1-Palmitoyl-$d_{31}$-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (POPC_$d_{31}$)로 이루어진 지질 이중막에 항균성 펩타이드 magainin 2와 aurein 3.3이 작용했을 때 일어나는 상변화를 중수소 고체 핵자기 공명 스펙트럼을 관측하여 탐구하였다. 측정된 중수소 고체 핵자기 공명 스펙트럼의 선모양을 이론적 모델 구조를 통하여 모사함으로써, 펩타이드-지질 혼합상태의 기하학적 구조상수 및 동력학적 표면 확산 계수 등을 구하였다. 펩타이드의 혼합 이후 5일 이내의 짧은 작용시간에는 지질 이중막의 정렬이 파괴되는 현상이 나타났으나, 100일 이후에는 magainin 2에 의해서는 타원형 원환체 기공 (elliptic toroidal pore)이, aurein 3.3에 의해서는 6각형 단면 막대구조 상(hexagonal phase)이 관측되었다. 지질 이중막 표면의 전하밀도가 항균성 펩타이드의 작용에 미치는 효과를 보기 위해 산성 지질인 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG)를 함유한 POPC_$d_{31}$/POPG 지질 이중막에 대해서도 동일한 실험을 수행하였다. 동일한 ${\alpha}$-나선형 구조를 가지는 두 펩타이드가 두 종류의 지질 이중막에 작용하는 과정의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

얇은 유리판 위에서 자동적으로 정렬되는 인지질 분자의 정렬도에 대한 수분 및 항균성 펩타이드의 효과를 고체 핵자기 공명 분광법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 순수한 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphotidylcholine (POPC) 인지질 만을 유리판 위에서 정렬시킬 때에는 직접적인 물의 투입 없이 95% 상대 습도에서 수일간 수화시키는 것만으로 충분했다. 하지만, protegrin-1 (PG-1)과 같은 항균성 펩타이드가 혼합되어 있는 인지질의 경우에는 95%의 상대 습도에서 수일간 수화시키는 것과 약간의 물을 시료에 직접 투입하여 수화시키는 것이 크게 달라진다는 것을 확인하였다. 충분한 양의 물이 투입되었을 때, 지질 이중막 위에서 인지질 분자들의 표면 움직임이 매우 활발하였다. 순수한 POPC 분자들이 얇은 유리판 위에서 정렬되는 시간에 비해 항균성 펩타이드가 혼합되어 있는 경우에는 POPC 분자들이 평형상을 이루어질 때까지는 상당한 시간이 필요함을 확인하였다.

Recently increasing attention has been focused on solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) as a parenteral drug carrier due to its numerous advantages that can come from both polymeric particle and fat emulsions, together with the possibility of controlled release and increasing drug stability. Lipophilic drugs such as paclitaxel, cyclosporin A, and all-trans retinoic acid have been successfully entrapped in SLN but the incorporation of hydrophilic drugs in SLN is very limited because of their very low affinity to the lipid. Therefore, as a new approach to improve the loading of hydrophilic drugs, a w/o/w emulsion technique has been developed. The primary objective of the current study was to improve the loading efficiency of a model hydrophilic drug, glycine (Log P = -3.44) into SLN. The proposed preparation process is as follows: A heated aqueous phase consisting of 0.1 ml of glycine solution in water (100 mg/ml), and poloxamer 188 (5 mg) were then added to a molten oil phase containing precirol (100 mg) and lecithin (5 mg). This mixture was dispersed by sonicator, leading to a w/o emulsion. A double emulsion (w/o/w) was formed after the addition of 2% poloxamer solution to the above dispersed system. After cooling the double emulsion, solid lipid nanosuspensions were successfully formed. The lipid nanoparticles had the mean particle size of 441.25 nm, and the average zeta potential of -20.98 mV. The drug loading efficiency was measured to be 8.54% and the drug loading amount was measured to be 0.92%. The w/o/w emulsion method showed an increased loading efficiency compared to conventional o/w emulsion method.

The effect of the trehalose incorporation on the biological membranes was investigated with respect to the phase of the membranes using the fluorescence intensity change. Spherical phospholipid bilayers, vesicles, were prepared only with the variation in the phase of each layer via a double emulsion technique. In the aqueous inside of the vesicles, 8-Aminonaphthalene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid disodium salt(ANTS) was encapsulated. As a quencher, p-Xylene-bis(N-pyridinium bromide)(DPX) was included in the buffer where the vesicles were dispersed. The fluorescence scale was calibrated with the fluorescence of ANTS vesicles in p-Xylene-bis(N-pyridinium bromide)(DPX)-included-buffer taken as 100% fluorescence and the mixture of ANTS and DPX in the buffer as 0% fluorescence. Trehalose injection into the vesicle solution led the distortion of the membrane. It was found that the distortion was related to the phase of each layer the vesicle up on the ratio of trehalose to lipid. In the identical measurements at glucose, the behavior of the distortion was completely different from that of trehalose. These results seem to depend on the stability of the vesicles, due to the osmotic and volumetric effects on the headgroup packing disruption.

