The antioxidant activities of water, ethanol, methanol, and chloroform extracts of Ulmus davidiana were evaluated using various antioxidant assays: DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pricrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging; hydroxyl radical scavenging; lipid peroxidation scavenging; and reducing power assays. All extracts, except the chloroform extract, demonstrated strong antioxidant activity in all assays. The chloroform extract had the highest hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and its activity was equivalent to $\alpha$-tocopherol at a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. Additionally, the antidiabetic activity of their extracts was also evaluated using a rat intestinal $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibition assay. Among all extracts investigated, the methanol extract had the highest $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, although its activity was less than acarbose at $0.5\;{\mu}g/mL$. This result suggested that U. davidiana extracts may have antidiabetic activity. Total phenolic compounds and flavonoids were also measured. Phenolic compounds such as tannic acid, p-coumatric acid, and kaempferol were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These results suggest that U. davidiana extracts may be useful as a potential source of antioxidant and antidiabetic materials.

We studied the total polyphenol content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition of water extracts from 17 medicinal plants. Total polyphenol contents ranged from 10.0 (Coix lachryma-jobi L, CL) ~ 279.7 (Perilla sikokiana, PS)mg/g. The water extract from medicinal plants were evaluated for its free radical scavenging activities and compared with a commercial antioxidant, ascorbic acid. DPPH radical scavenging activity of Pyrus pyrifolia (PP), Chamaecyparis obtusa L. (COL), Chamaecyparis obtusa F. (COF), and PS were higher than positive control. Higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were shown in Acanthopanax senticosus (AS) and Cordyceps militaris (CM) than the other plants. The highest anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was observed in Cornus officinalis (CO) and Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews (PSA) water extracts. PSA showed not only the higher DPPH radical scavenging activity but also the anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity. The results of our study that PP, COL, COF, PS, AS, CM, CO and PSA could be potential candidates for natural antioxidants.

Objectives : For the purpose of developing new anti-HIV agents from natural sources, the extracts of Ricinus communis were tested for their inhibitory effects on essential enzymes reverse transcriptase (RT), protease and alpha-glucosidase. Inhibition activity of major compounds of Ricinus communis were predicted from quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) in silico. Methods and Results : In the anti-HIV-1 RT using enzyme-linked oligonucleotide sorbent assay (ELOSA) method, water and methanol extracts (100ug/ml) of Ricinus communis showed strong activity of 94.2% and 82.7%, respectively. In the HIV-1 protease and alpha-glucosidase inhibition assay, neither water nor methanol extracts of Ricinus communis inhibited the activity of the enzyme to cleave any substrates as oligopeptides and oligosaccharides. Conclusions : We found that for these samples it is possible that the inhibition of the RT in vitro is due to the secondary metabolites of Ricinus communis such as ricinine and quercetin. It would beof great interest to identify the compounds which are responsible for this inhibition, since all therapeutically useful agents up to date are RT inhibitors.

Ethanol extracts from the edible mushroom hinmogi (Tremella fuciformis, TF) were used in the investigation of effects on $\alpha$-glucosidase in vitro and on glucose-uptake in 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes. Addition of the extract significantly inhibited $\alpha$-glucosidase from small intestine of porcine and of rat (about 42 and 35% of control, respectively), and stimulated glucose uptake (about 100% of control), of which activity was higher than that of maitake (Grifola frondosa) X-fraction, a well known anti-diabetic substance. When the ethanol extracts were further partitioned successively by organic solvents and purified by silica gel chromatography, the non-polar layer (F-7) from hexane layer showed highest stimulatory activity of glucose-uptake among layers tested. The major components of the F-7 were 1-monooleoylglycerol and 1-monopalmitoylglycerol. Our report is the first description of TF with stimulatory activity of glucose-uptake. These results suggest that TF extracts may constitute a new source of glucose transport activator and could be employed as a potential anti-diabetic material for treatment and preventing diabetes.

