이 연구의 목적은 유해한 남세균인 Microcystis aeruginosa를 생물학적으로 제어하기 위해 남세균생장 억제미생물을 분리하고 그 효과를 조사하는 것이다. 이 연구에서 다양한 남세균생장 억제미생물이 분리되었고, 이중에서 M. aeruginosa의 생장을 효과적으로 억제하는 M1, M2, M3, M4로 명명된 4종의 균주를 분리하였다. 16S rRNA을 통해 동정된 M1~M4 균주는 모두 간균이고 그램 음성으로 나타났다. 분리된 단일종 뿐만 아니라, 혼합된 M1~M4 균주 4종의 공동배양이 M. aeruginosa를 효과적으로 처리하였다. 혼합 균주의 접종 2일 후에 약 50%의 클로로필 a가 감소되었고, 4일 후에 약 70%, 7일 후에 약 80%의 클로로필 a가 감소되었다. 이들 결과는 M1~M4 남세균생장 억제 균주가 유해한 M. aeruginosa를 제어하는데 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

Methanol extracts of leaves from 15 Pinus species belonging to the family Pinaceae were tested for their in vitro growth-inhibiting activities against 10 bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal tracts of human, using impregnated paper disk methods. The inhibitory activities varied with both bacterial strain and Pinus species used. At a concentration of 10 mg/disk, a clear growth inhibition was produced from the extracts of Pinus armandii, P. banksiana, P. bungeana, P. densiflora, P. rigida, and P. thunbergii against Clostridium perfringens, whereas all Pinus samples revealed weak or little growth-inhibiting activity against Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. At 5 mg/disk, the extracts of P. banksiana and P. thunbergii exhibited potent growth inhibition toward C. perfringens. All the extracts except the one from P. densiflora did not adversely affect growth of Bifidobacterium adolescentis, B. longum, B. bifidum, B. breve, B. animalis, and Lactobacillus casei. The growth-inhibiting activity was more pronounced in C. perfringens, as compared to the lactic acid-producing bacteria. These results may be an indication of at least one of the pharmacological activities of these Pinus species.

Cromakalim (BRL 34915), known as an airway smooth muscle relaxant, inhibited the releases of mediators in the antigen-induced mast cell activation. It has been suggested that cromakalim, in part, inhibited mediator releases by inhibiting the initial increase of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) produced by the activation of the other phospholipase system which is different from phosphatidylcholine-phospholipase D pathway. The aim of this study is to further examine the inhibitory mechanism of cromakalim on the mediator release in the mast cell activation. Guinea pig lung mast cells were purified by using enzyme digestion and percoll density gradient. In purified mast cells prelabeled with $[^3H]PIP_2$, phospholipase C (PLC) activity was assessed by the production of $[^3H]$insitol phosphates. Protein kinase C (PKC) activity was assessed by measuring the protein phosphorylated from mast cells prelabeled with $[{\gamma}-32P]ATP$, and Phospholipase $A_2\;(PLA_2)$ activity by measuring the lyso-phosphatidylcholine produced from mast cell prelabeled with 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonyl $phosphatidyl-[^{14}C]choline$. Histamine was assayed by fluorometric analyzer, and leukotrienes by radioimmunoassay. The PLC activity was increased by activation of the passively sensitized mast cells. This increased PLC activity was decreased by cromakalim pretreatment. The PKC activity increased by the activation of the passively sensitized mast cells was decreased by calphostin C, staurosporine and cromakalim, respectively. The $PLA_2$ activity was increased in the activated mast cells. The pretreatment of cromakalim did not significantly decrease $PLA_2$ activity. These data show that cromakalim inhibits histamine release by continuously inhibiting signal transduction processes which is mediated via PLC pathway during mast cell activation, but that cromakalim does not affect $PLA_2$ activity related to leukotriene release.

당근검은잎마름병균인 Alternaria dauci KACC42997에 대해서 32개 살균제를 선발하여 균사생장 억제효과를 조사한 결과, '다2'군, '다5'군, '사1'군, '마2'군, '마3'군에 속하는 살균제의 균사생장 억제효과가 우수하였다. Iminoctadine tris-albesilate를 제외한 '카'군에 속하는 보호살균제와 '다3'군에 속하는 pyraclostrobin은 병원균의 포자발아를 억제하는 효과가 우수하였다. 균사생장 억제효과가 우수했던 숙신산탈수소효소 활성을 저해하는 '다2'군과 탈메틸효소 활성을 저해하는 '사1'군 살균제는 우수한 균사생장 억제효과를 보여주면서도, 포자발아 억제효과는 저조하였다. 하지만 '다5'군에 속하는 fluazinam은 균사생장 억제효과뿐만 아니라 포자발아 억제효과도 우수하였다. 특별히 '다2'군에 속하는 fluxapyroxad를 100 ㎍/ml 처리한 경우, 배지 상에서 포자형성을 47.1% 억제하였다. 구미, 평창, 제주 등에서 분리한 검은잎마름병균 집단의 '사'군, '다'군, '마'군 살균제에 대한 저항성 요인값을 비교하면, 제주 지역 병원균 집단의 저항성 요인값이 가장 낮았다. 평창 지역 균주 집단에서 '마2'군에 속하는 fludioxonil 저항성 균주가 2개 발견되었으며, 그들은 모두 iprodione과 procymidone에 대해서 교차저항성을 보였다.

