Diacetylene lipid monomers possess the capability to self-assemble into vesicles via polymerization under ultraviolet irradiation, resulting in the formation of polydiacetylene (PDA) liposomes. Exposure of the polymerized vesicles to external stimuli is known to induce a unique blue-to-red color transition. The cyclic oligosaccharide ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin known for its use in many applications, such as drug delivery, purification, and stimulus sensing, is able to form an inclusion complex with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in aqueous solution. In this study, we prepared polymeric liposomes with PEG (PEG-PDA) with the aim of improving the stability of the vesicles and colorimetric response toward ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin. We demonstrated that PEG-PDA liposome displays unique characteristics compared with native PDA liposome and it also shows apparent chromic properties of the inclusion complex formation with ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin.

Bacillus stearothermophilus의 mutant가 생산하는 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase)를 affinity chromatography법을 이용하여 정제하였다. 이 CGTase의 회수율은 95%이었고 specific activity는 26.2U/mg protein에서 485.5U/mg protein으로 증가하였다. 정제된 CGTase는 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동 결과 단일 band로 나타났다. CGTase는 affinity chromatography를 이용하여 one-step으로 정제할 수 있었다.

The characteristics of zipeprol-$\beta$-cyclodextrin system were studied by circular dichroism, competitive UV method and dialysis method. In this experiment, binding constants by competitive UV method, circular dichroism and dialysis method were 155 M$^{-1}$ 187 M$\^{-1}$/($\pm$ 5%) and 315 $^{-1}$, repectively. It shows that zipeprol forms 1:1 compelx with $\beta$-cyclodextrin by circular dichroism and 1:2 by dialysis method. pH profile shows that binding force seems to be a hydrophobic interaction. It is suggested that benzene ring be accomodated in the cavity of $\beta$-cyclodextrin.

The two-stage enzyme reactor, packed with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) immobilized on Amberite IRA 900, coupled with ultrafiltration membrane was investigated for continuous production of cyclodextrin (CD). 5% (w/v) of soluble starch was partially cyclized, in the 0.1 l first-stage immobilized enzyme reactor, up to CD conversion yield of 10% (w/w) at retention time of 0.56hr and 1.5 units of immobilized CGTase/1g of carrier. In the second stage main immobilized enzyme reactor capacity of 1.5 l, the maximum CD conversion yield of 39% (w/v) was achieved at retention time of 2.8hr and 0.47 unit of CGTase/1 g of carrier. Unreacted residual dextrin was fractionated with ultrafiltration membrane, and then, recycled into the second-stage main bioreactor to increase the CD conversion yield. The most suitable membrane size and the volume concentration ratio (concentrate: filterate) for recycling of unreacted residual dextrin were found to be 5K dalton and 4:6, respectively. CD conversion yield was increased about 3~4% upon co-immobilization of pulluanase along with CGTase. Spent Amberite IRA 900 can be reutilized consecutively more than 3 times for immobilization of CGTase after regeneration.

This research was to examine the effects of various cyclodextrins on the solubility and stability of prodigiosin in seawater. Among them, ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin was found to have the best efficiency and formation of the inclusion complex was saturated when prodigiosin and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin were mixed in a ratio of 1:8 and shaken at $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0 for 6 h. The maximum algicidal activity against Chattonella antiqua using the inclusion complex stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 5 weeks of culture was obtained, $52.28{\pm}3.41%$, which was about 5.0 fold higher than that of control. Our results suggest that inclusion complexes of prodigiosin and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin could serve as effective algicidal agents.

One of the methods to increase the solubility of a drug is to use complexation with a cyclodextrin. Due to the hydrophobic nature of the interior cavity of the cyclodextrin, it has been known that undissociated lipophilic drugs can be included within the cyclodextrin by hydrophobic interaction. Recently, inclusion of hydrophilic or dissociated form of a drug has been investigated. In this study, the synergism of pH and complexation with $hydroxypropy-{\beta}-cyclodextrin\;(HP\;{\beta}\;CD)$ to increase the solubility of two oxicam derivatives was investigated. In addition, the effect of partition coefficient of dissociated and undissociated form of the drug on the extent of complexation with HP ${\beta}$ CD was studied. The solubility was measured by equilibrium solubility method. The solubility of tenoxicam and piroxicam increased exponentially with an increase in solution pH above the pKa of the drug in the presence and absence of HP ${\beta}$ CD. The solubility of the drugs increased linearly as a function of HP ${\beta}CD$ concentration at fixed pH. Although the stability constant of ionized species is less than that of the unionized species, the concentration of the ionized drug complex is greater than that of the unionized drug complex due to higher concentration of ionized species at pH 7.3.

Background: Nowadays, the encapsulation of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents is attracting interest as a method for drug delivery. We hypothesized that the efficiency of helenalin might be maximized by encapsulation in ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin nanoparticles. Helenalin, with a hydrophobic structure obtained from flowers of Arnica chamissonis and Arnica Montana, has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity but low water solubility and bioavailability. ${\beta}$-Cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide comprising seven D-glucopyranoside units, linked through 1,4-glycosidic bonds. Materials and Methods: To test our hypothesis, we prepared ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin-helenalin complexes to determine their inhibitory effects on telomerase gene expression by real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) and cytotoxic effects by colorimetric cell viability (MTT) assay. Results: MTT assay showed that not only ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin has no cytotoxic effect on its own but also it demonstrated that ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin-helenalin complexes inhibited the growth of the T47D breast cancer cell line in a time and dose-dependent manner. Our q-PCR results showed that the expression of telomerase gene was effectively reduced as the concentration of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin-helenalin complexes increased. Conclusions: ${\beta}$-Cyclodextrin-helenalin complexes exerted cytotoxic effects on T47D cells through down-regulation of telomerase expression and by enhancing Helenalin uptake by cells. Therefore, ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin could be superior carrier for this kind of hydrophobic agent.

토양으로부터 역가높은 CGTase를 분비하는 호알칼리성 미생물을 분리하였으며, 동정 결과 Bacillus circulans로 판정되었다. 배양액 중의 CGTase를 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE-Sephadex 그리고 Sephadex G-100 column chromatography로 분리, 정제하여 단일 단백질 band를 얻었다. 정제된 CGTase의 분자량은 약 93,000, 최적 pH와 온도는 6.0, $50^{\circ}C$였으며, pH와 온도안정성은 5.5-11, $65^{\circ}C$까지였다. Soluble starch를 기질로 할 때의 $V_{max}$ 와 $K_{m}$ 값은 각각 0.16$\mu$mole $\beta$-CD/min, 14.3mg soluble starch/mi이였고 24시간 반응액의 $\alpha$-：$\beta$-:${\gamma}$-CD 의 생성비율은 1：8.1：1.9로서 $\beta$-CD를 우선적으로 합성하였다. 기질로 glucose와 maltose를 사용하였을 때 CD합성작용이 없었으며, sweet potato 그리고 cornstarch를 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 CD합성작용을 보였다. 어느 수준 이상의 과다한 CGTase 첨가경우에는 $\alpha$-CD생성이 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 정제된 CGTase는 stevioside에로의 당전이성을 갖고 있었다.
