In this study, the α-amylase inhibitory activity, α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity, and Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity of the fruiting body extracts of 5 varieties of Agaricus bisporus (AB) were confirmed. First, the α-amylase inhibitory activity of AB12, AB13, AB18, AB34, and AB40 methanol extracts was lower than that of acarbose, a positive control, in all concentration ranges. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the AB40, AB13, and AB12 methanol extracts at the extract concentration of 1.0 mg/mL was 80.5%, 81.3%, and 78.5%, respectively, similar to that of acarbose, a positive control. The pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of the methanol extract of Agaricus bisporus fruiting body was significantly lower than that of the positive control orlistat in the concentration range of 50~1.000 (mg/mL). The Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity was 0.5~8.0 mg/mL of each extract, which was significantly lower than that of the positive control allopurinol in the same concentration range. However, the Xanthine Oxidase inhibitory activity of AB13 and AB40 at 8.0 mg/mL was about 70%, which was higher than that of other mushrooms. In conclusion, five kinds of Agaricus bisporus fruiting bodies seem to have inhibitory effects on enzymes such as α-amylase, α-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase, and Xanthine Oxidase that degrade starch and protein. In particular, it has an inhibitory effect and a reduction effect on xanthine oxidase that causes gout, so it is expected that it can be developed and used as a food or health supplement with health functional properties through future research.

For the purpose of utilizing tannins in the functional foods and crude drugs the xanthine oxidase inhibition of tannins isolated from Korean green tea was determined. Acetone extract from Korean green tea showed inhibitory effect against the xanthine oxidase. The galloyl tannins showed higher inhibitory activity against xanthine oxidase than the nongalloyl tannins. In terms of stereo isomers, (-)-epicatechins had higher inhibitory activity than the (+)-catechins. The synergistic activity was also observed. Tannins isolated from Korean green tea appeared to be incompetitive inhibitor against the xanthine oxidase.

To examine the free radical scavenging activities from buckwheat, Suwon No. 5 was extracted with various solvents. The seed of Suwon No. 5 had a high contents of carbohydrate, but the vegetable of that had a 31.4% of protein, 28.6% of ash and 25.7% carbohydrate as moisture free basis. Phenols contents of vegetable extracts had higher than those of seed extracts. Acetone extract of vegetable showed the greatest electron donating ability. Butanol and acetone extracts of vegetable showed high inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation. Acetone extract of vegetable has also excellent activity in the superoxide radical scavenging activity by xanthine/xanthine oxidase-cytochrome c reduction system. The inhibitory effects of extracts on xanthine oxidase were measured. Acetone extract had the strongest inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase and $IC_{50}$ was 2.2$\mu\textrm{g}$.

To examine the characteristics of antioxidative compounds from Capsella bursa-pastoris, ethanol extracts were separated into five organic solvent fractions; hexane(Fr.H), diethyl ether (Fr.E), ethyl acetate(Fr.EA), butanol (Fr.B), and water(Fr.D) fractions. Fr.B showed the greatest electron donating ability and inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation. Whereas Fr.E had the most excellent activity in the superoxide radical scavenging activity by xanthine/xanthine oxidase-cytochrome c reduction system. The inhibitory effect of each fraction on xanthine oxidase was also measured. Fr.E had the strongest inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase and $IC_{50}$ was $5.65\;{\mu}g$. The results indicate that the superoxide radical scavenging activity of Fr.E is caused by the inhibitory effect on radical generating system of xanthine oxidase. Also the order of inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase was Fr.B

We prepared supernatants and cell-free extracts of yeasts isolated from wild flowers in Korea, and their antioxidant activity and inhibitory activities of xanthine oxidase and tyrosinase were investigated. Among them, cell-free extracts of Kuraishia capsulata UL40-2 and Sporobolomyces ruberrimus 121-Z-3 showed significantly high xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of 46.4% and 48.3%, respectively. Starmerella bombicola 80-J-1 also showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity of 36.2% in the cell-free extract. Other antioxidant activities and tyrosinase inhibitory activities were not detected or were below 20%. Maximal production of the xanthine oxidase inhibitors were observed when Kuraishia capsulate UL40-2 and Sporobolomyces ruberrimus 121-Z-3 were cultured in the yeast extract-peptone-dextrose media at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 hour, respectively.

