The MeOH extract of Sorbus commixta (Rosaceae) exhibited strong DPPH radical scavenging activity, and through activity-guided fractionation two antioxidant compounds were isolated and identified as $catechin-7-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (1) and $catechin-7-O-\;{\beta}-D-apiofuranoside$ (2) by physicochemical and spectrometric methods. To evaluate the antioxidant effect of these compounds, some in vitro tests, such as the DPPH radical scavenging activity test, the superoxide radical scavenging activity test and the lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity test, were performed. Compounds 1 and 2 showed stronger activities than both a-tocopherol and butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA) in each assay.

식물에서부터 새로운 소염작용제를 개발하기 위하여 여러식물을 대상으로 염증반응의 초기단계에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려진 Phospholipase $A_2$에 저해활성을 갖는 물질을 검색하였고 그 중 강한 억제활성을 보인 유근피에서 유효성분을 분리하였다. 유근피의 에칠 아세테이트 분획에 대하여 실리카겔 크로마토그래피, Sephadex LH-20 크로마토그래피, 분취 박막 크로마토그래피를 수행하여 phenol성 -OH기를 갖는 활성성분인 PSH-II-84-1를 분리하였다. $^1$H-NMR 신호의 양상과 짝지움 상수 값에서 분리된 물질은 (+)-catechin 의 당 유도체로 확인되었다. $^{13}$C-NMR 자료를 분석하여 치환된 당은 D-apiofuranose로 확인되었다. 방향족환의 $^{l3}$C-NMR 신호들은 extended Huekel theory를 응용하여 얻은 net charge 계산 값과 상관시켜 할당하였다. 이상의 구조연구 결과 이 물질은 (+)-catechin-7-0-$\beta$-D-apiofuranoside로 밝혀졌다. (+)-catechin-7-0-$\beta$-D-apiofuranoside의 효소억제활성은 Type II Phospholipase $A_2$에 대하여 $IC_{50}$/이 600$\mu$M이었다.다.

Alnus japonica (Betulaceae) has been traditionally used for purifying blood, and curing feces containing blood, enteritis, diarrhea, alcoholism and cut wounds. In the current work, activity guided isolation of the butanol fraction of the Alnus japonica bark led to the isolation of catechin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-apiofuranoside. Anti-inflammatory activity was determined with carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice as an acute inflammation, complete Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritis as a chronic inflammation. Carrageenan- induced paw edema in mice was significantly inhibited at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 hr after carrageenan injection by administration of the flavonoid glycoside at the dose of 150mg/kg. (omitted)

LS-RUG-com preparation in a complex extract from mixture of three natural plants. Rubus crataegifolius/unriped, Gardenia jasminoides and Ulmus marcrocarpa that have been widely used in traditional functional health food. This study was conducted to establish the HPLC analysis methods that can be used to establish quantitative analysis of R. crataegifolius, G. jasminoides and U. macrocarpa for standardization of LS-RUG-com preparations. HPLC analysis methods for simultaneous determination of ellagic acid and geniposide and single determination of catechin-7-O-β-D-apiofuranoside were established for the quality control of natural plants complex (LS-RUG-com). Validation of HPLC analysis were performed by checking specificity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection and quantitation, and linearity following ICH (International Council for Harmonisation) guideline. As the result of quantitative analysis, the contents of ellagic acid, geniposide and catechin-7-O-β-D-apiofuranoside in each plant extracts were 11.2 mg/g (ellagic acid) and 72 mg/g (geniposide) and 10.2 mg/g (catechin-7-O-β-D-apiofuranoside). The contents of ellagic acid, geniposide and catechin-7-O-β-D-apiofuranoside in LS-RUG-com were 4.62~6.82 mg/g (ellagic acid), 19.2~28.8 mg/g (geniposide) and 1.36~2.04 mg/g (catechin-7-O-β-D-apiofuranoside) respectively.

Ulmus genus has excellent various physiological activities, including anti-ulcer, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-cancer, immunity, and homeostasis maintenance effects, and it is known to have many additional drug effects And one of reasons for these excellentbiological activities is a flavan-3-ol chemical group in Ulmus genus. In this study a new flavan-3-ol compound was identified in Ulmus davidiana var. japonica. A flavan-3-ol,(2R,3S)-7-[(2S,3R,4R)-3,4-dihydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]oxy-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromene-3,5-diol, named as catechin 7-O-beta-D apiofuranoside, was isolated from the stems and barks of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica for. suberosa, which is a species belonging to the genus Ulmus, growing throughout the Korea peninsula. The structure was elucidated by various spectroscopic methods including high-resolution TOF mass spectrometry, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectrometry and comparison with chemical structures of defined compounds.

Ulmus davidiana var. japonica is a deciduous tree used in traditional medicine. In this study, we examined the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of extracts and compounds isolated from U. davidiana var. japonica stem barks for development of cosmetic phyto-materials. Phytochemical examination of the stem bark led to the isolation and characterization of three known compounds, (+)-catechin (1), (+)-catechin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-apiofuranoside (2), and procyanidin B3 ((+)-catechin-($4{\alpha}{\to}8$)-(+)-catechin) (3). Their bioactivities including antioxidant (DPPH ree radical scavenging assay) activity, anti-inflammatory (nitric oxide nhibition assay) were evaluated. Most of the crude extracts and isolates indicated significant antioxidant potential compared with BHT and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol as controls. Futhermore, all compounds showed higher inhibitory activities for NO production in Raw 264.7 cells than the L-NMMA using the positive control. Eespecially, (+)-catechin (1) and (+)-catechin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-apiofuranoside (2) which could inhibit more than 90% of the NO production at a concentration of 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$, implying excellent anti-inflammatory activity.
