Objectives : This study was carried out to evaluate anti-oxidative, anti-microbial and anti-cancer effect for clinical application of Bibangtalmyungsan (BTS) Results : 1. The oxidative effects were measured by polyphenol, DPPH radical scavenging activity. BTS water extract was showed more effective than ethanol extract and also various solvent fractions from BTS water extract showed effective in the following order : ethyl acetate fraction > butanol fraction > hexane fraction ${\fallingdotseq}$ chloroform fraction ${\fallingdotseq}$ aqueous fraction 2. The results of anti-microbial effects were as follows. 1) Antibacterial activities of BTS extracts against Gram's negative and positive bacteria were ineffective 2) Antifungal activities of the BTS extracts against Aspergillus spp. , Trichohyton mentagrophyte KTCC 1077 were not effective. 3. The result of anti-cancer effects were as followings: 1) BTS ethanol extract was more effective than water extract against Caco-2, Calu-6, but it had cytotoxic effect against NIH3T3. 2) On the Caco-2, effective only in ethyl acetate $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 35.81 ${\mu}g/ml)$. 3) On the Calu-6, the most effective in ethyl acetate $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 189.65 ${\mu}g/ml)$ and effective In butanol $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 299.74 ${\mu}g/ml)$ and hexane $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 345.13 ${\mu}g/ml)$ 4) On the SUN-601, $IC_{50}$ value was within 80 ${\mu}g/ml$ in ethyl acetate fraction and hexane fraction. 5) On the HCT-1l6, the most effective in ethyl acetate $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 82.94 ${\mu}g/ml)$ and effective in hexane $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 374.56 ${\mu}g/ml)$. 6) On the AML-2/WT, the most effective in ethyl acetate $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 41.44 ${\mu}g/ml)$ and effective In hexane $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 303.01 ${\mu}g/ml)$. 7) On the NIH3T3, effective only in ethyl acetate $fraction(IC_{50}:$ 203.42 ${\mu}g/ml)$, but it was more ineffective than other cancer cells. Conclusion : These result suggest that BTS has antioxidative, antifungal activities and cytotoxic effects against Caco-2, Calu-6, SUN-601, HCT-116, AML-2/WT and NIH3T3, especially ethyl acetate fraction from water extract has more effective in antioxidative and anticancer effects.

This study was carried out to investigate the inhibitory effect of extracts from Paeoniae radix on postprandial hyperglycemia. Organic solvent (hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, water) extracts from Paeoniae radix were fractionated by high performance liquid chromatography. These fractions were used to screen $\alpha$-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) inhibitors by microplate colorimetric assay. The fractions 11, 12, 18, 19 of ethyl acetate extract from Paeoniae radix showed inhibitory activity by 85%, 84%, 77%, 77% at concentration of 20 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, respectively. The selected fractions (no. 10~no. 19) significantly reduced by 22% the blood glucose elevation in comparison with positive control in mice loaded with maltose. The fractions of Paeoniae radix were determined in vitro inhibitory activity on $\alpha$-glucosidase and in vivo inhibition effect on blood glucose elevation in mice. Therefore, these results suggest that the extract of Paeoniae radix can be used as a new nutraceutial for inhibition on postprandial hyperglycemia as well as resource pool for lead compounds as a $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitor.

In an attempt to evaluate the effect of six starch sources-potato starch acetate, corn starch acetate, waxy corn starch, corn starch, potato starch, and wheat starch on properties of frozen noodle, amylograph characteristics of starch-wheat flour composites, cooking quality, maximum cutting force and sensory properties of cooked frozen noodles were examined. Compared with 100% wheat flour as control, potato starch acetate and potato starch-wheat flour composites had slightly lower initial pasting temperature and wheat flour composites with acetylated starches, waxy corn starch and potato starch had slightly higher maximum peak viscosity. At cooking quality examination of noodles made from wheat flour-starch composites, volume and weight of cooked noodles were increased and cook loss was decreased with the addition of acetylated starches and waxy corn starch. Maximum cutting forces of cooked frozen noodles containing more than 15% of potato starch acetate and only 15% of corn starch acetate were higher than that of control. Other starches except potato starch improved sensory properties of cooked frozen noodles and the greatest positive effect was acetated potato starch.

This study was conducted to evaluate the cytotoxicity and ${\alpha}-Amylase$, ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$, pancreatic lipase inhibition in vitro by different solvent fractions from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata. The values of $IC_{50}$ against Calu-6 cell showed a high effect in n-hexane fraction ($10.13{\mu}g/mL$) whereas DW fraction exhibited the weakest inhibition on cell viability, having an $IC_{50}$ value of over $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. The values of $IC_{50}$ against HCT-116 cell showed the highest activity in n-BuOH fraction ($102.01{\mu}g/mL$), followed by n-hexane fraction ($145.85{\mu}g/mL$), methylene chloride fraction ($332.02{\mu}g/mL$), ethyl acetate fraction ($462.93{\mu}g/mL$) and DW fracion ($>1,000{\mu}g/mL$). ${\alpha}-Amylase$ inhibitory activity in methylene chloride fraction and ethyl acetate fraction was found to have a higher inhibitory effect with 24.5% and 25.6% than the other fractions. The highest ${\alpha}-Glucosidase$ inhibitory activity was observed from the ethyl acetate fraction extract, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level of inhibitory activity at given experiment concentration. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of C. lanceolata was found to have a higher the effect in ethyl acetate fraction. Inhibition of lipase activity of the ethyl acetate fraction and n-hexane fraction showed a relatively high, while the extract of DW fraction showed the lowest level at given experiment concentration. These results suggested that the roots of C. lanceolata may assist in the potential biological activity on carbohydrate, lipid Inhibitory activity and anticancer activity.

