It has been known that Magnolia officinalis, Magnolia and Machilus Barks are reputed to be effective in 'Hagi', 'Sanman' and to be analgesic but there was differences of efficacy of these crude drugs against the kinds and habitates. For this reason, this study was conducted to compare the acute toxicities, analgesic effects and motilities of isolated intestine. This results obtained in this work were summarized as follow: 1. In the test of acute toxicies, Machilus bark was found to be more toxic than the others. 2. Both these was found to have analgesic effect. 3. In the effects against the motility of isolated intestine, Magnolia officinalis and Magnolia barks were found to be relaxant, Machilus bark was found to be contractive. From these results, Magnolia officinalis and Magnolia barks might have analgesic effect and relaxant effect of intestine.

The three new lignans 1-3 were isolated from the methanol extracts of the flower buds of Magnolia fargesii. They were elucidated as (7S,8R)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-O-(2-methoxy-4-omegahydroxypropylphenyl) propane-1,3-diol, (7S,8S)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-O-(6-hydroxy-2-methoxy-4-omegahydroxypropylphenyl) propane-1,3-diol, and [tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)furan-3-yl]methyl 3,4-dimethoxy benzoate by spectral analysis.

The powdery mildew found on Magnolia kobus was recorded as Microsphaera alni for the first time in Korea in 1975. After splitting M. alni into several distinct species, this mildew was regarded as Microsphaera magnifica, now Erysiphe magnifica. Since E. magnifica is known to be a North American species, the powdery mildew found on M. kobus in Korea was studied to clarify its identity. Based on morphological characteristics and sequencing results of the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit rDNA gene, the powdery mildew found on M. kobus in Korea was identified as Erysiphe magnoliicola.

Natural Omija belongs to magnoliaceae was known to possess natural odor, taste, color, and various pharmaceutical & chemical characteristics. Omija extraction was extracted using ethanol as a solvent. Omija extract showed a light red-violet color of viscous liquid state. Some conclusions from the result of characteristic experiment were obtained as follows. From the result of antimicrobial experiment, occurrence of staphylococuss aureus and aspergillus niger as microbes was decreased according to the passage of time. This phenomenon could know that Omija component is affected to antimicrobial effect. From the result of dye experiment, fiber dyeing showed with some ivory color after dyed to cotton and silk. This phenomenon could know that Omija component is affected to dyeing effect from observation of scanning electron microscope(SEM). From the result of instrument analysis, inorganic components of K(107.30ppm), Na(2.110ppm), Ca(0.935ppm), Mg(0.891ppm), Li(0.270ppm) etcs from Omija were detected with ICP/OES, and aromatic components of benzene(10.808), a-pinene(13.996), phenol(14.183), ${\beta}$-terpene(15.840), a-terpinolene(17.616) etcs from Omija were also detected with GC/MSD.

A monoterpene-neolignan, piperitylmagnolol (1), was isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia officinalis, together with syringaresinol (2), caffeic acid (3), and sinapaldehyde (4). The isolated compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic and physicochemical analyses including 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques, as well as on comparing the spectral data with those in the literature and of authentic samples. Compounds 1 - 4 were tested for their cytotoxic activity against the HeLa, K562, A549, and HCT116 cancer cell lines in vitro. Of the isolates, piperitylmagnolol (1) exhibited cytotoxic activity against the tested cancer cell lines with $IC_{50}$ values of 7.7 - 9.5 ${\mu}g/ml$.

Three sesquiterpene-lignans, eudeshonokiol B (1), eudesobovatol B (2), and clovanemagnolol (3), were isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia obovata, together with magnolol (4), honokiol (5), and obovatol (6) on the basis of spectroscopic and physicochemical analyses including 2D NMR and Mass. Compounds 1 - 3 were belongs to a unique class of natural products made up of a sesquiterpene and biphenyl-type neolignan via an ether bond. All the isolated compounds were tested in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against the HeLa, A549, and HCTll6 cancer cell lines. Compounds 1 - 6 showed the cytotoxic activity against tested cancer cell lines, with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from 7.1 to 14.4 ${\mu}g/mL$.

We studied the effect of aqueous extract of Magnolia officinalis bark (Magnoliaceae) (MOAE) on the immediate hypersensitivity reaction. MOAE (0.01 to 1g/kg) dose-dependently inhibited compound 48/80 induced systemic anaphylaxis in rats. MOAE (0.1 and 1g/kg) also significantly inhibited local immunoglobulin E (lgE)-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction. When MOAE was pretreated at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1g/kg, the levels of plasma histamine were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. MOAE (0.001 to 1 mg/ml) dose-dependently inhibited the histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) activated by compound 48/80 or anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) Igl. The level of cyclic AMP (CAMP) in RPMC, when MOAE was added, significantly increased compared with that of the normal control. Moreover, MOAE (0.01 to 1 mg/ml) had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP Igl-induced tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ production from RPMC. These results indicate that MOAE inhibits immediate hypersensitivity reaction in vivo and in vitro.

The flower of Magnolia denudata Desrousseaux(Magnoliaceae) has long been used for treatment of nasal disorder in Korea. The physiological activity of the Magnoliae Flos ethanol extract (MFX) was investigated. MFX showed antimicrobial activity. At doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg, MFX showed significant inhibition on both change in paw volume and vascular permeability. MFX (100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited PAR2 agonist-induced myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in paw tissue. These results indicate that MFX has anti-inflammatory activity in PAR2-mediated paw edema.

The aim of the study was to determine the antioxidant activities of the plants with origin of Vietnam. The Manglietia insignis (Wall.) Blume, which is a species of plant in the family Magnoliaceae and Tirpitzia sinensis (Hemsl.) Hallier f., which is a species of plant in the family Linaceae were tested for antioxidant activities. Samples were prepared using 95% ethanol using Nitric Oxide (NO) assay for assessing the anti-inflammatory activity. NO assay experiment showed that extracts of the Manglietia insignis (Wall.) Blume and Tirpitzia sinensis (Hemsl.) Hallier f. might have the 36.2% more anti-inflammatory activity and 59.5% more anti-inflammatory activity, respectively, compared to control. To determine the cell toxicity, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay was used. MTT assay experiment showed that the Manglietia insignis (Wall.) Blume and Tirpitzia sinensis (Hemsl.) Hallier f. might have the 31.0% less toxicity and 8.52% more toxicity, respectively, compared control. Taken together, these experiments showed that Manglietia insignis (Wall.) Blume extracts might have significantly higher anti-inflammatory activities and relatively lower toxicity, compared to control.
