A new unsaturated hydroxy fatty acid was isolated from the leaves of Cucurbita moschata through repeated silica gel column chromatography and chemical methods. The structure of the new fatty acid was determined as 13-hydroxy-9, 11, 15-octadecatrienoic acid on the basis of several spectral data including 2D-NMR. The stererostructures of double bonds were determined to be 9Z, 11 E and 15E by coupling patterns of related proton signals in the $^1H-NMR$ and NOESY experiments.

Petal of Azalea(Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz) was incubated with Gokja at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for seven days and the essential oil components of petal of Azalea before and after incubated were analyzed using a GC/MSD. Ten or more essential oil components including n-heneicosane n-tricosane n-tetreacosane n-pentacosane n-heptacosane n-nonacosane and n-hentriacontane were identified from the petal of Azal-ea before incubated while oxygen-containng compounds including (E)-heptenal 2-ethoxy-1 -hexanol n-hexadecanoic acid methyl ester 9, 12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid methyl ester, n-octadecanoic acid methyl ester n-eicosanoic acid methyl ester and 9-docosaenoic acid methyl ester as well as n-alkanes such as n-tricosane that n-pentacosane were identified from the petal of Azalea after incubated. These results suggest that n-alkanes in petal of Azalea might be degraded and some oxygen-containing compounds such as aldehyde, esters and /or acids might be produced when pet-al of Azalea is incubated with Gokja.

식용 및 약용으로 이용되는 산초 (Zanthoxylum schinifolium) 잎에 함유된 항암활성 성분을 분리하기 위하여 산초잎을 유기용매로 추출하여, 각 추출물의 암세포에 대한 독성 및 세포자살 유도 활성을 조사하였다. Methanol, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, n-butanol로 추출한 각 추출물의 세포 독성을 인체 급성백혈병 Jurkat T 세포주, estrogen receptor-positive 유방암 세포주 MDA 361과 estrogen receptor-negative 세포주 MDA 438를 대상으로 조사한 결과, 이들 암세포주에 대한 세포독성이 methylene chloride 추출물 (SL-14)에서 주로 확인되었다. Methylene chloride 추출물 (SL-14)의 Jurkat T세포주에 대한 세포독성의 기전은 mitochondria로부터cytochrome c 방출, 이에 뒤이은 caspase-9 및 caspase-3의 활성화, PARP 분해, jnternucleosomal DNAfragmentation등의 일련의 생화학적 과정을 통해 유도되며 또한 Bcl-xL의 ectopic overexpression에 의해서는 negative regulation되는 세포자살임을 확인하였다. 또한 SL-14를 GC-MS 분석하여, 9,19-cyclolanost-24-en-3-ol (15.1%), 2-a-methyl-17, b-hop-21-ene (15.1%), 15-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H benzazepin (11.95%), phytol (10.38%), lupeol (9.92%), 12-methylbenzofuran (8.23%) 등을 포함한 22가지의 구성성분과 그 조성비를 확인하였다. 이상의 연구결과들은 식용 산초잎에 함유된 항암 활성으로서의 세포자살유도 활성의 규명과 이해에 유익하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
