For biotechnological production of high-valued ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside, the catalytic properties of Hanseniaspora thailandica BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase purified from the periplasmic fraction were studied, and the transglycosylation activity for the production of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside was optimized. The constitutive BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase exhibited maximum specific activity at pH 6.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, and the activity of BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase was not significantly inhibited by various metal ions. BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase did not show a significant activity of cellobiose hydrolysis, but the activity was rather enhanced in the presence of sucrose and medium-chain alcohols. BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase exhibited enhanced production of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside in the presence of DMSO, and 62% of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside conversion was recorded in 4 h in the presence of 5% 1-hexanol and 15% DMSO.

While searching for ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitors, the active compound was found in a methanol extract of Burthus martensi Kirsch. The separation of the active compound was performed using various chromatography methods and the physico-chemical properties of the purified compound were characterized. The compound showed very potent inhibitory activity against ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ with an $IC_{50}$ value of $5.3\;{\mu}g/ml$. Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that its inhibition of ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ was competitive.

A total of 106 Penicillium species were tested to examine their ability of degrading cellobiose, pectin and xylan. The activity of ${\beta}$-glucosidase was generally strong in all the Penicillium species tested. P. citrinum, P. charlesii, P. manginii and P. aurantiacum showed the higher ability of producing ${\beta}$-glucosidase than other tested species. Pectinase activity was detected in 24 Penicillium species. P. paracanescens, P. sizovae, P. sartoryi, P. chrysogenum, and P. claviforme showed strong pectinase activity. In xylanase assay, 84 Penicillium species showed activity. Strong xylanase activity was detected from P. megasporum, P. sartoryi, P. chrysogenum, P. glandicola, P. discolor, and P. coprophilum. Overall, most of the Penicillium species tested showed strong ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity. The degree of pectinase and xylanase activity varied depending on Penicillium species.

An ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor, SKG-3, was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum and its physico-chemical properties were characterized. It was a highly specific and effective reversible inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. It showed very potent inhibitory activity against a-glucosidase with an IC$\sub$50/ value of 4.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, but no activity for any other glycosidases tested. Enzyme activity could be recovered upon dialysis, thus providing evidence for the reversibility of the inhibition. A Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that the SKG-3 inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was competitive.

본 연구는 마전자(Strychnos nux-vomica) 추출물의 항산화 활성 및 $\alpha$-glucosidase 저해활성을 측정하였다. 먼저, 마전자를 각각의 용매로 추출하여 페놀 함량을 알아본 결과 100 g당 SNM에서 71.43 mg을 함유하고 있으며, SNE에서는 24.51 mg, SNA에서는 11.17 mg을 함유하고 있었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 SNM, SNE가 1 mg/mL의 농도에서 50% 정도의 활성을 나타내 항산화 효과가 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 $200\;{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$에 의한 DNA 손상에 대해 마전자 추출물의 보호 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. SNM의 $\alpha$-glucosidase 저해활성 측정 시 SNM 1 mg/mL의 농도에서 12.8%의 억제 활성을 나타내었고, SNM 처리시간을 증가시킬 경우 그 활성도가 유의적으로 증가하는 것을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 마전자 추출물의 항산화 활성 및 SNM의 $\alpha$-glucosidase 억제 활성을 확인할 수 있었다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Jerusalem artichoke has inhibitory activity against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and decreases fasting serum glucose levels, which may be related to its fructan content. The biological activity of fructan can be influenced by the degree of polymerization. Thus, in this study, the inhibitory effects of original and fermented purple Jerusalem artichoke (PJA) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were compared in vitro. Additionally, the anti-diabetes effect of Lactobacillus plantarum-fermented PJA (LJA) was studied in a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus animal model (C57BIKsJ db/db). MATERIALS/METHODS: The water extract of PJA was fermented by L. plantarum, and two strains of Bacillus subtilis to compare their anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activities in vitro by ${\alpha}$-glucosidase assays. The anti-diabetes effect of LJA was studied in a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus animal model (C57BIKsJ db/db) for seven weeks. During the experiment, food intake, body weight, and fasting blood glucose were measured every week. At the end of the treatment period, several diabetic parameters and the intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity were measured. RESULTS: The LJA showed the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro. In the in vivo study, it resulted in a significantly lower blood glucose concentration than the control. Serum insulin and HDL cholesterol levels were significantly higher and the concentrations of triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids, and total cholesterol were significant lower in mice treated with LJA after seven weeks. In addition, the intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was partially inhibited. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that LJA regulates blood glucose and has potential use as a dietary supplement.

This study investigated the inhibitory activities of 2-hydroxyquinoline and its analogs against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. Based on the $IC_{50}$ values of 2-hydroxyquinoline analogs tested against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase, 2-hydroxyquinoline had potent inhibitory activity (64.4 and $130.5{\mu}g/mL$, respectively), while 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline showed weakly inhibitory activity (90.7 and $215.4{\mu}g/mL$, respectively). 2-Methylquinoline demonstrated no activity against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. In conclusion, 2-hydroxyquinoline analogs, with the existence of a methyl group and hydroxyl on quinoline, can be useful as a new diabetes treatment.

For the production of nonprotein $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitor from the Streptomyces sp. NS15 strain, effects of initial optimum pH, nitrogen sources, carbon sources, cationic metal ions, agitation speed and aeration rate were investigated. Initial optimum pH of medium was 7.0. The most effective nitrogen and carbon sources were soybean meal 2.0%(w/v) and glucose 1.6%(w/v), respectively. The cationic metal ins had no stimulating effect on inhibitory activity of $\alpha$-glucosidase except Fe2+. Agitation speed and aeration rate were effective at 400rpm and 1vvm, respectively. In the jar-fermenter cultivation for 4 days under optimal culture conditions, the culture broth showed the inhibitory acitivity of 3,200units/ml, which is 25 times higher than that of basic medium (CYM) for porcine intestinal $\alpha$-glucosidase. The inhibitory activity of $\alpha$-glucosidase reached about 3,200units/ml after 4 days of cultivation and decreased gradually for a further two days.

In the current study, inhibitory activity of 8 selected Korean edible plants of Lamiaceae family against $\alpha$-glucosidases, prepared from rat small intestine acetone powder was evaluated. Total flavonoids and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) were also investigated. Methyl alcohol extracts of Scutellaria indica (SI) had the highest $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity relevant for potentially managing hyperglycemia, followed by Clinopodium gracile (CG) and Thymus quinquecostatus (TQ). These 3 species also showed significant antioxidant activity in ORAC system. The $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the extracts was compared to selected phenolics. Among the standard phenolics tested quercetin which was major flavonoid in the extracts had the highest $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitory activity. CG, TQ, and SI which had high quercetin content and ORAC values also exhibited significant sucrase inhibitory activity. Results suggested that selected 3 Korean Lamiaceae species have the potential development of effective dietary strategy for postprandial hyperglycemia and oxidative stress-linked diabetes complications.
