목련과 수종인 함박꽃나무의 현탁배양세포로부터 생리활성을 갖는 리그난화합물인 (+)-eudesmin을 효율적으로 생산하기 위한 연구로써 플라스크배양 단계에서의 다양한 배양조건들 즉, 배지, 초기 당농도, 교반속도, 초기 접종농도, 그리고 elicitation 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. MS배지를 포함한 4종의 배지에서는 물질의 생산성과 생중량 모두에서 MS배지가 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 130 rpm으로 교반되는 항온배양기에서 $3\%$ sucrose와 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D가 첨가된 MS배지에 0.5 mg (DCW)의 농도로 세포를 접종한 실험구에서 8주 후 플라스크 당 3.71 g (DCW)의 생중량을 얻었으며, 지표물질인 (+)-eudesmin의 함량은 $5\%$ sucrose와 200 mg/L chitosan 처리구에서 $3.2{\mu}g/g$ (DCW)으로 대조구에 비해 1.7배의 증가를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 생물반응기를 이용한 목련과 수종에서의 유용물질 생산 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

(+)-Eudesmin [4,8-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,7 -dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane] was isolated from the stem bark of Magnolia kobus DC. var. borealis Sarg. and found to have neuritogenic activity. $50\;{\mu}M$ (+)-eudesmin induced neurite outgrowth and enhanced nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells. At this concentration, (+)-eudesmin also enhanced NGF-induced neurite-bearing activity and this activity was partially blocked by various protein kinase inhibitors. These included PD98059, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase inhibitor. GF109203X, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor and H89, a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor. These results suggest that (+)-eudesmin can induce neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells by stimulating up-stream MAPK, PKC and PKA pathways.

Possible antiinflammatory effect of eudesmin were examined by assessing the effects on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ production and lymphocyte proliferation as well as cytotoxicity against murine and human macrophages. the compound significantly inhibited TNF-$\alpha$, production by lipopolysaccaride (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophage RAW264.7 without displaying cytotoxicity suggesting that eudesmin may inhibit TNF-$\alpha$ production without any interference of normal cell function. It also significantly attenuated T cell proliferation stimulated by concanavalin A (Con A) in a dose-dependent manner.

Flos magnoliae (FM), the dry flower buds of Magnolia officinalis or its related species, is a traditional herbal medicine commonly used in Asia for symptomatic relief of and treating allergic rhinitis, headache, and sinusitis. Although several studies have reported the effects of FM on store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) via the ORAI1 channel, which is essential during intracellular calcium signaling cascade generation for T cell activation and mast cell degranulation, the effects of its isolated constituents on SOCE remain unidentified. Therefore, we investigated which of the five major constituents of 30% ethanoic FM (vanillic acid, tiliroside, eudesmin, magnolin, and fargesin) inhibit SOCE and their physiological effects on immune cells. The conventional whole-cell patch clamp results showed that fargesin, magnolin, and eudesmin significantly inhibited SOCE and thus human primary CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation, as well as allergen-induced histamine release in mast cells. Among them, fargesin demonstrated the most potent inhibitory effects not only on ORAI1 (IC50 = 12.46 ± 1.300 μM) but also on T-cell proliferation (by 87.74% ± 1.835%) and mast cell degranulation (by 20.11% ± 5.366%) at 100 μM. Our findings suggest that fargesin can be a promising candidate for the development of therapeutic drugs to treat allergic diseases.

Three lignans were isolated from the fruit of Magnolia denudata (Magnoliaceae) through repeated column chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated as sesamin, kobusin and eudesmin, respectively, by spectroscopic analysis. These compounds were isolated for the first time from the fruit of Magnolia denudata.

Three TNF-$\alpha$inhibitory lignans were isolated from the flower buds of Magnolia fargesii through bioassay-guided isolation. They were identified as eudesmin, magnolin and lirioresinol-B dimethylether on the basis of their spectroscopic data. All three lignans showed inhibitory effects on TNF-$\alpha$ production in LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cell line, RAW264.7 and eudesmin showed the strongest activity ($IC_{50}=51{\mu}M)$.

Phytochemical investigation of the MeOH extract of the aerial parts of Geranium eriostemon resulted in the isolation of one triterpene, three furofuran lignans, one syringic acid and four flavonoids. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be oleanolic acid (1), (-)-kobusin (2), (-)-eudesmin (3), (+)-magnolin (4), syringic acid (5), quercetin (6), juglanin (7), juglalin (8), and hyperin (9). All compounds (1 - 9) were isolated for the first time from this plant source and the compounds 2 - 4 were reported first from the genus Geranium. Compounds 4 - 6 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines in vitro using a SRB bioassay.
