Leaves from Panax ginseng Meyer (Korean origin and Chinese origin of Korean ginseng) and P. quinquefolius (American ginseng) were harvested in Haenam province, Korea, and were analyzed to investigate patterns in major metabolites using HPLC-based metabolic profiling. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to analyze the the HPLC chromatogram data. There was a clear separation between Panax species and/or origins from different countries in the PLS-DA score plots. The ginsenoside compounds of Rg1, Re, Rg2, Rb2, Rb3, and Rd in Korean leaves were higher than in Chinese and American ginseng leaves, and the Rb1 level in P. quinquefolius leaves was higher than in P. ginseng (Korean origin or Chinese origin). HPLC chromatogram data coupled with multivariate statistical analysis can be used to profile the metabolite content and undertake quality control of Panax products.

An analytical methodology was developed for qualitative and quantitative impurity profiling of the coloring agent Sudan III by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection (DAD). The impurities in commercial Sudan III were characterized by comparison of their retention times and UV spectra with those of authentic standards. Four impurities regulated by International Committees in Sudan III were quantified by HPLC-selective UV detection. The impurities in Sudan dye were successfully separated on a reversed phase C18-column within 25 min and sensitively detected by UV spectrometry at two selective wavelengths. Method validation was conducted to determine linearity, precision, accuracy, and limit of quantification (LOQ). The linear dynamic range extended from 0.002 to 4.0%, with a correlation coefficient (R2) greater than 0.995. The LOQs of the impurities ranged from 8.04 to $54.29{\mu}g/mg$. Based on the established method, the levels of regulated impurities in five commercial Sudan III dyes were determined.

해면동물은 강력한 세포독성을 나타내는 함유성분으로 의약후보물질 탐색의 중요한 소재로 이용되고 있으나 최근 해양생태계 보전에 관심이 높아짐에 따라 해면동물 확보는 더욱 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 경향에 대응하고 해양 천연물연구의 활성화를 위한 해양생물자원 데이터베이스 구축을 위하여 181개 해면동물 추출물에 대한 HPLC 프로파일을 생성하고 항염증 및 신경세포보호 활성을 탐색하였다. 이를 통하여 해면동물 추출물 간의 HPLC를 통한 함유성분에 따른 클러스터링이 가능하였고 또한 각각 17개, 14개 시료에서 항염증 활성과 신경세포보호활성이 확인되었다. 이와 같은 연구는 해면동물을 포함한 해양생물자원에서의 효과적인 생리활성 탐색에 도움이 될 것이라고 판단한다.

퀘세틴은 양파에 있는 주요한 플라보노이드이고, 항산화제 역할을 한다. 양파에 있는 퀘세틴은 주로 배당체 형태로 존재한다. 흑양파는 습도 90%와 온도 $60^{\circ}C$ 조건 하에서 30일 동안의 숙성처리과정으로 만들어진다. 흑양파 제조과정 전후의 양파 속에 있는 퀘세틴과 퀘세틴 배당체들은 HPLC-ESI/MS/MS를 이용하여 분석되었다. 생양파 속에는 퀘세틴 단당체와 퀘세틴 이당체가 동정되었고, 반면에 흑양파 속에는 퀘세틴만이 존재하였다. 그러한 결과들은 생양파에 있는 퀘세틴 배당체(단당체와 이당체)들은 숙성과정 동안 해당과정이 일어난다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 분석프로파일은 숙성과정 동안 발생되는 양파의 주요한 두 개의 퀘세틴 배당체들의 변화를 추정하는데 용이한 방법을 제공할 것이다.

