Recently, the researches to discovery drug candidates from natural herbs have received considerable attention. In human body, enzyme mostly metabolize the compounds of natural herbs. In this study, we analysis the enzyme interactions using assoication mining. We get this data from BRENDA(: BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase) system. Based on enzyme interaction model, we divide the metabolites into substrate metabolites, product metabolites, inhibitor metabolites, and activating metabolites. We then compose substrate metabolite transaction, product metabolite transaction with each metabolites and enzyme interaction transaction with all metabolites. Also we take account of organism for each transactions. We mine frequent metabolites and patterns from six transactions using association rule mining. And we analysis the relationship among metabolites. As a result, we identify the distributions and patterns of metabolites consist in enzyme interactions. We found that metabolites include in only substrate are identified and have very low supports. This results can be useful to develop the effective metabolism prediction model for compounds of natural herbs.

A bioconcentration experiment was performed for killifish using nonradioactive and radioactive butachlor. At 0.036 ppm concentration, the highest bioconcentration ratio $(C_f/C_w)$ and BCF at steady state recorded as 296 and 87 respectively. And at 0.0036 ppm concentration, the highest $C_f/C_w$ ratio was 169 and the BCF was 51 at steady state. Considering the experimental variation of the BCF's, the BCF of butachlor was tentatively determined to be $69{\pm}28$. And the $^{14}C-butachlor$ and its metabolites depurated about 50% within 12 hours and 90% within 30 hours after depuration experiment started. And in vivo metabolites, designated as M-I, M-II, and M-III, were found in killifish and the excretes as butachlor was metabolised.

Background:It has been suggested that the cyclooxygenase metabolites play an important role in changes of early hemodynamic parameters in the endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. But there have been many debates about their role in the late increase of alveolar-capillary permeability, and it is not known whether they act directly or indirectly through oxygen free radicals which have been known to be produced during the metabolic process of cyclooxygenase pathway. So we performed this study to identify the pathogenetic role of cyclooxygenase metabolites in the endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in domestic pigs. Method: We infused endotoxin into 8 domestic pigs; endotoxin only (n=3), and pretreatment with indomethacin (n=5). We observed the sequential changes in hemodynamic parameters, the concentration of plasma oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in pulmonary arterial and venous blood, and albumin content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Results: 1) While cardiac output decreased, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and alveolar-arterial oxygen difference increased over phase 1 (0-2hr) and phase 2 (2-4.5hr) by endotoxin, indomethacin attenuated the decrease in cardiac output during phase 1 and increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and alveolar-arterial oxygen difference during both phases. 2) The increase in plasma GSSG content during phase 2 was not attenuated by indomethacin. 3) The content of BALF albumin was significantly lower in indomethacin groups than that of endotoxin group. Conclusion: These results suggest that it is likely that cyclooxygenase metabolites have an effect on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury during both phases probably through direct action.

Marine-derived microbes have yielded a variety of metabolites so far. In the course of the project to find metabolites from marine microbes, an isolate of Aspergillus protuberus (SF 5767) was selected for chemical investigation. A large scale culture of this strain in PDA media was extracted with an organic solvent and the extract was fractionated by silica gel column chromatography. Repeated reverse phase HPLC of the fractions led to the isolation of three metabolites. Their chemical structures were elucidated as deoxybrevianamide E (1), brevianamide V (2), and ergosterol peroxide (3) on the basis of spectroscopic data including MS, NMR, and UV. To the best of our knowledge, chemical investigation of A. protuberus was conducted for the first time in this study.

We investigated the anti-obesity effect of Gelidium elegans extract (GE) on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and a high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced mouse model. The results of the present study demonstrated that GE prevents weight gain induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) by modulating the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-PR domain-containing 16 (PRDM16)-uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) pathway in a mice model. Moreover, in vitro results show that GE suppressed adipocyte differentiation by modulating adipogenic regulators, stimulated lipolysis by activating ATGL, and inhibited adipogenesis by downregulating various enzymes associated with triglyceride synthesis. GE was also found to upregulate AMPK phosphorylation as well as the expression of UCP1 and PRDM16 proteins, leading to measurable changes in the beige-like phenotype differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. Taken together, these findings suggest the role of GE as a functional food ingredient extracted from Gelidium elegans to increase energy expenditure and anti-obesity efficacy.

