알칼리 펄프화중(化中)에 생성(生成)되는 리그닌의 착색구조(着色構造)를 구명(究明)하기 위(爲)하여 바닐린알코올[${\alpha}-^{13}C$] 과이아실 글리세롤-${\beta}$-아릴에테르[${\alpha}-^{13}C$] 혹은 [${\gamma}-^{13}C$] 페닐쿠마란[${\alpha}-^{13}C$] 구조(構造)를 각각(各各) 165$^{\circ}C$에서 1.5~3시간(時間) 알칼리용액을 처리한 후(後) 반응생성물(反應生成物)을 단리(單離) 또는 반응혼합물(反應混合物)을 $^{13}C$-NMR로 조사(調査)한 결과(結果), 바닐린아코올의 알칼리 처리(處理)는 Ca-$C_1$ 및 Ca-$C_5$의 결합(結合)을 갖는 축합체(縮合體)(II-1~5)로 되며, 이들은 공기산화(空氣酸化)에 의(依)해 퀴노이드 공역형구조(共役型構造)(Fig 3-7)로 산화(酸化)되며, 과이아실글리세롤 -${\beta}$- 아릴에테르의 알칼리 처리(處理)는 ${\alpha}$-아릴-${\beta}$-아록시퀴논구조(構造)(IV-15, IV-16) 디과이아실-1, 4-펜탄디엔 ${\beta}$, ${\beta}$' -디아록시스티렌메탄(V-4) ${\beta}$-아록시스티렌메탄(V-6)이 생성(生成)되며 스티렌메탄 구조(構造)는 공기산화(空氣酸化)에 의(依)해 O-퀴논메티드구조(V-8, V-9)로 된다. 페닐쿠마란은 알칼리처리(處理)에 의(依)해 다량(多量)의 스틸벤유도체(誘導體)를 생성(生成)하지만 이스틸벤구조가 퀴논구조로 산화되기 보다는 2량체(量體)(IV-11)로 안정화(安定化)되는 경향(傾向)이 있다. 이상(以上)과 같은 착색구조(着色構造)는 반응기구의 견지에서 알칼리 펄프화중(化中)에 생산되는 중요한 착색구조(着色構造)라고 생각된다.

Acetobacter sp. strains were isolated from traditional vinegar collected in Daegu city and Gyeongbuk province. The strain KJY8 showing a high acetic acid productivity was isolated and characterized by phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic inference based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses revealed the isolate to be a strain of Acetobacter pomorum. The isolate showed a G+C content of 60.8 mol%. It contained $\small{LL}$-diaminopimelic acid ($\small{LL}$-$A_2pm$) as the cell wall amino acid and ubiquinone $Q_9$ (H6) as the major quinone. The predominant cellular fatty acids were $C_{18:1}w9c$, w12t, and w7c. Strain KJY8 grew rapidly on glucose-yeast extract (GYC) agar and formed pale white colonies with smooth to rough surfaces. The optimum cultivation conditions for acetic acid production by the KJY8 strain were $20^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.0, with an initial ethanol concentration of 9% (w/v) to produce an acetic acid concentration of 8% (w/v).

본 연구에서는 PAHs 오염토양의 화학적 생물학적 처리과정에서 반응부산물로 흔히 발견되는 PAH-퀴논화합물을 대상으로 수용액 상에서의 망간산화물에 의한 산화-변환 제거 특성(제거율, 반응속도)을 조사하였다. 반응시간 경과에 따른 상등액의 HPLC 분석결과로부터 p-퀴논화합물인 Acenaphthenequinone (APQ)는 망간산화물 자체에 의한 산화-결합 반응을 통해 제거되며, o-퀴논화합물인 Anthraquinone (AQ)와 1,4-Naphthoquinone (1,4-NPQ)는 반응매개체(Catechol) 존재 하에서의 교차-결합반응을 통해 효과적으로 제거 가능함을 확인하였다. 망간산화물에 의한 PAH-퀴논화합물의 제거는 유사-일차 반응 속도식을 따랐으며, 본 실험조건(1,4-NPQ = 11.5 mg/L, CAT = 50 mg/L, $MnO_2$ = 1.0 g/L, pH 5, 반응시간 = 6~96 hr)에서의 1,4-NPQ의 교차-결합 반응속도상수(k, $hr^{-1}$)는 0.0426으로 APQ의 산화-결합 반응속도 상수(0.173)에 비교해 약 4배 정도의 차이를 보였다. 동일조건에서의 망간산화물 주입량별 속도상수를 망간산화물의 비표면적으로 표준화하여 얻은 1,4-NPQ의 교차-결합 반응에 대한 비표면적표준화속도상수($K_{surf}$)는 $8.5{\times}10^{-4}L/m^2{\cdot}hr$이었다. 망간산화물 주입량별 제거특성과 반응 속도상수의 비교 해석 결과로부터 1,4-NPQ의 교차-결합 반응은 반응시간 경과에 따라 서로 다른 반응기작을 거침을 확인하였으며, 이를 기존 문헌결과와 함께 해석하였다.

