The optimum conditions of the production of exo-polymer by Ganoderma lucidum WK-003 and it's hepatoprotective effect was studied. Optimum conditions for the production of exo-polymer (3.18 g/$\ell$) by using shaken flask culture of G. lucidum WK-003 were pH 4.5, 30$^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm for 18 days cultivation. Also exo-polymer productio (7.15 g/$\ell$) was optimized by 5$\ell$ jar fermenter cultivation with condition of pH 4.5, 30$^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm, 1.0 vvm for 6 days cultivation. Glutamic pyruvic transaminase(GPT) activities in serum of intoxicated Sprague-Dawley rat were decreased from 704 IU/L to 330 IU/L by oral administration of the exo-polymer (20mg/kg$.$day)f or 4 consecutive days.

The anti-complementary activity (immuno-stimulating activity) was tested for the exo-polymers (extra-cellular polymer) produced from submerged mycelial cultures of 21 types of higher fungi. Anti-complementary activity of the exo-polymer from Cordyceps militaris showed the highest (69.0%) followed by Pleurotus ostreatus (63.7%) and Trametes suaveolens (61.4%). The mycelial growth rate and biomass doubling time of C. militaris in a 5 I air-lift fermenter were 0.0255 $h^{-1}$ and 27.2 h, respectively. The yield of the exo-polymer produced from the culture broth of C. militaris was 2.95 mg of dry weight/ml of culture broth. Sugar and amino acid compositions of this exo-polymer were analyzed.

The effect of fermentation parameters and medium composition on the simultaneous mycelial growth and exo-polymer production from submerged cultures of Ganoderma applanatum was investigated in shake-flask cultures. The optimum initial pH for mycelial growth and exo-polymer production was 5.0 and 6.0, respectively. The optimum temperature was $25^{\circ}C$ and the optimum inoculum content was 3.0% (v/v). The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were glucose and corn steep powder, respectively. After 12 days fermentation under these conditions, the highest mycelial growth was 18.0 g/l and the highest exo-polymer production was 3.9 g/l.

The effect of exo-polymer from Ganoderma lucidum on the swimming endurance capacity of mice was investigated. The administration of the exo-polymer (100 mg/kg body weight) increased the swimming endurance capacity of mice by about 10 min and reduced the muscle and liver glycogen exhaustion by $18.5\%\;and\;67.2\%$, respectively. A substantial decrease in serum lactate accumulation ($50.7\%$) was also achieved under the influence of the exo-polymer. The exo-polymer was determined to be a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 780 kDa and found to contain $82.8\%$ carbohydrate and $17.2\%$ protein.

An extracellular polymer (exo-polymer) with hepatoprotective properties was produced after a 6-day submerged mycelial culture of Ganoderma lucidum WK-003. The glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activities in the serum of intoxicated Sprague-Dawley rats were decreased from 871 to 263 by the oral administration of the exo-polymer (20 mg/kg/day) for 4 consecutive days. Rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose, and glucose were found in the exo-polymer along with aspartic acid, glutamic acid, histidine, serine, glycine, arginine, alanine, tryptophan, valine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, and leucine.

The hypolipidemic effect of exe-polymer produced in submerged mycelial culture of Hericium erinaceus (HE), Auricularia auricula-judue (AA), Flammulina veluripes (FV), Phellinus pini (PP), and Grifola frondosa (GF) was investigated in dietary-induced hyperlipidemic rats. The animals were administered with exe-polymers at the level of 100 mg/kg body weight daily for four weeks. Hypolipidemic effect was achieved in all the experimental groups, however, HE exo-polymer proved to be the most potent one, which significantly reduced the plasma triglyceride ($28.9\%$), total cholesterol ($29.7\%$), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ($39.6\%$), phospholipid ($16.0\%$), and liver total cholesterol ($28.9\%$) level, when compared to the saline administered (control) group. The results of the present investigation strongly demonstrate the potential of HE exe-polymer in combating hyperlipidemia in the experimental animals.

