In order to extract the curcuminoid such as curcumin, demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) in turmeric (Curcuma longa), solvent extraction methods (dipping and ultrasonic extraction method) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) were used. RP-HPLC (reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography) and TLC (thin-layer chromatography) were used for identification and analysis the three curcuminoid. From the experimental results, it is evident that the percentage of curcuminoid extracted from turmeric by ultrasonic extraction method was higher than dipping method. The percentage of curcumin extracted from turmeric by pure methanol was higher than any aqueous methanolic composition. Moreover, the total peak area of three curcuminoid was above 92% in RP-HPLC using solid-phase extraction. These results will form a database for investigating the constituents of natural products and the resources of pharmaceutical, nutrition, and cosmetic products.

In this study three major curcuminoids in turmeric curcumin (1), demethoxycurcumin (2) and bismethoxycurcumin (3) were efficiently extracted by optimizing extraction condition and simultaneously identified using a fast and reliable RP-HPLC-UV-MS and TLC method. The analysis by the $C_{18}$ column was performed and the UV wavelength was fixed at 425 nm. In this result, the total extraction yield of turmeric (Curcuma longa) was increased with extraction time from 1 to 7 h. So, optimum extraction time is 4 h. Also, the highest yield of extraction amount 0.433g 8.66% was obtained by ultrasonic waves with quarter frequency kHz and an extraction time of 7 h. The experiment method was consistent with theoretical Value $r^2$ = 0.987 (1), 0.997 (2) and 0.998 (3). Moreover, LC-MS analysis provided efficiently molecular weight information of three major curcuminoids in turmeric extracts and high purity (~95%) of the curcuminoids were obtained. This work offers would be useful for chemical and biological studies of natural plants and its products.

다양한 생리활성을 가진 심황과 쿠쿠미노이드가 가공식품류 등에 광범위하게 적용되는 바, 실제 식품 중에 이용되는 oleoresin turmeric 색소에 대해 마이크로파처리에 의한 화학안정성 및 생리활성의 변화를 분석하였다. 심황색소는 마이크로파 가열처리에 의해 황색도와 화학안정성이 감소하였으며 특히 3종의 쿠쿠미노이드 중 쿠쿠민이 마이크로파처리에 가장 민감하였고 BMC가 가장 안정하였다. 마이크로파처리 후 심황색소의 ABTS, AAPH peroxyl radical 및 아질산염 제거활성은 증가하였으며, DPPH 라디칼 제거활성에는 변화가 없었다. 심황색소에서 생성되는 활성 산소종은 마이크로파처리 후 증가하였으나, 정상장관계 세포 INT 407과 대장암 세포 HCT 116을 대상으로 한 세포독성 효과는 두 종류의 세포에서 모두 약화되었다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 식품 중에 첨가되는 심황색소가 마이크로파처리에 의해 화학적변화 및 생리활성에 영향을 가져올 수 있음을 보여주며, 이를 함유한 식품의 적절한 가공 및 조리방법이 고려되야 함을 제시하고 있다.

Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) has high morbidity and mortality rates in canines. Nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of CPV-2 has endonuclease activity, initiates viral DNA replication, and is highly conserved. Thus, it is a promising target for antiviral inhibitor development. We overexpressed a 41.9 kDa active recombinant endonuclease in Escherichia coli and designed a nicking assay using carboxyfluorescein and quencher-linked ssDNA as substrates. The optimal temperature and pH of the endonuclease were 37℃ and pH 7, respectively. Curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, linoleic acid, tannic acid, and α-tocopherol inhibited CPV-2 NS1 endonuclease with IC₅₀ values of 0.29 to 8.03 µM. The extracted turmeric, yerba mate, and sesame cake suppressed CPV-2 NS1 endonuclease with IC₅₀ values of 1.48, 7.09, and 52.67 ㎍/ml, respectively. The binding affinity between curcumin, the strongest inhibitor, and CPV-2 NS1 endonuclease by molecular docking was -6.4 kcal/mol. Curcumin inhibited CPV-2 NS1 endonuclease via numerous hydrophobic interactions and two hydrogen bonds with Lys97 and Pro111 in the allosteric site. These results suggest that adding curcuminoids, linoleic acid, tannic acid, α-tocopherol, extracted turmeric, sesame cake, and yerba to the diet could prevent CPV-2 infection.

Free-living amoebae (FLA) rarely cause human infections but can invoke fatal infections in the central nervous system (CNS). No consensus treatment has been established for FLA infections of the CNS, emphasizing the urgent need to discover or develop safe and effective drugs. Flavonoids, natural compounds from plants and plant-derived products, are known to have antiprotozoan activities against several pathogenic protozoa parasites. The anti-FLA activity of flavonoids has also been proposed, while their antiamoebic activity for FLA needs to be emperically determined. We herein evaluated the antiamoebic activities of 18 flavonoids against Naegleria fowleri and Acanthamoeba species which included A. castellanii and A. polyphaga. These flavonoids showed different profiles of antiamoebic activity against N. fowleri and Acanthamoeba species. Demethoxycurcumin, kaempferol, resveratrol, and silybin (A+B) showed in vitro antiamoebic activity against both N. fowleri and Acanthamoeba species. Apigenin, costunolide, (-)-epicatechin, (-)-epigallocatechin, rosmarinic acid, and (-)-trans-caryophyllene showed selective antiamoebic activity for Acanthamoeba species. Luteolin was more effective for N. fowleri. However, afzelin, berberine, (±)-catechin, chelerythrine, genistein, (+)-pinostrobin, and quercetin did not exhibit antiamoebic activity against the amoeba species. They neither showed selective antiamoebic activity with significant cytotoxicity to C6 glial cells. Our results provide a basis for the anti-FLA activity of flavonoids, which can be applied to develope alternative or supplemental therapeutic agents for FLA infections of the CNS.

본 연구에서는 식품의 가공이나 조리 시 빈번히 적용되는 가열처리에 의한 심황색소의 화학안정성, 산화방지활성 및 세포독성의 변화를 조사하였다. $95^{\circ}C$에서 각 시간별로 가열처리한 심황색소는 가열시간이 증가할수록 발색도가 감소하였으며, 형광도는 초기 가열 시에 증가하다 감소하는 양상을 보였다. HPLC 분석 결과 3종의 쿠쿠미노이드 중 쿠쿠민이 가열처리에 가장 민감하였으며 BMC가 가장 안정하였다. 가열 처리 후의 심황색소에 의해 ABTS 라디칼, AAPH peroxyl 라디칼 및 아질산염 소거활성이 증가하였으나, DPPH 라디칼 소거활성에는 변화가 없었다. 가열처리 시간의 증가에 따라 심황색소로 부터의 $H_2O_2$ 생성능이 증가한 반면, 정상장관계 세포 INT 407 및 대장암 세포 HCT 116를 대상으로 한 세포독성평가에서는 가열처리 후 심황색소의 활성이 유의적으로 약화되었다. 본 연구결과는 다양한 가공식품에 첨가되는 심황색소의 화학안정성 및 생리활성이 가열처리에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 생리활성 증진을 목적으로 첨가되는 심황색소에 이러한 가열처리 효과가 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.