Purpose : To analyze the serial changes of proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectra in the abscess and to determine the effect of the antibiotic treatment on the metabolite patterns. Materials and Methods : MR imaging and MR spectroscopy of an experimentally induced abscess were performed sequentially for four weeks at interval of one week in both the control group (n=5) and the antibiotic treatment group (n=5). On MR imaging, the shape and the size of the abscess were analyzed. On MR spectroscopy, the resonance peaks of metabolites were assigned on the basis of reported peaks in the literature. The metabolite ratios measured by using N-acetyl alanine as an external reference and by using lipid as an internal reference were compared in both the control and treatment g roups. Results : The abscesses were seen as cystic masses on MR imaging. On MR spectroscopy, the variable peaks of acetate, succinate and various amino acids, which are the metabolites of infection, were identified in the control and antibiotic treatment groups. The most frequent peak was that of acetate at 1.92ppm (70%). Both the peak ratios of acetate to lipid and acetate to external reference tended to decrease in the treatment group while the ratios did not change significantly in the control group. Conclusion : MR spectroscopy is useful not only for the diagnosis of abscess but also for monitoring the evolution of the abscess by using the acetate peak.

The Fab fraction of PDC-E2 specific human monoclonal antibody was produced using recombinant E. coli, and the effects of glucose and acetate were investigated to develop an optimal strategy for recombinant human antibody production. Higher glucose concentration in the culture media resulted inn higher cell growth and glucose consumption rate, which in turn resulted in an increased acetate production rate. When glucose was depleted, cells began to consume acetate as an energy source, and this consumption rate depended on the glucose concentration. When the residual glucose concentration was high, the accumulation of acetate was accelerated due to an increase in the acetate production rate and a decrease in the acetate consumption rate. Futhermore, it was found that a high accumulation of acetate, accompanied by a high glucose concentration, inhibited human antibody formation; the critical acetate concentration was $0.6g/\ell$. During production, a high glucose concentration enhanced cell growth, but inhibited antibody formation due to catabolic repression. Therefore, it is important to keep the concentration of both glucose and acetate as low as possible to increase antibody production after induction. Accordingly, it is important to accurately control the concentration of glucose and acetate in the culture media to obtain high cell densities and high productivity levels of recombinant human antibody.

We examined the effect of 12 main monoterpenes in Pinus plants on growth inhibition of Escherichia coli and Aspergillus nidulans. We tested four concentrations of each compound by comparing the clear zone with controls. (R)-(-)carvone, (S)(+)carvone, (1R)(-)fenchone, (-)menthone, α-pinene, (1S) (-)verbenone and (+)β - pinene had a inhibition effect on E. coli. (R)-(-)carvone, (S)(+)carvone, (+) β-pinene, geranyl-acetate, α-pinene, and (1S)(-)verbenone had inhibitory effects on the growth of A. nidulans. Geranyl-acetate inhibit growth of A. nidulans, however not to E. coli. And (1R)(-)fenchone and (-)menthone inhibit growth of E. coli, but not to A. nidulans. Myrcene, sabinene, bornyl acetate, and limonene had no inhibitory effects on E. coli and A. nidulans, eventhough at the highest concentration. All these results suggested that some selected monoterpenes had antifungal activities depend on the species of microorganism.

Cnidium monnieri (L). Cussion is used as a tonic agent in traditional oriental medicine. However, the molecular mechanism of mast cell-mediated anti-inflammatory modulation has not been fully understood. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the effects of Cnidium monnieri (L). Cussion eathyl acetate fraction on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as to elucidate its mechanism of action in the human mast cell line (HMC-1). Cells were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus A23187 in the presence or absence of Cnidium monnieri (L). Cussion eathyl acetate fraction. Cnidium monnieri (L). Cussion eathyl acetate fraction significantly inhibited the PMA plus A23187-induction of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8. Moreover, EtOAc fraction attenuated cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression. In activated HMC-1 cells, phosphorylation of extra-signal response kinase (ERK) 1/2 decreased after treatment with EtOAc fraction. Moreover EtOAc fraction inhibited PMA plus A23187-induced nuclear factor (NF)-${\kappa}B$ activation, $I{\kappa}B$ degradation. EtOAc fraction suppressed the expression of TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6, IL-8 through a decrease in the ERK 1/2, as well as activation of NF-${\kappa}B$. These results indicated that Cnidium monnieri (L). Cussion EtOAc fraction exerted a regulatory effect on inflammatory reactions mediated by mast cells.
