Resveratrol, which is both a phytoalexin with antifungal activity and a phytochemical associated with reduced cancer risk and reduced cardiovascular disease, is synthesized in a limited number of plant species including peanut. Resveratrol synthesis is catalyzed by the enzyme stilbene synthase including resveratrol synthase (RS). Resveratrol synthase gene (RS3) obtained from peanut, Arachis hypogaea, Fabaceae has been transferred into chinese foxglove, Rehmannia glutinosa by using Agrobacterium mediated transformation. RS t-DNA introduced to chinese foxglove (R. glutinosa L) by transformation and its reaction product, $resveratrol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ was isolated and characterized using HPLC. Also its biological effects was tested in inhibition of the lipid peroxidation of mouse LDL by glycosylated stilbenes derivatives obtained from transgenic plants. $Resveratrol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ isolated from transgenic R. glutinosa L. showed antimicrobial activity of the growth inhibition zone against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Therefore, this compound can be contributed to be useful as a phytoalexin for plant health as well as a phytochemical for human health.

레스베라트롤의 면역제어 성질과 대식세포의 생존능력과 관련하여 당화된 레스베라트롤의 효과를 확인하기 위해 대식세포 RAW 264.7에서 연구하였다. 인비토로에서 대식세포에서 총 4개의 레스베라트롤 및 당화된 유도체 (E)-resveratrol, (E)-resveratrol 3-O-${\beta}$-${\small{D}}$-glucoside (R-3-G), 및 (E)-resveratrol 4'-O-${\beta}$-${\small{D}}$-glucoside (R-4'-G)를 여러 가지 농도로 처리한 후 일산화질소 (NO)와 인터루킨 6 (IL-6) 발현을 연구하였다. 앞서 언급한 물질로 처리한 후 인비토로에서 RAW 264.7 세포의 생존능력도 연구하였다. 대식세포 생존능력 평가분석 결과를 보면, 두 개의 레스베라트롤 모노글루코사이드인 R-3-G와 R-4'-G은 (E)-resveratrol와 비교하여 A549 and HepG2 세포에서 50-80% 감소된 독성을 보여준다. 당이 없는 레스베라트롤과 비교하면, 당화된 레스베라트 유도체는 긍정적으로 전사적으로 IL-6 및 iNOS 발현이 높아지는 방향으로 NO 및 대식세포에서 IL-6의 생산이 조절된다. 레스베라트롤의 당의 역할은 RAW 264.7 세포의 생존능력과 레스베라트롤의 면역제어 활성을 증가시켜 주는 것으로 보여주고 있다.

Four functional constituents, oxyresveratrol 3'-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (ORTG), oxyresveratrol (ORT), t-resveratrol (RT), and moracin (MC) were isolated from the ethanolic extract of mulberry (Morus alba L.) twigs by a series of isolation procedures, including solvent fractionation, and silica-gel, ODS-A, and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies. Their chemical structures were identified by NMR and FABMS spectral analysis. Quantitative changes of four phytochemicals in mulberry twigs were determined by HPLC according to cultivar, producing area, and heat processing. ORTG was a major abundant compound in the mulberry twigs, and its levels ranged from 23.7 to 105.5 mg% in six different mulberry cultivars. Three other compounds were present in trace amounts (<1 mg/100 g) or were not detected. Among mulberry cultivars examined, "Yongcheon" showed the highest level of ORTG, whereas "Somok" had the least ORTG content. Levels of four phytochemicals in the mulberry twigs harvested in early September were higher than those harvested in early July. Levels of ORTG and ORT in the "Cheongil" mulberry twigs produced in the Uljin area were higher than those produced in other areas. Generally, levels of ORTG and ORT in mulberry twigs decreased with heat processing, such as steaming, and microwaving except roasting, whereas those of RT and MC did not considerably vary according to heat processing. These results suggest that the roasted mulberry twigs may be useful as potential sources of functional ingredients and foods.
