  • The adsorption of quinine, atropine and methylrozaniline chloride from aqueous phase by different kaolins was studied to innovated utilization of Korean kaolins as pharmaceutical agents. The adsorption isotherms were determined at $27{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and the results were plotted according to the Langmuir equation. The Langmuir constants were calculated from adsorption isotherms of quinine and methylrozaniline chloride; a=1.46, 1.34 b=5.7, 9.3 and slope=0.175, 0.108, respectively. The kaolins gave the same type of curves with the two alkaloids and methylrozaniline chloride. The white colored premium grade kaolins were better adsorbent for the alkaloids and methylrozaniline chloride than the lower grade ones. The results indicate that the premium grade kaolins could be utilized as an ingredients in intestinal preparations. The condition of activation for the better adsorption was under the cases with the higher temperature and the lower pressure. The smaller particle size, the greater was adsorption power and the activated kaolins had superior adsorptive properties at higher pH value than at higher hydrogen-concentrations.

  • Ingestion of plant material rarely manifest in clinical intoxication. This is due to the relatively low toxicity of most plants in Korea. But, veratrum is an important plant on account of its highly toxic alkaloids. Five cases of Veratrum grandiflonum mass poisoning are described. Clinical symptoms occurred quickly, within 30 min. Vomiting, a fall in blood pressure and bradycardia was observed. Treatments in the emergency department included gastric lavage, activated charcoal, and administration of atropine and dopamine for bradycardia and hypotension. Although one of them experienced profound hypotension, bradycardia and mental change, the outcomes were favorable in all cases, producing a complete cure without any sequellae at discharge.

  • Chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract from the stems and rhizomes of Sinomemium acutum led to the isolation of nine alkaloids and a lignan. Their structures were determined to be dauriporphine (1), bianfugecine (2), dauriporphinoline (3), menisporphine (4), (-)-syringaresinol (5), N-feruloyltyramine (6), acutumine (7), dauricumine (8), sinomenine (9), and magnoflorine (10) by spectroscopic means. These compounds were examined for their P-gp mediated MDR reversal activity in human cancer cells. Compound 1 showed the most potent P-gp MDR inhibition activity with an $ED_{50}$ value $0.03\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $0.00010\;{\mu}g/mL$ in the MESSA/DX5 and HCT15 cells, respectively.

  • Enantioselective synthesis of 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids (1) via asymmetric reduction of 1-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (2) and the corresponding iminium salts (3) with the selected chiral hydride reagents, such as K glucoride (5), Itsuno's reagent (6), and Mosher's reagent (7) were examined. In these reactions, dihydroisoquinolines were not reduced by the hydride reagents, whereas the iminium salts were easily reduced under the same reaction conditions found in successful reduction of ketones. Thus, the reduction of 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolium iodide(3a) with 5, 6 and 7 provided the product 1a with 52.3 % ee, 18 % ee, and 66.4 % ee, respectively. For 1-benzyl derivatives (3b-3d), syntheses of 1b-1d with 0.7-6.2 % ee, 5.9-21 % ee, and 1.4-2.7 % ee were achieved with chiral reducing agents 5, 6 and 7, respectively. For 1-aryl derivatives, use of 5, 6 and 7 resulted in optical inductions in the range of 25.2-43 % ee, 13-21.1 % ee, and 6.3-16 % ee, respectively.

  • Aconitum jaluense Komar. (Ranunculaceae) is one of the Aconitum plants growing in Korean peninsula. An investigation of the alkaloidal constituents of this species led to the isolation of seven $C_{19}$-norditerpenoid and a $C_{20}$-diterpenoid alkaloid. Three of them have been identified as neoline, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine, which were isolated from this plant collected from Mt. Bultasan in the north part. The other five alkaloids were determined as lipomesaconitine, lipohypaconitine, 15$\alpha$-hydroxyneoline, hokbusine A, and napelline, which have not been found in this plant. Structures of those alkaloids were determined on the basis of their spectral data. It is of interest to note that a comparison of the present work and the previous report showed some differences in the alkaloidal contents.

  • A new acridone alkaloid, melixyloidin (1), and two known alkaloids (2-3) were isolated from Melicope xanthoxyloides (F. Muell) T.G. Hartley leaves. The structure of melixyloidin were elucidated using NMR spectra and high-resolution ESIMS data. Acridone alkaloids 1-3 were evaluated against MCF-7 and HeLa cells. 1,3,4-Trimethoxy-10-methylacridin-9-one (2) showed potent cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells with an IC50 value of 5.31 μM.

  • As part of our program to isolate bioactive compounds from korean natural sources, we have screened traditional medicinal plants to cytotoxity on human tumor cells. Of them, the MeOH extract from rhizome of Coptis japonica Makino was found to be active against five cultured human tumor cell lines. So, the MeOH extract was subjected to successive solvent partitioning to give n-hexane, chloroform and BuOH. The activity was concentrated into the chloroform extract. The extract was chromatographied on a silica gel column and resulted in the isolation 5 alkaloids. (omitted)
