한국산 표고균(菌)의 생리적 조사의 일원으로서 이 균주(菌株)가 목재에서 생장시 필요로하는 목재분해 효소들의 특징 및 생성경향을 조사하였다. 각 효소들의 유도를 위한 배지로서는 각각 단일의 특정탄소원을 첨가한 배지를 사용하였고 이때 추출한 조효소를 효소용액으로 사용하였으며 이들 효소에 대한 최적온도 및 최적 pH등의 조건을 조사하였다. 또한 이 균주가 목재구성성분을 분해하는 기작을 간접적으로 추정하기 위하여 복합배지 및 통방배지 내에서의 각 효소생성 양상을 측정하였다. 이 균주가 목재성분을 분해할 때에는 cellulose와 hemicellulose의 하나인 xylan을 초기에 분해하여 이용하고, 조금지나서 pectin 질을 분해함을 알수있었다. 또한 이들기질들은 서로 상호작용에 의해 분해가 좀더 원활하게 이루어지게 하는데 효과가 있었다.

The production of cellulase by Pseudomonas sp. LBC505 isolated was under the strict genetic and biochemical control mechanisms such as catabolit repression and induction. These biochemical control reduced cellulase production. Thus LBC505 was mutated to increase enzyme yields. Cells growth and cellulase production were inhibited by the addition of 2-deoxy glucose (2-DG), which is presumed to function as repressor for the selection of high cellulase yielding mutant.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an inducible enzyme expressed in response to a variety of proinflammatory agents and cytokines. COX-2 expression has been shown to be elevated in several different types of human cancer. The presence of oncogenic ras has been associated with constitutive induction of COX-2 in certain H-ras transformed cells, and COX-2 overexpression confers resistance to apoptosis.(omitted)

Eight species of the genus Angelica in Korea were examined for the activity of affecting drug metabolism and for the presence of coumarins. The results showed that various parts, especially roots and fruits of Angelica plants had strong effects on drug metabolism and that they contained various derivatives of coumarins.

The paper aimed to review the influences of ginseng on the metabolism of foreign substances and on the activity of hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme system in mouse or rat liver. It has been known that ginseng components reduces the motality rates and the toxic effects induced by foreign materials. Chronic pretreatment of mouse or rat with ginseng extract fractions or saponin caused the increase in the metabolism of foreign materials and the activity of drug metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome $P_{450}$, NADPH cytochrome C reductase and glucuronyl S-transferase in liver. Thus, it may be concluded that decrease in toxic effect of foreign substances by ginseng pretreatment may be partly related to the induction of drug metabolizing enzymes in liver.

본 연구의 목적은 혈관계 순환을 촉진시키는 약효제를 발굴하는 것이다. 아사이베리(Acai berry) 에탄올 추출물(ABEE)의 항산화 효과 뿐만 아니라 토끼의 폐에서 유래한 angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)의 활성 및 대식세포와 혈관내피세포에서 nitric oxide 생성에 대한 효과가 본 연구에서 조사되었다. 먼저 환원력과 지질과산화에 대한 ABEE의 항산화효과가 관찰되었다. 뿐만 아니라, ABEE는 hydroxyl radical에 의하여 유발된 DNA 산화에 대한 보호효과를 보여주었다. 더욱이 ABEE는 0.01%의 농도에서 약 50% 정도의 angiotensin converting enzyme 활성에 대한 억제효과를 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다. 혈관내피세포에서 ABEE는 nitric oxide 의 생성을 증가시켰으나 대식세포에서는 lipopolysaccharide에 의하여 생성된 nitric oxide 생성을 감소시켰다. 게다가 superoxide dismutase (SOD)-2와 -3 발현수준은 ABEE 처리에 의하여 증가되었으나 SOD-1의 발현수준은 일정하였다. 더욱이 nitric oxide synthases-1 (NOS-1)의 발현수준은 ABEE 처리에 의하여 증가되었으나, 유발 효소인 NOS-2의 발현수준은 일정하였다. 또한 SOD의 전사인자인 Nrf-2의 발현수준은 ABEE에 의하여 증가되었다. 그러므로 이러한 결과들은 ABEE가 이상의 작용을 경유하여 혈액순환을 촉진시킬 수 있고, 혈관의 건강을 위한 큰 잠재성을 가지고 있다는 것을 암시하고 있다.

