The contents of sterols and stanols in vegetable oils and mist oil were analyzed by gas chromatography using a capillary column. The total sterol contents showed high values of 0.67~0.89g/100g in corn oil, rice bran oil, red pepper seed oil and sesame oil. Mist oil, a byproduct of soybean oil manufacture, was a suitable raw material for the production of stanol since it showed high sterol content (10.2g/100g). In the hydrogenation of sterol contained in mist oil using Pd catalyst, the effects saponification of oil were examined. The conversion of sterol to stanol was improved by a factor of 4~5 through saponification of oil, compared to the reaction without saponification.

Fatty acids, sterols and amino acids were confirmed from seeds of Acanthopanax senticosus for. inermis Harms. Fatty acids were isolated from petroleum ether extract and identified by gas liquid chromatography. Its composition was myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and behenic acid. The composition of sterols that isolated from n-hexane extract were determined by GC/MS. It was confirmed to be a mixture of ${\beta}-sitosterol$ and stigmasterol. And several kinds of amino acids-cysteic acid, threonine, serine, proline, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, histidine, lysine and arginine-were confirmed from water fraction.

There has been a continuing interest in the sterols and sterodis of marine organisms. The most exciting results of recent studies have been the characterization of a host of novel sterols, many with unique alkylation patterns in the side chain, but some with modified ring structures. The isolation and characterization of three sterols from the Korean alga codium fragile are presented. The major sterol was (24S)-24-ethylcholesta-5,25-dien-3${\beta}$-ol (clerosterol) and two minors are codisterodl and cholesterol.

"Ha-Neul-Ta-Ri" (Trichosanthes kirilowii Max., Cucurbitaceae) cultivated in Korea and used in popular medicine, was investigated for sterol composition of the seed oil. This seed oil contains unusual sterols having ${\delta}^{7, 22}_-$, ${\delta}^{7, 24}_-$ and ${\delta}^{7, 22, 25}_-$ di and trienols. ${\delta}^{7, 22}_-$ Stigmastadienol and ${\delta}^{7, 22, 25}_-$ Stigmastatrienol were identified as the major sterols in the seed oil of Trichosanthes kirilowii by gas loiquid chromatographic analysis. The results showed that contents of the seed sterols were campesterol 1.0-1.2%, stigmasterol 1.5-1.7%, ${\delta}^{7}_-$ campstenol 0.6-0.8%, sitosterol 10.6-11.4%, ${\delta}^{7, 22}_-$ stigmastadienol 39.1-41.8%, ${\delta}^{7, 22, 25}_-$ stigmastatrienol 28.9-29.3%, ${\delta}^{7, 25}_-$ stigmastadienol 14.9-15.5% and ${\delta}^{7, 24}_-$ stigmastadienol 0.7-1.0%.

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.

Marine sponges are known to be a source of diverse sterols. In our study on the cytotoxic components of the marine sponge Spirastrella abata, $5{\alpha},8{\alpha}-epidioxy\;{\Delta}^6$ sterols (1-5) and $5{\alpha},8{\alpha}-epidioxy\;{\Delta}^{6,9(11)}$ sterols (6-7) were isolated. The structures were identified based on the analyses of $^1H-NMR,\;^{13)C-NMR$, and MS data. These compounds were assayed for cytotoxicity against 5 human solid tumor cell lines including A549, SK-OV- 3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, and HCT15.

The steroid compounds in Rhodiola sachalinensis were determined with adsorption column chromatographic purification and GC/MS. Sterols were extracted by sonication and Soxhlet with ethanol and dichloromethane, respectively. The extract was partitioned with chloroform and water using liquid-liquid extraction, and purified with a silica column after the sterols had been converted to the corresponding silyl derivatives with BSTFA. Eighteen free sterols, including $\beta$-sitosterol, stigmasterol and cycloartenol, and nine sterol conjugates were found from Rhodiola sachalinensis by GC/MS. Among them, cholest-5-ene-3-ol, cholesterol, stigmasterol, $\beta$-sitosterol were confirmed and quantified with sterol standards. Most sterols were presented in the chloroform part, with $C_{29}$ being the most abundant group in this sterol group. $\beta$-sitosterol was the most abundant compound with a relative content of 45.94% followed by ergost-7-ene-3-ol (11.33%), 4,14-dimethyl-ergosta-8,24(28)-diene-3-ol (7.07%), stigmasterol (6.09%), cycloartenol (5.43%) and 4-methyl-cholest-5-ene-3-ol (5.39%).

Many naturally occurring polyhydroxylated sterols and oxysterols exhibit potent biologic activities. The role of oxycholesterol including 2, 5(R)-2, 6-hydroxycholesterol is a potent inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis in vitro as it is an effective inhibitor of HMG-Coa reductase. Some new polyhydroxylated sterols were showed potent cytotoxicity to cancer cells. And it has also been chown to be an inhibitor of DNA synthesis, In order to synthesize the various oxy derivatives, we tried to positionselective and reagentselective epoxidation and reduction of cholesterol derivatives.
