The content analysis of 6-gingerol, which is an active compound, in Zingiber spp. (Z. officinale and Z. mioga) and their commercial foods (ginger teas and powders) was conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography. A reverse phase system was used, with a gradient solvent system of water and acetonitrile. The 6-gingerol content was highest in the methanol extract of Z. officinale root (17.09 mg/g extract) and ginger powder B (15.92 mg/g extract). The results demonstrated that this method was simple and reliable for the quality control of Zingiber commercial foods.

An isolate 90-GT-302, identified as Kitasatosporia kimorexae, was found to produce antibiotics that induce mycelial swelling in Magnaporthe grisea, and Fusarium solani. The strain produced at least 5 antibiotics. Among them, the main active compound designated as kimorexin A was isolated and its physico-chemical properties and biological activities were examined, and as a result was found to be of the thiopeptide antibiotic. A comparison between the properties of kimorexin A and those of the known thiopeptide antibiotics led us to conclude that kimorexin A was a new thiopeptide polythiazolyl antibiotic. Kimorexin A showed a narrow antimicrobial spectrum against very limited genus of phytopathogenic fungi. It prevented host plants from infections of Rhizoctonia solani and absolute parasitic fungi, such as Sphaerotheca fuliginea and Puccinia recondita, almost completely at the treatment concentration of approximately 20 ppm.

D-Glucoses, one of the aldohexoses, was reacted with carbonyl compound such as actione or cyclohexanone. Hydroxy groups which are C-1, C-2 site and C-5, C-6 site of D-glucose molecule were substituted with isopropylidene or cyclohexylidene group and such 3-O-acyl-D-glucoses as 3-O-lauroyl-D-glucose, 3-O-myristoryl-D-glucose, 3-O-palmitoyl-D-glucose, 3-O-stearoyl-D-glucsoe and 3-O-oleoyl-D-glucose were obtained by acylation with acylchlorides having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms followed by hydrolysis.

During the screening of inhibitors of melanin biosynthesis from microbial secondary metabolites, a fungal strain MR-93 which was capable of producing high level of an inhibitor was selected from plant leaf. Based on taxonomic studies, the fungus could be classified as a strain of Trichoderma sp.. The active compound (MR-93D) was purified from the culture broth by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, ethylacetate extraction, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and HPLC. The inhibitor was identified as 4-hydroxy-8-isocyano-l-oxaspiro[4-4]cyclonon-8-en-2- one by spectroscopic methods of UV, $^{1}$H-NMR, ESIMS and IR. MR-93D showed a strong tyrosinase inhibitory activity with 0.03 $\mu$g/m of IC$_{50}$ value. It also inhibited melanin biosynthesis with 35 mm inhibition zone at 30 $\mu$g/paper disc in Streptomyces bikiniensis, a bacterium used as an indicator organism in this work.

One Helicosporium strain, isolated from a wilted chestnut tree, evidenced in vitro antimicrobial activity against various types of bacteria and fungi, and generated a diffusible pigment. The antimicrobial compounds and the diffusible pigment of the Helicosporium sp. isolate were purified via solvent fractionation, column chromatography, and recycling preparative chromatography. Both the major antimicrobial compound and the diffusible pigment were identified as 2-methylresorcinol via nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Therefore, 2-methylresorcinol, a diffusible pigment generated by Helicosporium sp., appears to be an active antimicrobial principle. This pigment also exhibited considerable cytotoxicity against mammalian cells.

In this study, (5-chloro-2(3H)-benzoxazolon-3-yl)propanamide derivatives were synthesized. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by their IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectral data and microanalysis. The compounds were tested for anti nociceptive activity by using the tail clip, tail flick, hot plate, and writhing methods. The varying levels of anti nociceptive activity of the compounds were compared with those of dipyrone and aspirin. Among these compounds, compound 5e, 5g, and 5h have been found to be significantly more active than the others and the standards in all the tests.

Pyrazole, ${\beta}$-lactam, salicidine, pyren and oxazole derivatives exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. With growing application on their synthesis and bioactivity, chemists and biologists in recent years have considerable attention on the research of these derivatives. In the view of potential importance of these derivatives, we have crystallized few of the derivatives and its report has been published. The present study focuses on docking studies of these derivatives against COX-2 enzyme. Docking studies using Schrodinger's GLIDE reveals that these derivatives shows better binding energy and score in the defined active site. These results may provide a guiding role to design a lead molecule which may reduce inflamation.

As IR-sensor for detecting pollution material, the iron silicide has a fit band gap, high physicochemical stability at high temperature and good acid resistance. The growing film was formed with the Fe-Si bond and the organic compound because plasma resolved the injected precursors into various active species. In the Raman scattering spectrum, the Fe-Si vibration mode showed at 250 {TEX}$cm^{-1}${/TEX}. The FT-IR peak indicated that the various organic compounds were deposited on the films. The iron silicide was epitaxially grown to β-phase by the high energy of plasma. The lattice structure of films had [220]/[202] and [115]. The thickness of the films increased with the flow rate of silane. But rf-power increased with decreasing the thickness. The optical gap energy and the band gap were shown about 3.8 eV and 1.182∼1.194 eV. The band gap linearly increased and the formula was below: {TEX}$E_g^{dir}${/TEX}= 8.611×{TEX}$10^{-3}N_{D}${/TEX}＋1.1775
