To screen agent for the treat-ment of Alzhimers Disease several strains of bacteria producing acetylcholinesterase inhibitor ware isolated from soil. Strain 960903 showed strong acetylcholinesteras inhibitory activity and low butyrylcholinesterse inhibitory activity. The strain 960903 was identified as Pseudomonas sp. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor ws highly achieved in fermentation medium containing soluble starch 3.0%, glycerol 1.0%, pharmamedia 0.5%, KCI 0.3%, $CaCO_3$ 0.2%, MgS $O_4$..$7H_2$O 0.05%, $KH_2$$PO_4$ 0.05%(pH6.5) at $30^{\circ}C$ for 4 days. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor was purified by Diaion WA-30($OH^{-}$) column charomatography and cellulose column chromatography. Acetylcholinesterase inhibi-tor showd the maximum wavelength at 205 nm and was soluble in water, acetic acid, ethanol, methanol and dime-thyl sulfoxide. The concentration of 50% inhibition($IC_{50}$) of inhibitor against acetylcholinesterase was 25$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. The inhibitor was inactivated on heating ar $100^{\circ}C$ fro 15 min and more stable in acidic region than alkaline region.n.

To develop a new anti-dementia acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor from edible mushrooms, AChE inhibitory activities were determined on water and ethanol extracts of various edible mushrooms from oriental medicine markets and agriculture markets. As a result, the 70% ethanol extract from Pholiota adiposa fruiting body had the highest AChE inhibitory activity of 30.6, and its water extract also had an AChE inhibitory activity of 23.8%. Therefore, we finally selected P. adiposa as a potent anti-dementia AChE inhibitor-containing mushroom. The AChE inhibitor of P. adiposa was maximally extracted when its fruiting body was treated with water for 3hr at $70^{\circ}C$ and 70% ethanol for 12 hr at $70^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In the course of searching for acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from crude drugs, it was found that total MeOH extract of Corydalis Tuber showed significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase. To isolate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from Corydalis Tuber, total MeOH extract of the the crude drug was subjected to activity guided fractionation. The MeOH extract was suspended in water and fractionated with methylene chloride and subjected to acid-base fractionation. Silica gel column chromatography of the basic fraction which showed significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase was carried out and 5 subfractions (1-5) were obtained. From subtraction 4, compound I was isolated. The structure of isolated compound I was identified by spectroscopic parameters of $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, EI-MS and FAB-MS. The compound I was identified as berberine. It was found from the Lineweaver-Burk plot that berberine was a reversible and specific inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase having 90% inhibitory effect at the concentration of $2.5{\mu}M$.

For the development of a new antidementia functional food or alternative drug using agricultural products, Job's tears (Coix lachrymajobi L.), which shows high acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity (55.1%) was selected and the extraction conditions of AChE inhibitor were optimized. AChE inhibitor of Job's tears was maximally extracted when it was treated with 60% methanol at $40^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. The AChE inhibitor of the methanol extracts was partially purified by systematic solvent extraction, thin layer chromatography, silica gel chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC and the partial purified AChE inhibitor with inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$) of $0.608\;{\mu}g$ was obtained. The partial purified AChE inhibitor was soluble in methanol and hexane, and insoluble in water. Its maximum absorption spectra was 230 nm and also it was stable in the range of $30^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ and pH 4.0-8.0 for 1 h.

The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor of Yarrowia lipolytica S-3 was maximally produced when it was incubated at $30^{\circ}C$ for 36 h in an optimal medium containing 1% yeast extract, 2% peptone and 2% glucose, with an initial pH 6.0. The final AChE inhibitory activity under these conditions was an $IC_{50}$ value of 64mg/ml. After partial purification of the AChE inhibitor by means of systematic solvent extraction, the final $IC_{50}$ value of the partially purified AChE inhibitor was 0.75 mg/ml. We prepared a test product by using the partially purified AChE inhibitor and then determined its stability for the development of a new antidementia commercial product. The test product was stable at room temperature for 15 weeks.

