1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is an alkaloid that is found at relatively high concentrations in mulberry leaf and tissues of the silkworm, $Bombyx$ $mori$. DNJ is a well known inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, an enzyme that is involved in the early stages of the $N$-linked glycoprotein synthesis pathway. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase activity in the cell extract from $B.$ $mori$-derived Bm5 cells showed approximately 40-fold less sensitivity to DNJ than ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity in the cell extract from $Spodoptera$ $frugiperda$-derived Sf9 cells. The replication of $B.$ $mori$ nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) was not inhibited when it was propagated in BmN cells that were grown in medium containing up to 10 mM DNJ. In contrast, the replication of $Autographa$ $californica$ multiple NPV (AcMNPV) was reduced by 67% when it was propagated in Sf9 cells that were grown in medium containing 10 mM DNJ. The viability of Bm5 and Sf9 cells that were grown in medium containing up to 10 mM DNJ was not affected. Our results suggested that the reduced replication of AcMNPV was the result of the higher sensitivity of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity in Sf9 cells to DNJ.

검은비늘버섯을 이용하여 심혈관계 질환과 관련된 기능성 식품 개발을 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 검은비늘버섯물 추출물과 유기용매 분획물을 이용하여 심혈관계 질환관련 생리활성을 확인하였다. 물 추출물은 57.57%의 항산화활성을 나타냈지만 혈전용해활성, 트롬빈저해활성, ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해효과는 매우 낮게 나타났다. 반면 에틸 아세테이트 분획물은 0.70 plasmin unit의 높은 혈전용해 활성과, 87.36%와 46.44%의 높은 트롬빈 저해활성과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 나타냈으며, 물 분획물은 48.27%의 항산화활성을 나타냈다. 혈전용해활성이 높은 에틸 아세테이트 분획물은 섬유소원의 $A{\alpha}$와 $B{\beta}$ chain은 모두 분해시켰지만 ${\gamma}$ chain과는 반응하지 않았으며, $100^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 가열에도 혈전용해 활성에 변화가 없었다. 실험 결과로부터 검은비늘버섯의 에틸아세테이트 분획물은 높은 혈전용해활성과 트롬빈 저해활성과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성을 나타내 심혈관계 질환 관련 치료나 예방을 위한 기능성식품 개발에 이용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The transformation of ginsenoside Rb1 into a specific minor ginsenoside using Aspergillus niger KCCM 11239, as well as the identification of the transformed products and the pathway via thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography were evaluated to develop a new biologically active material. The conversion of ginsenoside Rb1 generated Rd, Rg3, Rh2, and compound K although the reaction rates were low due to the low concentration. In enzymatic conversion, all of the ginsenoside Rb1 was converted to ginsenoside Rd and ginsenoside Rg3 after 24 h of incubation. The crude enzyme (b-glucosidase) from A. niger KCCM 11239 hydrolyzed the ${\beta}$-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-glucosidic linkage at the C-20 of ginsenoside Rb1 to generate ginsenoside Rd and ginsenoside Rg3. Our experimental demonstration showing that A. niger KCCM 11239 produces the ginsenoside-hydrolyzing b-glucosidase reflects the feasibility of developing a specific bioconversion process to obtain active minor ginsenosides.

Dekkera anomala YAE-1 strain separated from "airag" (Mongolian fermented mare's milk) produces β-glucosidase, which can convert ginsenoside Rb₁ from Panax ginseng. Ginseng- derived bioactive components such as ginsenoside Rb₁ have various immunological and anticancer activities. Airag was collected from five different mare milk farms located near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. YAE-1 strains were isolated from airag to examine the hydrolytic activities of β-glucosidase on Korean Panax ginseng using an API ZYM kit. Supernatants of selected cultures having β-glucosidase activity were examined for hydrolysis of the major ginsenoside Rb₁ at 40℃, pH 5.0. The YAE-1 strain was found to be nearly identical at 99.9% homology with Dekkera anomala DB-7B, and was thus named Dekkera anomala YAE-1. This strain exerted higher β-glucosidase activity than other enzymes. Reaction mixtures from Dekkera anomala YAE-1 showed great capacity for converting ginsenoside Rb₁ to ginsenoside Rd. The β-glucosidase produced by Dekkera anomala YAE-1 was able to hydrolyze ginsenoside Rb₁ and convert it to Rd during fermentation of the ginseng. The amount of ginsenoside Rd was highly increased from 0 to 1.404 mg/ml in fermented 20% ginseng root at 7 days.

