  • ${\beta}$-Carotene has been known as an effective quenching agent of singlet oxygen and the carotenoid pigments in general are expected to protect cells against photosensitized oxidations. We are determined the quenching rate constants of several Ketocarotenoids including capsanthin, capsanthin diester, astaxanthin and fucoxanthin, and the relative quenching actiyities against singlet oxygen were compared with those of ${\beta}$-carotene and reported carotenoids. Nevertheless the ketocarotenoids exhibited lower quenching rate constants than ${\beta}$-carotene, they showed more pronounced protective activitives than ${\beta}$-carotene against photohemlysis induced by singlet oxygen. Among the ketocarotenoids investigated, fucoxanthin indicated a significant protective activity for the cell. The results suggested that. 1) 1O2 may be alikely initiator of photohemolysis, but this reaction is followed by slow dark reactions involving secondary reactive species. 2) For protection of RBC against photodynamic action with carotenoids, carotenoids having functional groups such as -C=0 and -OH groups are most efficient. This suggests that partition of carotenoids between the buck and the mombrane and/or their specific binding to membrane proteins are more critical for the photo-protection by carotenoids than is a diffusional quenching of 1O2.

  • 내분비교란물질인 BPA는 식품의 포장용기나 젖병 등의 제조에 이용되며, 라이보플라빈 광산화에 의해 안정성이 감소하는 것으로 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 광산화 시 메틸렌블루, 로즈벵갈, 라이보플라빈, 또는 이산화티타늄 등의 감광제 종류에 따른 BPA안정성을 비교하였고, sodium azide($NaN_3$) 농도에 따른 BPA안정성을 확인하였다. BPA 농도는 라이보플라빈, 로즈벵갈, 메틸렌블루 순서로 유의적으로 감소하였지만(p<0.05), 이산화티타늄 첨가 시료와 대조구인 감광제 무첨가군의 BPA 농도는 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). BPA의 안정성은 메틸렌블루 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며, $NaN_3$ 농도가 증가할수록 BPA 안정성은 증가하였다. 이는 메틸렌블루 광산화에 의한 BPA농도 감소에 일중항산소가 관여함을 의미한다.

  • Photosensitized peroxidation of membrane lipids has been implicated in skin pathologies such as phototoxicity and premature aging. We have previously reported that syriacusin compounds isolated from Hibiscus Syriacus inhibited lipid peroxidation. Here, we investigated whether syriacusins could be effective inhibitor to skin aging using ultraviolet-irradiated human dermal fibroblast cells (HDFCs). Syriacusins A, B, and C inhibit the activity of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), a serine protease to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins including elastin, with $IC_{50}s$ of 8.0, 5.2, and $6.1\;{\mu}M$, respectively. No changes in cell viability were detected by syriacusins A and B in UV-B ($10\;mJ/cm^2$) irradiated HDFCs. Matrix metallo-proteinase (MMP)-1 expression in HDFCs was increased by UV-B irradiation. MMP-1 expression in UV-B irradiated HDFCs was decreased by $10\;{\mu}M$ and $20\;{\mu}M$ syriacusin A to 50% and 20% of untreated control, respectively. Syriacusin B treated with $20\;{\mu}M$ reduced MMP-1 expression in UV-B irradiated HDFCs to 60% of untreated control. Syriacusin A also inhibited MMP-2 expression accompanying the increase of type-I pro-collagen in UV-B irradiated HDFCs. These results demonstrate that syriacusin A could be a more effective compound to inhibit skin aging caused by UV irradiation. It suggests that syriacusins A and B might be developed as possible agents to treat or prevent skin aging.

  • To examine the microenvironmental effect of DNA on the photosensitized reaction, the electron-donor-connecting porphyrin, meso-(9-phenanthryl)-tris(N-methyl-p-pyridinio) porphyrin (Phen-TMPyP), was synthesized. Phen-TMPyP can bind to oligonucleotides with two binding modes, depending on the DNA concentration. The fluorescence lifetime measurement of Phen-TMPyP shows a shorter component than that of the reference porphyrin without the phenanthryl moiety. However, the observed value is much longer than those of previously reported similar types of electron-donor-connecting porphyrins, suggesting that electron-transfer quenching by the phenanthryl moiety is not sufficient. The fluorescence quantum yield of Phen-TMPyP ($5{\mu}M$) decreased with an increase in DNA concentration of up to $5{\mu}M$ base pair (bp), possibly due to self-quenching through an aggregation along the DNA strand, increased with an increase in DNA concentration of more than $5{\mu}M$ bp and reached a plateau. The fluorescence quantum yield of Phen-TMPyP with a sufficient concentration of DNA was larger than that of the reference porphyrin. The singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) generating activity of Phen-TMPyP was confirmed by the near-infrared emission spectrum measurement. The quantum yield of $^1O_2$ generation was decreased by a relatively small concentration of DNA, possibly due to the aggregation of Phen-TMPyP, and recovered with a sufficient concentration of DNA. The recovered quantum yield was rather smaller than that without DNA, indicating the quenching of $^1O_2$ by DNA. These results show that a DNA strand can stabilize the photoexcited state of a photosensitizer and, in a certain case, suppresses the $^1O_2$ generation.

