ROS have been associated with pathogenic processes including carcinogenesis through direct effect on DNA and play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation. Because of many types of phenolic acid derivatives and flavonoids, apples have been one of the human diet since ancient times and are one of the most commonly consumed fruits in worldwide. In this study, catechin, chlorogenic acid and phlorizin dihydrate were purified and identified by HPLC and GC/MS. The contents of catechin, chlorogenic acid and phlorizin dihydrate were 1.01 mg, 7.01 mg and 3.67 mg/ kg wet weight, respectively. Catechin and phlorizin dihydrate were found to significantly inhibit oxidative DNA damage, while chlorogenic did not affect. Also, catechin inhibits NO and $PGE_2$ production via suppressing iNOS and COX-2 expression. However, chlorogenic acid and phlorizin dihydrate did not affect. Our results show that catechin may be the most active phenolic compound in anti-oxidative damage and anti-inflammatory effect.

In present study, we conducted quantification analysis of phenolic compound (paeonol), monoterpene glycoside (paeoniflorin), and tannin ((+)-catechin in the 70% ethanol extracts of non-processed Moutan Radicis Cortex (MRC) and processed MRC by roasting using a high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detector. Three marker components were separated on Gemini $C_{18}$ analytical column and the column was maintained at $40^{\circ}C$ using two mobile phase system consisting of 1.0% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid and 1.0% (v/v) acetic acid in acetonitrile. The flow rate and injection volume were 1.0 mL/min and 10 mL. In non-processed MRC sample, the concentrations of three marker compounds, (+)-catechin, paeoniflorin, and paeonol were 0.20, 1.18, and 2.12%, respectively. On the other hand, the concentrations of the three compounds in processed MRC samples were 0.03-0.24, not detected-1.08, and 0.76-1.82%, respectively.

Phytochemical examination of the barks of Pinus densiflora Siebold et Zuccarini has led to the isolation of one phenylpropanoid, one lignan, one flavonoid, one flavan 3-ol and two procyanidins : 4-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-p-coumaric acid (1), 2,3-dihydro-2-(4-methoxy)-7-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethyl-5-(3-hydroxy propyl)-benzofuran 3-O-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranoside (2), taxifolin 3'-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (3), (+)-catechin (4), procyanidin B1 (5) and epicatechin-($4{\beta}$-8)-catechin-($4{\alpha}$-8)-catechin (6). Among them, Compound 4, 5 and 6 showed potent anti-oxidative activities and these anti-oxidative activities were significantly different compared with ascorbic acid as positive control.

Antimicrobial studies on reproductive organs have been scarcely reported. Candida albicans and Neisseria gonorrhoea test to find out the natural substances of various concentrations in the antimicrobial experiments have been made. Antimicrobial effect of biopole as the natural compound biosynthesis matter that contain anti-inflammatory material, catechin polyphenols and lactic acid as a single natural substance on C. albicans were of great significance. Also the results of antimicrobial effects of biopole, catechin and lactic acid as a single natural substance on N. gonorrhoea, respectively, showed lower concentration than those of the antimicrobial effects on C. albicans. Through the survival of Lactobacillus acidofillus that acts for the protection of the genital tissue the importance of lactic acid was confirmed. Lactobacillus acidofillus protection and C. albicans firmly into disinfected to low concentrations of the natural mixture from biopole and catechin with lactic acid were found and the antimicrobial effects of this natural mixture on N. gonorrhoea were perfect. C. albicans and N. gonorrhoea to disinfect the optimal natural mixture from 2% concentration biopole, 0.2% concentration of catechin and 2% lactic acid were obtained. Through the survival of Lactobacillus acidofillus in the reproductive organs protectable effects were acquired to prevent the infections of reproductive tissue and the recurrence.

12 kinds of (-)-catechin derivatives were designed and synthesized. The catechin derivatives were evaluated their antioxidant activities using DPPH method. Most of them showed good antioxidant activity, particularly compounds 1d, 1e and 1j exhibited more activity than butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Molecular docking studies for compounds 1d, 1e and 1j with STAT1 showed not only sufficent characteristics binding cavity but also agreement with the observed biological activity. Acording to docking results, the compounds showed greater than hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interactions, and Van der Waals interactions as compared to the reference compound. They formed hydrogen bonds with important residues such as Lys566, His568, Leu570, and Phe644. The compounds showed a novel hydrogen bonding interaction with Arg649, which was not reported previously. Our results might suggest the compounds could serve as a novel anti-oxidant agent.

본 연구는 캠벨종 포도 종자 ethyl acetate 분획물로 부터 생리활성 물질을 분리$\cdot$동정하고 분리물질의 생리활성을 검토하기 위하여 수행되었다. 캠벨종 종자 ethyl acetate분획물로부터 sephadex LP-20 column chromatography를 이용하여 활성물질을 단리하고 ${1}^H$ 및 ${13}^C$) NMR 분석을 통하여 (+)-catechin과 (-)-epicatechin을 동정하였다. HPLC를 이용하여 정량 분석한 결과, (+)-catechin은 45.7$\%$의, (-)-epicatechin은 $35.1\%$의 함량을 나타내었으며 이들 화합물이 포도종자 중의 주요한 생리 활성물질로 사료된다. 이들 화합물의 단독 또는 병용 처리 시 항산화 활성, 지질과산화 억제효과 및 자외선 차단 효과를 살펴본 결과, DPPH free radical 소거 활성에서는 (+)-catechin과 (-)-epicatechin 모두가 $RC_{50}$= 11.1 ${\mu}g/mL$와 $RC_{50}$= 10.4 ${\mu}g/mL$으로 높은 free radical 소거 활성을 나타내었으나, 지질 과산화 억제는 (+)-catechin이 나 (-)-epicatechin 단독처리보다는 ethyl acetate 분획물에서 훨씬 효과가 좋은 것으로 나타났다.

Urease plays an important role in the urea metabolism and the effect of urease activity on human and environment is enormous. For instance, urease acts as a virulence factor of the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts infections in human and animal, being involved in kidney stone formation, catheter encrusatation, pyelonephritis, ammonia encephalopathy, hepatic coma, and urinary tract infections. Widespread urease activity in soil induces a plant damage due to ammonia toxicity and pH increase. Therefore, urease activity regulation through urease inhibitors would lead to an enhanced efficiency of urea nitrogen uptake in plants and to the improved therapeutic strategies for ureolytic bacterial infections. To search for new inhibitory compounds on urease activity from herbs, MeOH extracts of herbs were screened. Among of them, the MeOH extracts of Areca catechu exhibited an excellent inhibitory effect on urease activity. Two compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction by the activity guided fractionation. Their chemical structures were identified as (+)-catechin(compound I) and allantoin(compound II) by spectroscopic evidence, respectively. Compound I showed a stronger inhibitory effect on urease activity than compound II.
