Purpose: Edible insect extracts have been used as an alternative source for medicinal supplements due to their significant antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activity. Recent studies have reported that anti-microbial peptides from insects have neuroprotective effects on dopamine toxins. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective functions of mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) extract (MWE) on N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced cellular toxicity in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Methods: Cellular toxicity induced by the MPTP toxin and the impact of MWE on cell survival were analyzed using MTT assays. DAPI staining was performed to observe apoptotic phenomena caused by MPTP. Changes in caspase-3 activity and protein expression were observed using enzyme activity assays and western blot assays, respectively. Results: MWE exerted significant antioxidant activity, which was measured by both DPPH and ABTS radical assays, with a dose-dependent relationship. Furthermore, MWE resulted in cellular proliferation in SHSY5Y cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, MWE pretreatment significantly inhibited MPTP-induced cytotoxicity, with a dose-dependent relationship. The morphological characteristics of apoptosis and increased reactive oxygen species induced by MPTP were also significantly reduced by MWE pretreatment. Conclusion: MWE treatment significantly attenuated MPTP-induced changes in the levels of proteins associated with apoptosis, such as caspase-3 and PARP. These findings suggest that MWE exerts neuroprotective effects on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells subject to MPTP-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration.

제주도에서 생산된 로즈마리(Rosmarinus officinalis L.)와 라벤더(Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) 두 종의 허브 에센셜 오일과 하이드로졸 성분을 GC-MS로 분석하였다. 로즈마리 에센셜 오일에는 ${\alpha}$-pinene (40.96%)의 함량이 가장 높았으며, 라벤더 에센셜 오일에는 camphor (34.44%)가 가장 높았다. 로즈마리 하이드로졸에는 verbenone이 (45.31%) 가장 높게 나타났으며, 라벤더 하이드로졸에서는 camphor (67.04%)로 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 로즈마리와 라벤더 에센셜 오일과 하이드로졸의 항산화 효능을 검증해 본 결과, 두 종류의 에센셜 오일 모두 DPPH, ABTS 라디칼 소거능과, $Fe^{2+}$ ion 킬레이팅 활성을 나타냈으나, alkyl 소거능은 거의 나타나지 않았다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 로즈마리 에센셜 오일이 라벤더 에센셜 오일보다 우수한 반면, $Fe^{2+}$ ion 킬레이팅 실험에서는 라벤더 에센셜 오일이 로즈마리 에센셜 오일보다 더 우수했다. 로즈마리, 라벤더 하이드로졸 모두 alkyl 라디칼 소거능을 나타냈으나, 라벤더 하이드로졸만이 $Fe^{2+}$ ion 소거능을 나타냈다. 특히 $H_2O_2$에 의해 유도된 Fibroblast와 HaCaT에서의 세포독성 실험에서 하이드로졸이 에센셜 오일보다 우수한 세포사멸 억제능을 나타냈다.

A novel benzoyl glucoside (4) and 13 known phenolic compounds were isolated from the leaves of Camellia japonica by a guided 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. The structure of 4 was determined to be 4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenol 1-O-$\beta$-D-(6'-O-p-hydroxylbenzoyl)-glucopyranoside (camelliadiphenoside). The 13 known compounds were identified as (E)-coniferyl alcohol (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), 4-hydroxyphenol 1-O-$\beta$-D-(6-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl) glucopyranoside (3), naringenin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (5), quercetin 3-O-$\beta$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$6)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (6), kaempferol 3-O-$\beta$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$6)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (7), (+)-catechin (8), 1,6-di-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (9), phloretin 2'-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (10), quercetin 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (11), quercetin 3-O-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside (12), kaempferol 3-O-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside (13), and kaempferol 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (14). Their chemical structures were determined by the spectroscopic data of fast atom bondardment mass spectrometry (FABMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Flavonoids having the catechol moiety showed significantly higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than other isolated compounds having monohydroxy phenyl group.

