Protocatechualdehyde (PA)는 항산화 활성과 항암 활성을 가진 페놀성 물질이다. Streptomyces lincolnensis M-20 균주에서 생산된 PA를 균주 상등액에서 분리, 정제하였다. 항산화 활성을 가진 PA가 구리 이온 존재 하에서는 산화촉진제로 작용하였다. 항산화 활성은 DPPH를 이용한 방법으로 측정하였으며, 구리 이온 존재 하에서 PA의 산화 촉진 작용은 pBR322 플라스미드의 DNA 절단 작용으로 측정하였다. DNA 손상으로 생성되는 활성산소 종의 확인은 활성 산소종의 포집자인 글루타치온에 의해 DNA 절단이 억제되는 것으로 확인하였다. PA와 구리 이온의 복합체 형성은 금속 이온의 킬레이트인 EDTA가 존재할 경우와 존재하지 않을 경우를 자외선/가시광선 분광학적 분석법으로 비교, 확인하였다.

This study was designed to investigate the properties related to browning of hot water and 80% ethanol extracts of green tea (Camellia sinensis) and propolis. The extracts were assessed for polyphenol oxidase (PPO) inhibitory activity and total phenolic and flavonoid contents. In addition, apples were cut into 15 mm thick slices and dipped for 1 min in 0.5% of the green tea extracts and the propolis solutions and stored at room temperature for 24 h. The PPO inhibitory activity of the green tea extracts was better than that of the propolis. The highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity (90.81%), total phenol contents (170.42 mg/mL) and the metal chelating effects (45.93%) were measured in the green tea hot water extracts. The mineral content of the green tea water extracts was 69,328.44 ppm potassium and 2,409.42 ppm magnesium. After 24 h, the ${\Delta}E$ value of the apple slices treated with the green tea water extracts was the lowest (1.35). The antibrowning effects of the green tea extracts were higher than those of propolis in the apple slices.

The active sites of the nickel and iron-containing enzyme, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) from clostridium thermoaceticum were investigated using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) technique. CODH exhibits several spectral features called NiFeC, $g_{ave}=1.82$, $g_{ave}=1.86$. FCII signals which are originated from different clusters in this enzyme. CODH is know to catalyze two different kinds of reactions - acetyl-CoA synthesis and CO oxidation. The acetyl-CoA synthesis activity can be followed by monitoring CO/acetyl-CoA exchange. The addition of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) to CODH selectively destroyed the CO/acetyl-CoA exchange activity and eliminated the NiFeC signal completely. CO oxidation activity and other EPR signals were unaffected. Such behavior demonstrates that CODH has two distinct active sites and that the NiFe complex is only responsible for the CO/acctyl-CoA exchange activity. Phen caused the removal of only 30% of Ni in the NiFe complex ($0.3Ni/{\alpha}{\beta}$) as shown by the quantitative metal analysis. The phen-treated CODH could be reactivated fully by incubation In $Ni^{2+}$ solution. Radioactive $^{63}Ni^{2+}$ was used to quantitate the amount of the $Ni^{2+}$ incorporated into phen-treated enzyme and showed that the amount was the same as the removed by the phen treatment. i.e. $0.3Ni/{\alpha}{\beta}$. This indicates that only 30% of NiFe complexes are labile and responsible for the CO/acctyl-CoA exchange activity, the other 70% are non-labile and have no exchange activity. This is the first clear evidence that the NiFe complex is heterogencous and labile and non-labile Ni sites arc interacting differently with substrates and chelating agents like phen.

$Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}(OH)_2$ powders have been synthesized in a continuously stirred tank reactor via a co-precipitation reaction between aqueous metal sulfates and NaOH using $NH_4OH$ as a chelating agent. The co-precipitation temperature is varied in the range of $30-80^{\circ}C$. Calcination of the prepared precursors with $Li_2CO_3$ for 8 h at $1000^{\circ}C$ in air results in Li $Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}O_2$ powders. Two kinds of obtained powders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, particle size analyzer, and tap density measurements. The co-precipitation temperature does not differentiate the XRD patterns of precursors as well as their final powders. Precursor powders are spherical and dense, consisting of numerous acicular or flaky primary particles. The precursors obtained at 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ possess bigger primary particles having more irregular shapes than those at lower temperatures. This is related to the lower tap density measured for the former. The final powders show a similar tendency in terms of primary particle shape and tap density. Electrochemical characterization shows that the initial charge/discharge capacities and cycle life of final powders from the precursors obtained at 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ are inferior to those at $50^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that the optimum co-precipitation temperature is around $50^{\circ}C$.

실험에서는 구절초를 꽃, 잎 줄기, 뿌리 등의 부위별로 구분하여 메탄올로 추출하고 추출 수율, 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량, DPPH radical 소거능, ABTS radical 소거능, superoxide anion radical 소거능, 아질산염소거능, 철 이온에 대한 킬레이트 효과, 환원력 등을 측정하였다. 추출 수율은 꽃이 가장 높았고 총 폴리페놀 함량은 꽃에서 가장 높게 나타났고 뿌리에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. DPPH radical 소거능과 ABTS radical 소거능은 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였고 꽃과 잎 줄기가 뿌리보다 높은 소거능을 나타내었다. Superoxide anion radical 소거활성도 추출물의 농도 증가에 따라 증가하여 꽃 부위가 가장 높게 나타났으나 DPPH나 ABTS radical 소거활성보다는 다소 낮은 수치를 보였다. 철 이온에 대한 킬레이트 효과는 추출물의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였고 꽃에서 가장 높게 나타났고 뿌리에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 환원력은 꽃과 잎 줄기에서 높게 나타났고 뿌리에서 낮게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 총 폴리페놀 함량이 가장 높은 구절초 꽃이 높은 항산화활성을 보였고 그 다음으로 잎 줄기가 활성을 보임으로써 향후 천연 항산화제로서의 개발 가능성이 시시되었다.

