MPTP에 의해 유도된 Parkinsonism에 대한 selenium의 보호효과와 그 보호작용에 대한 항산화적 해독기전을 조사하기 위하여 MPTP 10mg/kg을 6일간 주사하고 selenium (25, 50, 100 ${\mu}g/kg$)을 10일간 경구 투여하였으며 처음 6일간은 selenium와 MPTP를 병용 투여하였다. 실험동물을 마지막으로 selenium을 투여하고 24시간 후에 치사시켜 일반적인 독성과 항산화 방어능과 관련된 지표성분과 monoamine oxidase와 같은 신경생화학적인 지표성분들을 뇌조직에서 측정하였으며 그 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 우선 MPTP를 투여함에 따라 운동능력이 저하되던 것이 selenium을 투여함에 따라 운동능력이 증가되었으며, 이러한 결과의 기전은 selelnium을 투여함으로써 MPTP를 $MPP^+$로 대사시키는 MAO-B의 활성을 억제하였으며 $MPP^+$에 의해 유도된 신경독성에 대한 selenium의 보호 효과는 selenium을 투여함으로써 활성산소 해독계인 SOD, catalase, glutathione peroxidase의 활성을 증가시키기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Opuntia ficus-indica, commonly known as prickly pear cactus, is commercially grown as a food and medicinal plant in Jeju Island, Korea. The crushed pads and fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica were dried in a freeze-dryer and ground into flour to be used for food materials. The major components of proximate compositions were part of a nitrogen free extract. The major minerals were Ca (4391.2-2086.9㎎%), K (1932.1-2608.7㎎%), and Mg (800.6-1984.8㎎%). The major amino acid was glutamic acid, comprising 16.3% of total amino acids in fruit and 25.2% in pad. Dihydroflavonols were identified as (+)-trans-dihydrokaempferol and (+)-trans-dihydroquercetin. Citric acid methyl esters extracted from fruits showed inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidase-B. The presence of trimethyl citrate has been reported in other plants, but 1,3-dimethyl citrate and 1-monomethyl citrate have not been previously reported. The results of pharmacological efficacy tests, including serum biochemical and hematological parameters, autonomic nervous system, anti-inflammatory, analgestic activity, anti-diabetic activity, antithrombotic, anticoagulant, dopamine beta-hydroxylase, monoamine oxidase activity, hyperlipidemia, the respiratory system, antigastic, and anti-ulcerative actions indicate that the fruit and pad of the Opuntia ficus-indica are rich sources of food and medicinal materials.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of silk fibroin (Mw 500) powder (SFP) on lipofuscin, acetylcholine (ACh) and its related enzyme activities in brain of rats. Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (160$\pm$10 g) were fed basic diet (control group), and experimental diets (SFP-2.5 and SFp-5.0 groups) added 2.5 and 5.0 g/kg BW/day for 6 weeks. In case of liver membranes, lipofuscin (LF) levels resulted in a considerable decreases (11.5% and 13.8%, respectively) in SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. But in case of brain as the most sensitive organ, LF levels were remarkably inhibited about 18.3% and 21.7% in SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. Acetylcholine (ACh) levels were considerable decrease (3.0% and 9.2%, respectively) in brain membranes of SFP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. choine acetyltranferase (ChAT) activities as a synthesis enzyme of ACh, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities as a hydrolysis enzyme resulted in a slight increases (2.4% and 3.0%, 4.6% and 6.3%, respectively), but significance difference between ChAT and AChE activities by SFP administration could be not obtained. Monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) activities were significantly inhibited (9.5% and 12.6%, respectively) in brain of SEP-2.5 and SFP-5.0 groups compared with control group. These results suggest that inhibiting effects of LF accumulation and MAO-B activity of silk fibroin(SFP) may play a pivotal role in protecting learning memory impairments by attenuating a various age-related changes for improvement of brain function.

