As the continued studies for Korean cultivated rhubarb, MeOH extract of the leaves was fractionated with ether, ethylacetate, and n-butanol. From the ethyl acetate fraction of MeOH extract, one flavone glycoside, apigenin-8-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside(vitexin, $C_{21}H_{20}O_{10}$) and from the n-BuOH fraction of MeOH extract, two flavonol glycosids, kaempferol-3-O-(2,6-di-O-rhamnopyranosyl)-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside$(C_{33}H_{40}O_{19})$and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside(rutin, $C_{27}H_{30}O_{16}$) were isolated and identified through the physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic evidences(UV, IR, NMR, Mass) respectively.

Icariside II, a flavonol glycoside, was isolated from the aerial part of Epimedium Koreanum Nakai by the anti-hepatotoxic acitivity guided fractionation technique employing $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hepatocytes as an assay system. Its anti-hepatotoxic activity was evaluated by measuring activity of glutamic pyruvic transaminase released from the $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hapatocytes. Icariside II significantly reduced the activity of glutamic pyruvic transaminase released from the $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hepatocytes and resulted in 78% recovery of the toxicity at the concentration of $200{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$. The anti-hepatotoxic activity of icariside II on the $CCl_4-in-toxicated$ primary cultured rat hepatocytes was as potent as that of silybin.

The needles of L. kaempferi was extracted with 95% ethanol and successively partitioned with n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$ and EtOAc. Repeated column chromatography on the EtOAc and $H_2O$ soluble fractions gave three flavan-3-ols, one flavone glycoside, six flavonol glycosides and one lignan derivative. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidences. The antioxidant activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging method. Flavan compounds indicated good antioxidative potentials compared with BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol as controls. In the anti-inflammatory test on most of the isolated compounds, NO (nitric oxide) assay against the RAW 264.7 (Mouse Macrophage) showed similar inhibitory potentials to NO production of the control. The cytotoxicity was determined by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and most of the isolated compounds indicated no toxicity in various concentration.

Reactive oxygen species are capable of damaging biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, which can not only lead to various diseases, but also oxidative damage resulting aging. In our previous study, Cercis chinensis (Leguminosae) showed a potent antioxidant activity. Twenty compounds including a new flavonol glycoside were isolated through antioxidant activity-guided fractionation. C. chinensis and some of the constituents exhibited a potent antioxidant activity on the free radicals and lipid peroxidation and a notable protective effect on the t-BuOOH induced oxidative damage.

Buckwheat contains dietary rutin, a flavonol glycoside, which is able to antagonize hypertension in human and has antioxidant activity. Monacolin K, a secondary metabolite produced by fungi Monascus species, is an effective specific inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis. To develop functional health food, dehulled buckwheat was fermented with Manascus ruber to produce Anka, and contents of rutin and monacolin K and Anka were determined. The rutin content in dehulled buckwheat decreased slightly after germination, but increased with the growth of sprout. Growth of fungi had no influence on rutin content in dehulled buckwheat Anka, Monacolin K content in fermented dehulled buckwheat malt was lower than that in dehulled buckwheat Anka. Monacolin K content in dehulled buckwheat Anka decreased with increasing length of sprout in fermented dehulled buckwheat malt, probably due to consumption of nutrients, such as polysaccharides as carbon sources, during sprouting for growth of M. ruber.

Fifteen populations comprising three taxa and a putative hybrid of Fallopia sect. Reynoutria in Korea were examined for their leaf flavonoid constituents. Nineteen flavonoid compounds were isolated and identified; they were glycosylated derivatives of the flavonols quercetin and kaempferol, and of the flavones apigenin and luteolin. Among them, quercetin 3-O-galactoside and quercetin 3-O-glucoside were major flavonoid constituents, and present in all taxa. The flavonoid data appear to be very useful for taxon delimitation, and all taxa examined are readily distinguished by their flavonoid profiles. In addition, the flavonoid data suggest that the Nonsan population may be of hybrid origin involving F. japonica var. japonica, F. forbesii, and F. sachalinensis. In F. japonica var. japonica, there is no apparent correlation between their levels of polyploidy and flavonoid chemistry, but geographical variation of the flavonoid profiles among some populations was detected.

Fallen needles (8.5kg) of Larix kaempferi were separately collected, extracted with 95% EtOH. EtOH extract was evaporated under reduced pressure, concentrated then successively fractionated with a series of hexane, methylene chloride, ethylacetate and water on a separatory funnel. Then, each fraction was freeze dried. A portion of ethylacetate and water soluble powder were packed on a column chromatography (Sephadex LH-20) eluting with aqueous MeOH and EtOH-hexane mixture. Spectrometric analyses such as NMR and FAB-MS including TLC were performed to characterize the structures of isolated compounds. 5 compounds were isolated from the fallen needles of Larix kaempferi. The antioxidative activities of each fraction and isolated compounds were done by DPPH radical scavenging test.

The methanol extract from the aerial parts of Aceriphyllum rossii was fractionated into ethyl acetate, n-BuOH and $H_2O$ layers through solvent fractionation. Repeated silica gel column chromatography of EtOAc and n-BuOH layers afforded five flavonol glycosides. They were identified as astragalin (1), kaempferol 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1${\rightarrow}$6)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (2), rutin (3), kaempferol 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1${\rightarrow}$4)-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl 1${\rightarrow}$6)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (4), and quercetin 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1${\rightarrow}$4)-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1${\rightarrow}$6)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (5) on the basis of spectroscopic data. All of them showed an inhibition in farnesyl protein tranferase (FPTase) activity, and rutin (3) inhibited the growth of rat H-ras cell and the cell migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

As a series of the studies on the specific and indigenous plants of Mt. Halla, the constituents from stem of Rhamnus taquetii (Rhamnaceae) were investigated. From the water fraction of the MeOH extract, a new flavonol glycoside, kaempferide-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1->3)-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-6)-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside, was isolated with three known compounds, quercetin, quercetin-3-methylether, kaempferol, by column chromatographic separation using Amberlite XAD-2, ODS-gel and Sephadex LH-20 and elucidated physico-chemical evidences($^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR$,IR, EI-Mass, FAB-Mass, and G.C.),respectively.

This study investigated the effects of ombuoside, a flavonol glycoside, on dopamine biosynthesis in PC12 cells. Ombuoside at concentrations of 1, 5, and $10{\mu}M$ increased intracellular dopamine levels at 1 - 24 h. Ombuoside (1, 5, and $10{\mu}M$) also significantly increased the phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) (Ser40) and cyclic AMP-response element binding protein (CREB) (Ser133) at 0.5 - 6 h. In addition, ombuoside (1, 5, and $10{\mu}M$) combined with L-DOPA (20, 100, and $200{\mu}M$) further increased intracellular dopamine levels for 24 h compared to L-DOPA alone. These results suggest that ombuoside regulates dopamine biosynthesis by modulating TH and CREB activation in PC12 cells.
