Studies were made to investigate effects of the scale-up of stirred tank bioreactors on cell growth and alkaloids production for suspension cultures of Eschscholtzia californica. In the 1.5 L STR, cell lysis was observed at 110 rpm or higher agitation speed. The agitation speed of 30 L STR was 43.7 rpm to maintain the same shear stress developed in 1.5 L STR of 100 rpm. As a result of scale-up from 1.5 L to 30 L STR, the specific growth rate was decreased from 0.12 to 0.07 day-1. The alkaloids productivity was also decreased from 0.24 to 0.14 mg/L-day. Changes of mixing performance and oxygen transfer were studied to explain the decrease of cell growth and alkaloids production. Decreased oxygen transfer rate coefficient(KLa) and increased mixing time by the scale-up was observed at various aeration rates.

The Phellodendri Cortex of Phellodendron amurense (Rutaceae) is known to contain a number of isoquinoline alkaloid, and berberine, palmatine, jateorrhizine, phellodendrine and magnoflorine are the major constituents of protoberberine alkaloids. For the determination of protoberberine alkaloids from Phellodendri Cortex and berberine chloride from the preparation, the new spectrophotometric method was developed with a simple and selective sample clean-up using thiocyanatocobaltate[II] complex ion. Samples were extracted with 0.1 mM hydrochloric acid, potassium biphthalate reagent, thiocyanatocobaltate reagent and 1.2-dichloroethane for 60 min. The absorbance of protoberberine alkaloid complexes in 1.2-dichloroethane solution was measured at 625 nm. Calibration curve for berberine was linear over the concentration range of 0.05~0.30 mg/ml 1.2-dichloroethane. The method proved to be rapid, simple and reliable for the determination of protoberberine alkaloids from Phellodendri Cortex and berberine chloride from the preparation.

The effects of sedative peptide alkaloids from Zizyphus species on calmodulin- dependent protein kinase II were investigated. Protein kinase II activity was assayed on the basis of its ability to activate tryptophan 5-monooxygenase as its substrate in the presence of calmodulin. All thirteen alkaloids tested were stronger inhibitors than chlorpromazine ($IC_50,\;98{\mu}M$) on calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II. Among them, the most potent inhibitor was daechuine S27 ($IC_{50},\;2.95{\mu}M$), which was stronger than pimozide ($IC_{50},\;15.0{\mu}M$).

Six bioactive alkaloids, aristolactam B(1), poperolactam A(2), aristolactam A(3), norcepharadione B(4), cepharadione B(5) and splendidine(6) were isolated by bioactivity-guided fractionalton of a methanolic extract of the aerial part of Houttuynia cordata. Several of them exhibited significant cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines (A-549,SK-OV-3,SK-MEL-2, XF-498 and HCT-15) in vitro.

The study aimed to investigate the profile of alkaloids in two ethyl acetate soluble fractions, namely fractions A and B from an ethanolic extract of Ficus septica leaves and cytotoxic effect on T47D breast cancer cells. Preparation of both fractions involved maceration of leaves with 70% (v/v) ethanol, filtration with $Al_2O_3$, precipitation with 0.1 N HCl, Mayer reagent, and 0.1 N NaOH, and also partition with ethyl acetate. Qualitative thin layer chromatography (TLC) was conducted to determine the profile of alkaloids in the two fractions, using alkaloid specific reagents such as Dragendorff, sodium nitrite, and Van Urk-Salkowski. Cytotoxic effects of both fractions on T47D cells were evaluated using MTT assay with a concentration series of 1.56; 3.12; 6.25; 12.5; 25 and $50{\mu}g/mL$. The TLC test showed that fractions A and B contained alkaloids with Rx values of 0.74 and 0.80 for fraction A and 0.74, 0.84, 0.92 for fraction B with regard to yohimbine using the mobile phase of n-buthanol:glacial acetic acid:distilled water (3:1:1 v/v/v). Moreover, an indole alkaloid was detected with Rx values of 0.80 and 0.84, respectively. Fractions A and B exhibited high cytotoxic effects on T47D cells with IC50 values of 2.57 and $2.73{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. In conclusion, overall the results of this study showed that fractions of Ficus septica contain alkaloids including indole alkaloid or its derivatives and possess a cytotoxic effect on T47D cells. This research supports the idea that alkaloids in F. septica have anticancer activity.

