79종의 식물재료의 Alternaria alternata에 대한 항균활성을 조사한 결과, 7가지 식물재료가 항균활성이 있었고, 11가지는 확실치 않았으며, 나머지 61가지는 항균활성이 나타나지 않았다. A. alternata에 항균활성이 나타난 7가지 식물재료 중 계피가 활성이 가장 높았으며, 오미지와 천궁이 중정도의 활성을 보였으며, 나머지는 약한 활성을 나타내었다. 항균 활성 성분은 계피와 천궁의 경우는 diethyl ether에 분리되었고, 오미자의 경우는 butanol에 분리되었다. 계피의 diethyl ether 추출물은 1,000 배액 이하에서 식별 가능한 항균활성이 나타났다. 계피의 성분으로 cinnam aldehyde가 가장 높은 활성을 보여, 이 물질이 계피의 주요 항균물질로 사료된다.

Major factors including solvent and reaction temperature in the cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE), photoinduced in the presence of diphenyliodonium iodide (DPII) zinc iodide in toluene/diethyl ether mixed solvent has been investigated. It was found that the living nature of the propagating species and the tacticity of the resulting polymer is significantly dependent on these factors. The addition of diethyl ether (DEE) results in not only the loss of the cationic living nature but also decrease in the isotactic content.

The constant-volume method was used to determine the solubility of CO₂ in various physical absorbents such as DMPEG (dimethyl ether of polyethylene glycol), DEC (diethyl carbonate), DMC (dimethyl carbonate), and TAT (triacetin) in the total pressure range from 5 to 30 bar. The Peng-Robinson equation of state has been used to describe the equilibrium behavior of these mixtures. It was found that the solubility of absorbents was in the of DMPEG250 > TAT > DEC > DMC at the same temperature. Futhermore, the solubiity of blended absorbent of DMPEG250 and DEC is higher than that of DMPEG 250 alone. Therefore, blended absorbent of DMPEG250 and DEC is expected to be an effective and low cost absorbent for physical absorption in precombustion CO₂ capture.

Inhibition of xanthine oxidase by seaweed extracts obtained from Undaria pinnatifida, Ecklonia stolonifera, Ecklonia cava, Laminaria japonica, Sargassum, Codiumfragile, Enteromorpha compressa and Porphyra tenera were investigated. Extracts of E. stolonifera and E. mua remarkably inhibited xanthine oxidase activity compared to those of other seaweed. The xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of E. cava was higher than that of E. stolonifera. Diethyl ether extract from E. cava was more effective in the inhibition of xanthine oxidase than other solvent extracts. Two xanthine oxidase inhibitors(A-1 and A-2) from diethyl ether extract were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities of these compounds were 27.8 and 48.1% per 0.4mg, respectively. The active compound A-2 had absorption peak at 420nm, 456nm and 467nm, which can be considered as siphonaxanthine.

Ark shell (Scapharca broughtonii; Korean name, pijogae) is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed shellfishes in Korea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of ark shell. After preparing the methanol extract of ark shell powder, the extract was subsequently fractionated by hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and water. The antioxidant activity evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing power was relatively higher in the water fraction; however, the activity was spread out in all fractions. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was the highest in the diethyl ether fraction. Taken together with the results of both antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities, it can be suggested that different kinds of physiological compounds were contained in the ark shell.

The present study describes the preliminary evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of the extracts from Inula japonica. I. japonica was extracted with methanol, ethanol, acetone, and water, and then cytotoxic activity of these extracts were evaluated. The cytotoxic activity of each extract was assessed by the MTT-dye reduction assay. Both ethanol and acetone extracts from I. japonica showed the cytotoxic activity against the HT-29 human colon cancer cells. Furthermore, the ethanol extract was fractionated with n-hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and water according to degree of Polarity, The diethyl ether fraction showed the highest cytotoxic activity against HT-29 cells, but the other fractions showed low cytotokic activity. In addition, diethyl ether layer also showed the cytotoxic activity against various tumor cells, such as human colon carcinoma SW620, human cervix adenocarcinoma HeLa, and human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells as well as HT-29 cells. These studies support that extracts of I. japonica may be a potential candidate as possible chemotherapeutic agent against human cancer.