5% corn oil과 17 mM Brji 700으로 제조한 oil-in-water emulsion(O/W)에서 과량의 잉여 surfactant가 phenol이 첨가된 O/W의 산화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 Brji 700을 $0{\sim}2%$의 농도로 O/W에 첨가한 경우, 첨가된 surfactant의 양이 증가할수록 droplet의 particle size는 커지는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 continuous phase의 surfactant 농도도 높아지며 phenol 함량도 상대적으로 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. Phenol류가 100 ppm의 농도로 첨가된 O/W에 과량의 surfactant$(0{\sim}2%)$를 첨가하고 30일간 저장 기간별 hydroperoxide의 생성량을 측정한 결과, 대조구에 비해 낮은 hydroperoxide 함량을 보여 surfactant를 첨가하지 않은 실험구와 유사한 경향을 보였으나, hydroperoxide 함량은 surfactant를 추가하지 않은 실험구 보다 더 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 phenol 종류 및 surfactant 농도별 hydroperoxide 생성억제 효과와 headspace aldehyde 생성 억제 효과는 BHT>procyanidin B3-3-O-gallate>(+)-gallocatechin>(+)-catechin 및 2%>1%>0% surfactant 첨가의 순서로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 phenol성 물질과 과량의 surfactant micelle에 의해 emulsion으로부터 continuous phase로 hydroperoxide의 physical location 변화가 발생하는 것을 나타낸다.

A 16-residue polypeptide model with the sequence acetyl-YALSLAATLLKEAASL-OH was derived by rational de novo peptide design. The designed sequence consists of amino acid residues with high propensity to adopt an alpha helical conformation, and sequential order was arranged to produce an amphipathic surface. The designed sequence was chemically synthesized using a solid-phase method and the polypeptide was purified by reverse-phase liquid chromatography. Molecular mass analysis by electro-spray ionization mass spectroscopy confirmed the correct designed sequence. Structural characterization by circular dichroism spectroscopy demonstrated that the peptide adopts the expected alpha helical conformation in 50% acetonitrile solution. Liposome binding assay using Small Unilamellar Vesicle (SUV) showed a marked release of entrapped glucose by interaction between the lipid membrane and the tested peptide. The channel-forming activity of the peptide was revealed by a planar lipid bilayer experiment. An analysis of the conducting current at various applied potentials suggested that the peptide forms a cationic ion channel with an intrinsic conductance of 188 pS. These results demonstrate that a simple rational de novo design can be successfully employed to create short peptides with desired structures and functions.

In this study, the culture conditions for Porphyridium cruentum were optimized to obtain the maximum biomass and lipid productions. The eicosapentaenoic acid content was increased by pH optimization. P. cruentum was cultured with modified F/2 medium in 14-L photobioreactors using a two-phase culture system, in which the green (520 nm) and red (625 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were used during the first and second phases for biomass production and lipid production, respectively. Various parameters, including aeration rate, light intensity, photoperiod, and pH were optimized. The maximum biomass concentration of 0.91 g dcw/l was obtained with an aeration rate of 0.75 vvm, a light intensity of 300 μmol m-2s-1, and a photoperiod of 24:0 h. The maximum lipid production of 51.8% (w/w) was obtained with a light intensity of 400 μmol m-2s-1 and a photoperiod of 18:6 h. Additionally, the eicosapentaenoic acid and unsaturated fatty acid contents reached 30.6% to 56.2% at pH 6.0.

As part of a continuing investigation to identify free radical scavengers from the fruit bodies of basidiomycetes, we isolated two p-terphenyl compounds, designated as PAl and PA2l, from cethanolic extract of the fruit body of Pasillus panuoides. The methanolic extract was processed by ethyl acetate extraction and silica gel column chromatography to yield two active fraction. PAl was obtained from one of the fractions through Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel column chromatographies and reverse-phase HPLC. The other fraction was purified by Sephadex LH-20 and reverse-phase column chromatographies to produce PA2. The compounds PA1 and PA2 were identified as leucomentin-4 and leucomentin-2, respectively, on the basis of various spectroscopic analyses. These compounds exhibited strong inhibitory activities against lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes with IC_{50}$ values of 0.10 and $0.06{\;}\mu\textrm{g}ml$, respectively.

Antioxidative ability of anthocyanins in water-in-oil microemulsion was examined. Microemulsion was prepared by solubilizing crude anthocyanins extracted from grape skin (Cambell early) in organic solvent (hexane) containing anionic surfactant [bis (2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate, AOT] and linolenic acid (10%, w/v). Lipid oxidation significantly decreased with increasing concentration of anthocyanins ($5-20\;{\mu}M$) at micellar phase, and increasing micelle size ($Wo=5-20\;{\mu}M$). At given micelle size (Wo=10), lipid oxidation decreased as number of micelles decreased. These results indicate antioxidative ability of anthocyanins is critically affected by water core and micelle structure formed by surfactant. Interactions between AOT and anthocyanins decreased antioxidative ability of anthocyanins. Antioxidative ability of anthocyanins significantly increased when ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was added into organic phase. This indicates of synergism between the two antioxidants.

얇은 유리판 위에 잘 정렬된 인지질 이중막에 작용하는 항균성 펩타이드 protegrin-1의 활성작용을 고체 $^2H$ 핵자기 공명 분광법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 수화 전후에 있어서 인지질 분자의 배향분포와 그 운동성을 고체 $^2H$ 핵자기 공명 스펙트럼을 통하여 확인하였다. 진공으로 건조된 상태에서는 인지질 분자의 운동성이 작다는 사실 외에는 인지질 분자들의 배향분포에 대한 정확한 상태를 알 수 없었다. 그러나 시료가 수화된 이후에는 시간이 지남에 따라 인지질 분자들이 잘 정렬되어 간다는 것과 원환체 기공이 형성되어 간다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Protegrin-1과 같은 항균성 펩타이드에 의한 인지질 이중막 변화를 본 연구논문에서 사용한 방법으로 확인하기 위해서는 상당히 긴 반응시간이 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다.
