피자두와 후무사로 만든 자두와인 내 총 페놀화합물과 플라보노이드 함량을 비교분석한 결과, 총 페놀화합물은 피자두 와인 ($478.4{\pm}5.6\;mg/L$)이 후무사 와인 ($200.6{\pm}7.5\;mg/L$)보다 2배, 플라보노이드 함량은 피자두 와인 ($202.4{\pm}7.5\;mg/L$)이 후무사 와인 ($64.4{\pm}6.8\;mg/L$)보다 3배 이상 많았다. 자두와인 자체의 항산화 효과를 DPPH 전자공여능으로 비교분석하였을 때 정제된 페놀화합물보다 그 활성이 크게 낮았으나, ethyl acetate로 추출한 중성 페놀화합물과 산성 페놀화합물의 항산화 활성은 mg/mL의 농도에서 정제된 페놀화합물과 비슷하게 나타났다. 특히, 중성페놀화합물의 경우, $100{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 64.5%의 전자공여능을 나타내었는데 이는 동일 농도의 정제된 페놀화합물(chlorogenic acid 15.5%, quercetin 24.6%)의 활성보다 3배 이상 높은 값이었다. vero cell에 돼지설사바이러스(PEDV)를 감염시켜 페놀화합물의 항바이러스 활성을 분석한 결과 중성 페놀화합물이 저농도 ($10\;{\mu}g/mL$이하)에서 상용 항바이러스제인 ribavirin보다 세포독성효과 (CPE)를 더 억제시키는 것으로 나타났다. 두 종류의 페놀화합물간에는 중성 페놀화합물이 산성 페놀화합물에 비해 최대 1.5배 정도 더 높은 항바이러스 활성을 보여주었다. 그러나, 고농도 ($100\;{\mu}g/mL$)에서는 ribavirin이 페놀화합물보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 정상세포에 대한 세포독성은 모든 실험군에서 나타나지 않아 페놀화합물의 항바이러스 활성이 바이러스 특이적인 효과임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 식품의 저장 수명을 연장하기 위하여 식품 포장재로 활용되는 항미생물 활성 액티브 패키징의 최신 연구 동향을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 특히, 최근 5년간 발표된 항미생물 활성 필름 및 코팅 연구를 분석하였으며, 연구에서 활용한 고분자 소재와 항미생물 소재를 정리하였다. COVID-19 대유행으로 인한 플라스틱 오염 문제가 격화되면서 식품 포장재의 고분자 소재로는 바이오 기반의 분해성 소재가 주목받고 있으며, 분해성 소재에 항미생물 화합물을 혼입하여 기능적 특성을 부가한 액티브 필름 및 코팅 제제에 관한 연구가 활발하게 수행되었다. 항균 액티브 패키징 개발에 주요하게 활용된 소재는 정유, 추출물 등의 유기 화합물, TiO₂, ZnO, AgNPs 등의 무기 화합물과 박테리오파지 및 엔도라이신 등의 생물 소재로 관찰되었다. 또한 주요하게 사용된 항진균 소재는 정유 등의 천연 화합물, 무기산(염) 및 유기산(염)을 포함하는 합성 유기계 화합물과 금속 및 나노입자 등의 무기화합물로 분류되었다. 한편, 항바이러스 소재로는 GTE, GSE 및 AITC 등의 유기 화합물 관련 연구만이 주로 관찰되었다. 동향 분석 결과, 항균 및 항진균 액티브 패키징의 효능 평가는 활발하게 수행되어 왔으나, 이들의 물리 화학적 특성 개선 연구가 미흡하여 산업화로 이어지는 것에 한계가 있어, 이에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다. 또한 분해성 항바이러스 액티브 패키징에 대한 산업체에서의 수요가 증가할 것으로 예상되므로, 항바이러스 소재 발굴 및 패키징 적용을 위한 활발한 노력이 요구된다.

The synthesis of carbocyclic analogues of normal nucleosides has grown exclusively since they have shown potential antiviral and antitumor activities. Radiolabeled cis-1-[4-(hydroxy-methyl)-cyclopent-2-enyl]-5-$[^{124}I]$-iodocytosine (carbocyclic d4IC) and cis-1-[4-(hydroxy-methyl)-cyclopent-2-enyl]-5-(2-$[^{124}I]$iodovinyl)cytosine(carbocyclic d4IVC) were synthesized. The synthetic route employed Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction together with organotin and exchange reaction for radioiodination as key reactions. Carbocyclic $[^{124}I]$d4IC gave more than 75% radiochemical yield with greater than 95% radiochemical purity. Carbocyclic $[^{124}I]$d4IVC gave more than 80% radiochemical yield with greater than 95% radiochemical purity.

