The ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extracts from needles of Pinus densiflora were showed antimicrobial activities against bacteria, yeast and fungi. The antimicrobial active substance of EtOAc extracts were successively purified with solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption column chromatography and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The purified active substance was isolated as crystals and identified as benzoic acid by $MS,\;^{1}H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$. The amount of benzoic acid was 0.608 mg per gram of fresh needle of Pinus densiflora.

Yongia sonchifolia Max. has been used as raw materials of traditional Kimchi and medicinal herb in Korea. This study was performed to investigate biologically active components in the plant. First, the writer carried out the experiment of antitumor screening test against Sarcoma-180A and the cytotoxic activity against Chinese hamster V-79 cells with methanol extract of the plant. And the aqueous solution of the extract from roots of Youngia sonchifolia Max. was partitioned into n-hexane. The concentrated extract of n-hexane layer was chromatographed on silica gel column and developed with n-hexane and ethylacetate. Two yellow elutes, on concentration, were recrystallized from ethylacetate, and the $R_f$ value of TLC of the crystal was 0.43. After analysis by $^{1}H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$ and MS to confirm the structure, the author could identify the compound as bauerenyl acetate, a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene. The crystal was colorless plate and m.p. was $280{\sim}282^{\circ}C$.

The methanol extracts of Aralia elata bark showed antimicrobial activities against bacteria, yeast, fungi. The solvent fractionated acidic fraction that showed the activity was then successively purified with silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, silica gel partition column chromatography, HPLC and TLC. The isolated major active substance was identified as 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid by MS, GC-MS, IR, $^{1}H-NMR\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$. The content of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid was 0.869㎎/g in dried bark of Aralia elata.

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.

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 root of Astragalus membranaceus is a traditional folk medicine that has been used for many therapeutic purposes in Asia. It reportedly acts as an immunostimulant, tonic, hepatoprotective, diuretic, antidiabetic, analgesic, expectorant, sedative, and anticancer drug. In this study, metabolomic profiling was applied to the roots of A. membranaceus of different ages using NMR coupled with two multivariate statistical analysis methods: such as principal components analysis (PCA) and canonical discriminant analysis (CDA). This allowed various metabolites to be assigned in NMR spectra, including $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA), aspartic acid, succinic acid, glutamic acid, glutamine, N-acetyl aspartic acid, acetic acid, arginine, alanine, threonine, lactic acid, and valine. The score plot from PCA and also CDA allowed a clear separation between samples according to age.

The goal of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial properties, enzyme production, and metabolic profiling of a new Ceratorhiza hydrophila strain isolated from the submerged aquatic plant Myriophyllum spicatum. Furthermore, the fungus' morphological characterization and DNA sequencing have been described. The fungus has been identified and submitted to the GenBank as Ceratorhiza hydrophila isolate EG19 and the fungus ID is MK387081. The enzyme analyses showed its ability to produce protease and cellulase enzymes. According to the CSLI standard, the ethyl acetate extract of C. hydrophila showed intermediate antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pneumonia, Micrococcus luteus, and Staphylococcus aureus. Metabolic profiling has been carried out using 700 MHz NMR spectroscopy. Based on the ¹H and ¹H-¹³C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR data and NMR databases, 23 compounds have been identified. The identified metabolites include 31% amino acids, 9% sugars, 9% amines, 4% sugar alcohols, and 4% alkaloids. This is the first report for the metabolic characterization of C. hydrophila, which gave preliminary information about the fungus. It is expected that our findings not only will pave the way to other perspectives in enormous applications using C. hydrophila as a new promising source of antimicrobial agents and essential metabolites, but also it will be valuable in the classification and chemotaxonomy of the species.

Biosynthesis tracing of the silk fibroin in Bombyx mori silkworm was examined in vivo with isotopic [1-13C] Gly. labeling by nuclear magnetic resonance method. The [1-13C] Gly. labeled silk fibroin yielded very sharp 13C NMR signal in the posterior silk gland as well as in aqueous solution and the amound of [1-13C] Gly. labeled signal in the silkworm increased gradually and rapidly to 5-th day of fifth instar. However, the decomposition or decrease of the [1-13C] Gly. labeled signal occured from 5-th to 9-th day of fifth instar unexpectedly. These findings suggest that a relative amount of ${\alpha}$-helical portion or amorphous silk II portion was formed without any further signal from 6-th day of fifth instar to pupation. Through peak separation of orientation spectrum, between the fiber axis and the molecular bond direction, N-H bond in Bombyx mori silk fiber as well as the orientation distribution around the silk fibroin axis were determined and two kinds of peaks were also obtained from this orientation spectrum.

The free radical bulk copolymerizations of perfluoroalkylethyl acrylate(FA) containing perfluoro group ($CF_3(CF_2)_nCH_2CH_2$-; n=5, 7, 9, 11) with styrene were conducted at $60^{\circ}C$ using AIBN as an initiator. Reactivity ratios($r_1$, $r_2$) were determined from monomer feed compositions and the NMR spectroscopically measured copolymer compositions using Kelen-Tudos method. The structures of copolymers were characterized with FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ analysis. Their thermal properties investigated with DSC and TGA were decreased with increasing the content of fluorinated acrylate in the copolymer. Their surface free energies were calculated with measuring contact angles of the copolymers and PMMA blends with a small amount of them.
