A series of pyrazoloxyphenyl benzoyl urea derivatives was designed and synthesized for cytotoxic evaluation as potential antitumor agents. The synthetic compounds were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines, including A-549, SKOV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF-498 and HCT-15. Among others, compound 11 exhibited 50∼100 times greater antitumor activities than the commercial product, Cisplatin.

Phytochemical works on the aerial parts of Aster oharai (Compositae) led to the isolation of a new sesquiterpene hydroperoxide, 7$\alpha$-hydroperoxy-3, 11-eudesmadiene (2) and seven known compounds, teucdiol B (1), $\alpha$-spinasterol (3), oleanolic acid (4), $\alpha$-spinasterol 3-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (5), methyl 3,5-di-Ο-caffeoyl quinate (6), 3,5-di-Ο-caffeoylquinic acid (7), 3,4-di-Ο-caffeoylquinic acid (8). The chemical structures of 1-8 were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. Compound 2 showed cytotoxicity against cultured human tumor cell lines in vitro, SK-OV-3 (ovarian), SK-MEL-2 (skin melanoma), and HCT15 (colon) with $ED_{50}$ values ranging from 3.86-17.21 $\mu$g/mL.

Primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes were used to study in vitro cytotoxic effects of T-2 toxin on liver cells. When T-2 toxin was added to the culture, a significant depression of the hormonal induction of ${\alpha}$-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) uptake and tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) activity was observed. However, T-2 toxin did not affect the uptake of ouabain into hepatocytes. Protein synthesis was inhibited by T-2 toxin, but RNA synthesis was not severely affected. The inhibitory effects of T-2 toxin on protein synthesis was diminished rapidly with culture time and the hepatocytes culture maintained control level of protein synthesis within 24 hrs.

To investigate the inhibitory activity of 2-hydroxy-3-amino-4-phenylbutyrate-harboring aminopeptidase N inhibitors, p-nitro-AHPA-peptide derivatives (1 and 2) and an AHPA-peptide derivative (3) were synthesized by chain elongation from C-terminal end using DCC/HOBt as a coupling reagent. The peptides $1{\sim}3$ exerted strong inhibitory activities against aminopeptidase N with $IC_{50}$ values of 1.8, 7.3 and $24.0\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, and cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines in vitro.

Seven compounds, scopoletin (1), p-hydroxyphenethyl trans-ferulate (2), $1-({\alpha}-L-rhamnosyl(1\;{\rightarrow}\;6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzene$ (3), benzyl ${\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1\;{\rightarrow}\;6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (4), suberic acid (5), sebacic acid (6) and scopolin (7) were isolated from the methanol extract of the roots of Althaea rosea Canival. Compounds $1\;{\sim}\;7$ were first isolated from this plant. The isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines using a SRB method in vitro.

EtOAc soluble part of MeOH extract of Anemarrhena asphodeloides rhizome was evaluated for the cytotoxicity against the five kinds of human tumor cell lines (A-549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498 and HCT15) in vitro. Bioassay-guided fractionation of EtOAc soluble part led to the isolation of active compound which was identified as timosaponin A-III showed potent cytotoxic activity, but its genin, sarsasapogenin, did not show cell growth inhibition.

Column chromatographic separation of the alcoholic extract from the roots of Berberis amurensis yielded eight phenolic constituents including six lignans, hanultarin (1), (-)-secoisolariciresinol (3), (+)-lyoniresinol (5), (+)-syringaresinol (6), (+)-syringaresinol-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (7), liriodendrin (8), and two phenylpropanoids, 4-glucosyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl trans-propenoic ethyl ester (2), trans-ferulic acid (4). The structures were determined on the basis of NMR spectroscopic data. All isolated compounds(1-8) were reported for the first time from this source. Compound 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines in vitro using sulforhodamin B bioassay.

Column chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract from the tubers of Bletilla striata yielded seven phenolic components including four phenanthrenes, 3,7-dihydroxy-2,4-dimethoxyphenanthrene (1), 3,7-dihydroxy-2,4,8-trimethoxyphenanthrene (2), 9,10-dihydro-4,7-dimethoxyphenanthrene-2,8-diol (3), and 9,10-dihydro-1-(4'-hydroxybenzyl)-4,7-dimethoxyphenanthrene-2,8-diol (4) and three stilbenes, gigantol (5), 3',4"-dihydroxy-5',3",5"-trimethoxybibenzyl (6), and batatasin III (7). Their structures were determined on the basis of NMR spectroscopic data. Among them, compound 2, 3, and 6 were reported for the first time from this plant. The isolated compounds (1-7) were tested for cytotoxicity against four human tumor cell lines in vitro using a Sulforhodamin B bioassay.

Nine triterpenes were isolated from the petroleum ether and MeOH extract of Perilla frutescens var. acuta leaves. Their structures were determined to be arjunic acid (1), maslinic acid (2), oleanolic acid (3), euscaphic acid (4), tormentic acid (5), 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyltormentic acid (6), 28-formyloxy-$3{\beta}$-hydroxy-urs-12-ene (7), ursolic acid (8), and corosolic acid (9) by spectroscopic methods. The compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 were isolated for the first time from this plant and the Genus Labiatae. The isolated compounds (1-9) were tested for cytotoxicity against four human tumor cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15) in vitro using a Sulforhodamin B bioassay.
