In order to explore the brassinosteroid-active component in Perilla frutescense, methanol extract of immature seeds was purified by sequences of solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, charcoal adsorption chromatography and Bondesil chromatography. The activity of brassinosteroid was monitored by the rice inclination test and its presence could be confirmed in each purification step. The purified active components were seperated by silica gel adsorption chromatography. The seperated main and minor active brassinosteroid fractions were identified as castasterone and homobrassinolide, respectively, by HPLC. We acknowledge that our work is probably the first report of endogenous brassinosteroid in Perilla frutescense. The content of brassinosteroid in Perilla frutescense as converted into brassinolide was $0.5{\sim}0.8\;ng/g$ fresh weight.

This study was carried out to enhance the analytical methods of phenolic compounds in mainstream cigarette smoke using high efficiency column and RRLC(Rapid Resolution Liquid Chromatography) system, and to compare these methods. RRLC system offers significantly faster results with higher data quality of phenolic compounds than conventional HPLC, but it is disadvantage that it is expensive. On the other hand, the method using monolithic column offers faster results by the use of conventional HPLC system without new equipment introduction. In this study, we used the linear type smoking machine and Health Canada method for pre-treatment process of phenolic compounds. The analysis time of phenolic compounds using RRLC and monolithic column was individually 8 and 15 minutes, whereas in the conventional HPLC it was 45 minutes. These new methods were accompanied with the minimal solvent consumption and had lower analysis costs. Also, we proved that there were no difference between new methods and conventional method in accuracy by statistic.

The different methods such as HPLC, indirect- and direct-ELISA were employed for the analysis of microtoxins and the results of each method were compared in terms of the detection limit and accurary. Three toxins, microcystin-RR, -LR and -YR were clearly separated by HPLC using 0.05 M methanol and phosphate buffer used as a solvent system. The calibration curves for the toxins were linear in the range of 5 ng to 50 ng. The standard curves for the immunoassay of microcystin obtained by direct and indirect ELISA are compared. The linear responses of inhibitions of binding by microcystin in the direct and indirect competitive ELISA were in the range of 10 ng to 1000 ng and 50 pg to 160 pg, respectively. Distribution of microtoxins at 11 sites in the Nakdong river and several lakes in Korea was also studied. The most dominant microcystin variant in the test sites was found to be microcystin-RR.

Berberine, palmatine, and Phellodendron bark dye was prepared in methanol for HPLC-DAD-MS analysis of liquid dye. Silk was dyed using berberine, palmatine, and Phellodendron bark dye prepared in water. The dye was extracted from the dyed silk using the HCl/methanol/water (2:1:1 v/v/v) solvent system with a slight modification. The liquid dyes and the dye extracted from the silk samples dyed with the three dye sources were examined using the HPLC-DAD-MS analysis to simultaneously detect berberine and palmatine from the plant dye and the dyeings. Colorimetric measurement was carried out using a spectrophotometer to examine the color and the intensities of berberine, palmatine, and Phellodendron bark dyed silk samples. From the liquid dyes, berberine eluted at 5.21 min with the molecular cation m/z=336 and the UV spectrum confirming that the product was berberine. Palmatine eluted at 5.12 min with the molecular cation m/z=352 and the UV spectrum confirming that the product was palmatine. From the silk dyed with berberine and palmatine dye, berberine and palmatine species eluted at 5.35 min and 5.24 min, respectively. From the silk dyed with Phellodendron bark, berberine and palmatine were detected simultaneously at 5.35 min and 5.26 min, respectively. All three dyes had yellow hue while palmatine dyed silk showed the highest hue and chroma. Palmatine dyed silk showed the highest K/S value that indicated the strongest color intensity and the highest dye uptake.

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the simultaneous determination of three antibacterial flavonoids, artocarpanone, artocarpin, and cycloartocarpin in ethyl acetate extracts from Artocarpus heterophyllus heartwoods. Separation was achieved using a TSK-gel ODS-80Tm column ($5{\mu}m$, $4.6{\times}150mm$) at $25^{\circ}C$ with a gradient elution system of methanol and water as follows: 0-8 min, 60:40; 8-27 min, 80:20; 27-35 min, 60:40, v/v, at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and a quantitative UV detection at 285 nm. The method was validated by measuring the key parameters, including specificity, linearity, sensitivity, accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility. A high degree of specificity and sensitivity was achieved. The calibration curves for all three flavonoids showed good linearity with a coefficient of determinations ($R^2$) of ${\geq}0.9995$. The recoveries of the method were from 98-104%, with good reproducibility and repeatability (RSD values of less than 2%) were also achieved. Ethyl acetate was the best solvent for extraction of these three flavonoids using the heat reflux conditions for 1 h. This optimized sample preparation and HPLC method can be practically used for a routine standardization process of the extracts from the A. heterophyllus heartwoods.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the fruits of Ligustrum japonicum. The crude extract was successively fractionated into n-hexane, 85% aqueous methanol (85% aq.MeOH), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water fractions by means of solvent polarity. The crude extract and its solvent fractions were evaluated for their antioxidant effect by four different assay systems: scavenging power on peroxynitrite and intralcellular ROS produced in HT-1080 cells; DNA oxidation inhibition; ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The n-BuOH fraction exhibiting potent antioxidant activity was further purified by C18 silica gel column chromatography and RP-HPLC to give tyrosol (1) and salidroside (2). The structure of isolated compounds was determined by extensive 2 D NMR experiments such as $^1H$ COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC as well as by comparison with the published spectral data.
