Rhdotorula glutinis epoxide hydrolase 유전자를 pColdI 벡터 와 pET-21b(+) 벡터에 재조합하여 제작한 E. coli를 생촉매로 사용하여 라세믹 styrene oxide에 대하여 회분식 가수분해 반응을 실시하였다. pET-21b(+)/RgEH 재조합 플라스미드 DNA를 가진 E. coli를 $15^{\circ}C$에서 저온 배양할 때 수용성 단백질 형태로 가장 많이 발현되었고, 입체선택적 가수분해 활성과 촉매 안정성이 가장 좋았다. 라세믹 styrene oxide 20 mM에 대하여 반응온도 $30^{\circ}C$에서는 반응시간 20분 동안에 수율 24.0%로 (S)-styrene oxide를 얻은 반면에, 반응온도를 $10^{\circ}C$로 낮추고 0.5% (w/v) Tween 20을 첨가하고 반응시키면 광학순도 99.0% ee 이상의 (S)-styrene oxide을 46.0%의 수율로 얻을 수 있었다. 최적조건에서 E 값은 6.68이었으며, 100 mM의 라세믹 styrene oxide에 대해서는 반응시간 50분에 이론 수율 50% 대비 40%의 높은 수율로 (S)-styrene oxide를 얻을 수 있었다.

The growth-inhibitory activity of Cassia tora seed-derived materials against seven intestinal bacteria was examined in vitro, and compared with that of anthraquinone, anthraflavine, anthrarufin, and 1-hydroxyanthraquinone. The active constituent of C. tore seeds was characterized as quinizarin, using various spectroscopic analyses. The growth responses varied depending on the compound, dose, and bacterial strain tested. At 1 mg/disk, quinizarin exhibited a strong inhibition of Clostridium perfringens and moderate inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus without any adverse effects on the growth of Bifidobacterium adolescentis, B. bifidum, B. longum, and Lactobacillus casei. Furthermore, the isolate at 0.1 mg/disk showed moderate and no activity against C. perfringens and S. aureus. The structure-activity relationship revealed that anthrarufin, anthraflavine, and quinizarin moderately inhibited the growth of S. aureus. However. anthraquinone and 1-hydroxyanthraquinone did not inhibit the human intestinal bacteria tested. As for the morphological effect of 1 mg/disk quinizarin, most strains of C. perfringens were damaged and disappeared, indicating that the strong activity of quinizarin was morphologically exhibited against C. perfringens. The inhibitory effect on aflatoxin $B_1$ biotransformation by anthraquinones revealed that anthrarufin ($IC_50,\;11.49\mu\textrm{M}$) anthraflavine ($IC_50,\;26.94\mu\textrm{M}$), and quinizarin ($IC_50,\;4.12\mu\textrm{M}$), were potent inhibitors of aflatoxin ${B_1}-8,9-epoxide$ formation. However, anthraquinone and 1-hydroxyanthraquinone did not inhibit the mouse liver microsomal sample to convert aflatoxin $B_1$ to aflatoxin ${B_1}-8,9-epoxide$. These results indicate that the two hydroxyl groups on A ring of anthraquinones may be essential for inhibiting the formation of aflatoxin ${B_1}-8,9-epoxide$. Accordingly, as naturally occurring inhibitory agents, the C. tora seed-derived materials described could be useful as a preventive agent against diseases caused by harmful intestinal bacteria, such as clostridia, and as an inhibitory agent for the mouse liver microsomal conversion of aflatoxin $B_1$ to aflatoxin ${B_1}-8,9-epoxide$.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio)의 microsomal epoxide hydrolase(mEH)로 추정되는 유전자를 클로닝하고 그 특성을 연구하였다. D. rerio의 mEH 추정단백질은 포유동물의 mEH 및 세균의 EH들과 아미노산서열 상동성을 보였으므로 결정분자구조(1qo7 및 1ehy)를 template로 하여 homology modelling을 행하였다. 클로된 단백질은 $Asp^{233}$, $Glu^{413}$ 및 $His^{440}$으로 구성된 catalytic triad와 2개의 tyrosine 잔기 및 oxyanion hole이 보존되어 있었다. 생물정보학적인 분석 및 EH 활성시험은 추정단백질이 D. rerio의 mEH라는 것을 보여주었다. Racemic styrene oxide를 기질로 하여 활성시험을 행한 결과, 재조합 D. rerio mEH는 (R)-styrene oxide을 입체선택적으로 가수분해하였으며 45분 반응시간에 99%ee의 광학순도를 가진 (S)-styrene oxide를 33.5% 얻을 수 있었다.

