Nine sesquiterpene lactones, which were isolated from Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge, Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich var. latilobum Kitamura and Chrysanthemum boreale Makino were evaluated for the inhibition upon the nitric oxide release from the Raw cell and for the ACAT (acyl Co A: cholesterol acyltransferase) inhibitory assay. In the nitric oxide release inhibitory experiment, hemistepsin B $(IC_{50}\;=\;0.05\;{\mu}g/ml,\;0.15\;{\mu}M),$ cumambrin B, tulipinolide and costunolide exhibited strong inhibition with $IC_{50}$ values $0.05\;{\mu}g/ml\;(0.15\;{\mu}M),\;0.1\;{\mu}g/ml\;(0.38\;{\mu}M),\;0.2\;{\mu}g/ml\;(0.69\;{\mu}M)$ and $0.2\;{\mu}g/ml(0.86\;{\mu}M),$ respectively. In the ACAT inhibitory assay, angeloylcumambrin B, tigloylcumambrin B, tulipinolide and costunolide exhibited strong inhibition with $IC_{50}$ values $33\;{\mu}g/ml\;(95.4\;{\mu}M),\;22\;{\mu}g/ml\;(63.6\;{\mu}M),\;38\;{\mu}g/ml\;(151\;{\mu}M)$ and $17\;{\mu}g/ml(73.3\;{\mu}M),$ respectively, whereas other compounds did not exhibit significant activity against ACAT above $100\; {\mu}g/ml.$.

A ${\beta}$-glucosidase from Penicillium italicum was purified with a specific activity of 61.8 U/mg, using a chromatography system. The native form of the enzyme was an 88.5-kDa tetramer with a molecular mass of 354 kDa. Optimum activity was observed at pH 4.5 and $60^{\circ}C$, and the half-lives were 1,737, 330, 34, and 1 hr at 50, 55, 60, and $65^{\circ}C$, respectively. Its activity was inhibited by 47% by 5 mM $Ni^{2+}$. The enzyme exhibited hydrolytic activity for p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (pNP-Glu), p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-cellobioside, p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-xyloside, and cellobiose, however, no activity was observed for p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-lactopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside, carboxymetyl cellulose, xylan, and cellulose, indicating that the enzyme was a ${\beta}$-glucosidase. The $k_{cat}/K_m\;(s^{-1}mM^{-1})$ values for pNP-Glu and cellobiose were 15,770.4 mM and 6,361.4 mM, respectively. These values were the highest reported for ${\beta}$-glucosidases. Non-competitive inhibition of the enzyme by both glucose ($K_i=8.9mM$) and glucono-${\delta}$-lactone ($K_i=11.3mM$) was observed when pNP-Glu was used as the substrate. This is the first report of non-competitive inhibition of ${\beta}$-glucosidase by glucose and glucono-${\delta}$-lactone.

The purpose of this study was to compare the quality characteristics of silken tofu products from the commercial market in Korea. Seven types of commercial silken tofu were sampled and their physicochemical properties, including soluble solid contents, salinity, pH, total acidity, moisture contents (total solid contents), crude protein and fat contents were evaluated. The TPA results suggest that the texture of silken tofu was very different from one another according to the type of and the amount of coagulant. The commercial silken tofu showed a range of pH 5.53~6.48, total acidity of 0.12~0.32%, soluble solid contents of 2.62~5.07 °Brix, salinity of 2.28~4.30%, and moisture contents of 87.10~92.24%, respectively. In terms of the coagulant of tofu, besides the GDL (glucono-δ- lactone), other coagulants such as MgCl₂ for making 'silken tofu' in the Korean tofu market. The quality characteristics differed depending on the constituents of sample and the coagulants of tofu used. These results are expected to be useful in identifying new trends in the domestic silken tofu industry.

팽창제 종류에 따른 시간별 가스 발생 속도 및 쿠키 텍스쳐에 대하여 살펴보았다. 본 실험에 사용된 가스 발생 장치에 의해서도 가스 발생 속도에 따라 크게 3타입으로 구분할 수 있었으며 이는 소암모늄명반을 제외하고는 문헌의 결과와 일치하였다. 속효성 평창제로는 주석산, 주석영, 후말산, 소암모늄명반이었고 이단 반응성 팽창제로는 산성피로인산나트륨, 무수모노인산칼슘, 소명반이었으며, 지효성 팽창제로는 중탄산암모늄, 중탄산나트륨, 글루코노-델타-락톤, 염화암모늄 등이었다. 제품 팽창률이 가장 높았던 것은 중탄산암모늄이었고 후미 면에서 가장 깨끗한 것은 글루코노-델타-락톤이었다. 팽창률이 높을수록 texture profile graph상에서 multi-peak를 나타내어 brittleness가 뛰어났으며 단순회귀분석에 의해, 팽창률과 brittleness간에 상관관계가 있음을 입증하였다$(r^2=0.8176)$. 중탄산암모늄을 사용한 쿠키 제품의 brittleness가 가장 높았다.

