The $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) gene from Lactobacillus brevis RO1 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli GMS407. The GUS gene was composed of 1,812 bp, encoding a 603-amino-acid protein belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 2 with three conserved domains. The amino acid similarity was higher than 70% with the $\beta$-glucuronidases of various microorganisms, yet less than 58% with the $\beta$-glucuronidase of L. gasseri ADH. Overexpression and purification of the GUS was performed in $\beta$-glucuronidase-deficient E. coli GMS407. The purified GUS protein was 71 kDa and showed 1,284 U/mg of specific activity at optimum conditions of pH 5.0 and $37^{\circ}C$. At $37^{\circ}C$, the GUS remained stable for 80 min at pH values ranging from 5.0 to 8.0. The purified enzyme exhibited a half-life of 1 h at $60^{\circ}C$ and more than 2 h at $50^{\circ}C$. When the purified GUS was applied to transform baicalin and wogonoside into their corresponding aglycones, $150\;{\mu}M$ of baicalin and $125\;{\mu}M$ of wogonoside were completely transformed into baicalein and wogonin, respectively, within 3 h.

Scutellariae Radix has been widely used as oriental herbal medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections in the respiratory or the gastrointestinal tract. In partition experiment for better understanding of herbal medicine with various solvents, baicalein or wogonin have more hydrophobic characteristics than baicalin or wogonoside. Unexpectedly, methylene chloride could extract more for baicalin or wogonoside over other active ingredients. New compound from baicalin is discovered casting frointier area on herbal medicine in the future. Application study with new molecule hydrolyzed from baicalin is on the way for better treatment of the patient against specific disease. The baicalin modified with reaction has been shown weak antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes 308A and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1771. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the baicalin modified compound against those strains were about $600\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In vitro antitumor experiment, $EC_{50}$ of baicalin modified with reaction was more than $300\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $EC_{50}$ of baicalein was $100\;{\mu}g/mL$. Among these compounds, baicalin exhibited high level of antitumor activity. $EC_{50}$ of baicalin was less than $33.3\;{\mu}g/mL$.

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Labiatae) has been extensively used in treatment of diarrhea, conjunctivitis, gastritis, enteritis and skin disease. As instructed in old description, the Scutellariae Radix should sometimes be processed before use. To 노디 light on the changes of chemical compositions by processing as well as processing method-activity relationships, Scutellariae Radix was heated at 16$0^{\circ}C$-20$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. in furnace or soaked with 20% EtOH (SPE) and boy's urine(SPU), respectively, which are one of processing methods and then heated at 17$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. To isolate the chemical components, Scutellariae Radix with/without processing were extracted with EtOH and EtOH extract was fractionated with ether, ethyl acetate and butanol to give respective fractions. Ether and EtOAc fractions obtained from the processed drug with urine (SPU) were subjected to chromatography to obtainsix components, oroxylin A, Wogonin, chrysin, baicalein, baicalein 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and $\beta$-sitosterol 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside. All the isolated compounds were identified by means of physicochemical and spectroscopic methods (IR, $^1H-NMR,{\;}^13C-NMR$, Mass). By HPLC determination, the changes of the contents for each isolated components from SPE and SPU samples were observed. It was found that the content of nonglycosidic flavones such as oroxylin A, wogonin, chrysin and baicalein was increased markedly, whereas the content of baicalin and baicalein 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside was significantly decreased in both samples as compared with those of Scutellariae Radix. When the sample was soaked with boy's urine, the total amount of nonglycosidic flavones was higher than that of processing with 20% EtOH.

In this study, baicalin, as a marker substance of Scutellariae Radix, was quantitatively analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector (HPLC-DAD). We identified wogonoside, baicalein, and wogonin in the Scutellariae Radix by a high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS). The baicalin was separated on a Xterra C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6{\times}250mm$) using mobile phase consisting of 38% acetonitrile in 0.68% phosphoric acid. The baicalin spectrum in the Scutellariae Radix extracts was coincided by comparing with UV-visible spectrum (200-550 nm) of baicalin standard in the library. The amount of baicalin in Scutellariae Radix was 10.46%, which is higher than KFDA's guideline. The marker substances of Scutellariae Radix showed a strong base peak $[M]^+$ in the positive detection mode following as; baicalin (m/z; $271[MH^+-sugar]^+$, $447[M+H]^+$), wogonoside (m/z; $285[MH^+-sugar]^+$, $461[M+H]^+$), baicalein (m/z; $271\;[M+H]^+$), wogonin (m/z; $285[M+H]^+$). These results are consistent with the fragment pattern and molecular weight of standard components from literature.

