To detect anxiolytic activity from Sanguisorbae Radix we used various animal models of fear or anxiety that are sensitive to known anxiolytic drugs. While diazepam showed significant anxiolytic activities in all five animal models empolyed in this study, $5-HT_3$ antagonist ondansetron and ethylacetate fraction of Sanguisorbae Radix did show anti-anxiety effects in social interaction and two compartment exploration tests. Ethylacetate fraction of Sanguisorbae Radix and 5-HT related drugs like ondansetron and buspirone, however, seem to have merit over diazepam in terms of not causing drowsiness. Among ten subfractions obtained from ethylacetate fraction of Sanguisorbae Radix by silica gel chromatography, subfraction I showed higher anxiolytic activities than subfraction DEF in two animal models, social interaction and two compartment exploration tests. There is growing evidence for the role of 5-HT in the control of anxiety. We hope that new compound(s) will be found from the active fractions of Sanguisorbae Radix as a potential anxiolytic agent in the future.

Tanshinone IIA is a pharmacologically active ingredient extracted from Danshen, a Chinese traditional medicine. Its molecular mechanisms are still unclear. The present study utilized computational approaches to uncover the potential targets of this compound. In this research, PharmMapper server was used as the inverse docking tool andnd the results were verified by Autodock vina in PyRx 0.8, and by DRAR-CPI, a server for drug repositioning via the chemical-protein interactome. Results showed that the retinoic acid receptor alpha ($RAR{\alpha}$), a target protein in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), was in the top rank, with a pharmacophore model matching well the molecular features of Tanshinone IIA. Moreover, molecular docking and drug repurposing results showed that the complex was also matched in terms of structure and chemical-protein interactions. These results indicated that $RAR{\alpha}$ may be a potential target of Tanshinone IIA for APL. The study can provide useful information for further biological and biochemical research on natural compounds.

N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide is the active ingredient in insect repellant against malaria mosquito. It is remarkable that if the methyl group is in either of the other isomeric positions(ortho or para) the compound is ineffective as an insect repellant. Semiempirical quantum mechanical treatment are applied to these molecules to explain the difference, using the extended Huckel theory, the theoretical predictions for the preferred conformation are compared with experimental results.

1,2,4-Triazoles and quinoxalines were found to display various pharmacological activities. Hence a series of 1-aryl-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines were synthesized. Due to various advantages of organic reactions under solvent-free conditions these compounds were developed using iodobenzene diacetate under solvent-free conditions. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental microanalysis, infrared spectroscopy, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR and HRMS. All the synthesized compounds were investigated for their antitubercular activity and 5g was found to the most active compound.

N-(2-Amamantyl)-N-(5-arylhydrazono-6-methyl-4-oxopyrimidin-2-yl) guanidines (IIIa, b), 2-(2-admantyl-amino)-4-amino-s-triazine (IVa) and its 6-chloromethyl derivative (IVb) were prepared by cylization of 1-(2-admantyl) biguanide HCl (I) with ethyl 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxobutyrates (II), ethyl formate and ethyl chloroacetate, respectively. Where 1-(2-admantyl)-3-(4, 5-dioxo-2-imidazolidinylidene)guanidine (V) was used as intermediate for the synthesis of amides (VIIa, b), hydrazide (VIII) and azomethine derivatives (IX, b) of alkyl 2-(2-admantyl-amino)-4-amino-2-triazine-6-carboxylates (VI a, b). The antimicrobial testing of the prepared compounds proved that compound 1Xb was the most active. It showed a marked bacteriostatic effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.

There are 200 kinds of constituents including minerals, vitamin B-complex and organic acids in it. The organic acids of them were presumed as active materials. It is traditionally used for treatment of stress related disorder, hepatic disease, immune disorder, G-I disorder and inflammatory disease. Extracts from artichoke leaves are traditionally used for treatment of stress related disorder, that is, hepatic disease, dyspeptic disorder, hyperlipidemic disorder and diuretic disorder. The aim of this study was to investigate anti-stress effects of Hervchoke juice produced from Choa pharmaceutical company.

Silymarin is the standardized extract from Silybum marianum which consists mainly of flavonoids and polyphenols. It is highly regarded for its hepatoprotective ability. Silybin B is a flavonolignan and one of the active components of silymarin. The content of silybin B in various parts of S. marianum was analyzed by HPLC-UV. Results show that the extract of seeds contain the highest amount of silybin B (7.434 mg/g DW). The petioles of S. marianum showed a low content of silybin B. This study revealed that seeds of S. marianum contain high amount of silybin B and could be a good source of the compound.

Active antibacterial compound against periodontitis-causing bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis was isolated from Kaempferia pandurata and identified as panduratin A. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of panduratin A was $4\;{\mu}g/mL$, much lower than those of other natural antibacterial agents. Panduratin A also showed antibacterial activity against Prevotella intermedia ($2\;{\mu}g/mL$), P. loescheii ($4\;{\mu}g/mL$), and cariogenic Streptococcus mutans ($4\;{\mu}g/mL$). Damage on cell wall and perturbation of cytoplasmic membrane of panduratin A-treated P. gingivalis were visualized through transmission electron microscopy. These results suggest panduratin A, exhibiting strong and preferential antiperiodontal and anticariogenic activities, may be utilized in functional foods for prevention of oral diseases.

The methanolic extract of the Rhizome of Curcuma zedoaria exhibited a significant prolongation of hexobarbital (HB)-induced hypnosis. Through liquid chromatography of an ether soluble fraction. monitoring by bioassay, three sequiterpenes, germacrone (A), curzerenone (B) and germacrone epoxide (C) were isolated as active consituents. A single treatment (100-200 mg/kg, i.p.) of each compound showed not only a significant prolongation of HB-induced sleeping time but also a significant inhibition of aminopyrine N-demethylase activity in mice, and further exhibited a typical type I binding spectra with oxidized rat hepatic cytochrome P-450 induced by phenobarbital. All of the compounds provoked a sleep episode at a subhypnotic dose of HB, implying that they possess CNS depressant properties.
