In this study, the antibacterial activity, antioxidative effects, inhibitory effects on tyrosinase of Inula britannica flower extracts were investigated. MIC values of ethyl acetate fraction from Inula britannica flower on P. acnes 0.25 %, respectively. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction was the highest in the P. acnes. The free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activities ($FSC_{50}$) of ethyl acetate fraction of Inula britannica flower was $8.55{\mu}g$/mL. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities ($OSC_{50}$) of some fInula britannica flower extracts on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}$- EDTA/$H_2O_2$ system were investigated using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The order of ROS scavenging activities were ethyl acetate fraction $0.24{\mu}g$/mL. Ethyl acetate fraction showed the most prominent ROS scavenging activity. The protective effects of extract/fractions of Inula britannica flower on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The Inula britannica flower extracts suppressed photohemolysis in a concentration dependent manner ($5{\sim}100{\mu}g$/mL), particularly deglycosylated flavonoid aglycone fraction exhibited the most prominent celluar protective effect ($\tau_{50}$, 164.15 min at $25{\mu}g$/mL). The inhibitory effect of Inula britannica flower extracts on tyrosinase was investigated to assess their whitening efficacy. Inhibitory effects ($IC_{50}$) on tyrosinase of some Inula britannica flower extracts were high. Ethyl acetate fraction has $IC_{50}$ of $87.03{\mu}g$/mL. These results indicate that extract/fractions of Inula britannica flower can function as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging $^1O_2$ and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. And inhibitory activity on tyrosinase of the ethyl acetate fraction and high potential as bactericide against the skin pathogenic bacteria could be applicable to new functional cosmetics for antioxidant, antiaging, antibacterial activity.

In this study, antioxidative effects and inhibitory effects of Geum aleppicum Jacq. extracts on tyrosinase and elastase were investigated. The ethyl acetate fraction of G. aleppicum Jacq. extract ($4.70\;{\mu}g$/mL) showed the most prominent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity (FSC50). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities ($OSC_{50}$) of some G. aleppicum Jacq. extracts on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}-EDTA/H_2O_2$ system were investigated using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the most prominent ROS scavenging activity ($0.22 \;{\mu}g$/mL). The protective effects of extract/fraction of G. aleppicum Jacq. against the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The G. aleppicum Jacq. extracts suppressed photohemolysis in a concentration dependent manner ($1{\sim}25{\mu}g$/mL), particularly the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited the most prominent celluar protective effect (${\tau}_{50}$, 416.20 min at $10 \;{\mu}g$/mL). The inhibitory effect of G. aleppicum Jacq. extracts on tyrosinase and elastase were investigated to assess their whitening and anti-winkle efficacy. The half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of the ethyl acetate fraction on tyrosinase was $95.23\;{\mu}g$/mL. The $IC_{50}$ of 50 % ethanol extract and the ethyl acetate fraction on elastase were $6.27 \;{\mu}g$/mL and $4.31 \;{\mu}g$/mL, respectively. These results indicate that extract/fraction of G. aleppicum Jacq. can function as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging $^1O_2$ and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. Especially the ethyl acetate fraction of G. aleppicum Jacq. extracts could be applicable to new functional cosmetics for antioxidant, antiaging.

Ethanol ($70\%$) extract of Caesalpinia sappan L. and Forsythiae suspensa Vahl. showed $84\%$ and $72\%$ of anti-urease activity against Helicobacter pylori, respectively. Among the fraction of Artemisia asiatica Nakai extract using methanol ($80\%$), water, ethyl acetate and butanol ethyl acetate fraction showed $90\%$ of the anti-urease activity.

Basolateral and brush border membrance (BLM and BBM) vesicles of renal proximal tubules were prepared from adult male New Zealand White rabbits to develop an experimental for assessment of nephrotoxicity. PAH uptakes using BLMV, and glucose and leucine uptakes using BBMV were measured in the rabbits treated uranyl acetate. In addition, urinalysis and histopathological studies were performed to investigate the correlationship with the membrance vesicle uptakes.

Environmentally-friendly polymer composite films were manufactured from cellulose acetate (CA) and polyethylene (PE). To investigate the optimum manufacturing conditions for the composite, various tests such as thermal analysis, surface observation, IR spectra analysis, and elongation ratio of polymer composite films were carried out. The mixing ratio of each element and manufacture condition was found to be very important for the best goods.

In the present study Momordica dioica fruit pulp was successively extracted with hexane and methanol. To the concentrated methanolic extract ethyl acetate was added and ethyl acetate soluble portion was separated. Both hexane extract (HE) and ethyl acetate soluble portion (EASP) of methanolic extract was vacuum dried to yield the respective HE and EASP. HE and EASP were evaluated for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities in a dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg in mice and rats. Both HE and EASP significant exhibited analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities when compare to standard drug.

Methyl acetate의 초음파 흡수측정을 0.2-10MHz의 주파수 범위, 은도 5-30에 걸쳐 광회절 초음파 공명법을 사용하여 행하였다. 그 결과, cis와 trans에 의한 완화는 단일 완화현상을 보였고 그 스책트럼으로 부터 완화 주파수와 완화강도를 결정하였다. 완화 주파수의 온도 의존성으로부터 활성화 에너지(${\Delta}H^{#}$)=6.6 kcal/mol을, 완화강도의 온도 의존성에서 엔탈피차(${\Delta}H$)=3.4 kcal/mol을 각각 구하였다.

A new synthetic method for bufexamac, which is a potent anti-inflammatory agent, was described. Friedel-Crafts reaction of butoxybenzene (2) with ethyl ${\alpha}-chloro-{\alpha}-(methylthio)acetate$ (1) gave ethyl 2-methylthio-2-(p-butoxyphenyl) acetate (3). Ethyl 2-(p-butoxyphenyl)acetate (4) was prepared by desulfurization of compound (3) with zinc dust-acetic acid. Bufexamac (5) could be easily synthesized by treatment of compound (4) with hydroxylamine HCl.
