이순현,이주희,한용문,Lee, Soon-Hyun,Lee, Jue-Hee,Han, Yong-Moon 대한약학회 2005 약학회지 Vol.49 No.2

Candida albicans, a polymorphic fungus, causes systemic and local infections. Recent reports show that the fungus is a main etiological agent for the arthritis. For trea tment, antifungal drugs and/or rheumatoid drugs are used, but resistance and side effects limit application of the drugs. In search of new sources for treatment of the fungal arthritis, we choose Egb 761 (extract of Ginkgo leaves 761), one of the most popular over-the-counter herbal medicines. The Egb 761 contains two major ingredients such as terpene and flavonoid. In the present study, we examined if the terpene portion of Egb 761 had anti-inflammatory activity against C.albicans-caused arthritis. The terpene was extracted with combination of methanol and water from the Egb 761, followed by gel-permeation chromatography. Presence of terpene was determined by the Salkowski colorimetric method and HPLC analysis. For an animal model of inflammation induction, mice were given an emulsion form of C.albicans cell wall mixed with Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) by footpad-injection. Results showed that intraperitoneal administration of the water-soluble portion that contained terpene and flavonoid reduced the inflammation. Whereas the terpene had anti-inflammatory activity, flavonoid portion had no such activity, For determination of possible mechanism of the activity, the terpene seemed to be suppression of nitric oxide (NO) production from LPS-treated macrophages. Taken together the Ginkgo terpene may have anti-inflammatory effect against C.albicans-caused arthritis, possibly by blocking NO production.

고원진(Won-Jin Koh),서용모(Yong-Mo Seo) 한국콘텐츠학회 2020 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 Vol.20 No.4

본 연구는 최근 인간의 건강을 위협하는 다양한 원인 중에서 우리 주변에서 흔히 접할 수 있는 대상을 통해 그 원인의 해결을 제안하고자 시도 되었다. 천연물 유래의 테르펜의 경우 기존의 피톤치드와 같은 역할을 하고 있으며 다양한 생리활성 기능을 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리주변에서 용이하게 구할 수 있으며 적용이 가능한 생물소재를 통해 오염원을 제거할 수 있는 생리활성을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서는 계피오일과 테르펜을 이용하여 다양한 질병과 오염원이 되고 있는 진드기와 미생물에 대한 효능을 검증하였다. 본 실험에서는 우리가 흔히 사용하는 베개를 이용하여 베게 등과 같은 침구류에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 미생물과 진드기의 발생에 대한 작용에 대해 그 효능을 검증하였다. 그 결과로 테르펜의 항 미생물 활성은 Pour plate 방법을 사용하여 관찰하였다. 항진드기 효과는 테르펜을 사용하지 않고 첫 번째 테스트에서 베개 4개 중 2개에서 약한 양성(100 미만)으로 감지되었다. 테르펜을 사용한 두 번째 실험에서, 모든 시료들이 20 미만으로 음으로 감소되는 것으로 확인되었으며, 테르펜의 최상의 항진드기 효능은 20%인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 연구의 목적은 천연물 유래의 테르펜을 이용한 침구용 항균 및 진드기 방지 제품의 개발 가능성을 제안하는 것이다. The purpose of this study is to check the antimicrobial activity of terpene, a natural product-derived extract against bedding bacteria, and compare the number of bacteria detected. To this end, the number of mites and microbiological surveys were conducted on the pillows used at home to identify the presence of pathogenic strains that could cause the disease. Also, after two weeks test using pillow with terpene, a natural origin extract, the rate of reduction of fungi before and after the use of the substance and the effect of eradicating mites were evaluated. The antimicrobial activity of the terpene was observed by using the Pour plate method. The anti-mite effect was detected as weak positive (less than 100) in 2 of 4 pillows in the first test without the use of terpene. In the second experiment using a terpene, all were confirmed to be reduced to negative less than 20. The best anti-mite efficacy of terpene was found to be 20%. The purpose of this study is to suggest the possibility of developing antibacterial and anti-mite spray products for bedding using terpene.