순수배양한 조류와 자연군집의 식물플랑크톤을 대상으로 유기인삼염해분해효소의 kinectic parameter를 비교하였고, 용존무기인의 농도와 각 parameter와의 관계를 알아보았다. 기질과의 친화력을 나타내는 AP$_{ase}$의 K$_{m}$은 조류의 종마다 매우 상이한 값을 보였다. Chlorella sp.를 제외한 녹조류가 다른 종에 비해 큰 K$_{m}$을 보였고, 규조류와 Chlorella sp.에서 작은 K$_{m}$을 보였다. 순수배양한 남조류 Anabaena flos-aquae에서 extracelluar free enzyme 의 K$_{m}$이 cell-bound enzyme의 K$_{m}$보다 작았다. 자연군집인 소양호에서는 남조류 Anabaena sp. 가 우점하였던 여름의 식물플랑크톤의 K$_{m}$이 규조류가 우점하였던 봄의 군집보다 컸다. AP$_{ase}$ 활성도의 V$_{max}$는 수중의 DIP 농도보다는 식물플랑크톤의 세포내 인의 함량에 직접적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 소양호에서 가을부터 봄까지 extracelluar free enzyme의 활성도가 총 AP$_{ase}$ 활성도의 36${\sim}$97%의 기여를 하였는데, 이는 이 시기에 extracelluar free enzyme이 호수의 인순환에서 매우 중요한 요인으로 작용한다는 것을 시사한다. 그리고 extracelluar free enzyme과 총 AP$_{ase}$의 K$_{m}$이 거의 비슷하였는데, 이는 extracelluar free enzyme이 조류로부터 기인되었기 때문으로 사료된다.

The relationships between tumor score and peroxidase activities of tomato stems infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A6Kl, B6, T372 11BNV6, 11BV7 and wounded stem as a control were examined in relation to crown gall tumor development on purpose to study the lignification of tumor tissue which is affected to the development of crown gall tumor. As the previous paper has been mentioned the fact that the induction of tumor tissues were inhibited or limited in the lignified stem of host plant. It was presumed that the activities of peroxidase related to the development of lignification were decreased during the period of tumor development. But the experimental result in this experiment shows that the peroxidase activities of crown gall tumor-tissues infected with the A. tumefaciens strains which are already known as virulent are increasing during four weeks, however, in the strain 11BNV6 and wound the peroxidase activities are decreasing on the second week after the inoculation of the bacteria strains. These results could be explained on the basis of that possible regulatory agents of lignification which were accumulated in tumor tissues, IAA, ascorbic acid, glutathion(GSH) and caffeic acid esters, were postulated to act as antioxidants which has been suggested by Stafford. Total nitrogen contents in relation to crown gall tumor development were determined for the detection of protein synthesis related to the enzyme activities which are increasing in the time of plant growth. Generally six groups are contained the largest amount of nitrogen on the second week after the inoculation of the bacterium. Comparing to the tumor score, it is presumed that the all of enzyme activities including peroxidase in tumor tissues are increasing from the second week through the third week after the inoculation of bacterium and the protein synthesis is stimulated under the most appropriated temperature during the above periods.

NAD(P)H:quinone reductase (QR) is one of the protective phase II enzymes against toxicity that accomplishes the capacity of detoxification by modulating the effects of mutagens and carcinogens. The detoxification mechanism is that quinone reductase promotes the 2-electron reduction of quinones to hydroquinones which are less reactive. This study is to search new inducers of quinone reductase from natural products, which can be used as cancer chemopreventive agents. Plant extracts were evaluated by using quinone reductase generating system With Hepa 1c1c7 murine hepatoma cell lines for enzyme inducing properties and crystal violet staining method for the measurement of cytotoxicity provoked. We have tested approximately 106 kinds of natural products after partition into n-hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous layers from 100% methanol extracts of natural products. The ethyl acetate fractions of Vitex rotundifolia $(fruits,\;2FC:\;12.7\;{\mu}g/ml)$, Cnidium officinale $(aerial\;parts,\;2FC:\;10.5\;{\mu}g/ml)$, Chrysanthemum sinese $(flowers,\;2FC:\;17.4{\mu}g/ml)$ and the hexane fractions of Angelica gigas $(roots,\;2FC:\;13.2\;{\mu}g/ml)$, Smilax china $(roots,\;2FC:\;l1.9\;{\mu}g/ml)$, Sophora flavescens $(roots,\;2FC:\;16.3\;{\mu}g/ml)$ revealed the significant induction of quinone reductase in a murine hepatic Hepa 1c1c7 cell culture system.
