  • In the course of continous work on tubers of Gastrodia elata, a new constituent was isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction prepared from the methanol extract. The structure of the compound was identified as ${\alpha},{\alpha}'-[bis-2-(5-carboxaldehydo)furanyl]-dimethyl$ ether from the elemental analytical and spectroscopic data. This compound was once isolated from Cirsium chlorolepis and named as cirsiumaldehyde. This is the first furan type compound isolated from Gastrodia elata.

  • The chloroform layer of fermented glasswort (Salicornia herbacea) juice was found to have higher radical-scavenging activity than the other layers by the assays using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) ($ABTS^+$) radicals. Two antioxidative compounds were isolated and purified from the chloroform layer by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography using the guided assay of DPPH radical scavenging. Based on mass spectrometer and nuclear magnetic resonance, the isolated compounds were identified as cirsiumaldehyde (1) and chrysoeriol (2). This is the first study to report the presence of those compounds in fermented glasswort juice. Compound 2 showed higher radical-scavenging activity than 1.

  • Peroxynitrite ($(ONOO^-)$ is a cytotoxic species formed from nitric oxide and superoxide anion, which are highly implicated in the pathogenesis of oxidative stress-mediated diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the scavenging effects of Phellinus linteus on authentic $ONOO^-$, and further phytochemical studies are planned that will attempt to identify the active principles. From the active EtOAc fraction, a mixture of fungisterol and 5-dihydroergosterol (1), a mixture of betulin and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid bis (2-methyl heptyl) ester (2), protocatechualdehyde (3), protocatechuic acid (4), cirsiumaldehyde (5), hispidin (6), caffeic acid (7), phelligridin D (8), uracil (9), gallic acid (10), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (11), ferulic acid (12), 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (13), arbutin (14), isoferulic acid (15), guanosine (16), and ellagic acid (17) were isolated, and their structures were characterized based on spectroscopic data. All compounds except 3, 6, 7 and 16 were isolated for the first time from P. linteus. Compounds 3, 4, 6-8, 10-15, and 17 showed potent scavenging activity on $ONOO^-$, with $IC_{50}$ values of $2.06\;{\pm}\;0.10$, $3.45\;{\pm}\;0.57$, $0.71\;{\pm}\;0.05$, $2.78\;{\pm}\;0.36$, $5.42\;{\pm}\;0.26$, $1.13\;{\pm}\;0.02$, $1.82\;{\pm}\;0.17$, $0.91\;{\pm}\;0.19$, $1.59\;{\pm}\;0.09$, $1.88\;{\pm}\;0.07$, $1.22\;{\pm}\;0.37$, and $2.01\;{\pm}\;0.02\;{\mu}M$, respectively, as compared to the positive control, DL-penicillamine, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $5.04\;{\pm}\;0.06\;{\mu}M$.