테르펜 개질 페놀 수지는 타이어의 주행 안전성과 관련 있는 웨트 트랙션과 연비와 관련된 구름저항을 개선하기 위해 사용한다. 이 시험은 테르펜 개질 페놀 수지의 기본 구조가 각각 알파 피넨, 베타 피넨, 델타 리모넨으로 달리한 수지를 타이어 트레드 배합물에 첨가하여 알킬 페놀 수지의 배합물과 물성 차이를 비교하였다. 알킬 페놀 수지는 웨트 트랙션과 관련 있는 0 ℃에서 탄젠트 델타가 테르펜 개질 페놀 수지와 큰 차이가 없지만 구름저항과 관련 있는 80 ℃에서 탄젠트 델타가 높게 나타나 연비 개선 효과가 적었다. 테르펜 개질 페놀 수지 중 베타 피넨은 웨트 트랙션과 연비 개선 효과가 다른 수지에 비해 고르게 나타났으며, 델타 리모넨 수지는 웨트 트랙션 개선효과가 가장 좋았고, 인장강도 및 마모 성능은 알킬 페놀 수지가 비교적 높게 나왔다. 모든 테르펜 개질 수지는 구름저항에서 알킬 페놀 수지보다 우수하여 연비 개선효과 좋다고 할 수 있으며, 블랭크에 비해 다른 특성도 나아지는 효과를 보였다. 이 시험에서 사용된 페놀 수지의 특성을 참고하여 타이어 컴파운드를 배합할 때 개질된 테르펜 페놀 수지를 선택하면 웨트 트랙션, 구름저항 등의 특성을 효과적으로 개선한 컴파운드를 만들 수 있다. Terpene-modified phenolic resins were used to improve the tires wet traction related to the driving safety and also rolling resistance related to fuel efficiency. In this work, alpha-pinene, beta pinene, and delta limonene resins, which constitute different basic structures of terpene-modified phenolic resins, were individually added to the tread compounds of tires and their physical properties were compared with those of the alkyl phenol resin compounds. Alkyl phenolic resins showed no significant difference in tangent delta from terpene-modified phenolic resins at 0 ℃, which is related to wet traction, but showed higher tangent delta at 80 ℃, which is related to rolling resistance, indicating smaller fuel efficiency improvement effects. Among the terpene-modified phenolic resins, beta pinene one showed improved wet traction and fuel efficiency compared to those of other resins. Delta limonene resin showed the best wet traction improvement effect, and alkyl phenolic resins showed relatively high tensile strength and abrasion property. All terpene-modified resins exhibited better rolling resistance than those of alkyl phenolic ones so that they can be said to have better fuel efficiency improvement effects and also to improve other properties compared to those of blanks. Terpene-modified phenolic resins could be used when mixing tire compounds referring to the properties of the phenolic resins revealed in this work, which could result in preparing compounds with improved wet traction and rolling resistance.

Numerical and Experimental Analyses Examining Ozone and Limonene Distributions in Test Chamber with Various Turbulent Flow Fields

ITO, Kazuhide The Society of Air-Conditioning and Refrigerating 2008 International Journal Of Air-Conditioning and Refr Vol.16 No.3

Indoor ozone has received attention because of its well-documented adverse effects on health. In addition to the inherently harmful effects of ozone, it can also initiate a series of reactions that generate potentially irritating oxidation products, including free radicals, aldehydes, organic acids and secondary organic aerosols (SOA). Especially, ozone reacts actively with terpene. The overarching goal of this work was to better understand ozone and terpene distributions within rooms. Towards this end, the paper has two parts. The first describes the development of a cylindrical test chamber that can be used to obtain the second order rate constant $(k_b)$ for the bi-molecular chemical reaction of ozone and terpene in the air phase. The second consists of model room experiments coupled with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of the experimental scenarios to obtain ozone and terpene distributions in various turbulent flow fields. The results of CFD predictions were in reasonable agreement with the experimental measurements.

Pairing of Orthogonal Chaperones with a Cytochrome P450 Enhances Terpene Synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Soo Young MOON,So-Hee SON,Yeong-seon JANG,Seung Soo OH,Ju Young LEE 한국생물공학회 2021 한국생물공학회 학술대회 Vol.2021 No.10

The supply of terpenes is often limited by their low extraction yield from natural resources, such as plants. Thus, microbial biosynthesis has emerged as an attractive platform for the production of terpenes. Many strategies have been applied to engineer microbes to improve terpene production capabilities; however, functional expression of heterologous proteins such as cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) in microbes is amajor obstacle. This study reports the successful pairing of cognate chaperones and P450s for functional heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This chaperone pairing was exploited to facilitate the functional assembly of the protopanaxadiol (PPD) biosynthesis pathway, which consists of a P450 oxygenase and a P450 reductase redox partner originating from Panax ginseng and Arabidopsis thaliana, respectively. We identified several chaperones required for protein folding in P. ginseng and A. thaliana and evaluated the impact of the coexpression of the corresponding chaperones on the synthesis and activity of PPD biosynthesis enzymes. Expression of a chaperone from P. ginseng (PgCPR5), a cognate of PPD biosynthesis enzymes, significantly increased PPD production by more than 2.5-fold compared with that in the corresponding control strain. Thus, pairing of chaperoneswith heterologous enzymes provides an effective strategy for the construction of challenging biosynthesis pathways in yeast.

This study was carried out to investigate the antifungal activity and house dust mite repellent effect of cotton and silk fabrics dyed with Juniperus chinensis heartwood extracts by hot-water and methanol. The chemical composition of Juniperus chinensis heartwood extracts by hot-water and methanol was analyzed by GC-MS. In the case of antifungal activity, dyed fabrics with hot water extract had no effect against chaetomium globosum fungus. But showing no growth in fabrics dyed with methanol extract, dyed fabrics with methanol extract showed very excellent antifungal activity. Silk fabric dyed with methanol extract showed excellent house dust mite repellent effect of 94.3%∼96.0% against dermatophagodes farinae. The composition of Juniperus chinensis heartwood extracts from hot-water and methanol was different. There were no terpene and its analogue peaks in hot-water extract. However there were terpene and its analogue peaks in methanol extract. From these GC-MS results, terpene was identified in methanol extract of Juniperus chinensis heartwood. Efficient ingredient of antifungal activity and house dust mite repellent effect was assumed terpene.
