Background: Owing to its high efficiency in lipid and protein production, peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is considered one of most important crops world-wide. The kernels of peanuts are undoubtedly the most important product this plant, whereas the skin is almost completely neglected in nutraceutical terms. However, peanut skin contains potentially health-promoting phenolics and dietary fiber, and there is considerable potential for commercial exploitation. In this study, we evaluated the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of an extract of peanut skin (PS). Methods and Results: The α-glucosidase inhibitory effects of 80% ethanol extracts of peanut (A. hypogaea L. 'Sinpalkwang') skin were evaluated and found to have a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) value of 1.2 ㎍/㎖. Progress curves for enzyme reactions were recorded spectrophotometrically, and the inhibition kinetics revealed time-dependent inhibition with enzyme isomerization. Furthermore, using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry, we identified 26 compounds in the peanut skin extract, namely, catechin, epicatechin, and 24 proanthocyanidins. Conclusions: The results suggest that peanut skin can be utilized as an effective source of α-glucosidase inhibition in functional foods and nutraceuticals.

Methylelaiophylin isolated from Streptomyces melanosporofaciens was selected as an ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor with an $IC_{50}$ value of 10 ${\mu}M$. It showed mixed-type inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase with a $K_i$ value of 5.94 ${\mu}M$. In addition, methylelaiophylin inhibited the intracellular trafficking of hemagglutinin-neuramidase (HN), a glycoprotein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. Methylelaiophylin inhibited the cell surface expression of NDV-HN glycoprotein without significantly affecting HN glycoprotein synthesis in NDV-infected BHK cells.

본 연구는 항산화 활성 및 항당뇨 효과가 있는 조각자 추출물인 GSM (methanol 추출물)과 GSE (ethanol 추출물)에 대한 연구이다. 추출 용매에 대한 페놀 함량을 측정한 결과 100 g 당 GSM에서는 1.12 g이며, GSE에서는 0.6 g으로 GSM에서 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능의 경우 최대 농도 1,000 ${\mu}g$/ml에서 확인한 결과 GSM에서는 68.8% 그리고 GSE에서는 70.4%로 두 종류 추출물에서 높은 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. DNA 손상 정도를 확인한 comet assay에서도 200 ${\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$에 의해 나타나는 DNA 손상에 대하여 GSM과 GSE는 DNA를 보호하는 활성이 있었다. 항당뇨 효과를 알아보는 $\alpha$-glucosidase 억제 실험에서 GSM은 17.9%, GSE는 10.3%이었으며, 처리시간을 증가하였을 경우에는 그 억제 정도가 GSM의 경우 25%이며, GSE의 경우 20%로 증가하여 항당뇨 효과가 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과로부터 당뇨병 치료에 대한 새로운 소재로써 조각자 추출물의 가능성을 확인하였다.

This study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of Gynura procumbens extract against carbohydrate digesting enzymes and its ability to ameliorate postprandial hyperglycemia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. G. procumbens extract showed prominent ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory effects. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of G. procumbens extract against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase was $0.092{\pm}0.018$ and $0.084{\pm}0.027mg/mL$, respectively, suggesting that the ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibition activity of the G. procumbens extract was more effective than that of the positive control, acarbose ($IC_{50}=0.164mg/mL$). The increase in postprandial blood glucose levels was more significantly alleviated in the G. procumbens extract group than in the control group of STZ-induced diabetic mice. Moreover, the area under the curve significantly decreased with G. procumbens extract administration in STZ-induced diabetic mice. These results suggest that G. procumbens extract may help alleviate postprandial hyperglycemia by inhibiting carbohydrate digesting enzymes.

