An ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was developed from Aspergillus oryzae N159-1, which was screened from traditional fermented Korean foods. The intracellular concentration of the inhibitor reached its highest level when the fungus was cultured in tryptic soy broth medium at $27^{\circ}C$ for five days. The inhibitor was purified using a series of purification steps involving ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-25 gel permeation chromatography, strong cation exchange solid phase extraction, reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography. The final yield of the purification was 1.9%. Results of the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis indicated that the purified ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was a tri-peptide, Pro-Phe-Pro, with the molecular weight of 360.1 Da. The IC50 value of the peptide against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was 3.1 mg/mL. Using Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis, the inhibition pattern indicated that the inhibitor acts as a mixed type inhibitor.

본 연구에서는 제지 슬러지를 이용한 SSF 공정에 L..paracasei KLB58을 적용하여 젖산과 더불어 생균제용 균체를 경제적으로 대량 생산하고자 하였다. KLB58의 배양온도와 섬유소 가수분해 효소인 $\beta$-glucosidase의 농도를 조절하여 최적의 생산 조건을 확인해 본 결과, 37$^{\circ}C$ 에서 2 unit/ml의 $\beta$-glucosidase를 첨가하여 배양하였을 때 최대의 젖산과 균체를 생산하였다. 또한 $\beta$-glucosidase를 포함하지 않아도 상대적으로 많은 양의 젖산과 균체를 생산하였으므로, 이에 대한향후 연구가 기대된다.

A yellow resin (gamboge) from Garcinia hanburyi has been widely used as folk medicine due to its antibacterial and antitumor activities. We isolated four ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory compounds from the methanol extract of gamboge. The compounds (1-4) were identified as gambogoic acid (1), moreollic acid (2), gambogic acid (3), and 10-methoxygambogenic acid (4), respectively through spectroscopic data including 2D-NMR and HREIMS. All compounds were examined in the enzyme inhibition assay against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase to identify their inhibitory potencies and kinetic behavior. All compounds (1-4) showed enzyme inhibition against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, but the activity was significantly affected by the methoxy group on C-10 of ring A and pentenyl pyran moiety of ring D. For example, compound 1 ($IC_{50}=41.4{\mu}M$) bearing pyran ring eight times effective that 4 ($IC_{50}=350.6{\mu}M$) having geranyl group itself. Most active compound was found out to be gambogoic acid (1) which was analyzed most abundant metabolite in gamboge by LC-ESI-MS/MS. In kinetic study, compounds 1 and 2 were proved as noncompetitive inhibitors.

The control of intestinal α-amylase and α-glucosidase is an effective therapeutic strategy for prevention of post-prandial hyperglycemia associated with diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-diabetes activities of Korean edible seaweed against α-amylase and α-glucosidase, two carbolytic enzymes involved in serum glucose regulation. Of the 41 species initially screened, Cladophora wrightiana var. minor, Eisenia bicyclis, Ecklonia cava, Ishige foliacea, and Ishige okamurae exhibited the strongest inhibitory activities from brown seaweeds. Asparagopsis taxiformis showed the strongest inhibitory effects from red seaweeds. The results of this study suggest that the crude brown seaweed extracts (C. wrightiana var. minor, E. bicyclis, E. cava, I. foliacea, and I. okamurae) and crude red seaweed extracts (A. taxiformis) may have beneficial effects suppressing the rise in postprandial hyperglycemia through the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the inhibitory effects of extracts from Bombyx batryticatus (BBE) and Bombyx mori (BME) on α-glucosidase, DPP-4, and LDL oxidation activities, focusing on their potential applications in managing postprandial hyperglycemia and metabolic syndrome. The results demonstrated that both BBE and BME effectively inhibited α-glucosidase and LDL oxidation, with BBE exhibiting higher inhibitory activity than BME. HPLC analysis identified linolenic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid ethyl ester, pheophorbide a, and pyropheophorbide a as key compounds contributing to these effects. Notably, the identified unsaturated fatty acids and pheophorbides showed strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, surpassing that of acarbose, a standard diabetic drug. These results suggest that, in addition to the previously reported 1-DNJ and fibroin proteins, unsaturated fatty acids and chlorophyll-derived pheophorbides may play significant roles in glycemic control. Compounds, particularly those from BBE, present promising opportunities for the development of natural therapeutic agents for diabetes management. The study concludes that BBE and BME have strong potential as functional ingredients in future diabetes treatment strategies, possibly offering enhanced efficacy over conventional inhibitors.

