Seventeen wild vegetables consumed commonly in Korea were tested for inhibitory activities against alpha-glucosidase, followed by Bupleurum longeradiatum and Angelica decursiva. The hexane-soluble fractions of Hosta longipes, Ainsliaea acerifolia, Pedicularis resupinata, Bupleurum longeradiatum, and Angelica decursiva all at the concentration of 5 mg/ml, inhibited enzyme activity by greater than 50%, and the ethylacetate-soluble fractions of Hosta longipes, and Codonopsis lanceolata, and Bupleurum longeradiatum had relatively strong inhibitory activity against the enzyme. These results suggest that some edible plants merit further evaluation for clinical usefulness as anti-diabetic drugs.

전통발효식품의 기능성을 증명하기 위하여 경상남도 거창 농가로부터 구입한 오미자를 발효시켜 오미자 발효액을 제조하였으며, 여러 가지 생리활성에 대하여 조사하였다. 우선 오미자 발효액의 혈전분해능에 대해 분석한 결과, 혈전용 해제로 알려져 있는 plasmin보다 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 항고혈압 활성 측정 실험에서는 현재 시판되고 있는 항고혈압제인 captopril은 93.4%의 ACE 억제효과가 나타났고, 5배 희석한 오미자 발효액(20%)에서는 94.8%의 높은 저해활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 오미자 발효액은 인체에 부작용이 적은 천연 항고혈압소재로서 이용가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다. 혈당 강하 효과를 조사하기 위하여 $\alpha$-amylase와 $\alpha$-glucosidase 활성억제 효과를 측정하였다. 오미자 발효액의 pancreatin $\alpha$-amylase에 대한 저해 효과를 검토한 결과 오미자 발효액 25%의 농도에서 7.4%의 저해효과가 나타났고 오미자 발효원액인 100%에서는 100%의 높은 $\alpha$-amylase 저해효과를 나타냈다. 따라서 오미자 발효액의 $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성은 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 오미자 발효액의 $\alpha$-glucosidase 활성억제를 조사한 결과 30%의 농도에서 15.8%, 60%의 농도에서 49%의 저해활성을 나타냈다. 아질산염 소거능 측정 실험에서는 positive control인 Vit. C 0.1%의 경우 pH 1.2와 3.0에서는 61~76%, pH 6.0에서는 49%의 소거능을 보인 반면 오미자 발효원액(100%)의 경우 pH 1.2와 3.0에서는 72~96%, pH 6.0에서는 68%의 소거능을 나타내었다. 오미자 발효액의 숙취해소 효능은 ADH와 ALDH 활성증진에 오미자 발효액이 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 증명하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 오미자 발효액은 acetaldehyde 분해능은 없는 반면, 알코올 분해능은 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 오미자 발효액의 우수한 기능성식품으로서의 이용 가능성에 대한 기초자료로 그 가치가 기대된다.

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.

In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of Baechu kimchi added Ecklonia cava on the activities of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase and its alleviating effect on the postprandial hyperglycemia in STZ-induced diabetic mice. Baechu kimchi added Ecklonia cava (BKE, 15%) was fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Optimum ripened BKE was used in this study as it showedthe strongest inhibitory activities on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylaseby fermentation time among the BKEs in our previous study. The BKE was extracted with 80% methanol and the extract solution was concentrated, and then used in this study. The BKE extract showed higher inhibitory activities than Baechu kimchi extract against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. The $IC_{50}$ values of the BKE extract against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase were 0.58 and 0.35 mg/mL, respectively; BKE exhibited a lower ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity but a higher ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity than those of acarbose. The BKE extract alleviated postprandial hyperglycemia caused by starch loading in normal and streptozotocin- induced diabetic mice. Furthermore, the BKE extract significantly lowered the incremental area under the curve in both normal and diabetic mice (P<0.05). These results indicated that the BKE extract may delay carbohydrate digestion and thus glucose absorption.

