Phytochemical study of the methanolic extract of Flaveria trinervia (Asteraceae) leaves has led to the isolation of three constituents characterised as 3,5,7,4' tetrahydroxy-6-methoxy flavone (6-methoxy kaempferol), oleanolic acid and ${\beta}-sitosterol-{\beta}-D-glucoside$. The identities of the compounds were confirmed by the physical and spectroscopic data and by comparison with authentic samples.

A simple GC method with a FID detector was developed in order to determine two main compounds (${\beta}$-sitosterol and lupenone) for Adenophorae Radix. ${\beta}$-Sitosterol and lupenone were analyzed by the gradient thermal ramping method. Nitrogen was used as the carrier gas at 108 kPa. The flow rate of gas was 2.0 mL/min; $2{\mu}L$ of filtered sample was injected at a split ratio of 1 : 80. This method was fully validated with respect to linearity, precision, accuracy and robustness. Further, this GC-FID method was applied successfully in order to quantify two compounds in an Adenophorae Radix extract. The GC analytical method for classification analysis was performed by repeated analysis of 59 reference samples in order to differentiate between Adenophora triphylla var. japonica Hara and 14 Codonopsis lanceolata. The results indicate that the GC-FID method is suitable and reliable for the quality evaluation of Adenophorae Radix.

${\beta}$-sitosterol glucoside exists in a variety of plants and have anti-tumor, anti-microbial, and immunomodulatory activities. Mast cells and eosinophils play important roles in a variety of inflammatory diseases, specifically asthma and atopic dermatitis. In the present study, we used lactose-${\beta}$-sitosterol (L-BS) and investigated the effect of L-BS on inflammatory responses of the human mast cell line, HMC-1 and the human eosinophilic leukemia cell line, EoL-1. In HMC-1 cells, L-BS significantly inhibited cell migration in response to stem cell factor without cytotoxicity. However, the mRNA expression of CC chemokine receptors (CCRs), including CCR1-5, were not altered after L-BS treatment in HMC-1 cells. LPS-induced IL-4 production was also suppressed by L-BS in a dose-dependent manner. In EoL-1 cells, the concentration ranging from 0.1 ${\mu}M$ to 10 ${\mu}M$ of L-BS had no cytotoxicity and had no effect on mRNA expression of major protein-mediators derived from activated eosinophils. However, 100 ${\mu}M$ of L-BS induced the apoptosis of EoL-1 cells in a time-dependent manner. This finding indicates the possibility of L-BS as a potential therapeutic molecule in inflammatory diseases and may contribute to the need to improve current therapeutic drugs.

찰옥수수 가을재배시 등숙에 따른 종실의 지방산조성과 phytosterol의 함량변화를 검토하여 고품질 풋옥수수 생산을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 본 연구를 수행하여 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 찰옥수수 출사후 일수가 경과할수록 종실의 조지방 함량은 지속적으로 증가 하였고, 흑진주찰은 일미찰보다 조지방 함량이 높았다. 2. 출사후 일수에 따른 지방산의 조성비는 뚜렷한 변화를 보였는데, palmitic acid 및 linoleic acid는 점차 감소되었으나 oleic acid는 증가되었고, 흑진주찰은 일미찰에 비해 불포화지방산의 조성비가 다소 높았다. 3. 출사후 일수가 경과할수록 총 phytosterol의 함량은 증가하여 출사후 33일에 함량의 최대치를 보였는데, 일미찰의 총 phytosterol 함량은 937.7 mg/100 g, 흑진주찰은 867.9 mg/100 g이었으나 품종간 통계적 함량의 차이는 없었다. 4. Phytosterol의 조성은 품종간 차이를 보였는데, 일미찰은 ${\beta}-sitosterol$ > stigmasterol > campesterol 순으로 함량이 높았으나, 흑진주찰은 ${\beta}-sitosterol$ > campesterol > stigmasterol 순으로 함량이 높았고, 성분별로 볼 때 campesterol 함량은 품종간 차이가 없었으나 stigmasterol 및 ${\beta}-sitosterol$은 흑진주찰이 일미찰에 비해 함량이 높았다. 5. Palmitic, linolieic, linolenic acid는 campesterol 및 ${\beta}-sitosterol$과 유의한 부(-)상관이 있었고, stearic acid는 stigmasterol과 정(+)상관이 인정되었다. Oleic acid는 campesterol 및 ${\beta}-sitosterol$과 정상관이 있었으나 stigmasterol과는 부상관이 인정되어 찰옥수수 등숙중 종실의 지방산 조성은 phytosterol의 함량의 변이에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다.

Mallotus nepalensis (Euphorbiaceae) is a small tree found in central and eastern Himalayas, Nepal, Wallich and Sikkim. The 90% ethanolic extract of Mallotus nepalensis exhibited mild CNS depressant activity. Four compounds, lupeol (1), ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (2), ursolic acid (3) and ${\beta}-sitosterol-\;{\beta}-D-glucoside$ (4) were isolated from the 90% ethanolic extract of this plant of which 1, 3 and 4 are being reported for the first time from this species.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder causing dementia worldwide, and is mainly characterized by aggregated β-amyloid (Aβ). Increasing evidence has shown that plant extracts have the potential to delay AD development. The plant sterol β-Sitosterol has a potential role in inhibiting the production of platelet Aβ, suggesting that it may be useful for AD prevention. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of β-Sitosterol on deficits in learning and memory in amyloid protein precursor/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) double transgenic mice. APP/PS1 mice were treated with β-Sitosterol for four weeks, from the age of seven months. Brain Aβ metabolism was evaluated using ELISA and Western blotting. We found that β-Sitosterol treatment can improve spatial learning and recognition memory ability, and reduce plaque load in APP/PS1 mice. β-Sitosterol treatment helped reverse dendritic spine loss in APP/PS1 mice and reversed the decreased hippocampal neuron miniature excitatory postsynaptic current frequency. Our research helps to explain and support the neuroprotective effect of β-Sitosterol, which may offer a novel pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of AD. Taken together, these findings suggest that β-Sitosterol ameliorates memory and learning impairment in APP/PS1 mice and possibly decreases Aβ deposition.

The flowers of Chrysanthemum boreale Makino were extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with n-hexane, EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$. Two compounds from the n-hexane fraction and one glucoside from the n-BuOH fraction were isolated through the repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. From the result of physico-chemical data including NMR, MS and IR, the chemical structures of the compounds were determined as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (1), phytol (2) and zingerone $4-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (3). Compounds 2 and 3 were isolated for the first time from this plant.
