The reaction of titanium tetraisopropoxide with 2 equiv of N,N-diethyl acetoacetamide affords Ti($O^iPr)_2(CH_3COCHCONEt_2)_2$ (1) as colorless crystals in 80% yield. Compound 1 is characterized by spectroscopic (Mass and $^1H/^{13}C$ NMR) and microanalytical data. Molecular structure of 1 has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study, which reveals that it is a monomeric, cis-diisopropoxide and contains a six coordinate Ti(IV) atom with a cis($CONEt_2$), trans($COCH_3$) configuration (1a) in a distorted octahedral environment. Variable-temperature $^1H$ NMR spectra of 1 indicate that it exists as an equilibrium mixture of cis, trans (1a) and cis, cis (1b) isomers in a 0.57 : 0.43 ratio at -20$^{\circ}C$ in toluene-$d_8$ solution. Thermal properties of 1 as a MOCVD precursor for titanium dioxide films have been evaluated by thermal gravimetric analysis and vapor pressure measurement. Thin films of pure anatase titanium dioxide (after annealing above 500$^{\circ}C$ under oxygen) have been grown on Si(100) with precursor 1 in the substrate temperature range of 350- 500$^{\circ}$ using a bubbler-based MOCVD method.

New thiazoline derivatives 7a-c, and thiophenes 9a-c linked to indole moiety were easily prepared via the reaction of the acrylamide derivative 3 with phenacyl bromides 4a-c, depending on the reaction conditions. In addition, the reaction of compound 3 with hydrazonoyl chlorides 11a-f afforded a series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 13a-f. Moreover, coupling of 3-(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile (2) with the diazonium salts of 3-phenyl-5-aminopyrazole 16 or 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole 17 gave the corresponding hydrazones 18 and 19, respectively. Cyclization of the latter hydrazones yielded the corresponding pyrazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine and 1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine derivatives 20 and 21, respectively. The structures of the synthesized compounds were assigned on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, $^1H$ NMR and mass spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro activities against certain strains of fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus nodulans, Alternaria alternate. Compounds showed marked inhibition of fungal growth nearly equal to the standards.

A new streptothricin family antibiotic producing Streptomyces spp. SNUS 8810-111 was isolated from a soil sample. Study of its morphological and physiological characters indicated that the antibiotic producing organism was a Streptomyces spp. Taxonomical studies suggested that the organism might belong to the genus streptomyces gougeroti. The organism produced antibiotics most in calcium carbonate-tryptic soy broth. The active principles were recovered from the broth with a cation exchange resin and eluted from the resin with HCI. Cellulose column chromatography gave two active principles.$^1H-^1H$ Homo-COSY study on the first compound revealed four structural components. Total hydrolysis of the antibiotic with HCI allowed isolation of $\beta-lysine$. From these data the antibiotic was found to be streptothricin D. The other compound showed one additional signal in the .$^1H$NMR and the $^{13}C$ NMR spectra. The signal was from a methyl group attached to a nitrogen atom. Comparison of the NMR signals with those of streptothricin D suggested that the compound was N-methyl-streptothricin D which was a new compound in the family of streptothricin antibiotics.

In the course of our screening for biocontrol agent (BCA) against Streptomyces scabiei and S. turgidiscabies causing potato scab using 5,000 actinomtcete isolates, 9 antagonistic strains were selected as BCA candidates through in vitro and in vivo assay. An antagonistic strain, A020645 was highly resistant to some pesticides and antibiotics such as dazomet and mancozeb and showed high control value in vivo. Two bioactive compounds (compound A, B) were purified by anion exchange chromatography, solid phase (ODS) extraction, TLC and reverse phase HPLC. Their chemical structures are now thought to be nucleoside derivative as determined by $^1H-NMR$ data analysis. Their full chemical structures would be elucidated through $^{13}C-NMR$, HMQC and HMBC analyses. Further studies will be focused on fitness in soil and formulation of the BCA candidates.

As a part of an infrastructure project on medicinal herb-based remedies, we conducted a phytohemical investigation of the 100% MeOH extract from the aerial part of Boehmeria quelpaertense; our findings resulted in the isolation of flavonoids (1-2), isoquercitrin (1) and hyperoside (2). The identification and structural elucidation of these compounds were based on $^1H$-, $^{13}C-NMR$, and LC ESI IT-TOF MS data. All the compounds isolated from this plant were reported for the first time. In this study, we examined the antioxidant activity of the 1 and 2 on the hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced oxidative stress in a Rat Cardiomyoblast cell line (H9c2). The pretreatment of the flavonoids showed that it protects against $H_2O_2$-mediated cell death in the H9c2 cell line. Also, it decreases the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by the flavonoids in the $H_2O_2$-treated H9c2 cell line. These results showed that the 1 and 2 are a source of antioxidants. As a result, they might be helpful in preventing the progress of various oxidative stress mediated diseases, including myocardial infarction.

Two 2H-1-benzopyran derivatives, methyl 8-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-5-carboxylate (1) and methyl 8-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carboxylate (2), including a new compound (1) were isolated from the twigs of Chaenomeles sinensis. Their chemical structures were characterized based on analysis of NMR data including ¹H and ¹³C, COSY, HSQC, and HMBC and HRMS data. The isolated compounds (1 and 2) were assessed for their anti-neuroinflammatory activity by measuring inhibition levels of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 cells and for their neurotrophic activity by the secretion of nerve growth factor (NGF) in C6 cells. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited powerful anti-neuroinflammatory effects with IC₅₀ values of 17.14 and 19.30 μM, respectively, without cell toxicity, and also showed moderate effects on the stimulation of NGF secretion levels with 113.15 ± 3.54 and 130.20 ± 8.03%, respectively. The biosynthetic pathway of 1 and 2 was proposed that they would be derived from a protocatechuic acid and an isoprenyl unit.

Objective: Polygonum multiflorum Thunberg (Polygonaceae) has been traditionally used as a tonic and the purgative in China and Korea. The genus Polygonum is a source of a wide range of phenolic compound, flavanoids, anthraquinones, stilbenes and tannins. In this study, three anthraquinones were isolated and quantitative determination of anthraquinones from P multiflorum has been developed for quality standardization. Methods : Three anthraquinone derivatives were isolated from a methanol extract of the radix of P. multiflorum by the chromatographic separation. Their structures were identified as emodin, physcion and ${\omega}$-hydroxyemodin on the basis of spectral data (MS, lH-NMR, 13C-NMR) and chemical analysis. HPLC analysis was performed to determine the contents of emodin, physcion, chrysophanol, rhein and ${\omega}$-hydroxyemodin in P. multiflorum from different specimens were collected from twenty Korean markets. Results: According to the results, the contents of emodin, physcion, chrysophanol, rhein and ${\omega}$-hydroxyemodin were 0.145%, 0.434%, 0.016%, 0.026%, 0.030% by HPLC, respectively. Conclusions : In these results, we have determined the contents of emodin, physcion, chrysophanol, rhein and ${\omega}$-hydroxyemodin in P. multiflorum, respectively. We hope that this study will contribute to the standardization and quality control of herbal medicine.
