A new diterpene, mp $178{\sim}180^{\circ}$, $C_{21}H_{28}O_5$, was isolated from the root of Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze in the family of Labiatae. The structure of this compound was postulated as $19(4{\rightarrow}3)-abeo-12,14,15-trihydroxy-11-methoxy-abiet-4(18)$, 8,11,13-tetraen-7-one by spectroscopic methods.

The carpophores of Mycroporus affinis (Blume et Nees) Kuntze which grows wildly in Korea were collected in the Gyeong Gi Province and extracted with chloroform and methanol. Two compounds were isolated from the extract and one of these compounds was identified as ergosterol by T.L.C., G.L.C. and chemical tests.

Background: In Korea, Agastache rugosa (Fisch. & C. A. Mey.) O. Kuntze is one of the well-known perennial plants belonging to Lamiaceae. This mint-fragranced plant has long been used for the treatment of abdominal pain, congestion, chills, and diarrhea since the Goryeo Dynasty. Although this plant has various medicinal properties, it is only used as a spice and for landscape purposes. Methods and Results: The objective of this paper was to review the chemical composition and biological properties of the essential oil of A. rugosa. Several studies reported that the essential oil contains more than 60 different chemical components of monoterpene and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons. The major component is methyl chavicol (estragole), accounting for 64% - 88% of the oil. The chemical composition of this essential oil vaired widely according to the planting time, environmental conditions, planting distance, fertilizer application, and harvesting time. Conclusions: The essential oil of A. rugosa possesses various pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral, nematicidal, antifungal, insecticidal, wrinkle improver, stress reliever, and Alzheimer's disease alleviator. Hence, the essential oil from A. rugosa could be used for the development of high value-added industrial products in the near future.

Chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, regarded as a major cause of extrinsic aging or photoaging characterized by wrinkle formation and skin dehydration, exerts adverse effects on skin by causing the overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Agastache rugosa Kuntze, known as Korean mint, possesses a wide spectrum of biological properties including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-atherosclerosis. Previous studies have reported that A. rugosa protected human keratinocytes against UVB irradiation by restoring the anti-oxidant defense system. However, the anti-photoaging effect of A. rugosa extract (ARE) in animal models has not yet been evaluated. ARE was orally administered to hairless mice at doses of 100 or 250 mg/kg/day along with UVB exposure for 12 weeks. ARE histologically improved UVB-induced wrinkle formation, epidermal thickening, erythema, and hyperpigmentation. In addition, ARE recovered skin moisture by improving skin hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Along with this, ARE increased hyaluronic acid levels by upregulating HA synthase genes. ARE markedly increased the density of collagen and the amounts of hydroxypoline via two pathways. First, ARE significantly downregulated the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases responsible for collagen degradation by inactivating the mitogen-activated protein kinase/activator protein 1 pathway. Second, ARE stimulated the transforming growth factor beta/Smad signaling, consequently raising the mRNA levels of collagen-related genes. In addition, ARE not only increased the mRNA expression of anti-oxidant enzymes but also decreased inflammatory cytokines by blocking the protein expression of nuclear factor kappa B. Collectively, our findings suggest that A. rugosa may be a potential preventive and therapeutic agent for photoaging.

The experiment was carried out to study the influence of seeding dates, planting densities and fertilizer application levels on some agronmic characters and yield of fresh weight in Agastache rugosa. The results obtained are summarized as follow; Fresh weight was increased on Apr. 1 seeding date. Therefore, optimum time for sowing was on Apr. 1. Stem length was long in dense planting and short in spacious planting. Stem diameter was thick in spacious planting, and was thin in dense planting. Yield was higher in dense planting densities($10{\times}20cm:50\;plants/m^2,\;20{\times}20cm:25\;plants/m^2,\;(30{\times}20cm:17\;plants/m^2$) Fertilizing ($N:P_2O_5;K_2O=6:6:6kg/10a$) was increased than without fertilizing because stem length and number of leaf were good.
