Over twelve alkaloids were delected in the roots of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyor. Among them three alkaloids were isolated and were identified as $N_{9}$-formylharman, ethyl $\beta$-carboline-1-carboxylate and perlolyrine on the basis of spectroscopic studies.

$N_{9}$-Formylharman, 1-carbomethoxy-$\beta$-carboline and perlolyrine with an unidentified alkaloid ($C_{10}H_{13}NO_{2}$, $M^{+}$ 179.094) have been isolated from the fruits of Lycium chinense Miller (Solanaceae) and characterized on the basis of chemical and physical evidence.

Over twelve alkaloids were detected in the ether-soluble alkaloid fraction of Panax ginseng roots. Among them, three alkaloids were identified as N9-formylharman, ethyl $\beta$-carboline-1-carboxylate and perlolyrine on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic studies. And also spinacine was isolated from the water-soluble fraction of the roots.

The alkaloid components in the root of Codonopsis lanceolata were studied. From the ether soluble alkaloid fraction, four $\beta$-carboline alkaloids were isolated in crystalline state by chromatographic purification process; comp. I mp $178^{\circ}$, isolated yield 4.5$\times$$10^{-5}%$, comp. II mp $166^{\circ}$, 6.0$\times$$10^{-5}%$, comp. III mp $164^{\circ}$, 1.8$\times$$10^{-4}%$ and comp. IV mp $197^{\circ}$, 3.5$\times$$10^{-5}%$. They were identified by spectral analysis and by total synthesis as being a new component $N_9$-formylharman, and already known components in other plant 1-carbomethoxy-$\beta$-carboline, perlolyrine and norharman.

A new $\beta$-carboline alkaloid, 1-carbobutoxy-$\beta$-carboline as well as $N_{9}$ -formylharman, 1-carboethoxy-$\beta$-carboline, 1-carbomethoxy-$\beta$- carboline, perloyrine, harman and norharman were isolated from the rhizoma of Polygala tenuifolia Willdenow. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic studies and chemical evidence.

${\beta}$-Carboline alkaloids of Polygala tenuifolia (Polygalaceae), an expectorant, tonic and sedative drude drug, were determined by HPLC. The alkaloids were separated by RP-18 column with gradient elution of 0.01M potassium phosphate buffer(pH=3.5) and acetonitrile and detected at UV 254nm. Two methods for the preparation of alkaloid fraction were compared. One was solvent extraction method using acid and base, and the other was solid phase extraction with ion exchange resin (Amberlyst 15). A more refined HPLC chromatogram was obtained using the solid phase extraction method. The alkaloidal contents in P. tenuifolia determined by this method were : harman $2.8{\times}10^{-3}%$, norharman $1.7{\times}10^{-3}%$, 1-carbomethoxy-${\beta}$-carboline $1.3{\times}10^{-3}%$, 1-carboethoxy-${\beta}$-carboline $1.4{\times}10^{-3}%$ and perlolyrine $3.3{\times}10^{-3}%$, respectively.
