  • The present study was carried out to identify traditional konwledges on Korean Campanulaceae plants and conduct a comprehensive review of them through analyzing phytochemistry and pharmacology of Korean Campanulaceae plants. According to the literature study, the ethnobotanical plants of Korean Campanulacae consisted of a total 18 taxa. Of them, 12 taxa including Platycodon grandiflorus, Adenophora triphylla var. japonica, Codonopsis lanceolata and others have been used as ethnomedicinal plants. These plants have been used for the treatment of 49 diseases such as cold, asthma and postnatal care. Phytochemical studies have identified the constituents present from Korean Campanulaceae (Adenophora, Codonopsis, Platycodon, Campanula and Asyneuma). A wide range of chemical compounds comprised 109 triterpenes, 8 sterols, 4 polyacetylenes, 21 alkaloids, 14 flavonoids, 14 phenolic acids, 11 phenolic glycosides, 8 phenylpropanoids and 22 other compounds. Pharmacological studies of these compounds have demonstrated immuno-stimulating, anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic, apophlegmatic and anti-allergic effects. They have also shown antioxidant, estrogenic, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, antinociception and anti-tumor activities, as well as anti-obesity and cardiovascular effects. In light of traditional knowledge and phytochemical and pharmacological studies summarized, uses of Korean Campanulaceae based on traditional knowledge (for the treatment diseases and conditions of respiratory, pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium, genitourinary, circulatory, musculoskeletal and other systems) have been supported by phytochemical and pharmacological studies.

Seed shape of Codonopsis lanceolata is Elliptic. Platycodon glandiflorum is Oblong. Color of seed coats varied from yellow to dark brown. Seed size of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica is 1.37mm in length, 0.69mm in width. One thousand-seed weight of Adenophora triphylla var. japonica is 258mg. Seed size of Codonopsis lanceolata is 4.45mm in length, 2.11mm in width. One thousand-seed weight of Codonopsis lanoceolata is 1,278mg. Seed size of Platycodon glandiflorum is 2.31mm in length, 1.10mm in width. One thousand-seed weight of Platycodon glandiflorum is 988mg. Optimum temperatures for seed germination and seedling growth range from 20 to $25^{\circ}C$.

  • Potential antinumor activity of sixteen Korean medicinal plants was tested against leukemia SN 36, murine tomor model. Survival studies by measuring life span indicated that Morus alba (Moraceae), Verbascum phlomoides (Scrophulariaceae), Curcuma longa (Zingbieraceae), Torilis japonica (Umbelliferae), Bupleurum falcatum (Umbelliferae) and Codonopsis pilosula (Campanulaceae) exhibited significant antitumor activity with the dose-schedule employed in the experiment. Methanol (70%) extracts of Platycodon gradiflorum (Campanulaceae), Bupleurum longeradiatum (Umbelliferae) and Asiasarum sieboldii (Aristolochiaceae) showed rather potent toxicity.

  • Phylogenetic studies were conducted to evaluate the taxonomic relationships among 28 taxa, including 2 outgroups of Korean Campanulaceae, using atpB, atpB-rbcL, atpF-H, matK, rbcL, rpl16, rpoC1 and trnL-F regions sequences in chloroplast DNA. The combined analyses of eight chloroplast DNA regions suggest that Codonopsis and Platycodon basally branches within the phylogenetic tree; Wahlenbergia distinguished an independent clade; Campanula forms a clade; Peracarpa and Asyneuma clade is a sister to the Adenophora-Hanabusaya clade; Hanabusaya is placed within the section Remotiflorae of Adenophora; Adenophora form a clade. Our present results support the generic level, although discordance remained at the infrageneric groups such as section and series based on morphological characteristics in the genus Adenophora.

  • The genus Triodanis Raf. ex Greene (Campanulaceae), which is native to America, is newly reported for Korea based on the discovery of T. perfoliata (L.) Nieuwl in the lowlands of Donneko, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do. The common name 'Bi-neo-seu-geo-ul-sok' is given for the genus and 'Bi-neo-seu-do-ra-ji' for the species. The morphological characters of the genus and species, and illustrations of the species are provided along with photographs of its habitat.

  • Phylogenetic studies were conducted to evaluate the taxonomic relationships among 27 taxa, including 2 outgroups of Korean Campanulaceae, using PCR-RFLP analysis and ITS sequences. In the PCR-RFLP analysis, 15 restriction endonucleases produced 244 restriction sites and size variations from the chloroplast DNA, and 59 restriction sites (24%) showed polymorphism. The length of the ITS regions ranged from 588 bp to 797 bp. The sequence divergence including the outgroups is 0-39.36%. Phylogenetic analyses based on PCR-RFLP and ITS data suggest that Campanulaceae is monophyletic; Codonopsis and Platycodon forms an independent clade; the Peracarpa and Asyneuma clade is a sister to the Adenophora-Hanabusaya clade; Campanula is monophyletic; and Wahlenbergia basally branches within the ITS tree, whereas they are placed between Campanula and the Codonopsis-Platycodon clade in the PCR-RFLP tree; Hanabusaya is placed within the Adenophora clade; and Adenophora is paraphyletic and shows discordance to the infrageneric classifications based on morphological data. The present results show two data sets, largely congruent at the generic level, but their phylogenetic positions, in particular the Wahlenbergia and Hanabusaya and the infrageneric classifications in Adenophora, show some incongruence.

  • The Chinese crude drug, 'Man Sam(蔓蔘)', which is derived from the root of Codonopsis plants of the family Campanulaceae, has been used as a tonic. In China, the same crude drug derived from Codonopsis plants, called 'Dang Same(?蔘)', has been used as remedies for anorexia, fatigue, cough, etc. Although Codonopsis roots have been widely used for medicinal purposes in Korea, the botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmcognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of 'Man Sam', the root morphology and anatomy were examined for the Korean species of Codonopsis species, such as C. lanceolata (Sieb. et Zucc.) Trautv., C. pilosula (Franch.) Nannf. and C. ussuriensis (Rupr. et Maxim.) Hemsl. The study shows that 'Man Sam' is the root of Codonopsis pilosula.
