Cirsium japonicum belongs to the Asteraceae or Compositae family and is a medicinal plant in Asia that has a variety of effects, including tumour inhibition, improved immunity with flavones, and antidiabetic and hepatoprotective effects. Silymarin is synthesized by 4-coumaroyl-CoA via both the flavonoid and phenylpropanoid pathways to produce the immediate precursors taxifolin and coniferyl alcohol. Then, the oxidative radicalization of taxifolin and coniferyl alcohol produces silymarin. We identified the expression of genes related to the synthesis of silymarin in C. japonicum in three different tissues, namely, flowers, leaves, and roots, through RNA sequencing. We obtained 51,133 unigenes from transcriptome sequencing by de novo assembly using Trinity v2.1.1, TransDecoder v2.0.1, and CD-HIT v4.6 software. The differentially expressed gene analysis revealed that the expression of genes related to the flavonoid pathway was higher in the flowers, whereas the phenylpropanoid pathway was more highly expressed in the roots. In this study, we established a global transcriptome dataset for C. japonicum. The data shall not only be useful to focus more deeply on the genes related to product medicinal metabolite including flavolignan but also to study the functional genomics for genetic engineering of C. japonicum.

The outer bark of Prunus sargentii was collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone. Then it was successively partitioned with n-hexane, dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and $H_2O$. From the EtOAc soluble fraction, four compounds were isolated by the repeated Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The isolated compounds were determined as (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), taxifolin (3), and neosakuranin (4) by the spectroscopic analysis including $^1H$, $^{13}C$-NMR, and 2D-NMR spectrometers. The antioxidative activities on the isolated compounds and the separated fractions were evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging assay. The crude, EtOAc, and $H_2O$ soluble fractions indicated good antioxidative potential compared to the $CH_2Cl_2$ and n-hexane soluble fractions.

Flavanone $3{\beta}$-hydroxylases (F3H) are key enzymes in the synthesis of flavonol and anthocyanin. In this study, three F3H cDNAs from Oryza sativa (OsF3H-1 ~3) were cloned by RT-PCR and expressed in E. coli as gluthatione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins. The purified recombinant OsF3Hs used flavanone, naringenin and eriodictyol as substrates. The reaction products with naringen and eriodictyol were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to be dihydrokaempferol and taxifolin, respectively. OsF3H-1 had the highest enzymatic activity whereas the overall expression of OsF3H-2 was highest in all tissues except seeds. Flavanone $3{\beta}$-hydroxylase could be a useful target for flavonoid metabolic engineering in rice.

To elucidate chemical structure of the wood extracitives, softwood Larix leplolepis Gorden) metal was extracted with 95% ethanol at room temperature for 72 hours. The extract was fractionated with organic solvents such as n-hexane, chloroform. ether, and ethylacetate. From the n-hexane soluble fraction of the extratives, flavonoid and sterol compounds were isolated and identified as taxifolin(5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavanonol)(I) and ${\beta}$-sitosterol(II) by UV, IR, $^1$H-NMR spectroscopy and Mass spectrometry.

Twelve compounds with lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity were isolated from the stem bark of E. globulus. Their structures were assigned as a new aromatic monoterpene (1) and eleven known compounds, pinoresinol (2), vomifoliol (3), 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenol 1-O-$\beta$-D-(6'-O-galloyl)glucopyranoside (4), methyl gallate (5), rhamnazin (6), rhamnetin (7), eriodictyol (8), quercetin (9), taxifolin (10), engelitin (11), and catechin (12) on the basis of UV, mass, and NMR spectroscopic analyses. These compounds except vomifoliol significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsome.

본 연구에서는 편백나무 잎 추출물의 항산화 효능 평가와 성분 분석을 통하여 편백나무 잎의 항노화 기능성 화장품 원료로서의 이용 가능성을 평가하였다. Luminol 화학발광법을 이용한 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ 계에서 생성된 활성산소종 (reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 편백나무 잎 추출물의 총항산화능은 에틸아세테이트 분획(0.22 ${\mu}g/mL$)과 아글리콘(aglycone) 분획(0.20 ${\mu}g/mL$)에서 모두 L-ascorbic acid (1.50 ${\mu}g/mL$)보다 약 7배 더 큰 항산화 효능을 나타내었다. Rose-bengal로 증감된 사람 적혈구의 광용혈에 대한 편백나무 잎 추출물의 세포 보호 효과를 측정하였을 때 에틸아세테이트 분획과 아글리콘 분획 모두 농도 의존적(5~25 ${\mu}g/mL$)으로 세포보호효과를 나타내었다. 타이로신네이즈의 활성 저해 효과($IC_{50}$)는 편백나무 잎 추출물의 에틸아세테이트 분획과 아글리콘 분획에서 각각 74.43, 53.80 ${\mu}g/mL$으로 나타났으며 아글리콘 분획의 경우 강력한 미백제로 알려진 arbutin (226.88 ${\mu}g/mL$)에 비해 약 4배 정도 더 우수한 활성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 편백나무 잎 추출물의 분획은 TLC 크로마토그램에서 3개의 띠를 나타내었고, HPLC 크로마토그램(360 nm)은 3개의 피이크를 보여주었다. 분리된 3가지 성분은 taxifolin, quercetin, 그리고 Kaempferol로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과들은 편백나무 잎 추출물의 분획들은 $^1O_2$을 비롯한 활성산소종을 소거하고 활성산소종에 대항하여 세포막을 보호함으로써 생체계에서, 특히 태양자외선에 노출된 피부에서 항산화제로서 작용할 수 있음을 시사한다. 편백나무 잎 추출물의 분획들은 항산화나 미백용 화장품에 응용가능성을 확인하였다.
