Through a modification of allicin structure a disagreeable odor and chemical instability of allicin can be improved. 3-Alkoxy-6-allylthiopyridazine derivatives exhibit a superior effect for prevention and treatment of hepatic diseases induced by carbon tetrachloride and aflatoxin B1 and for prevention of human tissues from radiation. These compounds inhibit also efficiently SK-Hep-1 cell proliferation through induction of apoptosis. So another 4,5-mono- or di-substituted 3-alkyloxy-6-allylthiopyridazine derivatives were synthesized on purpose to find out SAR of allylthiopyridazine in hepatoprotective and hepatotherapeutic acitivitis and to develop more effective drug candidate.

A comparison was made of two detection methods(UV absorbence detection and fluorescence detection with pre-column derivatization, with trifluoroacetic acid) coupled with HPLC for the simultaneous determination of aflatoxin $B_1, B_2, G_1$ and $G_2$. A good separation of the four aflatoxins was achieved on a reversed-phase $C_{18}$ column (30 cm x 3.9 mm) with methanol-acetonitrile-water(20+20+60) for absorbence detection or acetonitrile-water(25+75) for fluorescence detection at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The calibration graphs were linear over the ranges 100 ppb-1 ppm for $B_1/G_1$ and 30~300 ppb for $B_2/G_1$ with absorbence detection, and 1~500 ppb for $B_1/G_1$ and 0.3~150 ppb for $B_2/G_2$ with fluorescence detection. The correlation coefficients were greater than 0.94 and 0.99 for absorbance detection and for fluorescence detection, respectively. The detection limit was 100 ng for $B_1/G_1$ and 30 ng for $B_2/G_2$ with absorbence detection, and 1 ng for $B_1/G_1$ and 0.3 ng for $B_2/G_2$ with fluorescence detection. Recovery rates of aflatoxin $B_1, B_2, G_1$ and $G_2$ added to yeast-extract sucrose broth medium were 66.6%, 59.4%, 67.5% and 59.2%, respectively, for absorbence detection and 82.9%, 71.5%, 80.0% and 69.3%, respectively, for fluorescence detection. The four aflatoxins in culture medium were quantitatively detected by the two methods. The aflatoxins in the rice sample were not detected the absorbence detection method, but were below 10 ppb using the fluorescence detection method. Analysis of aflatoxins by both the absorbence and fluorescence methods coupled with HPLC showed acceptable linearity and good recovery. The absorbence detection was less timeconsuming and safer for treatment. The fluorescence detection was more elective and sensitive though elevated $B_1$ and $G_1$ contents were determined from the TFA-induced conversion of $B_1$ to $B_{2a}$ and $G_1$ to $G_{2a}$.

Daily exposure of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was estimated in foods (rice, barley, soybean, peanut, soysauce, soybean paste) by ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) using polyclonal antibody R101. Before ELISA, a simple extraction method was applied for the quantitation of AFB1 in foods using chloroform which showed high recovery (70$\pm$12%). AFB1 levels in foods were 0.32 ng/ml (rice), 0.24ng/ml (barley), 0.22 ng/ml (peanut), 0.30~0.78 ng/ml (soysauce), and 0.2 ng/ml (soybean paste). Based on food consumption, we estimated that Koreans were exposed to AFB1 at the level of 1.86$\pm$0.46 ng/kg/day and liver cancer incidence attributed to AFB1 exposure (assuming that AFB1 as a single hepatocarcinogenic agent) might be calculated to be 13.1 per 100, 000 population. Our data demonstrate that AFB1 levels in foods were below the regulation of 10 ppb in foods and might not be the major risk factor for the high incidence of lover cancer in Korea.

Antimutagenic effect of doenjag (Korean fermented soy paste) on mutagenesis induced by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 was studied. AFB1 revealed maximum mutagenicity at dose level of 1 $\mu$g/plate with metabolic activation system in both strains. Strong antiutagenic activity toward AFB1 was completely inhibited at the level of 50% of the doenjang extract. At the same concentration 64-66% and 39-53% of the AFB1 induced mutageneses were blocked when the methanol extracts of raw and cooked soybeans were added in the system respectively Raw soybeans showed higher ihhibition rate to the mutagenicity than cooked soybeans but the fermented soybeans(doenjang) was the most effective (p<0.05) Other soybean fermented foods such as commercial doenjang natto and miso were also exhibited some antimutagenic activities however the traditional doenjang was the most effective and then commercial doenjang. Natto and miso were less effective.

