  • The inhibitory effect of 10 lignan constituents isolated from the rhizomes of Coptis japonica var. dissects on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage cell line (RAW264.7 cells) has been studied. Among them, pinoresinol, woorenoside-V and lariciresinol glycoside showed significant inhibitory activities in the range from 37% to 55% at the concentration of $25{\mu}g/ml.$ The results are first report that the lignans isolated from Coptis japonica inhibit TNF- ${\alpha}$${\alpha}$

  • Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is probably the most ancient oilseed crop known in the world. Sesame seed is known for its high nutritional value and for having oil (51%) and protein (20%) content. The fatty acid composition of sesame oil is palmitic acid (7.8%), stearic acid (3.6%), oleic acid (45.3%), and linoleic acid (37.7%). Sesame oil is characterized by a very high oxidative stability compared with other vegetable oils. Two lignan-type compounds, sesamin and sesamolin, are the major constituents of sesame oil unsaponifiables. Sesamol (a sesamolin derivative) can be present in sesame seeds and oils in very small amount. Other lignans and sesamol are also present in sesame seeds and oils in very small amount as aglycones. Lipid oxidation activity was significantly lower in the sesamolin-fed rats, which suggests that sesamolin and its metabolites contribute to the antioxidative properties of sesame seeds and oil and support that sesame lignans reduce susceptibility to oxidative stress. Sesaminols strongly inhibit lipid peroxidation related to their ability to scavenge free radical. The sesame seed lignan act synergistically with vitamin I in rats fed a low $\alpha$-tocopherol diet and cause a marked increase in a u-tocopherol concentration in the blood and tissue of rats fed an $\alpha$-tocopherol containing diet with sesame seed or its lignan. The authors are reviewed and discussed for present status and prospects of quality evaluation and researched in sesame seeds to provide and refers the condensed informations on their quality.

  • Linum album accumulates anti-tumor podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and its related lignans, which were originally isolated from an endangered species Podophyllum. In the present study, we examined the effects of five fungal extracts on the production of lignans in L. album cell cultures. Fusarium graminearum extract induced the highest increase of PTOX [$143{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ dry weight (DW) of the L. album cell culture], while Rhizopus stolonifer extract enhanced the accumulation of lariciresinol up to $364{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ DW, instead of PTOX. Typical elicitors, such as chitin, chitosan, or methyl jasmonate (MeJA), were shown to be less effective in lignan production in L. album cell cultures. These results verified the advantages of fungal extracts to increase lignan production in L. album cell culture, and suggested potential on-demand metabolic engineering of lignan biosynthesis using differential fungal extracts.

  • Phytochemical investigation of the sesame dregs of Sesamum indicum was conducted by open column and prep-HPLC chromatography. Two phytosterols (1 and 2) and two lignans (3 and 4) were isolated from the MeOH extracts of sesame dregs, and identified as ${\beta}$-sitosterol (1), daucosterol (2), sesamin (3), and sesamolin (4) by spectral analysis. Although these compounds were already isolated from sesame, it is important that they were still main phytochemical components in the sesame dregs.

  • The bark of Machilus thunbergii was extracted with 80% aqueous methanol (MeOH), and the concentrated extract was partitioned using ethyl acetate (EtOAc), butanol (n-BuOH), and $H_2O$, successively. From the EtOAc fraction, five lignans were isolated through the repeated silica gel, octadecyl silica gel (ODS) and, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectroscopy (MS), and infrared spectroscopy (IR) spectroscopic data, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined to be machilin A (1), machilin F (2), licarin A (3), nectandrin A (4), and nectandrin B, (5). This study presents comparative account of five lignans from M. thunbergii bark contributing inhibition of low density lipoprotein (LDL), ACAT-1, and ACAT-2. Compounds 2-5 showed varied degree of antioxidant activity on LDL with $IC_{50}$ values of 2.1, 11.8, 15.3, and $4.1{\mu}M$. Compounds 1, 2, and 3 showed inhibition activity on ACAT-1 with values $63.4{\pm}6.9%$ ($IC_{50}=66.8{\mu}M$), $53.7{\pm}0.9%$ ($IC_{50}=109.2{\mu}M$), and $78.7{\pm}0.2%$ ($IC_{50}=40.6{\mu}M$), respectively, at a concentration of 50 mg/mL, and on ACAT-2 with values $47.3{\pm}1.5%$ ($IC_{50}=149.7{\mu}M$), $39.2{\pm}0.2%$ ($IC_{50}=165.2{\mu}M$), and $52.1{\pm}1.0%$ ($IC_{50}=131.0{\mu}M$, respectively, at a concentration of 50 mg/mL.

  • 볶음온도$(110^{\circ}C{\sim}230^{\circ}C)$에 따른 항산화성분의 변화를 조사한 결과, $170^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 백색도가 현저하게 감소하였다. 리그난변화에 있어서는 검출된 7종의 lignan들은 $170^{\circ}C$까지의 온도변화에서 일정하게 유지되다가 sesamolin은 $170^{\circ}C$ 이후 급격히 감소되었고, sesamin은 약간 감소경향을 나타내었다. sesamol, unknown1, unknown3은 $170^{\circ}C$ 이후 급격히 증가하였다. 토코페롤 함량변화에 있어서는 ${\gamma}$체만이 검출되었으며, 미가열참깨의 경우 70.59mg%, 온도상승에 따라 $170^{\circ}C$까지는 점차 증가하다가 $190^{\circ}C$이후 급격히 감소하여 $220^{\circ}C$에서는 33.87mg%이었고, $230^{\circ}C$에서는 26.73mg% 이었다. 산화안정성에 있어서는 미가열참깨의 경우 유도기간이 4.12hr로 가장 낮았고, 볶음온도상승에 따라 증가하다가 $170^{\circ}C$ 이후 현저히 증가하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 산화안정성과 백색도의 상관계수는 -0.993, $170^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 산화안정성과 sesamol의 상관계수는 0.934이었다. 따라서, 볶음온도에 따른 이러한 산화안정성의 현저한 증가는 sesamol, unknown1, unknown3 등 리그난의 증가에서 비롯됨을 알수 있었다.

  • Two lignanes, Comp.-I, mp 108-1$0^{\circ}C$ and Comp.-II, mp 50-52$^{\circ}C$ were isolated from Korean ginseng extract by repeated column chromatographic purification. Comp-1 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 lignin components of Schizandra chinensis Bail.
