The major color component of a Korean pigmented rice (Oeyza sativa var. Suwon 415) was purified with Amberlite XAD-7 column and preparative paper chromatography. The purified pigment was determined as anthocyanin by paper chromatography, UV/Vis and NMR spectroscopy. The $\lambda_{max}$ of the Purified anthocyanin on UV/Vis spectrum were 529 nm and 281 nm. The $A_{440}/A_{529}$ value of the purified anthocyanin was 23% suggesting the presence of 3-glycosidic structure. The aglycone from acid hydrolysis showed bathochromic shift (18 nm) in the presence of $AlCl_3$ indicating that the anthocyanidin contained free adjacent hydroxyl groups such as cyanidin, delphinidin, petunidin or luteolinidin. The sugar moiety obtained from acid hydrolysis was determined as glucose by paper chromatography. The NMR spectra showed that the aglycone was cyanidin and the sugar was ${\beta}-D-glucopyranose$. Thus, the chemical structure of the purified anthocyanin was identified as cyanidin $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$.

Total ginsenosides were purified and their antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer activities were measured. The crude extracts of ginseng, which were extracted with 75% ethanol by ultrasonification method, were firstly purified on AB-8 macroporous adsorption column to remove water soluble impurities, and decolored on Amberlite IRA 900 Cl anion-exchange column. Then, they were purified on Amberlite XAD16 adsorption column to delete the non-polar impurities. Total ginsenosides contents of the purified extracts were 79.4%, 71.7% and 72.5% in cultured wild ginseng, red ginseng and white ginseng, which were significantly increased than those of crude extracts. All of the three extracts showed concentration-dependant scavenging activities against DPPH radicals, among which white ginseng showed the most powerful activity. Cultured wild ginseng roots showed strongest effect against both B. subtilis PM 125(Gram-positive) and E. coli D31 (Gram-negative) bacteria, while red ginseng and white ginseng only showed the activity against B. subtilis. According to the result of the MTT assay, ail of the three extracts inhibited the growth of U-937 human hohistiocytic lympma cell, which were significantly different (p < 0.05) when compared to the control.

A marine microorganism producing biosurfactant was isolated from the oil polluted coast of Chung-Mu in Korea, and was identified as Pseudomonas sp.. It produced the biosurfactanl and its optimum culture conditions for pH and salt concentration were 8.0 and 3.0%, respectively. The productivity of biosurfactant from this strain was affected by the nitrogen source used. For the oil resolvability of the biosurfactant, the residual oil in the culture broth with 2% Kuwait crude oil at each time of 48, 96, and 132hr was investigated by gas chromatography. As result of this experiment, it was verified that the biosurfactant acted on C10-C14, of Kuwait crude oil and so the oil was decomposed. The biosurfactant isolated from the supernatant was purified by adsorption to Amberliter XAD-7 and followed by gel chromatography (Sephadex G-100) and HPLC. The purified biosurfactant showed a high value of emulsifying activity at $40^{\circ}C$ and the emulsifying stability was maintained at the temperature range of $30^{\circ}C$∼$60^{\circ}C$. The purified biosurfactant reduced the interfacial tension of Kuwait crude oil remarkably and showed improved dispersing ability compared to those of commercial surfactants such as Tween 80, Tween 60 and SDS.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate anti-tumor activity and detect what compounds affect its activity form $Alpinia$ $officinarum$ Hance. Two fractions, methanol and ethylacetate, were isolated by Amberlite XAD-2 resin column chromatography from methanol extract of the rhizomes of $Alpinia$ $officinarum$. In hollow fiber assay, the methanol extract and methanol fraction were found to inhibit the tumor growth against colon tumor cell lines such as Colo-320, HCT116 and WiDr. Three diarylheptanoids [5-hydroxy-1,7-diphenyl-3-heptanone, 5-hydroxy-7-(4"-hydroxy-3"-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone and 3,5-dihydroxy-1,7-diphenylheptane] and two flavonoids [galangin and kaempheride] were isolated and identified from the methanol fraction, which is higher activity than ethylacetate fraction. Among these diarylheptanoids and flavonoids, 3,5-dihydroxy-1,7-diphenylheptane, galangin and kaempheride as active components on anti-tumor activity were mainly posited in methanol fraction.

