To enhance the skin delivery of genistein (GT), a soybean isoflavone having anti oxidative activity, comparative formulation studies including liposomes were carried out. GT-loaded conventional and elastic liposomal gel showed the enhanced skin deposition and photoprotection effect as well, in comparison to GT suspension. Elastic liposomes composed of soybean phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate (85:15, w/w%) were superior to conventional liposomes and were of characteristics as follows: about 130 nm in size; 85% encapsulation efficiency of GT; 5.8% skin deposition of applied dose; 40% inhibition effect on UVB-induced $H_2O_2$ production. Photoprotection effect was closely related to skin deposition of GT. In conclusion, it is possible to suggest that elastic liposomes could be a promising nanocarrier system for efficient skin delivery.

Water-sludge bacteria were screened to find a lipase enantioselectively hydrolyzing itraconazole precursor, which is well known as the starting material of antifungal drug agents. A bacterial strain was isolated and identified as Acinetobacter junii SY-01. After the strain was cultivated, the enzyme was purified 39.4-fold using ultrafiltration and gel filtration through a Sephadex G-100 chromatographic column and the activity yield was 34.9%. The molecular weight of the enzyme was about 40 kDa, as measured by SDS-PAGE, and the optimum pH was 7.0- 9.0 and stable at pH 6.0- 9.0. The optimum temperature was 45- $5^{\circ}C$, and 73% of the enzymes activity remained after incubation at 70% for 1 h. Enzyme activity was enhanced by gall powder, sodium deoxycholate, a cationic detergent Tween 80, and a non-ionic detergent Triton X-100, but was markedly inhibited by metal ions such as $Hg^{2＋},Cu^{2＋},Ni^{2＋}/,Ca^{2＋}$, and an anionic-surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate. The $K_{m}$ values for (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of the itraconazole precursor were 0.385 and 21.83 mM, respectively, and the $V_{max} values ($\mu$Mㆍmin^{-1}.)$ were 6.73 and 6.49, respectively. The acetyl group among the different acyl moieties of itraconazole precursor showed the highest enantioselectivity for the hydrolysis by the Acinetobacter junii SY-01 lipase, and the lipase from Acinetobacter junii SY-01 displayed better enantioselectivity than that of commercially available lipases and esterases.

This study evaluated the growth kinetics of Salmonella spp. in processed meat products formulated with low sodium nitrite (NaNO₂). A 5-strain mixture of Salmonella spp. was inoculated on 25-g samples of sausages formulated with sodium chloride (NaCl) (1.0%, 1.25%, and 1.5%) and NaNO₂ (0 and 10 ppm) followed by aerobic or vacuum storage at 10℃ and 15℃ for up to 816 h or 408 h, respectively. The bacterial cell counts were enumerated on xylose lysine deoxycholate agar, and the modified Gompertz model was fitted to the Salmonella cell counts to calculate the kinetic parameters as a function of NaCl concentration on the growth rate (GR; Log CFU/g/h) and lag phase duration (LPD; h). A linear equation was then fitted to the parameters to evaluate the effect of NaCl concentration on the kinetic parameters. The GR values of Salmonella on sausages were higher (p<0.05) with 10 ppm NaNO₂ concentration than with 0 ppm NaNO₂. The GR values of Salmonella decreased (p<0.05) as NaCl concentration increased, especially at 10℃. This result indicates that 10 ppm NaNO₂ may increase Salmonella growth at low NaCl concentrations, and that NaCl plays an important role in inhibiting Salmonella growth in sausages with low NaNO₂.

