Carbazole(electron donor)그룹과 dinitrobenzene(electron acceptor)그룹을 이용하여 전하 이동 작용이 실세스퀴옥산/고분자 하이브리드의 형성 메커니즘으로서 작용할 수 있는지 살펴보는 연구를 진행하였다. 하이브리드 실험은 새롭게 합성된 Poly(carbazole-styrene) (PS/D)와 dinitrobenzyl silsesquioxane (Cube/A)의 톨루엔 용액을 혼합/캐스팅을 하여 만들어진 필름을 이용하였으며 상분리가 없는 투명한 하이브리드 필름이 일부 조건에서 얻어졌다. PS/D및 Cube/A의 $^1H-NMR$분석, 그리고 하이브리드 필름들의 UV 흡수 실험은 실세스퀴옥산에 의한 입체 장애 효과가 없는 조건에서는 acceptor와 donor가 1:1로 전하 이동 착물을 형성할 수 있지만, 상분리가 없는 투명한 실세스퀴옥산 하이브리드는 acceptor/donor의 비율이 0.7 : 1 이하에서 형성된다는 것을 보여주었다. 이 결과들은 또 실세스퀴옥산 한 분자 당 평균 4개의 전하 이동 착물이 형성된다는 하이브리드 나노 구조에 대한 정보도 제공하였다.

Objectives : Green gram (mung bean) has a cold nature and has been known to detoxify against various side effects that belong to hot in nature. In particular, since it has the effect of detoxifying fever and detoxification to treat swelling, it was also used externally to treat febrile dermatological diseases such as erysipelas and rubella. This study was designed to determine whether green gram exhibits anti-inflammatory effects on contact dermatitis in mice. Methods : We investigated the effects of green gram extract (70% ethanol extract) on skin lesion, skin thickness and weights, melanin and erythema index and spleen body weight ratio in mice with contact dermatitis induced by repeated application of 1-Fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Results : Topical application of green gram extract ameliorates skin lesions of contact dermatitis such as scale and roughness induces by 1-Fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. green gram extract also suppressed enlargement of skin thicknesses and weights significantly. In addition, green gram extract treatment also lowered erythema index significantly compared to those in the control group. In the histopathological observation, green gram extract prevented epidermal hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis in inflamed tissues. Finally, green gram extract did not affect changes in body weights and the spleen body weight ratio, unlike dexamethasone, which significantly prevented body weight gain and lowered the spleen body weight ratio. Conclusions : These results imply that green gram, which is known to have a detoxifying effect in Korean medicine, can be used in the treatment of contact dermatitis.

Two tert-butyl substituted phthalocyanines(Pcs), in metal-free and metallated forms, were synthesized and the fluorescence responses toward various nitro derivatives, including picric acid(PA), 2,4-dinitrotoluene(DNT), 1,4-dinitrobenzene(DNB), 4-nitrotoluene(NT), nitrobenzene(NB), 1,4-benzoquinone(BQ), and nitromethane(NM) were investigated. Among the various nitro derivatives, current Pc derivatives exhibited efficient and exclusive fluorescence quenching in the presence of picric acid, which was readily observed by a naked eye. Quenching efficiency was estimated by the Stern-Volmer relationship, in which quenching constant, KSV, was calculated to be in the range of $10^4M^{-1}$. It was also found out that the aggregational behaviors of these Pcs are heavily dependent on the nature of solvent systems, subsequently affecting the quenching efficiency.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) was purified from Pseudomonas sp. DJ77, and its N-terminal sequence was determined to be MKLFISPGACSL. A specific tyrosyl residue in the vicinity of the N terminus is conserved in all the known cytosolic GSTs and has been shown to function as a catalytic residue in $\alpha$, $\mu$, $\pi$ class GSTs from mammals. However, Pseudomonas sp. DJ77 GST has the Phe-4 and Ile-5 instead of Tyr in N-terminus. Its replacement with tyrosine did not significantly affect the enzyme activity. Results from in vitro biochemical analyses were confirmed by the in vivo activity-based CDNB growth inhibition analyses. Our results clearly indicate that GST of Pseudomonas sp. DJ77 has a novel reaction mechanism different from that of mammalian GSTs.

