Bioassay-guided fractionation of an ethanol extract of the brown alga, Dictyota dichotoma, led to the isolation of a novel chlorine-containing perhydroazulene diterpene together with two known diterpenes, dictyolactone and sanadaol. The structure of the novel compound, named dictyol J, was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic information. Dictyolactone showed the highest algicidal activity against red-tide phytoplanktons among the three isolated compounds.

By the method of two-dimensional paper chromatography of the polyphenolic substances in apple fruit, three spots were detected, i.e., L-epi-catechin which was epimerized to L-cate-chin by heating, D-catechin which gave a small spot and was epimerized to D-epi-catechin, and chlorogenic acid which was hydrolized to caffeic acid (Fig. 1).<br> In these, L-epi-catechin and chlorogenic acid were isolated in crystalline form from fresh apple fruit (Kokko). These were expectedly oxidized by polyphenol oxidase of apple fruit (Fig. 2).<br> Catechins were estimated by nephelometry (Fig. 4), and chlorogenic acid was estimated by cdlorimetry (Fig. 4), and the relation was studied between the contents of these polyphenols and the quality of apple fruit, but no evidence was obtained (Table 2).

Continuous decolorization of molasses waste water by mycelia of <i>Coriolus versicolor</i> Ps4a was studied using waste water from a baker's yeast factory, treated by means of methane fermentation and with activated sludge. Optimum decolorization with bare pellet-type mycelia in shaking flasks needed the addition of glucose (0.5%) and peptone (0.05%) and aerobic conditions (1ppm of dissolved oxygen). Continuous decolorization in a bubbling column reactor showed a decolorization yield of approximately 75% in only 20 hr at a dilution rate (<i>D</i>) of 0.03hr<sup>-1</sup> under the optimum conditions.<br> In order to continue the decolorization for a longer time, mycelia immobilized within Ca-alginate gel were tested in a bubbling column reactor under the optimum conditions. The immobilized mycelia showed an almost constant decolorization yield (65.7%) during continuous decolorization for 16 days at <i>D</i>=0.22hr<sup>-1</sup>.

The distribution of molasses pigment (melanoidin) decolorizing activity (MDA) was investigated in various Basidiomycetes. MDA was only found in some genera of the white-rot-fungi group of which <i>Coriolus versicolor</i> Ps4a showed high activity, a decolorization yield of approximately 80% under the optimal conditions. Production of MDA by <i>C. versicolor</i> was almost completely coincident with the growth of mycelia. The main MDA was due to intracellular enzymes and induced by the molasses pigment. The induced enzyme consisted of two types, namely a sugar dependent enzyme and a sugar independent enzyme. The decolorization by <i>C. versicolor</i> was due to the decomposition of the molasses pigment.

Melanoidin decolorizing enzymes (MDE) were extracted from mycelia of <i>Coriolus versicolor</i> Ps4a and purified by DEAE-Sephadex, DEAE-Sephacel and Sephadex G-200 column chromatographies. MDE of this strain consisted of a main fraction, P-fraction, and a minor fraction, E-fraction, and the P-fraction was composed of at least five enzymes. P-III and P-IV in the P-fraction were picked as typical enzymes of this strain, and their enzymatic properties were investigated. P-III had a molecular weight of 48, 400-50, 000, an optimum pH of 5.5 and an optimum temperature of 30-35°C. P-III required glucose and O<sub>2</sub> for the appearance of the activity, and was inhibited by <i>p</i>-CMB, <i>N</i>-BSI, Ag<sup>+</sup> and <i>o</i>-phenanthroline.<br> On the other hand, P-IV had a molecular weight of 43, 800-45, 000, an optimum pH of 4.0-4.5 and an optimum temperature of 30-35°C. P-IV could decolorize melanoidin in the absence of glucose and O<sub>2</sub>, and was inhibited weakly by Ag<sup>+</sup>, <i>p</i>-CME and <i>N</i>-BSI. P-IV is the enzyme that attacks the melanoidin directly in comparison with P-III which attacks melanoidin indirectly as in the sub-reaction of sugar oxidase.<br> Incidentally, a multiplicative effect between P-III and P-IV for decolorization was observed.

