산국의 꽃으로부터 2종의 sesquiterpene lactones을 분리정제하였으며, 각각 Compound I 과 II로 명명하였으며, 이 두 물질을 Sarcoma180에 감염된 ICR mouse에 대하여 항암효과실험을 수행한 결과 Compound I과 II의 투여농도가 10mg/kg일 때 수명 연장효과가 각 각 143%, 134%로 나타났다. 또한 Compound I 과 II 를 1mg/kg 씩을 섞어서 투여하였을 때에 158%의 수명 연장효과가 나타났다

Hymenoxys brachyactis지상부의 디클로로메탄 추출액으로부터 3개의 sesquiterpene lactone들과 새로운 lactone화합물인 isohymenograndin을 확인하였다. 그리고 2개의 sesquiterpene lactone축합물인 biennine C와 독성이 있는 것으로 알려진 flavone화합물인 hispidulin을 분리하여 각각을 고자장 NMR, Mass등의 기기를 이용하여 구조결정 하였다. Biennine C는 gas chromatography와 Mass분석을 통하여 독성화합물 hymenoxon과 화합물 8과의 Diels-Alder축합물임을 확인하였다. biennine C를 포함한 이상의 lactone화합물들은 ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated lactone으로서 독성화합물군으로서 알려진 hymenovin과 공통적인 구조를 갖고 있어서 생체독성을 나타낼 가능성이 높은 화합물들로 사료된다.

Transmembrane protein TMEM16A, which encodes calcium-activated chloride channel has been implicated in tumorigenesis. Overexpression of TMEM16A is associated with poor prognosis and low overall survival in multiple cancers including lung adenocarcinoma, making it a promising biomarker and therapeutic target. In this study, three structure-related sesquiterpene lactones (mecheliolide, costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone) were extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Aucklandiae Radix and identified as novel TMEM16A inhibitors with comparable inhibitory effects. Their effects on the proliferation and migration of lung adenocarcinoma cells were examined. Whole-cell patch clamp experiments showed that these sesquiterpene lactones potently inhibited recombinant TMEM16A currents in a concentration-dependent manner. The half-maximal concentration (IC50) values for three tested sesquiterpene lactones were 29.9 ± 1.1 µM, 19.7 ± 0.4 µM, and 24.5 ± 2.1 µM, while the maximal effect (E_max) values were 100.0% ± 2.8%, 85.8% ± 0.9%, and 88.3% ± 4.6%, respectively. These sesquiterpene lactones also significantly inhibited the endogenous TMEM16A currents and proliferation, and migration of LA795 lung cancer cells. These results demonstrate that mecheliolide, costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone are novel TMEM16A inhibitors and potential candidates for lung adenocarcinoma therapy.

Microbial lactonohydrolases (intramolecular ester bond-hydrolyzing enzymes) with unique properties were found. The lactonohydrolase from Fusarium oxysporum catalyzes enantiose-lective hydrolysis of aldonate lactones and D-pantoyl lactone (D-PL). This enzyme is useful for the large-scale optical resolution of racemic PL. The Agrobacterium tumefaciens enzyme catalyzes asymmetric hydrolysis of PL, but the stereospecificity is opposite to that of the Fusarium enzyme. Dihydrocoumarin hydrolase (DHase) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is a bifunctional enzyme, which catalyzes not only hydrolysis of aromatic lactones but also bromination of monochlorodi-medon in the presence of H$_2$O$_2$and dihydrocoumarin. DHase also hydrolyzes several linear esters, and is useful for enantioselective hydrolysis of methyl DL-$\beta$-acetylthioisobutyrate and regioselective hydrolysis of methyl cetraxate.

Bis-${\gamma}$-lactones (1,2) having a perhydrofuro[3,4-c]furan-1,4-dione skeleton were designed as conformationally constrained diacylglycerol analogues. They were synthesized from D-apiose in 11 steps, and evaluated as $PKC-{\alpha}$ ligands by measuring their ability to displace bound $^3H$]PDBU from the enzyme. The compounds showed moderate binding affinities with $K_i$ values of 13.89 (${\pm}5.67$) ${\mu}M$ and 11.47 (${\pm}0.89$) ${\mu}M$, respectively. Their similar binding affinities indicate that these two bicyclic compounds were not effectively discriminated by $PKC-{\alpha}$ in terms of the direction of the side chain as other ligands built on similar bis-${\gamma}$-lactones.

Nine sesquiterpene lactones, which were isolated from Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge. Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich var. latilobum Kitamura and Chrysanthemum boreale Makino were evaluated for the farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) inhibitor, conducted by the scintillation proximity assay (SPA). The angeloylcumambrin B and tigloylcumambrin B inhibited a recombinant rat FPTase with $IC_{50}$ value of $78\;{\mu}g/ml$ $(225\;{\mu}M)$ and $90\;{\mu}g/ml$ $(260 \;{\mu}M)$, respectively.

Three known sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the n-BuOH traction of the roots of Ixeris sonchifolia. Their structures were identified as macrocliniside A (1), glucozaluzanin C (2), and ixerin H (3), by spectral analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 are guaiane-type, while compound 3 is a germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactone. Compounds 1-3 are first isolated from I. sonchifolia.

Seven sesquiterpene lactones were isolated by the chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract of the aerial parts of Saussurea calcicola (Compositae). Their structures were determined spectroscopically to be cynaropicrin (1), arguerin B (2), cebellin F (3), 8${\alpha}$-hydroxy-11${\alpha}$, 13-dihydrozaluzanin C (4), desacylcynaropicrin (5), 3${\beta}$-hydroxy-8${\alpha}$-epoxymethylacriloiloxy-4(15), 10(14), 11(13)-trien-guaian-6, 12-olide (6), and kandavanolide (7). Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant cytotoxicity against five cultured human tumor cell lines with $ED_{50}$ values ranging from $0.23{\~}1.72\;{\mu}g/mL$.