화학방부제는 항균활성은 좋지만 많은 부작용이 보고되고 있어 최근에는 인체에 해가 없으며 방부 기능과 자체 효능이 있는 천연방부제의 개발이 활발하다. 또한 천연물의 흡수율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 분자량이 커서 인체에 잘 흡수되지 않아 저분자화를 시키기 위한 방법으로 균주를 이용하여 발효하는 것도 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 이에 천연방부제가 방부 효과는 지속되어야 하고 첨가했을 때 품질에 손상을 주지 않아야 하며, 향, 색과 성분에 영향을 끼치지 않아야 한다는 요건들을 충족시켜야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 인체에 해가 없으며 항균활성이 좋은 황금, 단삼, 관중을 선정하였다. 식물은 모두 에탄올로 추출하였고, 발효균주로는 B. subtilis, L. casei, S. cerevisiae와 누룩에서 분리한 Asp. oryzae로 액체와 고체발효를 하여 발효 전과 발효 후의 유효성분의 함량을 비교하였다. 항균활성을 알아보기 위해 C. albicans, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa 세균 3종과 진균은 E. coli로 억제력을 탐색하였다. 천연방부제 개발로 사용하기 위해서는 항균활성이 있고 이러한 실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 원산지, 굵기와 용매에 따른 수율은 황금은 중국산이며 굵기는 2,800㎛로 50% ethyl alcohol 추출물에서 21.88%, 단삼은 국내산으로 굵기는 2,800㎛이며 50% ethyl alcohol 추출물에서 25.62%, 관중은 중국산으로 굵기는 2,800㎛, 70% ethyl alcohol 추출물에서 6.50%의 수율을 얻었다. 2. L. casei로 1일 액체 발효했을 때 수율은 황금 66.8%, 단삼 84.8%, 관중 73.0%였다. B. subtilis로 고체발효한 황금과 단삼은 24.40%, 39.30%, 관중은 L. casei로 발효 했을 때 11.10%의 수율을 얻었다. 3. 액체발효 후 황금에서 S. aureus 균주에 대하여 9mm 정도의 clear zone이 확인되었고, 단삼과 관중 발효에서는 항균력이 확인되지 않았다. 4. 황금을 L. casei로 고체발효 했을 때 C. albicans와 S. aureus에서 높은 항균활성을 보였다. 단삼은 S. cerevisiae로 고체발효 했을 때 S. aureus에서 항균활성을 보였다. 관중은 L. casei, S. cerevisiae로 고체발효 했을 때 E. coli와 S. aureus에서 항균활성이 높게 나타났다. 발효하지 않았을 때보다 발효 후의 항균활성이 매우 높았다. 5. 유효성분의 변화는 고체발효하지 않은 황금에서는 baicalin 101.57, baicalein 28.26, wogonin 5.33mg/g이었고, S. cerevisiae로 고체발효 했을 때는 baicalin 94.31, baicalein 30.41, wogonin 3.57mg/g로 baicalein의 함량은 증가된 것으로 확인되었다. 발효하지 않은 단삼에서는 salvianolic acid A가 1.82mg/g 이었으며, S. cerevisiae로 고체발효했을 때는 5.70mg/g으로 증가하였다. 관중의 유효성분은 flavaspidic acid AP, flavaspidic acid PB, flavaspidic acid AB, flavaspidic acid BB로 나타났다.

Seven flavonoid components were isolated from fr. C of Scutellariae radix which showed antagonistic effects against bradykinin(BK). The results indicated that two oxygen functions (either -OH or $-OCH_3$) at 2'- and 6'-positions and/or an oxygen function at 6-position of flavone seemed to be favored for the BK inhibitory activities. Skullcapflavone-II(IV) which contains $6-OCH_3$, 2'-OH and $6-OCH_3$ in the structure was the most active among the flavones tested.
