in the difference of antimicrobial properties. These results suggested that the high quality salted mackerel with antioxidative activity could be developed by treatment of EEC.

The protective effect of pig skin gelatin water extracts (PSW) and the low molecular weight hydrolysates of PSW generated via enzymatic hydrolysis with Flavourzyme® 1000L (LPSW) against scopolamine-induced impairment of cognitive function in mice was determined. Seventy male ICR mice weighing 20-25 g were randomly assigned to seven groups: Control (CON); scopolamine (SCO, 1 mg/kg B.W., intraperitoneally (i.p.); tetrahydroaminoacridine 10 [THA 10, tacrine; 10 mg/kg B.W. per oral (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.)]; PSW 10 (10 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); PSW 40 (40 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); LPSW 100 (100 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.); LPSW 400 (400 mg/kg B.W. (p.o.) with SCO (i.p.). All treatment groups, except CON, received scopolamine on the day of the experiment. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity of LPSW 400 at 1 mg/mL was 154.14 μM Trolox equivalent. Administration of PSW and LPSW for 15 weeks did not significantly affect on physical performance of mice. LPSW 400 significantly increased spontaneous alternation, reaching the level observed for THA and CON. The latency time of animals receiving LPSW 400 was higher than that of mice treated with SCO alone in the passive avoidance test, whereas it was shorter in the water maze test. LPSW 400 increased acetylcholine (ACh) content and decreased ACh esterase activity (p<0.05). LPSW 100 and LPSW 400 reduced monoamine oxidase-B activity. These results indicated that LPSW at 400 mg/kg B.W. is a potentially strong antioxidant and contains novel components for the functional food industry.

In this study, we synthesized a glycosylated derivative of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) using the amylosucrase from Deinococcus geothermalis with sucrose as a substrate and examined its solubility, chemical stability, and anti-inflammatory activity. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that the resulting glycosylated CAPE (G-CAPE) was the new compound caffeic acid phenethyl ester-4-O-${\alpha}-{\small{D}}$-glucopyranoside. G-CAPE was 770 times more soluble than CAPE and highly stable in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and buffered solutions, as estimated by its half-life. The glycosylation of CAPE did not significantly affect its anti-inflammatory activity, which was assessed by examining lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production and using a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 reporter assay. Furthermore, a cellular uptake experiment using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the cell-free extracts of RAW 264.7 cells demonstrated that G-CAPE was gradually converted to CAPE within the cells. These results demonstrate that the glycosylation of CAPE increases its bioavailability by helping to protect this vital molecule from chemical or enzymatic oxidation, indicating that G-CAPE is a promising candidate for prodrug therapy.

In order to study the rate control step in the protein metabolic course of the chlorophyll formation, the transaminase activities which are obtained freely in the extracts of cotyledons of germinating peas at the light and the dark places, are measured in Beckman mopel D.U, spectrophoto meter at 490 mu. In this case, of two enzymatic reaction products; oxalacetic acid and pyruvic acid, the former is converted to pyruvic acid by aniline citrate and after each pyruvate phenyl hydrazones are extracted by toluenes: when this is treated with strong alcoholic alkali, a colored hydrazone is formed and it is measured by above apparatus. The estimated G.O.T. and G.P.T. in the germinated cotyledons at dark and light places considerably differ in their activities; G.O.T. and G.P.T. activities which are formed at the light are more increased than at the dark and also they differ in their rates through germination, though G.O.T. activity increment is smoothly but that of G.P.T. is more sharply, and they are considered to be directly affected to the chlorophyll formation and indirectly to the growth. G.O.T. and G.P.T. in each fractions of cell in the cotyledons should be formed by dissociation of zymogens in the microsomal fractions and it seems to promoted by light. In the formation of the chlorophyll, the protein metabolism occurred mainly in the microsomal fractions and the rate determining step is found at the point where the zymogene that is able to produce G.P.T. is activated, and this activation is promoted by light as noted above.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are crucial extracellular matrices degrading enzymes that have important roles in metastasis of cancer progression as well as other significant conditions such as oxidative stress and hepatic fibrosis. Marine plants are on the rise for their potential to provide natural products that exhibit remarkable health benefits. In this context, brown algae species have been of much interest in the pharmaceutical field with reported instances of isolation of bioactive compounds against tumor growth and MMP activity. In this study, eight different brown algae species were harvested, and their extracts were compared in regard to their anti-MMP effects. According to gelatin zymography results, Ecklonia cava, Ecklonia bicyclis, and Ishige okamurae showed higher inhibitory effects than the other samples on MMP-2 and -9 activity at the concentrations of 10, 50, and $100{\mu}g/mL$. However, only I. okamurae was able to regulate the MMP activity through the expression of MMP and tissue inhibitor of MMP observed by mRNA levels. Overall, brown algae species showed to be good sources for anti-MMP agents, while I. okamurae needs to be further studied for its potential to yield pharmaceutical molecules that can regulate MMP-activity through cellular pathways as well as enzymatic inhibition.
