To find microorganisms producing esterase inhibitors, microbes were isolated from soil samples that were collected at different locations in Korea and screened for inhibitory activities. One of the inhibitor-producing strains was named strain DMC-498. This strain was found to be a new species of the genus Streptomyces by comparison with the characteristics of morphology and metabolisms of the other species of the genus.

The optimal conditions and substrate specificity of whole body esterase (EST) activity, effects of inhibitors (Eserine, Paraoxon, p-HMB, DDVP, DFP) on the enzyme, and ontogenv of the isozymes were determined in Lucilio ilfustris Meisen. The optimal temperature was $45^{\circ}C$ regardless of kind of reacted substrate, $\alpha-naphthyl$ acetate $(\alpha-Nal,$ a.naphthvl butylate $(\alpha-N),$ and Pnaphthyl acetate $(\beta-Na),$ but the optimal pH showed some regioselectivitv to naphthvl group of the esters; PH 7.0 for Iform, pH 7.5 for a-form. The maximum reaction rate was recorded at about 2.5 $\times$ 10's M of PNa and etNa, but 1.0 $\times$ 10'S M of $\alpha-Nb.$ Among the five EST inhibitors tested, DDVP was the most powerful. However, distinction of the relative specificity of inhibitors between three body parts, head, thorax, and abdomen, was shouts, representing differences in the distribution and activity of isozvmes. Of 12 carboxyl-esterases (CE), 8 cholinesterases (ChE) and 2 arvlesterases (ArE) identified based on their inhibitor specificity throughout the development, two larval and prepupal stage specific ChEs, no pupal specific, and 2 CEs.2ChEs. and one ArE adult specific isozvmes were confirmed.

한국 토양균 중에서 esterase 저해제를 생산하는 균주인 Streptomyces strain DMC-498을 oatmeal yeast extract 배지에서 3일간 액내 배양하였을 때 최고의 저해작용을 나타내었으며 균사체의 메탄올 추출물로부터 저해제를 분리하였다. linoleic acid가 저해작용이 있음을 확인하였으며 50% 저해작용을 나타내는 linoleic acid의 양은 $0.045\;\mu\textrm{g}/ml$이었다. 활성이 보다 큰 compound A는 분자량이 500 이상이며 산소를 2개이상 함유하고 있는 환상구조의 지방족 화합물로 생각된다. 이것을 상경적 저해작용을 나타내었다. DMC-498 균주가 함유하는 지질의 주성분은 isostearic acid, isostearic acid methyl ester, linoleic acid methyl ester 및 oleic acid methyl ester이었다.

Changes in activity and classification of esterase isozymes during the tire cycle or Plodia inteipunctella (Hiibner) were investigated by the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The stage specificity in esterase activity and isozyme pattern was observed throughout the larvalpupal-adult transformation. The activity esterase was highest at the 3-day old adult stage, and the lowest level at the prepupal stage. A total of 12 esterase bands were identified throughout the development, and the bands showing high enzyme activity was observed in the middle part of gel. Twelve esterases on the basis of inhibition by the three types of inhibitors (organophosphates, eserine sulfate and sulfhydryl reagents) were classified into three class, namely, carboxylesterase (CE), arylesterase (ArE) and cholinesterase (ChE), and these classes contained 7, 3 and 2 isozymes, respectively.

The cholinesterase-inhibiting organophosphorous (OP) compounds known as nerve agents are highly toxic. The principal toxic mechanism of OP compounds is the inhibition of acethylcholine esterase (AChE) by phosphorylation of its catalytic site. The reversible competitive inhibition of AChE may prevent the subsequent OP intoxication. In this study, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) was performed to investigate the relationship between the 29 compounds with structural diversity and their bioactivities against AChE. In particular, predictive models were constructed using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). The results indicate reasonable model for CoMFA ($q^{2}=0.453,\;r^{2}=0.697$) and CoMSIA ($q^{2}=0.518,\;r^{2}=0.696$). The presence of steric and hydophobic group at naphtyl moiety of the model may lead to the design of improved competitive inhibitors for organophosphorous intoxication.

Classification of esterase isozymes of the apterous green peach aphids (Myzus persicae Sulzer) collected in tobacco fields were investigated by the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). A total of twelve esterase bands were identified in adult apterous aphid, and the difference of enzyme band activity in the clones was observed at the first and second bands group. Esterases of green peach aphids reacted with specific substrate were more stained $\alpha$-naphthyl acetate than $\alpha$-naphthyl propionate, and $\alpha$-naphthyl acetate more than $\beta$-naphthyl acetate. Twelve esterases on the basis of inhibition by the three types of inhibitors (organophosphates: 2.5$\times$10$^{-3}$ M paraoxon, 4$\times$10$^{-3}$ M DFP; eserine sulfate : 2$\times$10$^{-3}$ M eserin; sulfhydryl reagents: 2$\times$10$^{-3}$ M p-HMB) were classified into three class, namely, cholinesterase (ChE) I, II, carboxylesterase (CE) and arylesterase (ArE), and these classes contained 3, 4, 3 and 2 isozymes, respectively.

