From the under ground part of Aconitum volubile Pall. (Ranunculaceae),seven nor- or di-terpenoid alkaloids were isolated and identified by NMR spectra and mass spectrum. The alkaloids were three $C_{19}$-norditerpenoid alkaloids such as isotalatizidine, altaconitine and vilmorrianine A, and four $C_{20}$-diterpenoid alkaloids such as 12-epidehydronapelline, 12-epinapelline, songoramine and songorine. Some of the isolated diterpenoid alkaloids were subjected to oxidation reaction with active $MnO_2$ and oxoammonium salt. The results were C-12 oxidation(ketone formation) and N-dealkylation in veatchin-type and decomposition to non-alkaloidal compounds in atisine-type ajaconine.

Pseudotsuga menziesii 임상에서 질화작용의 억제제로서의 monoterpenoids의 역할을 연구하고자 토양에서의 질화작용과 식물체잎, 낙엽 및 무기토양에서의 monoterpenoids의 함량을 분석하였다. Pseudotsuga menziesii잎이나 임상에서 분석된 monoterpenoids는 대략 16종 이었으며, 그 중 ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene 그리고 terpenolene이 대표적인 것들이었다. 임상에 있는 monoterpenoids의 양은 무기토양층에 비해 항상 많았으며, 계절적 변이가 있었으나 토양층은 항상 일정하였다. 질화작용 과정 중 ammonium oxidation 과정은 낙엽층이 보다 더 많은 저해를 받았으나, nitrite oxidation 과정은 두층별간 별 차이가 없었다. 또한 4가지 monoterpenoids(${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, terpenolene)를 인위적으로 첨가한 토양에서의 질화작용에 역시 am-monium oxidation 과정은 심히 저해를 받는 반면 nitrite oxidation 과정은 저해를 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 모든 결과들은 Pseudotsuga menziesii 임상에 있는 monoterpenoids의 영향으로 질화작용에 관여하는 미생물, 특히 Nitrosomonas europaes의 증식이 억제되어 am-monium oxidation 과정이 저해되었음을 시사한다.

Forest tree species usually takes for long periods to be harvested and cultivated but spearmints are a good model system for woody plant because of reducing and shortening cultivation time. Spearmints are good model plants (Mentha species) for research about terpenoids production and industrial essential oil manufacture. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase (Iso) and limonene synthase (Limo) are the key enzymes of terpenoid biosynthesis pathway. Transgenic and wild spearmints (Mentha spicata, MS) were cultured in vitro and assessed for the essential oil contents. The content of essential oil of transgenic spearmint also was enhanced slightly depending on the target terpenoid genes. In an attempt to increase productivity of terpenoids further, salt and fungal elicitation strategy was adopted on transgenic Mentha spicata. The salt (800 mM NaCl) as abiotic and two fungi (Botrytis cinerea and Glomerella cingulata) as biotic were used for elicitors. In the absence of salt stress four terpenoids were detected from the spearmint extracts, all of them being monoterpenes. On the other hand, the transgenic (MSIso) extracts contained eleven terpenoids (10 monoterpenes and 1 phenylpropene) while transgenic (MSLimo) extracts contained seven monoterpenes. After 3 days of fungal infection, the resistance indices further increased to 4.38, 3.89 and 2.04 for wild type, MSIso and MSLimo, respectively. The salt and fungal elicitators proved beneficial towards modifying both the terpenoids profile and improvement in the composition of essential oil. These results have important applications for the large-scale production of essential oils and forest biotechnology with respect to spearmint.

Streptococcus mutans plays a virtal role in trigering dental caries establishment due to its ability to synthesize two significant factors. The two factors are organic acids and glucans. The former demineralized dental enamel and the latter mediates the attachment of bacteria to tooth surface. It is believed that demineralization of dental enamel and attachment of bacteria are the crucial events that indicate and develop dental caries. For this reason, we studied the effect of the ethanol extracts of Radix Pulsatillae on the growth and acid production of S. mutans. Ethanol extracts of the Radix Pulsatillae showed concentration dependent inhibitory activity against the growth and acid production of S. mutans, and produced significant inhibition compared to the control groups (p<0.05). The extracts inhibited S. mutans adherence to hydroxyapatite treated with saliva, and cell adherence was repressed by Radix Pulsatillae. the ethanol extract of Radix Pulsatillae showed remarkable inhibition of glucosyltransferase, which synthesizes water insoluble glucan form sucrose. Phytochemical analysis showed Radix Pulsatillae contained major components such as phenolic compounds, glycosides, steroids, terpenoid, and saponin. These results suggest that Radix Pulsatillae may have anti-cariogenic properties, which may be related with major components such as phenolic compounds, glycosides, steroids, terpenoid, and saponin.

Ginkgo biliba has been used for bronchitis and asthma in oriental countries and its leaf extract(GBE) contains 24% ginkgoflavone glycoside and 6% terpenoid. Flavonoids and terpenoids are known to have various antioxidant effects such as scavenging of free radicals and chelation of transtional metals. Antioxidant effect of GBE against 1,2,4-benzenetriol(BT), one of toxic metabolites of benzene, was demonstrated throughbsister chromatid exchange(SCE) analysis, single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE) analysis, DNA cleavage assay and lipid peroxidation production analysis. The means of SCE frequencies at 10, 25 and 50$\mu$M concentration of BT were 7.72, 8.02, 9.22 respectively. In addition of GBE with concentration of 50, 200 and 500$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, SCE frequencies were decreased significantly.(p<0.05) According to SCGE analysis, BT induced DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner at concentration of 10 and 50 $\mu$m and the DNA damage induced by BT was significantly protected by GBE(p<0.001). No genotoxicity was observed by GBE treatment alone on DNA cleavage. The effect of BT on lipid peroxidation product, Malondiadehyde(MDA), was increased with concentration of BT(10 and 50 $\mu$M) and reduction in MDA was noted when GBE was added. From above results it is suggested that GBE could protect the cell and DNA from pro-oxidant effect by reactive oxigen species induced by BT.

Diterpenoid 생합성의 중요한 전구체인 geranyl­g geranyl pyrophosphate의 공급을 위해 외부에서 geraniol을 넣어 주었을 때 taxol을 포함한 일부 taxane의 생산이 증대 됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 투여 시기와 투여량에 따라 결과가 크게 변화하였다. Camphor와 menthol은 taxol과 같은 terpenoid 계열의 물질이지만 외부에서 공급하였을 때에는 taxol 생산을 증대시키는 효과는 없었다. 외부에서 인위적으로 taxol과 cephalomannine, baccatin ill 를 공급했을 때 모든 경우에서 taxal 생산은 자극받지 않았으며 taxal을 공급했을 경우에는 bacca tin ill 의 생산이, cephalamannine을 공급했을 경우에는 7 -epl- 1 Q-deacetyltaxol의 생산이, 그리고 baccatin ill을 공급했을 경우에는 10-deacetyltaxol의 생산이 각각 가장 많이 중대하였다.