LB10522 is a new parenteral broad spectrum cephalosporin with a catechol moiety at C-7 position of beta-lactam ring. This compound can utilize tonB-dependent iron transp ort system in addition to porin proteins to enter bacterial periplasmic space and access to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which are the lethal targets of ${\beta}$-lactam antibiotics. The chelating activity of LB10522 to metal iron was measured by spectrophotometrically scanning the absorbance from 200 to 900nm. When $FeCl_3$ was added, optical density was increased between 450 and 800nm. LB10522 was more active against gram-negative strains in iron-depleted media than in iron-replete media. This is due to the increased expression of iron transport channels in iron-depleted condition. LB10522 showed a similar activity against E. coli DC2 (permeability mutant) and E. coli DCO (wild type strain) in both iron-depleted and iron-replete media, indicating a minimal permeaility barrier for LB10522 uptake. LB10522 had high affinities to PBP 3 and PBP 1A, 1B of E. coli. By blocking these proteins, LB10522 caused inhibition of cell division and the eventual death of cells. This result was correlated well with the morphological changes in E. coli exposed to LB10522. Although the in vitro MIC of LB10522 against P. aeruginosa 1912E mutant (tonB) was 8-times higher than that of the P. aeruginosa 1912E parent strain, LB10522 showed a similar in vivo protection efficacy against both strains in the mouse systemic infection model. This result suggested that tonB mutant, which requires a high level of iron for normal growth, might have a difficulty in surviving in their host with an iron-limited environment.

Three novel potential metal ion chelating units have been synthesized and characterized: 5-hexylcarbamoyl-3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5), 3-benzyloxy-4-hydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid bis-hexylamide (6), and 3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid bis-hexylamide (7). The crystal structure of 6 was obtained and suggests the presence of three distinct intramolecular hydrogen bonds, namely $[N_{amide}-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}O]$ $[O-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}O_{amide}]$ and $[N_{amide}-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}S]$. Boron chelation with 5, 6 and 7 through the use of $BF_3, \;B(OH)_3 \;or \;B(OMe)_3$ was probed by $^1H$, $^{11}B$, and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy. Technetium (I) chelation with 5, 6 and 7 was also studied via HPLC elutions using $[^{99m}Tc(CO)_3(OH_2)_3]^+$.

Muscle-based by-products are often undervalued although commonly reported having a high amount of natural bioactive peptides. In this study, elastin was isolated from the protein of broiler hen skin while its hydrolysate was prepared using Elastase. Assessment of antioxidative properties of elastin-based hydrolysate (EBH) was based on three different assays; 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) radical, 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical and metal chelating ability. The EBH was purified further using ultrafiltration, gel filtration and Reverse- Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). The IC₅₀ of ABTS radical activities for EBH were decreased as EBH further purified using ultrafiltration (EBH III; 0.66 mg/mL)>gel filtration (EB-II; 0.42 mg/mL)>RP-HPLC (EB-II4; 0.12 mg/mL). The sequential identification of the peptide was done by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/ TOF-MS) of the potent fractions obtained from RP-HPLC (EB-II4). The presence of hydrophobic amino acids (Val and Pro) in the peptide sequences could potentially contribute to the high antioxidant activity of EBH. The sequences GAHTGPRKPFKPR, GMPGFDVR and ADASVLPK were identified as antioxidant peptides. In conclusion, the antioxidative potential from poultry skin specifically from elastin is evident and can be explored to be used in many applications such as health and pharmaceutical purposes.

The exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens GSBa-1 was isolated and purified by ethanol precipitation, and DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose CL-6B chromatographies. The molecular mass of the purified EPS was determined to be 54 kDa. Monosaccharide analysis showed that the EPS was composed of predominantly glucose, and it was further confirmed by NMR spectroscopy to be ${\alpha}-glucan$ that consisted of a trisaccharide repeating unit with possible presence of two ${\alpha}-(1{\rightarrow}3)$ and one ${\alpha}-(1{\rightarrow}6)$ glucosidic linkages. Microstructural analysis showed that the EPS appeared as ellipsoid or globose with a smooth surface. The EPS had a degradation temperature at $240^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the EPS had strong DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, and moderate superoxidant anion scavenging and metal ion-chelating activities. This is the first characterization of a glucan produced by B. amyloliquefaciens with strong antioxidant activity. The results of this study suggest the potential of the EPS from B. amyloliquefaciens GSBa-1 to serve as a natural antioxidant for application in functional products.

Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) preserved in syrup, known as ginseng Jung Kwa (GJK), is a popular traditional snack in Korea. We investigated the effects of heat processing time on total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of GJK. Water extract was prepared from GJK with different heat processing times, 3 hours (GJK-3), 6 hours (GJK-6), or 12 hours (GJK-12), with sonication for 2 hours. The GJK extract contained total phenolic content in the following order: GJK-12 (2.28%)>GJK-6 (1.57%)>GJK-3 (1.29%). Both the peroxy and hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity and cellular antioxidant capacity of GJK extract was significantly enhanced with increasing heat processing time. The hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity of GJK-12 extract was greater than that of the GJK-3 and GJK-6 extracts, consistent with metal chelating capacity and reducing capacity. In a cellular model, the GJK extract effectively reduced 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride, $Cu^{2+}$-, and $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress, with GJK-12 and GJK-6 extracts demonstrating greater cellular antioxidant capacity than the GJK-3 extract. These results suggest that heat processing time can contribute to the antioxidant capacity of GJK and that GJK extract may have the potential to be used as an effective dietary antioxidant to prevent oxidative stress-related diseases.