Palladium(II) 촉매를 이용한 norobornene carboxylic acid estsers의 중합 시 단량체의 알킬 작용기의 종류, endo/exo 비율이 촉매의 활성도 및 중합 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Norbornene esters 단량체는 5-norborene-2-carboxylic acid와 다양한 알코올을 반응시켜 합성하였다. 중합 촉매로는 di-$\mu$-chloro-bis(-methoxybicyclo[2,2,1]-hept-2-ene)palladium(II)(DCBMP)를 합성하여 사용하였고, 짝음이온으로 실버 헥사플루오로안티모네이트($AgSbF_6$)를 이용하였다. 고분자의 분석을 위해 젤 투과 크로마토그래피(gel permeation chromatography, GPC), 열 중량 분석법(thermogravimetric analysis, TGA), 시차주사 열량측정법(differential scanning calorimetry, DSC), 화학구조 분석을 위해 $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy를 이용하였다. 분자량 분석 결과 모든 작용기의 경우 endo-이성체의 비율이 exo-이성체의 비율보다 높을 경우 촉매의 구조적 방해로 인하여 반응성이 감소됨을 보였다. 또한 단량체와 촉매의 비율이 중합 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 단량체와 촉매의 몰비율을 100:1, 200:1, 300:1로 변화시켜 실험을 진행하였으며, 이 때 exo-norbornene carboxylic acid octyl ester의 경우 300:1 촉매비에서 필름형성이 가능한 높은 분자량($M_n=27500g/mol$)의 고분자를 합성할 수 있었다.

Poly(exo-3,6-epoxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride)s [poly(ETA)s] and poly($\alpha$-ethoxy-exo-3,6-epoxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthaloyl-5-fluorouracil)s [poly(EETFU)s ] with various average molecular weights were prepared by photopolymerizations. The number average molecular weights of the fractionated poly(ETA)s and poly(EETFU)s determined by GPC were in the range of 3,600∼21,000 and 3,600-33,400, respectively. The release rate of 5-FU from poly(EETFU) decreased with increasing average molecular weight. The in vitro cytotoxicity of poly(ETA) against a normal cell line was lower than that of 5-fluorouracil(5-FU), The in vivo antitumor activities of the synthesized samples at dosage of 0.8 mg/kg against mice bearing sarcoma 180 tumor cell line decreased in the following order: poly(EETFU) > poly(ETA) > EETFU > ETA > 5-FU. The antiangiogenic activities of the poly(ETA)s were better than those of 5-FU.

New antitumor active polymers, poly(methacryloyl-2-oxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid-co-exo-3,6-epoxy-l,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic acid) [poly(MTCA-co-ETAc)], poly(methacryloyl-2-oxy-l,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid-co-hydrogen ethyl-exo-3,6-epoxy-l,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalate) [poly(MTCA-co-HEET)], and poly(methacryloyl-2-oxy-l,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid-co-a-ethoxy-exo-3,6-epoxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthaloyl-5-fluorouracil) [poly(MTCA-co-EETFU)] were synthesized and characterized. Their antitumor activity, inhibition of DNA replication and antiangiogenesis were examined. The structures of the polymers were identified by FT-IR, $^1H$ and $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopy. The number average molecular weights of the fractionated polymers determined by GPC ranged from 9,400 to 14,900, and polydispersity indices were less than 1.7. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these polymers was determined and their antitumor activity was evaluated. The $IC_{50}$ values (the drug concentration at inhibition of 50% tumor growth) indicated that the synthesized polymers were much better inhibitors of cancer cells and showed lower cytotoxicity than the free 5-FU. The in vivo antitumor activity of the conjugates was examined using mice bearing the sarcoma 180 tumor cell line. The life spans (TIC) of the mice treated with the conjugates were higher than those treated with the free 5-FU. In addition, the synthesized conjugates showed excellent antiangiogenic activity based on an embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay.

5원환 고리아세탈 화합물인 4-methylenes(4,5)을 합성하고 저온조건 하에서 중합반응을 조사한 결과, 선택적인 개환중합이 일어났다. 보통의 양이온 개시제를 사용한 결과 $-78^{\circ}C$에서 가교체가 얻어졌으며, $CH_3SO_3H$를 개시제로 사용하면 같은 조건에서도 주사슬과 곁사슬에 이중결합을 가지는 개환중합체가 얻어진다. 이 중합체는 반응성을 가지는 불포화기를 포함하고 있으므로 prepolymer로써 널리 사용될 수 있다.
