An enzyme derived conformational changes of cobalamine is thought to be important in the homolytic cleavage of Co-C bond which is the first step of catalytic Cl-cycle of coenzyme B12-dependent enzymes. Modern 2D-NMR and NMR-based distance geometric studies were carried out to determine the 3D structure of corrin ring. Homonuclear and heteronuclear correlation NMR experiments were performed for complete 1H-NMR signal assignments. Distances between numerous proton pairs were deduced based on the NOE cross peak intensities and subsequently used as input into the distance geometry program for the 3D structure determination. The detailed 3D structure from the present NMR-based analysis was compared with the result from X-ray crystallographic study, which revealed greater conformational changes occur in benzimidazole group and sugar ring than in macrocyclic corrin and tetrapyrrole. In addition, the distance geometry used in this study was found to be quite useful for NMR-based structure determination of medium-sized molecules that give poor NOE effects arising from their intermediate tumbling rate ($\omega$$\tau$c 1.0).

The solubilization sites of some phenyl alkanols such as phenol, benzyl alcohol, phenethyl alcohol, 3-phenyl-1-propanol solubilized in 0.2 M aqueous sodium dodecylsulfate micelle solution was studied by two dimensional heteronuclear correlation spectroscopy (2D C-H COSY). The results show more quantitative and clear solubilization sites in the SDS micelle than previous results using $^1H$-NMR spectrum integration. We found that most of the phenyl alkanols penetrate into the core of SDS micelle, and the insertion depth was 6.5∼7.0 methylene units from ${\alpha}$-methylene.

Soyasaponins are phytochemicals of major interest fur their health benefits. Chemical investigation of a soybean phytochemical concentrate resulted in the isolation and identification of triterpenoid saponins. The MeOH extraction of defatted hypocotyl separated from soybeans was peformed by the automated solvent extractor (ASE). Fractionation was performed on a flash column ($150mm{\times}40mm$ i.d.) packed with a preparative $C_{18}$ reverse phase bulk packing material $(125\AA,\;55-105{\mu}m)$ and monitored at 210 nm, and collected 14 fractions. Consequent Fsat preparative column liquid chromatography (Fast PCLC) was performed for the purification of Fraction-I (Fr-I) collected from the fraction 8 and 9 of flash chromatography. Fsat PCLC was performed on a Luna $C_{18}\;10{\mu}m,\;100{\AA}$, semipreparative reverse phase column ($250cm{\times}50mm$ i.d.) for the purification of isolated unknown compound (Fr-I-2). Chemical structure of acetyl soyasaponin $A_1\;(MW:1436.6,\;C_{67}H_{104}O_{33})$ was identified and determined by a combination of extensive NMR ($^1H-NMR$, 400 MHz; $^{13}C-NMR$, 100 MHz; DEPT), IR, UV, and ESI-MS analysis.

The fresh ginseng roots were extracted in aqueous methanol (MeOH), and the obtained extracts were partitioned using ethyl acetate (EtOA), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water, successively. The repeated silica gel column chromatography for n-BuOH fraction afforded a purified ginsenoside $Rg_1$. The physico-chemical, spectroscopic and chromatographic data of ginsenoside $Rg_1$, such as crystallization characteristics, melting point, specific rotation, infrared spectrometry (IR) data, fast atom bombardment/mass spectrometry (FAB/MS) data, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data, retention factor (Rf) in thin layer chromatography (TLC) experiment, and retention time (r.t.) in HPLC analysis, were measured and compared with those reported in literatures. Especially, the previous literatures reported different data for ginsenoside $Rg_1$ in the $^{1}H-$ and $^{13}C$-NMR experiments. This paper gives the exactly assigned NMR data through 2D-NMR experiments, such as $^{1}H-^{1}H$ correlation spectroscopy (COSY), hetero nuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC), and hetero nuclear multiple bond connectivity (HMBC).

