Sixty-one strains representing the main genera of wood-decaying xylariaceous fungi (mainly in Daldinia, Hypoxylon, Kretzschmaria, Rosellinia, Penzigia, and Xylaria) were tested for their ability to produce ligninolytic enzymes. The phenol oxidase activity and fungal growth of the xylariaceous fungi on gallic aicid and tannic acid media showed a variation in their ability to degrade lignocellulose. A number of species showed equal 개 betterligninolytic enzyme activities than Coriolus versicolor, a known basidiomycete wood-degrader. A large variation of the enzyme activity was observed by individual strains as well as a substantial variation between the isolates of the same species. The most frequent ligninolytic enzymes were peroxidase and general oxidase. With 19% of the strains tested, peroxidase showed the strongest ligninolytic enzyme activity, while tyrosinase activity was detected only in 7% of the strains. All strains of Kretzschmaria and Rosellinia tested was positive for laccase. Xylariaceous fungi were able to degrade the macromolecule, lignin, using each specific ligninolytic enzyme in the specfic lignin degradation pathway.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of the water extract of the puffer fish Fugu xanthopterus(FXH) on the alcohol induced hyperuricemia. The normal group and the FXH treated group showed no sigbificant changes in the levels of blood uric acid but, the blood uric acid significantly decreased in the FXh treated rats with 100mg/kg for two weeks compared to the ethanol treated group. There were no significant changes in the activities of uricase, adenosine deaminase, guanine deaminase, and purine uncleoside phosphorylase, among all the test group. But the activitis of liver xanthine oxidase were recovered to the normal level in ethanol +FXH treated group comparing to the ethanol treated group. Furthermore, ethanol+FXH treated rats showed the similar pattern in the levels of blood uric acid and urinary allantoin with normal group. These results indicate that the decreased blood uric acid by the FXH treatment of the alcohol induced hyperuricemia rats may result from decreased activity of hepatic xanthine oxidase.

In continuation of the previous work (The New Medical Journal, Vol. 12, No. 3, 111, 1969), the effects on the bactericidal activity against coli form group, on vitamin C content and ascorbate oxidase activity of the purple laver due to the $^{80}Co$ gamma-irradiation were studied. The results obtained are ; 1) After the 0.1m rad./hr. doses treatment of gamma-irradiation for 1 hours to the laver, the coli form group was being remarkably destoryed and after the application for 10 hours the coli form group was completely destroyed. 2) The content of vitamin C was gradually decreased during the gamma-irradiation to the laver. According to the sensory test, no changes in flavor nad color were indicated for 9-10 hours treatment. But, the loss of ascorbic was much than that of dehydroascorbic acid after 10-hour treatment. 3) And also, the ascorbate oxidase activity due to the irradiation waas conspicuously decreased.

Objective : The Korean famous medicinal prescription of Subi-jeon was investigated for their antidepressant effects by tail suspension test, hot plate test, reserpine-induced hypothermia test. In addition, the monoamine oxidase activity was determined in vivo. Methods : The methanol extract reduced dose-dependently the duration of immobility in the tail suspension test, by 31.4 and 34%(p<0.05) at doses of 500mg/kg and 1g/kg, respectively, compared with control group. In comparison with this, the effect of the water extract was very weak. Results : 1. In the hot plate test, the methanol extract potently increased the jump latency time(p<0.05) compared to the control group, exhibiting the inhibition rate of 197% and 256% at doses of 500mg/kg and 1g/kg(per os), respectively, which is more effective than the water extract. 2. Both extracts suppressed the fall of body temperature induced by reserpine(reserpine-induced hypothermia) in a dose-dependent manner, showing the less effect at lower doses and better effect at higher doses compared to the water extract. 3. Both extracts inhibited the brain monoamine oxidase activity in an in vivo assay compared to the control group, the activity of water extract was better than that of the methanol extract. Conclusion : The prescription of Subi-jeon can be useful for the prevention and treatment of depression.

본 연구에서 찔레꽃을 추출, 농축 및 동결 등을 통하여 시료화 하였다. 찔레꽃추출물과 ascorbic acid의 복합물과 단일 ascorbic acid의 항산화 효능을 비교하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 찔레꽃추출물과 ascorbic acid의 시너지 효과를 통한 항산화 효능을 분석하는 것이었다. 실험은 전자공여능, ABTS⁺ radical 소거능, SOD 유사활성, xanthine oxidase 저해 활성, 환원력, FRAP, 폴리페놀 함량 및 플라보노이드 함량을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 전자공여능 실험과 xanthine oxidase 저해 활성 실험에서 복합물이 대조군(ascorbic acid)보다 높은 항산화 활성을 보였다. 플라보노이드 함량 분석 실험의 경우, 100 ㎍/mL의 농도에서 RMW+A (272.1 mg QE/g), RME+A (90.6 mg QE/g), RMW+A (79.4 mg QE/g)이 대조군(19.0 mg QE/g)보다 함량이 더 높았다. 따라서 찔레꽃추출물과 ascorbic acid 복합물은 단독 사용한 경우에 비하여 시너지 효과를 발휘했다. 따라서 이 복합물은 항산화 화장품에 사용할 경우 제품의 안정화 및 피부노화 억제에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 왕겨를 이용한 항산화, 항노화에 효과적인 초액을 대량생산하여 기능성을 검증하고 왕겨초액 내의 기능성물질을 분석하여 사업화의 가능성을 타진하고자 하였다. 정제된 왕겨초액을 분획하여 기능성이 확인된 부분을 HPLC 기기를 이용하여 확인한 결과 caffeic acid 외에 7종의 polyphenol 유래물질에서 기능성을 확인하였다. 기능성 화장품소재 시험으로는 세포 생존율 측정(MTT assay), 주름개선 (collagenase inhibition assay, elastase inhibition assay), 미백(tyrosinase inhibition assay), 항산화 시험(DPPH free radical scavenging assay, SOD-like activity, xanthine oxidase inhibition assay)이 실시하였다. 피부주름형성은 콜라겐의 합성과 분해가 중요한 원인으로 작용한다고 알려져 있지만, 최근 많은 연구에서 엘라스틴의 재형성과 분해 또한 주름형성 기전에서 중요한 작용을 하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 왕겨초액은 $100{\mu}L/mL$의 농도에서 collagenase 저해효과가 100%, elastase 저해효과가 55% 이상으로 주름개선 효과가 우수하였다. 왕겨초액은 $100{\mu}L/mL$의 농도에서 tyrosine에 대한 tyrosinase 저해효과가 80% 이상으로 미백효과가 우수하게 나타났다. DPPH radical 소거율, xanthine oxidase 저해와 SOD-like 활성을 이용하여 항산화 효과를 측정하였다. 왕겨초액 $100{\mu}L/mL$의 농도에서 DPPH radical 소거율이 80%, xanthine oxidase 저해효과가 80%, 그리고 SOD-like 활성이 100%를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 정제 왕겨초액을 이용한 산업화를 위한 가능성을 타진하여 효과가 좋음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과로 왕겨초액을 이용한 기능성 화장품의 소재로 뿐만 아니라, 식품 및 의약외품의 품목허가를 통하여 고부가가치의 상품화소재로의 가능성이 있다고 사료됩니다.
