To search of more selective vasculogenic relaxation activity, the antioxidant activity of silkworm male pupae was determined by measuring its radical scavenging effect on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, and anticoagulant activity of them was measured clotting time in both activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Because, most of cGMP-enhancing agent such as, sildenafil, promotes thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, developed unexplained thrombic conditions including heart attack. To search more suitable and safe drug for vasculogenic relaxation, we purified silkworm pupae male extract. The ethyl acetate extract of silkworm male pupae showed strong scavenging activity in both DPPH and aPTT anticoagulant activity. The antioxidant activity potential of the individual fraction was in order of ethyl acetate > n-butanol > chloroform > n-hexane. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction exhibiting strong anti-oxidant and anticoagulant activity was further purified by repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Cholesterol was isolated as one of the active principles from ethyl acetate fraction, together with, minor portion, ${\beta}-sitosterol$.

Selectins are carbohydrate-binding cell adhesion molecules that play a major role in the initiation of inflammatory responses. Heparin can bind to P-selectin, and its anti-inflammatory property is mainly due to inhibition of P-selectin. However, the strong anticoagulant activity of heparin limits its clinical use. We prepared periodate-oxidized, borohydride-reduced heparin (RO-heparin) by chemical modification and tested its anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory activities. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assays showed that, compared with heparin, RO-heparin had greatly reduced anticoagulant activity. Intravenous administration of this compound led to reduction in the peritoneal infiltration of neutrophils in a mouse acute inflammation model. In vitro cell adhesion experiments demonstrated that the effect of RO-heparin on inflammatory responses was mainly due to inhibiting the interaction of P-selectin with its ligands. These results indicate that RO-heparin may be a safer treatment for inflammation than heparin, especially when selectin is targeted.

Polysaccharide from Sanguisorba officinalis was separated and fractionated using DEAE-Sephadex ion-exchange chromatography and Sephacry HR-200 gel filtration chromatography. One of the fraction(Fr. II) was sulfated and its anticoagulant activity was tested in vitro. Sulfation could increase the clotting time 50 times compared to unsulfated one. Fr. II was hydrolyzed and its composition was analyzed by conjugation with 7-amino-1, 3-naphthalene disulfonic acid using HPLC and electrophoresis. Arabinose and galactose were mainly composed at the ratio of 4 : 1. In addition, xylose and rhamnose were also found.

Introduction: We previously reported that a new glycosaminoglycan, acharan sulfate (AS) from the African giant snail Achatina fulica showed anticoagulation activity in vitro, but it was much less than that of heparin. In the present study, the anticoagulant activity of AS was investigated in vivo. Methods: AS and heparin were administered to rats in various concentrations and anticoagulant activities were measured. Both were also compared in thrombin-induced Results: Intravenous administration of acharan sulfate prolonged the coltting time (APTT) in mice and rats in a dose-dependent manner. (omitted)

Glycosaminoglycans(PT -Gag) were isolated from the porcine testis. From the PT -Gag, we obtained two different types of Gag fractions using Dowex macro porous Resin MSA-1 column, PT -Gag-1.5% NaCl and PT -Gag-16% NaCl. Various biological activities of the GAGs were examined in aspect of anticoagulant and immunomodulating activity. The anticoagulant activity of the GAGs was evaluated by activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT ) assay and thrombin time (TT) assay. The GAGs of porcine testis markedly incresed the clotting times of both of aPTT and TT. showing that PT-Gag-16% NaCl was more effective than PT-Gag-1.5% NaCl. The immunomodulating activityof the GAGs was examined in relation to regulation of xytoxine prodution of murine peritoeal maerophages. Taken together. GAGs isolated from porcine testis possess bilolgical functions such as anticoagulant and immunomodulating activity.

