To explore the biological activities of Thalictrum alkaloids, a study was initiated to investigate the alkaloidal constituents from T. fauriei, a species indigenous to Taiwan. Extensive fractionation of the ethanolic extract provided three known aporphines, (+)-oconovine (Ia), (+)-isocorydine (Ib), and (+)-corydine (Ic) from nonphenolic tertiary base fraction. From quaternary base fraction two new protoberberinium salts, thalifaurine (IIa), dehydrodiscretine (IIb), in addition to magnoflorine (III), were isolated. The structure of both new compounds were confirmed by total syntheses. Fractionation of phenolic bases yielded a dihydromorphinandienone, (-)-ocobotrine (IV), as well as a novel aporphine-pavine dimer, tentatively named EP-10. The structure of EP-10 was established by means of 2D NMR studies. Preliminary study indicated a weak activity of lyzing Hela cells, in vitro, for EP-10.

CC-MS analysis on the essential oil (CC-oil) of Cinnamomum cassia stem bark led to the identification of cinnamaldehyde (CNA, 1), 2-hydroxycinnamaldehyde (2-CNA), coumarin (2), and cinnamyl acetate. The major volatile flavor in CC-oil was found to be 2-CNA. Coumarin was first isolated from this plant by photochemical isolation and spectroscopic analysis. CNA and CC-oil showed potent cytotoxicity, which was effectively prevented by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) treatment. Intraperitoneal administration with CNA considerably decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) formation and glutathione S-transferase activity in rats. These results suggest that CC-oil and CNA can regulate the triggering of hepatic drugmetabolizing enzymes by the formation of a glutathione-conjugate.

The mammalian immune system comprises a complex array of cells and molecules that interact to provide protection from pathogenic microorganisms. The beneficial role played by lactic acid bacteria and milk-derived peptides in humans, including their effect on the immune system, has been extensively reported. Lactic acid bacteria and milk-derived peptides, which are present in dairy products, are frequently used as nutraceuticals to improve some biological functions in the host. Activation of the systemic and secretory immune response by lactic acid bacteria and milk-derived peptides requires many complex interactions among the various constituents of the intestinal ecosystem. Thus, the aim of this review was to examine in detail the immunological potential of lactic acid bacteria and milk-derived peptides.

During the serial attempts to identify the chemical and biological characteristics of Ailanthi Cortex Radicis, the root bark of Ailanthus altissima (Simaroubaceae), we find out the serious toxic effect on kidney by chloroform fraction of the methanolic extract of the herb drug. The toxicities were revealed as the increase of urea nitrogen amount in blood and lactate dehydrogenase and ${\gamma}-glutamyltransferase$ activities in urine and the decrease of the concentration of glutathione and both of protein bound and non-protein bound -SH in kidney tissue.

A field pilot study on remediation of diesel-contaminated soil by hot air injection/extraction process constructing soil piling system was conducted to evaluate the effects of hot air on the removal of diesel and each constituent. After the heating process of 2 months, the equilibrium temperature of soil reached to 10$0^{\circ}C$ and soil TPH concentration was reduced to about 72% against the initial concentration. Additional extraction process of 2 months induced the continuous extraction of residual diesel and the increment of microbial activity, which made soil TPH concentration reduced to 95%. In addition biological removal of non volatile constituents in diesel was verified indirectly and the removal pattern of each DRO(diesel range organic) as soil temperature was explained.

The cytotoxic activities of methanolic extract and its fractions of Ailanthi Cortex Radicis and column chromatographic eluates of its dichloromethane fraction (DCM fr.) were investigated. DCM fr. Showed the strongest cytotoxicity against hepatoma cells. Furthermore, the active equates 1-3, 8 and 9 were obtained. Effects on free radical generation and the growth of vascular endothelial cells were tested to elucidate the action mechanism of anticancer activity. Eluates 1-3 stimulated free radical generation, while eluates 8 and 9 showed no changes. Especially, eluates 8 and 9 efffectively inhibited the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells in a dose- dependant manner. It is speculated that the anticancer effects of eluates 1-3, 8 and 9 might be due to free radical generation and inhibition of endothelial cell growth, respectively.

For the biological survey, effects of Ailanthi Cortex Radicis, the root bark of Ailanthus altissima(Simaroubaceae) on epoxide hydrolyzing enzymes were checked. The methanolic extract and its chloroform fraction were shown to activate the liver metabolizing enzyme system including epoxide hydrolase system which was monitored by activities of transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and epoxide hydrolase system in bromobenzene treated rats. But they showed no effect on glutathione S-transferase activity.

In a continuing study of the fermented noni (Morinda citrifolia) juice exudates, five compounds, heptanyl $2-O-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-xylofuranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucopyranoside$ (1), n-butyl ${\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucopyranoside$ (2), (1S)-(3-ethenyl-phenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (3), (2S)-2-hydroxybutanedioic acid (4), and daucosterol (5) were isolated from the buthanol partition of the extract. The structures of the isolates were identified by 1D and 2D NMR, and MS experiments, as well as by comparison of their data with the published values. Among the isolates, compounds 1 - 3 were isolated for the first time from the plant species. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cancer chemopreventive potential based on their ability to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production and tumor necrosis factor alpha ($TNF-{\alpha}$)-induced $NF-{\kappa}B$ activity, and quinonone reductase-1 (QR1)-inducing effect.

Lion's Mane Mushroom, Hericium erinaceum, is a traditional edible mushroom widely used in culinary applications. It has been also used as a medicine in East Asian countries due to its various biological activities. Chemical investigation of fruiting bodies of this mushroom afforded many aromatic compounds, which were mostly isolated from polar fraction of its extracts. Herein we tried to investigate non-polar compounds from the extracts of this mushroom. $CHCl_3$-soluble fraction of the extracts was subjected to chemical investigation, which resulted in isolation of four compounds. Their chemical structures were elucidated as ircicerebroside (1), cortenuamide A (2), 1-D-arabinitol-monolinoleate (3), and cinnamic acid (4) on the basis of spectroscopic data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of compounds 1, 2, and 4 from Hericium erinaceum.

From various sources of natural habitat yeasts, which coo 14 transform the constituents of tobacco Powder into flavors, were isolated and three isolates. YOII, M4-1, and M 19-1, were selected These were identified, by their biological characteristics, as Hansenuia ciferri, Pichia acaciae and Candida tropicalis, respectively. Their ferments were extracted with petroleum ether and fractionated into basic, neutral and acidic fractions. The major organoleptic properties of the fermented flavors were detected in the neutral fractions by the sensory test and the yields and threshold values of those fractions were determined and the organoleptic characteristics were described as well.
