(120) In order to isolate and purify flavonoids from the ethyl acetate fractions obtained by the method in <Example 2>, the ethyl acetate fractions were subjected to silica gel chromatography (200-400 mesh) using a mixed solvent (50:11:1) of hexane and ethyl acetate to yield 7 fractions (A-E).
(121) Fraction A (4.2 g) was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a mixed solvent (100:11:1) of hexane and acetone to yield 9 fractions (A1-A9). Fractions A3 and A4 (460 mg) containing compounds 5 and 9 were subjected to a Sephadex LH-20 (Pharmacia Biotech AB, Uppsala, Sweden) using 80% methanol as a solvent to isolate compound 5 (25 mg) and compound 9 (18 mg). Fraction B (8.9 g) was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a mixed solvent (100:11:1) of chloroform and acetone to yield 10 fractions (B1-B10). Fractions B4 to B6 (512 mg) containing compounds 4 and 7 were subjected to silica gel chromatography using a mixed solvent (35:15:1) of hexane and acetone to isolate compound 4 (24 mg) and compound 7 (23.2 mg). Fraction C (1.8 g) was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a mixed solvent (50:11:1) of hexane and acetone to yield 9 fractions (C1-C9). Fractions C6 to C8 (362 mg) containing compounds 1 and 2 were subjected to reverse phase chromatography (ODS-A, 12 nm, S-150) using a mixed solvent (4:1) of methanol and water to isolate compound 1 (42 mg) and compound 2 (33.2 mg). Fraction D (13.1 g) was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a mixed solvent (50:11:1) of hexane and acetone to yield 25 fractions (D1-D25). Fractions D2 to D10 (613 mg) containing compounds 6 and 8 were subjected to reverse phase chromatography (ODS-A, 12 nm, 5-150) using a mixed solvent (4:1) of methanol and water to isolate compound 6 (21 mg) and compound 8 (19 mg). Fraction E (13.1 g) was subjected to silica gel chromatography using a mixed solvent (50:11:1) of hexane and acetone to yield 12 fractions (E1-E12). Fractions E3 to ES (308 mg) containing compound 3 were subjected to a Sephadex LH-20 (Pharmacia Biotech AB, Uppsala, Sweden) using 80% methanol as a solvent to isolate compound 3 (17 mg).
(122) As a result, 9 geranylated flavonoid compounds, namely, 3-O-methyldiplacol (compound 1, 42 mg), 4-O-methyldiplacol (compound 2, 33.2 mg), 6-geranyl-3,3,5,5,7-pentahydroxy-4-methoxyflavone (compound 3, 17 mg), 3-O-methyldiplacone (compound 4, 24 mg), 4-O-methyldiplacone (compound 5, 25 mg), 6-geranyl-3,5,5,7-tetrahroxy-4-methoxyflavanone (compound 6, 21 mg), minulone (compound 7, 23.2 mg), diplacone (compound 8, 19 mg), and 6-geranyl-4,5,7-trihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyflavanone (compound 9, 18 mg) were isolated.

(146) In order to identify neuraminidase inhibition effect of 9 flavonoid compounds isolated in <Example 3>, fluorescence analysis was performed. Neuraminidase of 33 family was an enzyme hydrolyzing 23 and 28 glycosidic linkages of sialic acid residues.
(147) Specifically, in order to determine IC.sub.50 of the compounds for neuraminidase, 0.01 U/ml of neuraminidase (EC. 3.2.1.8, C. perfringens, SIGMA, N2876) as an enzyme, 4-methylumbelliferyl-a-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (SIGMA, M8639) mixed in 0.1 mM acetate buffer [50 mM sodium acetate (pH 5.0)] as a substrate, and inhibitors dissolved in methanol in each concentration were prepared. Fluorescence analysis was observed by SpectraMax M3 through excitation at 365 nm and emission at 450 nm (gain 40 nm). The activity analysis was performed on a 96 well plate (SPL Life Sciences, Korea) by providing total 200 l of a solution comprising an enzyme (10 l), a substrate (20 l), an inhibitor (10 l), and an acetate buffer (160 l). By plotting initial rates of inhibition reactions occurring at different concentrations of inhibitors, the inhibition capability was evaluated. IC.sub.50 values were calculated in accordance with the following Mathematical Formula 1:

(149) As a result, as shown in Table 1, it was found that the geranylated flavonoid compounds (compounds 1-9) had high inhibition activity for neuraminidase. Compounds 1-3, 6 and 8 exhibited IC.sub.50 values at nanomolar levels. Compound 8 having the best inhibition activity exhibited the lowest IC.sub.50 values of 0.110.003. It was also found that other compounds significantly inhibited neuraminidase activity (Table 1). Further, as shown in Table 2, it was found that the geranylated flavonoid compounds (compounds 1-9) isolated from fruits of Paulownia tomentosa inhibited neuraminidase activity depending upon concentration (

(151) In order to examine how the compounds of the present invention according to the results summarized in <Experimental Example 1> inhibit neuraminidase activity, Lineweaver-Burk and Dixon plots were created.
(152) Specifically, based on results summarized in <Experimental Example 1>, the reactions occurring in the reaction mass of substrates and inhibitors in various concentrations were analyzed by fluorescence emitting values. Data analysis was performed using changes in fluorescence values as a slope for 20 minutes. The changes in fluorescence values were measured every 20 seconds and evaluated by Lineweaver-Burk and Dixon plots.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
(155) The present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting neuraminidase activity comprising geranylated flavonoids derived from Paulownia tomentosa as active ingredients. The extract of Paulownia tomentosa and geranylated flavonoids isolated from the extract exhibit significant neuraminidase inhibition activity, wherein neuraminidase plays an important role in inflammation accompanied by pathogenic viral and bacterial infections. Therefore, the extract of Paulownia tomentosa or geranylated flavonoids isolated from the extract can be effectively used in a composition for inhibiting neuraminidase activity as an active ingredient.
