While searching for pancreatic lipase inhibitors, the active compound was found in a methanol extract of Apis mellifera venome. The active compound was isolated by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and HPLC. The active compound is stable to the extreme pH and heat. There is no loss of activity both in acidic and alkaline solution in the pH range of 2 to 11 by heating for 15 minutes at $90^{\circ}C$. The rf value of the compound was 0.51 at TLC with butanol : methanol: water (4:1:2) solvent system. The molecular weight of the compound was determined to be 293 by EI-MS.

Three isoflavonoids having tyrosinase-inhibiting activity were isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. 20747. Their structures were determined by UV, EI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR to be daidzein, daidzein 7-rhamnoside, and genistein 7-rhamnoside, which were competitive with substrate and had IC50 value of 14, 19, and 16 ng/ml, respectively to mushroom tyrosinase and did not inhibit melanin production of Streptomyces bikiniensis. Soybean meal as well as peptone were found to be a good nitrogen source for tyrosinase-inhibiting isoflavonoids production, susgesting that soybean meal is not the origin of tyrosinase inhibiting isoflavonoids formation in Streptomyces sp. 20747 strain.

The metabolism of carbinoxamine, 2-[(4-chlorophenyl)-2-pyridinyl-methoxy]-N, N-dimethylethaneamine, was studied in adult male volunteers after an oral dose of 15 mg. Solvent extracts of urine obtained with or without enzyme hydrolysis were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after derivatization with MSTFA/TMSCl (N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide/trimethyl chlorosilane). The structures of metabolites were determined based on the electron impact (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) mass spectra. Nonconjugated metabolites identified in the urine were carbinoxamine, nor-carbinoxamine, and bits-nor-carbinoxamine. Parent drug, nor-carbinoxamine, and bits-nor-carbinoxamine were also detected as conjugated forms. These metabolites observed in human urine were different from those previously reported in the rat. Urinary excretions of carbinoxamine were reached to maxima in 4 hours after drug administration with 4.9%-8.1% and 2.5-4.2% of the dose excreted during 24 h as carbinoxamine and its glucuronide, respectively.

A gas chromatography/mass spectrometric assay method was developed for the determination of propylene oxide adduct, N-(3-hydroxypropyl)valine. Adduct was released from hemoglobin by alkaline hydrolysis and extract at pH 8 with ethyl ether. The dried extract was completely derivatized with N-Methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA)/TMS-I (100:3). The detection limits of the assay were 0.08 ng/g for N-(3-hydroxypropyl)valine based upon assayed hemoglobin of 0.1 g. The method was applied to the determination of propylene oxide adduct formed in young female Sprague-Dawley rats after treatment for 1, 2 and 3 weeks with 0.008 % propylene oxide via the drinking water. An adduct was detected by proposed procedure. The structure of the adduct could be assigned to N-(3-hydroxypropyl)valine.

Previously , the methanolic extract of peach sees was found to have a strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity in an in vitro assay. Several phenolic compunds were isolated from the seeds by solvent fractionation , Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, and preparative HPLC , and one of them showing strong tyrosinase inhibition was identified as benzoic acid by UV, IR, $^1$H/$^1$$^3$C-NMR, and EI-MS spectrsopy. Benzoic acid (IC50= 250$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) and L-ascorbic acid (IC50=28$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), well-known tyrosinase inhibitors. In particular , benzoic acid inhibited markedly the enzymatic browing (melanosis) of apple juices at low concentration of 0.01% and 0.05, comparable to that of L-ascorbic acid (P<0.05). these results suggest that benzoic acid, one of an effective food preservatives, may be potentially useful as a functional alternative to sulfites for the control of melanosis in fruit juices.

The sutdies were carried out to evaluate the consituents in the rihzomes of the cultivated Korean Rhubarb (Polygonaceae). From the acetone fraction ofl methanol extract Compound I (1, 8-dihydroxy-3-methyl anthraquinone, chrysophanic acid), Compound II($chrysophanol-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$), Compound III ($emodin-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$) and Compound IV ($aloe-emodin-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$), and from the ether fraction Compound V(1, 8-dihydorxy-3-emthyl-6-methoxy anthraquinone, physcion) and Compound VI (1, 6, 8-thitydroxy-3-emthyl anthrauinone, emodin), and also from the n-buthanol fraction Compound VII ($rhapontigenin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside, rhaponticin$) and Compound VIII ($piceatannol-3'-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$), were isolated and identified on the basis of their physico-chemical and spectroscopic evidences (UV, IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, EI-MS), respectively.

Antagonistic bacteria active against phytopathogenic fungi, Phytophthora capsici, Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, and Fusarium oxysporum were isolated from greenhouse soils. An antifungal compound was extracted by ethyl acetate from acidified culture filtrate and purified through column chromatography and thin layer chromatography. Activity-guided bioassay was followed throughout the purification steps using Pythium ultimum as a test organism. The purified antifungal compound was identified as phenylacetic acid (PAA) based on the data obtained from IR, EI/MS, $^1H-NMR$, and $^{13}C-NMR$. Two different isolates, which had vast differences in differential characteristics except 16S rDNA sequence homology, produced the same compound, phenylacetic acid. $ED_{50}$ values of the phenylacetic acid against P. ultimum, P. capsici, R. solani, B. cinerea, and F. oxysporum were 45, 21, 318, 360, and 226 ppm, respectively.

For the comparison of the urushiol composition and biological acitivity between the fresh sap and fire distilled sap of lacquer tree(Rhus vernicifera), we analysed the urushiol composition by HPLC and EI-MS, and investigated the antioxidative , antimicrobial and anticancer acitivities according to solvent fractionations. There was no difference in the urushiol composition between fresh and fire distilled saps of lacquer tree. The hexane frqctionsof two saps showed a strong DPPH radical scaverging activity (RC50 : 7.0-7.5$\mu\textrm{g}$). They also showed a strong antifungal activity onthe spore germination of Cladosporium herbarum(MIC : 8$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), whereas they have no or low activity against the bacteria(BAcillus subtilis , Escherichia coli). In addition , hexane and butanol fractions of two saps showed a strong inhibitory activity against cultured tumour cell lines (GI50 : 0.35, 12.29$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) in vitro. These results confirm that the fresh sap and fire distilled sap might have the similar urushiol compositions and biological activities.

Methanol extracts were prepared from loquat leaves (2 kg) and successively fractionated with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water solvents. The ethyl acetate fraction exhibited the highest antioxidative and, antimicrobial activities. Therefore, the ethyl acetate fraction was purified and a chemical structure was identified by $^1H$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectra, FT-IR and EI/MS spectroscopies. The isolated antioxidative and antimicrobial substance was identified as epicatechin.

In the course of screening for the antifungal compounds against Candida albicans, an antifungal compound (F1480) was isolated from the culture broth of Aspergillus candidus F1484. Isolation and purification of compound F1484 were performed using ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel column chromatography, ODS column chromatography, and preparative HPLC. The structure of compound F1484 was determined by the spectroscopic analyses of EI-MS, $^{13}$C, $^{1}$H-NMR, DEPT, HMQC, and HMBC. This compound appeared to have a structure of antifungal agent, chloroflavonin. In addition to antifungal activities against the yeast phase of Candida species, compound F1484 showed cytotoxic effect against various human tumor cell lines.
