Two phenolic amides were isolated from the stem of Cocculus diversifolius (Menispermaceae) and identified as N-trans-feruloyl tyramine and N-trans-feruloyl 3-methyldopamine by spectroscopic methods.

A new phenolic amide, dihydro-N-caffeoyltyramine (1) was isolated from the root bark of Lycium chinense Miller, along with known compounds, trans-N-caffeoyltyramine (2), cis-N-caffeoyltyramine (3), and lyoniresinol $3{\alpha}-Ο-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (4). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis. A NBT superoxide scavenging assay revealed that three phenolic amides showed potent antioxidative activity.

Five compounds were isolated from the stem of Zea mays. Based on spectral data, they were identified as 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1), N-trans-p-coumaryl tyramine (2), N-trans-ferulyl tryptamine (3), N-(p-coumaryl) serotonine (4), and N-(p-coumaryl)-tryptamine (5). All isolates were evaluated in vitro for their inhibitory activity on acetylcholinesterase. Among tested compounds, compounds 2 - 5 exhibited acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, with $IC_{50}$ values of 125, 60.4, 183.5 and 53.3 ${\mu}M$, respectively. Compound 1 did not show acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity in the present study.
