The total ethanol extract of Angelica koreana radix (UmbeUiferae) showed potent inhibitory effect on tumor necrosis factors (TNF-${\alpha}$) production from LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells in screening studies on 118 Korean medicinal plants. The activity-guided fractionation of the total ethanol extract resulted in the isolation of 4 compounds, including active substances. The chemical structures of the compounds isolated were established by chemical and spectrometric analyses as imperatorin, isoimperatorin, osthol and oxypeucedanin. Among them, osthol, oxypeucedariin and isoimperatorin showed significant inhibitory activities on TNF-${\alpha}$ production as 54.3${\pm}$2.1%, 33.6${\pm}$1.0% and 17.7${\pm}$3.0%, respectively, at 12.5${\mu}$g/ml.

To protect skin problems, new natural material alternative to synthetic antioxidants has been extensively selected from natural sources such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. Poncirus trifoliata of those has been widely used as treatment of allergy, chronic inflammatory diseases, and natural antioxidant. In recent days, microbial fermentation to natural products has been reported to increase feasibly their bioavailability. Accordingly, we performed the fermentation using hot water extract of Poncirus trifoliata by isolated Leuconostocs sp. strain JYK and investigated the change of antioxidative activity. Antioxidative material such as hesperidine naringine, imperatorin, and luteolin was found in hot water extract of Poncirus trifoliata. Total phenolics compounds and flavoniods in hot water extract were $71.2{\pm}4.58GAE(mg/g)$ and $25.1{\pm}4.12$ hesperidine(mg/g), respectively. After fermentation, their values were $89.2{\pm}13.47GAE(mg/g)$ and $31.0{\pm}4.06$ hesperidine(mg/g), respectively. After fermentation, ABTS[2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] and DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical were highly enhanced from $70.2{\pm}9.01$ to $86.2{\pm}3.72$ and $18.7{\pm}1.81$ to $26.6{\pm}4.06$, respectively. Thus microbial fermentation offers a tool to further increase the bioactive potential of Poncirus trifoliata.

Substances $I{\sim}VII$ are isolated from the root of Glehnia littoralis which has been often used as a subsitute of Bang-Poong in Korea. White needle crystalline substance of $C_{29}H_{50}O$, m.p. $137{\sim}139^{\circ}C$ was confirmed as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ through elemental analysis, derivative synthesis, IR and physicochemical tests. Moreover, it was concluded that white needle crystal of $C_{12}H_{8}O_{4}$, m.p. $188{\sim}189^{\circ}$ was confirmed as bergapten, through a contrast test with standard substance and by UV and IR-spectra. It was found that substance III and VII coincided with the Rf values of imperatorin and umbelliferone and to its colors under the UV-ray, and its similarity to UV-spectrum can be recognized, but their melting points are remarkedly different respectively.

Angelica flaccida Kom. is a herbal plant growing wild in the marsh of valley in Korea. It has been used for sedative and analgesic as a folk medicine, but its constituents have not been clarified yet. Five known coumarins such as isoimperatorin, decursidin, (-) anomalin, decursin, decursinol and two sterols such as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ and stigmasterol were isolated from the root of this plant, Their structures were identified by the UV, IR, NMR, mass data and the physico-chemical properties.

Silica gel column chromatography on the ether extract from the fruits of Angelica gigas $M_{AKAI}$ gave two kinds of crystalline constituents. The following derivatives of coumarins were identified by IR, NMR spectra, elemental analysis and physico-chemical tests: iso-imperatorin $(mp\;108{\sim}109^{\circ},\;C_{16}H_{14}O_4)$ and decursidin $(mp\;60{\sim}61^{\circ},\;C_{24}H_{26}O_7)$.

Silica gel column chromatography on the ether extract from the fruits of Angelica tenuissima $N_{AKAI}$ gave three kinds of crystalline constituents. The following derivatives of furocoumarins and steroid were identified by UV, IR, NMR spectra, elemental analysis and physico-chemical tests: iso-imperatorin m.p. $108{\sim}109^{\circ}\;C_{16}H_{14}O_4$, prangolarine m.p. $103{\sim}104^{\circ}\;C_{16}H_{14}O_5$, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ m.p. $138{\sim}139^{\circ}\;C_{29}H_{50}O$.

A phenyl propanoid derivative, dillapionall(7) was found to be a antimicrobial principle of the stems of Foeniculum vuigare (Umbelliferae) with MIC values of 125, 250 and 125/ against Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger and Cladosprium cladosporioides respectively. A coumarin derivative, scopoletin(2) was also isolated as marginally antimicrobial agent along with inactive compounds, dillapiol(3), bergapten(4), imperatorin(5) and psolaren(6) from this plant. The isolates 1-6 were not active against the Escherichia coli.

The first study on chemical constituents and biological activities of Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels (Rutaceae) growing in Vietnam has been done. Phytochemical investigation of n-hexane extract led to the isolation of five compounds: dihydroindicolactone (1), 8-geranyloxy psoralen (2), imperatorin (3), heraclenol (4) and indicolactone (5), in which this is the first report on the presence of dihydroindicolactone (1). Their structures were elucidated based on LC/MS/NMR hyphenated techniques as well as comparison with those of literature data. The n-hexane extract and its subfractions, ethanol 95% extract and several isolated compounds were evaluated for antifungal activity.
