We have evaluated the antifungal activities of oak vinegar to develop a natural biocide for organic cultural heritage. Fungi used in this study were screened from the cultural heritages, Kyujanggak and JanggyeongPanjeon and tested on organic substrates-degrading ability. In the results, 7 species of fungi have produced the extracellular enzymes to degrade CMC, xylan, lignin. Thus, we have used these seven species fungi to investigate the antifungal activity of oak vinegar in this study. In the result, the antifungal activity of oak vinegar indicated positive potencial. Especially, methylene chloride and ethylacetate fractions of the oak vinegar had high activities at the concentration of 5.0mg/disc. In these fractions, many different kinds of compounds such as phenolic and furfural, etc. were analyzed by GC-MS. The experiments indicated that the development of a biocide using natural extracts can have a potential to conserve of organic cultural heritages.

In this study, the antifungal activities of limonene against Trichophyton rubrum were evaluated via broth microdilution and vapor contact assays. In both assays, limonene was shown to exert a potent antifungal effect against T. rubrum. The volatile vapor of limonene at concentrations above $1{\mu}l$/800 ml air space strongly inhibited the growth of T. rubrum. The MIC value was 0.5% v/v in the broth microdilution assay. The antifungal activity of limonene against T. rubrum was characterized as a fungicidal effect.

Antifungal activities of trans-cinnamaldehyde (CA) derivatives including commercial CA derivatives as well as synthesized CA derivatives against various human pathogenic fungi were investigated. Among the derivatives tested, -chlorocinnamaldehyde, $\alpha$-bromocinnamaldehyde and 7-phenyl-2,4,6-heptatrienal were more potent than CA in antifungal activity, $\alpha$-Bromocinnamaldehyde was the most effective in inhibiting the growth of representative fungi of dermatomycosis with minimum inhibitory cocentration(MIC) of 0.61~9.76$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml . In the structure-activity relationship, introduction of the chlorine and bromine group into the C-2 of CA resulted in the decrease of MIC. Derivative with more double bonds exhibited the increase of antifungal activity against various pathogenic fungi.

Soil cyanobacteria isolated from the rice paddy fields of 10 different locations across Korea were evaluated by agar plate diffusion test for antifungal activity. Aqueous, petroleum ether, and methanol extracts from one hundred and forty two cyanobacterial strains belonging to the 14 genera were examined for antifungal properties against seven phytopathogenic fungi causing diseases in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L). Of total cyanobacteria, nine cyanobacteria (6.34%) exhibited antifungal effects. The nine cyanobacteria selected with positive antifungal activities were two species of Oscillatoria, two of Anabaena, three of Nostoc, one of Nodularia, and one of Calothrix. Alternaria alternata and Botrytis cinerea were inhibited by nine and eight species of cyanobacteria, respectively. Rhizopus stolonifer was suppressed by only methanol extract of Nostoc commune FK-103. In particular, Nostoc commune FK-103 and Oscillatoria tenuis FK-109 showed strong antifungal activities against Phytophthora capsici. Their antifungal activity at the late exponential growth phase is related to the growth temperature and not associated with the growth parameters such as cell biomass and $chlorophyll-{\alpha}$ concentration. The high inhibition levels of antibiotics were 22.5 and 31.8 mm for N. commune FK-103 and O. tenuis FK-109, respectively. The optimal temperature for antibiotic productivity was $35^{\circ}C$.

Antifungal activities of 6-[(N-4-bromophenyl)amino]-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinedione (RCK7) were tested. The MIC values of RCK7 were determined for antifungal suceptibility, in vitro against Aspergillus niger, Cryptococcus neoformans and Trichophyton mentagrophyte by standard agar streak method. In vitro, RCK7 showed more potent antifungal activity than fluconazole and ketoconazole. Also, RCK7 was tested for in vivo antifungal activity in the treatment of systemic infection with Candida albicans in normal mice. The therapeutic potential of RCK7 had been assessed by evaluating their survival rate against systemic infections compared with that of ketoconazole. $ED_{50}$ of intraperitoneally administered RCK7 ws $2.05{\pm}0.30mg/kg$ but that of ketoconazole was $8.00{\pm}0.73 mg/kg$, respectively. When RCK7 was administered intravenously at the $ED_{50}$(2.05 mg/kg). the colony counts of Candida albicans in the liver after 7 days and 14 days were reduced as likely as ketoconazole at the $ED_{50}(8.00 mg/kg)$, and the better survival rates than ketoconazole's were achieved after 14 days. The results suggest that RCK7 may be a potent antifungal agent.