The effects of enzyme inhibitors and penetration enhancers on the permeation of leucine enkephalin (Leu-Enk) and its synthetic analog, [${D-ala}^2$]-leucine enkephalinamide (YAGFL) across the nasal, rectal and vaginal mucosae were evaluated. Enzyme inhibitors and penetration enhancers employed for Leu-Enk permeation study were amastatin(AM), thimerosal(TM) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt(EDTA), and sodium taurodihydrofusidate (STDHF). Those for YAGFL permeation study were TM, benzalkonium chloride(BC) and EDTA, and STDHF, sodium deoxycholate(SDC), sodium glycholate(SGC), glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt (GAA), L-$\alpha$-Iysophosphatidylcholine(LPC) and mixed micelle (MM, STDHF: linoleic acid = 15 mM : 5 mM). The addition of TM alone on the donor and receptor solutions for Leu-Enk permeation study across all the three kinds of mucosae failed to inhibit the degradation; it completely degraded in 6 hrs, and no permeation occurred. However, with addition of three kinds of inhibitors together, the fluxes across nasal, rectal and vaginal mucosae were $\20.7{pm}2.5$>/TEX>,$\0.3{pm}0.05$>/TEX> and $\1.4{pm}0.5$ $\mu$\mid$textrm{m}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$/hr, respectively. Moreover, the addition of STDHF in the presence of the above three inhibitors enhanced permeation across nasal, rectal and vaginal mucosae 1.3, 15 and 1.3 times, respectively. YhGFL also degraded in the donor and receptor solutions rapidly as time went. With mixed inhibitors of TM and EDTA, the percents of YAGFL remaining in the donor solutions facing nasal, rectal and vaginal mucosae were 69.7, 69.8 and 79.8%, respectively; the percent permeated increased to 10, 2.1 and 5.7%, respectively. The addition of STDHF in the presence of either BC/EDTA or TW/EDTA increased the permeation 2.2, 11.0 and 2.9 times, and 2.21, 14.0 and 2.7 times for nasal, rectal and vaginal mucosae, respectively. With SDC, SGC, GAA, LPC ud MM in the presence of TM/EDTA increased permeation; especially, they increased permeation across vaginal mucosae effectively, and the enhancement factors were 12.5, 7.6, 8.7, 5.7 and 5.5, respectively. The degradation extent of YAGFL was correlated with protein concentrations in the epidermal and serosal extracts. The flux of YAGFL across nasal mucosa increased dose-dependently.

The $\alpha$1,6-mannosyltransferase encoded by Saccharomyces cerevisiae OCH1 plays a key role for the outer chain initiation of the N-linked oligosaccharides. A search for Hansenula polymorpha genes homologous to S. cerevisiae OCHI (ScOCH1) has revealed seven open reading frames (ORF100, ORF142, ORF168, ORF288, ORF379, ORF576, ORF580). All of the seven ORFs are predicted to be a type II integral membrane protein containing a transmembrane domain near the amino-terminal region and has a DXD motif, which has been found in the active site of many glycosyltransferases. Among this seven-membered OCH1 gene family of H. polymorpha, we have carried out a functional analysis of H. polymorpha ORF168 (HpOCH2) showing the highest identity to ScOCH1. Inactivation of this protein by disruption of corresponding gene resulted in several phenotypes suggestive of cell wall defects, including hypersensitivity to hygromycin B and sodium deoxycholate. The structural analysis of N-glycans synthesized in HpOCH2-disrupted strain (Hpoch2Δ) and the in vitro $\alpha$1,6-mannosyltransferase activity assay strongly indicate that HpOch2p is a key enzyme adding the first $\alpha$1,6-mannose residue on the core glycan Man$_{8}$GlcNAc$_2$. The Hpoch2Δ was further genetically engineered to synthesize a recombinant glycoprotein with the human compatible N-linked oligosaccharide, Man$_{5}$GlcNAc$_2$, by overexpression of the Aspergillus saitoi $\alpha$1,2-mannosidase with the 'HDEL” ER retention signal.gnal.

