For the investigation of resources in Codonopsis species, the studies were carried out to evaluate the pharmaco-constituents from the leaves of Codonopsis lanceolata (Campanulaceae) whose roots have been used to antitussive, expectorant, detoxicate, tonic, edible, etc. as a folk medicine in Korea. From the EtOAc and BuOH fractions of MeOH extract, three flavonoid compounds, $luteolin-7-O-{\beta}-_D-glucopyranoside$$(C_{21}H_{20}O_{1i},\;mp\;254{\sim}255^{\circ}$, compound 1), $luteolin-5-O-{\beta}-_D-glucopyranoside$$(C_{21}H_{20}O_{1i},\;mp\;279{\sim}281^{\circ}$, compound 2) and luteolin $(C_{15}H_{10}O_6,\;mp\;327{\sim}330^{\circ}$, compound 3) were isolated and identified on the basis of their physicochemical properties and spectroscopic evidences(UV, IR, $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, MS etc.) in comparison with authentics respectively.

The chromatographic separation of a methanol extract of Prunus mume (Rosaceae) led to the isolation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (1), 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (2), prunasin (3), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (4), benzyl-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (5), and liquiritigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (6). Their structures were determined by 1D, 2D-NMR and MS data analysis as well as by comparison of their data with the published values.

Five known anthraquinones, physcion (1), I-O-methylemodin (2), emodin (3), $physcion-8-O-{\beta},-D-glucopyranoside$ (5), $emodin-8-O-{\beta},-D-glucopyranoside$ (6) and two known stilbenes, trans-resveratrol (4), $trans-resveratrol-3-O-{\beta},-D-glucopyranoside$ (7) were isolated from MeOH extract of Reynoutria sachalinensis (Polygonaceae). All structures were unambiguously established by 1D and 2D NMR and MS data and the compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against L1210, HL-60, BI6F10 tumor cell lines in MTT assay. Among the compounds, trans-resveratrol (4) exhibited significant cytotoxic activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 9.2, 6.7 and $9.8\;{\mu}g/ml$, against the test cell lines respectively, but compounds 1-3 exhibited the moderate cytotoxic activity.

In the course of phytochemical studies of Rumex acetosella L. (Polygonaceae), the MeOH extract of the whole plants was fractionated with $CH_2Cl_2$ and $H_2O$, and the $CH_2Cl_2$ layer was fractionated again with 90% MeOH and hexane. Whereas $H_2O$ layer was fractionated with EtOAc and then with n-BuOH again. By repeated column chromatography, compound 1 was isolated from the 90% MeOH fraction, compounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were from the ethylacetate fraction, and compound 5 was from the n--BuOH fraction. On the basis of physico-chemical, spectroscopic evidences and in comparison with authentic samples, the structures of them were confirmed to emodin, citreorosein, $chrysophanol-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, luteolin and $luteolin-7-O {\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$.

Three new dammarane glycosides were isolated from the processed ginseng (SG; Sun Ginseng). Their structure were determined to be $3{\beta},{\;}12{\beta}-dihydroxydammar-20(21),24-diene-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl(1{\;}{\rightarrow}{\;}2)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside;{\;}3{\beta},{\;}12{\beta}-dihydroxydammar-20(21),24-diene-3-O-{\beta}-D-{\;}glucopyranoside{\;}and{\;}3{\beta},6{\alpha},12{\beta}-trihydroxydammar-20(21),24-diene-6-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ based on spectroscopic evidences. The compounds were named as ginsenoside $Rk_1,{\;}Rk_2,{\;}and{\;}Rk_3$ respectively.

The present study was carried out in order to assess the protective effects of calycosin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, isolated from Astragali radix (AR), on hyaluronidase (HAase) and the recombinant human interleukin-$1\beta$ (IL-$1\beta$)-induced matrix degradation in human articular cartilage and chondrocytes. We isolated the active component from the n-butanol soluble fraction of AR (ARBu) as the HAase inhibitor and structurally identified as calycosin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside by LC-MS, IR, ${1}^H$ NMR, and ${13}^C$ NMR analyses. The $IC_{50}$ of this component on HAase was found to be 3.7 mg/ml by in vitro agarose plate assay. The protective effect of ARBu on the matrix gene expression of immortalized chondrocyte cell line C28/I2 treated with HAase was investigated using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and its effect on HAase and IL-$1\beta$-induced matrix degradation in human articular cartilage was determined by a staining method and calculating the amount of degraded glycosaminoglycan (GAG) from the cultured media. Pretreatment with calycosin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside effectively protected human chondrocytes and articular cartilage from matrix degradation. Therefore, calycosin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside from AR appears to be a potential natural ant-inflammatory or antii-osteoarthritis agent and can be effectively used to protect from proteoglycan (PG) degradation.

Two flavonoids were isolated from the aerial parts of Salicornia herbacea L. by column chromatography. The structures of the flavonoid compound 1 and 2 were identified as quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ and isorhamnetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, respectively. The antioxidant activity of compound 1 was similar to those of quercetin and rutin, and the activity of compound 2, which contained methoxyl group at flavonoid B-ring, was lower than that of compound 1. The two compounds 1 and 2 were the first to be reported in this plant.

Another known compound, (-)-epicatechin, was isolated from the aqueous fraction of the MeOH extract. The total MeOH extract also contained phytosterol and a mixture of .betha.-amyrin acetate, .alpha.-amyrin acetate and lupeol acetate.
