Abstract

$\alpha$-D-Glucosidase inhibitor purified in a pure form was amorphous powder which gave a single spot at Rf value 0.12-0.71 with various developing solvent systems on silica gel thin layer chromatography, and melting point was 154.3-155.3$^{\circ}C$. It was disolved in water, formic acid and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and was very high hygroscopic substance. Biochemical reaction of the substance was positive to phenol sulfuric acid, ninhydrin, silver nitrate-sodium hydroxide, but negative to DNS reagent. Acid hydrolysis gave fructose and acid as sole sugar and amino acid constituents respectively. Moelcular weight of the inhibitor was estimated to be 1,050 by Shphadex G-25 column chromatography.

정제된 저해물질의 Rf치는 0.12-0.71 사이였으며 melting point는 154.3-155.3$^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 물, formic acid, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether에는 용해되지만 그외 대부분의 용매에서는 불용성이었고 흡습성이 매우 큰 물질이었다. Phenol-sulfuric acid, ninhydrin, silvernitrate-sodium hydroxide 반응은 양성이었으나, DNS 반응에서는 음성이며 자외선 조사하에서 형광을 나타내었다. 저해물질의 구성성분은 fructose와 aspartic acid로 확인되었으며 분자량이 약 1,050 정도였다.
