Prunus mume was extracted using various solvents including ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The extracts were fractionated by column chromatography. Antimicrobial compounds (A, B and C) in fractions showing antimicrobial activity were purified by Sephadex LH 20 column chromatography, and identified by $^{1}H$- and $^{13}C$-NMR analysis as isoeugenol, nomilin and $\beta$-sitosterol, respectively.

The EtOAc extracts from needles of Pinus densiflora showed antimicrobial activities against bacteria, yeast and fungi. The antimicrobial principle was successively purified by solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption column chromatography and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The active substance was further purified by HPLC using $C_{18}$ column. The active substance was identified as trans-cinnamic acid by MS, $^{1}H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$. The amount of cinnamic acid was $9.27\;{\mu}g$ Per gram of fresh needle of Pinus densiflora.

We isolated Actinomycetes strain GMT 1155 and purified the active compound, MT 1155, on the morphological reversion of ts/NRK cell from the isolate. MT 1155 was identified as toyocamycin having antifungal and antitumor activities from physico-chemical properties and UV, IR, $^1H$-NMR, $^13C$-NMR and mass spectrum. MT 1155 showed the morphologically reversional activity on ts/NRK cell and the cytotoxicity on CTLL cell at the final concentrations of 1.7 JlM and 0.2 11M, respectively and its $IC_{50}$ value on protein kinase A enzyme was 2.3 $\mu$M. Also it had strong antifungal activity against several pathogenic fungi but not antibacterial activity. And it did not inhibit both protein kinase C activity and the bleb-formation of K562 cell induced by phorbol esters.

Antimicrobial effect of Dansham (Saliuia miltiorrhiza Bunge) was investigated. Methanol extract of dried Dansham was fractionated to hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol and aqueous fraction. Chloroform fraction showed the highest inhibitory effect on the microorganisms such as B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, L. monocytogenes and V. parahaemolyticus at 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/disc. Chloroform fraction was further fractionated by silica gel column and thin layer chromatography (TLC). The antimicrobial compound was isolated from their fractions and its chemical structure was identified as a cryptotanshinone by GC-MS and $^1$H-NMR, $^{13}$ C-NMR.

Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond has been an emerging versatile tool for quantum sensing applications. Amongst various applications, nano-scale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using a single or ensemble NV centers has demonstrated promising results, opening possibility of a single molecule NMR for its chemical structural studies or multi-nuclear spin spectroscopy for quantum information science. However, there is a key challenge, which limited the spectral resolution of NMR detection using NV centers; the interrogation duration for NV-NMR detection technique has been limited by the NV sensor spin lifetime (T₁ ~ 3ms), which is orders of magnitude shorter than the coherence times of nuclear spins in bulk liquid samples (T₂ ~ 1s) or intrinsic ¹³C nuclear spins in diamond. Recent studies have shown that quantum memory technique or synchronized readout detection technique can further narrow down the spectral linewidth of NMR signal. In this short review paper, we overview basic concepts of nanoscale NMR using NV centers, and introduce further developments in high spectral resolution NV NMR studies.

