An ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor, SKG-3, was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum and its physico-chemical properties were characterized. It was a highly specific and effective reversible inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. It showed very potent inhibitory activity against a-glucosidase with an IC$\sub$50/ value of 4.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, but no activity for any other glycosidases tested. Enzyme activity could be recovered upon dialysis, thus providing evidence for the reversibility of the inhibition. A Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that the SKG-3 inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was competitive.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Jerusalem artichoke has inhibitory activity against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and decreases fasting serum glucose levels, which may be related to its fructan content. The biological activity of fructan can be influenced by the degree of polymerization. Thus, in this study, the inhibitory effects of original and fermented purple Jerusalem artichoke (PJA) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were compared in vitro. Additionally, the anti-diabetes effect of Lactobacillus plantarum-fermented PJA (LJA) was studied in a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus animal model (C57BIKsJ db/db). MATERIALS/METHODS: The water extract of PJA was fermented by L. plantarum, and two strains of Bacillus subtilis to compare their anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activities in vitro by ${\alpha}$-glucosidase assays. The anti-diabetes effect of LJA was studied in a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus animal model (C57BIKsJ db/db) for seven weeks. During the experiment, food intake, body weight, and fasting blood glucose were measured every week. At the end of the treatment period, several diabetic parameters and the intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity were measured. RESULTS: The LJA showed the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro. In the in vivo study, it resulted in a significantly lower blood glucose concentration than the control. Serum insulin and HDL cholesterol levels were significantly higher and the concentrations of triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids, and total cholesterol were significant lower in mice treated with LJA after seven weeks. In addition, the intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was partially inhibited. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that LJA regulates blood glucose and has potential use as a dietary supplement.

벼 가공공정의 부산물인 왕겨를 당뇨병 환자의 혈당상승을 억제하는 식품소재로 응용할 가능성을 검토하기 위하여, 왕겨 ethanol 추출물의 쥐 소장 점막의 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$에 대한 저해효과와, 저해성분의 정제에 관하여 연구하였다. 왕겨 ethanol 추출물은 0.8 mg/mL의 농도에서 6 mM p-nitrophenyl ${\alpha}-D-glucopyranoside$를 기질로 한 쥐소장 점막 1.4 mU/mL ${\alpha}-glucosidase$에 의한 효소반응을 30% 저해하였다. Ethanol 추출물을 n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, 물로 분획하였을 때 ethyl acetate 분획물의 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$에 대한 저해활성은 ethanol 추출물의 경우와 같은 조건에서 65%로서, 다른 네 분획물보다 높았다. Ethanol 추출물이 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ 반응을 50% 저해하는 농도$(IC_{50})$는 162 mg/mL 인데 비하여, ethyl acetate 분획물의 $(IC_{50})$은 0.14 mg/mL 이었다. Ethyl acetate 분획물을 silica gel column chromatography에 의하여 분획하였을 때 chloroform : methanol=90 : 10 분획물의 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$에 대한 저해율은 90%이었으며, 이는 ethyl acetate 분획물의 저해율 65%에 비하여 증가한 것이다. Chloroform : methanol=90 : 10 분획물을 Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography에 의하여 분획하였을 때 중간 정도의 시간에서 용출된 분획물의 저해율은 ethanol 추출물과 같은 조건에서 88%이었다.

Mulberry leaves containing 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) have been recognized as a potentially important source for prevent or treat hyperglycemia. However, DNJ content of natural mulberry leaf are as low as 0.1%. Thus, the most effective method for increasing ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity with the DNJ high-production is needed. In this study, we investigated the influence of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity according to different pH values (6-9) and inoculation amounts (0.1-0.5%) when Bacillus subtilis cultured on mulberry leaf powder media. We confirmed that ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity was difference according to culture conditions of different pH values, inoculation amounts, and fermentation times. The results of mulberry leaf fermentation according to pH values and inoculation amounts were shown that the optimal conditions for ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity were defined as pH 7 and 9, inoculation amount 0.4%, and incubation until 2 to 4 days. These results can be provided a basic data for the optimal culture conditions increasing ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity from mulberry leaf fermentation.

화살나무 가지로부터 activity based fractionation에 의해 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해 활성 물질 compound 1-4을 분리하였고, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, $^1H-^1H$ COSY와 HMBC 등의 spectral data에 의해 구조를 결정하였다. Compound 1-4는 모두 flavonol 물질로 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase에 대해 $IC_{50}$ 값이 각각 25.3, 17.1, 47.3과 $35.1{\mu}M$로 positive control로 사용한 acarbose 보다 강한 활성을 나타내었다. 화살나무의 혈당 저하 기능의 유효성분으로 처음 동정된 Compound 1-4는 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase에만 특이적 활성을 갖는 물질로 당뇨병 치료제로의 개발 가능성이 높은 물질로 사료된다.

This study investigated the hypoglycemic effect of the Padina arborescens extract in STZ-induced diabetic mice. Freeze-dried Padina arborescens were extracted with 80% methanol and concentrated for use in this study. The hypoglycemic effect was determined by inhibitory activities against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase as well as the alleviation of postprandial blood glucose level. Padina arborescens extracts showed higher inhibitory activities than acarbose, a positive control against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase. The $IC_{50}$ values of Padina arborescens extracts against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase were 0.26 and 0.23 mg/mL, respectively, which evidenced as more effective than observed with acarbose. The increase of postprandial blood glucose levels were significantly suppressed in the Padina arborescens extract administered group than the control group in the streptozotocin induced diabetic mice. Furthermore, the area under the curve (AUC) was significantly lowered via Padina arborescens extract administration in diabetic mice (p 0.05). These results indicated that the Padina arborescens extract might be used as an inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase and delay absorption of dietary carbohydrates.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: We investigated total 26 ingredients of Saengshik which will be commercially produced as an anti-diabetic dietary supplement. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Thirteen vegetables, nine cereals, three legumes and one seed were extracted with aqueous ethanol for 2 h at $60^{\circ}C$, and evaluated for their inhibitory effects against ${\alpha}$-amylase and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and for total phenolic and flavonoid contents. RESULTS: All ingredients inhibited ${\alpha}$-amylase activity except cabbage. Strong inhibitory activity of ${\alpha}$-amylase was observed in leek, black rice, angelica and barley compared with acarbose as a positive control. Stronger inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was found in small water dropwort, radish leaves, sorghum and cabbage than acarbose. All Saengshik ingredients suppressed ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity in the range of 0.3-60.5%. Most ingredients contained total phenols which were in the range of 1.2-229.4 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dried extract. But, total phenolic contents were not observed in carrot, pumpkin and radish. All ingredients contained flavonoid in the range of 11.6-380.7 mg catechin equivalent/g dried extract. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that Saengshik containing these ingredients would be an effective dietary supplement for diabetes.

$\alpha$-Glucosidase contributing $\alpha$-glucan metabolism in microorganisms is characterized by the variety in substrate recognition. Recent studies on microbial enzymes show that $\alpha$-glucosidases are divided into two groups, family I and family n, in which family I enzymes have four conserved catalytic-regions of $\alpha$-amylase family. The presentation focusing on the difference of the $\alpha$-glucosidase families reviews i) the catalytic amino-acid residues of nucleophile and acid/base catalyst, and ii) the molecular evolution of two families.
