Fatty acids and sterols were isolated from petroleum ether extract of seeds of Acanthopanax sessiliflorum Seeman. Fatty acids were obtained from the saponified fraction and sterols from nonsaponified fraction of petroleum ether extract. Fatty acids were identified by gas liquid chromatography, and its composition was myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The composition of sterols were determined by preparative TLC and gas liquid chromatography. It was confirmed to be a mixture of stigmasterol and ${\beta}-sitosterol$. These fatty acids and sterols were not previously reported from seeds of Acanthopanax sessiliflorum Seemann.

To determine the cytotoxic activity of natural compounds, chromatographic separation of the hexanesoluble fraction from the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum led to the isolation of four steroids and one triterpenoid. They were identified as ergosterol peroxide (1), stella sterol (2), ergosterol (3), 9(11)-dehydroergostrol peroxide (4), and ganodermanontriol (5) based on spectroscopic evidence and physicochemical properties. These compounds were examined for their cytotoxic activity against HL-60, MCF-7, and LLC cancer cell lines. Ganodermanontriol (5) showed cytotoxic activity with IC$_{50}$ values of 24.8 and 22.9 $\mu$g/mL against HL-60 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines, respectively, whereas compounds 1 - 4 were inactive.

The lipid compositions of buckwheats produced in Korea were analyzed. The samples used in this experiment were as follows; Kyungbuk rice buckwheat. Kangwon hull buckwheat and Kangwon rice buckwheat. The total lipids were extracted and fractionated to neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids respectively by silicic acid column chromatography (SACC). As a result, neutral lipids content of these three samples were in the range of 82.77-95.65%; glycolipids in 1.97-10.83%; and phospholipids in 2.21-6.40%. The composition of neutral lipids of these three samples showed that triglyceride were in the range of 88.7-92.0%; monoglyceride in 2.3-4.0%; free fatty acid in 3.0-3.7%; diglyceride in 0.7-0.8%.; free sterol in 0-0.7%; and steryl esters in 0-2.2%. The major fatty acids of total lipid, neutral lipid, glycolipids and phospholipids of these three samples were oleic, linoleic and palmitic acids.

Glycyrrhizin, an active constituent of Glycyrrhiza, was chemically extracted and its hypocholesterolemic activities were studied in rats. Following were the results: 1. The Sprague Dowley rats fed with the standard diet were divided into 4 groups, $50{\sim}60$ in each, and glycyrrhizin was given in doses of 0 (control), 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0mg per 100gm body weight daily for 10, 20, 30, and 60 days. Glycyrrhizin showed more or less the hypocholesterolemic activities in all animals. All of the animal groups to which 1. 0mg and 2.0mg of glycyrrhizin were given died before 60 days, while no mortality cases was noted in the group to which 0.5mg of glycyrrhizin was given. 2. Cholesterol administration induced hypercholesterolemia in all experimental animals, however, simultaneous administration of cholesterol with 0.5mg of glycyrrhizin suppressed the rise of the total serum cholesterol levels. The former group did not survive until 56 days, while the latter did. 3. Glycyrrhizin also Suppressed the cholesterol biosynthesis and incorporation of cholesterol in the liver tissues. 4. Glycyrrhizin induced the increase of the fecal excretion of the sterol compounds.

In order to induce production of methylnissolin, sterol biosyntheis inhibitor, in the adventitious root of Astragalus membranaceus the effect of methyl jasmonate(MeJ), a growth regulator of plant, was investigated. After treatment of MeJ (0$\mu\textrm{m}$, 10$\mu\textrm{m}$, 100$\mu\textrm{m}$) to the adventitious root which was harvested in the time interval of 0, 7, 14, 21, 28days and the fresh weight, dry weight and the contents methylnissolin was determined.

