전통된장 제조방법으로서 원료 혼합비, 메주의 건조시간 및 온도, 메주와 된장의 발효 시간 및 온도, 된장 간장의 분리 여부, 된장 숙성(aging) 시간을 조사하였다. 혈액응고 저해 활성(anticoagulant activity)을 fibrin clotting assay법으로 분석하여 혈액응고 저해활성과 제법간의 상관 관계를 검토하였다. 숙성 기간이 길수록 혈액응고 저해활성이 높게 나타나는 경향을 보였으나 선형적인 상관관계보다는 비선형적으로 양의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 혈액응고 저해활성이 높은 2종의 된장시료를 선발하였으며 숙성기간이 180일 이상일 경우 전통된장의 혈액응고 저해활성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다.

The in vitro anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities of crude extracts from insects were evaluated in order to find effective therapeutic drugs for the treatment of myocardial and cerebral thrombosis. We prepared three types of extracts (water, methanol and ethylacetate) from 28 insects for use as raw materials for the activity assays. The fibrinolytic activity was tested using the fibrin plate method and the activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time were measured for blood clotting activity. With regards to the fibrinolytic system, water extracts of six kinds of insects displayed a remarkable level of activity with a plasmin-like action. The water extracts of [Catharsius molossus, Eupolyphaga sinensis, Huechys sanguinea, Mantidis $o\ddot{o}theca$, Mimela splendens, and Polistes mandarinus (Vespae Nidus)] exhibited the activity. On the other hand, the methanol extracts did not display any fibrinolytic activity. In terms of the coagulation system, an aqueous extract of silkworm Tongchunghacho (Paecilomyces japonica), Oxya japonica japonica and Buthus martensi (Scorpion) increased the clotting time significantly longer (181 times) than the control. These results suggest that crude drugs from insects are useful sources for the development of new drugs for use in treatments involving blood coagulation and fibrinolysis.

The constituents from the needles of the pine tree, Pinus densiflora, were purified and investigated for antithrombotic activity. The needles were initially extracted three times with 70% ethanol, and the extract was sequentially fractionated with chloroform and n-butanol. The aqueous layer formed after n-butanol fractionation was subjected to purification by medium pressure and high pressure liquid chromatography. The two neolignans, 2, 3-dihydro-7-hydroxyl-3-hydroxymethyl-2-(4'-hydroxyl -3-methoxyphenyl)-5-benzofuranpropanol-3-O-${\alpha}$-rhamnopyranoside (a neolignan glycoside) and 2, 3-dihyro-3-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxy-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl-3'-methoxy)-5-benxofuran propanol 4'-O-${\alpha}$-rhamnopyranoside (icariside $E_4$) were identified by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra. The effect of the purified compounds, the neolignan glycoside and icariside $E_4$ on thrombin inhibition were investigated by measuring thrombin clotting time in plasma. As a result, the clotting of the neolignan glycoside was delayed four times compared to that of icariside $E_4$. In addition, an analysis of the inhibition effect by changing the concentration showed that the clotting time was delayed in accordance with an increase in the concentration of the neolignan glycoside. Furthermore, we examined the interaction of thrombin and fibrinogen to clarify the action mechanism. As a result, the delay of clotting time in the response of thrombin and pure fibrinogen may indicate that neolignan glycosides inhibit the thrombin action in a direct manner, leading to the suppression of fibrin generation.

Antithrombotic function of doenjang was investigated using thoroughly desalted aqueous extract. In the presence of the extract, thrombin suffered loss of its fibrin-clotting activity, whose extent increased in a dose-dependent manner. The active substance involved in thrombin inhibition showed a high thermal stability. Results of Sephadex G-25 permeation chromatography indicated that there were at least two soluble thrombin inhibitors in doenjang with different molecular sizes.
