흰쥐 간정맥 및 간문맥에 PE10 튜브를 마취하에 이식시킨 후 5일째부터 고형사료와 10% creatine을 함유한 고형사료를 5일 동안 섭식 시켜 급속 냉동 시켰다. 냉동시킨 흰쥐 간장, 뇌 및 근육에서 creatine을 포함한 간장 metabolites을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 또한 간장세포내의 water compartment의 변화를 동시에 실시 하였다. Creatine을 섭식시킨 실험군은 정상 대조군과 비교하여 섭식에 의한 간세포내의 water compartment 에 벼노하를 주지 않았고 간장 세포내의 creatine농도에 있어서는 약 43배 이상 세포내 증가를 유도하였으며, 이는 세포외 및 세포내의 creatine의 gradient에 의해 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수가 있었고, 또한 동시에 뇌, 근육 등에서는 섭식에 의해 유의성 있는 농도 변화는 보이지 않았다. 이는 세포 외액속에 함유된 creatine 이 여러 수송기전에 의하여 간세포내로 흡착이 이루어진 것을 알 수 있었으나, 간세포 분리 시험법에로 Creatine Kinase 효소 활성도를 측정한 결과 non-parenchymal hepatocytes에서만 거의 100% 효소 활성도가 있음을 증명 하였다.

Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) have attracted great interest in recent researchers as alternative medicines for incurable diseases. This review focuses on qualitative and quantitative analytical approaches for bioactive metabolites of components flavonoids and saponins of traditional Chinese medicines by TLC system, although various methods have been introduced. Emphasis will be put on the processes of metabolite extraction from intestinal bacterial cultures or urines, separation (mobile phase) and detection. The identified metabolites by selection of extraction solvent and detection methods are also discussed. In addition, metabolite determinations of flavonoids (baicalin, apiin, rutin, quercetin, quercitrin, kaempferol, diosmin, hesperidin, poncirin, naringin, puerarin, daidzin, daidzein, tectoridin) and saponins (ginsenosides, kalopanaxsaponins, glycyrrhizin, chiisanoside, saikosaponins, soyasaponins) in culture fluid, in urine and in some herbal formula extracts are summarized. These bioactive metabolites of these components by intestinal microflora should be connected to pharmacological actions.

Microbial metabolites from rhizosphere soil samples mainly inhabitated by Streptomyces are selectively uptaken into plants. The culture broth of a Streptomyces strain K9301 showed a major metabolite which disappeared in the medium 24hrs after planting of seedlings. This metabolite was selectively uptaken in the rice plants as well as the wheat plants. We identified the targeted metabolite showing a strong UV-absorbing spot at Rf 0.6 on TLC to be 2-aminobenzamide.

A rapid and simple method for the determination of pentoxifylline and its major metabolite, metabolte(I) in plasma was examined by HPLC. For the purification and enrichment of drug from plasma, solid-phase extraction was examined using Sep-pak C18 cartridge. The effectiveness of test method was proved by monitoring of the rat after oral administration of pentoxifylline in a dose of 40mg/kg.

20-O-(${\beta}$-D-Glucopyranosyl)-20(S)-protopanaxadiol (IH901), an intestinal bacterial metabolite of ginseng saponins formed from ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2 and Rc, is suggested to be a potential chemopreventive agent. Here we show that IH901 induces apoptosis in human hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells.(omitted)

The LC/MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of sildenafil and its active metabolite N-demethylsildenafil in human plama was developed. Sildenafil. its active metabolite and the internal standard. DA-8159 were extracted form human plasma by liquid-liquid partitioning. A reverse-phase HPLC separation was performed on Luna phenylhexyl column with the mixture of acetonitrile-5 mM ammonium formate (55:45. v/v) as mobile phase. (omitted)

The relationship between environmental growth conditions of savory(Satureja hortensis) and Zn and vitamin B3 has been previously reported. Based on these results, HPLC and GC-MS were used to investigate the levels of phenolic compounds and perform metabolite analysis, respectively, in plants collected from different areas. Differences were observed in the levels of polyphenols and flavonoids depending on sampled areas and natural conditions. Next, HPLC and metabolite analyses confirmed the presence of bioactive substances. The results also showed that the longer the storage time, the higher was the content of carvacrol and of rosmarinic acid. Finally, the difference in the active ingredients was minimal when plants were cultivated under growth conditions similar to those in the place of origin.

The 7-keto-DHEA-acetate is converted to 7-keto-DHEA, a metabolite of DHEA, and similar to its metabolism. We studied the metabolite M3, M4, and M5 of 7-keto-DHEA-acetate. The estimated molecular weight of M3 and M4 was 304 which were supposed to have more 3 hydroxyl and/or ketone groups. We could know that M3 is the 7-OH-DHEA which has the hydroxyl groups on 3 and 7-carbon and a ketone group on 17-carbon. In case of M4, it is the 7-oxo-diol metabolite which has the hydroxyl groups on 3 and 17-carbon and a ketone group on 7-carbon. The M5 was supposed that the molecular weight is 320 and has the three hydroxyl groups on 3, 6, and 16 carbon and the ketone group on 17-carbon. After dosing, 7-OH-DHEA showed the maximum urine flow in human urine after 5 hr and decreased rapidly. But we could find it until 58 hr why is a higher remaining substance.

Background: Fermentation has been shown to improve the biological properties of plants and herbs. Specifically, fermentation causes decomposition and/or biotransformation of active metabolites into high-value products. Polyacetylenes are a class of polyketides with a pleiotropic profile of bioactivity. Methods: Column chromatography was used to isolate compounds, and extensive NMR experiments were used to determine their structures. The transformation of polyacetylene in red ginseng (RG) and the production of cazaldehyde B induced by the extract of RG were identified by TLC and HPLC analyses. Results: A new metabolite was isolated from RG fermented by Chaetomium globosum, and this new metabolite can be obtained by the biotransformation of polyacetylene in RG. Panaxytriol was found to exhibit the highest antifungal activity against C. globosum compared with other major ingredients in RG. The fungus C. globosum cultured in RG extract can metabolize panaxytriol to Metabolite A to survive, with no antifungal activity against itself. Metabolites A and B showed obvious inhibition against NO production, with ratios of 42.75 ± 1.60 and 63.95 ± 1.45% at 50 µM, respectively. A higher inhibitory rate on NO production was observed for Metabolite B than for a positive drug. Conclusion: Metabolite A is a rare example of natural polyacetylene biotransformation by microbial fermentation. This biotransformation only occurred in fermented RG. The extract of RG also stimulated the production of a new natural product, cazaldehyde B, from C. globosum. The lactone in Metabolite A can decrease the cytotoxicity, which was deemed to be the intrinsic activity of polyacetylene in ginseng.