본 연구에서는 유전적으로 제2형 당뇨를 가진 Goto-Kakizaki 흰쥐의 간 세포액에 함유된 당 이용 대사 관련 주요 효소인 glucokinase(GK)와 acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC)에 약용 식물 물 추출물들이 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. $\alpha$-Glucosidase 저해제는 제2형 당뇨 치료와 예방을 위해 사용되어져 오고 있다. 따라서 약용식물 물 추출물들의 $\alpha$-glucosidase 저해 활성을 알아보았다. Goto-Kakizaki 흰쥐의 간 세포액 분획물을 GK과 ACC 활성을 알아보기 위해 사용하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 약용 식물들은 Lycium chinense(JGP), Discorea japonica Thunb.(SY), Pyrus pyrifolia(YSB), Cornus officinalis(SSY), Paeonia suffruticosa ANDR.(MDP), Cordyceps militaris(DCH) 그리고 Acanthopanax senticosus(GSO)였다. 지골피(JGP), 산약(SY), 야생배(YSB) 그리고 산수유(SSY) 물 추출물들은 GK 활성을 증가시켰고, 실험에 사용된 모든 약용식물 물추출물들은 간 ACC 활성을 증가시켰다. 야생배(YSB), 산수유(SSY), 목단피(MDP) 그리고 가시오가피(GSO) 물 추출물들은 대조군보다 현저히 높은 $\alpha$-glucosidase 활성 억제를 보여주었다. $\alpha$-Glucosidase 활성을 가장 억제시킨 것은 GSO 물 추출물이었고, 그 억제율은 $\alpha$-glucosidase 치료제인 acarbose보다 높았다. 따라서 제2형 당뇨에서 지골피 (JGP), 산약(SY), 야생배(YSB) 그리고 산수유(SSY) 물 추출물들은 글루코스 대사과정을 활성화시켜 항당뇨 효과를 나타내는 천연 소재일 것으로 생각되고 야생배(YBS), 목단피(MDP) 그리고 가시오가피(GSO)는 천연 $\alpha$-glucosidase 저해제로써 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 약용식물 물 추출물에 의한 증가된 ACC 활성은 더해진 항당뇨 효과를 나타낼 것이다.

$\alpha$-Glucosidase contributing $\alpha$-glucan metabolism in microorganisms is characterized by the variety in substrate recognition. Recent studies on microbial enzymes show that $\alpha$-glucosidases are divided into two groups, family I and family n, in which family I enzymes have four conserved catalytic-regions of $\alpha$-amylase family. The presentation focusing on the difference of the $\alpha$-glucosidase families reviews i) the catalytic amino-acid residues of nucleophile and acid/base catalyst, and ii) the molecular evolution of two families.

The fungi SFN 416 strain which produced a stable beta-glucosidase was isolated from nature and identified to Aspergillus niger. Optimal conditions of enzyme reaction were temperature 36C, pH-5.0, reaction time-40 minutes. The enzyme was stable below 60C and in the range of pH 4.5-6.5. The enzyme was greatly inhibitied by Ag+ and slightly activated by Ca2+ (0.5mM) and Cu2+ (5 mM).

Various parameters such as solvent selection, concentration, solid/liquid ratio, soaking time, temperature, stationary, shaking conditions, and repeated extractions were investigated in order to determine the optimum extraction conditions of ${\beta}$-glucosidase from bagasse fermented by mixed culture of Aspergillus niger NRC 7A and Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 447. Among various solvents tested, non ionic detergents gave the best results than the inorganic or organic salt solutions and distilled water. The optimum conditions for extraction of ${\beta}$-glucosidase were 30 min soaking time at $40^{\circ}C$ under shaking condition at 150 rpm, with solid/liquid ratio 1:15 (w/v), which yielded $2882.74{\pm}95.52U/g$ fermented culture (g fc) of enzyme activity. With repeated washes under the above optimum conditions, the results showed that enzyme extracted in the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ washes represents about 90% of the total activity.
