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.

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with type B gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. The vacuolation of cells induced by H. pylori is thought to be essential for the initiation and maintenance of gastric infection. The roles of H. pylori cytotoxin, urease, and ammonia in the vacuolation of HeLa cells were determined. Ammonium chloride augmented the neutral red uptake induced by H. pylori toxin. Acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) failed to block the neutral red uptake induced by H. pylori toxin. Leweifang significantly prevented the vacuolation of HeLa cells induced by H. pylori toxin or H. pylori toxin and ammonium chloride. Further investigation is required to determine the mechanisms of Leweifang for the inhibition of vacuole formation of eukaryotic cells in response to the H. pylori toxin.

Four kinds of neutral sodium salts with different anions, NaF, NaCl, NaBr, and NaI, were added to the dye bath to accurately understand the effect of anions on the reactive dyeing of silk with C. I. Reactive Black 5. The sodium cation towered the negative surface potential of the silk and increased the dye-uptake on fille fabric as reported previously. However, because of the discrepancy in the anions'inhibition power from cation's lowering: the surface negative potential the amount of the dye on the silk fiber was different from each other in the order of $F^->Cl^-> Br^-I^-$. The activation energy(E$_{a}$) lot the dyeing was in the order of $F^->Cl^-> Br^-I^-$ but the dye-uptake on the fabric and the activation free energy$(\Delta{G}^*)$, the real energy barrier fort the reaction, were in the order of $F^->Cl^-> Br^-I^-$ because the strength of the interaction of the anions with sodium cations was the salute as the order of the latter. In other words F$^{[-1000]}$ exerted the weakest electrostatic force on $Na^+$ and competed with the dyestuff anions least of all. The decrease in $\Delta{S}^*$ may be due to the looesly bonded activated complex of dyestuff anions, sodium cations and fiber molecules at transition state. It was clarified from the Brёnsted equation that sodium salts with different anions also had fille ionic strength effect and the specific salt effect on the reactive dyeing.g.

Bacillus licheniformis strains L-25 and PWD-1 are two thermophilic feather-degrading bacteria. Despite isolated from different environmental conditions, they were both capable of breaking down chicken feathers and growing in a medium in which feather was the only source of carbon and nitrogen. A 1.46-kb keratinase gene (ker B) was isolated from strain L-25 by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using L-25 genomic DNA as templates. Sequencing results reveal that ker B shares great sequence identity with a previously published keratinase gene of B. licheniformis PWD-1 (ker A). Only two amino acids differences were found in the deduced amino acid sequence between the keratinases from L-25 and PWD-1. However several nucleotide changes were found upstream of the putative promoter region. Protease inhibition studies indicated that neutral protease activity accounted for approximate 25 to 30% of total extracellular proteolytic activity produced by strain L-25 in the feather medium. In contrast, no measurable neutral protease activity was produced by strain PWD-1 in the feather medium. When glucose (1%), a common catabolic repressor, was added into the feather medium, L-25 was still able to grow and produce keratinase. Strain PWD-1 produced no neutral protease activity and its growth was severely inhibited in the feather medium containing glucose. L-25 produced an enhanced level of keratinase in the feather medium in comparison with PWD-1.

The present study examines the effects of 30 mg/kg butachlor on the cyanobacterial diversity of rice fields in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Western Bihar in India. A total of 40 samples were grouped into three classes [(i) acidic, (ii) neutral, and (iii) alkaline soils], based on physicochemical and principle component analyses. Acidic soils mainly harbored Westillopsis, Trichormus, Anabaenopsis, and unicellular cyanobacteria; whereas Nostoc, Anabaena, Calothrix, Tolypothrix, and Aulosira were found in neutral and alkaline soils. Molecular characterization using 16S rRNA PCR and DGGE revealed the presence of 13 different phylotypes of cyanobacteria in these samples. Butachlor treatment of the soil samples led to the disappearance of 5 and the emergence of 2 additional phylotypes. A total of 40 DGGE bands showed significant reproducible changes upon treatment with butachlor. Phylogenetic analyses divided the phylotypes into five major clusters exhibiting interesting links with soil pH. Aulosira, Anabaena, Trichormus, and Anabaenopsis were sensitive to butachlor treatment, whereas uncultured cyanobacteria, a chroococcalean member, Westillopsis, Nostoc, Calothrix, Tolypothrix, Rivularia, Gloeotrichia, Fischerella, Leptolyngbya, and Cylindrospermum, appeared to be tolerant against butachlor at their native soil pH. Butachlor-induced inhibition of nitrogen fixation was found to be 65% (maximum) and 33% (minimum) in the soil samples of pH 9.23 and 5.20, respectively. In conclusion, low butachlor doses may prove beneficial in paddy fields having a neutral to alkaline soil pH.

