Chemical constituents of fruit peels of Fortunella japonica Swingle were investigated, and ten compounds were purified and isolated through various chromatographic procedures. Through NMR analysis, isolated compounds were identified as ${\alpha}$-tocopherol (1), lupenone (2), ${\beta}$-amyrin (3), ${\alpha}$-amyrin (4), ${\beta}$-sitosterol (5), ${\beta}$-sitosteryl 3-O-glucopyranoside (6), kaempferide 3-O-rhanmopyranoside (7), 3',5'-di-C-${\beta}$-glucopyranosylphloretin (8), acacetin 7-O-neohesperidoside (9), and acacetin 8-C-neohesperidoside (10). Compounds 1-7 were identified for the first time by our group from fruit peels of F. japonica.

The rate of growth and production of bioactive substances from Rehmannia glutinosa Liboschitz (Scrophulariaceae) were studied with the variation on the constituents of the culture media. The best growth was observed from MS basal medium containing 3.0 ppm NAA and 2.0 ppm kinetin. Carbohydrates (fructose, glucose and sucrose), phytosterols(${\beta}-sitosterol$, campesterol and stigmasterol) and carotenoid like substances were identified by GC-MS and TLC from the callus mass. However, catalpol was not detected from both solid and cell suspension cultures containing geraniol. Callus cultured Rehmannia glutinosa in the MS basal medium containing 0.1 ppm NAA and 0.1 ppm kinetin become differentiated to root.

The MLV liposomes have been developed in many drugs and cosmetics fields. The phospholipid base is made from ceramides, cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, lecithin, lanolin ester, and B-sitosterol, and surfactants are made by using (PEG)n-sitosterol(n=5) and K-cetyl phosphate. We made visicles stable by passing samples through Microfludizer and croated multilamellar vesicles to make MLV liposomes similar to the structure of men's skin. In order to make MLV liposomes, we created lipid membrane films which a mixure of phospholipid base and polyol group was reacted above Tc(95$^{\circ}C$) by gelation for 3 hours. As the optimum conditions of Microfluidizer, we figured out 700 bar for the passing pressure of samples, 4$0^{\circ}C$ for its temperature, and 3 times of frequency to pass through samples. Our MLV liposomes is stable on conditions of a low temperature(5$^{\circ}C$) and a high temperature(45$^{\circ}C$), which is not to be split in a large range. We produced our own moisturizing cream which has a good affinity to skin by means of this system.

The photochemical study of Viscum album (Loranthaceae) led to the isolation of twelve compounds, lupeol (1), betulonic acid (2), betulinic acid (3), terminic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), $\beta$-sitosterol (6), $\alpha$- spinasterol (7), oleanolic acid (8) , 5-hydroxy-1- (4′-hydoxyphenyl) -7- (4"-hydroxyphenyl) -hepta-1- en-3-on (9), 2′-hydroxy -4′, 6′- dimethoxychalcone -4-O-glycoside (10) ,2′-hydroxy-4′, 6′-dimethoxychalcone -4-O- [apiosal(1longrightarrow12)]glucoside (11) and syringin (12). Their structures were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. The cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds was evaluated by sulforhodamine B assay against five cultured human tumor cell lines.

Three non-alkaloidal constituents, (-)-loliolide as an iridoid, friedelin as a triterpenoid, and ${\beta}-sitosterol$ as a steroid, were isolated by fractional extraction and silica gel column chromatography from the herb of Commelina communis L. (Commelinaceae). The structures of the native components were elucidated on the basis of physical and spectral (UV, IR, PMR, CMR, and mass spectra) data.

The flowers of Chrysanthemum boreale afforded handelin, a unique guaianolide dimer and a mixture of n-hydrocarbons and n-hydrocarbon alcohols in addition to b-sitosterol and b-sitosterol glucoside. Detailed analysis of the $^{1}H$- and $^{13}C$-NMR spectra of handelin was carried out by the application of two-dimensional $^{1}H-^{1}H$-COSY and $^{1}H$- $^{13}C$ multiple-bond, multiple-quantum spectroscopic correlation techniques. Handelin was inactive in the in vitro anti-tumor activity.

To elucidate the composition of phytosterols in the fruit body of Pholiota spp. 6 species(P. adiposa, P. aurivella, P. highlandensis, P. nameko, P. squarrosa and Pholiota sp.) were analyzed with Gas chromatography(GC). Pholiota spp. were contained campesterol, stigmasterol, and $\beta$-sitosterol as the major phytosterols.

From the dried roots of Caragana chamlagu Lamarck which have been known to be effective against neuralgia, arthritis, migraine, and sputum, etc. in the folk medicines of Korea, a colorless sterol-like substance, C$_{29}H_{50}O$, m.p. $115-117^{\circ}$, was isolated from the non-saponified fraction of methanolic extract. It was confirmed to be a mixture of four sterols, namely cholesterol, brassicasterol, campesterol, and $\beta$-sitosterol by physico-chemical properties, ir, nmr, mass spectra and gas liquid chromatographic method with the comparison of the authentic samples. In mass fragments of four sterols, furthermore, the same ions of m/e 273, 255, 229 and 213 were assigned to fragments of stigmastane skeletons of the unsaturated phytosterol, and the characteristic ions of each sterol were observed 386, 371, 368, 353 in cholesterol, 398, 383, 380, 365, 355, 337 in brassicasterol, 400, 385, 382, 367 in campesterol and 414, 399, 396, 381 in $\beta$-sitosterol, respectively.

"Bija"(Torreya nut), a tree belonging to the Torreyaceae family, is cultivated in Jae Joo Do and Jun Ra Do, Korea. The seed of Torreya nucifera, which has been widely used as folkmedicine in the treatment of tapeworm infestation, was examined on the sterol composition determined by gas liquid chromatography and thin layer chromatography on the preparative plates. Sterols were obtained from the nonsaponifiable matters of ether extract of the seed. It was noted that .betha.-sitosterol was the major sterol in the nut. The results showed that contents of sterols were campesterol 3.15-3.75%, stigmasterol 5.38-5.67%, $\beta$-sitosterol 85.61-86.28% and ${\delta}^{7}$-sterol 4.91-5.19% by gas liquid chromatography.

It is well known that inflammation is associated with neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer' disease, Parkinson's disease and ischemia. Nitric oxide (NO), a pro-inflammatory mediator, is produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in microglia as well as macrophages and appears to account for neurodegeneration. In this study, we aimed to isolate NO inhibitors from Pyrus pyrifolia by activity guided purification. As a result, we identified daucosterol and ${\beta}$-sitosterol, which have not been isolated from this plant before. This article also describes NO inhibitory activities of the methanol extract of Pyrus pyrifolia fruit and the isolated compounds from this, which are lupeol, betulin, betulinic acid, ${\beta}$-sitosterol and daucosterol, in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 and BV2 cell lines. Western blot analysis was performed to clarify the underlying mechanism of NO inhibition in the two cell lines.
