Protein methylation occurs ubiquitously in nature and involves N-methylation of lysine, arginine, histidine, alanine, proline and glutamine, O-methylesterfication o dicarboxylic acids, and S-methylation of cysteine and methionine. In nature, methylated amino acids accur in highly specialized proteins such as histones, flagella proteins, myosin, actin, ribosomal proteins. hn RNA-bound protein, HMG-1 and HMG-2 protein, opsin, EF-Tu, EF-$1\alpha$, porcine heart citrate synthase, calmodulin, ferredoxin, $1\alpha$-amylase, heat shock protein, scleroderma antigen, nucleolar protein C23 and IF-3l.

5-Aminolevulinic acid and its derivatives, which are known to affect the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, have been synthesized. Simple methods for the synthesis of 5-aminole-vulinic acid (ALA), a precursor of porphyrins, have been developed in our laboratory for use in studies on the biosynthesis of porphyrins.

Cirsium rhinoceros Nakai (Compositae) is a herbaceous perennial native to Korea, whole plant of which has been used in folklore medicine. C. rhinoceros was extracted by a standard extraction procedure. Its n-hexane, $CHCl_3$ and n-BuOH extracts were fractionated by column chromatography to provide a polyacetylene, a coumarin and five flavonoids. Ciryneol C, scopoletin, acacetin, cirsimarin were isolated for the first time from this plant.

The total synthesis of norneolignans isolated from Krameria species, 2-aryl-5-(E)-propenylbenzofurans (5, 11), is described. The key step involves the one-pot reaction for 2-arylbenzofurans (2, 7) from 4-hydroxyphenylacetone with 4'-acetoxy-2-chloro-2-(methylthio)acetophenone (1) and 2-chloro-2-methylthio-(2',4',6'-trimethoxy)acetophenone (6) under Friedel-Crafts reactionconditions.

New HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, in which 3-substituted 4, 5-polymethylenepyrazoles are employed as a hydrophobic anchor connected to tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-one by a two-carbon bridge, were designed and synthesized to exhibit significant inhibitory activity comparable to mevinolin. The most potent enzyme inhibitor $(11cc, IC_{50}=0.01{\mu}M)$ is 4-fold more potent than lovastatin.

Preliminary microbial metabolism studies of bisphenol A (BPA) (1) on twenty six microorganisms have shown that Aspergillus fumigatus is capable of metabolizing BPA. Scale-up fermentation of 1 with A. fumigatus gave a metabolite (2) and its structure was established as bisphenol $A-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (BPAG) based on spectroscopic analyses.