We investigated why aspen extractives are more resistant in kraft pulping than pine extractives. Residual extractives content in aspen kraft pulps were 0.5~1.1% compared with 0.1~0.2% in pine pulps. This different response arises from the different composition of extractives in wood chips. Resin acids in pine were almost completely removed in kraft pulping but those are not existence in aspen. Slower saponification of aspen steryl esters resulted from different chemical structure of aspen steryl esters. Main sterols in aspen steryl esters were 24-methyl cyclolanostenol which was highly resistant to alkaline hydrolysis with its characteristic steric hindrance. Sterols in aspen were not well removed in kraft pulping. The relative composition of sterol in aspen kraft pulps was increased with increasing pulping time. The presence of fatty acids in aspen kraft pulps is considered to unusual. Fatty acids in alkaline are supposed to be well ionized and removed well in the washing stage. Nevertheless, there were significant amount of fatty acids remaining in aspen kraft pulps.

From the whole plants of Oldenlandia diffusa ursolic acid together with sterols, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ and its $3-0-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ were isolated and characterized mainly by means of spectroscopic methods. Based on the present findings, it may be considered that this plant may contribute to be a rich source for ursolic acid.

코레스테롤은 대표적 sterol로서 세포막, oganella막 등의 구성 성분인 동시에 담즙 및 각종 hormon, vitamin D의 전구체가 되는 등 생체기능유지에 있어 매우 중요한 물질이다. 이와같은 콜레스테롤은 체내에서 항상성을 유지하도록 조절되고 있으나 지속적인 동물성위주의 식생활로 인하여 체내 콜레스테롤 농도의 평형이 깨어지기 시작했고 콜레스테롤의 과잉축적은 동맥경화증, 심근경색, 허혈성 뇌질환 등과 순환기계질병을 유발하는 원인이 되는 것으로 알려지고 있다. MRFIT(Mutiple Risk Factor Intervention Tria)에서는 콜레스테롤의 함량이 높을수록 심근경색증으로 인한 사망율이 증가하고, 혈장콜레스테롤이 300mg/dl 이면 200mg/dl인 사람보다 위험도가 4배가 높다고 보고하고 이다. 따라서 콜레스테롤의 조절은 건강과 직결되어 있다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 본고에서는 콜레스테롤의 주요기능을 살펴보고 혈중 콜레스테롤의 저하에 도움이 되는 소재 및 최근 주목받고 있는 동물성 식이섬유인 chitosan의 콜레스테롤의 저하기능을 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다.

A mixture of acylglucosyl sterols together with ${\beta}-sitosterol$, ${\beta}-sitosterol\;3{\beta}-O-glucoside$ and fatty acids was isolated from the roots of Caragana chamlagu as their acetate forms and the structure elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic means. The major acylglucosyl sterol was ${\beta}-sitosteryl\;3-O-[6'-O-oleoyl]-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ while the minor components were $6'-O-palmitoyl-\;and\;6'-O-stearoyl-{\beta}-D-glucosyl$ sitosterol congeners. The isolation and structure elucidation of these acylglucosyl sterols are reported for the first time from the genus Caragana.

The anti-mutagenic effect of Orostachys japonicus (OJ) toward aflatoxin (AFB$_{1}$) and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in the Salmonella assay system was studied. The methanol extract of OJ inhibited the mutagenicity induced by AFB$_{1}$ about 97% when 5% of the extract added to the system. Butanol fraction from the methanol extract was the most effective against AFB$_{1}$. However, other fractions of hexane, chloroform, and ethylacetate also showed considerable antimutagenic activity against AFB$_{1}$. Several identified compounds from the fractions of OJ exhibited anti-mutagenic effect. $\beta$-Sitosterol, astragalin and kaempferol-3-rhamnosyl-7-glucoside were selected from the compounds, and these compounds inhibited the mutagenicity dose-dependently. These 3 compounds also decreased the mutagenicity induced by MNNG. From these results, it is suggested that the major compounds such as triterpene, sterol and flavonoid in the OJ were responsible for the inhibition of the AFB$_{1}$ and MNNG-induced mutagenicities.
