자생종과 귀화종의 토양 pH를 측정한 결과 자생종의 토양 pH범위는 5.33~7.20인 반면 귀화 종의 토양 pH는 3.95~6.48로 자생종에 비하여 귀화종의 pH가 낮았다. 귀화식물 추출액 50% 농도 이상부터는 잔디의 발아율이 60% 미만으로 급격하게 억제되었으며 망초추출액이 가장 현저한 발아억제를 보인 반면, 자생식물인 차풀의 30%와 50% 추출액농도에서 발아율이 증가하였다. 자생식물과 귀화식물 추출액에 의한 잔디의 유근생장 억제는 각 농도에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 차풀의 경우는 15% 이상의 추출액 농도에서 유근생장이 60% 이상 현저하게 억제되었다. HPLC에 의한 차풀추출액의 성분 분석 결과는 254nm에서 protocatechuic acid, $ ho$-hydroquinone, $\rho$-coumaric acid, ferulic acid가 분석되었고 284nm에서는 vanillic acid, hydroquinone, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid가 분석되었다. Phenolic compound 각 농도로 잔디의 발아와 유근생장을 조사한 결과 ferulic acid와 vanillic acid는 잔디의 발아율을 증가시켰고 $\rho$-coumaric acid는 유근생장을 억제시켰다.

Vitis vinifera cv. Koshu is a traditional grape cultivar that has been grown for centuries in Japan. The Koshu grape has pink-colored skin and Koshu wines have slight astringency. We demonstrated for the first time the characterization of hydroxycinnamic acids, flavan-3-ols, and flavonoids in Koshu grape using high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The gross weight of phenolic compounds excluding anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins in Koshu grape at harvest was higher than those in Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Merlot grapes. In addition, hydroxycinnamic acid and monomeric flavonol contents in Koshu grape were also higher than those in the other grape cultivars. Transcription analysis of cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, p-coumarate 3-hydroxylase, caffeate methyltransferase, and flavonol synthase genes indicated high accumulation of hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonols in Koshu grape skin compared with the other cultivars. These findings obtained by chemical and molecular approaches partially explained the phenolic characteristics and the peculiar astringency of Koshu grape.

So Cheong Ryong Tang (SCRT) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of the bronchial asthma. In this study, the effect of steaming process on changes in 11 major compounds (homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, glycyrrhizin, 6-gingerol, schizandrin, methyleugenol, gomisin A and gomisin N) content and neuroprotective activity of SCRT were evaluated. Major compound content was slightly different with steaming produce. The contents of paeoniflorin, cinnamic acid, cinnam aldehyde, 6-gingerol and methyleugenol were decreased and homogentisic acid, ephedrine HCl, glycyrrhizin, schizandrin and gomisin A were increased by steaming process. The neuroprotective activity of steaming SCRT was determined in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells by MTT assay. As a result, neuroprotective activity of a steaming SCRT was higher than that of a non steaming SCRT. This study demonstrated that neuroprotective activity of SCRT can be improved through steaming process.

L-Phenylalanine is one of the essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in mammals in adequate amounts to meet the requirements for protein synthesis. Fungi and plants are able to synthesize phenylalanine via the shikimic acid pathway. L-Phenylalanine, derived from the shikimic acid pathway, is used directly for protein synthesis in plants or metabolized through the phenylpropanoid pathway. This phenylpropanoid metabolism leads to the biosynthesis of a wide array of phenylpropanoid secondary products. The first step in this metabolic sequence involves the action of phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL). The discovery of PAL enzyme in fungi and the detection of $^{14}CO_2$ production from $^{14}C$-ring-labeled phenylalanine and cinnamic acid demonstrated that certain fungi can degrade phenylalanine by a pathway involving an initial deamination to cinnamic acid, as happens in plants. In this review, we provide background information on PAL and a recent update on the presence of PAL genes in fungi.

The tannins represent a highly heterogeneous group of water-soluble plant polyphenols that may play an important role in antimutagenic and antioxidant properties. We investigated the antioxidant function of tannic acid in comparison to other phenolic compounds including catechin, chlorogenic acid, cinnamic acid, ellagic acid, and gallic acid for their ability to scavenge several stable radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as ${\bullet}DPPH^+$, ${\bullet}ABTS^+$, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide radical. The ability of tannic acid to decrease paraquat-induced lipid oxidation in mouse liver and lung through its antioxidant properties was also assessed. The results showed that almost all the tested compounds have stable radical scavenging activity except cinnamic acid. Tannic acid, gallic acid, and ellagic acid demonstrated remarkable ROS scavenging properties toward $H_2O_2$, ${\bullet}OH^-$, ${\bullet}O_2^-$ and especially only tannic acid could inhibit paraquat-induced lipid peroxidation effectively in mouse liver and lung. Based on these results, it appears that increased number of galloyl and ortho-hydroxyl groups enhances the antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds and tannic acid is evaluated as the most effective antioxidant among all the tested compounds. These results suggest that the tannins, especially tannic acid, can be used as therapeutic agent for various diseases caused by ROS.

High performance liquid chromatographic method with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) has been performed for the simultaneous determination of four marker constituents, paeoniflorin, trans-cinnamic acid, schisandrin and glycyrrhizin in traditional herbal medicinal preparation, So-Cheong-Ryong-Tang (SCRT). The presence of paeoniflorin, trans-cinnamic acid, schisandrin and glycyrrhizin in this decoction was ascertained by retention time, spiking with each authentic standard, UV spectrum and ESI mass spectrum. All four compounds showed good linearity ($r^2$ > 0.998) in a relatively wide concentration ranges. The RSD for intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 3% and the limits of detection (LOD) were less than 30 ng. The mean recovery of each compound was 94.1-113.0% with RSD values less than 3.0%. These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is simple, effective and could be readily utilized as a quality control method for commercial SCRT products.
