Abstract
An examination of the kinetic properties of UDP-glucose, (1,3)-<TEX>$\beta$</TEX>-glucans (callose) synthase, from mung bean seedlings (Sorbus commixta cortex) shows that these enzymes have a complex relationship with UDP-glucose and various effectors. Fluorescence assay showed that deoxynojirimycin increased the inhibitory effect of (1,3)-<TEX>$\beta$</TEX>-glucan synthase in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of sakuranetin (34.34%) was higher than that of deoxynojirimycin (80.63%). Disk diffusion method revealed that sakuranetin inhibited the growth of Candida albicans to a 1.5 mm inhibition zone. These results suggest that sakuranetin, isolated from Sorbus commixta cortex extract, can be used as stable antifungal material.
