The infrageneric chemotaxonomy of 9 species of Tabebuia (Bignoniaceae) expressed in terms of synthetic numerical indices, indicate that they are closely related. The dendrogram of cluster analysis is suggestive of splitting of species studied, into 4 clusters.

A 5-C-methylcoumarin was isolated from the petroleum ether extract of Toona ciliata stem bark. Its structure was established as 7-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-methylcoumarin on the basis of spectral data, including 2D NMR.

Some known coumarins, decursin, nodakenetin, umbelliferone, 7-demethylsuberosin, columbianetin, decursinol angelate and decursinol, showing significant cytotoxic activities against P388 cell lines,were isolated from the roots of Angelica gigas (Umbelliferae) . 7-Demethylsuberosin and columbianetinwere obtained from Angelica gigas for the first time. Chernotaxonornic difference about coumarins com-ponents between the roots of Angelica gigas and those of A. acutiloba is also discussed.

This study was carried out to optimize the conditions for a chemotaxonomic classification of Ganoderma species. The mycelia of Ganoderma species were extracted with 100% MeOH, and the concentrated extracts were further purified and partitioned with column chromatography (HP20) and n-BuOH, respectively. From the result of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the constituents of the samples were efficiently separated with a Chemco Pak $C_{18}$ column ($250mm{\times}4.6mm$) by linear gradient elution using water and acetonitrile as mobile phase components at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min and detector wavelength at 210 nm. However, the samples without purification or partition were not detected the characteristic peaks. This profile could be used to classify and identify the various Ganoderma species.

Metabolomics is the systematic identification and quantification of all metabolites in an organism or biological sample. NMR has been used as a major application tool in plant metabolomics such as quality control, chemotaxonomy, and analysis of genetically modified plants. Herbal medicines are the important therapeutics and are used to manage common diseases such as cold, inflammation, pain, heart diseases, liver cirrhosis, diabetes and central nerve system diseases. Herb plants include various kinds of species such as geranium, mint, and thyme and so on and contain different kinds of metabolites. We performed NMR-based metabolomics study on the seven different species of herb plants using $^1H$ NMR experiments and OPLS-DA to understand the correlation between the classification of herb plants and their metabolite contents. This study showed clear metabolic discrimination among various herb plants. This metabolmics study found several diagnostic NMR signals which are able to be used as bio-markers for identification of the specific herb plants among various species. Clear metabolic discrimination of herb plants suggests three chemotaxonomic groups of herb species.

A new isoflavone, $(+)-4'-O-methyl-8-C-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosylgenistein$, was isolated from the aerial parts of Spartidium saharae together with the known isoflavone, $(+)-8-C-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosylgenistein$ as well as dipiperidine alkaloids, (+)-ammodendrine and (+)-N-acetyl hystrine. Details of their structure elucidation are based on chemical and spectroscopic methods. N-formyl ammodendrine was detected by GC-MS. The potential chemotaxonomic value of the alkaloid content is explored. Cytotoxic activity has been determined for both alcoholic extract and isolated compounds.

A new strain of acidophilic, acetogenic bacterium, Acetobacter sp. strain HA was isolated by selective enrichment from the traditionally fermented rice wine vinegar in Korea. It was a gram-negative, non-motile short rod and oxidized acetate and lactate. The optimal temperature and pH for growth were $28^{\circ}C$ and 4.0, respectively. The strain HA differed from other Acetobacter species by growing well on methanol, xylitol, inositol, dulcitol, D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-mannose as sole sources of carbon and energy. The isolated strain HA did not produce $\gamma$-pyrones from glucose and did not produce ketone bodies from glycerol. The quinone system used in this study was an ubiquinone-9 isoprene unit. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the DNA was 50.7 mol%, and the major cellular fatty acids were $C_{18:1} and C_{16:0}$.

Four polymethoxyfavones were isolated from the leaves of Citrus deliciosa, three of which (nobiletin, 5-O-demethylnobiletin, and tangeritin) are bioactive. The fourth (7,4'-dihydroxy-5,6,8,3'-tetramethoxyflavone) is reported for the first time in the genus Citrus and is a potential chemotaxonomic marker. The structures of these flavones were confirmed by analysing their spectral data and comparison with similar compounds. The previously reported $^{13}C$ NMR assignment of 5-O-demethylnobiletin has been revised on the basis of 2D NMR experiments (HETCOR, COSY, and COLOC). The chemotaxonomic value of the present finding is verified.