AmyR is a Zn(II)<SUB>2</SUB>Cys<SUB>6</SUB> transcriptional activator that regulates expression of the amylolytic genes in <I>Aspergillus</I> species. Subcellular localization studies of GFP-fused AmyR in <I>A. nidulans</I> revealed that the fusion protein preferentially localized to the nucleus in response to isomaltose, the physiological inducer of the amylolytic genes. The C-terminal domains of AmyR, designated MH3 (residues 419–496) and MH4 (residues 516–542), were essential for sensing the inducing stimulus and regulating the subcellular localization. The MH2 domain (residues 234–375) located in the middle of AmyR was required for transcriptional activation of the target genes, and the nuclear localization signals were identified within the N-terminal Zn(II)<SUB>2</SUB>Cys<SUB>6</SUB> DNA binding motif.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of green tea made from leaves incubated in an anaerobic condition (Gabaron tea) on the blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). No difference was found in the mean body weight of the control groups (first group, fed on water; second group, fed on ordinary green tea) and the experimental group (third group, fed on Gabaron tea) throughout the test period. The mean blood pressure of the three groups was identical at 160 mmHg in the pre-test period. The mean blood pressure of the experimental group was 158 mmHg, whereas the control groups shared 163_??_167 mmHg one week after the experiment started. The blood pressure of the experimental group was significantly lower than pressures of the <br>control groups (<i>P</i><0.01).<br> In all groups, the mean blood pressure increased gradually from 10 to 20 weeks of age. The mean blood pressure of the experimental group was about 150 mmHg, and those of the control groups reached 175_??_180 mmHg. The mean blood pressure of the experimental animals was 14_??_17% lower than the pressures of the control animals at 20 weeks of age (<i>P</i><0.01). The hypotensive effect on SHR fed the Gabaron tea infusion disappeared when the animals were returned to ordinary green tea intake at 20 weeks of age.

Rosemary, plantago, and tea tree oil have been customarily used for the treatment of the common cold, but the detailed mechanisms of these antitussive effects are not well known. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the antitussive properties of these herbs using a capsaicin-induced cough model in guinea pigs. Rosemary (10, 30μL/kg, <i>p.o.</i>), plantago (10, 30mg/kg, <i>p.o.</i>), and tea tree oil (10, 30μL/kg, <i>p.o.</i>) produced dose-dependent and significant antitussive effects. Methysergide (a serotonin receptor antagonist), but not naloxone (a opioid receptor antagonist), antagonize the antitussive effects of plantago and tea tree oil. On the other hand, neither methysergid nor naloxone had a significant effect on the antitussive effect of rosemary. Furthermore, γ-terpinene, terpinene-4-ol, cineole, and α-pinene, main components of tea tree oil and rosemary, significantly inhibited the number of capsaicin-induced coughs in guinea pigs. These results suggest that the antitussive effects of plantago and tea tree oil may depend on central mechanisms (modulation of serotonergic systems). On the other hand, the antitussive effects of rosemary may depend on peripheral mechanisms. Furthermore, it is suggested that γ-terpinene, terpinene-4-ol, cineole, and α-pinene may play an important role in the antitussive effects of tea tree oil and rosemary.

Cranberry, which is rich in polyphenols, including anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, has been found to have various effects beneficial to human health, including prevention of urinary tract infections. These effects have been associated with polyphenols in the fruit. We investigated the excretion of anthocyanins in human urine after ingestion of cranberry juice. Eleven healthy volunteers consumed 200 ml of cranberry juice containing 650.8 μg total anthocyanins. Urine samples were collected within 24 h before and after consumption. Six of 12 anthocyanins identified in cranberry were quantified in human urine by HPLC coupled with electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI–MS–MS). Among these, peonidin 3-O-galactoside, the second most plentiful anthocyanin in the juice, was found most abundantly in urine within 24 h, corresponding to 41.5 nmol (56.1% of total anthocyanins). The urinary levels of anthocyanins reached a maximum between 3 and 6 h after ingestion, and the recovery of total anthocyanins in the urine over 24 h was estimated to be 5.0% of the amount consumed. This study found high absorption and excretion of cranberry anthocyanins in human urine.
