S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAH) catalyzes the hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine to adenosine and L -homocysteine and has been an attractive target for the development of broad spectrum antiviral agents. Neplanocin A and 9-(dihydroxycyclopent-4' -enyl)adenine (DHCeA) have been known to inhibit SAH by cofactor (NAD＋) depletion mechanism and their inhibition is reversed by the addition of NAD＋ or dialysis.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) 감염된 baby hamster kidney (BHK) 세포에서 합포체 형성은 세포막 표면으로의 수송된 바이러스 당단백질 hemagglutinin-neuramidase (HN)에 의해 일어난다. HAU 값은 추출물의 농도가 25.0과 $3.2{\mu}g/mL$ 사이에서는 현저하게 감소하였으나, NDV 감염된 HAD (%)는 $25.0{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 광범위한 흡착능의 감소를 나타내 바이러스 당단백질의 세포내 생합성은 저해되지 않았다. 그러므로, 약용식물인 빈랑 메탄올 추출물이 바이러스 당단백질의 세포막으로의 수송과 함께 합포체 형성을 저해하여 항바이러스 작용을 하였다. 또한 빈랑 추출물의 저해활성을 조사한 결과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase에 대한 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 $10.0{\mu}g/mL$이었으며, ${\alpha}$-mannosidase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-mannosidase에 대한 빈랑 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 20.0, 40.0, $80.0{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 ${\beta}$-type glycosidases 보다 ${\alpha}$-type glycosidases에 대한 효소활성 저해능이 우수하였다. 따라서 $IC_{50}$농도에서는 세포내에서 당단백질 생합성은 저해되지 않으며 당단백질의 수송을 저해하는 것으로 판단되었으며 향후 항바이러스 관련 작용기작의 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

[ ${\beta}$ ]-1,3-Glucans enhance immune reactions such as antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, anticoagulatory, and wound healing activities. ${\beta}$-1,3-Glucans have various functions depending on the molecular weight, degree of branching, conformation, water solubility, and intermolecular association. The molecular weight of the soluble glucan was about 15,000 as determined by a high-performance size exclusion chromatography. From the infrared (IR) and $^{13}C$ NMR analytical data, the purified soluble glucan was found to exclusively consist of ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranose with 1,3 linkage. We tested the immunestimulating activities of the soluble ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan extracted from Agrobacterium sp. R259 KCTC 1019 and confirmed the following activities. IFN-$_{\gamma}$ and each cytokines were induced in the spleens and thymus of mice treated with soluble ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan. Adjuvant effect was observed on antibody production. Nitric oxide was synthesized in monocytic cell lines treated with ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan. The cytotoxic and antitumor effects were observed on various cancer cell lines and ICR mice. These results strongly suggested that this soluble ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan could be a good candidate for an immune-modulating agent.

Aspiring to the new raw materials of insecticides is one of the plant extracts. The material structure of a variety of plant extracts have because the material to the defense of the plant itself, the case of insecticides, using plant extracts, safe, has low toxicity and has the advantage of highly distinctive and fall. Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara L.) is belonging to the family Compositae, and distributed in all parts of China as medicinal plants and indigenous plants used. Coltsfoot is known that it is effect to respiratory disease and has an antiviral effect. However, the reported insecticidal activity of coltsfoot could be not found. Fortunately, I found insecticidal activities when I was screening the bioassay against several insects with a lot of plant extracts. Using the ethanol extract of the Tussilago farfara, there were insecticidal activities against Culex pipiens pallens and Tetranychus urticae. There were several fractions in ethanol extract of coltsfoot by using various organic solvents. Hexane fraction showed a higher insecticidal activity than any other fraction. It is confirmed that hexane fraction contained pyrethrin by using HPLC analysis. So, it might be suggested that extract of coltsfoot has an insecticidal activity and its effect due to a ingredient of pyrethrin.

Recently, importance of immunosuppression is increasing as internal organ transplant becomes more prevalent with development of medical technology. Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a selective inhibitor of guanine synthesis and it therefore has antibacterial, antiviral, antitumor and selective immunosuppressive activities. The objective of this study was to maximize MPA productivity through utilizing the MPA generating strain of Penicillium brevicompactum ATCC 16024, by inducing UV mutation and NTG mutation. The highest MPA obtained was 1.146 g/L, 2.051 g/L, and 1.390 g/L from P. brevicompactum UB-3, UB-9, UC-4 respectively mutants derived from UV treatment. P. brevicompactum NC-3 and NA-9 induced from NTG treatment yielded. 575 g/L, 2.238 g/L of MPA production respectively. Mutants capable of the highest observed production of MPA were P. brevicompactum UB-9 and P. brevicompactum NC-3 obtained using the UV and NTG treatments respectively.

Evaluation of plant extracts that might inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication was performed to find potent anti-HBV agents. Eighty-five species of plants from forty-three families were tested for their anti-HBV activities using HBV-producing HepG2-derived 2.2.15 cells. The anti-HBV activity of plant extracts was measured by slot blot hybridization technique and cytotoxicity was determined by crystal violet staining procedure. All plants were extracted with methanol and the extracts were partitioned into n-hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous layer. The ethyl acetate fractions of Rhus verniciflua $(stem:\;EC_{50},\;8.2{\mu}g/ml;\;CC_{50},\;9.4{\mu}g/ml)$, Gastrodia elata $(root:\;EC_{50},\;17.7{\mu}g/ml;\;CC_{50},\;>20{\mu}g/ml)$, Raphanus sativus $(seeds:\;EC_{50},\;17.3{\mu}g/ml;\;CC_{50},\;>20{\mu}g/ml)$, and Angelica gigas $(root:\;EC_{50},\;8.3{\mu}g/ml;\;CC_{50},\;15.6{\mu}g/ml)$ revealed the anti-HBV activity in 2.2.15 cell culture system and these fractions are under the process of further sequential fractionation by column chromatography to find the active principles against HBV.

Lactoferrin was first identified 60 years ago as a "red protein" in bovine milk. Lactoferrin, one of the transferrin family proteins, is an iron-binding glycoprotein found in milk and various mucosal secretions; it is also released from activated neutrophils. Human lactoferrin has a molecular weight of 82.4 kDa and is composed of 702 or 692 amino acid residues. Bovine lactoferrin has a molecular weight of 83.1 kDa and is composed of 689 amino acid residues. Both lactoferrin and transferrin have the ability to bind two $Fe^{3+}$ ions, together with two ${CO_3}^{2-}$ ions with extremely high affinity; these proteins also have the ability to release this iron at low pH levels. The polypeptide chain in lactoferrin is folded into two globular lobes, representing the N-terminal and C-terminal halves. Both lobes have similar folding and 40% sequence identity. This protein is capable of multiple functions as described in various review papers, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiinflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, and cell growth-promoting activities. Lactoferrin also exhibits immunomodulating effects and plays an active role in the regulation of myelopoiesis and the inhibition of bacterial translocation.