알부틴은 glycosylated hydroquinone으로 여러 식물들에서, 고농도로 발견되며 비교적 안정한 물질이다. 이는 멜라닌화를 억제하는 작용이 있는 것으로 보고되어 있고, 베타-글루코시다제에 의해 포도당과 hydroquinone으로 쉽게 가수분해된다. Hydroquinone 역시 우수한 항멜라닌화 작용을 가지나, 여러 가지 부작용들로 인해 그 사용이 제한적이거나 주의를 요한다. 이 연구는 알부틴과 베타-글루코시다제를 포함하는 미백 화장품이 자외선 조사로 유도된 색소 침착을 억제하는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상은 10명의 건강한 성인으로 등 부위에 자외선 B를 조사하여 색소 침착 병변을 만들었고 이 병변들은 세 그룹: 알부틴과 베타-글루코시다제를 함유하는 미백 화장품 도포군, vehicle 대조군, no-application 대조군으로 나누었다. 알부틴과 베타-글주코시다제를 함유하는 미백 화장품 도포군은 no-application 대조군에 비교하여 색소 침착을 $50.17\%$ 억제하였다(N = 10:P<0.05). 따라서 알부틴과 베타-글루코시다제를 함유하는 미백 화장품이 기미 등 자외선 조사로 유도되거나 악화되는 과색소성 질환에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있겠다.

This study examined the α-glucosidase inhibitory, and apoptosis- and anti-muscular-related factors of goat meat extracts from forelegs, hind legs, loin, and ribs. The goat meat extracts were evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The gene and protein expression levels of Bcl-2-associated X (bax), p53, and p21 were examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunoblotting in AGS and HT-29 cells. The expression levels of Atrogin-1 and MHC1b were examined by RT-PCR in C2C12 myoblasts, and the expression levels of Atrogin-1, muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx), muscle RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF-1), and myosin heavy chain-7 were investigated by immunoblotting. α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity was higher in ethanol extract than in hydrous and hot water extracts. BAX and p53 expression levels were higher (p<0.05) in AGS cells treated with goat meat extract than those of cells treated with no goat meat extract. In HT-29 cells, the protein expression levels of BAX, p53, and p21 were higher (p<0.05) in the cells treated with goat meat extract than those of cells not treated with goat meat extract. In dexamethasone-treated C2C12 cells, goat meat extract treatment lower (p<0.05) the expression of Atrogin-1 and lower (p<0.05) the expression of MAFbx and MuRF-1. The results of the present study indicate that goat meat extracts have α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro. In addition, apoptosis was induced in AGS cells and HT-29 cells treated with goat meat extract, and anti-muscular atrophy activity was also observed in C2C12 cells treated with goat meat extract.

A producer of inhibitor against ${\beta}-glucosidase$ of Penicillium sp.-L4 was screened from Actinomycetes, and the isolated strain was identified as Streptomyces sp. The inhibitor produced was very stable against heat, acidic and alkaline conditions, proteolytic and amylolytic enzymes. The inhibotor was purified from culture broth through activated carbon treatment, ultrafiltration, anion and cation exchange, activated carbon columm, acetone precipitation and preparative HPLC. It showed inhibitory activities against a variety of dissacharide hydrolyzing enzymes produced by P.sp.-L4, and the mode of inhibition was competitive. Its structure and molecular formular was elucidated by IR, $^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ NMR and FAB/Mass spectrometry, which was identified as 1-deoxynojirimycin (dNM). dNM showed inhibitory effects on the cell growth and hydrolytic enzyme action of P.sp.-L4 on agar plate and infected lemon peel.
