1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA) is a bifidogenic growth stimulator (BGS) and could be a functional food ingredient since bifidobacteria are beneficial for human health. For that reason, lactic acid bacteria producing DHNA have been screened. A lactic acid bacterium LP1 strain isolated from a natural cheese was confirmed to produce DHNA, analyzed by a HPLC method. The strain was identified as Lactobacillus casei by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The cell-free supernatant of fermented whey produced by L. casei LP1 presented the BGS activity for three bifidobacterial strains such as Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis KCTC 3127, Bifidobacterium bifidum KCTC 3202, and Bifidobacterium breve KCTC 3220 which were human-originated. To the best of our knowledge, a L. casei strain which can produce DHNA was firstly identified in this study.

본 연구에서는 촉매로 Co-Mn-Br계를 사용하고, 상대적으로 온화한 반응조건에서 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene(DMN)의 산화 반응 특성과 촉매가 반응에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 이를 위해 $2{\ell}$의 회분식 반응기를 이용하여 촉매의 농도를 조절하며 실험하였다. 먼저 반응시간에 따른 반응중간생성물의 농도변화를 분석하여 반응경로를 확인하였고, 그 결과 2-formyl-6-naphthoic acid, 2-methyl-6-naphthoic acid, 그리고 2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylnaphthalene이 반응중간물임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid(NDA)의 수율은 Co와 Br의 농도에 많은 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 제품의 품질 척도 중 하나인 color-b는 Mn의 농도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 용매연소는 Mn과 Br의 농도조절로 줄일 수가 있었다. 조촉매로 Ce/Cu 화합물을 첨가함으로 NDA의 수율을 증가시키고 용매연소를 줄이는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

To support beneficial effects of makgeolli for human health, we investigated for the presence of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), a bifidogenic growth stimulator (BGS), from commercial makgeolli products. Among eleven makgeolli products (A~K), four showed positive peaks for DHNA in high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Makgeolli product A in particular contained the highest concentration of DHNA (0.44 ppm), as confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Furthermore, BGS activity of the makgeolli product A was higher than those of products in which DHNA was not detected. These results indicate that makgeolli can be a good source for DHNA and that DHNA-enriched makgeolli could be developed by modifying manufacturing procedures and controlling its microbiota.

비피도박테리아 증식인자인 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid 생산 유산균주 LP2가 선행연구에서 자연치즈로부터 분리되었다. LP2 균주는16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석에 의한 균주동정에서 Lactobacillus plantarum(99% 일치율)과 가장 높은 상동성을 나타내어 Lactobacillus plantarum LP2 균주로 명명하였다. LP2 균주의 배양 상등액은 Helicobacter pylori KCTC 12083 균주에 대하여 항균활성을 나타내었으며 이는 생산된 DHNA에 기인하는 것으로 추측되었다.

Two novel antenna complexes of $Eu^{III}$ with 1-naphthoic acid (NA) as primary ligand and two aromatic N-donor ligands namely N-hexyl-N-(pyridin-2-yl) pyridin-2-amine (1) and 4-((dipyridin-2-ylamino)methyl)benzoic acid (2) have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The room-temperature (298 K) photoluminescence spectrum of $Eu^{III}$ complexes composed of typical line like emissions, assigned to transitions between the first excited state $^5D_0$ to the $^7F_J$ (J = 0-4), resulting in red emission along with the residual emission from the 1-naphthoic acid moiety in the blue region. The determined CIE color coordinate value for the complex 2 is (x = 0.36, y = 0.34), which is in white region.

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), a precursor of menaquinone (vitamin K2), has an effect on growth stimulation of bifidobacteria and prevention of osteoporosis, making it a promising functional food material. Therefore, we tried to clone the menB gene encoding DHNA synthase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJNU 0147. Based on the genome sequence of Leu. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 (GenBank accession no., CP000414), a primer set (Leu_menBfull_F and Leu_menBfull_R) was designed for the PCR amplification of menB gene of CJNU 0147. A DNA fragment (1,190 bp), including the menB gene, was amplified, cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector, and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of MenB (DHNA synthase) protein of CJNU 0147 had a 98% similarity to the corresponding protein of ATCC 8293. The menB gene was subcloned into pCW4, a lactic acid bacteria - E. coli shuttle vector, and transferred to CJNU 0147. The transcription of menB gene of CJNU 0147 (pCW4::menB) was increased, when compared with those of CJNU 0147 (pCW4) and CJNU 0147 (−). The DHNA was produced from it at a detectable level, indicating that the cloned menB gene of CJNU 0147 encoded a DHNA synthase which is responsible for the production of DHNA, resulting in an increase of bifidogenic growth stimulation activity.

Dibenzyl-g-butyrolactone and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid $\gamma$-lactone (TNL) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxic activity against some cancer cell lines. It was found that TNL derivatives with a shorter distance between C-4 in ring A and C'-2 in ring C were more cytotoxic, while dibenzyl-${\gamma}$-butyrolactones with a longer one were nearly inactive. In TNL series, presence of 3,4-dioxy group in ring A and 2-methoxy group in ring C was essential for the enhancement of the activity.
