We have carried out the antioxidative activity of nuts species for the development of antioxidant from natural products. From our previous report, EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts of acorn hull and chestnut hull were found to have a strong antioxidative activity in various antioxidant experiment. In the continuous study, we isolated several compounds from EtOAc and n-BuOH extracts of acorn hull and chestnut hull by fractionation using column chromatography. The structures of isolated compounds were identified as catechin, naringenin and ellagic acid on the basis of their spectroscopic properties and by comparison of their physical and spectra data with published value. Antioxidative activities of catechin, naringenin and ellagic acid were measured by DPPH, ferric-thiocyanate and Rancimat method.

The aqueous ethanolic whole plant extract of Rosa arabica was found to contain the new natural dimeric phenolic compound, ellagic acid 3,3'-dimethyl ether $4-O-{\alpha}-rhamnopyranoside$, 9, along with ten known phenolic metabolites (1-8, 10 and 11). Structures of all compounds (1-11) were established by routine methods of analysis and confirmed by FAB-MS, $^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ NMR spectral analysis.

Ellagic acid (EA) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound in vegetables, nuts, and fruits such as berries. EA has antioxidant, anticancer, anti-allergy, and anti-inflammatory activities. The objectives of this research were to investigate the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles before and after nano-encapsulation of EA in dairy protein and to develop a functional (anti-inflammatory) dairy protein-based beverage containing EA. A particle size analyzer was used to determine the physicochemical and morphological properties. High performance liquid chromatography was used to evaluate the entrapment efficiency of EA. The nanoparticles containing EA were 100 to 200 nm in diameter. The determined poly dispersity index value of 0.3 to 0.4 indicated that the nanoparticles were uniformly distributed with similar size. Zeta-potential values were also similar between the control groups. The entrapment efficiency of EA was nearly 90%. The results indicate the potential for development of nanoparticles containing EA beverage products with anti-inflammatory activity.

Demand for a new anti-malarial drug has been dramatically increasing in the recent years. Plasmodium falciparum enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (PfENR) plays a vital role in fatty acid elongation process, which now emerged as a new important target for the development of anti-microbial and anti-parasitic molecules. In the present study, 19 compounds namely alginic acid, atropine, chlorogenic acid, chrotacumine A & B, coenzyme $Q_1$, 4-coumaric acid, curcumin, ellagic acid, embelin, 5-O-methyl embelin, eugenyl glucoside, glabridin, hyoscyamine, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, rohitukine, scopolamine, tlatlancuayin and ursolic acid were evaluated on their docking behaviour on P. falciparum enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (PfENR) using Auto dock 4.2. The docking studies and binding free energy calculations exhibited that glabridin gave the highest binding energy (-8.07 kcal/mol) and 4-coumaric acid in contrast showed the least binding energy (-4.83 kcal/mol). All ligands except alginic acid, ellagic acid, hyoscyamine and glabridin interacted with Gln409 amino acid residue. Interestingly four ligands namely coenzyme $Q_1$, 4-coumaric acid, embelin and 5-O-methyl embelin interacted with Gln409 amino acid residue present in both chains (A & B) of PfENR protein. Thus, the results of this present study exhibited the potential of these 19 ligands as P. falciparum enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (PfENR) inhibitory agents and also as anti-malarial agents.

The objective of this study was to identify the content of phenolic and volatile organic compounds in edible and non-edible parts of 'Seolhyang' strawberry plants. We performed a comparative chemical analysis of the compounds found in roots, leaves, petioles, runners, and unripe and ripe fruits during vegetative propagation and reproductive growth. The contents of ellagic and gallic acids in the leaves of runner plants during vegetative propagation were $7.36{\pm}1.10$ and $5.07{\pm}3.66mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ FW, respectively, and were higher than those in the other parts. The main volatile organic compound was identified as 3-hexen-1-ol, and it was mostly detected in leaves. The content of ellagic acid in leaves during reproductive growth was $12.96{\pm}2.30mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ FW, while that in the other parts was below $6.00mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ FW. The content of gallic acid in unripe fruits was $2.75{\pm}0.48mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ FW and was higher than that in the other parts. Ripe fruits contained the lowest contents of ellagic and gallic acids but contained the most diverse volatile organic compounds, including sesquiterpenes, among the tested plant parts. The results indicate that non-edible parts (e.g., leaves and unripe fruits) of strawberry plants can be used as a raw material for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents, and edible parts (i.e., ripe fruits) can be available for making an essential oil.

Ellagic acid (EA), an antioxidant polyphenolic constituent of plant origin, has been reported to possess diverse pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and immunomodulatory activities. This work aimed to clarify the skin anti-photoaging properties of EA in human dermal fibroblasts. The skin anti-photoaging activity was evaluated by analyzing the reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), total glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity levels as well as cell viability in dermal fibroblasts under UV-B irradiation. When fibroblasts were exposed to EA prior to UV-B irradiation, EA suppressed UV-B-induced ROS and proMMP-2 elevation. However, EA restored total GSH and SOD activity levels diminished in fibroblasts under UV-B irradiation. EA had an up-regulating activity on the UV-B-reduced Nrf2 levels in fibroblasts. EA, at the concentrations used, was unable to interfere with cell viabilities in both non-irradiated and irradiated fibroblasts. In human dermal fibroblasts, EA plays a defensive role against UV-B-induced oxidative stress possibly through an Nrf2-dependent pathway, indicating that this compound has potential skin antiphotoaging properties.

밤 가공공장에서 폐기되고 있는 밤의 귀피를 항산화 기능성 자원으로 활용하고자 밤 귀치의 methanol 추출물 및 용매획분을 benzoic acid 수산화법으로 hydroxyl radical 소거능과 ferric thiocyanate법으로 과산화물생성 억제능을 시험하였다. 대부분의 획분에서 항산화성을 보였으며 특히 ethyl acetate 획분에서 BHA나 $\alpha$-tocopherol과 거의 유사한 rkdgkshydroxyl radical 소거능과 지질과산화물생성 억제능을 보였다. Ethyl acetate 획분으로부터 항산화성 물질을 분리하기 위하여 Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography 및 prep HPLC를 행하여 단일 물질로 정제하였다. 분리 정제된 물질을 $^{1}$H-NMR과 $^{13}$C-NMR로 구조 분석한 결과 gallic acid로 동정하였다. 페놀산을 GC로 분석한 결과 밤 귀피의 주요 페놀산으로 ellagic acid(172.22 mg%) 와 gallic acid(107.39 mg%)가 확인되었다.
