From the legumes of Albizzia julibrissin Durazzini (Leguminosae), a mixture of long-chain alcohols, ${\alpha}-spinasterol$, a mixture of acylated sterol glycosides and ${\alpha}-spinasteryl$ $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ were isolated. Two mixtures of long-chain alcohols and acylated sterol glycosides were characterized as 1-hexacosanol (major) and 1-tetracosanol, and $3-O-[6'-O-palmitoyl-{\beta}-D-glucosyl]-{\alpha}-spinasterol$ (major) and its 6'-O-stearoyl ester. All compounds were identified on the basis of spectral data and chemical reactions.

To investigate the possible mechanism of ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ as a candidate of anti-cancer drug, I examined the effects of ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ on the apoptosis of U937 cells MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blot analysis, and RT-PCR were performed. ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ treatment reduced the cell viablilty of U937 cells in a dose-dependent manner, which was associated with the induction of apoptotic cell death. ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ treatment also reduced the levels of Bcl-xL anti-apoptotic protein expression and increased the levels of caspase-3, p53, pro-apoptotic protein, in U937 cells. After treatment the level of Bcl-xL, anti-apoptotic gene expression was decreased and the level of ICE pro-apoptotic gene expression was increased. These findings suggest that ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ induced the apoptotic cell death via regulation of several growth regulatory gene products. The abbreviations used are: FBS, fetal bovine serum; PBS, phosphate buffered saline; PI, propidium iodide; OD, optical density; DiOC6, 3,3-dihexyloxa carbcyanine iodide; MTT, 3 [4-5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl] -2-diphenyltetrazolium bromide.

미국자리공의 뿌리로 부터 추출한 분획물에 대한 생물활성을 관찰하였다. 그 중 에틸아세테이트 추출 분획물에서 분리한 $\alpha$-spinasterol가 식물의 초기생육에 있어서는 $10{\mu}g/ml$의 낮은 농도에서도 뿌리의 괴사를 유발시킴으로서 식물체 전체에 대한 고사까지 초래하였다 미생물에 대한 생장 억제 효과로서는 Mucor racemosus에 대하여는 그 값이 $200{\mu}g/disk$ 정도로 높은 억제력을 보였다. 그러나, 두종류의 공시된 동물 암세포에 대한 세포독성은 미약하였다.

This study was carried out for the identification and bioassay of bioactive compounds which isolated from Phyutolacca americana L. obtained results are summarized as follows: 1. Two biological active compounds were found from crude extracts of P. americana roots, using the systematic solvent fractionations, such as ethyl acetate fraction and butanol fraction. One biological compound was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction with silicagel column chromatography, which was identified as a ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ by spectral analysis of IR, H-NMR, C-NMR and MS. The other one is isolated from butanol fraction which was identified as phytolaccoside E by spectral analysis of IR, H-NMR, C-NMR and MS. 2. The ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ and phytolaccoside E induced necrosis of primary root and resulted in death of the tested plant. These two compounds strongly inhibited to the growth of Mucor racemous and Phytophthora infestants but did not inhibited the growth of Colletotricum lagenarium and Fusarium oxisporum. 3. Cytotoxicity of the two biological active compound was exammined to the two different animal cancer cell lines (L1210, K562). The phytolaccoside E has some cytotoxical activity to the growth of cancer cell lines (L1210, K562) but $\alpha$-spinasterol has not cytotoxical effect.

The effect of Codonopsis ussuriensis on red blood cell(RBC) count in rats was investigated. Among various fractions tested, a significant increase of RBC was observed in animal group treated with ether extract. From the ether soluble fraction, two compounds were isolated and their structures were elucidated as ${\alpha}-spinasterol$ and ${\beta}-sitosterol$ by chemical and spectral analyses.

It was established that .alpha.-spinasterol (I) was isomerized by hydrogen chloride to a mixture of two isomers. These isomers were separated into each of components and identified as .DLETA.$^{8(14),22}$ -stigmastadienol (III) and ${\delta}$$^{14,22}$ -stigmastadienol (IV), respectively. The mass spectra of these compounds were found to be particularly suitable to idetify the position of nuclear double bond of sterols possessing 22 : 23 -double bond in side chain.

Phytochemical works on the aerial parts of Aster oharai (Compositae) led to the isolation of a new sesquiterpene hydroperoxide, 7$\alpha$-hydroperoxy-3, 11-eudesmadiene (2) and seven known compounds, teucdiol B (1), $\alpha$-spinasterol (3), oleanolic acid (4), $\alpha$-spinasterol 3-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (5), methyl 3,5-di-Ο-caffeoyl quinate (6), 3,5-di-Ο-caffeoylquinic acid (7), 3,4-di-Ο-caffeoylquinic acid (8). The chemical structures of 1-8 were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. Compound 2 showed cytotoxicity against cultured human tumor cell lines in vitro, SK-OV-3 (ovarian), SK-MEL-2 (skin melanoma), and HCT15 (colon) with $ED_{50}$ values ranging from 3.86-17.21 $\mu$g/mL.

Osteoarthritis is to the abnormality of the inflammatory response of joint tissue caused by various causes such as aging, and muscle loss. In this study, the activity in joint inflammation was verified using SKBE, a plant extract, and the expression levels of arthritis-inducing proteins including MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, and collagen type II in vitro were compared and analyzed. Furthermore, we synthesized α-spinasterol, an active ingredient of SKBE, by the previously reported synthesis method and these findings could provide a new starting point for the development of treatments for osteoarthritis.
