Taxol은 diterpenoid구조를 가진 항암제로서, 난소암과 유방암에 탁월한 효과를 보이지만 다른 항암제와 마찬가지로 독성을 가지고 있어 약물의 체내 혈중농도를 모니터링하는 것이 필요하다. 약물의 혈중농도를 모니터링하는 방법은 HPLC법, ELISA법, RIA법 등이 있으나, RIA법이 민감도 측면에서 또한 간편하다는 점에서 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 I-125표지항원을 이용한 방사면역측정법을 확립하기 위해 먼저 taxol유도체를 합성하였다. 먼저 taxol의 C-13 탄소의 곁가지에 위치한 C-2'부분의 hydroxy기를 succinic anhydride와 반응시켜 2'-hemisuccinyltaxol (I)을 합성 (반응수율:80%)하였다. 또한 tyramine을 $^{125}$I로 표지하고 gel chromatopaphy를 통해 정제된 [$^{125}$I]iodotyramine (II) (반응수율:58%)을 얻었다. (I)과 (II)를 반응시켜 2'-[$^{125}$I]iodotyramine-hemisuccinyltaxol (III) (반응수율:96%)을 얻어 $^{125}$I 표지항원으로 사용하였다. Taxol에 대한 항체를 획득하기 위해서 (I)을 BSA에 접합반응시켜 2'-hemisuccinyltaxol-BSA접합체를 합성하였으며, 이것을 토끼에 면역 주사하여 anti-taxol serum을 얻었다. 이 항체에 대한 역가 검정실험에서 1:20의 희석비에서 B/F(%)가 약 40%를 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 2'-[$^{125}$I]iodotyramino-hemisuccinyltaxol을 표지항원으로 한 taxol의 방사면역측정 방법으로 혈청내 taxol의 농도측정이 가능함을 제시해 준다.

Background: Artificial sweeteners are chemically synthesized substances used to add sweetness to foods. Representative substances include aspartame and acesulfame-K, which are 200 times sweeter than sugar. Recently, the IARC classified aspartame as class 2B, but Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of South Korea announced that it would maintain the current usage standards. Acesulfame-K, which has the potential to cause cancer, was excluded from the list of possible carcinogens, raising questions about its safety. According to a survey by the Consumers Union of Korea, 85% of makgeolli includes artificial sweeteners, but the content labelling is not indicated. It is necessary to accurately determine the intake of artificial sweeteners through makgeolli. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the safety of makgeolli consumption by identifying the content of artificial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfam-K) and preservatives (sorbic acid). Methods: Twenty makgeolli samples were purchased from large supermarkets and convenience stores by referring to the sales ranking of makgeolli products distributed in South Korea and the purchase ranking from online sites. The sample was sonicated to remove alcohol and carbon dioxide. Nine mL of acetonitrile was mixed with 1 mL of the prepared sample, centrifuged, and the supernatant was filtered and analyzed using HPLC. Results: As a result of the analysis, aspartame was detected in 17 products and acesulfame-K was detected in ten. The ADI of aspartame (40 mg/kg·bw/day) is higher than the EDI based on the maximum concentration 126.5 ㎍/mL. The ADI of acesulfame-K (15 mg/kg·bw/day) is higher than the EDI based on the highest concentration of 82.96 ㎍/mL. Although the health risk is low, IARC has raised the possibility of aspartame causing carcinogenesis, so there is a need to reevaluate the standards and regulations for artificial sweeteners. Conclusions: Through this study, we aimed to determine the content of aspartame and acesulfame-K contained in makgeolli currently distributed in South Korea and the safety of exposure to the human body when consumed.