본 연구에서는 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)로 유도한 아토피 피부염 동물 모델인 NC/Nga mice에 대한 Eurya emarginata 에탄올 추출물(EE-70E)의 면역 조절 효능을 확인하고자 하였다. DNCB를 5주간 도포하여 유도한 아토피 동물 모델인 NC/Nga mice에 EE-70E를 3주간 경구 투여한 후 scratching behavior 및 clinical skin severity score, 혈청 면역지표(IL-4, IL-13, IL-17, histamine, IgG1, IgE)의 농도를 측정하였다. DNCB를 도포하여 3주동안 경구 투여한 결과, EE-70E의 200 및 400mg/kg 용량에서 clinical skin severity의 감소, scratching behavior의 감소 및 혈중 IL-4 및 IL-13, IL-17, histamine, IgE의 농도가 대조군과 비교하여 유의성 있게 농도의존적으로 감소하는 결과가 관찰되었다(p<0.05). EE-70E의 경구투여는 NC/Nga mice 아토피 피부염 동물모델에서 면역조절 작용 및 아토피 피부염의 개선 효과를 가짐을 나타냈다. 따라서 EE-70E은 아토피 피부염에 유용한 천연자원으로서 기대된다.

A glutathione S-transferase (GST) from Lactuca sativa was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity approximately 403-fold with a 9.6% activity yield by DEAE-Sephacel and glutathione (GSH)-Sepharose column chromatography. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be approximately 23,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 48,000 by gel chromatography, indicating a homodimeric structure. The activity of the enzyme was significantly inhibited by S-hexylGSH and S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) glutathione. The enzyme displayed activity towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, a general GST substrate and high activities towards ethacrynic acid. It also exhibited glutathione peroxidase activity toward cumene hydroperoxide.

본 연구에서는 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)에 의해 유도된 아토피성 피부염 마우스 모델에서 고삼, 감초 및 백선피 추출물과 그들 복합 추출물(GGB)의 항아토피 효능을 평가하였다. 아토피성 피부염의 병리학적 형태인 홍반, 귀부종, 부종, 각질과 상처는 복합 추출물 중 고삼, 감초 및 백선피 추출물이 3:1:1로 혼합된 GGB-1 처리군에서 다른 시료 처리군들에 비하여 유의적인 억제 효능을 나타내었다. 또한 면역 기관인 비장의 무게도 GGB-1 처리군에서 감소하였고, 간의 무게는 정상군과 시료 처리군의 값이 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 아울러 GGB-1 처리군에서 비만 세포의 침윤이 감소되었으며, 혈청 중 IgE의 농도 역시 GGB-1 처리군에서 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 비록 단일 한약재와 그들의 혼합물 처리군에서는 면역 사이토카인(IFN-${\gamma}$, IL- 1, 4, 5, 6, 13, $1{\beta}$, and TNF-${\alpha}$) 의 값이 유의적으로 감소되었으나, 여러 가지 결과들을 종합하여 볼 때 고삼, 감초 및 백선피 추출물이 3:1:1로 혼합된 복합 추출물인 GGB-1이 아토피성 피부염의 개선에 효과적인 약물로 판단된다.

Our previous studies demonstrate that menadione (MEN) is cytotoxic to platelets of rats by depleting glutathione (GSH). In order to clarify whether GSH has a role in protecting against menadione-induced cytotoxicity, the effect of GSH depletors as well as GSH precusors on menadione-induced cytotoxicity was investigated. Cysteine and dithiothreitol (DTT) prevent MEN-induced cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner, as determined by LDH leakage and change in turbidity. When platelets were treated with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and diethylmaleate (DEM), both of which deplete intracellular GSH, MEN-induced cytotoxicity was potentiated in the CDNB-treated paltelets, but not in the DEM-treated platelets. These data suggest that the GSH in platelets plays an important role in protecting against cytotoxicity induced by menadione.

The effects of some coumarins(coumarin, 7-hydroxycoumarin, scopoletin and esculetin) were investigated on pumpkin(Cucurbita maxima Duch.) seedlings and on pumpkin glutathione S-transferases(GSTs). Coumarin and esculetin suppressed the growth of seedlings, especially the elongation of roots as well as hypocotyls. Among the compounds tested, only esculetin inhibited the activity of a particular pumpkin GST by 50%, CmGSTU3 toward 1-chloro-2, 4- dinitrobenzene(CDNB) and at a concentration of 22 ${\mu}M$. Both ethylacetae(EtOAc) and water fractions in pumpkin seedlings and different organs of one-month-old pumpkin plants contained esculetin or similar hydrophobic fluorescent substances as well as hydrophilic substances, which showed different degrees of inhibitory effects on CmGSTU3 activity.
