The crystal structure or $\gamma$-hydroxy-$\betha$-aminobutyric acid was determined by MULTAN system with X-ray intensity data on a diffractometer and refined by the least-squares method to an R-value 0.034 for 711 reflections. The crystals were orthorhombic, space group $P2_{1}2_{1}2_{1}$, Z = 4, with a = 10.220, b = 8.257 and c = 6.556$\AA$. The molecule takes the zwitterionic form and skeletal conformation is trans-transform. The molecules are held together by intra-and intermolecular NH-O and OH--O hydrogen bonds.

MeOH extract of Cuscuta chinensis seeds was fractionated with n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH successively, and antioxidant activities were tested for all fractions using DPPH free radical scavenging method. In the tested fractions, EtOAc fraction showed high antioxidant activity$(EC_{50},\;50\;{\mu}g)$ From the EtOAc fraction, five compounds have been isolated. On the basis of spectral data, these compounds were identified as ${\beta}-sitosterol$, methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamate, ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, caffeic acid, quercetin, kaempferol and calycopteretin. Among these compounds, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ and ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ showed no antioxidant activity. $EC_{50}$ values of methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamate, caffeic acid, quercetin, kaempferol and calycopteretin were 0.6, 8, 19, 17 and $12\;{\mu}g$, respectively.

Natural 6-dodecen-4-olide (Butte lactone) was produced from plant oils containing high unsaturated fatty acids via two-stage microbial hiotransformation. After unsaturated fatty acids were liberated from plant oil by microbial lipase, these were converted to optically active hydroxyl fatty acid (HFA) by hydroxylation reaction of Pseudomonas sp. NRRLB-2994. When safflower oil containing >75% unsaturated fatty acid, linoleoic acid wasused, Pseudomonas sp. produced 8g/L of 10-hydroxy-12(z)-octadecanoicacid with average of 39.2% bioconversion efficiency during 48 hr biotransformation period. The recovered 10-hydroxy-12-octadecanoic acid was further bioconverted to 4-hydroxy-6-dodecenoic acid via partial ${\beta}-oxidation$ by Yarriowia lipolytica ATCC34088. 4-hydroxy-6-dodecenoic acid in culture was lactonized by lowering pH to 4.0 using $4N\;H_{2}SO_{4}$ and heating for 5 min to 6-dodecen-4-olide (Butter lactone). Natural 6-dodecen-4-olide had characteristic aroma properties when compared to 6-dodecan-4-oilde (dodecalactone) and 4-decen-4-olide (decalactone).

The syntheses of novel heterocyclic base modified pyrimidine nucleosides are described. 5, 6-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-$(\beta$-D-ribofuranosyl)2(1H)-pyridinone 7 was synthesized by condensation of silylated 5, 6-dimethyl4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-2(1H)-pyridione 7 was synthesized by condensation of silylated 5, 6-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-2(1H)-pyridinone with $\beta$-D-ribofuranose-1-acetate-2, 3, 5-tribenzoate in dichloroethane in the presence of Lewis acid followed by debenzoylation. The 2, 2'-anhydro-5, 6-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-1-$\beta$-D-arabinofuranosyl-4-pyridinone 8 was obtained from the reaction of the free ribonucleoside 7 and diphenyl carbonate in DMF. None of these compounds showed any significant antiviral ad antitumor activities in vitro tests.
