한국산 재배인삼과 장뇌산삼 그리고 중국산 장뇌산삼에 포함되어 있는 총 페놀성 성분 함량에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 개별적인 페놀성 성분들의 함량에서는 몇 가지 특정적인 경향을 나타내었다. Cinnamic acid와 p-hydroxybenzoic acid는 재배인삼보다 장뇌산삼에서 각각 3~4배, 2~3배 더 높은 함량을 나타내었다. Esculetin은 한국산 재배인삼과 장뇌산삼에서 중국산 장뇌산삼보다 더 높은 함량 수준을 나타내었는데, KM-1의 경우 $47.2\mu\textrm{g}/g$으로 가장 높았다. Ferulic acid와 caffeic acid의 경우 KM-2에서 가장 높은 수준을 나타내었는데, 인삼의 적변현상에 관련된 성분으로 사료된다. Ester 상태의 총 페놀성 성분 함량은 장뇌산삼에서 재배인삼보다 3~4배 더 높았다. Panax ginseng에 포함되어 있는 페놀성 성분들은 완전한 성장연령이 지난 후에는 총 함량에 있어서 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았지만, 개별적인 페놀성 성분 함량과 존재 형태에 있어서는 서식지별 또는 재배방법 등에 따라 구분되는 함량차이를 나타내었다.

Boehmeria pannosa (Urticaceae) is a perennial herb widely distributed in Korea. In this study, investigation on the constituents of B. pannosa was conducted by chromatographic techniques and spectroscopic analysis. As a result, nine compounds including eight phenolic compounds, 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-1-one (1), β-hydroxypropiovanillone (2), C-veratroylglycol (3), 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-propan-1-one (4) 2,3-dihydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl) -1-propanone (5), p-coumaric acid (6), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (7), vanillic acid (8) and one lignan, (-)-(7R,8S)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (9) were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of B. pannosa. Among them, compounds 5, 6 and 9 inhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity more than 50% at the concentration of 100 μM.

In the course of screening for antioxidant compounds by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), a total extract from the whole plant of Veronica peregrina (Scrophulariaceae) was found to show potent antioxidant activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract led to the isolation of six phenolic compounds including chrysoeriol (1), diosmetin (2), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (3), apigenin (4), caffeic acid methylester (5) and protocatechuic acid (6). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1-5 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Compounds 5 and 6 showed significant antioxidative effects in DPPH free radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activity assays.

Bromoxynil은 쌍떡잎 특이적 제초제로써 폭 넓게 이용되고 있으며 반감기가 매우 짧다. Bromoxynil을 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid로 분해하는 nitrilase를 암호화한 bxn 유전자를 식물 벡터인 pGA482에 도입하고 Agrobacterium과의 동시배양을 통해 담배와 상추에 형질전환하였다. Kanamycin을 이용해 형질전환 식물체를 선별하고 완전한 식물체로 분화시켰다. Northern hybridization을 통해 bxn 유전자의 발현정도를 검정하고 liaf-disc와 pot assay를 통해 형질전환 식물체가 고농도의 bromoxynil에 저항성을 보임을 확인하였다.

In the course of searching for hepatoprotective agents from natural products, four compounds were isolated from the MeOH extract of Sanguisorbae Radix, as guided by their DPPH free radical scavenging activity. The structures were determined as 4,5-dimethoxy-3-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester (1), (+)-gallocatechin (2), methyl $6-O-galloyl-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (3), and pomolic acid $3-O-[{\alpha}-L-arabinopyranoside]-28-O-[{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl]$ ester (ziyu-glycoside I) (4). Compounds 2 and 3 showed significant DPPH free radical scavenging effects, exhibiting $IC_{50}$ values of 11.4 and $13.0\;{\mu}M$, respectively. L-Ascorbic acid was used as a positive control and exhibited the $IC_{50}$ value of $50.3\;{\mu}M$. In evaluation of the hepatoprotective activity of the isolated compounds on drug-induced cytotoxicity, compound 2 showed the significant hepatoprotective effect with the $EC_{50}$ value of $91.84\;{\pm}\;11.0\;{\mu}M$ on tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep G2 cells, while silybin, a positive control, exhibited $EC_{50}$ value of $122.4\;{\pm}\;12.5\;{\mu}M$.

Based on the Benzoflex (Vesicol Chemical Co.) as PVC plasticizer substituents for Di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP), a series of new aromatic carboxylic acid ester compounds were designed as plasticizers, synthesized, and screened for the endocrine disrupting activity. 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid (1) and 2-methoxybenzoic acid (2) as the commercially available starting materials were reacted with diethylene glycol (3) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid using Dean-Stark column to give diethylene glycol di-(2-hydroxy)benzoate (4, KH01) and diethylene glycol di-(2-methoxy)benzoate (5, KH02), respectively. And diethylene glycol di-(3-pyridinyl) ester (7, KH03) and dipropylene glycol di-(3-pyridinyl) ester (9, KH04) were obtained in high yields by treatment of nicotinoyl chloride (6) with diethylene glycol (3) and dipropylene glycol (8) in the presence of triethylamine as a base. To determine the estrogenic disrupting effect of new synthetic phthalate analogues, E-screen assay method was used. Of these compounds, 4 (KH01) was found to be compound without endocrine disrupting effect.

A phytochemical investigation of Spergularia marina (L.) Griseb. growing in Egypt, has been carried out, which resulted in the isolation of seven compounds from the different extracts of the plant namely; ${\beta}$-sitosterol glucoside, tricin (1) dihydroferulic acid (2), vanillic acid (3), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4), uracil (5) and 8-hydroxy cuminoic acid (6) Structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was carried out using different spectroscopic techniques. This is the first report for the isolation of these compounds from genus Spergularia. Furthermore, 8-Hydroxy cuminoic acid and uracil were isolated for the first time from family Caryophyllaceae. The chemical composition of the volatile components present in the petroleum ether extract of Spergularia marina (L.) Griseb. using combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is reported here for the first time. Of the 97 components present, 59 were identified including three sulfur containing compounds which represented about 1.8% of the volatiles of the total petroleum ether extract. This prompted us to study and report its possible antimicrobial activity. In addition, the antibacterial and antifungal screening of different extracts of Spergularia marina (L.) Griseb. as well as some isolates have been performed using agar diffusion method.

The effect of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and its major metabolite, 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (BHT-acid) on the uptake of taurocholate into hepatocytes was studied using the primary culture of rat hepatocytes. Hepatocyte were isolated by an in situ collagenase perfusion technique and maintained as a monolayer in serum-free meadia for 24 hours before use. The uptake of taurocholate was saturable with an apparent Km of 12.8+2.8 MuM and Vmax of 0.18+0.01 nmol/mg/min. Both BHT and BHT-acid inhibited the hepatocellular uptake of taurocholate when they were added to the culture.