Penicillium fellutanum produces a phosphorylated, choline-containing extracellular peptido-polysaccharide, peptidophosphogalactomannan (pPxGM) (8). The $\^$13/C-methyl labeled pPxGM ([methyl-$\^$13/C]pPxGM) was prepared from the cultures supplemented with L-[methyl-$\^$13/C]methionine or [2-$\^$13/C]glycine and was used as a probe to monitor the fate of phosphocholine in this polymer. Addition of purified [methyl-$\^$l3/C]pPxGM to growing cultures in low phosphate medium resulted in the disappearance of [methyl-$\^$13/C]phosphocholine and -N,N'-dimethyl-phosphoethanolamine from the added [methyl-$\^$13/C]pPxGM. Two $\^$l3/C-methyl-enriched cytoplasmic solutes, choline-O-sulfate and glycine betaine, were found in mycelial extracts, suggesting that phosphocholine-containing extracellular pPxGM of P.fellutanum is a precursor of intracellular choline-O-sulfate and glycine betaine and thus of phosphatydilcholine (l0). $\^$13/C-Methyl-labeled cells grown in 3 M NaCl-containing medium showed 2.6- and 22-fold more accumulation of $\^$13/C-methyl labeled choline-O-sulfate and glycine betaine, respectively, originated from the extracellular [$\^$13/C-methyl]pPxGM than those grown without added NaCl. The results suggest that, in addition to glycerol and erythritol, glycine betaine and choline-O-sulfate and thus choline are also osmoprotectants and hence that pPxGM is involved in osmotolerance of this fungus (11). Taken collectively, the $\^$l3/C- and $\^$31/P-NMR analyses of cytosolic solute pools and structural modulation of extracellular pPxGM corresponding to environmental stimuli in P. fellutanum, provided evidence that pPxGM is involved in cellular choline metabolism, osmotolerance, and recycling of metabolites.

Humic and fulvic acids present in soils of different depth were extracted and their acidic functional groups and structural characteristics were analyzed and compared. The purpose of this study was to present a basic data needed to evaluate the effect of humic substances on depth distribution and migrational behaviour of radioactive elements deposited on soil. Acidic functional groups of the humic and fulvic acids were analyzed by pH titration method, and their proton exchange capacity (PEC, $mq\;g^{-1}$) and average $pK_a$ values were obtained. Structural characteristics of the humic and fulvic acids were analyzed using their CPMAS $^{13}C$ NMR spectra and elemental composition data. pH titration data showed that fulvic acids have higher acidic functional group contents ranging from 5.5 to $7.0meq\;g^{-1}$ compared with that of humic acids ($3.8{\sim}4.8meq\;g^{-1}$). From depth profiles, it has been found that PEC values of humic acids in deeper soil (> 8 cm) were higher than those at the surface soils. Elemental compositions (H/C ratio) and spectral features ($C_{arom}/C_{aliph}$ ratio) obtained from CPMAS $^{13}C$ NMR spectra showed that the aromatic character in humic acids was a relatively higher than that of fulvic acids, while lower in carboxyl carbon content. The aromatic character and carboxyl carbon contents of humic acids tend to increase as soil depth increased, but those of fulvic acid showed little differences by the soil depth range.

The crude extracts from Rhus javanica Linne showed comparatively strong antioxidative activity in test oils. Antioxidative components were isolated and identified by column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, UV, and NMR. These antioxidative components were added to several oils to compare antioxidative activity with several commercial antioxidants, such as BHA, BHT, and tocopherol. After the sixth column chromatography, one fraction (R-18-9-3-2-4-2) was separated from chloroform layer of Rhus javanica Linne. The R-18-9-3-2-4-2 fraction was identified as methyl gallate by $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ and confirmed with methyl gallate standard as authentic. The R18-9-3-2-4-2 fraction from chloroform layer of Rhus javanica Linne showed stronger activity than that of the ${\alpha}-,\;{\delta}-tocopherol$, BHT, and BHA at the same concentration.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of the dried roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza led to the isolation of abietane tanshinones, cryptotanshinone and dibydrotanshinone I. Their structures were elucidated using $^1H-\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$, UV, IR and mass spectral analyses. These compounds exhibited a moderate antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus epidemidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus pyogene.

Four polymethoxyfavones were isolated from the leaves of Citrus deliciosa, three of which (nobiletin, 5-O-demethylnobiletin, and tangeritin) are bioactive. The fourth (7,4'-dihydroxy-5,6,8,3'-tetramethoxyflavone) is reported for the first time in the genus Citrus and is a potential chemotaxonomic marker. The structures of these flavones were confirmed by analysing their spectral data and comparison with similar compounds. The previously reported $^{13}C$ NMR assignment of 5-O-demethylnobiletin has been revised on the basis of 2D NMR experiments (HETCOR, COSY, and COLOC). The chemotaxonomic value of the present finding is verified.