In order to search for anti-Herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1) agents, we screened 80 specimens of Korean traditional medicine by SRB assay. The methanol extracts of Thujae orientalis Semen (Cupressaceae) showed strong anti-HSV activity among samples tested. From the butanol fraction of Thujae orientalis Semen anti-HSV-1 agent was isolated by chromatographic separation using Amberlite XAD-4 and Sephadex LH-20. The structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods, and was identified as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (compound I). Compound I exhibited anti-HSV-1 activity with $EC_{50}$ of 0.6 mg/ml and $CC_{50}$ of 5.99 mg/ml, respectively.

To evaluate anti-influenza virus activity of 113 specimens of Korean traditional medicine both water and methanol extracts were examined using haemagglutination inhibition test. The water extract from Citrus junos was found to inhibit influenza virus A/Taiwan/l/86(H1N1). The survival rates of virus were determined by in situ cellular enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The water extract of Citrus junos was fractionated by chromatographic separating using Amberlite XAD-4, 40% MeOH and 60% MeOH layer had antiviral activity. The half inhibition concentration $(IC_{50})$ of 40% MeOH layer on survival of influenza virus was $MIC>361.5{\mu}g/ml$ and $IC_{50}$ value of fr. 40-4 fractionated from 40% MeOH layer was $677.19{\mu}g/ml$. These results suggested that the fractions of Citus junos have potent anti-influenza A virus activity.

The roots of Caragana chamlagu have been used as neuralgia, arthritis and migraine in the folk medicines of Korea. The methanolic extract of the leaves of Caragana chamlagu was suspended with water and then separated with chloroform. Compound I was isolated from precipitates of these water fraction by recrystalization. The aqueous fraction of MeOH extract was performed to column chromatography on Amberlite XAD-4 and Sephadex LH-20, and three compounds, compound II, compound III, and compound IV were isolated. The structures of the four compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic data of $^1H-NMR$, ^{13}C-NMR$, IR, and FAB-MS. Compound I-IV were tilianine ($acacetin-7-O-{\beta}-D-glycopyranoside$), rutin($quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosy(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glu-copyranoside$), $kaempferol-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$, and apigetrin, ($apigenin-7-O-{\beta}-D-glycopyranoside$), respectively.

Recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) was produced by E. coli BL21 harboring a plasmid pYHB101. The maximum production was 68.7 mg/l when the E. coli strain was cultured at 25$\circ$C for 48 hours in the modified MBL medium containing 10 g/l glucose with 1 mM IPTG induction at 2 hours after inoculation. The rhEGF was purified upto 267 folds by Amberlite XAD- 7 chromatography, ultrafiltration, and DEAE Sepharose fast flow ion exchange chromatography with an overall yield of 66.6%. The purified rhEGF was further separated into two fractions by HPLC. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the second fraction was Asn-Ser-Asp-Ser-Glu-Cys-Pro-Leu-Ser-His. The effect of rhEGF on the DNA synthesis was examined using in vitro biological assay based on the incorporation of 5'-bromo-2'- deoxy-uridine (BrdU). The purified rhEGF shows no difference with natural human epidermal growth factor (nhEGF) in N-terminal amino acids residues and biological activity. From the results, we concluded that rhEGF produced from E. coli harboring the plasmid pYHB101 was apparently the same as nhEGF.

As a series of the studies on the specific and indigenous plants of Mt. Halla, the constituents from stem of Rhamnus taquetii (Rhamnaceae) were investigated. From the water fraction of the MeOH extract, a new flavonol glycoside, kaempferide-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1->3)-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-6)-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside, was isolated with three known compounds, quercetin, quercetin-3-methylether, kaempferol, by column chromatographic separation using Amberlite XAD-2, ODS-gel and Sephadex LH-20 and elucidated physico-chemical evidences($^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR$,IR, EI-Mass, FAB-Mass, and G.C.),respectively.