Glycyrrhizin은 감초의 주성분으로 많은 생리활성을 나타내는 성분이다. 감초를 복용하게 되면, 글리시리진은 장내에 서식하고 있는 장내세균에 의해 glycyrrhetic acid로 대사된다. 하지만, 지금까지 대사반응에 관여하고 있는 균주가 분리 후 자원화되지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 사람의 대변으로부터 glycyrrhizin을 대사하는 균주로 분리된 strain GLY의 16S rRNA 유전자를 분석한 결과, Enterococcus faecium과 99%의 상동성을 보여, Enterococcus faecium GLY (Genebank No. MH048988)로 명명하였다. 대사활성의 특성을 검토하기 위하여 time course, 기질의 농도에 따른 대사활성의 변화, 근연 균주와 대사활성 비교를 실시하였다. Time course 실험에서 GLY균주가 증식함에 따라 기질인 glycyrrhizin은 줄어들고, 대사산물인 glycyrrhetic acid는 새로 생성되었다. 또한, 기질의 농도에 따른 대사활성의 차이 검토를 위해 여러 농도를 처리하여 배양하였을 때, 1.0mM을 처리한 샘플에서 최대값의 대사물 농도를 보였다. Enterococcus faecium와의 근연균주를 이용하여 glycyrrhizin 대사활성을 측정한 결과, strain GLY 균주가 가장 큰 대사능을 가지고 있었다. 본 연구는 앞으로 glycyrrhizin 생체이용 및 대사 연구를 위한 기초연구가 될 것이며, 장내세균에 의한 생약성분의 대사를 이해하는데 도움이 될 수 있다.

해바라기를 주원료로 한 복합조성물인 해바톤(HYE-BATON, (주) 새벽을여는사람들)의 면역활성 증진효과와 당뇨 및 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 시험관 내에서 HYEBATON을 첨가하여 먼역세포를 배양한 결과 면역세포가 현저하게 활성화되었다. 생쥐에 HYEBATON을 투여한 결과 세포 매개성 면역반응이 증진되었으며, 암세포 이식 생쥐에서 종양의 생장을 억제시켜 생존기간을 연장시키는 경향을 보였다. 또한, HYEBATON이 혈당과 지질 대사에 미치는 영향을 흰쥐에서 살펴보았다. 쥐를 정상식이군, streptozotocin (STZ) 투여에 의한 당뇨군, 고지방식이군으로 나누어 HYEBATON을 7주간 투여하였다. 경구포도당 내성 검사에서 HYEBATON은 당뇨군의 증가된 공복시 혈당을 감소시켰으며, 경구로 포도당을 투여 시에도 당뇨군의 혈당을 계속 낮게 유지시켰다. HYE-BATON 이 지질대사에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, HYE-BATON은 정상식이군, 당뇨군, 고지방 식이군의 혈중 및 간의 콜레스테롤과 지질의 양을 유의성 있게 감소시키거나 혹은 감소시키는 영향으 ?보였다. 한편, 시험관내 유전독성시험 및 생지의 급성독성시험에서 HYE-BATON은 안전한 것으로 평가되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 HYEBATON은 면역활성 증진효과 뿐만아니라 당뇨 쥐의 혈당 및 지질대사 개선효과를 보였으므로, 면역증징 및 당뇨와 지질대사 개선을 위한 기능성 식품으로서 활용이 기대된다.

The analytical method was established for simultaneous determination of fungicide prochloraz and its metabolites in several animal commodities using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with electron capture detector (ECD). Samples including beef meat, pork meat, chicken meat, milk, and egg were hydrolyzed with pyridine hydrochloride which converts prochloraz and its metabolites to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) because residue definition for prochloraz was 'sum of prochloraz and its metabolites containing the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol moiety, expressed as prochloraz', for compliance with MRLs from animal commodities. Therefore, residual prochloraz was extracted with acetone, decomposed to 2,4,6-TCP, partitioned with dichloromethane, purified with aminopropyl SPE and quantified as 2,4,6-TCP with GC-ECD. The instrumental limit of quantitation and method LOQ (MLOQ) was 0.01 ㎍/mL and 0.02 mg/kg for prochloraz and 0.005 ㎍/mL and 0.01 mg/kg for 2,4,6-TCP, respectively. The linearity of the calibration curve was good with R² >0.995 in the range of 0.005-0.2 ㎍/mL. Fortification levels of prochloraz were 0.02 mg/kg (MLOQ) and 0.2 mg/kg (10MLOQ) for recovery tests. Overall recoveries of prochloraz were >90% with <10% of coefficient variation (C.V.). This established analytical method was fully validated and could be useful for quantification of prochloraz and its metabolites in animal commodities as official analytical method.

Omeprazole의 약동학적 Parameter는 tmax를 제외하고 두 군간에 유의한 (p<0.001) 차이론 보였다 : AUC의 평균치는 5-mephenytoin hydroxylation poor metabol izer에서 extensive metabol izer에 비해 약 6-7배 컸다. Omeprazole sulfone의 parameter는 omeprazole에서 관찰된 두 군간의 차이와 유사하였다. 그러나 5-hydroxyomeprazole의 경우에는 Cmax, AUC 등이 extensive metabolizer에서 더컸다. Omeprazole의 청소율은 S-mephenytoin hydroxylation 대사능(MR)과 유의한 상잔관계(rs=0.79, p<0.01)를 보였으며, omeprazole과 그 대사물(5-hydroxyomeprazole 및 omeprazole sulfone)의 반감기 또한 S-mephenytoin hydroxylation 대사능과 유의한 상관성을 보였다.
