남미지역에 서식하는 Tabebuia avellanedae의 수피에서 동정된 천연 quinone계 물질인 $\beta$-lapachone은 DNA topoisomerase I 억제제 이외 다양한 약리학적 기능이 있을 것으로 추정되지만 그 기능이 명확하지 않다. $\beta$-lapachone의 생리활성 기전 해석의 일환으로 본 연구에서는 인체 전립선 DU-145 암세포주의 성장에 미치는 $\beta$-lapachone의 영향을 조사하였다. p-lapachone이 함유된 배지에서 자란 암세포들은 $\beta$-lapachone 처리 농도 의존적으로 성장이 억제되었으며, 이는 apoptosis가 유발된 세포에서 특징적으로 관찰되는 chromatin condensation 및 DNA fragmentation 현상을 유발하였고, DNA flow cytometry 분석결과 apoptotic-sub Gl기에 해당하는 세포들의 빈도도 증가되었다. 또한 poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 및 $\beta$-catenin 단백질의 발현에서도 apoptosis 유발 특이적인 분해 현상을 보여주었으며, DU-145 전립선 암세포에서 $\beta$-lapachone에 의한 이러한 apoptosis의 유발에는 Bax의 발현증가에 따른 Bcl-2 발현의 감소가 중요한 역할을 할 고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

$\beta$-Glucan 분해효소의 간편하며 예민한 활성도 측정방법으로 $\beta$-glucan에 색소와 cross linking agent를 접합시키는 변형기질 제조시 영향을 미치는 조건을 조사하고 맥아와 세균의 $\beta$-glucan분해효소 측정에 적응시켜 활성도를 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1.0g $\beta$-glucan은 0.1N NaOH용액에서 색소 cibacron blue 3 G-A 1.5g과 cross linking agent인 1,4-butanedioldiglycidyl ether 1.25 $m\ell$을 90분간 끓여서 색소 접합기질로 제조하였을 때 $\beta$-glucanase 활성도 측정에 최적조건이었다. 변형기질은 pH5.3 에서 안정성을 보였으며 Bacillus subtilis K-4-3에서 추출한 효소액에 변형기질을 반응시켰을 때 간편하고 정확한 효소활성 측정이 가능하였다. 또한 색소방법을 DNS방법과 비교한 결과 색소방법이 $\beta$-glucan 분해효소 측정에 적당한 방법이었음이 입증되었다.

Amyloid plaque is a product of aggregation of ${\beta}$-amyloid peptide ($A{\beta}$) and is an important factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). $A{\beta}$ is a major component of amyloid plaque and vascular deposits in the AD brain. The enzyme ${\beta}$-secretase is required for the production of $A{\beta}$; thus, prevention of the formation of $A{\beta}$ through the inhibition of ${\beta}$-secretase is a major focus in the study of the treatment of AD. In this study, we investigated ${\beta}$-secretase inhibitory activity of an Arctoscopus japonicus peptide. An Alcalase hydrolysate had the highest ${\beta}$-secretase inhibitory activity. A ${\beta}$-secretase inhibitory activity peptide was separated using ion exchange column chromatography (carboxy-methyl: CM, quaternary methyl ammonium: QMA) and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) on a C18 column. The $IC_{50}$ value of the purified peptide was $248.2{\pm}1.73{\mu}g/mL$. The ${\beta}$-secretase inhibitory peptide was identified as a six amino acid residue of Gly-Pro-Val-Gly-Ala-Pro (MW: 497.27 Da). In cell viability experiments, the final purified fraction, the carboxy-methyl ion exchange column fraction (CM-F1) showed no significant cytotoxic effect in SH-SY5Y cells at concentrations below $100{\mu}g/mL$ in 24 h. The results of this study suggest that peptides separated from Arctoscopus japonicus may be beneficial as ${\beta}$-secretase inhibitor compounds in functional foods.

For any nonzero elements x, y in a normed space X, the angular and skew-angular distance is respectively defined by ${\alpha}[x,y]={\parallel}{\frac{x}{{\parallel}x{\parallel}}}-{\frac{y}{{\parallel}y{\parallel}}}{\parallel}$ and ${\beta}[x,y]={\parallel}{\frac{x}{{\parallel}y{\parallel}}}-{\frac{y}{{\parallel}x{\parallel}}}{\parallel}$. Also inequality ${\alpha}{\leq}{\beta}$ characterizes inner product spaces. Operator version of ${\alpha}$ has been studied by $ Pe{\check{c}}ari{\acute{c}}$, $ Raji{\acute{c}}$, and Saito, Tominaga, and Zou et al. In this paper, we study the operator version of ${\beta}$ by using Douglas' lemma. We also prove that the operator version of inequality ${\alpha}{\leq}{\beta}$ holds for commutating normal operators. Some examples are presented to show essentiality of these conditions.

The endoxylanase (642 bp; 213 amino acids) and ${\beta}-xylosidase$ (1,602 bp; 533 amino acids) genes from Bacillus sp. were amplified by PCR and separately inserted downstream of the yeast ADH1 promoters, resulting in the pAEDX-1 and pAEX plasmid. When the yeast transformants, S. cerevisiae SEY2102 harboring pAEDX-1 or pAEX, were grown on YPD medium, the total activities of the enzymes reached about 9.8 unit/mL for endoxylanase and 2.9 unit/mL for ${\beta}-xylosidase$. When the three kinds of xylan from oat spelts, birch wood, and corncob were hydrolyzed by treatment of recombinant endoxylanase and ${\beta}-xylosidase$, it was found that xylose, xylobiose and xylotriose were produced and xylose was the major product after 12 h reaction. In addition, with the higher amount of enzymes, the more amount of xylose was produced.

Both of the compounds showed cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines, A549, SK-MEL-2, COLO 205 and L1210.

This study was performed to investigate the influcence of various dietary fiber sources in Korea for activities of bacterial enzymes (${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase) and amounts of putrefactive product (indole) in aged rats. ${\beta}$-Glucosidase activity in the intestinal content was significantly lower in the seamustard 15% group than in other groups whereas the activity of ${\beta}$-glucuronidase was higher in the mugwort 15% group than other experimental groups. The amount of indole and pH in the intestinal content of aged rats were significantly lower in mugwort groups than in other groups.

Three flavonoid glycosides, $kaempferol-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1\;{\rightarrow}\;6)-{\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside$ or kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (1), $isorhamnetic-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(16)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ or isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside (2), and $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 ${\rightarrow}\;2)-{\beta}-L-arabinopyranoside$ 3, the latter one being a new compound, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Carrichtera annua. Mass spectrometry and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy allowed establishing the structure of these compounds.
