The electrorheological behavior of the glucosamine and glucosamine hydrochloride suspensions was investigated. The the glucosamine suspension behaved as a Newtonian fluid due to low conductivity even though it has polar group. The glucosamine hydrochloride suspension behaved as a Nonnewtonian fluid under the application of the electric field. The shear stress of the glucosamine hydrochloride suspension is proportional to 1.86 power of the electric field. The value of the structure factor, $A_s$ was 1 and it may be resulted due to the formation of single chain upon application of the electric field.

BACKGROUND: Glucosamine hydrochloride (GlcN HCl) has been shown to inhibit cell growth and matrix synthesis, but not with N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) supplementation. This effect might be related to an inhibition of critical growth factors (GF), or to a different metabolization of the two glucosamine derivatives. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the synergy between GlcN HCl, GlcNAc, and GF on proliferation and cartilage matrix synthesis. METHOD: Bovine chondrocytes were cultivated in monolayers for 48 h and in three-dimensional (3D) chitosan scaffolds for 30 days in perfusion bioreactors. Serum-free (SF) medium was supplemented with either growth factors (GF) $TGF-{\beta}$ ($5ng\;mL^{-1}$) and IGF-I ($10ng\;mL^{-1}$), GlcN HCl or GlcNAc at 1mM each or both. Six groups were compared according to medium supplementation: (a) SF control; (b) SF + GlcN HCl; (c) SF + GlcNAc; (d) SF + GF; (e) SF + GF + GlcN HCl; and (f) SF + GF + GlcNAc. Cell proliferation, proteoglycan, collagen I (COL1), and collagen II (COL2) synthesis were evaluated. RESULTS: The two glucosamines showed opposite effects in monolayer culture: GlcN HCl significantly reduced proliferation and GlcNAc significantly augmented cellular metabolism. In the 30 days 3D culture, the GlcN HCl added to GF stimulated cell proliferation more than when compared to GF only, but the proteoglycan synthesis was smaller than GF. However, GlcNAc added to GF improved the cell proliferation and proteoglycan synthesis more than when compared to GF and GF/GlcN HCl. The synthesis of COL1 and COL2 was observed in all groups containing GF. CONCLUSION: GlcN HCl and GlcNAc increased cell growth and stimulated COL2 synthesis in long-time 3D culture. However, only GlcNAc added to GF improved proteoglycan synthesis.

The purpose of this study was to see the effect of anti inflammatory and analgesic action of the glucosamine hydrochloride(GA HCl) or taurine. Male Sprague Dawley rats(100~250g) and ICR mice(20 ~30g) were used. Experimental groups were divided into seven groups, one control group given as saline and six groups given as oral administration of GA HCl or taurine; GA HCl 250mg/kg, b.w group, taurine 250mg/kg, b.w group, GA HCl 250mg/kg, b.w＋taurine 250mg/kg, b.w group, GA HCl 500mg/kg, b.w group, taurine 500mg/kg, b.w group, GA HCl 500mg/kg, b.w＋taurine 500mg/kg, b.w group. Carrageenan induced edema test were shown to be significantly inhibited in the GA HCl 250mg/kg group and taurine 250mg/kg group compared to the control group, but the GA HCl 500mg/kg＋taurine 500mg/kg group were significantly inhibited than the control group. Capillary permeability test were shown to be sig nificantly inhibited in the taurine 500mg/kg group, but the GA HCl 500mg/kg＋taurine 500mg/kg group were significantly inhibited than the control group. Leucocyte emigration test were shown to be significantly inhibited in the GA HCl 250mg/kg＋ taurine 250mg/kg group and GA HCl 500mg/kg＋taurine 500mg/kg group compared to the control group. Acetic acid, Phenyl p benzoquinone writhing syndrome were shown to be significantly inhibited in the GA HCl 500mg/kg＋taurine 500mg/kg group compared to the control group. Inhibitory action against COX 1 and COX 2 were not significantly inhibited in the experimental group. These results suggest that the combined administration of the GA HCl and taurine have potential action in anti inflammatory and analgesic action.

GAGs의 추출 방법 중 효소의 사용으로 추출 효율의 상승과 원료수급의 문제점을 해결할 수 있었다. 그러나 효소 사용에 따른 생산단가의 상승과 단백질 함량의 증가에 따른 화장품 규격을 만족시킬 수 없음으로, 1/60 M sodium phosphate buffer로 105$^{\circ}C$로 열수 추출하는 것이 화장품 규격을 만족시키는 방법으로 나타났다. 이렇게 추출한 GAGs의 SO$_4$ 함량은 31.2%이고 회분의 함량이 22.2%로 GAGs 추출 향상을 위해 사용되어지는 sodium phosphate의 사용으로 회분 함량이 높아졌음을 알 수 있고 무기질 분석에서 Na의 함량이 3.0 mg%로 총 무기질의 47.6%를 차지하고 있었다. 시료를 HPLC로 분석하였을 때 chondroitin sulfate A, C와 동일한 분석시간을 나타내어 chondroitin sulfate의 함유 가능성을 나타내고, glucosamine과 galactose가 78.0% 존재하는 것을 당조성 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 일반 성분, HPLC분석, 당 조성분석과 아미노산 분석결과로 glucosamine과 galacturonic acid가 주가 되어 threonine으로 연결된 구조를 하는 GAGs라는 것을 알 수 있다. 화장품 원료 기준에 맞추기 위해서는 sulfate 함량이 35.0~45.0%, 단백질 함량은 14.0~22.0%로 유지해야하므로 제단백결과 5.0%, 10.0%, 20.0% TCA (w/v) 처리, 10.0%, 20.0%, 40.0% HCI (v/v) 처리, UF(ultra filtration)를 포함한 10.0% TCA (w/v), 20.0% SSA (w/v), 25.0% HCI (v/v) 처리 결과 5.0% TCA (w/v) 및 10.0% HCI (v/v)이 화장품 기준에 적합하며 경제적이며 효율적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

미더덕으로부터 GAGs는 1/60 M sodium phosphate buffer로 $105^{\circ}C$로 열수 추출하는 것이 가장 경제적인 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 추출한 GAGs의 $SO_4$ 함량은 31.2%, 회분 함량은 22.2%이다 회분 함량의 증가는 sodium phosphate의 사용으로 추정되며, 이것은 무기질 분석에서 Na의 함량이 총 무기질의 47.6%를 차지하고 있다는 것으로 뒷받침한다. 일반 성분, HPLC 분석, 당 분석, 아미노산 분석의 결과로 GAGs의 주된 구조는 glucosamine과 galacturonic acid로 결합되어 있으며, 당과 단백질은 threonine으로 연결되어 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 화장품 원료 규격에 적합한 제단백은 5.0%, 10.0%, 20.0% TCA(w/v) 처리, 10.0%, 20.0%, 40.0% HCl(v/v) 처리, UF(ultra filteration)를 포함한 10.0% TCA(w/v), 20.0% S-SAS(w/v), 25.0% HCl(v/v) 처리가 가능하며, 이중 5.0% TCA(w/v) 및 10.0% HCl(v/v)의 처리가 가장 경제적이며 효율적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.
