In a search for novel treatments for diabetic complications from natural resources, we found that the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction from the 80% ethanol extract of the leaves of Homonoia riparia has a considerable inhibitory effect on advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation. Bioassay-guided isolation of this fraction resulted in identification of 15 phenolic compounds (1 - 15). These compounds were evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against the formation of AGE. The majority of tested compounds, excluding ethyl gallate (15), markedly inhibited AGE formation, with $IC_{50}$ values of $2.2-89.9{\mu}M$, compared with that of the positive control, aminoguanidine ($IC_{50}=962.3{\mu}M$). In addition, the effects of active isolates on the dilation of hyaloid-retinal vessels induced by high glucose (HG) in larval zebrafish was investigated; (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (6), corilagin (7), and desmanthine-2 (11) significantly decreased HG-induced dilation of hyaloid-retinal vessels compared with the HG-treated control group.

The methanolic extracts of some marine natural products were tested for investigating the effects on the formation of lipid peroxide and the activities of free radical generating enzymes. The methanolic extracts of Styela clava, Ecklonia stolonifera, Pachymeniopsis elliptica and Hypnea charoides which decreased the formation of lipid peroxide inhibited the activity of xanthine oxidase about 41, 20, 20 and 21% by adding $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ of each methanolic extracts, respectively. However, the four extracts didn't inhibit the activity of aldehyde oxidase.

Nature is one of the most important sources of pharmacologically active compounds in the search for drugs against life threatening diseases. Even though plants and terrestrial microorganisms have played as an important source for the new drug candidates from nature, marine organisms such as tunicates, sponges, soft corals, sea horses, sea snakes, marine mollusks, seaweeds, nudibranches, sea slugs and marine microorganisms are increasingly attracting attention in recent years. Marine organisms also have the potential to develop into future drugs against important diseases, such as cancer, a range of bacterial and viral diseases, malaria, and inflammations. Even though the mechanism of action in the molecular level of most metabolites is still unclear, the mechanisms by which they interfere with the pathogenesis of a wide range of diseases have been reported. The knowledge of this is one of the key factors necessary to develop bioactive compounds into medicines. This is due to their structurally unique and pharmacologically active compounds. The potential pharmaceutical, medicinal and research applications of some of these compounds are discussed in hundreds of scientific papers, and are reviewed here.

A new method for the quantitative determination of fucosterol in the marine algae Pelvetia siliquosa by gas chromatography was established. A HP-1 column programmed as $200^{\circ}C\;(5\;min)\;{\rightarrow}\;5/min\;{\rightarrow}\;280^{\circ}C\;(10\;min)$ was developed. The analysis of fucosterol in P. siliquosa was successfully carried out within 30 min.

Copper was exposed unsheltered and sheltered in four humid tropical sites, representing urban, urban-industrial, urban-marine and rural environments. The corrosion rates and the sequence of corrosion product formation are presented and discussed in relation with climatic and atmospheric pollution parameters. Chemical compositions of corrosion products were found to depend on environments and duration of exposure. In all environments, cuprite was the predominating corrosion product that formed first and continuously increased during the exposure. Among the sulphur-containing corrosion products, posnjakite and brochantite were more frequently found and the first formed earlier. Nantokite was the most common chlorine-containing products for most cases, except the high-chloride environment, where atacamite was detected instead. The corrosion rate of copper was well indicated by the colour of patina. The red-purple colour corresponded to the high corrosion rate and the greenish grey colour corresponded to the low corrosion rate. Corrosion rate of sheltered copper in urban-marine environment increased with the exposure time.

식물 유래 화합물은 다양한 생리활성과 구조 다양성으로 많은 연구자에게 관심을 받고 있으나 화합물 분리는 많은 시간 소요, 과량의 유기용매 소모와 분리과정 중의 활성성분의 유실 등의 어려움을 겪게 된다. 이러한 점을 극복하기 위하여 HPLC/SPE/HPLC를 결합한 Sepbox 분리시스템을 이용하여 고추잎 추출물에서 288개 분획물을 획득하였고 이 중에서 alpha-glucosidase 저해효능을 가지는 화합물인 luteolin 7-O-glucoside를 효과적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 고추잎에 풍부한 플라보노이드 다당체를 가수분해함에 따라 해당 활성이 증가함을 검증하였다. 그러므로 본 연구결과는 Sepbox 시스템이 생리활성 평가와 결합할 경우 식물 내 유용물질 탐색에 효과적임을 보여주었다.

An analog of antibacterial sulfated alkene against Bacillus subtilis was isolated from a species of tunicate (Mideoduck), Styela clava, cultured at Jindong Bay, Korea. The structure was determined as 4,8-dimethyl-3-nonenyl sulfate by MS and spectral analysis such as UV IR and NMR.

A new ${\alpha}-pyrone$ derivative, violapyrone J (1), and along with the two known violapyrones B (2) and C (3) were isolated from the fermentation broth of a marine actinomycete Streptomyces sp. SC0718. The structure of violapyrone J (1) was elucidated from 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses.

우리나라 여러 해양환경 지역으로부터 확보한 370주의 해양세균, 균류, 미세조류로부터 기초생리활성(항산화, 항염, 항균, 항암, 항바이러스)을 조사하여 채집지, 분리원, 종(種) 수준에서의 활성결과를 비교하였다. 해양세균의 경우, 일반적으로 유용성이 많이 알려진 Streptomyces 속과 Bacillus 속에 속하는 균주들이 두드러진 강한 효능이 관찰되었고, 주로 해양퇴적물로부터 유용한 자원을 분리할 수 있었다. 해양균류와 미세조류의 경우에도 종 특이적으로 활성이 강하게 나타나는 결과를 확인할 수 있었고, 효능 특이적으로 활성을 보이는 결과도 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 추후 특정질병에 선택적으로 효능을 보이는 화학물질 연구 또는 자원 기반 연구 수행 시 유용성을 전제로 한 자원 확보 전략 수립과 산업 활성화를 위한 전략소재로 우선적 접근이 용이할 수 있는 연구결과라 생각된다. 또한, 이들 결과를 해양바이오 뱅크를 통한 분양소재로 활용함으로써 학계, 산업계에서 활용하여 해양바이오산업 활성화에 좀 더 빠른 접근을 도울 수 있다고 생각한다.
