A recombinant transfer vector pBacSCF was constructed by inserting huamn stem cell factor (hSCF) cDNA into plasmid pBacPAK8. BmN cells were co-transfected with modified Bombyx mori, nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmBacPAK) DNA and the recmbinant transfer vector to construct a recombinant baculovirus containing hSCE gene. DNA dot blotting and RNA dot blotting demonstrated that the hSCE gene was contained in the recombinant virus and transcribed. The recombinant baculovirus was infectious to BmN cells and to silkworm. SDS-PAGE analysis showed a specific band of expressed product in the extract of infected cells and in the heamolymph of infected larvae. Bioactivity of the recombinant hSCE was determined with W-1 cell line and MTT colorimetric method in synergy with interlukin-3 (IL-3). These results revealed that the hSCF gene was over-expressed in cultured cells and lavae of silkworm.

Bioactivity guided fractionation of the cultured filtrates of Aspergillus versicolor, which was derived from a marine sponge Petrosia sp., yielded three polyketides: decumbenones A (1),B (2), and versiol (3). These compounds were identified on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and MS analysis. The absolute configuration was defined by the modified Mosher's method. The isolated compounds were tested for cytotoxicity against a panel of five human solid tumor cell lines and antibacterial activity against twenty clinically isolated methicillin-resistant strains. This is the first report on the isolation of these compounds from a marine source.

1-Acetyl-$\beta$-carboline was isolated as an anti-MRSA agent from the fermentation broth of a marine actinomycete isolated from marine sediment. The producing strain was identified to be Streptomyces sp. by phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence. The anti-MRSA agent was isolated by bioactivity-guided fractionation of the culture extract by solvent partitioning, ODS open flash chromatography, and purification with a reversed-phase HPLC. Its structure was elucidated by extensive 2D NMR and mass spectral analyses. Combination of 1-acetyl-$\beta$-carboline with ampicillin exhibited synergistic antibacterial activity against MRSA.

Bioactivity-directed fractionation from the seeds of Annona cherimolia resulted in the isolation of two known cytotoxic compounds : corrosolin (1) and compound-2 (2). The structures of these compounds were characterized on the basis of chemical and spectral data. Corrosolin has a relative stereochemical relationship of threo/trans/threo for the mono-tetrahydrofuran (THF) ring with two flanking hydroxyls, from C-15 to C-20, which is the annonacin type. Compound-2 has a relative stereochemical relationship of threo/trans/threo/trans/threo for the adjacent bis-THF ring with two flanking hydroxyls, such as in the asimicin type. The absolute configurations of carbinol carbons in corrosolin in corrosolin were determined as 10R, 15R, and 20R by analysis of its Mosher ester derivatives. Corrosolin and compound-2 are known, but are first isolated in this plant.

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of a methanolic extract of Buddleja officinalis led to the isolation of two monoterpenes, crocusatin M (1), crocusatin C (2), a flavonoid, acacetin (3), three lignans, lariciresinol (4), pinoresinol (5), and syringaresinol (6), and two triterpenoidal saponins, mimengoside B (7) and songarosaponin A (8). The structures of isolates were identified based on 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS data analysis. All isolates were tested for their inhibition on LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. As a result, mimengoside B (7) and songarosaponin A (8) showed a mild inhibitory activity of NO production.

Further bioactivity-directed fractionation of the ethanol extract of the seeds of Annona cherimolia has led to the isolation of two mono-tetrahydrofuran acetogenins, xylomaticin (1) and gonionenin (2). The structures of these compounds were characterized on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 and 2 have a relative stereochemistry relationship of threo/trans/threo across the mono-tetrahydrofuran ring with its two flanking hydroxyls. Compounds 1 and 2 are known, but are first isolated from this plant. In brine shrimp lethality test (BST), 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity.

Among 12 marine bacterial strains from the China coast that exhibited interesting bioactivity (positive for both antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities), only four strains, namely, NJ6-3-1, NJ6-3-2, NB-6, and YTHM-17, had a KS domain or A domain when screened for PKS and NRPS genes using a PCR. Interestingly, two of these strains belonging to Pseudoalteromonas and associated with the marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve were positive for both PKS and NRPS, whereas the other two strains of Pseudoalteromonas did not have a PKS or NRPS gene. A molecular phylogeny analysis and DGGE analysis of the Pseudoalteromonas sp. indicated that they had a specific affinity with the host marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve. Furthermore, an analysis of a partial sequence of Pseudoalteromonas sp. NJ6-3-2 isolated from the marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve obtained from genomic walking using a computational approach indicated a relatively complete PKS module including auxiliary domains (DH, KR, and Cy).

주요 농업해충인 담배거세미나방에 대하여 높은 생물활성을 보이는 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki KB099 균주의 내독소단백질의 특성이 검토되었다. 이 균주의 내독소단백질은 효소 처리 없는 SDS-PAGE 결과 HD-l 균주에서는 일부 용해되어 130 kDa과 60 kDa의 두 개의 단백질밴드가 나타났으나 KB099균주에서는 용해되지 않고 130kDa의 밴드만이 관찰되었다. KB099균주의 내독소단백질에 감수성 해충인 담배거세미나방의 중장액으로 소화하였을 때에는 약 60 kDa 단백질밴드가 형성됨을 확인하였다. 또한 두 균주의 각각의 내독소단백질에 감수성해충의 소화액으로 반응시켰을 때 생물활성이 약했던 HD-l균주는 약6시간 만에 주요 밴드가 사라지는데 비해 활성이 강한 KB099균주는 12시간이상 까지도 활성밴드가 유지되다가 24시간 정도에서 밴드가 사라졌다. KB099균주가 생산하는 내독소단백질 유전자의 탐색을 위한 PCR실험에서 Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1C, Cry1D 그리고 Cry1I 등 6개의 유전자가 존재함을 확인하였다.

On-line screening high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-$ABTS^+$ assay를 이용한 청호로부터 chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, vitexin, queretin, aremisinin의 항산화 활성을 온라인스크리닝 하였다. 이때 침적방법을 적용한 추출시간과 추출용매 조성으로부터 추출효율을 확인하였다. 이 결과 100% 물 추출물에서 수율이 가장 좋왔고 chloroenic acid의 항산화 활성이 가장 높았다. 또한 on-line screening HPLC-$ABTS^+$ assay 분석은 천연물에서 항산화 활성을 신속하게 탐색하는데 효율적이다.

본 연구에서는 간염치료제로 효과가 있는 민간제제(NS-P)의 성분 분석 및 항균 활성과 항산화 활성을 연구하였다. 이 NP-S는 그람 양성균인 Staphylococcus aureus와 그람 음성균인 Salmonella typhimurium 그리고 진균인 Candida albcans에 항균 활성을 보여 주었을 뿐만 아니라, 지질의 과산화를 억제하는 항산화 활성을 나타냈다. 이러한 NP-S는 C/H/N/S의 원소비가 15.5/4.8/11/10으로 황(S)이 상당히 많이 존재하고 있으며, 휘발성 물질인 암모니아를 2.11M 함유하고 있었다. 이 외에도 6.7의 펩타이드, 0.3의 유리 아미노산, 0.1의 무기 인산염을 함유하고 있으며, 미량 원소로서 Cl, Si, Mg, Zn도 함유하고 있다.