We recently reported that Val-SN-38, a novel valine ester prodrug of SN-38, had greatly improved the intracellular accumulation of SN-38 in MCF-7 cell line, probably through enhanced uptake via amino acid transporters. In the present study, the efficacy of Val-SN-38 was further investigated both in vitro and in vivo. It was found that the in vitro cytotoxic effect of Val-SN-38 was similar to that of SN-38. Moreover, Val-SN-38 exhibited an equal potency to that of SN-38 in survival experiments in vivo. Because these results seemed to be contrary to the previous finding, further investigation was performed to find out the underlying cause of the contradiction. As only the lactone form is known to have cytotoxic activity, the proportion of lactone in Val-SN-38 and SN-38 was determined, but no differences were found. However, it turned out that Val-SN-38 had poor stability compared with SN-38, which resulted in a decrease in beneficial efficacy for Val-SN-38. Overall, the present study showed that a valine-added prodrug approach could be advantageous provided that the stability of the compound can be ensured. We believe this is a noteworthy study that unravels the discrepancy between intracellular accumulation and efficacy of valine-added prodrug.

Chrysanthemum boreale Makino (C. boreale) is widely distributed in Asian countries, and has traditionally been used to treat various inflammatory diseases including bronchitis. In this study, we aimed to isolate biologically active compounds from leaves and stems of C. boreale. Chemical components were purified by column chromatograpy and recyclic HPLC, and characterized from their spectral data (IR, MS, NMR). Biological activity experiments were conducted for Farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) activity, apoptosis and nitirc oxide (NO) release. As a results, three sesquiterpene lactones were isolated. Compound 1 (4-methoxy-8-O-acetyl-10-hydroxy-2,11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed strong cytotoxic activities having an average growth inhibition of 50% ($GI_{50}$) value of $1.89{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Compound 1 also showed a low half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) value of $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ for NO release. In the caspase 3 activity, compound 1 and compound 2 (8-O-(2-carbonyl-2-butyl)-3,10-dihydroxy-4,11(13) -guaiadiene-12,6-olide) exhibited 94% and 90% apoptosis inhibition activity, respectively. Compound 3 (4,8-O-diacetyl -10-hydroxy-2(3),11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed a strong inhibitory effect on FPTase activity with 90% inhibitory activity at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. These results clearly show the presence of lactone compounds in the leaves and stems, which may partially contribute to the pharmacological activity of C. boreale.

This study is a report on combinational effects between four sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) from bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) leaves, and oxytetracycline (OTC) or amoxicillin (AMX) against four fish pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio anguillarum, V. harveyi, Edwardsiella tarda, and Streptococcus iniae. Individually, four SLs exerted little antibacterial activity against fish pathogenic bacteria. However, when combined with OTC or AMX, they showed synergistic interaction against pathogenic bacteria. Especailly, zaluzanin C (1) reduced the MIC of OTC (or AMX) eight-fold. Our results showed that combinations of SLs with antibiotics (ABTs) are more effective than ABTs alone to control pathogenic bacteria. The highest synergistic effect was observed when zaluzanin C (1) was combined with OTC or AMX against V. harvey or S. iniae, displaying significant reductions of MICs up to 8-fold (0.125 to 0.015 ㎍/mL and 0.0078 to 0.0009 ㎍/mL). In addition, zaluzanin C (1) improved the antibiotic potency of OTC against OTC resistant V. harveyi (250 ㎍/mL to 62.5 ㎍/mL). Synergism between ABTs and phytochemical such as SLs could be a therapeutically helpful concept to improve the efficacy of ABTs and prevent antibiotic resistance. These results suggest that SLs can be used as an alternative to reduce antibiotic resistance in aquaculture.

A series of 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-fluoro-D-apiosyl nucleosides 15, 16, 17 and 18 were synthesized enantiomerically with L-Gulonic- ${\gamma}$-lactone as the starting material. The reduction of butenolide 1 with DIBAL-H followed by the Luche procedure afforded the allylic alcohol 2. Ozonolysis and the reduction of compound 4 induced the cyclized lactol, which was acetylated to give the acetate 7. Condensation of the acetate 7 with silylated pyrimidine ($N^4$-benzoyl cytosine) and a purine base (6-chloropurine) under Vorbruggen conditions and deblocking afforded a series of fluorinated apiosyl nucleosides.