Benzotriazole 유도체들의 정량적인 구조와 발아후 벼(Oryzae sativa L) 및 피(Echinochloa crus-galli)에 대한 생장저해 활성값$(pI_{50})$사이의 관계들이 QSAR 방법으로 연구되었다. QSAR 분석에 의하면, 자유 라디칼 파라미터$(E_R)$가 매우 중요한 요소이었으며 $pI_{50}$ 값은 파라치환기(X)의 $E_R$ 파라미터에 대하여 포물선형의 관계를 나타내었다. (3)의 생장저해 활성은 (4)보다 우세하였으며 생장저해 활성이 가장 큰 화합물은 (3b)이었고 피의 생장저해 활성에 대한 $E_R$ 파라미터의 적정값은 각각 $E_R(3)=0.52$와 $E_R(4)=0.15$이었다. 분자설계 결과, 치환기(X)가 전자 끌게이고 적정값 (0.52)의 $E_R$ 파라미터를 가지는 분자가 가장 활성이 클 것으로 기대되었으며 Benzotriazole 유도체들의 생장저해 활성은 광합성반응(PS-II)에서 전자전달을 효과적으로 차단하는 결과로 믿어진다.

Bone is continuously remodeled by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoclasts play an important role in bone metabolism by resorbing the bone matrix. Thus, the compounds inhibiting osteoclasts can improve bone diseases such as osteoporosis. The methanol extracts of 159 herbal medicines were screened for the inhibitory activity against differentiation of osteoclasts. Among the tested extracts, Achuranthis Radix and Corydalis Tuber showed relatively strong inhibitory activity against differentiation of osteoclasts, whereas they have no significant effect on proliferation of osteoclasts.

To develope natural food preservatives of pine needle (Pinus densiflora Seib et Zucc.) extract, pine needle sap, ethanol and ether extracts were prepared for investigation of antimicrobial activities against food-related bacteria and yeasts. All extracts exhibited growth inhibiting activities for most of microorganisms tested. However, in general, growth inhibiting activities were higher in ethanol extract than in sap or ether extract. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of ethanol extract for Lactobacillus casei, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Escherchia coli were as low as 0.1 mg/ml, whereas MIC of sap or ether extract for most bacteria and yeasts were 0.25-0.8mg/ml, indicating that the ethanol extract showed the antimicrobial activity by 2.5 $\sim$8 times higher than the sap and ether extract. The antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract was reduced by heating or alkali treatment. Moreover, growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was completely inhibited within 24 hours by the addition of at least 50ppm of ethanol extract. These findings suggest that pine needle, specially the ethanol extrat may play a role for natural food preservatives.

Although a number of melanogenesis inhibitors have recently been reported and used as cosmetic additives, none is completely satisfactory, leaving a need for novel skin-depigmenting agents. Thus, to develop a novel skin depigmenting agent from natural sources, the inhibition of melanogenesis by Chinese plants was evaluated. A methanolic extract of Nigella glandulifera Freyn was found to inhibit the melanin synthesis of murine B16F10 melanoma cells by 43.7% and exhibited a low cytotoxicity (8.1%) at a concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/ml$. Thus, to identify the melanogenesis-inhibiting mechanism, the inhibitory activity towards tyrosinase, the key enzyme of melanogenesis, was further evaluated, and the results showed inhibitory effects on the activity of intracellular tyrosinase yet not on mushroom tyrosinase. Finally, to isolate the compounds with a hypopigmenting capability, activity-guided isolation was performed, and Dioctyl phthalate identified as inhibiting melanogenesis.

To evaluate the antitumor activity of Kamisagoonjatang(KST), Kami-jihwangtang (KJT) and Kamigoonjajihwangtang(KKJT), studies were done experimentally. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In cytotoxicity against B16-F10, HT1080, SNU, and L1210, con-centration inhibiting cell growth up to below 50% of control was recognized at $10^{-3}g/ml$ of KKJT. 2. In cytotoxicity against A549, SK-OV-3, XF498 and HCT15, concentration inhibiting cell growth up to below 30% of control was over $400{\mu}g/ml$ of KKJT only and also over $200{\mu}g/ml$ against SK-MEL-2. 3. In Inhibitory effect on activity of DNA topoisomerase I, the $IC_{50}$ was shown $200-400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, of KST, over $400{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of KJT and $100-200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of KKJT. 4. The T/C% was 122.8 in KJT, 127.4 in KST and 158.4 in KKJ-Ttreated group in S-180 bearing ICR mice. 5. In hematological changes in S-180 bearing ICR mice, numbers of WBC were decreased significantly in KJT and KKJT treated groups as compared with control, whereas those of platelet were increased with no significance in all groups as compared with control. From above results it was concluded that KKJT could be usefully applied for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