Poly-ethylenedioxypyrrole (PEDOP) coated thiolated multiwall carbon nanotubes palladium nanoparticles (MWCNTs-Pd) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) [PEDOP/MWCNTs-Pd/GCE] for the determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and it’s isomer catechol (CA) were synthesized and compared with bare GCE and thiolated multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-SH/GCE). The modification could be made by simple processes on a GCE with MWCNTs-Pd covered by PEDOP in a 0.05 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP)/MeCN solution system. A well-defined peak potential evaluation of the oxidation of hydroquinone to quinone at 0.05 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), and electrochemical reduction back to hydroquinone were found by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4. Peak current values increased linearly with increasing hydroquinone contents. The peak separation between the anodic and cathodic peaks at the PEDOP/MWCNTs-Pd/GCE was ${\Delta}Ep$ = 40 mV for HQ and ${\Delta}Ep$ = 70 mV for CA, resulting in a higher electron transfer rate. Moreover, good reproducibility, excellent storage stability, a wide linear range (0.1 ${\mu}M$ - 5 mM for HQ and 0.01 ${\mu}M$ - 6 mM for CA), and low detection limits ($2.9{\times}10^{-8}$ M for HQ and $2.6{\times}10^{-8}$ M for CA; S/N = 3) were determined using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometric responses; this makes it a promising candidate as a sensor for determination of HQ and CA.

1,4-Naphthoquinones are widely distributed in nature and many clinically important antitumor drugs containing a quinone moiety, such as anthracyclines, mitoxantrones and saintopin, show excellent anticancer activity. In this study, 2- or 6-substituted 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (DMNQ) and 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (DHNQ) derivatives were synthesized, and their cytotoxic activity against L1210 and P388 cancer cells was examined. Their antitumor activity was also assessed in mice bearing S-180 cells in the peritoneal cavity. In comparison with the DMNQ derivatives, the DHNQ derivatives exhibited more potent bioactivities than the DMNQ derivatives against both L1210 and P388 cells in vitro and S-180 cells in vivo. The $ED_{50}$ values of the DHNQ derivatives against P388 cells were in the range of 0.18-1.81 ${\mu}g/mL$ whereas those of the DMNQ derivatives were in the range of 0.26-40.41 ${\mu}g/mL$. The T/C ($\%$) values of the DHNQ derivatives, 8, 17, 18, 19, and 20, were found to be comparable to or even better than that of adriamycin. It was also observed that the 2-substituted derivatives (8, 19, 20) showed better antitumor activity than the 6-substituted derivatives (7, 17, 18) in the mice bearing S-180 cells in the peritoneal cavity.

Ardisia crispa (Family: Myrsinaceae) is an evergreen, fruiting shrub that has been traditionally used as folklore medicine. Despite a scarcity of research publications, we have succeeded in showing suppressive effects on murine skin papillomagenesis. In extension, the present research was aimed at determining the effect of a quinone-rich fraction (QRF) isolated from the same root hexane extract on both initiation and promotion stages of carcinogenesis, at the selected dose of 30 mg/kg. Mice (groups I-IV) were initiated with a single dose of 7,12-dimethylbenz(${\alpha}$)anthracene (DMBA, $100{\mu}g/100{\mu}l$) followed by repeated promotion of croton oil (1%) twice weekly for 20 weeks. In addition, group I (anti-initiation) received QRF 7 days before and after DMBA; group II (anti-promotion) received QRF 30 minutes before each croton oil application; group III (anti-initiation/promotion) was treated with QRF as a combination of group I and II. A further two groups served as vehicle control (group V) and treated control (group VI). As carcinogen control, group IV showed the highest tumor volume ($8.79{\pm}5.44$) and tumor burden ($3.60{\pm}1.17$). Comparatively, group III revealed only 20% of tumor incidence, tumor burden ($3.00{\pm}1.00$) and tumor volume ($2.40{\pm}1.12$), which were significantly different from group IV. Group II also showed significant reduction of tumor volume (3.11), tumor burden (3.00) and tumor incidence (11.11%), along with prominent increase of latency period of tumor formation (week 12). Group I, nonetheless, demonstrated marked increment of tumor incidence by 40% with prompted latency period of tumor formation (week 7). No tumor formation was observed in groups V and VI. This study provided clear evidence of inhibitory effects of QRF during promotion period which was in agreement with our previous findings. The mechanism(s) underlying such effects have yet to be elucidated.

