Twenty-seven medicinal plants were selected on the basis of folkloric reputation for the treatment of hypertension or related deseases. Two solvent fractions were prepared from methanol extract of each plant and tested for their effects on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activities. Six solvent fractions showed more than 50% inhibition and four showed $40{\sim}50%$ inhibition at the conditions tested.

Present anticancer drugs in the clinical side have not showed a conclusive effect of the chemotherapy for cancer patients. In order to find much more efficient antitumor agents fromnatural resources, various screening methods vivo and in vitro have been developed by manyresearchers. The intention of this paper is to provide an outline of some background on the tumorsystem in drug development of natural products, to review some screening programs for theevaluation of antitumor activity and to introduce the practical procedures of some antitumorscreening methods in vivo and in vitro. At the end of this paper, the current literatures related toantitumor natural products from higher plants at our laboratory are described.Key words'anticancer drugs, screening methods.

Aconitum jaluense Komar. (Ranunculaceae) is one of the Aconitum plants growing in Korean peninsula. An investigation of the alkaloidal constituents of this species led to the isolation of seven $C_{19}$-norditerpenoid and a $C_{20}$-diterpenoid alkaloid. Three of them have been identified as neoline, mesaconitine, and hypaconitine, which were isolated from this plant collected from Mt. Bultasan in the north part. The other five alkaloids were determined as lipomesaconitine, lipohypaconitine, 15$\alpha$-hydroxyneoline, hokbusine A, and napelline, which have not been found in this plant. Structures of those alkaloids were determined on the basis of their spectral data. It is of interest to note that a comparison of the present work and the previous report showed some differences in the alkaloidal contents.

Recently, companion animal culture has grown rapidly and mature, raising interest in preventing and treating animal diseases. In particular, viral infection was a serious threat to companion animal health because there was no proper antiviral drugs. Synthetic antiviral drugs have limitations such as low efficiency, toxicity, and occurrence of resistant viruses. Therefore, attempts to find new anti-viral drugs from natural sources have continued. This review focused on the natural products and active substances that exhibit antiviral activity against three viruses: canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV), and feline calicivirus (FCV) that cause fatal diseases in dogs and cats. Natural plant extracts, flavonoids, polysaccharides, alkaloids and saponins showed antiviral activity with various mechanisms and differences in activity depending on the structure. Especially, quercetin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) showed antiviral activity through a multi-mechanism that interferes with the attachment and penetration stages of the virus and inhibits the viral polymerase within the cell. Some natural plant extracts showed a virucidal activity and showed the potential effect as a preventative agent to prevent the viral infection. This review is expected to provide research trend on the development of antiviral natural products for companion animals.

Nine phenolic ($1\~9$) and two furan type (10, 11) compounds, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the tuber of Gastrodia elata Blume (Orchidaceae) in the course of continuing search for platelet anit-aggregating plant components. Compound 1 was identified as 4,4'-dihy-droxybenzyl sulfone, a novel compound for the best of our knowledge. Compound 10, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde, was isolated for the first time from this plant. Compound 1 ($IC_{50};\;83{\mu}M$) was about four times more inhibitory to U46619 induced aggregation than ASA ($IC_{50};\340{\mu}M$). Compound 9, 4,4'-dihydroxy-dibenzylether, ($IC_{50};\;5{\mu}M$, $3{\mu}M\;and\;33{\mu}M$, respectively) was $10\~}80$ fold more potent than ASA ($IC_{50};\;420\;{\mu}M,\;53\;{\mu}M\;and\;340\;{\mu}M$ respectively) to collagen, epinephrine and U46619 induced aggregation, although it is less active than ASA to AA induced aggregation.

Six medicinal plants described in Dong-Ee-Bo-Gam as to be useful for hypertension treatment were evaluated their antihypertensive activity against Okamoto-SHR, an animal model of spontaneous hypertension. Ethanol extracts of plant samples were prepared and were p.o. administered once daily for 20 days. Average blood pressures of rats were measured during two weeks periods before drug administration. Then blood pressure of each rat was measured every three days during drug administration period. As a positive control, propranolol, ${\beta}-blocker$ was used and the blood pressures of test group rats were compared with those of negative and positive control group rats. Among 6 plant extracts, Acanthopanax sessiliflorum and Atractylodes japonica (alba) extracts appeared to exhibit antihypertensive activity.

Six flavonoids were isolated from the leaves of Aralia continentalis. Their structures were characterized as kaempferol, quercetin, 6'-O-acetyl astragalin, astragalin, trifolin and hyperoside by chemical and spectroscopic evidences. This is the first isolation from this plant.

Studies conducted in the past decade related to the use of natural antioxidants in meat products revealed the prevalent use of plant-based antioxidative materials added as powders, extracts, or dried or raw materials to meat products. The amount of antioxidative materials varied from 7.8 ppm to 19.8%. Extracts and powders were used in small amounts (ppm to grams) and large amounts (grams to >1%), respectively. Antioxidative materials used in meat products are mainly composed of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which are able to inhibit lipid peroxidation of meat products, thereby preserving meat quality. However, the main ingredients used in processed meat products are the traditional additives, such as sodium erythorbate, sodium hydrosulfite, and synthetic antioxidants, rather than natural antioxidants. This difference could be attributed to changes in the sensory quality or characteristics of meat products using natural antioxidants. Therefore, novel research paradigms to develop meat products are needed, focusing on the multifunctional aspects of natural antioxidants.

This study was conducted to designing conserved regions of molecules for virus-derived resistance to transgenic Phlaenopsis orchids to protect against two major orchid viruses, Cymbidum mosaic virus (CymMV) and Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV). Infected leaf samples of Phalaenopsis were randomly screened by the RT-PCR with specific primers to both of viruses. RT-PCR products of the viruses were cloned and their nucleotide sequences were determined. Multiple alignments of coat protein (CP) genes of the viruses revealed that over the 88 ％ and 94 ％ identities with CymMV and ORSV, respectively, were observed. These data can be useful for selection of highly conserved regions of CP gene of the viruses for transgenic orchid experiments.

국내에서 시판되고 있는 고추 92품종을 이용하여 국내 시설재배지에서 가장 많이 분포하고 있는 두 종의 뿌리혹선충, Meloidogyne arenaria와 M. incognita에 대한 저항성을 검정하였다. M. arenaria에는 시판 고추 품종 모두가 저항성이었으며(난낭수 0-3/plant), M. incognita에는 모두 감수성이었다(난낭수 76-678/plant). M. incognita에는 모두가 감수성이었으나 품종별로 약간의 차이는 있었는데 거목(동부한농)과 신태풍(명산종묘) 2품종은 난낭이 포기당 100개 이하로 발생되어 불꽃처럼(누넴종묘) 등 29품종의 포기당 난낭수 300개 이상에 비해 상대적으로 적었다. 뿌리혹선충 피해가 심한 시설재배지 중에서, M. arenaria가 감염된 농가에서는 윤작작물로 고추를 심는 것을 적극 추천하고 반면, M. incognita가 감염된 포장에 고추는 윤작작물로 적절하지 않다.