기질 화합물로 2-N-benzyl-5-phenoxy-3-isothiazolone 유도체를 합성하고 그들의 반응성과 metalaxyl 살균제에 저항성(RPC)과 감수성(SPC)을 나타내는 고추역병균(Phytophthora capsici)들에 대한 살균활성에 미치는 5-치환-phenoxy기의 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 비치환 기질 화합물은 궤도-조절 반응성이 우세하였고 특히, 4-fluoro-치환체 6은 RPC에 그리고 4-nitro-치환체 3은 SPC에 대하여 뚜렷한 선택성을 보였다. RPC에 대한 살균활성은 HOMO 에너지의 적정값(-9.2137 e.v.)에 그리고 SPC는 MR상수의 적정값($7.37cm^3/mol.$)에 주로 의존적이었다. 그리고 Free-Wilson 분석 결과 SPC에는 모든 치환체가 살균활성에 기여하였으나 RPC의 경우에는 methoxy와 bromo-기만이 기여하는 경향이었다.

In vivo와 in vitro 생물검정법에서의 활성관계를 조사하고 또한 보다 효율적인 in vitro 검정법을 개발하기 위하여 작용기구가 다른 두 계열 살균제 즉 sulphamide계 (dichlofluanid와 tolylfluanid)와 dicarboximide계 살균제 (iprodione, vinclozolin 및 procymidone)을 시험약제로 하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. Dichlofluanid, tolylfluanid, iprodione, vinclozolin procymidone의 토마토 유묘에서의 병 방제효과는 유사하였다. 그러나 이들 살균제에 대해 in vitro 생물검정법으로 항균활성을 비교한 결과, sulphamide계 살균제는 포자발아 억제실험에서 높은 활성을 나타낸 반면에, dicarboximide계 살균제는 균사생장 억제실험에서 항균활성이 더 우수하였다. 그러므로 in vivo 병 방제효과가 유사하더라도 작용기구가 다르면 in vitro 생물검정법에서의 항균활성은 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한 포자현탁액을 넣은 96-well microtiter plate에 약제를 처리하고 3시간 배양 후 배양액을 제거하고 다시 새 배지를 넣어 배양한 후 생장억제를 조사한 실험 (microtiter plate method I, MPM I)에서는 살균제들의 포자발아 억제실험과 유사한 경향의 활성을 보였다. 96-well microtiter plate에서 포자현탁액을 6시간 동안 배양하여 포자를 발아시킨 후에 약제를 처리한 실험(microtiter plate method II, MPM II)에서의 항균활성은 균사생장 억제효과와 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 기존의 in vitro 항균활성 실험보다 편리하고 효율적인 MPM I과 II 방법은 각각 포자발아와 균사생장 억제실험을 대신할 수 있으리라 생각되었다.

A total of 39 essential oils were tested for antifungal activities as volatile compounds against five phytopathogenic fungi at a dose of 1 ${\mu}l$ per plate. Five essential oils showed inhibitory activities against mycelial growth of at least one phytopathogenic fungus. Origanum vulgare essential oil inhibited mycelial growth of all of the five fungi tested. Both Cuminum cyminum and Eucalyptus citriodora oils displayed in vitro antifungal activities against four phytopathogenic fungi except for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The essential oil of Thymus vulgaris suppressed the mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani and that of Cymbopogon citratus was active to only F. oxysporum. The chemical compositions of the five active essential oils were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This study suggests that both E. citriodora and C. cyminum oils have a potential as antifungal preservatives for the control of storage diseases of various crops.

Two dimeric sesquiterpenes were separated from Chloranthus japonicus Sieb. and identified as shizukaols C and F. They exhibited potent antifungal activities ($MICs=4-16{\mu}g/ml$) in vitro against various plant pathogenic fungi (Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora infestans, Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum lagenarium, Alternaria kikuchiana, and Magnaporthe grisea). Shizukaol C showed 88% and 91% protective activities in the greenhouse against Puccinia recondita (wheat leaf rust) and Phytophthora infestans (tomato late blight), respectively, at $100{\mu}g/ml$; shizukaol F exhibited 93% antifungal activity against Puccinia recondita at the same concentration. Therefore, these compounds might serve as interesting candidates for effective antifungal agents.

본 연구에서는 석류에서 단세포성 곰팡이의 성장을 저해하는 항진균 물질을 탐색하고 새로운 천연 항생물질을 찾기 위한 목적으로 석류를 과피, 씨, 전체로 각각 분리하고 추출하여 항진균 활성을 조사하였다. 고흥에서 생산된 석류를 전체, 과피, 씨로 나누어 70% EtOH로 추출한 후 Candida albicans에 대한 항진균 활성을 측정한 결과, 항진균 활성이 액체배지에서 각각 비슷하게 나왔으며 고체배지에서는 석류 전체 추출물을 사용하였을 때 가장 잘 나타났다. 고체배지에서와 액체배지에서 공통적으로 석류 전체 및 과피 추출물의 chloroform, ethyl acetate 용매 추출물의 C. albicans의 항진균 활성도를 측정한 결과 ethyl acetate 추출물에서 모두 높은 활성도를 나타냈다. C. albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida lusitaniae에 대한 항진균 활성은 석류 전체 및 석류 과피의 ethyl acetate 용매 추출물에서 각각 36%, 25% 이상의 저해율을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 석류 내 존재하는 항진균 활성 물질은 ethyl acetate에 잘 녹는 지용성 물질인 것으로 추정된다.