${\beta}$-Glucosidase is necessary for the bioconversion of glycosidic phytochemicals in food. Two Bifidobacterium strains (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis SH5 and B. animalis subsp. lactis RD68) with relatively high ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities were selected among 46 lactic acid bacteria. A ${\beta}$-glucosidase gene (bbg572) from B. lactis was shotgun cloned, fully sequenced, and analyzed for its transcription start site, structural gene, and deduced transcriptional terminator. The structural gene of bbg572 was 1,383 bp. Based on amino sequence similarities, bbg572 was assigned to family 1 of the glycosyl hydrolases. To overexpress bbg572 in Bifidobacterium, several bifidobacteria expression vectors were constructed by combining several promoters and a terminator sequence from different bifidobacteria. The maximum activity of recombinant Bbg572 was achieved when it was expressed under its own promoter and terminator. Its enzyme activity increased 31-fold compared with those of its parental strains. The optimal pH for Bbg572 was pH 6.0. Bbg572 was stable at $37-40^{\circ}C$. It hydrolyzed isoflavones, quercetins, and disaccharides with various ${\beta}$-glucoside linkages. Bbg572 also converted the ginsenosides Rb1 and Rb2. These results suggest that this new ${\beta}$-glucosidase-positive Bifidobacterium transformant can be utilized for the production of specific aglycone products.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) 감염된 baby hamster kidney 세포에서 Syncytium (합포체) 형성은 세포막 표면으로의 수송된 바이러스 당단백질 hemagglutinin-neuramidase에 의해 일어난다. HAU 값은 추출물의 농도가 25과 $3.2{\mu}g/mL$ 사이에서는 현저하게 감소하였으나, $25{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 NDV 감염된 HAD (%)는 광범위한 흡착능의 감소를 나타났으나 바이러스 당단백질의 세포내 생합성은 저해되지 않았다. 그러므로 오배자 추출물은 바이러스 당단백질의 세포막으로의 수송과 함께 합포체 형성을 저해하여 항바이러스 활성을 갖는 것으로 결론된다. 또한 오배자 추출물의 저해활성을 조사한 결과 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$에 대한 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 $12.5{\mu}g/mL$이었으며, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, ${\beta}-mannosidase$에 대한 오배자 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 26, 36, $50{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 ${\beta}-type$ glycosidases 보다 ${\alpha}-type$ glycosidase에 대한 효소활성 저해능이 우수하였다. 따라서 $IC_{50}$ 농도에서는 세포내에서 당단백질 생합성은 저해되지 않으며 당단백질의 수송을 저해하는 것으로 판단되었으며 향후 항바이러스 관련 작용기작의 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

Objectives : The heartwood of Sappan Lignum has been used since ancient times as an ingredient in folk medicines against anti-bacterial and anti-anemia purposes. Many bioactive constituents have been derived from this biomass such as chalcones and homoisoflavonoids. In the current investigation, the antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties using DPPH and $ABTS^+$ radicals scavenging, ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) inhibition assays were evaluated by different extraction methods of Sappan Lignum. Methods : In our continuing investigation for bioactive natural ingredients, the antioxidant and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory properties of Sappan Lignum extracts were prepared from different extraction methods and the biological efficacies were investigated in vitro. The antioxidant properties were evaluated employing radical scavenging assays using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) ($ABTS^+$) radicals. In addition, the anti-diabetic effects of Sappan Lignum extracts were tested via ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ and AGEs formation inhibitory assay. The total phenolic contents were determined using a spectrophotometric method. Results : All the tested samples showed dose-dependent radical scavenging and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities. Among the tested extracts, the 80% methanolic extract of Sappan Lignum was showed the most potent activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of $82.3{\pm}1.7{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against DPPH radical scavenging assay. While, $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging activity of 80% methanolic extract was higher than those of other extracts. Also, ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory and AGEs formation effects of each extacts and total phenolic contents were evaluated. Conclusions : These results suggested that Sappan Lignum can be considered as a new effective source of natural antioxidant and anti-diabetic materials.