각종 버섯에서 항혈전 활성균주를 선별하기 위해 보관 균주 50여종과 임업협동조합에서 분양 받은 20여종의 균주를 대상으로 항혈전 활성을 검색한 결과, 항혈전 활성이 167 sec를 나타낸 상황버섯(Phellinus linteus)을 선별하였다. 본 균주가 생산하는 항혈전 활성의 본체를 파악하기 위해 pronase 처리와 periodate 산화를 행한 결과 pronase로 처리한 시료는 무처리군과 비교하여 차이가 없었던 반면 periodate로 산화시킨 시료는 항혈전 활성이 크게 감소함에 따라 P. linteus가 생산하는 항혈전 활성의 본체는 다당에 기인되는 것으로 추정되었다. 항혈전 생산을 위한 최적 배양조건은 soluble starch 3.0%, peptone 0.1%, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 0.1%, $K_2HPO_4$ 0.1%, 초기 pH 7.0, 배양온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 및 교반속도 150 rpm이었다. 상기의 최적 배양조건에서 jar fermentor로 10일 배양하였을 때 390 sec의 항혈전 활성과 7.5 mg/mL의 균사체 생육을 나타내었다.

식용버섯을 대상으로 항응고 활성을 검색한 결과 영지버섯 알칼리 추출물이 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 영지버섯으로부터 추출한 조다당 획분인 GL-I은 1N NaOH로 8시간 추출물(GL-0)을 methanol 환류, 에탄올 침전을 거쳐 투석, 동결건조하여 조제하였다. 히-I 획분은 periodate 산화에 의해서는 활성이 크게 변하지만 pronase 소화시 활성의 변화가 거의 없는 것으로 보아 항응고 활성의 본체는 주로 당과 관계되는 것으로 추정된다. 히-I의 구성당은 glucose:galactose:xylose:mannose:arabinose가 19.3:3.0:2.3:1.3:1.0:0.3의 molar ratio로 구성되어 있다. GL-I 획분을 DEAE-Toyopearl 650C(GL-Ia$\longrightarrow$If)와 Sephadex G-100(GL-Ic-I$\longrightarrow$GL-Ic-II)을 이용하여 부분 정제하였다.

Tabanus anticoagulant protein (TAP) was isolated from the whole body of the tabanus, Tabanus bivittatus, using three purification steps (ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-60, and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE Sephadex gel). The purified TAP, with a molecular weight of 65 kDa, was assessed to be homogeneous by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and an isoelectric point of 7.9 was determined by isoelectric focusing. The internal amino acid sequence of the purified protein was composed of Ser-Leu-Asn-Asn-Gln-Phe-Ala-Ser-Phe-lle-Asp-Lys-Val-Arg. The protein was activated by $Cu^{2+}\;and\;Zn^{2+}$, and the optimal conditions were found to be at pH $3\sim6\;and\;40\sim70^{\circ}C$. Standard coagulation screen assays were used to determine thrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. Chromogenic substrate assays were performed for thrombin and factor Xa activity. TAP considerably prolonged human plasma clotting time, especially activated partial thromboplastin time in a dose-dependent manner; it showed potent and specific antithrombin activity in the chromogenic substrate assay. Specific anti-factor Xa activity in TAP was not detected. Overall, this result suggested that TAP has significant anticoagulant activity on blood coagulation system.

An anticoagulant/fibrinolytic protease was purified to homogeneity from the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. The protein was a single chain glycoprotein of 32 kDa that exhibited strong proteolytic activity on human thrombin and fibrin clots. Proteolytic degradation of these plasma proteins by the purified enzyme occurred at a neutral pH range. Among several human plasma proteins tested as possible substrates for the protease reaction, the 32 kDa enzyme specifically hydrolyzed both thrombin and fibrin polymers without affecting other proteins, such as serum albumin, immunoglobulin, and hemoglobin. Treatment of the purified enzyme at neutral pH with either phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride or soybean trypsin inhibitor resulted in a loss of catalytic activity. The enzyme hydrolyzed the chromogenic substrate H-D-Phe-L-Pipecolyl-L-Arg-p-nitroanilide with a $K_m$ value of 1.1 ${\mu}M$ at a neutral pH. These results suggest that the anticoagulant/fibrinolytic enzyme from Lumbricus rubellus is a member of the serine protease family having a trypsin-like active site, and one of the potential clevage sites for the enzyme is the carbonyl side of arginine residues in polypeptide chains.