조류 및 포유류에서 미토콘드리아를 분리하고 모노아민산화효소(EC 1.4.3.4, monoamine oxidase)의 활성을 측정하여 미토콘드리아의 분리도를 확인하였다. 미토콘드리아 각 분획에서 젖산탈수소효소(EC 1.1.1.27, lactate dehydrogenase, LDH)의 발현도를 생화학적 및 면역화학적 방법으로 분석하였다. 조류에 비하여 포유류에서는 미토콘드리아 LDH의 활성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 미토콘드리아 LDH의 역할은 포유류보다 조류에서 중요시된다고 생각된다. 조류 및 포유류 모든 조직의 단백질양은 세포기질보다 미토콘드리아에서 적게 나타났다. 생쥐와 골든햄스터의 세포기질에서는 LDH $A_4$, $A_3B$, $A_2B_2$, $AB_3$ 및 $B_4$ 다섯 가지 동위효소 이외에 testis-specific LDH $C_4$ 동위효소가 정소 조직에서 나타났다. 닭의 미토콘드리아 내에서는 AB hybrid형 동위효소 한 종류가 나타났다. 포유류에서 미토콘드리아 LDH 동위효소들은 조직 별로 다르게 나타났다. 생쥐의 미토콘드리아 내에서는 LDH $A_4$ 및 testis-specific $C_4$ 동위효소가 나타났다. 미토콘드리아 testis-specific LDH $C_4$ 동위효소는 생쥐에서만 나타났다. 골든햄스터 미토콘드리아 내에서는 LDH $B_4$ 동위효소가 lactate oxidase로서 작용하였다. 조류 및 포유류의 대사조건 및 서식환경에 따라 미토콘드리아 LDH 동위효소의 역할도 구분되는 것으로 생각된다.

Three compounds were isolated from marine-derived Streptomyces sp. CNQ-031, and their inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases (MAOs), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and β-secretase (BACE-1) were evaluated. Compound 1 (5,7-dihydroxy-2-isopropyl-4H-chromen-4-one) was a potent and selective inhibitor of MAO-A, with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of 2.70 µM and a selectivity index (SI) of 10.0 versus MAO-B. Compound 2 [5,7-dihydroxy-2-(1-methylpropyl)-4H-chromen-4-one] was a potent and low-selective inhibitor of MAO-B, with an IC₅₀ of 3.42 µM and an SI value of 2.02 versus MAO-A. Compound 3 (1-methoxyphenazine) did not inhibit MAO-A or MAO-B. All three compounds showed little inhibitory activity against AChE, BChE, and BACE-1. The K_i value of compound 1 for MAO-A was 0.94 ± 0.28 µM, and the K_i values of compound 2 for MAO-A and MAO-B were 3.57 ± 0.60 and 1.89 ± 0.014 µM, respectively, with competitive inhibition. The 1-methylpropyl group in compound 2 increased the MAO-B inhibitory activity compared with the isopropyl group in compound 1. Inhibition of MAO-A and MAO-B by compounds 1 and 2 was recovered by dialysis experiments. These results suggest that compounds 1 and 2 are reversible, competitive inhibitors of MAOs and can be considered potential therapies for neurological disorders such as depression and Alzheimer's disease.

Isolation of the culture broth of a marine-derived Acremonium sp. CNQ-049 guided by HPLC-UV yielded compound 1 (3-phenethyl-2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one), and its inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidases (MAOs), cholinesterases (ChEs), and β-secretase 1 (BACE1) were evaluated. Compound 1 was an effective selective MAO-B inhibitor with an IC₅₀ value of 9.39 µM and a selectivity index (SI) value of 4.26 versus MAO-A. In addition, compound 1 showed a potent selective butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition with an IC₅₀ value of 7.99 µM and an SI value of 5.01 versus acetylcholinesterase (AChE). However, compound 1 showed weak inhibitions against MAO-A, AChE, and BACE1. The Ki value of compound 1 for MAO-B was 5.22±1.73 µM with competitive inhibition, and the Ki value of compound 1 for BChE was 3.00±1.81 µM with mixed-type inhibition. Inhibitions of MAO-B and BChE by compound 1 were recovered by dialysis experiments. These results suggest that compound 1 is a dual-functional reversible inhibitor of MAO-B and BChE, that can be used as a treatment agent for neurological disorders.

(E)-2-Phenylcyclopropylamine ((E)-TCP), (Z)-2-Phenylacyclopropylamine ((Z)-TCP), (E)-1-methyl-2-phenylcyclopropylamine ((E)-MTCP), and (Z)-1-methyl-2-phenylcyclopropylamine ((Z)-MTCP) were synthesized and used to determine to what extent 1-methylsubstitution and stereochemistry of 2-phenycyclopropylamines affect inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO). Inhibition of rat brain mitochondrial MAO-A and B by the compounds were measured using serotonin and benzylamine as the substrate, respectively and $IC_{50}$ values obtianed with 95% confidence limits by the method of computation. For the inhibition of MAO-A, (E)-MTPC ($IC_{50}$ = 6.2 * $10^{-8}$M) was found to be 37 times more potent than (Z)-MTCP ($IC_{50}$ = 7.8 * $10^{-8}$M), was 7 times more potent than (Z)-MTCP($IC_{50}$= 4.7 * $10^{-7}$M) and (E)-TCP($IC_{50}$ =7.8 * $10^{-8}$M),0.6 times as potent as (Z)- TCP ($IC_{50}$ = 4.4 * $10^{-8}$M). The results suggested that while without 1-methyl group, potency of a (Z)-isomer was comparable to that of (E)-isomer, the methyl group in its (Z)-position was very unfavorable to the inhibition of MAO and that in its (E)-position, the methyl group contributed positively to the potency as found by the fact that (E)-MTCP was 1-5 times more potent than (E)-TCP. In view of the selective inhibition of MAO-A- or B over MAO-A and 1-methyl substitution as well as the stereochemical factors did not significantly influence the selectivity.

