Biosurfactants reduce surface and interfacial tension due to their amphiphilic properties and are an eco-friendly alternative for chemical surfactants. In this study, a new yeast strain JAF-11 that produces a biosurfactant was selected using drop collapse method, and the properties of the extracts were investigated. The nucleotide sequences of the strain were compared with closely related strains and identified based on the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Neodothiora populina CPC 39399^T, the closest species with strain JAF-11, showed a sequence similarity of 97.75% for LSU and 94.27% for ITS, respectively. The result suggests that the strain JAF-11 represents a distinct species that cannot be assigned to any existing genus or species in the family Dothideaceae. Strain JAF-11 produced a biosurfactant reducing the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 34.5 mN/m on the sixth day of culture and the result of measuring the critical micelle concentration (CMC) by extracting the crude biosurfactant was found to be 24 mg/l. The molecular weight 502 of the purified biosurfactant was confirmed by measuring the fast atom bombardment mass spectrum. The chemical structure was analyzed by measuring ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ¹³C NMR, and two-dimensional NMRs of the compound. The molecular formula was C₂₆H₄₆O₉, and it was composed of one octanoyl group and two hexanoyl groups to myo-inositol moiety. The new biosurfactant is the first report of a compound produced by a new yeast strain, JAF-11.

비정질 $SiO_2$와 $Al(OH)_3{\cdot}xH_{2}O$를 출발물질로 하여 $250^{\circ}C$, $30\;kg/cm^2$의 조건에서 반응시간을 2~36시간까지 변화시키면서 캐올리나이트를 수열합성하였다. 합성된 캐올리나이트에 대하여 XRD, IR, TG-DTA, TEM 및 EDS를 사용하여 특성분석을 실시하였으며, 이로부터 합성된 캐올리나이트의 반응 시간별 광물학적 특성변화를 규명하고자 하였다. X선 회절 분석결과, 반응시간 2시간에 비정질 출발물질에서부터 뵈마이트가 결정화되었으며 2시간 이상 반응시키면, 뵈마이트 피크가 소멸되거나 혹은 감소하였다. 캐올리나이트는 반응 10시간 이후 생성되기 시작하였으며 반응시간의 증가에 따라 결정도가 점차 증가하였다. TGA 분석결과, 반응시간 36시간 이후에 약 13 wt%의 총중량손실이 관찰되었으며 DTA 분석결과 $258^{\circ}C$에서 관찰된 뵈마이트에 의한 발열피크는 서서히 감소되어 반응시간 10시간 이후에 관찰되지 않았고 스피넬상으로의 전이를 나타내는 발열피크는 반응시간 5시간 이후에 관찰되기 시작하여 반응시간 증가에 따라 피크강도가 증가되었다. FT-IR 분석 결과, 합성 캐올리나이트의 Al-OH 신축진동 밴드인 $3696\;cm^{-1}$과 $3620\;cm^{-1}$사이에서 $3670\;cm^{-1}$과 $3653\;cm^{-1}$의 두개의 작은 피크 분리 및 $940\;cm^{-1}$과 $915\;cm^{-1}$에서 관찰된 캐올리나이트의 특징적인 흡수띠의 관찰은 비교적 질서도가 우수한 캐올리나이트가 합성된 것을 지시하였다. TEM 분석결과, 반응시간 15시간 후에서야 비로소 (001)면의 성장으로 판상형의 캐올리나이트가 형성되었다. 반응시간 36시간 후 합성 캐올리나이트는 단순 판상형에서 육각외형의 판상형으로 변화됨을 확인되었다.

Low molecular weight polyphenols were isolated from hot water extracts of radiata pine (Pinus radiata) bark using a Sephadex LH-20 column and characterized by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR, UV, FT-IR, and GC-MS analyses. Major compounds isolated and identified were protocatechuic acid, trans-taxifolin, and quercetin. Trans-taxifolin, an important intermediate in biosynthetic route of proanthocyanidin (PA), was isolated in large quantities and indicates that PA is a major component of radiata pine bark. Small amounts of polyphenols were identified by GC-MS analysis. The presence of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, cis- and trans-feruic acid, p-coumaric acid, trans-caffeic acid, (-)-epicatechin, (+)-catechin, trans- and cis-taxifolin, (+)-gallocatechin, and quercetin was confirmed by comparison of mass fragmentation patterns and retention times (RT) with authentic samples. In addition, the presence of astringenin, astringenin glycoside, trans- and cis-leucodelphinidin was strongly assumed from characteristic mass fragment ions due to their conjugated structure and retro Diels-Alder reaction, and also from biosynthetic route of PA. GC-MS analysis allowed us to detect small amounts of phenolic acids and flavonoids and eventually discriminate trans- and cis-configuration in the identified polyphenols.

