Nonpolar taxoides extracted from a large-scale cell culture of Taxus chinensis were isolated through the normal and reverse phase column chromatographies, and their compounds were identified via NMR spectroscopy. The complete separation method was systematically established and described. In dichloromethane, dissolved paclitaxel and other taxoids with hexane were precipitated during the purification of paclitaxel from the plant cell culture of T. chinensis through a large-scale process while the relatively nonpolar taxane derivatives remained dissolved in the hexane phase. 13-Deoxy baccatin III (I), baccatin VI (II), taxchinin I (III), $2{\alpha}$, $5{\alpha}$, $10{\beta}$, $14{\beta}$-tetraacetoxy-4(20), 11-taxadiene(IV), 1-deoxy baccatinVI(V), and taxayuntin C (VI) were isolated through column chromatography and identified via NMR spectroscopy. Compounds I and IV were found to the major components, aside from paclitaxel, in the plant cell culture of T. chinensis. The concentrations of I and IV were compared with the that concentration of the paclitaxel in each of plant cell culture. The possible applications of compounds I, II, IV, and V were discussed.

This was a study examining the fatliquoring of natural dyed cow skin with Coptis chinensis Franch. The K/S according to optimal dyeing condition, mordants and mordanting method was measured. And the surface, sections, tensile strength, elongation, stiffness and colorfastness according to post-dyeing fatliquoring were observed. The optimal conditions include 300%(o.w.f.), $50^{\circ}C$, 30 minites. Fe-simmordanting showed the highest dyeability. Coptis chinensis Franch showed a yellow color regardless of mordants and mordanting methods. Tensile strength and elongation increased in the case of simmordanting compared with untreated and the process of fatliquoring further increased. The softness significantly increased when fatliquored. Shrinkage was slightly reduced when dyed, but showed almost no change with fatliquoring. Lastly, color fastness increased overall with mordanting and partly increased with fatliquoring. The rubbing and light fastness were excellent Cu- mordanting, and drycleaning fastness also improved with Cr-mordanting.

The chromosome of Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata Chunchon area in 1988 was analysed by using aceto-orcein squash techniques of spermatogonial tissues to obtain mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. The chromosome cycle did not differ, in general, from that found in other snails, C. chinensis malleata has 18 diploid chromosomes and they were identified and classified into 2 groups. The mitotic chromosome complement of this species consists of 2 pairs of metacentric and 7 pairs of submetacentric chromosomes, Spermatogonial metaphase chromosomes range in length from 4.10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the largest pair to 2.20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the smallest pair.

Two dineolignans (1,2) with nitric oxide inhibitory activities were isolated from Saururus chinensis (Saururaceae) using silica gel column chromatography. Although the structures, saucernetin-7 (1) and -8 (2), have been already reported, NMR assignment of the two compounds was completed aided by 2D-NMR spectroscopy including $^1H-^1H$ COSY, $^1H-^{13}C$ COSY, HMBC and NOESY NMR spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant nitride oxide inhibitory activity in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells with $IC_{50}$ values of $11.3{\mu}M\;and\;7.1{\mu}M$, respectively.

The heavy metal removability of four kinds of tea was investigated in the various conditions: particle size of tea(10, 35. 70, 100 mesh), concentration of heavy metal(25, 50, 100ppm) and extraction temperature(30. 50, 70. 10$0^{\circ}C$). The removabilities by the tea solids were increased as the particle size decreased, concentration of heavy metal increased, and extracting temperature increased. Of the four kinds of tea Pb, Cd and Cu removability by Eucommia ulmoides Oliv tea was the highest. In addition, heavy metal removability by Schizandra chinensis Baillon tea was better than that of other tea as extraction temperature was increased.

Reactive oxygen species are capable of damaging biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, which can not only lead to various diseases, but also oxidative damage resulting aging. In our previous study, Cercis chinensis (Leguminosae) showed a potent antioxidant activity. Twenty compounds including a new flavonol glycoside were isolated through antioxidant activity-guided fractionation. C. chinensis and some of the constituents exhibited a potent antioxidant activity on the free radicals and lipid peroxidation and a notable protective effect on the t-BuOOH induced oxidative damage.

