This study examined extracts from five different kinds of lees and nuruk and their organic solvent fractions in terms of several biological functions, such as anti-adipogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative activities. The anti-adipogenic activity was investigated by treating mouse pre-adipocyte 3T3-L1 cells with one extract (YE) and four organic solvent fractions (YAc, PAc, RAc, and WPAc) during adipogenesis. Among the treated samples, the ethyl acetate fraction of W-Ju lees (WPAc) showed the strongest anti-adipogenic effect, which was confirmed with oil red O staining and down-regulation of pro-adipogenic genes such as PPAR-gamma and SCD-1. Treatment with WPAc also reduced the expression of PPAR-gamma in a time-dependent manner. The effects of five different extracts were examined on nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse RAW 264.7 cells to determine anti-inflammatory activity. The ethyl acetate fraction of B-Ju lees (PAc) significantly decreased NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and it also inhibited NO production in a dose-dependent manner. The PAc fraction also dramatically decreased the viability of human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, PAc increased the expression of NAG-1 and ATF3 genes in a dose dependent manner. Overall, these results indicate that lees and nuruk have several biological functions, including anti-adipogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative activities.