In this study, the treatment of pistachio nuts by Bacillus subtilis UTBSP1, a promising isolate to degrade aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), caused to reduce the growth of Aspergillus flavus R5 and AFB1 content on pistachio nuts. Fluorescence probes revealed that the cell free supernatant fluid from UTBSP1 affects spore viability considerably. Using high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method, 10 fractions were separated and collected from methanol extract of cell free supernatant fluid. Two fractions showed inhibition zones against A. flavus. Mass spectrometric analysis of the both antifungal fractions revealed a high similarity between these anti-A. flavus compounds and cyclic-lipopeptides of surfactin, and fengycin families. Coproduction of surfactin and fengycin acted in a synergistic manner and consequently caused a strong antifungal activity against A. flavus R5. There was a positive significant correlation between the reduction of A. flavus growth and the reduction of AFB1 contamination on pistachio nut by UTBSP1. The results indicated that fengycin and surfactin-producing B. subtilis UTBSP1 can potentially reduce A. flavus growth and AFB1 content in pistachio nut.

Chilean red chili peppers contaminated with aflatoxins were reported in a previous study. If the development of gallbladder cancer (GBC) in Chile is associated with a high level of consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated red chili peppers, such peppers from other countries having a high GBC incidence rate may also be contaminated with aflatoxins. We aimed to determine whether this might be the case for red chili peppers from Bolivia and Peru. A total of 7 samples (3 from Bolivia, 4 from Peru) and 3 controls (2 from China, 1 from Japan) were evaluated. Aflatoxins were extracted with acetonitrile:water (9:1, v/v) and eluted through an immuno-affinity column. The concentrations of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and then the detected aflatoxins were identified using HPLC-mass spectrometry. In some but not all of the samples from Bolivia and Peru, aflatoxin B1 or aflatoxins B1 and B2 were detected. In particular, aflatoxin B1 or total aflatoxin concentrations in a Bolivian samples were above the maximum levels for aflatoxins in spices proposed by the European Commission. Red chili peppers from Bolivia and Peru consumed by populations having high GBC incidence rates would appear to be contaminated with aflatoxins. These data suggest the possibility that a high level of consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated red chili peppers is related to the development of GBC, and the association between the two should be confirmed by a case-control study.

고추가루의 돌연변이유발, 보돌연변이 및 항돌연변이 효과를 검토하기 위해 매운맛의 재래종과 덜 매운맛의 교배종을 극성이 다른 용매로 3분획한 것과 고추의 주요한 매운 성분으로 알려진 capsaicin을 Ames mutagenicity test를 이용하여 연구하였다. 고추가루 추출획분들을 모두 direct한 돌연변이유발성이 없는 것으로 나타났고 MNNG가 존재할 때의 보돌연변이 효과도 나타나지 않았다. 또한 이들은 rat S9이 존재할 때의 indirect한 mutagenicity도 일으키지 않는 결과를 보였다. 고추가루의 주요 매운 성분인 capsaicin도 Aroclor 1254, phenobarbital로 induce시킨 rat S9과 Aroclor 1254로 induce시킨 hamster S9 등의 activation system을 이용하여도 돌연변이유발의 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 고추가루 추출획분들은 TA100 strain에서 모두 aflatoxin $B_1$의 mutagencity를 오히려 억제시키는 결과를 나타내었는데 이 효과는 고추가루의 첫번째 획분(1st fraction)이 가장 컸었다.

우리 나라에 중요한 식품의 원료인 메주에 대한 균독소($Aflatoxin\;B_1$와 Ochratoxin A) 생성 여부를 인위적인 혹은 자연적인 환경에서 조사하였다. 채집된 메주에서 균을 분리하여 접종함으로, 인위적인 환경인 독소생성 배지와 콩을 이용한 배지를 이용하여 균독소 생성을 관찰하였다. 조선 전통메주에서 채집된 메주 균인 불완전 진균들은 몇 몇 균이 독소를 생성하였으나, 멸균된 날 콩에는 다만 $2{\sim}3$개의 분리균들이 $Aflatoxin\;B_1$와 Ochratoxin A를 분비하였다. 그러나, 언급된 두 개의 균독소가 함께 생성하는 분리균은 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나, 조선 전통메주에서는 어떤 채집된 메주에서도 위의 균독소가 $0.01{\sim}100\;ng$ 범위에서 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 메주 제조에 관련된 메주 균에서 털곰팡이(Mucor species)가 메주 제조에 초기에 작용한 균으로 전통 메주의 발효와 균독소 생성과 관계에서 중요한 것으로 사료된다.
