Seven compounds, euscaphic acid (1), nepehinol (2), ursolic acid (3), phytol (4), ${\beta}-amyrin$ (5), scopoletin (6), and rutin (7) were isolated from the aerial parts of Synurus excelsus which has been used as Korean traditional medicine to treat rheumatic arthritis and dysmenorrhea. Their structures were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. All compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant.

The inhibition of aldose reductase (AR) has been shown to prevent the progression of the many complications associated with diabetic hyperglycemia. Several compounds purified from various plant sources have exhibited potent inhibition against AR. In this study, the inhibitory effects of the methanol extracts of the flowers of Synurus excelsus and Weigela subsessilis on AR were determined in vitro. Scopolin and scopoletin are coumarins isolated from the flowers of S. excelsus and W. subsessilis; and quercetin is a known AR inhibitor present in many flowers. To determine and quantify their presence in both plants, HPLC-UV analysis of all three compounds was performed. S. excelsus and W. subsessilis showed potent inhibition against AR having $IC_{50}$ values of 0.17 and $0.14{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The concentration of scopolin in S. excelsus and W. subsessilis were 34.71 and 174.14 mg/g extract, respectively. Scopoletin was detected in S. excelsus at 3.41 mg/g extract, whereas quercetin was not detected in both plants. This study shows that S. excelsus and W. subsessilis exhibited promising AR inhibitory effects and are both sources of coumarins.

큰수리취와 국화수리취 등 국내 자생하는 수리취 2종의 폴리페놀 및 항산화 활성을 분석한 결과, 추출수율은 두 종간 차이가 없었으며, 총 폴리페놀 함량은 큰수리취와 국화수리취 에탄올 추출물이 195.7 및 216.2 mg/g으로 두 종 모두 물 추출물에 비해 더 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 총 플라보노이드 함량도 에탄올 추출물이 큰수리취와 국화수리취 모두 물 추출물보다 더 높았으며, 총 폴리페놀은 국화수리취 에탄올 추출물에 가장 많이 함유되어 있는 반면 총 플라보노이드 함량은 큰수리취 에탄올 추출물에서 가장 높았다. 수리취의 항산화 활성 실험 결과, DPPH radical 소거활성은 1mg/mL의 농도에서 큰수리취 및 국화수리취 에탄올 추출물이 각각 73.1% 및 73.4%로 대조물질로 사용한 BHT(81.2%)와 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않을 정도로 우수하였으나, ABTS radical 소거활성은 용매별, 종별 추출물 간에 차이가 없었고 SOD 유사활성은 거의 나타나지 않아 실험방법에 따라 항산화 활성의 차이가 크게 나타났다. 식물 추출물의 정확한 항산화 활성 측정을 위해서는 추출물에 따라 측정방법의 선택에 대한 고려가 필요하며 수리취 역시 추출물에 함유되어 있는 페놀성 물질의 특성 및 항산화 기전에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Seven phenolic compounds, scopoletin (1), caffeic acid methyl ester (2), apigenin 7-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnosyl-(1${\rightarrow}$6)-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucoside (3), isorhamnetin 7-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucoside (4), isorhamnetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucoside (5), luteolin (6), and quercetin 3-methyl ether (7) were isolated from the methanol extract of the flowers of S. excelsus. Their structures were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. The isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines in vitro using a SRB method. The compounds 4 and 7 showed moderate cytotoxicity with ED$_{50}$ values ranging from 1.59 to 13.14${\mu}$g/ml.
