Two lignanes, Comp.-I, mp 108-1$0^{\circ}C$ and Comp.-II 50-52$^{\circ}$were isolated from Korea ginseng extract by repeated column chromatographic purification. Comp.-I was identified as gomisin-N and Comp.-II as gomisin-A by spectrometric analysis, both of which have already been described as the anti-hepatotoxic lignan components of Schizandra chinesis Bail.

The single treatment of mice with steam distillate, non-volatile ether extract and methanol extract from mace (Arils of Myristica fragrans) caused a significant prolongation of hexobarbital-induced narcosis and increase in strychnine toxicity as well as a significant decrease in hepatic microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme activities. On 7 consecutive daily administrations, however, the duration of hypnosis was markedly shortened and significant increases in the hepatic enzyme activities were shown. With systematic fractionation by $SiO_2$ column chromatography of non-volatile ether fraction monitoring by animal tests a new lignan (mp $70{\sim}72^{\circ}$, MW 328, $[{\alpha}]^{20}_D+5.28$) was isolated as an active principle and its structure was elucidated as (2R, 3S)-1-(3,4-methylendioxyphenyl)-2,3 dimethyl-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) butane.

The chemical constituents of root bark of Acanthopanax sessiliflorum Seemann(Araliaceae) which is distributed in southern region of Korea are studied. The five kinds of chemical constituents are isolated from MeOH extract of root bark by column fractionation and purified by recrystallization. Substance $I{\sim}III$ were identified as stigmasterol, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ and campesterol. Substance IV is suggested as a lignan substance based on chemical and spectral discussions. The molecular formula of substance $V\;show\;C_{20}H_{18}O_6$ and its melting point is $120.5{\sim}121.5^{\circ}$. Due to the spectral data, it is confirmed that substance V is a (+) sesamin of lignan.

The methanolic extract from the seeds of Arctium lappa was found to inhibit the LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. Bioassay-guided fractionation of a methylene chloride soluble fraction led to the isolation of three lignan compounds, arctiin (1), arctigenin (2), and lappaol B (3). Their structures were elucidated by UV, IR, MS, and NMR data, as well as by comparison with those of the literatures. Arctigenin (2) and lappaol B (3) had an iNOS inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 12.5 and $25.9\;{\mu}M$, respectively.

Pancreatic lipase digests dietary fats by hydrolysis, which is a key enzyme for lipid absorption. Therefore, reduction of fat absorption by the inhibition of pancreatic lipase is suggested to be a therapeutic strategy for obesity. We previously reported coumarins and secoiridoids of Fraxinus rhynchophylla as inhibitory constituents on adipocyte differentiation. Further investigation on F. rhynchophylla led to the isolation of lignan derivatives such as lignans (1 - 10), sesquilignans (11 - 14) and coumarinolignans (15 - 17). Among them, coumarinolignans and sesquilignans were first reported from Fraxinus species. Among the constituents isolated, sesquilignans showed the significant inhibition on pancreatic lipase, whereas lignans and coumarinolignans exerted weak effects.

Two lupane-type triterpenes, lupenone (1) and lupeol (2), a phytosterol, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (3), two ursane-type triterpenes, $3{\beta}-acetoxy$ ursolic acid (4) and ursolic acid (5), a lignan, (-)-lyoniresinol $3a-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (6), and two flavanol glycosides, $catechin-7-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (7) and $catechin-7-O-{\beta}-D-apiofuranoside$ (8) were isolated from the stem bark of Sorbus commixta (Rosaceae). Their chemical structures were identified by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods.

Five compounds of iridoids, lignan and phenylpropanoid glycosides were isolated from the roots of Valeriana jatamansi by column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated as 11-methoxyviburtinal (1), baldrinal (2), prinsepiol-4-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (3), coniferin (4), and hexacosanic acid (5) by spectroscopic analysis. 11-Methoxyviburtinal was a new compound, and others were isolated from the plant for the first time.

A new lignan named as hibiscuside, (+) pinoresinol 4-O-[-glucopyranosyl (12) -rhamnoside] (1), and a known lignan, syringaresinol (2) were isolated from the root bark of Hibiscus syriacus together with two feruloyltyramines (3,4) and three known isoflavonoids (5,6,7). The structures of these compounds have been established on the basis of their NMR, Mass, UV spectra. Among these phenolic compounds,6-O-acetyl daidzin (5), 6-O- acetyl genistin (6), and 3-hydroxy daidzein (7) with IC50 values of 8.2, 10.6, and 4.1 M, respectively, significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes Hibiscuside (1), E and Z-N-feruloyl tyramines (3,4) exhibited moderate antioxidant activity.

Chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract from the stems and rhizomes of Sinomemium acutum led to the isolation of nine alkaloids and a lignan. Their structures were determined to be dauriporphine (1), bianfugecine (2), dauriporphinoline (3), menisporphine (4), (-)-syringaresinol (5), N-feruloyltyramine (6), acutumine (7), dauricumine (8), sinomenine (9), and magnoflorine (10) by spectroscopic means. These compounds were examined for their P-gp mediated MDR reversal activity in human cancer cells. Compound 1 showed the most potent P-gp MDR inhibition activity with an $ED_{50}$ value $0.03\;{\mu}g/mL$ and $0.00010\;{\mu}g/mL$ in the MESSA/DX5 and HCT15 cells, respectively.