Membrane disruption by an antimicrobial peptide, protegrin-1 (PG-1), was investigated by measuring the $^2H$ solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectra of 1-palmitoyl-$d_{31}$-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (POPC_$d_{31}$) in the mixture of PG-1 and POPC_$d_{31}$ lipids deposited on thin cover-glass plates. The experimental line shapes of anisotropic $^2H$ SSNMR spectra measured at various peptide-to-lipid (P/L) ratios were simulated reasonably by assuming the mosaic spread of bilayers containing pore structures or the coexistence of the mosaic spread of bilayers and a fast-tumbling isotropic phase. Within a few days of incubation in the hydration chamber, the pores were formed by the peptide in the POPC_$d_{31}$ and POPC_$d_{31}$/cholesterol membranes. However, the formation of the pores was not clear in the POPC_$d_{31}$/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG) membrane. Over a hundred days after hydration, a rapidly rotating isotropic phase increased in the POPC_$d_{31}$ and the POPC_$d_{31}$/cholesterol membranes with the higher P/L ratios, but no isotropic phase appeared in the POPC_$d_{31}$/POPG membrane. Cholesterol added in the POPC bilayer acted as a stabilizer of the pore structure and suppressed the formation of a fast-tumbling isotropic phase.

During the screening of inhibitors of caspase-3 induction in U937 human monocytic leukemia cells from natural sources, Forsythiae fructus, which showed a high level of inhibition, was selected. And then, the compound was purified from the methanol extract using silica gel column chromatography and HPLC. The inhibitor was identified as rengyolone, by spectroscophic methods of ESI-MS, $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, DEPT, and HMBC. Rengyolone showed inhibitory activity of caspase-3 induction, a major protease of apoptosis cascade, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $6.25\;{\mu}g/mL$ after 7 h of treatment in U937 cells. It also showed inhibitory activity of caspace-1 induction, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $7.50\;{\mu}g/mL$ after 40 h of treatment in D10S cells. In addition, it showed protective effect against cell death with an $IC_{50}$ value of $11\;{\mu}g/mL$ on U937 cells induced by etoposide after 24 h of treatment, but did not show any cytotoxicity at the same condition without etoposide, a caspase 3 inducing agent.

Complexation of cesium ion by p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene ethyl ester was studied by NMR spectroscopy in nonpolar $CDCl_3$ and polar acetone-$d_6$ and the results were compared with each other. Analysis of temperature dependent $^1H$ spectra and titration curves reveals that both solvents result in a 1 : 1 cone-form complex with nonpolar $CDCl_3$yielding a more tightly bound one than acetone-$d_6$. Unexpectedly, at very low temperature, we have found that two phenyl ring proton peaks of equal intensity appear both in $CDCl_3$and in acetone-$d_6$ solution which gradually collapse and eventually coalesce into a single line as temperature is raised. This observation could be interpreted in terms of the chemical exchange through direct and/or indirect interconversion between two equivalent conformations possible the complex in both solvents over the temperature range observed. And broadening of $^{133}Cs$ (I = 7/2) nmr line with increasing temperature has also been observed, indicating the exchange of $^{133}Cs$ ion between the complex and the solvent. From numerical fitting of lineshape changes for one-dimensional $^1H$ and $^{133}Cs$ spectra, the exchange rate constants and other relevant parameters for this conformational interconversion and the complex-solvent exchange were deduced.

This study was carried out to investigate the valuable antioxidative compound from extracts of Alnus hirsuta Turcz. which has a nationwide distribution. The bark (2 kg) was extracted with 70% aqueous acetone and fractionated, and the ethyl acetate and $H_2O$ fractions, separately, were chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column to purify the mixture and to give two diarylheptanoid compounds. The isolated compounds were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy, including $^1H$, $^{13}C$ and two-dimensional NMR, and identified as oregonin (1) and 1,7-bis-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-heptane-5-O-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranoside (2). The antioxidative activity was evaluated by DPPH method using two diarylheptanoids and acid-hydrolyzed oregonin derivative which indicated higher activity potential. Of those the acid-hydrolyzed oregonin derivative showed highly active potential with the value of 2.6 of $IC_{50}$.
