Amid global environmental concerns, initiatives to adopt sustainable industrial processes have garnered significant attention in diverse sectors. Efforts have centered on utilizing natural resources as dyeing and functionalizing agents in the textile industry. However, the limited color fastness and functional endurance of natural compounds remains a substantial challenge. This research investigated whether ultrasound could enhance the finishing effect of natural compounds on cotton fabrics. Chestnut shell extract was prepared and applied to cotton fabrics using a pad-dry-cure technique, with concurrent application of ultrasonic power. Once integrated into the fabrics, the chestnut shell extract exhibited prolonged health benefits for users. The findings demonstrated that ultrasound treatment during the finishing process facilitated the diffusion of natural compounds from the chestnut shell extract into the fabric structure, resulting in a substantial enhancement of the finishing effect, notably augmenting the antibacterial properties of the treated cotton fabrics.

Tree-ring types liquid crystalline compounds having fluoro and isothiocyanate substituent[1] were synthesized and their physical properties were measured to evaluate the applications to TFT-LCD TV. All synthesized compounds were showed remarkably high Tni point. Birefringence(${\triangle}n$) and dielectric anisotropy(${\triangle}{\varepsilon}$) were higher than fluoro analogues and isothiocyanate substituted bicyclohexyl-phenyl compounds.

We examined ethanol extracts prepared from the Korean marine algae belonging to the Sargassaceae family for their inhibitory effects on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity and free radicals in vitro. Among five marine algae, the extracts of Sargassum yezoense were found to possess strongly ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition and free radicals scavenging activities. Two compounds were isolated via bioactivity guided isolation and tested for their effects on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, DPPH, $ABTS^{+}$ and $Photochem^{(R)}$ analysis. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and direct comparison with authentic compounds; their structures were identified as sargaquinoic acid (1) and sargahydroquinoic acid (2). The inhibitory effects of compound 1 and 2 ($IC_{50}$ value:14.2 and 12.8 ${\mu}M$, respectively) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were more potent that of deoxynojirimycin as a positive control ($IC_{50}$ value:18.0 ${\mu}M$). All compounds displayed antioxidative activity which was measured by DPPH, $ABTS^{+}$ and $Photochem^{(R)}$ apparatus.

본 연구는 어류 병원균의 비 유전성을 가지는 항생제 내성균인 persister cell에 관한 연구이다. Persister cell은 기존의 항생제를 분해하는 저항균체(resistant cell)와는 다른 특성으로 항생제에 대한 저항성을 가지는데, 항생제가 존재하는 환경에서 새로운 기작으로 항생제에 대한 내성을 형성한다. 그래서 기존의 양식장에서 어류를 키울 때 어류에 투여하는 항생제는 일반적인 균주의 사멸 항생제 농도보다 더 높은 농도의 항생제를 투여하게 된다. 특히, E. tarda에 대한 다양한 항생제가 개발되어 있지만 내성균의 출현으로 그 효과가 좋지 않으며, 또한 persister cell에 의한 질병 재발을 방지하기 위해 균사멸 농도보다 훨씬 높은 농도의 항생제를 처리하고 있다. Persiser cell의 특이적인 저감 효과를 확인 하기 위하여 선별된 3종의 식물 추출물(돌외, 예덕나무, 상산)을 항생제와 함께 사용하였으며, 돌외와 예덕나무가 100 ${\mu}g/ml$, 상산은 200 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 persister cell의 사멸 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 넙치를 이용한 12일간의 누적 폐사율을 조사한 결과, 식물 추출물과 항생제 혼합액의 복강 투여구가 항생제 단독의 복강 투여구 보다 낮은 누적 폐사율이 관찰되었고, 항생제에 첨가한 식물 추출물의 농도가 돌외 30 ${\mu}g/ml$, 예덕나무 10 ${\mu}g/ml$, 상산 10 ${\mu}g/ml$의 농도 투여구에서 가장 낮은 누적 폐사율을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에 사용된 세가지 추출물들(돌외, 예덕나무, 상산)은 항균 활성을 가지지 않은 농도에서 항생제와 병용하여 persister cell의 저감 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer death in the United States and worldwide. About 80~90% of cases are smoking-related and smoking cessation programs are of great importance in reducing lung cancer risk. However, the lifetime risk for lung cancer remains elevated even in ex-smokers. Chemoprevention holds the promise to further reduce this risk and thus to decrease lung cancer incidence and mortality. Over the last decades, most chemoprevention trials for lung cancer have yielded negative outcomes. Population-based studies suggest that high intake of certain foods such as soy, red wine or green vegetables may be associated with decreased cancer risk. Because of these observations and their general safety, a plethora of natural compounds is currently being studied for the chemoprevention of cancer. In this review we discuss promising in vitro and in vivo data of novel natural compounds, their interference with molecular mechanisms responsible for lung cancer development and potential implications for their further preclinical and clinical investigation.

