A new guaiane type sesquiterpene was isolated from the fruit of Torilis japonica (Umbelliferae). Based on NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy its structure was confirmed as deangeloyloxy torilin, $1{\beta},{\;}7{\alpha},{\;}10{\alpha}$H-11-acetoxy-guaia-4-en-3-one (1). This is the first report showing that this compound can be isolated from Torilis japonica.

New simple methods for the Isolation of sesquiterpenes from Panax ginseng were developed. First, volatile compounds were isolated by simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE) with 30% methanol and $\alpha$-hexane instead of water and ethyl ether/pentane (1:1). Secondly, head space volatiles in U-shaped tube at 7$0^{\circ}C$ were passed through C18 Sep-Pak by nitrogen gas streaming and the adsorbed volatiles were fluted by $\alpha$-hexane. TLC analysis showed that the volatile concentrates consisted mainly of terpenes when colored by vanillin-sulfuric and. GC/MS data revealed that approximately 30 sesquiterpenes of molecular weight 204 occupied 81.1% or more of the volatile concentrates isolated by those two newly developed methods. Among these, alloaromadendrene, germacrene B, isocaryophyllene, $\alpha$-neoclovene, ${\gamma}$-muurolene, $\beta$-panaslnsene, and $\alpha$-humulene were identified as being major sesqulterpenes by authentic samples or literatme search Key words : Panax ginseng, volatile compound, sesquiterpene, isolation, new method, GC/MS.

Nine sesquiterpene lactones, which were isolated from Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge. Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich var. latilobum Kitamura and Chrysanthemum boreale Makino were evaluated for the farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) inhibitor, conducted by the scintillation proximity assay (SPA). The angeloylcumambrin B and tigloylcumambrin B inhibited a recombinant rat FPTase with $IC_{50}$ value of $78\;{\mu}g/ml$ $(225\;{\mu}M)$ and $90\;{\mu}g/ml$ $(260 \;{\mu}M)$, respectively.

Three known sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the n-BuOH traction of the roots of Ixeris sonchifolia. Their structures were identified as macrocliniside A (1), glucozaluzanin C (2), and ixerin H (3), by spectral analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 are guaiane-type, while compound 3 is a germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactone. Compounds 1-3 are first isolated from I. sonchifolia.

The phytochemical study of the aerial parts of Artemisia sylvatica (Asteraceae) led to the isolation of nine sesquiterpene lactones, l$\alpha$-hydroperoxy-rupicolin A acetate (1), rupicolin B acetate (2), rupicolin A acetate (3), l$\alpha$-hydroxy-4$\alpha$-hydroperoxy-bishopsolicepolide (4), 1$\alpha$-hydroperoxy-4$\beta$-hydroxy-8$\alpha$-acetoxy-guaia-2,9,11 (13)-triene-6$\alpha$,12-oxide (5), 1$\alpha$-hydroperoxy-4$\alpha$-hydroxybishopsolicepolide (6), l$\alpha$,4$\beta$-dihydroxy-8$\alpha$-acetoxy-guaia-2,9,11(13)-triene-6$\alpha$,12-olive (7), rupicolin A (8) and l$\alpha$,4$\alpha$-dihydroxy-bishopsolicepolide (9). Their structures were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods.

The chromatographic separation of a methylene chloride extract of Artemisia rubripes led to the isolation of a new sesquiterpene lactone (3), together with four known compounds, a coumarin (2) and three terpenes (1, 4, and 5). Their structures were characterized to be $1{\beta},6{\alpha}$- dihydroxy-4(15)-eudesmene (1), scopoletin (2), $1{\alpha},4{\beta}-dihydroxy-8{\alpha}$-acetoxy-guaia-2,10(14), 11(13)-triene-6,12-olide (3), $1{\alpha},4{\beta}$ -dihydroxy-8${\alpha}$-acetoxy-guaia-2,9,11(13)-triene-6,12-olide (4), and $\beta$ -sitosterol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glycoside (5) by spectroscopic means.
