We wanted to elucidate the reason why the trityloxymethyl substituent in $\gamma$-trityloxymethyl-$\gamma$­butyrolactone takes a sterically unfavorable specific conformation, and so we synthesized 5-trityloxymethyldihydrofuran-3-one, 3-(trityloxymethyl)-4-butanolide and 2-trityloxymethyl- tetrahy­drofuran and we then analyzed their conformation by $^{1}H-NMR$ analysis.

Two new triterpenoidal saponins B(1) and C(2) were isolated from the fructus of Kochia scoparia. On the basis of chemico-spectral evidences, the structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated as oleanolic acid 3-O-$\beta$-D-ribopyranosyl-(1$\rightarrow$2)-.betha.-D-glucuronopyranoside and 3-O-$\beta$-D-xylopyranosyl-(1$\rightarrow$3)-$\beta$-D-glucuronopyranosyl-olean-12-en-28-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl ester, respectively.

A combination of magnolol or honokiol with lysozyme isolated from the egg white of the Korean Ogol fowl (Korean natural monument No.265) exhibited synergistic effect of bactericidal activity against a typical cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176. The synergistic ratio increased with time dependence.

A new synthetic sequence for the chiral lactone moiety of compactin was developed from $\alpha$-D-glucose in 9 steps via simultaneous reductive detosylation and epoxide-ring opening of 2, 3-epoxy-4-tosylate using NaBH_4$ to afford 2, 4-dideoxy sugar as a key intermediate.

In a microbial cell-free extract system, side chain cleavage on various sterols and steroids was tested. The cell-free extracts of Mycobacterium sp. NRRL B-3805 showed the side chain cleavage activity on lithocholic acid to form 5$\beta$-androstan-3.17-dione. The properties of the activity were examined.

Cartechin and catechin glycoside named uldavioside A were isolated from the Korean folk medicine Ulmus davidiana. Based on chemical and physicochemical evidences, their structure have been determined as (+) catechin (1) and (+)-catechin-5-0-$\betha$ D-apiofuranoside (2).

The reaction of (E)-2, 4-pentadienoic acid with aqueous bromine was reinvestigated to affirm the formation of (E)-5-bromo-4-hydroxy-2-pentenoic acid, whose structure was confirmed by the spectroscopic methods as well as the chemical modification.

As a part of finding the biologically active components from Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke (Rosaceae), antitumor activities of its water soluble fractions have been studied. The fractions were examined for antitumor activity against sarcoma 180 implanted in mice. The anitumor inhibition ratios of the water soluble fractions from Duchesnea indica were 17.9, 37.1, 62.1, 62.4%, repectively.

Effects of squalene on cellular and non-specific immune responses and antitumor activity in mice were investigated. Cellular and non-specific immunological assay parameters adopted in the present study were delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and resette forming cells (RFC) for cellular immunity, activities of natural killer (NK) cells and phagocyte for non-specific immunity. Squalene resulted in marked increases of cellular and non-specific immune functions and enhancement of host resistance to tumor challenge in dose-dependent manner.

5-Alkyl-3-(1-thioxolanyl-cyclohexenyl)-resorcinol derivatives are readily prepared by boron trifluoride-on-alumina-catalyzed formation of 5-alkylresorcinols with 1-thioxolanyl-2-cyclohexenol; their formation depends on the nature of the alkylgroup. The yield is the highest with 5-(1, 1-dimethylheptyl)-resorcinol. The one with 5-pentylresorcinol is higher than 5-methylresorcinol and resorcinol apparently because of steric effects. The yields of the products increases: 3a (10%), 3b (20%) 3c (48%) and 3d (77%).
