Davallialactone (DAVA) is a hispidin analogue derived from the medicinal fungus Phellinus baumii. We examined the effect of DAVA on in vitro fertilization (IVF) of pigs. Boar spermatozoa were incubated in fertilization medium with varying concentrations of DAVA, then sperm motility and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level were evaluated. Higher sperm motility was found following the addition of 0.5 or $1{\mu}M$ DAVA after incubation than addition of other concentrations or controls. ROS level decreased significantly with the addition of DAVA. The rate of normal fertilization was higher in the presence of $1{\mu}M$ DAVA (65.1%) than were those of other concentrations or controls (45.4~59.4%), and the highest total fertilization rate (mono- and polyspermic oocytes) was observed at $1{\mu}M$ DAVA (83%). In conclusion, addition of DAVA to fertilization medium improved sperm motility, and reduced ROS level so as to potentially improve sperm-oocyte binding in IVF, suggesting the potential of a compound isolated from mushrooms in assisted reproductive technology for humans and animals.

Peroxynitrite ($(ONOO^-)$ is a cytotoxic species formed from nitric oxide and superoxide anion, which are highly implicated in the pathogenesis of oxidative stress-mediated diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the scavenging effects of Phellinus linteus on authentic $ONOO^-$, and further phytochemical studies are planned that will attempt to identify the active principles. From the active EtOAc fraction, a mixture of fungisterol and 5-dihydroergosterol (1), a mixture of betulin and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid bis (2-methyl heptyl) ester (2), protocatechualdehyde (3), protocatechuic acid (4), cirsiumaldehyde (5), hispidin (6), caffeic acid (7), phelligridin D (8), uracil (9), gallic acid (10), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (11), ferulic acid (12), 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (13), arbutin (14), isoferulic acid (15), guanosine (16), and ellagic acid (17) were isolated, and their structures were characterized based on spectroscopic data. All compounds except 3, 6, 7 and 16 were isolated for the first time from P. linteus. Compounds 3, 4, 6-8, 10-15, and 17 showed potent scavenging activity on $ONOO^-$, with $IC_{50}$ values of $2.06\;{\pm}\;0.10$, $3.45\;{\pm}\;0.57$, $0.71\;{\pm}\;0.05$, $2.78\;{\pm}\;0.36$, $5.42\;{\pm}\;0.26$, $1.13\;{\pm}\;0.02$, $1.82\;{\pm}\;0.17$, $0.91\;{\pm}\;0.19$, $1.59\;{\pm}\;0.09$, $1.88\;{\pm}\;0.07$, $1.22\;{\pm}\;0.37$, and $2.01\;{\pm}\;0.02\;{\mu}M$, respectively, as compared to the positive control, DL-penicillamine, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $5.04\;{\pm}\;0.06\;{\mu}M$.

Influenza viruses are RNA viruses that belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family, and those can be divided into three types; A, B, and C, which based on the differences of the inner nucleoproteins and genomic structures. All three genera differ in their genomic structure and nucleoprotein content, they are further classified into various serotypes based on the two surface glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). These glycoproteins play crucial roles in viral infection and replication. Hemagglutinin mediates binding of virions to sialic acid receptors on the surfaces of target cells at the initial stage of infection. Neuraminidase cleaves the glycosidic bonds of sialic acids from the viral and cell surfaces to release the mature virions from infected cells, after viral replication. Because NA plays an important role in the viral life cycle, it is considered an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of influenza. The methanolic extracts of Phellinus baumii and Phellinus igniarius exhibited significant activity in the neuraminidase inhibition assay. Polyphenolic compounds were isolated from the methanolic extracts. The structures of these compounds were determined to be hispidin, hypholomine B, inoscavin A, davallialactone, phelligridin D, phelligridin E, and phelligridin G by spectroscopic methods. Compounds inhibited the H1N1 neuraminidase activity in a dose-dependent manner with $IC_{50}$ values of 50.9, 22.9, 20.0, 14.2, 8.8, 8.1 and $8.0{\mu}M$, respectively. Moreover, these compounds showed anti-influenza activity in the viral cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction assay using MDCK cells. These results suggests that the polyphenols from P. baumii and P. igniarius are promising candidates for prevention and therapeutic strategies against viral infection.