  • 레이저 용발법을 이용하여 폴리테트라플루오르에틸렌(PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene) 박막을 증착하였다 사용한 레이저는 1064 nm Nd:YAG 레이저이고, 타겟은 그라파이트 분말이 도핑된 PTFE 펠릿(pellet) 이었다. 그라파이트는 포톤에너지를 효과적으로 흡수하여 열에너지로 전환시키고, 이 에너지를 인접한 PTFE에 전달한다. PTFE는 전달받은 열에너지에 의해서 열분해 된다. 타겟 표면에서 열분해에 의해 형성된 PTFE 단량체(monomer)들은 기판위에서 재중합반응(repolymerization)하여 필름을 형성하게 된다. 증착된 필름은 투명하고 결정화된 필름이었다. 주사전자현미경(SEM: scanning electron microscopy)과 원자현미경(AFM: atomic force microscopy)으로 분석한 결과, 필름의 표면은 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 섬유구조(fibrous structure)를 보였다. X선 광전자 분광기(XPS: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), 퓨리에 변화 적외선 분광기(FTIR: fouirer transform infrared spectroscopy)와 X선 회절분광기(XRD: X-ray diffraction)로 분석한 결과, 필름의 F/C 비는 1.7이고 분자축(molecular axis)은 기판과 나란했다.

  • 말기 암환자를 위해 시행되는 화학적 항암치료는 다양한 합성 운반체를 이용한 표적치료를 통해 그 효과와 안정성을 증가시킨다. 항암치료의 약물 운반체로 쓰이기 위해 다음과 같은 독특한 두 가지 특성을 만족시켜야 하는데, 이것은 약물유출의 사용자 중심 제어기능과 표적 고형암으로의 높은 전달성이다. 하지만 현재 임상에서 사용되는 합성 운반체는 다양한 부작용을 유발하여 항암치료의 효과를 억제하고 환자들의 신체적 정신적 고통을 증가시키고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 생착성과 생분해능력을 가지고 있는 겸형적혈구에 활성화된 광감응제를 부착하고 형광물질을 주입하여, 지연적 용혈을 이용한 유출제어기능과 겸형적혈구의 표적기능을 일반 형광물질 주입결과와 비교하여 실험을 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 유전적으로 변이된 전임상 모델에서 생성된 겸형적혈구를 암세포가 자라는 설치류에 주입한 후, 일정 시간 간격으로 유출정도를 초분광이미징 시스템을 이용하여 모니터링 하였고, 그 결과 약물전달 운반체로서의 겸형적혈구의 역할 및 합성 운반체의 대체 가능성을 보이고자 한다.

  • Background: Explosive puffing can induce changes in the chemical, nutritional, and sensory quality of red ginseng. The antioxidant properties of ethanolic extracts of red ginseng and puffed red ginseng were determined in bulk oil and oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. Methods: Bulk oils were heated at $60^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ and O/W emulsions were treated under riboflavin photosensitization. In vitro antioxidant assays, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhudrazyl, 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, ferric reducing antioxidant power, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content, were also performed. Results: The total ginsenoside contents of ethanolic extract from red ginseng and puffed red ginseng were 42.33 mg/g and 49.22 mg/g, respectively. All results from above in vitro antioxidant assays revealed that extracts of puffed red ginseng had significantly higher antioxidant capacities than those of red ginseng (p < 0.05). Generally, extracts of puffed red and red ginseng had high antioxidant properties in riboflavin photosensitized O/W emulsions. However, in bulk oil systems, extracts of puffed red and red ginseng inhibited or accelerated rates of lipid oxidation, depending on treatment temperature and the type of assay used. Conclusion: Although ethanolic extracts of puffed red ginseng showed stronger antioxidant capacities than those of red ginseng when in vitro assays were used, more pro-oxidant properties were observed in bulk oils and O/W emulsions.

  • 미토콘드리아는 가시광선의 조사에 의해 그 고유한 생화학적 기능에 저해를 받게 되며 그것은 주로 파장 영역 $350{\sim}500nm$의 청색광이 유발하는 광역학적 작용(photodynamic action)의 결과라는 가정을 입증하는 자료를 수집하였다. 미토콘드리아막에 결합되어 있는 전자전달계효소들 중에서 NADH dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, 및 cytochrome c oxidase의 광저해(photoinhibition)를 조사하였던 바, 모든 효소들이 청색광에 의해 상대적으로 심한 활성상실을 보였다. NADH dehydrogenase의 FMN과 cytochrome c oxidase의 heme group은 산소가 관여하는 photosensitizer(photodynamic sensitizer)임에 반해, succinate dehydrogenase의 FAD는 sensitizer로서의 기능을 보이지 않는 대신 Fe-S center가 산소와 무관한 photosensitizer일 것이라고 해석되었다. heme group에 들어 있는 Fe도 역시 산소와 무관한 광화학반응에 어느 정도 기여하리라고 추정되는 결과도 얻었다. 미토콘드리아 전체로 볼 때 생리적 활성저해에 가장 크게 기여하는 가시광은 산소존재 조건하의 청색광이였고, 그 저해기작에는 active oxygens가 관여되어 있다는 것을 $O_2$의 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 한편 active oxygens의 생성은 미토콘드리아막의 과산화를 초래하였으며, 역시 청색광/$O_2$조건에서 그 정도가 가장 심하였다.