9,10-Bis(bromomethyl)phenanthrene reacted with fullerenes via a Diels-Alder reaction to give phenanthrene-substituted fullerene mono-adducts (PCMA) and bis-adducts (PCBA) as electron acceptors for organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The syntheses of the fullerene derivatives were confirmed by $^1H$ $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. PCMA and PCBA showed better light absorption in the UV-visible region than $PC_{61}BM$. Their electrochemical properties were measured using cyclic voltammetry. Accordingly, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of PCMA and PCBA were -3.66 and -3.57 eV, respectively. Photovoltaic cells were fabricated with a ITO/PEDOT:PSS/poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT):acceptor/LiF/Al configuration, where P3HT and PCBA are the electron donors and acceptors, respectively. The polymer solar cell fabricated using the P3HT:PCBA active layer showed a maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.71%.

Previously, the methanolic extract of Paeonia moutan seeds was found to potently inhibit soybean lipoxy-genase (SLO). Hence to isolate SLO inhibitor, the defattd methaniolic extract of the seeds was consecutively partitioned wiht ether, ethyl acetate,n-butanol ,adn water. The ether souble fraction showing strong inhibitory activity against SLO was further fractionated into a strongly acidic, a weakly acidic, and a neutral fractions. The strongly acidic components of the ether extract were successively subjected to chromatography on a silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and preparative HPLC. Four phenolic compounds were isolated , and twio of them showing a strong SLO inhibition activity were identified as luteolin (IC50=2.32$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) and 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,3'- dimethoxylflavone (IC50=0.31$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) by UV, IR, 1H-& 13C-NMR, and MS spectroscopy. In addition, two flavonoids showed significantly antioxidative activity as strong as that of of $\alpha$-tocopherol (p<0.05) in the autoxidation system of linoleic acid. These results suggest that luteolin and 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,3'-dimethoxy-flavone may be used as a potential source of anti-inflammatory agents with antioxidative activity.

Three novel potential metal ion chelating units have been synthesized and characterized: 5-hexylcarbamoyl-3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5), 3-benzyloxy-4-hydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid bis-hexylamide (6), and 3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid bis-hexylamide (7). The crystal structure of 6 was obtained and suggests the presence of three distinct intramolecular hydrogen bonds, namely $[N_{amide}-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}O]$ $[O-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}O_{amide}]$ and $[N_{amide}-H{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}S]$. Boron chelation with 5, 6 and 7 through the use of $BF_3, \;B(OH)_3 \;or \;B(OMe)_3$ was probed by $^1H$, $^{11}B$, and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy. Technetium (I) chelation with 5, 6 and 7 was also studied via HPLC elutions using $[^{99m}Tc(CO)_3(OH_2)_3]^+$.

The modulation of glycosidase activity by inhibitors is of great interest. Such compounds have been shown to be important tools in mechanistic studies on glycohydrolase as well as having promising therapeutic application. An ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was isolated from culture filterates of Penicillium sp. The inhibitor was active against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase isolated from yeast and porcine small intestine. However, it showed no inhibition to Aspergillus ${\alpha}$-galactosidase, Escherichia coli ${\beta}$-galactosidase, and jack bean ${\alpha}$-mannosidase. The inhibitor was highly soluble in ether, methanol and chloroform. The inhibitor was purified using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC. The inhibitory compound designated PA-7(IC$\sub$50/=35$\mu\textrm{g}$) was obtained as white powder. The structure of PA-7 was determined with spectroscopic data of EI-MS, FAB-MS, $^1$H, and $\^$13/C NMR. The inhibitor has a diketopiperazine moiety.

Six antioxidative compounds in the aerial parts of Potentilla fragarioides were isolated by a bioassay guided purification using a DPPH free radical. They were identified as (+)-catechin, isoquercitrin, quercitrin, $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$, caffeic acid, and 4-O-caffeoyl-L-threonic acid on the basis of $^{1}H$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ and MS data. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of five compounds $(RC_{50}:\;7.5{\sim}10.5\;{\mu}g)$ except for quercitrin $(16\;{\mu}g)$ was more effective than those of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ $(12\;{\mu}g)$ and BHA $(14\;{\mu}g)$.

To search for useful antioxidants from plant materials, we investigated the antioxidative activity in the methanol extracts of 30 Chinese medicinal plants using DPPH method. The highest activity $(RC_{50}:\;12\;{\mu}g)$ was showed in the methanol extract of Rosa rugosa, followed by Potentilla fruticosa $(14\;{\mu}g)$, P. fragarioides $(16\;{\mu}g)$. And Geum aleppicum $(18\;{\mu}g)$. From the leaves of R. rugosa, two antioxidative compounds were isolated by a bioassay guided purification and identified as isoquercitrin and ${\beta}-glucogallin$ on the basis of $^1H-,\;^{13}C-\;NMR$, and FAB-MS data. ${\beta}-Glucogallin$ is the first report in this plant. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of ${\beta}-glucogallin\;(RC_{50}:\;8.5\;{\mu}g)$ was more effective than those of ${\alpha}-tocopherol\;(12\;{\mu}g)$ and BHA $(14\;{\mu}g)$.
