  • Kale(Brassica oleracea var. acephala) is one of Cruciferous vegetables that is closely related to the wild ancestral form of cabbabe. The ethanol extract of kale which contains the active compoundsss under Salmonella assay system was fractionated with chloroform to collect the nonpolar solvent soluble compounds, and then further fractionation was carried out by silica gel column chromatography. Among kale extracts separated by silical gel column chromatography, the fractions of 4, 5 and 6 exhibited strong antimutagenic activities. The major active compounds from the fraction were identified as chlorophyll derivatives by the analysis with HPLC-fritp-MS. The molecular weights of each chlorophyll derivatives in the sample were acquired from the peaks of positive ion atomosphere pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mas spectrometry.

  • Volatile compounds, isolated from Chopi (Zanthoxylum piperitum A.P. DC.) using steam distillation, were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O). Forty-six volatile compounds, consisting of 12 hydrocarbons, 8 aldehydes, 5 esters, 12 alcohols, 4 ketones, 4 oxides and 1 acid, were tentatively identified from the essential oil of Chopi. Unidentified compounds constituted 7.2% of the total peak area. Limonene was the most abundant compound, followed by geranyl acetate, citronellal, cryptone and ${\beta}$-myrcene. In addition, aroma-active compounds, in particular citronellal and limonene, which are related to the citrus and Chopi flavors of Chopi essential oil, were detected. The aroma of Chopi essential oil had a score of 4.8 on the preference test (neither like nor dislike) and a score of 5.97 on the intensity test (slightly strong) using the 9-point hedonic scale.

  • The scope of the research is investigation of immune-modulating activities of A. rugosa (Baechohyang) extract was preformed through the screening active constituents using in vitro assays and evaluating anti-inflammatory activity and anti-atherosclerotic activity of the extract and active compound (tilianin) in vivo. In addition, various functional foods using the extract and whole plant was developed. The extract showed strong anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced acute edema mouse model and anti-atherogenic lesion activity in LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor) deficient mouse model. These activities were thought to be resulted from modulation activity of several pathways of inflammation process. Among the main constituents of Baechohyang, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), Phytosterols, oleanolic acid and rosmarinic acid showed anticomplement activity, and PUFA, acacetin and tilianin newly showed potent ICAM-1 expression inhibition activity. The processes of extraction, mixing ratio of additives and storage conditions were established for drinks, granule tea, leaf tea, mixed tea and furigake.

  • Eighteen new hybrid bivalent ligand quinolones that contain two different type of pharmacophores in a single molecule were prepared and evaluated for in viかo antibacterial activity. Hybrid bivalent ligands p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl quinolones were prepared by the treatment of active esters of succinyl fluoroquinolones with 1,7-disubstituted fluoroquinolone carboxylic acids in DMF. Eighteen final quinolone carboxylic acids were obtained by the reduction of compounds $25{\sim}42$ with hydrogen in the presence of 10% Pd-C. Among these derivatives, compound[56] showed the most potent antibacterial activity against a wide range of microoranisms.

  • Molecular docking using Lamarckian genetic algorithm of AutoDock 3.0 (AD3) was employed to understand in retrospect the selectivity of phenylaminopyrimidine (PAP) derivatives against the kinase domain c-Abl, implicated in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The energetics of protein-ligand complex was scored using AD3 to identify active drug conformations while Ligplot and ligand protein contact (LPC) programs were used to probe schematic molecular recognition of the bound inhibitor to the protein. Results signify correlation between model and crystal structures of STI-571 compound or Imatinib (IM), a PAP derivative and now clinically proven for its efficacy in CML. A prospect active form Abl inhibitor scaffold from matlystatin class of compounds will be published elsewhere.

  • In order for vitamin D to be active, it needs to get metabolized to 1, 25 (OH)$_2$D3. This active metabolite of vitamin D induces epithelial cell differentiation and is antiproliferative. However, at the efficacious concentration, the natural ligand for VDR is hypercalcemic and toxic to cells. Therefore, numerous analogs have been synthesized with the hope of generating a compound that retains vitamin D activity and is non-toxic.(omitted)

  • Piperine was reported to have a potential central nervous system (CNS) depressant activity in mice. In order to search a more active and less toxic compound than piperine and to elucidate the active group of piperine, the aromatic amides (10 compeunds) and aromatic esters (10 cempounds) of 3, 4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid were synthesized and evaluated on CNS depressant activity in comparison with piperine. The pharmacological tests conducted are as follows; (1) Acute, toxicity, (2) Antagonism against strychnine induced conduced convulsion, (3) Antagonism against maximal electrobhock seizure, (4) Rotarod test, (5) Potentiation of hexobarbital sleeping time. It was observed that 3, 4-methylendioxycinanamic acid derivatives were less toxic than piperine, and showed no significant CNS depressant activities. These facts indicate that the piperoyl group might be concerned with the pharmacological activity of piperine.

  • Methods were developed to synthesize optically active mercaptoglycerol from optically active isopropylidene glycerols. 1,2-Isopropylideneglycerol was tosylated and the tosyl group displaced with thiolacetate. Base hydrolysis and oxidation gave 1,1'-dithiobis-2,3-isopropylidene-2,3-propanediol. This compound could be used as a source of mercaptoglycerol, or reacted with 1-decenyl lithium to form cis-1-S-dec-1'enyl-2,3-isopropylidene-1-mercapto-2,3-propanediol. The latter is a stereospecific synthetic route to cis-alkenyl thioethers of protected mercaptoglycerol, and it may be useful for the preparation of a thioplasmalogen substrate for plasmalogenase.