This study was carried out to investigate whether Chrysanthermum zawadskii var. latilobum Kitamura (C. zawadskii) extracts has an inhibitory effect against the mutagenicity by cigarette smoke condensates (CSC). C. zawadskii was extracted with 70% ethanol and the yield was 18.5%. We further fractioned 70% ethanol extract sequentially to diethylether, chloroform, dichloromethane, and aqueous water, and gained the yield of 17.5%, 5.6%, 5.8%, 32.8% and 35.5%, respectively. In the Ames test, there was no mutagenic effect of crude extract and its solvent fractions up to 2 mg/plate toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 with or without S-9 mix metabolic activations. On the contrary, the crude extract showed an inhibitory activity against the mutagenicity of CSC in the presence of S-9 mix metabolic activation. Diethyl ether layer among five solvent fractions showed the highest inhibitory activity. The inhibitory activity of diethyl ether fraction was also increased in a dose-dependent manner and the inhibitory rate was about 97.7% at the concentration of 1 mg/plate. In this study, we conclude that crude extract of C. zawadskii itself is potentially safe for mutagenicity, and the diethyl ether fraction has an inhibitory effect against the mutagenicity of CSC.

Background: The present study was carried out to asses whether mulberry leaves (MLs) have the potential to inhibit the mutagenic effect of cigarette smoke condensates (CSCs). Methods and Results: ML powder was extracted with 70% ethanol, and a yield of 35.1% by weight was obtained. The 70% ethanol extract of ML was further extracted sequentially using diethyl ether, chloroform, butanol, dichloromethane and water. The crude 70% ethanol extract of MLs and its solvent fractions did not show any mutagenic effect when tested at concentrations up to 1 mg/plate against Salmonella typhimurium TA98. In contrast, the crude 70% ethanol extract showed an inhibitory activity against the mutagenicity of CSCs in the presence of S-9 mixture. Among the solvent fractions, the diethyl ether fraction showed the highest inhibitory activity, which increased in a dose-dependent manner, inhibiting mutagenesis by approximately 97.1% at a concentration of 1 mg/plate. Conclusions: In this study, we found that a crude 70% ethanol extract of MLs and the diethyl ether fraction themselves are potentially not mutagenic, but inhibit the mutagenic effect of CSCs.

This study was carried out to investigate the constituents of Platycarya strobilacea (Juglandaceae) wood. To isolate compounds, wood was extracted with ethanol (EtOH) and then partitioned with petroleum ether, diethyl ether (Et₂O) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) successively. After partitioned, diethyl ether fraction was subjected to column chromatography with various solvent system in silica gel and/or Sephadex LH-20. Structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including MS, ¹H, ¹³C and 2D-NMR experiments. Three compounds were isolated from the wood and identified as kaempferol 3-O-𝛼-L-rhamnopyranoside (afzelin, I), quercetin 3-O-𝛼-L-rhamnopyranoside (quercitrin, II), myricetin 3-O-𝛼-L-rhamnopyranoside (myricitrin, III).

The polymerization of a cyclopolymerizable disubstituted dipropargyl ether, his(3-trimethylsilyl-2-propynyl)ether (BTPE), was attempted by various transition metal catalysts. The yield for the polymerization of BTPE was generally low, which is possibly due to the steric hindrance of bulky substituents. In general, the catalytic activities of Mo-based catalysts were found to be greater than those of W-based catalysts. The highest yield was obtained when the MoCl$_{5}$,-EtAlCl$_2$(1:2) catalyst system was used. The copolymerization of BTPE and diethyl dipropargylmalonate yielded a random copolymer with conjugated polymer backbone. However the polymers were partially desilylated, depending on the reaction conditions. The thermal and morphological properties of the resulting polymers were also discussed.d.