Strawberry and cucumber were dipped with Korean medical herb extracts such as Rheum palmatum L. and Coptis chinensis Franch. to maintain the keeping quality during storage at 5$^{\circ}$C and 10$^{\circ}$C, respectively. Treatment with 500 ppm solutions gor strawberry retarded weight loss, microbial load increase, and decay during storage. Decay ratio was shown 68.8% for control, 45.0% for Rheum palmatum L. and 42.5% for Coptis chinensis Franch. at 10 days. Strawberry treated with Coptis chinensis Franch. showed a higher hardness and soluble solid content than others. Cucumber treated with 1,000 ppm solutions revealed a different O$_2$ and CO$_2$ concentrations after 16 days. Korean medical herb extracts showed an antimicrobial activity for the quality retention of cucumber during storage. Ascorbic acid content was generally increased till 8 days, but decreased thereafter.

This study was performed to determine the cytotoxic effect of methanol extract from medicinal plants. 1. The cell viability was determined by MTT method. Their cytotoxic activities against three cancer cell lines such as A549, MDA-MB-231 and SNU-C4 cell line were tested. 2. Among them, The methanol extract of Saururus Ohinensis Bail showed the strongest cytotoxic effect against SNU-C4 cells. These results suggest that the methanol extract of Saururus Ohinensis Bail possessed a potential antitumorous agent. 3. The free radical scavenging activity using DPPH method was the strongest of Saururus Chinensis Bail extract.

한국에 분포된 논우렁이과(family Viviparidae)에는 논우렁이(Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata)와 큰논우렁이(C. japonica) 두 종으로 알려져 있으나 그 형태적 차이점을 구별하기는 쉽지 않다. 형태학적 주요 차이점은 논우렁이에서 패각의 봉합이 깊어 나탑이 뚜렸하고 둥글며 spire angle이 약 62。- 66。인데 비해, 큰 논우렁이는 봉합이 깊지 않아 나탑이 뚜렷하지 못하고 밋밋하며 각 나층에 두개씩의 나륵이 있는 점과 spire angle이 약 58。- 61。인 점이다. 소화기관과 생식기관에서는 2종의 암, 수 모두에서 특이할만한 차이점을 찾아 볼 수 없으나 논우러이는 큰논우렁이에 비해 전반적으로 크고 긴 기관들을 갖고 있었다. 논우렁이와 큰노누렁이 모두에서 IM, IOL, ILL, IC, ILL, IOL, IM의 치설 배열을 보였으나 분치(cusp)배열이 다소 상이하였으며, 논우렁이 개체군 사이에도 분치 배열의 상이점이 관찰되었다. 그러나 위의 두 종은 형태적으로 유사성이 높기 때문에 $\beta$-분류 및 $\gamma$-분류로 그 체계를 확실히 구명하여야 할 필요성이 인정된다.

Low density polyethlene(LDPE0 films of 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness were fabricated with addition of antimicrobial agents of Rheum palmatum extract, Coptis chinensis extract, sorbic acid and Ag-substitude inorganic zirconium matrix in 1% concentration. The films were compared in physical properties, tested in antimicrobial activity against some selected microorganisms on the agar plate medium and then applied for packaging fresh curled lettuce and cucumber to preserve their qualities. The films with Rheum palmatum extract, Coptis chinensis extract, and Ag-substituted inorganic zirconium matrix did not show any antimicrobial activity on the disk test against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicilluium chrysogenum, while film with sorbic acid did against E. coli, S. aureus and L. mesenteroides. The added antimicrobial agents changed the color and light transmittance of the films, but did not affect their mechanical tensile strength, heat shrinkage and wettability. For the packaged curled lettuce and cucumber stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ and 1$0^{\circ}C$, all the LDPE films impregnated with antimicrobial agents showed the reduced growth of total aerobic bacteria in the vegetables compared with control film without any additive until it reached the level around 108/g. They did not give any negative effect on other quality attributes during storage.