To increase the dissolution rate of practically insoluble biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB), various solid dispersions were prepared with water soluble carriers, such as povidone (PVP K-30), poloxamer 407, sodium deoxycholate (SDC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000, at drug to carrier ratios of 1:3, 1:5 and 1:10 (w/w) by solvent or fusion method. Dissolution test was performed by the paddle method. The dissolution rate of DDB tablets (25 mg) on market was found to be very low (11.44, 9.02 and 6.42% at pH 1.2, 4.0 and 6.5 after 120 min, respectively). However, dissolution rates of DDB from various solid dispersions were very fast and reached supersaturation within 10 min. DDB-PEG 6000 solid dispersion appeared to be better in enhancing the in vitro dissolution rate than others. Furthermore, the incorporation of DDB and phosphatidylcholine (PC) into ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ at ratios of 1:2:20, 1:5:20 and 1:10:20 resulted in a 4.9-, 11.2- and 19.6-fold increase in DDB dissolution after 120 min as compared with the pure drug, respectively. This might be attributed to the formation of lipid vesicles which entrapped a certain concentration of DDB during dissolution. On the other hand, the permeation of DDB through rabbit duodenal mucosa was examined using some enhancers such as SDC, sod. glycocholate (SGC) and glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt (GAA). Only trace amounts of DDB were found to permeate through deuodenal mucosa in the absence of enhancer. SDC was found to markedly decrease the permeation flux of DDB, however, SGC and GAA (5 mM) enhanced the flux of DDB 1.6 and 2.4 times higher as compared with no additive, respectively.

This study was aimed to increase the solubility, dissolution and permeation rates of atorvastatin calcium (ATC) using bile salt and/or 2-hydroxypropyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin ($HP{\beta}CD$). From solubility studies, sodium deoxycholate (SDC) among bile salts studied was found to have the highest solubilizing effect on ATC ($4.4{\pm}0.4$ mg/ml), and the order of increasing solubility was SDC>sod. cholate>sod. glycocholate>sod. taurodeoxycholate>sod. taurocholate>conjugated bile acid. ATC solid dispersions were prepared at various ratios of drug to SDC and/or $HP{\beta}CD$, and evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dissolution studies and dissolution-permeation studies. DSC curves showed amorphous state of ATC in the physical mixture and solid dispersion. Dissolution rates of ATC-SDC solid dispersions and physical mixture were markedly increased at pH 6.8, but decreased at pH 1.2 with greater proportions of SDC due to the precipitation of SDC, compared with that of drug alone. On the other hand, dissolution rates of ATC-$HP{\beta}CD$ solid dispersion and physical mixture at pH 1.2 were varied with the ratio of drug to carriers. From duodenal permeation studies, it was found that fluxes of ATC (donor dose: 0.5 mg/3.5 ml) in the presence of 25 mM sodium glycocholate, SDC, sod. cholate and sod. taurocholate $(5.7{\pm}0.9$, $5.6{\pm}0.9$, $4.8{\pm}0.7$ and $4.6{\pm}0.9\;{\mu}g/cm^2/hr$, respectively) were enhanced, compared with drug alone ($3.4{\pm}0.9\;{\mu}g/cm^2/hr$). In the dissolution-permeation studies, 1 : 9 : 10 (w/w) ATC-SDC-$HP{\beta}CD$ solid dispersion increased the flux 2.2 times, compared with 1 : 5 : 4 (w/w) ATC-lactose-corn starch mixture as control. In conclusion, solid dispersions with bile salt and $HP{\beta}CD$ were found to be an effective means for increasing the dissolution and permeation rates of ATC.

SWCNT는 매우 뛰어난 역학적 성능을 가지고 있고. 이로 인해 각종 첨단 소재의 보강재료로서 각광받고 있다. 그러나 완전한 형태의 SWCNT는 소수성을 가지고 있고. 서로간에 Van der Waals 인력으로 결합되어 물에 분산이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 SWCNT를 시멘트 복합체에 활용하기 위하여, 분산된 용액 형태로 제조하여 시멘트 복합체에 활용하고자 하였고, 이를 위한 계면활성제로 DOC 및 SDS를 선정하였다. 초음파 처리 및 초원심분리를 통해 제조된 SWCNT 수용액을 이용하여 시멘트 페이스트를 제조하여 이의 전단응력 vs. 전단변형률 관계를 확인하고, 이를 통해 소성점도 및 항복응력을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 SWCNT를 혼입하지 않은 DOC 및 SDS는 공기연행제와 유사한 유변학적 효과를 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다. DOC 2wt%를 이용해서 제조된 SWCNT 수용액으로 배합된 시멘트 페이스트는 플레인 시멘트 페이스트와 거의 유사한 유변학적 거동을 하는 것으로 나타났으나, SDS 1%를 이용해서 제조된 SWCNT 수용액으로 배합된 시멘트 페이스트는 플레인 시멘트 페이스트와 상이한 유변학적 거동을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