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to reveal the esterase isozyme patterns of a freshwater snail, Semisulcospira gottschei, in the lake Uiam. From the result with inhibitors, it is tentatively concluded that four types (arylesterase, carboxylesterase, acethylesterase, acethylcholinesterase)of the adult(means of allele per locus=1.16, %polymorphism=16.7, heterozygosity=0.082)was lower than the juveniles(A=1.7, %P=16.7, H$\sub$D/=0.2215).

A new series of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 6a-i was synthesized by overnight stirring various 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides 5a-i in polyphosphoric acid followed by neutralization. The structures of newly synthesized compounds 5a-i and 6a-i were characterized by IR, $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectrometric studies. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their urease and acetylcholine esterase inhibition activities. Thiosemicarbazides 5a-i are found to possess excellent potential for urease inhibition, more than the standard drug. Thiosemicarbazides 5a-i are more potent urease inhibitor than their cyclic analogues thiadiazoles 6a-i. Almost all of the compounds are excellent inhibitors of acetylcholine esterase. The inhibition of acetylcholine esterase of compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, 5g, 5i, 6e, 6f, 6g, and 6i is much more than that of standard drug.

파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua (H bner))의 생리적 요인이 에스테라제 변이에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 전기영동을 이용한 동위효소 분석이 이루워졌다. 또한 각 동위효소의 화학적 특성을 파악하고자 기질 및 억제제에 따라 반응성을 분석하였다. 총 28개의 에스테라제 동위효소들이 10%비변성 전기영동에서 분리되었다. 이들 동위효소들은 양극으로 이동거리 증가에 따라 E1에서 E28까지 명명되었다. 파밤나방의 발육단계에 따라 에스테라제 동위효소는 변이를 보였다. 유충과 용이 성충에 비해 많은 수의 에스테라제 동위효소를 보였고, 알이 가장 적은 수를 나타냈다. 특히 E1과 E2는 1령충에서 특이하게 발현되는 도우이효소들이 있다. 서로 다른 조직간에도 에스테라제 동위효소 변이를 보였다. 혈림프와 지방체에 비해 표피와 소화관 조직에서 더많은 수의 에스테라제가 발현됐다. E1-E6 동위효소는 표피조직에 E10, E11, E25, E26 및 E27은 소화관조직에, 그리고 E18은 혈림프에 각각 특이한 에스테라제 동위효소들이었다. 조사된 haphtyl ester계통의 에스테라제 기질들 중에서 $\alpha$-naphty1 propionate가 모든 에스테라제 동위효소에서 가장 높은 반응성을 보였다. 이들 동위효소는 에스테라제 억제제(exerine, dichloroves, moncrotophs 및 paraox-on)에 대한 반응에 따라 E10과 E24는 콜린에스테라제, E4, E9,E17, E19, E21 및 E23은 아릴에스테라제 및 나머지 20종은 카르복실에스테라제로 각각 판명되었다.

소나무 수피와 잣나무 수피를 먹이로 사육한 북방수염하늘소(M. saltuarius)의 종령유충의 소화액을 추출하여 4가지 기질(${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate, ${\beta}$-naphthyl acetate, ${\alpha}$-naphthyl butyrate, ${\beta}$-naphthyl stearate)에 대한 에스테라제(esterase) 활성도 변화를 조사하였다. ${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate를 기질로 하여 조사한 결과 Est7이 잣나무수피를 먹인 유충에서 강하게 활성화되었다. 또한, ${\beta}$-naphthyl acetate와 ${\alpha}$-naphthyl butyrate 기질을 사용한 경우에도 Est6과 Est7이 잣나무수피를 먹인 유충에서 강한 활성이 관찰 되었다. 그러나 ${\beta}$-naphthyl stearate에서 활성화 되는 에스테라제는 관찰할 수 없었다. 추출한 소화액에 카바메이트계와 유기인계 약제를 처리한 경우 Est7을 포함하여 Est3과 Est6이 강하게 저해되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, eserine을 처리한 경우 Est4, Est6, Est7에서 강한 활성저해가 관찰되었다. Methoprene, bornyl acetate, linal, cineol, citral을 소화액에 첨가한 경우 에스테라제의 활성저해는 관찰되지 않았으나 이상의 결과는 in vitro에서 실시된 실험으로 추후 in vivo에서 재검증이 필요 할 것이다.
