The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenolic acid, proanthocyanidin (PAs), and flavonol glycoside contents, as well as the antioxidant activities of pine needle extracts from six species of young pine trees. The extracts were prepared from Section Pinus (Diploxylon): P. densiflora, P. sylvestris, P. pinaster and P. pinea, and Section Strobus (Haploxylon): P. koraiensis and P. strobus. Phenolics were extracted from pine needles with 80% acetone to obtain the soluble free fraction, and insoluble residues were digested with 4 M NaOH to obtain bound ethyl acetate and bound water fractions. Phenolics were analyzed by HPLC, and the hydrophilic antioxidant activity was measured using oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the soluble free fraction were higher than those of the bound ethyl acetate and bound water fractions. The main phenolics were monomers and polymers of PAs in the soluble free fraction, and phenolic acids and flavonol glycosides in bound ethyl acetate fraction. Flavonol glycosides found in different species of pine needles were qualitatively similar within fractions, but composition varied among Pinus sections. High levels of kaempferol arabinoside and an unknown compound were present in all Strobus species. The soluble free fraction had the highest antioxidant activity, followed by bound ethyl acetate and bound water fractions.

The effect of fungal elicitor and heavy metal salts on the production of flavonol glycosides in cell cultures of Ginkgo biloba was investigated. Among the fungi tested, Trichoderma longibrachiatum ATCC 52326 was found to be the most efficient in the production of flavonol glycosides. Kaempferol production from the elicited callus increased ten-fold as compared to the unelicited callus, while quercetin concentration of elicited cells was nine-fold higher than that of uneliceited cells in suspension cultures. The maximum quercetin concentration of 0.362㎎/l was obtained in 1.25㎎/l of the homogenate elicitor. Among the heavy metal salts tested, CuSO₄ showed a significant effect on quercetin accumulation, reaching to the concentration of 0.526 ㎎/l. Quercetin concentration increased to a maximum of l2-fold in response to CuSO₄ treatment as compared to that of untreated cells. The phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity and flavonol glycosides production simultaneously increased for 5 days of culture after fungal elicitor feeding, and their contents showed the same proportional patterns during the culture period. In contrast, PAL activity of cell cultures treated with CuSO₄ was almost constant during the culture period, although quercetin production increased remarkably.

For the investigation of medicinal resources the studies were carried out to evaluated the pharmaco-constituents in the Leaves of Parthenocissus tricuspidata(Vitaceae), of which leaves have been used in Korea as folk remedies for the treatments of arthritis, jaundice, toothache, neuralgia, and etc. From 1-butanol fraction of the MeOH extract, Compound I ($C_{21}H_{18}O_{13}$, Quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucuronopyranoside), Compound II ($C_{21}H_{20}O_{12}$, Quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside) and Compound III ($C_{25}H_{28}O_{12}$, Quercetin-3-O-(6"-n-butyl)-$\beta$-D-glucuronopyranoside) were isolated by column chromatographic separation using Sephadex LH-20 and ODS gel. Their structures were elucidated through instrumental analyses, such as $^{1}H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, IR, UV, El-Mass, FAB-Mass and GC. Especially compound III was Flavonol glycoside and named parthenosin.

The drug consists of the dried entire plant of Viola diamantica (family Violaceae). It is used for the treatment of acute pyogenic diseases such as boil and carbuncles; also as tumor, high fever, tuberculosis and astringent hemostatic. Two flavonol glycosides have been isolated from the aerial parts of Viola diamantica and could be identifed as kaempferol 7-rhamnoside and kaempferol 3,7-dirhamnoside (bright yellow needle crystal, mp $225^{\circ}$, $C_{27}\;H_{30}\;O_4\;4H_2O$). Kaempferol 7-rhamnoside and kaempferol 3,7-dirhamnoside were first isolated from Viola diamantica.

Phytochemical examination of the leaves of Alnus hirsuta, one of the indigenous species grows in Korea, has led to the isolation of one flavan 3-ol and two flavonol glycosides. Structures of these compounds are identified as (-)-epicatechin (1), quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$ (2), quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$ (3) by means of physico-chemical and spectral evidences.

In human beings, it is known that there is a correlation between the occurrence of acne and the ability to suppress sebum. Sebosuppression may be related to the inhibition of sebocyte proliferation, differentiation, and lipogenesis in sebaceous glands. To investigate the skin sebosuppressive activity of green tea extract, the in vivo effects of its flavonoid compounds on the androgen-dependent stimulation of pigmented macules in hamsters and performed in vitro experiments with human primary sebocytes were examined. Our results imply a dual activity of skin sebosuppression by green tea flavonoids; some catechins including epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and gallocatechin-3-gallate (GCG) may reduce the differentiation of sebocytes by inhibiting PPAR-${\gamma}1$ mRNA expression, whereas some flavonol glycosides including kaempferol may inhibit lipogenesis in sebaceous glands by decreasing levels of the mature form of sterol-sensitive response elements binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c). Therefore, green tea is a potentially effective material for use in the development of health foods or cosmetics for skin sebosuppression.