본 연구에서는 상황버섯 추출물의 항산화 및 항노화 활성 및 항균 효과, 그리고 성분분석에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 상황버섯 추출물의 자유 라디칼(1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) 소거활성($FSC_{50}$)은 에틸아세테이트(ethylacetate) 분획($2.94\;{\mu}g/mL$)에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었고, 루미놀-의존성 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$계에서 생성된 활성산소종(reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 상황버섯 추출물의 총항산화능은 추출물의 에틸아세테이트 분획($0.0072\;{\mu}g/mL$)에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내었다. 광증감제인 rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 억제 효과를 측정하였을 때 농도범위($5{\sim}50\;{\mu}g/mL$)에서 50 % 에탄올 추출물과 에틸아세테이트 분획 모두 농도 의존적으로 세포 보호 효과를 나타내었다. 타이로시네이즈의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)를 측정한 결과 50 % 에탄올 추출물($IC_{50}=6.34\;{\mu}g/mL$)에서 우수한 효과를 나타내었으며, 엘라스테이즈의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)는 에틸아세테이트분획($IC_{50}=14.08\;{\mu}g/mL$)에서 큰 효과가 나타났다. TLC, HPLC 및 LC/ESI-MS를 이용하여 상황버섯 추출물 ethylacetate 분획의 주성분을 분석하였고 hispidin 유도체인 interfungin A를 확인하였다. 이상의 결과들은 상황버섯 추출물이 ROS에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계, 특히 태양 자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로써 작용할 수 있으며, 특히 상황버섯 추출물의 에틸아세테이트 분획을 항산화, 항노화 및 미백 기능성 화장품 소재로써의 응용 가능성을확인하였다.

미생물, 버섯류, 약용식물 등 천연물 대사산물로부터 미백, 주름개선용 화장품 신소재로 활용 가능한 항산화 신소재를 탐색하였다. 그 결과 Eupenicillium shearii 균주 배양액으로부터 4개의 phenol계 항산화 활성물질을 순수하게 분리하고 화학구조를 결정하여 melanocin A-D로 명명하였다. Melanocin $A{\sim}D$ 화합물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성은 $EC_{50}21{\sim}94{\mu}M$, superoxide 소거활성은 $EC_{50}\;7{\sim}84{\mu}M$로 arbutin 및 BHA보다 우수한 활성을 나타냈으며, 주름개선 효과도 매우 우수하였다. 기와층버섯(Inonotus xeranticus) 자실체 추출물로부터 강력한 항산화 활성물질인 히스피딘계 신물질을 얻어 inoscavin A로 명명하였다. Inoscavin A 화합물의 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과, superoxide radical 소거활성은 $EC_{50}\;0.03{\mu}g/mL$, rat의 간 microsome의 지질과산화 억제활성 $EC_{50}$은 $0.3{\mu}g/mL$로서 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$의 $1.5{\mu}g/mL$, BHA의 $4.9{\mu}g/mL$ 보다 우수하였다. Streptomyces nitrosporeus 균주 배양액으로부터 신규 지질과산화 억제 활성물질을 benzastatin $A{\sim}G$를 분리하였다. Benzastatin $A{\sim}G$의 지질과산화 억제활성 $EC_{50}$는 $3{\sim}30{\mu}M$로 매우 우수하였다. Penicillium sp. 균주로부터 미백활성물질을 탐색하여 cyclopentene계 화합물인 terrein을 얻었다. Terrein은 kojic acid 보다 약 10배 이상 강력한 미백활성을 나타낸 반면, $100{\mu}M$ 농도에서도 비교적 안전한 화합물로 확인되었으며, 작용기전은 MITF 단백질을 조절함으로 활성을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.