일상생활에서 애용되고 있는 감자는 조리 시 껍질이 거의 폐기되고 있는 점을 감안하여, 폐기 농산물의 재활용의 측면에서 감자껍질(Solanum tubverosum Peel)을 수거하여 추출, 분획한 후 항균 및 항발암 효과를 살펴보았다. 항균성 검사로는 5가지의 균주에 대한 감자껍질의 분획물의 농도별 항균활성을 측정한 결과, 전반적으로 SPMEE에서 가장 큰 항균력을 보였으며, 특히 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 균주에서는 앞서 4가지 균에서는 활성이 없던 수층인 SPMA에서 항균활성이 크게 나타났다 감자껍질의 암세포 증식억제 효과를 MTT assay로 실험 한 결과,3종류의 암세포 HepG2, HeLa 및 MCF- 7세포주에서 모두 ethylether분획층인 SPMEE층에서 암세포 증식억제 효과가 크게 나타났으며 특히 MCF-7의 경우는 저농도 첨가 시부터 SPW층에서 높은 억제효과를 보였다. 또 HepG2세포를 이용한 감자껍질의 분획물의 암예방 QR 유도 활성효과를 본 결과, butanol 분획층인 SPMB에서 괄목할 만큼 높은 QR 유도 활성이 증가되었다. 본 실험 결과, 감자껍질에는 전반적으로 SPMEE층에서 높은 항균성을 보여 항균제로서의 개발가능성이 충분히 엿보이며, 나아가 암세포 증식억제효과도 SPMEE층에서 아주 컸다. SPMB와 SPMEA층에서도 그 효과가 돋보인다. 암을 예방하는 inducer는 SPMB층에 많이 존재하는 것으로 사료되며 이와 같은 연구결과를 기초로 하여 폐기 감자껍질을 이용한 단계적인 생리활성 물질의 분리 동정이 계속 이루어져 폐기식품 활용 및 건강 대체 식품 개발의 연구 대상으로서 기대가 되는 바이다.

An immunochemical method has been develooped as the most sensitive tool for studying the expression of quinoproteins containing pyrroloquinoline qinone(PQQ) in E. coli. The PQQ was conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA), and the conjugant was purified by using a $KwikSep^{TM}$ dextran desalting column chromatography. The PQQ-BSA conjugant was immunized to rabbits, and the IgG fractions of the antisera were purified. The most sensitive antibody against PQQ-BSA conjugant recognized some nanogram quantity of the antigen on the blot, but had little cross reactivity with BSA. Using this batch of the antibody, all the immunochemical assays of quinoproteins in E. coli were preformed. Some six different PQQ-specfic spots were detected by Western blot analysis of the soluble proteins in E. coli were performed. Some six different PQQ-specific spots were detected by Western blot analysis of the soluble proteins in E. coli after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Their molecular weights on the blot were estimated to be about 100-, 90-, 72-, 58-, 52-, and 50kDa. Their pI values fell in the range from 4.8 to 5.5. These results stronly suggest that quinoproteins are present in E. coli, and that the protein moieties were covalently bound to PQQ.

The oral administration of extracts of young radishes cultivated with sulfur after intravenous tumor cell injection achieved a marked reduction of pulmonary colonization in mice. Treatment of the mice with extracts of young radish cultivated with sulfur did not show any increase in the number of CD8+ or NK T cells in the spleen, indicating no influence on host immunity. Sulforaphane, which could be a candidate for an active compound from young radishes cultivated with sulfur, inhibited cell growth of B16-F10 melanoma cells. In addition, extracts of the young radish cultivated with sulfur-fed group showed enhanced quinine reductase (QR) activities in the liver and lung and a slight increase of glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in the liver. These results suggested that the administration of extracts of young radishes cultivated with sulfur suppressed pulmonary tumorigenesis, possibly due to increased activity of detoxification enzymes in the liver and lung, and partly due to cell cytotoxicity.

Phytase (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phospho-hydrolase, EC 3.1.3.8) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate) to release inorganic phosphate. A bacterial strain producing phytase was isolated from soil around a cattle shed. To identify the strain, cellular fatty acids profiles, the GC contents, a quinine-type analysis, and physiological test using an API 20NE kit were carried out. The strain was identified to be a genus of Pseudomonas sp. and named as Pseudomonas sp. YH40. The optimum culture condition for the maximum productivity of phytase by Pseudomonas sp. YH40 were attained in a culture medium composed of $1.0\%$ (w/v) glycerol, $2.0\%$ (w/v) peptone, and $0.2\%$ (w/v) $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$. Within the optimal medium condition, the production of phytase became highest after 10 h of incubation, and the maximal phytase production by Pseudomonas sp. YH40 was observed at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0.