방아의 ether추출물을 중성, 페놀성, 산성 및 염기성 획분으로 분획한 다음 그들의 항산화 활성을 수소 공여능, 과산화물가, TBA가 및 흰쥐 간 microsome을 이용한 비효소적 지질 과산화 억제 활성 등으로 측정하고, 항산화 활성이 비교적 높게 나타나는 페놀성 획분과 중성 획분을 다시 소획분으로 분획한 다음 그중에서 항산화 활성이 강한 소획분성분을 GC/MS 및 NMR로 분석, 동정하였다. 페놀성 획분은 DPPH에 의한 수소 공여능, POV, TBA가 및 흰쥐 간 microsome의 지질 과산화 억제 활성 등 모두에서 높게 나타났으며, 중성 획분은 흰쥐 간 microsome의 지질 과산화 억제 활성에서 높게 나타났다. 페놀성 획분을 소획분으로 분획하였을 때 소획분 P-1, P-2 및 P-3에서 항산화 활성이 강하였으며, 특히 P-2는 합성 항산화제인 BHT나 천연 항산화물질로 알려져 있는 caffeic acid보다도 강하였다. 소획분 P-2를 TMS 유도체로 만들어 GC로 분석하였을 때 major peak 성분인 Peak I, II, III 및 IV 모두 TMS m/z 73를 base peak로 가지고 있어 4개의 peak 모두 -OH, -COOH기를 가지고 있는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 중성 획분의 소획분 중에는 N-2에서 강한 활성을 나타내었고 소획분 N-2의 주성분을GC/MS 및 NMR로 분석 한 결과 estragole로 확인되었다. Estragole의 흰쥐 간 microsome의 지질 과산화 50% 억제 농도는 $20{\sim}50\;{\mu}g/ml$로서 BHT보다는 약하였으니 caffeic acid, gallic acid와는 비슷한 수준의 항산화 활성을 나타내었다.

Previously, the methanolic extract of Paeonia moutan seeds was found to potently inhibit soybean lipoxy-genase (SLO). Hence to isolate SLO inhibitor, the defattd methaniolic extract of the seeds was consecutively partitioned wiht ether, ethyl acetate,n-butanol ,adn water. The ether souble fraction showing strong inhibitory activity against SLO was further fractionated into a strongly acidic, a weakly acidic, and a neutral fractions. The strongly acidic components of the ether extract were successively subjected to chromatography on a silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and preparative HPLC. Four phenolic compounds were isolated , and twio of them showing a strong SLO inhibition activity were identified as luteolin (IC50=2.32$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) and 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,3'- dimethoxylflavone (IC50=0.31$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) by UV, IR, 1H-& 13C-NMR, and MS spectroscopy. In addition, two flavonoids showed significantly antioxidative activity as strong as that of of $\alpha$-tocopherol (p<0.05) in the autoxidation system of linoleic acid. These results suggest that luteolin and 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,3'-dimethoxy-flavone may be used as a potential source of anti-inflammatory agents with antioxidative activity.

Crocin, the main pigment of Crocus sativus L., has been shown to have antiproliferative effects on cancer cells, but the involved mechanisms are only poor understood. This study focused on probable effect of crocin on the immortality of hepatic cancer cells. Cytotoxicity of crocin ($IC_{50}$ 3 mg/ml) in hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells was determined after 48 h by neutral red uptake assay and MTT test. Immortality was investigated through quantification of relative telomerase activity with a quantitative real-time PCR-based telomerase repeat amplification protocol (qTRAP). Telomerase activity in 0.5 ${\mu}g$ protein extract of HepG2 cells treated with 3 mg/ml crocin was reduced to about 51% as compared to untreated control cells. Two mechanisms of inhibition, i.e. interaction of crocin with telomeric quadruplex sequences and down regulation of hTERT expression, were examined using FRET analysis to measure melting temperature of a synthetic telomeric oligonucleotide in the presence of crocin and quantitative real-time RT-PCR, respectively. No significant changes were observed in the $T_m$ telomeric oligonucleotides, while the relative expression level of the catalytic subunit of telomerase (hTERT) gene showed a 60% decrease as compared to untreated control cells. In conclusion, telomerase activity of HepG2 cells decreases after treatment with crocin, which is probably caused by down-regulation of the expression of the catalytic subunit of the enzyme.

사람 중성구내의 azurophil granule 내에 존재하는 serine protease인 cathepsin G는 정상 반응에서는 항 박테리아 작용을 나타내는데 관여하지만, 이들의 효소활성이 비정상적으로 증가되었을 때는 오히려 인체 정상 조직을 파괴함으로써 rheumatoid arthritis를 비롯한 여러가지 염증성 질환을 야기시킨다고 알려져 있다. 항염증제로 작용하는데 있어서 prostaglandin 합성을 억제하는 작용 이외에 다른 작용 기전이 있는가 하는것은 대단히 흥미있는 연구 과제이었으므로 neutral protease 중의 하나인 cathepsin G와 이 염증반응에 직접적으로 관여하는지 알아보기 위하여 본 연구에서는 두 단계의 크로마토그라피를 거쳐 순수한 cathepsin G를 분리하고, 여러가지 비스테로이드성 항염증제를 이용하여 cathepsin G에 대한 억제 정도를 관찰하였다. 이중 sulindac, salicylate, phenylbutazone, oxyphenbutazone 그리고 salicyluric acid가 각각 4.3mM, 14.3mM, 6.5mM, 11mM, 15mM의 $IC_{50}$로써 cathepsin G의 활성도를 억제하였다. 따라서 NSAIDs의 항염증 작용 기전은 기존에 알려지고 있는 cyclooxygenase 억제에 따른 prostaglanndin 합성, 분비 억제 기전이외에 rheumatoid arthritis 부위에 직접적 원인으로 작용할 가능성이 있는 cathepsin G를 억제 함으로써 조직 파괴를 막는 역할을 하고 있을 가능성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.
