Generally, normal cells synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. However, they produce ATP through lactic acid fermentation on hypoxic condition. Interestingly, many cancer cells rely on aerobic glycolysis for ATP generation instead of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, which is termed as "Warburg effect". According to results from recent researches on differences of cancer cell metabolism from normal cell metabolism and because chemotherapy to suppress rapidly growing cells, as a side effect of cancer treatment, can still target healthy cells, there is merit in the development of small-molecule inhibitors targeting metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and monocarboxylate transporter (MCT). For new anticancer therapy, in this review, we show recent advances in study on cancer cell metabolism and molecules targeting metabolic enzymes which are importantly associated with cancer metabolism for cancer therapy. Furthermore, we would also like to emphasize the necessity of development of molecules targeting metabolic enzymes using herbal medicines and their constituents for anticancer drugs.

Rice wine was prepared with medicinal plants or plant extracts to obtain a value added nutritious alcoholic tonics. Powders of ten medicinal plants (PTM) or aqueous extracts prepared from them (ATM) were added during the initial stage of fermentation. Aroma compounds of rice wine (control) and wines containing PTM or ATM were isolated by liquid-liquid continuous solvent extraction (LLCSE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-olfactometry and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Desirable aroma compounds: acetaldehyde (sweet, ethereal), benzaldehyde (sweet, fragrant), ethyl acetate (sweet) and ethyl octanoate (sweet, ethanolic) had the highest log$_3$-flavor dilution (FD) factors in ATM. Results of sensory evaluation demonstrated that intensities of undesirable aroma attributes, such as koji and yeasty notes in control, and raw medicinal herb notes in PTM, were lowest in wine with ATM. Wines made with ATM had the most attractive aroma attributes among the three different traditional Korean medicinal wines.

The enzyme expressed from strain L-49 was 2.01 times higher than that of original strain. Strain L-49 can grow on culture plate with $50{\mu}g/mL$ ampicillin. The synthesis of $\alpha$-amylase was greatly suppressed when strain L-49 was grown on monosaccharide such as glucose and polysaccharide at the same time cell concentration was low. Amylase production was enhanced when the bacterium was grown on starch and dextrin. Among different nitrogen sources tried, yeast extract was found to be the best followed by panpeptone, peptone, meat extract, bean meal, and corn steep liquor. The average rate of enzyme production was enhanced for 3~4 times in fermentation time from 24h to 44h. The sugar uptake rate has also increased. Low oxygen supply rate enhanced the rate of strain propagation but depressed the enzyme production. Hence it is benefit to obtain high enzyme activity that agitation speed maintained not lower than 400r/min and aeration rate maintained greater than 1:1vvm.

This study was performed to evaluate enhanced effect of fermented Galgeun tang (GGT) and Ssanghwa tang (SHT) on the anti-platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation assay was performed In vitro using human platelet rich plasma(PRP) and In vivo using SD-rat plasma by platelet aggregometer. Pharmacodynamic parameters, $E_{max}$ and $EC_{50}$, were calculated using Winnolin. SD-rats administered 1 g/kg of oriental medicine every 12 hr for 8 days. Platelet aggregation was measured by optical method with collagen inducer (4 ${\mu}g$/ml). In In vitro anti-platelet study, $EC_{50}$ of GGT-A was lower than that of GGT-con about 79.13 ${\mu}g$/ml. And $EC_{50}$ of SHT-A and SHT-B was lower than that of SHT-con about 122.73 and 110.15 ${\mu}g$/ml, respectively. It is assumed that fermented GGT and SHT were more effective than original medicine. In multiple administration study, anti-platelet effect was significantly increased both GGT and SHT. Fermented GGT and SHT were more effective than original herbal medicine on anti-platelet aggregation.

The aim of this study was to develop rice wine (Yakju) containing various amounts and particle sizes of ginseng powder and to analyze the physicochemical characteristics and content of ginsenosides in ginseng-Yakju. Soluble solid content, pH, ethanol concentration, acidity, amino acid content, and evaluation of preference showed no difference between four kinds of Yakju groups, regardless of ginseng supplementation and particle size of the ginseng powder. During fermentation of Yakju containing ginseng, the contents of ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, and Rc were decreased. Otherwise, the content of ginsenoside Rh1 was increased highly by brewing microorganisms in Yakju. Recovery ratios of ginsenosides in ginseng-Yakju were approximately 25.4% (coarse ginseng power) and 23.8% (fine ginseng powder), which were superior to the recovery ratio of ginsenosides in Yakju containing ginseng slices (5%).

양송이 폐상배지의 퇴비 활용성을 검토하고자 유기물원 2종류, 질소원 3종류를 각각 혼용하여 퇴비화과정을 거쳐 퇴비의 이화학적 특성 및 미생물상의 변화를 조사하였다. 처리별 자재 혼용비율은 퇴비의 기준인 유기물 함량 25%이상 함유되도록 조절하였다. 유기물원은 톱밥이 볏짚보다 높았으며, 질소원은 계분 >> 돈분 > 우분 순 340 경기천 이희덕 정영필 장갑열 윤민호으로 높았다. 발효기간 동안 폐배지+돈분+볏짚 처리구는 빠른 온도 변화를 보였으며, 폐배지3:톱밥9:돈분1 (MSP) 처리구는 발효 중간까지 온도상승이 지속적으로 유지되는 결과를 보였다. 또한 pH는 초기에 8.5~9.0으로 높게 유지되다가 종료시점에 7.5 수준으로 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 발효 후 유기물함량 변화는 볏짚 처리구는 19~21% 수준으로 감소되었으나, 톱밥을 처리할 경우 25~27% 수준을 유지하였고, 그 중 폐배지3:톱밥9:계분1 (MSF)에서 유기물 26.2% 와, 질소 0.68%로 가장 높았다. 탄소원으로 볏짚을 사용한 경우 퇴비제조 후 부피가 절반으로 줄어든 반면 톱밥은 30% 정도밖에 줄어들지 않았다. 퇴비제조 후 미생물상 변화는 탄소원의 경우 볏짚 처리구가 톱밥 처리구보다 전반적으로 개체수가 많았으며, 특히 호기성세균, Gram 음성균, Bacillus 등이 많았고, 질소원은 계분 > 돈분 > 우분 순으로 미생물 개체수가 많았다. 생균수는 퇴비 발효 전 보다 $1{\times}10^1{\sim}1{\times}10^2\;cfu\;g^{-1}$ 수준으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 양송이폐상배지를 이용한 퇴비 제조 시 폐배지3:톱밥9:계분1 (MSF 3:9:1 v/v/v) 처리에서 높은 유기물과 질소원으로 양질의 퇴비가 되었으며 퇴비발효기간은 50~60일이었다.
