Isoniazid(INH)는 체내(體內)에서 신속(迅速)히 흡수(吸收)되어 일부(一部)는 치료효과(治療?果)가 있는 유리(遊離) INH로 변(變)하고 일부(一部)는 치료효과(治療?果)가 없는 acetylisoniazid, isonicotinic acid, isonicotinuric acid등(等)으로 대사(代謝)되어 불활성화(不活性化)된다. 가토(家兎)의 뇨(尿) 및 혈장중(血?中)에서 총(總) INH에 대(對)한 유리(遊離) INH의 비(比)를 정색적(呈色的)으로 정량(定量) 산출(算出)함으로써 INH의 불활성화(不活性化)에 미치는 Ethambutol(EMB)의 영향(影響)을 실험(實驗)하였다. 가토(家兎)에 INH를 경구투여(經口投與)한 결과(結果) 그 대사(代謝)에 의(依)한 불활성화비(不活性化比)는 같은 가토(家兎)에서는 비교적(比較的) 일정(一定)하고 개체간(個體間)의 차이(差異)는 현저하였다. INH에 EMB를 배합투여(配合投與)하거나 분자화합물(分子化合物)을 투여(投與)했을 경우 EMB에 의(依)해 INH의 대사(代謝)가 억제(抑制)되어 INH 단독투여시(單獨投與時)보다 유리(遊離) INH가 뇨(尿) 및 혈장중(血漿中)에서 증가(增加)하였다. EMB에 의(依)한 유리(遊離) INH의 상승(上昇)은 INH단독투여(單獨投與)보다 평균(平均) 1.5배(倍)이며 EMB분자화합물(分子化合物)이 EMB배합물(配合物)보다 혈장중(血?中)에서 1.3배(倍) 높게 나타났다.

The neurotoxicity induced by L-glutamate in primary cultures of rat cortical cells could be attenuated by diterpene constituents of Ginkgo biloba leaves, ginkgolides A, B and C. At the concentration of 100 nM, ginkgolides up-regulated the activity of glutathione reductase in primary cultures of rat cortical cells exposed to 100 ${\mu}$M glutamate. Furthermore, ginkgolides increased the content of reduced glutathione in glutamate-treated cortical cells. However, ginkgolides showed little effect in reducing superoxide dismutase activity. Ginkgolides did, however, markedly block the production of malondialdehyde, a byproduct of lipid peroxidation in glutamate-treated rat cortical cells.

Icariside II, a flavonol glycoside, was isolated from the aerial part of Epimedium Koreanum Nakai by the anti-hepatotoxic acitivity guided fractionation technique employing $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hepatocytes as an assay system. Its anti-hepatotoxic activity was evaluated by measuring activity of glutamic pyruvic transaminase released from the $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hapatocytes. Icariside II significantly reduced the activity of glutamic pyruvic transaminase released from the $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hepatocytes and resulted in 78% recovery of the toxicity at the concentration of $200{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$. The anti-hepatotoxic activity of icariside II on the $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hepatocytes was as potent as that of silybin.

In the course of searching for acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from crude drugs, it was found that total MeOH extract of Corydalis Tuber showed significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase. To isolate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors from Corydalis Tuber, total MeOH extract of the the crude drug was subjected to activity guided fractionation. The MeOH extract was suspended in water and fractionated with methylene chloride and subjected to acid-base fractionation. Silica gel column chromatography of the basic fraction which showed significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase was carried out and 5 subfractions (1-5) were obtained. From subtraction 4, compound I was isolated. The structure of isolated compound I was identified by spectroscopic parameters of $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, EI-MS and FAB-MS. The compound I was identified as berberine. It was found from the Lineweaver-Burk plot that berberine was a reversible and specific inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase having 90% inhibitory effect at the concentration of $2.5{\mu}M$.
