The antioxidative constituents isolated from Hedyotis diffusa were identified as quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-rutinoside (1) and quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-glucoside (2). We also isolated asperuloside (3) from this plant. Identification was done based on spectroscopic analysis. Quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-rutinoside was the stronger antioxidant than quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-glycoside while asperuloside was inactive.

One new iridoid glycoside, 10-p-dihydrocoumaroyl-6-${\alpha}$-hydroxygeniposide (1), and six known iridoid glycoside derivatives, 10-p-dihydrocoumaroyl deacetylasperuloside (2), asperulosidic acid methylester (3), asperuloside (4), asperulosidic acid (5), deacetylasperuloside (6), and scandoside (7) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the whole plant of Galium verum var. asiaticum Nakai (Rubiaceae) through repeated column chromatography. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. This is the first report of the characterization of compounds 1 - 7 from this plant.

Nine iridoid glycoside derivatives were elucidated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Galium spurium (Rubiaceae) through repeated column chromatography. Their chemical structures were characterized as 10-O-trans-p-coumaroylscandoside (1a), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroylscandoside (1b), 10-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-10-O-deacetyldaphylloside (2), 10-O-cis-p-coumaroyl-10-O-deacetyldaphylloside (3), asperulic acid methylester (4), asperuloside (5), asperulosidic acid (6), scandoside (7), and deacetyl asperulosidic acid (8) by spectroscopic analysis. This is the first report of the characterization of compounds 1a, 1b, 2, 3 and 7 from this plant.

As part of an ongoing search for natural plants with antioxidant compounds by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), a total extract of the twigs of Galium spurium L. (Rubiaceae) was found to show potent antioxidant activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract led to the isolation of nine compounds, asperulosidic acid methyl ester (1), asperuloside (2), caffeic acid (3), kaempferol-3-O-L-rhamnopyranoside (4), quercetin-3-O-[${\alpha}$-Lrhamnopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside] (5), isorhamnetin-3-O-glucopyranoside (6), quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (7), kaempferol-3-O-[${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside] (8), and quercetin (9). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1, 3-8 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Among them, compounds 3 and 9 showed the significant radical scavenging effects on DPPH, and compounds 3 and 7 showed the potent riboflavin originated superoxide quenching activities.

This study was carried out to investigate the various roles and effects of Morinda citrifolia L.(noni) on the human body and to utilize the findings obtained for future disease related research on food and nutrition. Morinda citrifolia L. has been used in folk medicine by Polynesians for over 2,000 years and is reported to have a broad range of therapeutic effects. Noni is an alkaloid system such as proxeronine, scopoletin, octanoic acid, terpenoids, alkaloids, anthraquinones, nordamnacanthal, morindone, rubiadin, b-sitosterol, flavone glycosides, linoleic acid, acubin, L-asperuloside, caproic acid, caprylic acid, ursolic acid, rutin. Noni's side effects have been reported to affect anti-inflammatory, analgesics, LDL antioxidant, anti-tumor, antifungal, antibiotic, antiviral, antiparasitic and immunosuppressive effects. In particular, noni's efficacy is considered to be important for the prevention of diseases by inhibiting active oxygen, which is a direct cause of oxidative stress, through various metabolites through 'xeronine system'. Noni's functions and effects that have been examined in this study include anti-inflammation, pain relief, antioxidant, anticancer, hepatocyte protection among others. Therefore, noni's extracts are considered highly useful for diverse scientific and nutritional health functional foods.

Objective This study identified useful herbal medicines and prescriptions for obesity treatment by analyzing herbal medicines and prescriptions that showed meaningful results in weight loss by changing the gut microbiota. Methods Using PubMed, we selected and studied 23 papers showing meaningful results on weight loss through changes in the gut microbiota using herbal medicines. Result Of the 23 selected papers, 17 were of studies using herbal medicines, and 6 of studies using prescriptions. Pomegranate peel, Flos Lonicera, Rehmannia glutinosa, Rhein, Coix seed, Platycodon grandiflorus, mulberry leaves, Poria cocos, asperuloside, Bupleuri radix, Astragalus polysaccharides, Ephedra sinica, Ganoderma lucidum, Hirsutella sinensis, Caulis spatholobi, aconite, and Bletilla striata were used as herbal medicine. Linggui zhugan-tang, Bofutsushosan, Shenling baizhu powder, Chowiseungcheng-tang, Daesiho-tang, and Yijin-tang were used as prescription. Conclusion Seventeen herbal medicines and six prescriptions associated with meaningful results in weight loss through changes in the gut microbiota, suggest the possibility of treatment and prevention of obesity through herbal medicine.

Oldenlandiae Herba has been used for the prevention or treatment of cancer in oriental medicine for years. Experimentally its antitumor activity was reported. However, in order to develop new Korean original plants. we tried to study the antitumor activity of Chinese and Korean origin Oldenlandiae Herba. We first evaluated the cytotoxicity of Oldenlandiae Herba originated from China and Korea on HT1080, U937 and SK-mel tumor cells. MeOH extract of Chinese Oldelandiae Herba was more effective than MeOH extract of Korean Oldenlandiae Herba. Approixmately IC50 of two species of Oldelandiae Herba was 380-450 ug/ml. For evaluation of antiangiogenic activity, proliferation assay with HUVECs(Human umblical vein endothelial cells) was done with three samples. Chinese Herba and Korean Herba and root. Korean root and herba was more effective than Chinese Herba. Thus, we found Korean Oldenlandiae was more effective on angigenic activity than Chiness Oldenlandiae. In an anlytical study on effective compounds from Oldenlandiae, the spot of ursolic acid was more marked by Korean Oldenlandiae than by Chinese Oldenlandiae. whereas the spot of asperuloside was more pronounced by Chinese Oldenlandiaethan by Korean Oldenlandiae by TLC analysis.