유전학적으로 밝혀지지 않은 생물학적 연구에 있어서 작은 분자량의 아미노산 또는 홀몬과 같은 대사체들은 그 변화와 여러 생물학적 데이타와 결합 되어 직접적인 생화학적 의미 해석을 가능하게 한다. 미량의 생체 시료에 존재하는 아미노산을 분석하기 위해서 HPLC/FLD를 사용하였으며, 감도가 우수하고 반응시간이 빠른 유도체화 방법인 OPA/3-MPA로 형광 유도체화 하여 세포 배지를 바탕시료로 하여 아미노산을 분석하였다. 유도체화물의 시간에 대한 불안정성을 개선하기 위하여 다 단계의 injector program을 사용하여 유도체화 반응 후 시료 주입시간을 일정하게 조절하여 유도체화 과정 중 발생할 수 있는 불순물 제거 및 정량성을 개선하였다. 19종 아미노산의 표준 검정 곡선은 0.5 - 100.0 ppb의 범위에서 $r^2=0.99$ 이상의 직선성을 나타냈으며, 검출 한계는 1.70 pmol(GLU) - 23.81 pmol(SER) 범위로 측정되었다. 이를 통해 다량의 세포를 대상으로 하는 대사 프로필을 위해 감도가 우수하고 안정적으로 정량할 수 있는 분석법을 설정하였다.

Selection of specific medicinal sources as well as bioactive compounds is important for the preparation of medicine and related products with good quality. It is necessary to pay close attention for choosing correct medicinal sources, particularly in case of medicinal plants, because of their diversity, which can affect the quality and efficacy of medicine. Discrimination of plants based on morphological or genetic characteristics has been used as a conventional classification method of pharmaceutical sources so far; however, more need demands more general methods for accurate quality assessment of medicinal plants. In this study, ultra performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF MS) technique applied to this metabolic profiling is a powerful tool due to its higher sensitivity, resolution, and speed compared to conventional HPLC technique. The metabolite profiling of several medicinal plants including Panax ginseng was carried out using UPLC/Q-TOF MS and total metabolites were then subsequently applied to various statistical tools to compare the patterns. The developed metabolomics tool with UPLC/Q-TOF MS successfully identified and classified the samples tested according to their origins.

Curcuma longa is a plant belonging to the genus Curcuma and is distributed across various Asian regions. This plant is widely known for its rhizomes, which possess a variety of pharmacological properties. However, although the leaves and stems of this plant also contain several health-promoting secondary metabolites, very few studies have characterized these compounds. Therefore, our study sought to quantify the secondary metabolites from the leaves and stems of Curcuma longa L. (LSCL) using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Our LC-ESI-MS analyses detected twenty-one phenolic compounds in the LSCL, among which fifteen compounds were detected via HPLC analysis. Four compounds, namely vanillic acid (0.129 mg/g), p-coumaric acid (0.431 mg/g), 4-methylcatechol (0.199 mg/g), and afzelin (0.074 mg/g) were then quantified. These findings suggest that LSCL is rich in secondary metabolites and holds potential as a valuable resource for the development of functional and nutritional supplements in the future.

Background: Leonurine is a the aerial part of Leonurus japonicus Houttuyn, which has been used as a traditional medicines and is registered in the Korean Pharmacopoeia. Methods and Results: In the present study we performed a heavy metals and thin layer chromatography and measured loss on drying, as well as the contents of total ash, acid-insoluble ash, ethanol soluble compounds, and leonurine, using 15 domestically collected L. japonicus samples. The methods were performed according to the 'crude drugs test of the general test, processes and apparatus', published by MFDS, Korea (2014). The purity test (heavy metals) indicated that levels of Pb and Hg were 0.35 - 3.64, and 0.001 ppm, respectively, whereas the levels of As and Cd were undetectable, and stachydrine was identified by thin layer chromatography ($R_f$ : 0.15). We found that 5.93 - 10.62% (average: $8.58{\pm}1.8%$) of the sample mass was lost during drying, and the contents of total ash, acid-insoluble ash, ethanol soluble compounds, and leonurine were 7.87 - 10.84% (average: $9.62{\pm}0.82%$), 0.99 - 1.76% (average: $1.38{\pm}0.24%$), 16.70 - 23.11% (average: $19.49{\pm}2.14%$) and 0.04 - 0.17% (average: $0.11{\pm}0.04%$) respectively. In addition, HPLC profiling detected leonurine (5.94 min), rutin (16.43 min) and myricetin (26.78 min). Conclusions: We hope that this the rusult of the present study will contribute to the standardization and quality control of Korean herbal medicines.
