  • Ligusticum tenuissimum belongs to Umbelliferae, and its root is generally used in headache, common cold and arthralgia L. We have extracted and isolated butylidene phthal ide, 3-butylidene-4,5-dihydrophthalide of phthalide group and l-limonene, etc. of terpenoid group from the root by ordinary method. In Ligusticum sinense, L. jeholense, L. tenuissimum, L. jeholense var. tenuisectum, and L. officinale etc., the components of cnidilide, ligustilide of phthalide group are common features and specific constituents in genus Ligusticum. Therefore comparing that there is no phthalide group in genus Angelica, we think it is able to classify the difference of genus between Ligusticum and Angelica of Umbelliferae in chemotaxonomy.

  • This study is about the five species of the genus Thalictrum growing abundantly in South Korea. Dried roots of plants; T. aquilegifolium var. japonica, T. simplex var. affine, T. actaefolium, T. tuberiferum were compared by morphological observation and screening test on the ingredient extracted by methanol, ether etc.. The experiments by thin-layer chromatography was at tempted to find out the similarity and the difference among them. In conclusion, the author found that: 1) A special component similar to coumarin was found under UV-ray from T. actaefolium. 2) By thin-layer chromatography, they show the corresponding spot supposed to be that of berberine and magnoflorine according to the $T_{ABLE}\;IV$. Therefore it is worthwhile considering that Thalictrum species would be a substitution for Epimedium species used as a tonic. 3) Thalictrum species has resemblance of ingredient and chemotaxonomy gives more help to classify them than the morphology.

  • The composition of the phenolic compounds of 14 species, 2 varieties and I taxon of the Sedum plant in Korea were studied to identify their inter-specific relationships and their taxonomical position. The phenograms and contour diagrams obtained from the HPLC of EtOAc soluble fraction of these plants were classified into 7 alliances according to their chemical patterns. These chemical patterns agreed with Satake's classification except for Sedum aizoon. These plants were subdivided into 5 alliances in the Sedum section and 2 alliances in the Hylotelephium section. I type of the Sedum spectabile showed a difference in the number of stamens, it could be trated as another category above variety according to this result.

  • The cellular fatty acids and quinones of streptomycetes isolated from volcanic soils were analysed. The strains contained fatty acids of 14 to 17 carbon chains, and 12-methyltetradecanoic acid and 14 methylpentadecanoic acid were dominant in most strains. The total profiles consisted of 74% branched fatty acid family, 16.8% linear family and 8.2% unsaturated family. The largest cluster of grey spore meases defined by numerical classification was separated from the remainders in the principal component analysis, but the other clusters were overlapped with one another. In the analysis of respiratory quinones, all of the strains contained either the menaquinone of 9 isoprene units with 6 hydrogenations of 8 hydrogenations as the major species. The distribution of menaquinones among the clusters could provide an important key in the chemotaxonomy of streptomycetes.

  • The present study was carried out to evaluate biologically active components of the rhizomes of Sparganium stoloniferum and to supply the preliminary data for the chemotaxonomy and the medicinal application. Extraction and systematic fractionation of the rhizomes by column chromatography led to the isolation of six compounds from ethylacetate and n-butanol soluble fractions. Elucidation of the chemical structures of these compounds by physicochemical and apectral analysis demonstrated that compound I,II ,III,IV,V and Ⅵ were $\beta$-sitosterol, $\beta$-sitosterol-3-$\beta$-D-glucuronopyranoside, 3- (4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid, sorbose, 1-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S, 3R, 4E, 8Z)-2-[(2(R)-hydroxyeicosanoyl)amido]-4,8-octadecadiene-1,3-diol, and $\beta$-sitosterol-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, respectively.

  • Waksman과 Heinrich(1943)에 의해 Streptomyces속이 기술되고 actinomycin, streptomycin등의 많은 항생물질이 발견되면서 방선균(actinomycetes)은 산업적으로 중요한 미생물이 되어 왔으며, 근래에는 항생물질 뿐만 아니라 효소, 효소저해제, 면역조절물질 등 소위 생리활성물질(bioactive compound)의 생산균으로서 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 대부분의 스크리닝이나 연구의 대상은 주로 중성 pH에서 잘 자라는 호중성 방선균(neutrophilic actionmycetes)이었지만 산성이나 알칼리성 토양, 고온, 고열, 고압 등과 같은 특수환경에서 분리된 균주나 희귀 방선균(rare actinomyces)에 대한 관심도 점점 높아지고 있다. 산성 토양에서 분리된 방선균에 관한 연구는 Jensen(1928)의 연구로부터 시작하였지만 Lonsdale(1985)이 침엽수림, 산성탄광 등에서 분리된 방선균을 수리분류할 때까지 활발하게 이루어지지 못하였다. 본 고에서는 호산성 방선균위 분포, 생리적 특성, 수리분류학적 연구, 화학적 분류(chemotaxonomy), 산업적 응용가능성 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

  • On the phytochemical investigation of a 70% ethanol extract of the fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica, (Cacataceae), we could result in the isolation of thirteen phenolic compounds including seven flavonoids (1 - 9) and four simple phenolic glycosides (10 - 13) by column chromatographic methods. Among the isolated compounds, picein (11), androsin (12), and $1-O-feruloyl-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucopyranoside$ (13) were isolated for the first time from O. ficus-indica; additionally, this is the first report $benzyl-O-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucopyranoside$ (10) from the genus Opuntia. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectral data analysis which included 1D, 2D NMR spectrum and ESIMS.

  • Components extracted from 7 species and 18 populations of Chrysosplenium in Korea were compared and analyzed using GC-MS analysis. 57 components (${\geq}80%$ quality) were identified, of which neophytadiene, palmitic acid and phytol were found at all the taxa. Percentage composition of isolated extracts showed a clear difference in components type and GC-MS profile. On the basis of that result, data matrix was made and cluster analysis using UPGMA was conducted. From the result of cluster analysis, two groups were recombined; one with alternate leaves comprised C. japonicum in Ser. Alternifolia and C. flagelliferum in Ser. Flagellifera and the other with opposite leaves gradationally comprised C. psuedofauriei in Ser. Sinica, C. ramosum in Ser. Oppositifolia and C. sphaerospermum, C. valdepilosum, C. flaviflorum in Ser. Pilosa. These chemotaxonomic results agreed in general with those of existing studies on external morphology and molecular. In conclusion, chemical composition can be an useful characters in understanding the relation analysis among interspecific and intraspecific complex with the help of cluster analysis of 7 species and 18 populations of Chrysosplenium in Korea.

  • From the extracts of Crucianella maritima L. (Rubiaceae), five new anthraquinones namely; 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-6-methoxy anthraquinone, 6-methoxy-2-methyl quinizarin, 6-methyl-anthragallol-2,3-dimethyl ether, 6-methyl-anthragallol-2-methyl ether, and 1-hydroxy-2-carbomethoxyanthraquinone were isolated and identified. In addition, deacetyl asperulosidic acid 6'-glucoside sodium salt, a new iridoid diglucoside, along with twelve known anthraquinones, three flavonols, three sterols, and one triterpene were also isolated and identified for the first time from this plant. Their chemical structures were established by physical, chemical and spectroscopic data, including UV, MS, ID- and 2D-NMR analyses. The antimicrobial, cytotoxic activities and a preliminary clinical trial of the crude extracts and some isolates are also presented. Chemotaxonomical aspects are briefly discussed.