리튬이온 이차전지에는 폴리에틸렌 격리막이 주로 사용되어 오고 있다. 전지의 고온 안정성 확보를 위해서는 폴리에틸렌 격리막보다 높은 멜트다운(melt down) 온도를 갖는 격리막이 요구된다. 이를 위해 폴리에틸렌 격리막을 단량체인 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropoxy)phenyl]propane(bis-GMA) 혹은 이의 유도체들로 코팅하고 이를 라디칼 중합반응시켰다. 점도가 높은 bis-GMA를 사용한 경우에는 라디칼 중합반응이 진행되지 않은 반면 점도가 낮은 bis-GMA 유도체를 사용한 경우에는 라디칼 중합반응이 진행되었다. 적절한 함량의 bis-GMA 유도체를 포함한 반응액으로 격리막을 코팅하고 이를 중합반응시켜 격리막을 제조한 결과, 격리막의 통기도 감소없이 멜트다운 온도를 $160^{\circ}C$까지 향상시킬 수 있었다.

The antioxidant activities of sesame cake extracts prepared using ethanol and hot water were evaluated. Seventy percent-ethanol extracts yielded the highest total phenolic (96.56 mg/g extract) and flavonoid (8.35 mg/g extract) contents. In the ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching and ferric thiocyanate test, 30%-, 50%-, and 70%-ethanol extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity than that exhibited by 90%-ethanol extracts. However, 90%-ethanol extracts showed greater antioxidant activities in phenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical scavenging test and thiobarbituric acid test using corn oil. The antioxidant activities of sesame cake extracts did not correlate with the total phenolic and flavonoid contents; however, the results suggest that oxidative stability may be improved by sesame cake extracts.

Copolymers of phenyl alkyl acrylates/methacrylates are used clinically as soft materials for the foldable intraocular lens (IOL) to treat cataracts. In this study, copolymers of 2-phenylethyl acrylate (PEA) and 2-phenylethyl methacrylate (PEMA) of various compositions were prepared using free radical polymerization in solution. The composition of the copolymers was determined by $^1H$-NMR analysis. The reactivity ratios of the monomers were calculated using the conventional Fineman-Ross or Kelen-Tudos method. The reactivity ratio of PEA ($r_1$) and PEMA ($r_2$) were estimated to be 0.280 and 2.085 using the Kelen-Tudos method, respectively. These values suggest that PEMA is more reactive in copolymerization than PEA, and the copolymers will have a higher content of PEMA units. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the copolymers increased with increasing PEMA content. The molecular weight and polydispersity indices ($M_w/M_n$) of the polymers were determined by GPC. Overall, these results are expected to be quite useful in applications to foldable soft IOL materials.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the direct antioxidative effect of 90 Kda heat shock protein (Hsp90) obtained from duck muscle. Methods: The interaction of Hsp90 with phospholipids and oxidized phospholipids was studied with surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and their further oxidation in the presence of Hsp90 was evaluated with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay. The scavenging effect on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) was measured, and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in combination with 5-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide and 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5,-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO) was utilized to determine the abilities of Hsp90 in scavenging hydroxyl and PTIO radicals. Results: SPR showed Hsp90 could bind with both phospholipids and oxidized phospholipids, and prevent their further oxidation by the TBARS assay. The DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity increased with Hsp90 concentration, and could reach 27% and 20% respectively at the protein concentration of 50 μM. The EPR spectra demonstrated Hsp90 could directly scavenge ·OH and PTIO· radicals. Conclusion: This suggests that Hsp90, a natural antioxidant in meat, may play an important role in cellular defense against oxidative stress, and may have potential use in meat products.

A novel mononuclear supramolecule of copper(II) has been synthesized with Ippyt ligand (Ippyt=3-(4'-imidazole phenyl)-5-(pyrid-2''-yl)-1,2,4-triazole) (1). Compound 1, namely [$Cu(Ippyt)_2(H_2O)_2$], has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Structure determination reveals that the elongated-octahedral geometry is formed in the vicinity of the copper (II) atom being coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from two Ippyt ligands occupying the equatorial position and two oxygen atoms from two coordinated water molecules in the axial position, which together form the $N_4O_2$ donor set. Hydrogen bonding interactions between nitrogen and oxygen atoms result in the set up of a supramolecular network architecture. Biological properties including antibacterial activity and superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity of compound 1 have been investigated by agar diffusion method and the modified Marklund method, respectively. The results indicate that compound 1 exhibits a stronger antibacterial efficiency than the parent ligand and it also has a certain radical-scavenging activity.