녹용은 한방에서 신경조절 약화, 신체발육부진, 허약체질 등에 사용되는 강장제로서 인삼과 더불어 중요한 약재 중의 하나이지만 아직까지 유효 성분이 밝혀져 있지 않다. 알려진 녹용의 성분으로 collagen, acid mucopolysaccharide, 중성지질, 당지질, ganglioside, 인지질, proteolipid, prostaglandins, estrone, estradiol, cholesterol, its ester, 7-keto-cholesterol, 7$\alpha$-hydroxycholesterol , 7$\beta$-hydroxycholesterol , p-hydroxy-benzaldehyde, uracil, uridine, hypoxanthine, nicotinic acid, creatinine urea 등이 보고되었다. 이와 같은 성분들은 동물조직에서 공통적으로 발견되는 것들로서 녹용의 특이성분이라 부르기 어렵다. 그러나 uracil, uridine, hypoxanthine과 같은 핵산염기 관련 성분은 녹용에 비교적 함량이 많고, 이중에서 hypoxanthine은 monoamine oxidase-B에 대한 저해작용이 있으므로 주목할 필요성이 있다.

A previous study showed that sulfur amino acid deprivation (SAAD) potentiated cytotoxicity induced by arsenic (As) and that activation of ERKl/2, p38 kinase and JNK1 was responsible for the potentiation of As toxicity. In the present study, we found for the first time that deprenyl a selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor prevented potentiation of As toxicity by SAAD in a dose-dependent manner.(omitted)

국민생활 수준의 향상과 의학기술의 발달로 인하여 평균수명이 증가하였지만 이에 반해 성인병, 암, 치매 등 질병 유병율은 점차적으로 증가하는 실정이다. 특히 당뇨와 치매는 고령화 현상에 따른 노인 인구의 증가에 따라 그 심각성이 더욱 크다. 또한 문경에서는 품질이 낮은 향신 표고버섯의 대 부위를 분말화하여 조미료로 이용함으로써 표고버섯의 활용 및 부가가치를 높이고 있으나, 표고버섯의 채취시기 및 부위별 생리활성에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 KK 당뇨마우스를 이용하여 대조군과 표고버섯 품질 (동고, 향신) 및 부위별(갓, 대) 분말을 섭취한 4종의 실험군을 8주간 사육한 다음 치매관련 뇌조직 신경전달 물질(neurotransmitter) 및 그 관련효소를 조사하고 활성 산소에 의한 산화적 스트레스로 지질과산화(lipid peroxide)를 평가하였다. 그 결과 뇌의 가장 중요한 신경전달물질인 아세틸콜린 함량은 표고버섯 향신갓 부분을 섭취한 실험군 HSC에서 약 12$\%$의 유의적인 증가효과를 보였으며, 아세틸콜린 분해효소인 AChE효소의 저해활성은 동고갓 부분을 섭취한 DGC실험군에서 약 10$\%$의 유의적인 아세틸콜린에 스테라아제 활성 저해효과를 보였으며, 향신갓 부분를 섭취한 HSC 실험군에서도 저해되는 경향을 보였다. 카테콜아민계 신경전달물질의 파괴에 관계하는 MAO-B효소의 저해활성은 향신갓 부위 첨가 식이 HSC에서 약 12$\%$의 유의적인 활성 저해효과를 보였으며, 지질과산화는 동고갓 부위를 섭취한 실험군 DGC에서 약 10$\%$의 유의적인 지질과산화 감소 효과를 보였다. 따라서 표고버섯은 대 부분보다는 갓 부분이 채취시기 및 품질에 상관없이 당뇨모델 마우스 뇌조직의 AChE 효소의 활성을 저해하여 ACh의 농도를 높일 뿐만 아니라 MAO-B효소와 활성산소에 의한 산화적 스트레스를 효과적으로 억제하여 신경전달물질을 잘 보존하여 인지능력 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 표고버섯의 급여기간 및 첨가수준을 달리한 계속적인 연구가 계속되어야 할 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 결과를 근거로 한 표고버섯 소재의 다양한 제품 개발과 부가가치 향상이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
