The purposes of this study were to analyze the antioxidative effects and antimicrobial activity of Omija. Total phenol contents of Omija extracted with ethanol and water were $53.4{\pm}2.2tannic\;acid\;equivalent/mg$, and $47.9{\pm}2.1tannic\;acid\; equivalent/mg$, respectively. Total flavonoid contents of Omija extracted with ethanol and water were $16.3{\pm}1.1naringin\;equivalent/mg$, and $13.1{\pm}1.4naringin\;equivalent/mg$, respectively. Electron donating ability of ethanol extract ($1,000{\mu}g/mL$) of Omija was $5.1{\pm}0.4%$. This result was lower than the antioxidant vitamin (ascorbic acid: $96.4{\pm}0.6%$) and artificial antioxidant BHT ($70.0{\pm}0.5%$). Nitrite-scavenging abilities of Omija were lower than ascorbic acid and BHT. SOD-like activities of Omija extracts, natural antioxidant, and artificial antioxidant at 5 mg/mL were in the other of ascorbic acid ($99.0{\pm}0.5%$) > BHT ($72.6{\pm}0.5%$) > ethanol extract ($16.3{\pm}0.4%$) > water extract ($14.4{\pm}0.3%$). The order of OH radical scavenging activities of Omija extracts and natural antioxidant at 5 mg/mL was ascorbic acid ($98.9{\pm}0.6%$) > tocopherol ($85.4{\pm}0.6%$) > water extract ($59.1{\pm}0.5%$) > ethanol extract ($33.1{\pm}0.3%$). The results show that the antimicrobial effects of Omija could not be detected at both concentrations and extraction methods.

A series of S-(2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-phenylethyl)-L-glutathione derivatives (11a-e) were synthesized from the reaction of ${\beta},\;{\beta}$-diethoxycarbonylstyrene with L-glutathione in 9 : 1 aqueous methanol. Thus, S-(2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-phenylethyl)-L-glutathione (11a), S-2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(3',4'-methylenedioxy)phenylethyl-L-glutathione (11b), S-2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(3',4',5'-trimethoxy)phenylethyl-L-glutathione (11c), S-2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(4'-hydroxy)phenylethyl-L-glutathione (11d), S-2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(4'-methoxy)phenylethyl-L-glutathione (11e) were obtained in good yields. The structure of the adducts was characterized by analytical and spectral data. The effects of pH and solvents upon the yields were also briefly examined. In the range of pH from 4.0 to 8.0, the aqueous methanol were found to be the best solvent for the addition reaction and the antibacterial activities of the adducts to Gram(+) bacteria were found to be weak.

The CJ6 bacterial strain, which possesses strong antifungal activity, was isolated from meju and identified as Bacillus polyfermenticus based on Gram staining, biochemical properties, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. B. polyfermenticus CJ6 showed antimicrobial activity against the various pathogenic molds, yeasts, and bacteria. Antifungal activity from B. polyfermenticus CJ6 was reduced after 24 hr at $70^{\circ}C$ but antifungal activity was not completely destroyed. The antifungal activity was stable in the pH range of $3.0{\sim}9.0$, and inactivated by proteinase K, protease, and ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, which indicate its proteinaceous nature. The apparent molecular masses of the partially purified antifungal compound, as indicated by using the direct detection method in Tricine-SDS-PAGE, was approximately 1.4 kDa.

Paeoniae radix has been considered as one of the most important crude drugs used in traditional oriental medicine and has been employed as a circulatory tonic in care of weakness, night sweats, and lumbar pain, etc. Platelet activation plays an important role in thrombosis and haemostasis. Active compounds for the inhibition of platelet activation from Paeoniae radix were extracted and fractionated into five fractions. Its fraction two and three of ethyl acetate extract inhibited the aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by collagen. Two active compounds, bezoyloxypaeoniflorin and paeoniflorin, were isolated from fraction two and three by silica gel column and high performance liquid chromatography. The chemical structures were determined by comparison of their proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Benzoyloxypaeoniflorin showed strong inhibition at the concentration of 100 ug/mL against collagen-induced washed rabbit platelets aggregation. It is suggested that Paeoniae radix has become food material to prevent a cardiovascular disease.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/chitosan blend films with non-toxicity, biodegradability, and biocom-patibility were prepared by solution casting. Variation of the physicochemical properties of the blend films was investigated through to several analysis methods. Examination of antibacterial properties revealed that bacterio-static ratios of all blend samples containing chitosan more than 10 wt％ were greater than 99.9％. Moisture regain was increased with increasing chitosan content but the degree of swelling was decreased. Up to chitosan content 15 wt％t, the melting and crystallization temperature of blend films was increased with chitosan content. The blends containing chitosan content 10 and 15 wt％ gave melting temperature 229 and 228$^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, the melting temperature was decreased if chitosan content exceeded 20 wt％. The mechanical properties of the blend films were increased with increasing chitosan content in both dry and wet states. The blend film including 15 wt％ chitosan exhibited unusually high tensile strength.

The methanol soluble fraction of the hot water extracts from Hovenia dulcis Thunb showed antioxidative and antimicrobial activity. The methanol fraction was successively purified with solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and octadecylsilane column chromatography. The purified active substances were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography. The isolated substances were identified as 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (vanillic acid) and 3-methoxy- 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (ferulic acid) by LC-MS and GC-MS. Vanillic acid and ferulic acid showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and yeast. The DPPH-radical scavenging activity of ferulic acid appeared more active than that of vanillic acid. DPPH-radical scavenging concentration of ferulic acid and vanillic acid were $14\;{\mu}g/mL\;(SC_{50})$, $100\;{\mu}g/mL\;(SC_{10})$, respectively.