본 연구에서는 버섯으로부터 항치매성 건강소재를 개발하고자 주요 식용 및 약용 버섯들의 물과 에탄올 추출물들을 제조한 후 이들의 수율과 acetylcholinesterase 저해활성을 측정하여 우수 버섯을 선발하였다. 또한 선발된 우수버섯에 함유되어있는 항치매성 acetylcholinesterase 저해 물질의 추출 최적조건을 검토하였고, 이 저해물질을 부분정제한 후 PC12 신경세포사 저해 활성을 측정하여 항치매 효능을 검증하였다. 시료 버섯들의 물 추출물과 70% 에탄올 추출물을 각각 제조하여 이들의 acetylcholinesterase 저해 활성을 측정한 결과 물 추출물의 수율이 40%로 높고 acetylcholinesterase 저해 활성도 20.2% (IC₅₀: 12.4 mg)로 우수한 흑타리버섯을 acetylcholinesterase 저해물질을 함유한 우수 버섯으로 최종 선발하였다. 흑타리버섯 자실체중의 항치매성 acetylcholinesterase 저해물질의 추출 최적 조건은 흑타리버섯 분말을 1:30으로 증류수에 현탁 시킨 후 30℃에서 6시간 추출하는 조건이었다. 흑타리버섯 자실체의 항치매성 acetylcholinesterase 저해물질을 한외여과와 gel 여과 등으로 부분정제한 후 신경세포 PC12의 세포치사 억제에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 부분정제 물질을 50 ㎍/mL 처리했을 때 세포치사율이 17.0%로 낮아져서 흑타리버섯 부분정제물이 치매 진행과정을 억제하거나 지연시키는 효과를 보이는 것으로 사료된다.

This report describes the isolation and identification of a potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor-producing yeasts. Of 731 species of yeast strain, the S-3 strain was selected as a potent producer of AChE inhibitor. The selected S-3 strain was investigated for its microbiological characteristics. The S-3 strain was found to be short-oval yeast that did not form an ascospore. The strain formed a pseudomycelium and grew in yeast malt medium containing 50% glucose and 10% ethanol. Finally, the S-3 strain was identified by its physiological characteristics and 26S ribosomal DNA sequences as $Yarrowia$ $lipolytica$ S-3.

Variety of biomarkers that are related to the Alzheimer's disease and its diagnosis and progress have been found. However, research lacks in predicting the reaction of the treatment. In addition, there is no definite treatment reaction to the disease but rather it is varied. The purpose of this review article is to study the research of the biomarkers that are able to predict the treatment reaction. There was a research that illustrated a relationship between plasma amyloid ${\beta}$ peptide, cerebrospinal fluid tau, neuroanatomical biomarkers and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Polymorphisms in genes of the cholinergic markers AChE, BuChE, ChAT and PON-1 were found to be associated with better clinical response to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Many pharmacogenetic studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of the lipoprotein apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype on treatment response to acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. However, there is no significant influence of the APOE genotypes on treatment response. Further research is needed to find other predictors of treatment with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

In this paper, the screening of potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor - producing yeasts from wild yeasts and the condition for the production of anti-dementia AChE inhibitors are described. Among one hundred and seven non-pathogenic wild yeast strains from the waters and soils of three main rivers in Daejeon metropolitan city and midstream of Yeongsangang river in Sangju, sporogenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae WJSL0113 and asporogenous Wickerhamomyces anomalus JSF0128 were selected as useful strains for the production of potent AChE inhibitors. The AChE inhibitors of S. cerevisiae WJSL0113 and W. anomalus JSF0128 had a maximum yield when they were incubated in yeast extract-peptone-dextrose media (pH 6.0 in S. cerevisiae WJSL0113 and pH 5.0 in W. anomalus JSF0128) for 18 hr at $30^{\circ}C$, respectively.