This study was performed to certify the inhibitory effect of aqueous extracts from sixty-seven medicinal plants on the activity of xanthine oxidase in vitro. Among the sixty-seven medicinal plants, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Citrus aurantium L., Polygonum multiflorum Thunb., Pueraria thunbergiana (Sieb. et Zucc.) Benth., Citrus unshiu Marcor., Rubus coreanus Miquel, Camellia sinensis L., and Poncirus trifoliata Raf. were regarded as effective anti-gout sources. The active substances of P. multiflorum root extract were very stable at pH 2.0 and high temperatures. Xanthine oxidase activity was proportionally inhibited when concentrations of P. multiflorum extract increased. The aqueous extract from P. multiflorum root at a concentration of 2.0 mg/0.1 mL inhibited xanthine oxidase by 73.8%.

The inhibitory effects of xanthine oxidase by the methanol extract and the solvent fractions obtained from persimmon leaves were investigated. The inhibition ratio of xanthine oxidase was 78% by addition of 2.0mg/ml of the methanol extract. Among the solvent fractions, the ethylacetate fraction showed the strongest inhibitory effect against the xanthine oxidase, followed by the hexane fraction. The effect increased with addition of the ethylacetate fraction. At a concentration of 2.0mg/ml of the ethylacetate fraction, 65% of the enzyme activity decreased within 1.0 min of incubation with xanthine oxidase. But the activity of xanthine oxidise did not decrease significantly by the length of the incubation time.

Inhibition of xanthine oxidase by seaweed extracts obtained from Undaria pinnatifida, Ecklonia stolonifera, Ecklonia cava, Laminaria japonica, Sargassum, Codiumfragile, Enteromorpha compressa and Porphyra tenera were investigated. Extracts of E. stolonifera and E. mua remarkably inhibited xanthine oxidase activity compared to those of other seaweed. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of E. cava was higher than that of E. stolonifera. Diethyl ether extract from E. cava was more effective in the inhibition of xanthine oxidase than other solvent extracts. Two xanthine oxidase inhibitors(A-1 and A-2) from diethyl ether extract were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities of these compounds were 27.8 and 48.1% per 0.4mg, respectively. The active compound A-2 had absorption peak at 420nm, 456nm and 467nm, which can be considered as siphonaxanthine.

Anti-gout xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of water extracts from various mushrooms were determined. The highest xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity was 72.9% in the water extract from fruiting body of Agaricus brazillensis and also were high in the extract from fruiting bodies of Pleurotus salmoneostramineus(60.1%), Phellinus baumii(57.7%), Agaricus bisporus(56.7%) and Hericium erinaceum(53.4%). The xanthine oxidase inhibitor was maximally extracted when Agaricus brazillensis fruiting body was treated with water at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 h.

Rebamipide, 2-(4-chlorobenzoylamino)-3-[2(1H)-quinolinone-4-yl]-propionic acid, a novel antipeptic ulcer agent, has been reported to prevent various acute experimental gastric mucosal lesions and to accelerate the healing of chronic ulcers. Therapeutic effect of rebamipide was investigated with regard to the inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase activity and type conversion of the enzyme which play a profound role in oxygen radicals generation system. Intraperitoneal administration of rebamipide at 60 mg/kg body weight reduced the xanthine oxidase activity, lipid peroxide content in ammonia induced hemorrhagic lesion. These results suggest that the therapeutic effect of rebamipide on gastric mucosal lesion may be in part due to the inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase and type conversion rate of the enzyme.