Various natural compounds act as antioxidants in protection against lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation yields a variety of decomposition products which have been implicated in not only decreasing the nutritional value of food, but also in developing an off-flavor and toxic substances. As a source of safer and more effective natural antioxidants of natural origin have been widely investigated. Some Indonesian plants have evaluated for their antioxidative activity, and suggested the possible existence of various antioxygenic compounds in them. We attempted to study such antioxygenic compounds with simple method evaluation. As we are interested in the natural product compounds, we examined of several sample such as edible sea-weeds, and some edible fruits. Sea-weed, Eisenia bicyclis, one of the edible brown algae, exhibited the activity. As a traditional food additive consumed by Indonesian, Garcinia parvifolia is used as taste supplement in region West Sumatra, have been studied. Our current studies on the semi-polar fractions shows the activity by the thiocyanate method test. Another sample, Garcinia mangostana, a famous fruit with sweet taste, the part kernel have also evaluated. The acidic fraction of the extract showed antioxidative activity. Some other active components were found in the neutral and BuOH fractions.

The purification of the MeOH extract from Impatiens basamina by repeated column chromatography led to the isolation of one new tetrahydronaphthalene (1), together with eleven known compounds (2 - 12). The structure of the new compound (1) was determined by spectral data analysis ($^1H$ and $^{13}C$-NMR, $^1H-^1H$ COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY, and HR-ESI-MS). Isolated compounds (1 - 12) were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS-activated murine microglial BV-2 cells and their effects on NGF secretion from C6 glioma cells. Compounds 3, 7, and 10 reduced NO levels in LPS-activated murine microglial cells with $IC_{50}$ values of 26.89, 25.59, and $44.21{\mu}M$, respectively. Compounds 1, 5, and 9 upregulated NGF secretion to $153.09{\pm}4.66$, $156.88{\pm}8.86$, and $157.34{\pm}3.30%$, respectively.

Background: Breast cancer is the serious health concern in India causing the highest mortality rate in females, which occurs due to uncontrolled cell division and can be metastasize to other parts of the human body. Interactions with estrogen receptor (ER) alpha are mainly responsible for the malignant tumors with regulation of the transcription of various genes as a transcription factor. Most of the drugs currently used for the breast cancer treatment produce various side effects and hence we focused on natural compounds which do not exhibit any toxic effect against normal human cells. Materials and Methods: Structure of human ER was retrieved from the Protein Data Bank and the structures of flavonoid compounds have been collected from PubChem database. Molecular docking and drug likeness studies were performed for those natural compounds to evaluate and analyze the anti-breast cancer activity. Results: Finally two compounds satisfying the Lipinski's rule of five were reported. The two compounds also exhibited highest binding affinity with human ER greater than 10.5 Kcal/mol. Conclusions: The results of this study can be implemented in the drug designing pipeline.

$Dumebuchu$ ($Allium$ $senescens$ L. var. $senescens$) has a peculiar and long-lasting odor that resembles the flavor of garlic and onions. This study was conducted to examine the volatile compounds of essential oils extracted from $dumebuchu$. The essential oils of $dumebuchu$ were extracted by hydrodistillation using a clavenger-type apparatus and analyzed by GC-MS. A total of 25 compounds were identified in the essential oils from $dumebuchu$. Among sulfur-containing compounds, 4 disulfides and 3 trisulfides were identified. The most abundant sulfur-containing compound was 5-dimethylthiophene (peak area 41.15%) and the second and the third most abundant compound were dipropyl disulfide (18.91%) and propyl allyl disulfide (12.23%), respectively.