미치광이풀의 모상근 뱌양에 의해 의학적으로 중요한 물질인 scopolamine과 hyoscyamine 생산을 증진시키기 위해 3종의 곰팡이와 1종의 효모 유래의 생물학적 elicitor를 supernatant와 homogenate의 형태로 처리하였다. Elicitor 중 Candida albicans는 supernatant와 homogenate 모두 scopolamine 생산성을 증가시켰다. Fusarium solani의 homogenate와 C. albicans의 supernatant 처리로 hyoscyamine 함량이 증가되었다. 그러나 나머지 fungus strain도 대조구에 비해 tropane alkaloids의 생산을 다소 증가시켰다. 본 연구에서는 C. albicans가 tropane alkaloids 생산에 적합한 elicitor임으로 구명되었다. 본 연구 결과는 미치광이풀 모상근 대량배양에 의한 tropane alklaoids 대량생산에 기여할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 재배되고 있는 컴프리의 형태학적 특성 및 pyrrolizidine alkaloids을 분석하기 위해서 수행되었다. 국내에서 채취한 12개 지역의 컴프리를 대상으로 형태학적 인 연구를 실시한 결과 모두 한 종류의 Symphytum officinale임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이들 시료를 hot methanol과 ultra-sonification으로 추출하여 pyrrolizidine alka loids 함유 여부를 확인하기 위하여 TLC 시험을 실시한 결과, 12개 시료의 컴프리는 o-chloranil과 Ehrlich's reagent의 발색시약이 pyrrolizidine alkaloids와 반응하여 특이적인 purple spot을 나타내었다. 그러나 치커리, 호박잎 및 깻잎을 사용하여 동일한 시험을 실시한 결과 purple spot이 관찰되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. HPLC 패턴을 분석 결과, 12개 시료의 컴프리는 retention time 30 부근에 특이적인 peak를 나타내었으나, 치커리, 호박잎 및 깻잎은 peak를나타내지 않았다. 따라서 국내 재배중인 컴프리 12종은 형태학적 특성 및 pyrrolizidine alkaloids로 조사한 결과, S. officinale 종임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The weak UV absorbing ephedrine alkaloids such as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, methylephedrine and norephedrine could be analyzed by charge-transfer spectrophotometric method. The results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) It was possible to determine a weak UV absorbing ephedrine alkaloids using the intense charge-transfer UV bands in chloroform. (2) This method was suitable for the spectrophotometric determination of ephedrine alkaloids in mixed pharmaceutical preparation. (3) Linear relationship was found between absorbance and concentration in the range of 1.0$\times$$10^{-5}M$~5$\times$$10^{-5}M$ of ephedrine ($\varepsilon$= 2.72$\times$$10^{4}LM^{-1}cm^{-1}$ and pseudoephedrine ($\varepsilon$=2.84$\times$$10^{4]LM^{-1}cm^{-1}$), 1.0$\times$$10^{-5}M$~5$\times$$10^{-5}$M of methylephdrine ($\varepsilon$=1.68$\times$$10^{4}LM^{-1}cm^{-1}$) and 1/3$\times$$10^{-4}M$~4/3$\times$$10^{-4}M$ of norephedrine ($\varepsilon$=0.74$\times$$10^{4}LM^{-1}cm^{-1}$. (4) CT- complex of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and methylephedrine has absorption maxima at 293nm and norephedrine have absorption maximum at 253nm. (5) CT-complexes were formed in a 1:1 ratio between ephedrine alkaloids and iodine in chloroform. (6) By UV, IR, and $^1H$-NMR spectra, it could be inferred that CT-complexes were formed by interaction between the basic nitrogen of ephedrine alkaloids as electron (n) donor and iodine as electron ($\sigma$) acceptor.

In our ongoing search for new secondary metabolites from fungi, a basidiomycete fungus Irpex consors was selected for mycochemical investigation, and three new zwitterionic alkaloids (1-3) and five known compounds (4-8) were isolated from the culture broth (16 l) of I. consors. The culture filtrate was fractionated by a series of column chromatography including Diaion HP-20, silica gel, and Sephadex LH-20, Sep-Pak C₁₈ cartridge, medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC), and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to yield eight compounds (1-8). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by the interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS). Their antioxidant and antibacterial activities were examined. The zwitterionic structures of three new sesquiterpene alkaloids (1-3) were determined together with five known compounds identified as stereumamide E (4), stereumamide G (5), stereumamide H (6), stereumamide D (7), and sterostrein H (8). This is the first report of the zwitterionic alkaloids in the culture broth of I. consors. Three new zwitterionic alkaloids were named as consoramides A-C (1-3).