To improve the biological activities of rupestonic acid, 21 new rupestonic acid fatty ester derivatives (2a-2h) and aromatic ester derivatives (2i-2u) were synthesized and preliminarily evaluated for their anti-influenza activity in vitro by the national center for drug screening of China, using the Oseltamivir and Ribavirin as reference drugs. The results showed that 2l ($IC_{50}=0.5{\mu}mol/L$) exhibited potent anti-influenza $A_3$ viral activity among the synthesized compounds and was 10-fold more potent than that of the reference drug Oseltamivir ($IC_{50}=5.1{\mu}mol/L$).

Mushrooms and their extracts including purified ingredients, are currently used as foods, functional foods (and/or nutraceuticals), and medicines. These products have numerous bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides (mainly ${\beta}$-glucans), glycoproteins, nucleotide analogs, terpenoids, and polyphenols, which have exhibited antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral, anti-obesity, and immunomodulatory activities. In this review, we discuss the current information on the biactivities of 10 popular mushrooms in Korea. We also summarize the information on mushrooms and the active compounds derived from them, as well as mushroom-based products such as foods, functional foods, and medicines. We believe this review could provide useful information for scientists and consumers who seek to develop new products and promote healthy food habits and lifestyle.

Quercetin and its derivatives are important metabolites that belong to the flavonol class of flavonoids. Quercetin and some of the conjugates have been approved by the FDA for human use. They are widely distributed among plants and have various biological activities, such as being anticancer, antiviral, and antioxidant. Hence, the biosynthesis of novel derivatives is an important field of research. Glycosylation and methylation are two important modification strategies that have long been used and have resulted in many novel metabolites that are not present in natural sources. A strategy for modifying quercetin in E. coli by means of glycosylation, for example, involves overexpressing respective glycosyltransferases (GTs) in the host and metabolic engineering for increasing nucleoside diphosphate sugar (NDP-sugar). Still others have used microorganisms other than E. coli, such as Streptomyces sp., for the biotransformation process. The overall study of the structural activity relationship has revealed that modification of some residues in quercetin decreased one activity but increased others. This review summarizes all of the information mentioned above.

Marine biosphere is the largest one of the earth and harbors an enormous number of different organisms. Living conditions differ fundamentally from those in terrestrial environment. The production of specific secondary metabolites is an important adaption mechanism of marine organisms to survive in the sea. These metabolites possess biological activities which make them interesting as possible drugs for human. The review presents sources, chemistry, production and pharmacology of FDA approved marine derived pharmaceuticals arranged according to their therapeutic indication. Four of the presently seven approved drugs are used for the treatment of cancer. Each another one is applicated for treatment of viral diseases, chronic pain and to lower triglyceride level in blood. Some other products are of interest in diagnostic and as experimental tools. Besides, this article describes challenges in drug development from marine sources, especially the supply problem.

Interferons regulate a number of biological functions including control of cell proliferation, generation of antiviral activities and immumodulation in human cells. Studies by several investigators have identified a number of cellular signaling cascades that are activated during engagement of interferon receptors. The activation of multiple signaling cascades by the interferon receptors appears to be critical for the generation of interferon mediated biological functions and immune surveillance. The present review summarizes the existing knowledge on the multiple signaling cascades activated by Type I interferons. Recent developments in this research area are emphasized and the implications of these new discoveries on our understanding of interferon actions are discussed.

This study was undertaken to test for antiviral activity of the aqueous extracts prepared from 4 medicinal plants of Korea (Terminalia chebula, Sanguisorba officinalia, Rubus coreanus, Rheum palmatum). Aqueous extracts were assayed for the inhibition of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication by measurement of HBV DNA and surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in the extracellular medium of HepG2 2.2.15 cells. All extracts decreased the levels of extracellular HBV virion DNA at concentrations ranging from 64 to $128{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ and inhibited the production of HBsAg dose-dependently. Among the 4 tested plants, Terminalia chebula exhibits the most prominent anti-HBV activities. Our findings suggest that these 4 medicinal plants may have potential to develop as specific anti-HBV drugs in the future.

Hypocrellin A has gained much attention in recent years due to its light-induced antitumor, antifungal and antiviral activities. Here we report that hypocrellin A exerts immunomodulatory effects on MHC-restricted presentation of antigen. Hypocrellin A inhibited class II-MHC restricted presentation of exogenous antigen, but not class I MHC-restricted presentation of exogenous antigen, in dendritic cells. Hypocrellin A also inhibited the cytosolic pathway of endogenous antigen presentation. However, hypocrellin A did not inhibit the expression of class I and class II MHC molecules on dendritic cells (DCs), the phagocytic activity of DCs, or the $H-2K^b$-restricted presentation of a synthetic peptide, SIINFEKL. These results show that hypocrellin A differentially modulates the MHC-restricted antigen presentation pathways.
