The Abies koreana Wilson has been unique species of Korea and has not been clearly investigated about lignans of extractives. This studies have been carried out from the isolation and determination of lignans from alcoholic extractives in its xylem. Six lignans were isolated and their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. They were two new compounds, (+)-koreslactol and (-)koreanol and four known compounds, lariciresinol p-coumarate, (+)-todolactol C, (-)-${\alpha}$-intermedianol, and (+)-pinoresinol.

Lignans and neolignans are optically active plant secondary metabolites. Research on biosynthesis of lignans has already been advanced especially for the formation of (+) pinoresinol but information on the biosynthesis of 8-O-4'- neolignans is still limited. Moreover, the chemical structure(position of substituents on aromatic rings) and stereochemistry of 8-O-4' neolignans is not clear. Katayama and Kado discovered that incubation of cell-free extracts from E. ulmoides with coniferyl alcohol in the presence of hydrogen peroxide gave (+)-erythro- and (-)-threo- guaiacylglycerol 8-O-4'-(coniferyl alcohol) ether (GGCE)(diastereomeric ratio, 3:2) which is the first report on enzymatic formation of optically active -8-O-4' neolignans from an achiral monolignol. In this aspect, enzymatic formation of guaiacyl 8-O-4' neolignan is noteworthy to clarify its stereochemistry from incubation of coniferyl alcohol with enzyme prepared from Eucommia ulmoides. In this experiment, soluble and insoluble enzymes prepared from E. ulmoides were incubated with 30 mM coniferyl alcohol(CA) for 60 min. The enzyme catalyzed GGCE, dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol(DHCA), and pinoresinol identified by reversed phase HPLC. Consequently, diastereomeric compositions of GGCE were determined as erythro and threo isomer. Enantiomeric composition was determined by the chiral column HPLC. Both enzyme preparations enantioselectively formed (-)-erythro, (+)-erythro and (+)-threo, (-)-threo-GGCEs respectively.

Twelve compounds with lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity were isolated from the stem bark of E. globulus. Their structures were assigned as a new aromatic monoterpene (1) and eleven known compounds, pinoresinol (2), vomifoliol (3), 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenol 1-O-$\beta$-D-(6'-O-galloyl)glucopyranoside (4), methyl gallate (5), rhamnazin (6), rhamnetin (7), eriodictyol (8), quercetin (9), taxifolin (10), engelitin (11), and catechin (12) on the basis of UV, mass, and NMR spectroscopic analyses. These compounds except vomifoliol significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsome.

A new lignan named as hibiscuside, (+) pinoresinol 4-O-[-glucopyranosyl (12) -rhamnoside] (1), and a known lignan, syringaresinol (2) were isolated from the root bark of Hibiscus syriacus together with two feruloyltyramines (3,4) and three known isoflavonoids (5,6,7). The structures of these compounds have been established on the basis of their NMR, Mass, UV spectra. Among these phenolic compounds,6-O-acetyl daidzin (5), 6-O- acetyl genistin (6), and 3-hydroxy daidzein (7) with IC50 values of 8.2, 10.6, and 4.1 M, respectively, significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes Hibiscuside (1), E and Z-N-feruloyl tyramines (3,4) exhibited moderate antioxidant activity.

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of a methanolic extract of Buddleja officinalis led to the isolation of two monoterpenes, crocusatin M (1), crocusatin C (2), a flavonoid, acacetin (3), three lignans, lariciresinol (4), pinoresinol (5), and syringaresinol (6), and two triterpenoidal saponins, mimengoside B (7) and songarosaponin A (8). The structures of isolates were identified based on 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS data analysis. All isolates were tested for their inhibition on LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. As a result, mimengoside B (7) and songarosaponin A (8) showed a mild inhibitory activity of NO production.

Objectives Eucommiae cortex is one of the frequently used herbs for musculoskeletal disorders, with well-known anti-inflammatory effect. Meanwhile, powdered form of herbal drugs is more advantageous than decoction form, in that storing and taking is more convenient. Thus, the authors aimed to investigate whether the drying method affects the index compound level and anti-inflammatory effect of eucommiae cortex water extract. Methods Eucommiae cortex was extracted in distilled water at $100^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, filtered, and then evaporated under vacuum. One half of the sample was freeze-dried at $-80^{\circ}C$. Another half of the sample was added with dextrin and then spray-dried at $180^{\circ}C$. To assess the possible change in index compound content, pinoresinol diglucoside was selected as the index marker. The content level of the index compound in various extract sample was quantified through high performance liquid chromatography. In addition, iNOS assay in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells was adopted to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of various extract samples. Furthermore, MTT assay was performed to confirm that the result of iNOS assay was not due to cytotoxicity. Results There was no significance difference in index compound content between extract samples obtained through two different drying methods. Anti-inflammatory activity of extract samples were similar at the matching concentration, regardless of the drying methods. Extract samples did not show any significant cytotoxicity. Conclusions Extract samples of eucommiae cortex were obtained through freeze-drying and spray-drying. Neither change in index compound content nor difference in anti-inflammatory activity was observed between drying methods.

대식세포에서 염증반응이 진행되면, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) 등의 cytokine들이 발현되어 inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), prostaglandin E2(PGE2) 등의 염증유발인자가 생성된다. 오가피, 우슬, 두충 각각의 추출물이 어느 정도의 항 염증 효능을 보이며 어떤 pro-inflammatory cytokine의 발현을 억제하는지에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 오가피, 우슬, 두충은 물 추출하고 동결 건조시켰다. 각각의 추출물의 구성 성분들이 잘 추출되었는지 확인하기 위하여 지표물질인 acanthoside D, 20-hydroxyecdysone, pinoresinol diglucoside를 HPLC로 분석하였다. 항 염증 효능을 확인하기 위하여 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 RAW 264.7 세포주를 자극하여 염증 반응을 일으킨 상태에서 각각의 추출물을 농도 별로 처리하고 NO assay를 통해 항 염증 효능을 확인하였으며 real time PCR로 pro-inflammatory cytokine들의 발현량을 측정하였다. 결과적으로 각각의 추출물은 지표성분들이 검출되었으며 오가피와 우슬이 두충보다 NO assay에서 높은 활성을 보였다. Cytokine 발현량 측정에서는 오가피와 우슬은 iNOS와 IL-6의 발현을 억제하였고, 우슬은 TNF-${\alpha}$의 발현을 억제하였다. 우리나라는 전통적으로 약재를 조합하여 처방하여 왔다. 본 연구는 관절염에 전통적으로 사용해 오던 약재들이 어떤 기전에 의하여 항 염증 반응을 보이는지 확인하고 이들을 조합하여 사용하였을 때 어떤 근거에 의하여 시너지 효능을 보이는지 확인하였다.
