새로 분리된 곰팡이 Trichoderma erinaceum DG-312의 균사체 배양에 의해 갈락토만난(GMs)을 생산하여 쥐에서 항염증 활성을 조사하였다. 5 리터 교반 발효조에서 3일 동안 배양에 의해 얻어진 균사체 및 갈락토만난의 최대 농도는 각각 9.44 g/l 및 2.72 g/l 이였다. Sepharose CL-6B 젤 크로마토그라피와 다당체 성분 분석 결과, crude 갈락토만난의 조성은 주로 mannose $(74.9\%)$와 galatose $(24.1\%)$로 구성된 이종의 다당체인 것으로 밝혀졌다. Trichoderma erinaceum DC-312로부터 생산된 갈락토만난은 아세트산으로 처리한 쥐에서 체중(kg)에 대하여 100 또는 200 mg의 양으로 처리하였을 때 농도에 비례하여 현저한 항 염증 활성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 갈락토만난의 항염증 활성을 나타내는 모세혈관 투과도(vascular permeability) 및 발작 반응(writhing response)의 저해 수치는 각각 $60.6\%$ 및 $62.5\%$로 나타났다. 따라서 이런 갈락토만난의 항염증 및 발작반응 저해에 효과적인 특성을 이용한다면 치료 목적을 위한 의약물질 개발의 잠재성을 보여준다.

Two groups of exopolysaccharides (designated as Fr-I EPS and Fr-II EPS) were isolated from the culture filtrate of new fungal strain Trichoderma erinaceum DG-312 by Sepharose CL-6B chromatography. The structures of the exopolysaccharides were investigated using gas chromatography (GC), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, GCMS analysis, and NMR. GC analysis indicated that Fr-I EPS was composed of mainly mannose ($78.9\%$) and galactose ($21.1\%$), whereas Fr-II EPS contained mannose ($68.4\%$), galactose ($26.2\%$), and glucose ($5.4\%$). In the anomeric region ($950-700cm_{-1}$) of the FT-IR spectrum, both EPSs exhibited obvious characteristic absorption of $810\;cm_{-1}$, indicating the existence of mannose. The spectra of $\alpha-and\;\beta$-configurations were assigned at 880 and $914\;cm_{-1}$, respectively. The results of GC-MS analyses confirmed that both EPSs were complex heteropolysaccharides with a ($1{\rightarrow}3$)-linked mannan backbone. The C-1 region that appeared in the $^{13}C-NMR$ spectra of these EPSs indicated a typical anomeric carbon signal. The Fr-I EPS showed two anomeric carbon signals at 102.6 and 99.6 ppm, whereas the Fr-II EPS displayed four anomeric carbon signals at 102.5, 99.6, 98.5, and 94.3 ppm. The molecular characteristics of the EPSs were further investigated using a size exclusion chromatography/multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC/MALLS) system. The SEC/MALLS system revealed that the average molar masses of the EPSs were $6.592{\times}10^{4}$ (Fr-I EPS) and $1.920{\times}10^{4}$ (Fr-II EPS) g/mol, and the molecular conformation of both EPSs in aqueous solution was random coils.