Differences in carotenoid composition in the integument of Korean bittering, Cheilognathus signifer and bride bittering, Rhodeus ukekii which are Korean native fresh water fish were compared. Total ca rotenoid contents in the integument of wild Korean bittering was 2.11mg% and composed of 42.6% zeaxanthin, 12.1% diatoxanthin and 12.1% lutein epoxide which are predominant carotenoids and 10.3% cynthiaxanthin, 8.3% zeaxanthin epoxide, 6.4% lutein and 1.5% cryptoxanthin which are minor carotenoids. Total ca rotenoid contents in the integument of wild bride bittering was 4.99mg% during a spawning period but after the spawning period it was decreased to 4.17mg% and carotenoid composition of bride bittering during the spawning period was 46.7% zeaxanthin, 26.5% diatoxanthin and 12.3% lutein which are predominant carotenoids, and 6.2% zeaxanthin epoxide, 3.1% cynthiaxanthin, 2.9% cryptoxanthin and 0.7% canthax anthin which are minor carotenoids. These results indicated that the carotenoid composition of bride bittering during spawning period was very similar to that of Korean bittering and carotenoid composition of bride bittering after the spawning period was 30.5% diatoxanthin, 21.5% cynthiaxanthin and 16.8% zeaxanthin which are predominant carotenoids and 14.0% cryptoxanthin, 11.3% lutein and 3.4% can thaxanthin which are minor carotenoids, indicating that after the spawning period, the content of zeaxanthin was decreased while that of cryptoxanthin and cynthiaxanthin was increased as compared to that of the spawning period. Total carotenoid contents in Korean bittering and bride bittering was relatively higher than that in other species of cyprinidae whereas composition of the carotenoid was similar.

에폭사이드 가수분해 효소를 이용하여 라세믹 에폭사이드 기질로부터 광학활성 에폭사이드 또는 vic-diol을 제조하는 동력학적 분할법은 이론 수율이 50%로 제한된다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 이론 수율 100%를 얻을 수 있는 다양한 생물전환 방법들이 최근에 개발되고 있다. 서로 상보적인 입체 및 위치특이성을 가진 에폭사이드 가수분해효소에 의한 광학수렴반응을 이용한 광학활성 vic-diol 제조법, 에폭사이드 가수분해효소가 촉발하는 cascade 반응을 통해 라세믹 haloalkyl 에폭사이드로부터 광학활성 epoxy alcohol 또는 THF를 제조하는 방법, ADH를 이용하여 haloketone을 환원시킨 다음 자발적인 cyclization 반응을 통해 광학활성 에폭사이드를 제조하는 방법들이 개발되었다. 이러한 방법들은 높은 광학순도를 가진 광학활성 물질들을 이론수율 100%로 제조할 수 있으므로 향후에 상업화 사례가 많아질 것으로 기대된다.

Large-scale resolution of epoxides by the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis was demonstrated in an aqueous/organic two-phase cascade membrane bioreactor. Due to the chemical instability and low solubility of epoxides in aqueous phases, an organic solvent was introduced into the reaction mixture in order to enhance resolution of epoxide. A cascade hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor was used (i) to minimize the toxicity of organic solvents towards the epoxide hydrolase of Rhodotorula glutinis, and (ii) to remove inhibitory amounts of formed diol from the yeast cell containing aqueous phase. Dodecane was selected as a suitable solvent and 1,2-epoxyhexane as a model substrate. By use of this membrane bioreactor, highly concentrated (0.9 M in dodecane) enantiopure (>98% ee) (S)-1,2-epoxyhexane (6.5 g, 30% yield) was obtained from its racemic mixture.

Epoxide hydrolase(EH) catalyze the enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic epoxides to corresponding diols. A recombinant Pichia pastoris with EH from Rhodotorula glutinis has been constructed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The recombinant biocatalyst enantioselectively hydrolyze (R)-styrene oxide faster than (S)-enantiomer. The catalytic activity of recombinant biocatalyst was 7-fold higher than that of wild-type strain. The recombinant EH biocatalyst can be used for kinetic resolution for the production of enantiopure styrene oxide.

A Caulobacter crescentus epoxide hydrolase(CCEH) from a recombinant Escherichia coli was purified to homogeneity using a three-step procedure. The CCEH protein was purified 7.3-fold with a 22.9% yield in overalll activity. The optimal reaction temperature and pH were determined to be $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. The addition of 10%(v/v) dimethylsulfoxide as a cosolvent improved the enantioselectivity of CCEH for a batch kinetic resolution of racemic indene oxide.

Many attention has been focused on developing new chemotherapeutic agents for a treatment of cancer from natural products. From Carpesium divaricatum S. et Z. (Compositae), various monoterpenoid compounds were isolated and exhibited mild antitumor activity against human tumor cell lines. These facts prompted us to explore the structure-activity relationship of these compounds. The synthesis of monoterpenoid compound was accomplished by Fries rearrangement, Grignard reaction, elimination, allylic oxidation, esterification and epoxidation as key steps. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, HCT15) of the synthesised compounds are as follows: First of all, epoxide moiety is prerequisite for cytotoxic activity in diester compound. Any kind of compounds with olefin or diol moiety instead of epoxide ring exhibited poor or mild cytotoxic activity respectively. Of o-acetoxy and isobutoxy epoxy esters, p-sub-stituted phenylacetate compounds exhibited high cytotoxic activities against SK-MEL-2 and HCT15.