본 연구에서는 동해안에서 채집된 88종의 해조류에 대하여 미백제로서 응용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 멜라닌 생성에 미치는 영향을 in vitro 실험을 통해 알아보았다. Melan-a 세포에 해조류 추출물을 처리하여 멜라닌 양을 측정한 결과, 고리매, 미역쇠, 왜모자반, 감태, 톳추출물에서 멜라닌 생성이 감소되었으며, 특히 미역쇠추출물을 처리하였을 때 가장 유효하게 농도의존적으로 멜라닌 생성이 감소되었다. 멜라닌 생성 억제 효과가 tyrosinase 활성 저해와 관련 있는지를 확인한 결과, 약한 활성을 가지지만 직접 작용하여 활성을 저해하지는 않으면서, 세포 내의 tyrosinase 활성을 농도의존적으로 저해하였다. 이는 세포 내 tyrosinase 활성저해가 직접적이 아닌 다른 기전에 의해 일어난다는 것을 의미하며, 그 기전 중의 하나인 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase활성을 측정한 결과 농도의존적으로 활성을 저해하였으며, 세포 내 tyrosinase 활성 저해와 높은 상관도를 보임을 확인하였다. 즉 미역쇠추출물은 N-linked glycoprotein인 tyrosinase의 glycosylation을 억제하여 tyrosinase의 세포 내 이동이나 활성을 억제할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 미역쇠추출물은 피부 미백에 유효한 활성을 나타내는 천연 유용자원으로 활용할 가치가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

It was proved that both ethanol extracts from Mori Folium from Kangwon do and silk worm had higher inhibition acitivity on $\alpha$-glucohydrolase than the water extracts. In adding above 8.5 (mg/L) of silkworm extracts, the inhibition rate on $\alpha$-1,4 glucosidase was saturated while the inhibition rate was continuously increased in adding the extracts from Moli Folium. It was also found that the diethyl ether fraction showed much better inhibition activity than water fraction from ethanol extracts, yielding ca. 85% of inhibition rate for the extract of Moli Folium, compared to 91% for a commercially available hypoglycemic drug, Chloropropamide. In separating the diethyl ether fractions by Consecutive Sephadex gel filtration and Thin layer chromatography, three and four active spots were obtained from Moli Folium and silkworm, respectively. It is interesting that the similar Rf spots from both species among several spots in TLC have the highest inhibition acitivity on a target enzyme, which can imply that the active substances from both species are same or similar molecular weight and structure. Glucose-lowering activities of both speciese were also examined in vivo, showing that the fraction from Moli Folium had better activity than that from silkworm, and its activity was similar to that of a commercial drug.

We examined the effects of biological activity Phellinus linteus mycelium culture with cassiae semen extract. Firstly, the optimal temperature, initial pH and culture period for mycelial growth in a liquid culture of P. linteus were determined, and they were $30^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0 and 8 days respectively. The five herbal materials were examined against several health functional efficacies, and, as a result, Cassiae semen was chosen, with its superior inhibitory effects in ${\beta}$-glucuronidase inhibitory activity, electron donating activity, ACE inhibitory, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities(95.3%, 80.9%, 96.1 and 24.2%, respectively). P. linteus fruit body was investigated on ${\beta}$-glucuronidase inhibitory activity, electron donating activity, ACE inhibitory, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and they were 54.7%, 81.9%, 30.0% and 20.1%, respectively. Accordingly, C. semen was used in the following experiment, to give an additive functional effect on the P. linteus. As the amount of C. semen in the cultural media increased, mycelial weight and ${\beta}$-glucan contents also increased, but final pH was not influenced. In addition, the ${\beta}$-glucuronidase inhibitory activity, electron donating activity, and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity increased. P. linteus mycelium culture showed higher activities in the other three tests above, except for electron donating activity, when C. semen was added to the medium before cultivation.

Chana series are new chalcone derivatives. To evaluate the possibility of Chana series as therapeutic agents of type 2 diabetes, the inhibitory effects of Chana series on the activities of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and DPP-4 were investigated using in vitro enzyme assays, and their effects on adipocyte differentiation were investigated in C3H10T1/2 cells. Chana 1 and Chana 7 among the Chana series showed significant inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity. In DPP-4 enzyme assay, Chana 1 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity while Chana 7 did not. In MTT assay, Chana 1 did not show significant cytotoxicity up to a concentration of $250{\mu}M$, whereas cytotoxicity was observed with Chana 7 at a concentration of $300{\mu}M$. In addition, Chana 1 induced adipocyte differentiation. Therefore, Chana 1 showed inhibitory effects on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and DPP-4 as well as a stimulatory effect on adipocyte differentiation, suggesting that Chana 1 may be a potential beneficial agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