Among 38 Vietnamese medicinal plant extracts investigated for their ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, 35 extracts showed $IC_{50}$ values below $250{\mu}g/mL$. The MeOH extracts of the heartwood of Oroxylum indicum, the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan, and the fruits of Xanthium strumarium exhibited strong ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ values less than $50{\mu}g/mL$. Fractionation of the MeOH extract of the heartwood of O. indicum led to the isolation of oroxylin A (1), oroxyloside (2), hispidulin (3), apigenin (4), ficusal (5), balanophonin (6), 2- (1-hydroxymethylethyl)-4H,9H-naphtho[2,3-b]furan-4,9-dione (7), salicylic acid (8), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (9), protocatechuic acid (10), isovanillin (11), and ${\beta}$-hydroxypropiovanillon (12). Compounds 1 - 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 showed more potent activities, with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from 2.13 to $133.51{\mu}M$, than a positive control acabose ($IC_{50}$, $241.85{\mu}M$). The kinetic study indicated that oroxyloside (2) displayed mixed-type inhibition with inhibition constant (Ki) was $3.56{\mu}M$.

The aim of this study was to compare the quality and physicochemical characteristics of blue-shelled eggs (BE) and conventional eggs (CE). Proximate composition, quality, pH value, shell color, collagen content, fatty acid composition, total cholesterol, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity, and antioxidation activity were determined. The proximate composition, general qualities, and pH values of CE and BE showed no significant differences, except in moisture composition, weight, and shell thickness. Moisture content and weight of BE were significantly lower than those of CE. However, shell thickness and weight of BE were higher than those of CE (p<0.05). Lightness of BE was significantly higher than that of CE (85.20 vs. 58.80), while redness ($a^*$) and yellowness ($b^*$) of BE were lower than those of CE ($a^*$: -4.75 vs. 14.20; $b*$: 10.45 vs. 30.63). The fatty acid [C18:1n7 (cis-vaccenic acid) and C18:3n6 (gamma-linolenic acid)] contents of BE were significantly higher than those of CE. The total cholesterol contents of BE and CE were similar. DPPH radical scavenging activity of BE was significantly higher than that of CE (40.78 vs. 35.35). Interestingly, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity of whole egg and egg yolk in BE (19.27 and 36.06) was significantly higher than that of whole egg and egg yolk in CE (13.95 and 32.46). This result indicated that BE could potentially be used as a functional food material. Further studies are required to evaluate the specific compounds that affect functional activity.

해양생물 유래 기능성 소재 개발 연구의 일환으로, 국내 자생하는 감태 외 9종(곰피, 대황, 매생이, 모자반, 미역, 지충이, 청각, 톳, 파래)의 해조류을 이용하여 열수 및 에탄올 추출물을 제조하여 추출물의 항산화 활성 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 조사하였다. 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량은 대황 에탄올 추출물에서 각각 150.81, 77.02 mg/g으로 가장 많았다. DPPH radical 소거능은 대황, 감태, 지충이 에탄올 추출물이 각각 86.26, 78.72, 68.32%를 나타내었으며, ABTS radical 소거능은 대황, 감태, 지충이 열수 및 에탄올 추출물에서 모두 99% 이상의 높은 활성을 나타내었다. SOD 유사활성과 환원력은 대황 에탄올 추출물이 21.34%, 1.710($OD_{700}$)으로 가장 높았으며, 지방산패억제능도 대황 에탄올 추출물에서 83.95%로 가장 높았다. 또한, 해조류 추출물의 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성은 대황, 감태, 지충이 열수 추출물에서 97.75, 95.17, 87.13%를 나타내었으며, 에탄올 추출물에서는 3종류 모두 약 98%의 높은 저해활성을 나타내었다. 해조류 중 대황, 감태, 지충이의 항산화 활성 및 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성이 우수하여 천연 기능성 소재 개발을 위한 좋은 원료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 기능성소재로 사용하기 위하여 적용할 제품에 따라 추출물의 재료, 첨가농도, 제품의 생리활성 등과 관련된 광범위한 연구가 요구된다.
