The aim of this study was to evaluate the basic data of Cirsium setidens Nakai fine powder (FPC), which will then be used in the development of functional fooditems. We measures and evaluated the level of pectolinarin content, phenol content, flavonoids content, antioxidants and anti-obesity properties of FPC. Our results from the study showed that the pectolinarin, phenol, and flavonoids contents of FPC measured at 10.95±0.1 5mg/g, 12.92±0.18 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g and 26.47±0.77 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/g, respectively. The exhibited antioxidant activity of FPC increased significantly depending on the dosage, and additionally. FPC did not show any cytotoxicity up to the dosage level of 500 μg/mL. During adipocyte differentiation, FPC significantly inhibited ROS production and lipid accumulation, compared with the control substance. These results suggest that FPC could be considered a promising resource of natural antioxidants and could serve a variety of health-improving roles in the production of functional food ingredients.

Stigmastanol, a functional agent of cholesterol-lowering in humans, was synthesized from stigmasterol. To investigate the usability as a raw material, the contents of sterol in vegetable oils and extract of soybean chaff were analyzed. The total sterol contents showed high values of 213.7 and 209.8 mg/100g in corn and soybean oils respectively. The extract of soybean chaff has played a good role as a raw material with high sterol contents. The kinetics of hydrogenation of stigmasterol was studied using a 5% Pd/AC catalyst in the temperature range of 30~$60^{\circ}$C. Increasing temperature showed a prominent decrease in conversion. The optimum temperature was $40^{\circ}$C for high yield of stigmastanol. The effects of $H_2$ pressure, agitation speed, catalyst loading, and stigmasterol concentration on reaction rate profile were also examined. From the power law model analysis using the initial rates of reaction, the reaction order was calculated as 0.705 for stigmasterol concentration and 0.147 for hydrogen pressure.

Paecilomyces tenuipes, a caterpillar fungus, contains many health-promoting ingredients. Recent reports indicate that consumption of P. tenuipes helps reducing blood sugar content for diabetes. Mechanism for reduction in the circulatory sugar content, however, still remains least understood. Methanolic extraction of P. tenuipes (MPT) was prepared and acetoxyscirpendiol (ASD) was subsequently purified limn MPT. Glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) was expressed in the Xenopus oocytes and the effect of MPT or ASD on the expressed GLUT-1 was analyzed according to the uptake of 2-dideoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG). MPT was shown to inhibit GLUT-1 activity significant1y compared to the non-treated control. In the presence of ASD and its derivatives, GLUT-1 activity was greatly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. Among ASD and its derivatives, AS-1 showed most significant inhibition. Taken together, these results strongly indicate that ASD in P. tenuipes may serve as a functional substance in lowering blood sugar in the circulatory system. ASD and its derivatives can be utilized as inhibitors of GLUT-1.

Developing new substance for immunosuppressor or immunomodulator from natural products is extremely important in the present biomedicine. In this paper, we focused our efforts on the mitogenicity and immunochemical properties of the two lectins (LCC-I, LCC-II) obtained from marine animal Lunella coronata coreensis. Immunochemical techniques were employed to elucidate the structural and/or functional similarities between the LCC lectins. Molecular weight of the LCC lectins, LCC-I and LCC-II were estimated to be around 60 KD and 66-70 KD, respectively. LCC lectins were mitogens for murine splenic lymphocytes, and the optimum mitogenic doses were 31.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and 3.91 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively. LCC-II lectin was a good mitogen toward human peripheral lymphocytes at a concentration about 31.25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml.

Hypocholesterolemic peptide isolated from glycimin (11S protein) hydrolyzate by trypsin was purified and identified as LPYP and IAVPGEVA. To investigate the effects of phyiscal properties of side chains of the hypocholesterolemic activity, some of mutant peptides were designed and synthesized chemically. The structure related structures of each peptide were simulated and constructed and their conformations were observed by using spectropolarimeter. The hypocholesterolemic activities were monitored by assaying the inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) in vitro and by the determination of cholesterol content in mice serum. For LPYP derivatives, Hypocholesterolemic activity was lost when hydrophobic leucine residue at N-terminus was not so critical for maintaining hypocholesterolemic activity. For idealogical design of hypocholesterolemic peptides, the structure of HMG-CoA reductase are shown and inhibition mechanism of some peptides or inhibitors will be presented. For IAVPGEVA derivative inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase has been studied. For detail study of hypocholesterolemic activity, kinetic study of inhibition of peptides on HMG-CoA reductase and structural view of ligand binding should be investigated.

Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai belonging to Oleaceae is only species in Korean endemic genus, Abeliophyllum. Abeliophyllum distichum (AD) is divided into various types according to flower shape and color. AD is known to have various colors such as white, pink, and ivory. Recently, light yellow flowers have been registered as new varieties (Okhwang 1ho). To date, various ecological and morphological studies on AD have been carried out, but no studies have been made on the phytochemicals and activities according to various traits. In this study, we analyzed the phytochemicals and antioxidative activities of from four kinds of flowers (white, pink, ivory, light yellow) in full bloom. The contents of phytochemicals such as chlorogenic acid, Hirsutrin, Rutin, Acteoside and Isoacteoside were analyzed by HPLC. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH, ABTS. As a result, the content of each substance varied according to the flower color. These results will provide basic data for evaluating the usefulness of genetic resources in Korea and developing new functional materials in preparation for the Nagoya Protocol.