세포막의 정보전달기전중 phosphoinositide system은 정보가 전달될때 phospholipase C 효소의 작용으로 phosphatidyl inositol bisphosphate로부터 inositol triphosphate($IP_3$)와 diacylglycerol이 생성되며 $IP_3$는 다시 $IP_3$kinase에 의해 inositol tetrakisphosphate($IP_4$)로 되어 이차전령 물로서 작용한다. 본 연구는 $IP_3$kinase효소가 $Ca^{2+}$와 calmodulin에 의해 활성화되는 성질을 이용하여 calmodulin을 정제하고 $IP_3$kinase효소와의 친화도를 비교 관찰하였다. Calmodulin정제는 phenyl-Sepharose resin을 이용하여 column chromatography를 시행하여 정제확인하였으며 분자량이 17,000임을 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동으로 확인하였다. 정제된 calmodulin을 affigel column에 결합시킨 gel에 소의 뇌로부터 분리한 $IP_3$kinase효소가 담긴 시료를 calmodulin-affigel column에 적용하여 결합 및 유출정도를 비교하였으며 $Ca^{2+}$이 든 buffer에서 친화도가 가장 컸으며 유출은 EGTA용액에서 일부 유출되었으며 calmodulin/$Ca^{2+}$이 든 buffer에선 강한 유출정도를 관찰하였다. 그러나 calmodulin/$Ca^{2+}$는 $IP_3$kinase효소의 활성을 증가시키며 calmodulin이 단백질이어서 정제면에서 효소와의 분리가 쉽지않아 여러 다른 detergent를 적용하였으나 0.2% chaps buffer에서 집중된 유출을 관찰하였다.

미꾸라지 (mudloach, Misgunus mizolepis)의 간으로부터 클로닝한 phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C$\delta$ (ML-PLC$\delta$)를 대장균 (E. coli)에서 과발현시켜 만든 재조합 ML-PLC$\delta$와 미꾸라지 간 조직으로부터 직접 정제한 ML-PLC$\delta$의 생화학적 특성을 비교분석하였다. 우선, pET28a vector (Novagen)를 이용하여 E. coli BL21(DE3)에서 과발현된 재조합 ML-PLC$\delta$은 $Ni^{2+}$-NTA affinity 크로마토그래피 및 gel filtration 칼럼에 의해서 정제되었다. 미꾸라지 간 조직으로 ML-PLC$\delta$는 open heparin 칼럼 및 분석용 heparin 칼럼등을 통하여 부분 정제하였다. 두개의 재조합 및 wild ML-PLC$\delta$는 phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-phosphate ($PIP_2$)에 대한 농도 의존적 PLC 활성을 보여주었고, 그 활성은 포유류 PLC$\delta$ 효소와 유사하게 칼슘 농도에 의존적인 활성을 나타내었다. 재조합 및 wild ML-PLC$\delta$는 각각 pH 7.0 및 7.5에서 가장 큰 PI-가수분해 활성을 나타낸다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 게다가, 재조합 및 wild ML-PLC$\delta$는 sodium doecylcholate (SDC) 및 phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC)와 같은 지질류에 대하여 농도의존적인 활성을 나타내나, spermine과 같은 polyamine류의 존재하에서는 농도 의존적으로 PLC 활성이 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. 미꾸라지 각 기관들의 ML-PLC$\delta$의 발현양상 및 양등을 측정하여 보았을 때 ML-PLC$\delta$는 포유류 PLC$\delta$와 마찬가지로 다양한 형태의 PLC$\delta$가 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과들로 미루어서 미꾸라지로부터 얻은 ML-PLC$\delta$는 포유류의 PLC$\delta$ isozymes과 유사한 형태의 생화학적 특성을 가지나, 포유류 PLC$\delta$1과 PLC$\delta$3 isozyme의 생화학적 특성을 함께 가짐을 알 수 있었다.
