In order to select superior tree from Korea, five major phenolic compounds including (-)-epicatechin(EC), chlorogenic acid (ChA), hyperoside (HP), isoquercitrin (IQ), and procyanidin B2 (PC-$B_2$) in hawthorn fruit were evaluated. We also compared these hawthorn fruits of five clones with Chinese hawthorn cultivars. HPLC with a diode-array detector was used to determine the contents of the individual compounds. Hawthorn fruits of five clones (selected from different area of Korea), and four Chinese hawthorn cultivars grown in the Korea Forest Research Institute (Suwon) were utilized. With their high functional components, Jungsun is the clone including the highest contents of EC (11.26 mg/g) and PC-$B_2$ (24.46 mg/g). The clone of Chuncheon 15 had highest HP (0.53 mg/g) and IQ (0.41 mg/g). From the results, the clone of Jungsun and Chuncheon 15 can be evaluated to be selected breeding material for cultivar development.

A methanol extract of mulberry cake prepared from mulberry fruits (Morus spp.) was shown to have strong scavenging activities against DPPH, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Eleven phenolic compounds were isolated from the mulberry cake by a combination of Diaion HP-20, silica gel (or polyamide), Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies, preparative HPLC and TLC. Their chemical structures were characterized as procatechuic acid (PCA), caffeic acid (CA), cyanidin 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (CyG) and cyanidin $3-O-\beta­D-rutinoside$ (CyR), rutin (RT), isoquercitrin (IQT), astragalin (AG), quercetin (QT), morin (MR), di-hydroquercetin (DHQ), and 4-prenylmoracin (PM) by spectral analysis and the published data. Most of the phenolic constituents were effective scavengers of DPPH, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, and especially caffeic acid and 4-prenylmoracin showed potent superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, in which their activities were higher than that of the well-known antioxidant, BHT (p< 0.05). Dehydroquercetin and quercetin also exhibited strong superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. These results suggest that mulberry cake containing antioxidant phenolic compounds may be useful as natural antioxidants in functional foods and cosmetics.

유기물질, 전이금속 및 유기-금속 구조체(MOFs)를 기반으로 하는 촉매들이 유기인 계열 독성물질들을 분해하고 제거하는데 효과적임이 보고되어 왔다. 최근 20년간 독성물질 분해연구를 위해 다공성 MOFs들이 응용 목적에 맞게 디자인되고 합성되었다. $Zr_6$ 기반의 금속노드와 유기결합체를 가지는 MOFs들은 세공크기, 공극률, 표면적, Lewis acidic 자리 그리고 열적 안정성 등과 같은 기본구조내의 변형이 가능하기 때문에 화학작용제, 살충제 및 제초제를 제거하는 촉매로 널리 사용되어왔다. 본 리뷰에서는 구조, 안정성, 입자크기, 연결된 리간드 수, 유기 기능기 등에 따른 MOFs들의 촉매효율과의 연관성을 다루게 될 것이다.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic informations for phenolic compounds by various sections of Acanthopanacis Caulis. The phenolic compounds of Korean Acanthopanacis bark and lignum (Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus, Acanthopanax koreanum) were measured by the HPLC analysis. The content of total phenolic components of Acanthopanax koreanum bark (1.532%) was about 9.9 times higher than that of Acanthopanax koreanum lignum (0.155%). And also, The content of total phenolic components of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus bark (0.420%) was about 2.8 times higher than that of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus lignum (0.149%). Eleutheroside E, a functional ingredient of Acanthopanacis Caulis, showed 3.6 times higher contents of Acanthopanax koreanum bark (0.144%) than Acanthopanax koreanum lignum (0.040%). In the case of Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus bark (0.129%), the content of the eleutheroside E was 1.7 times higher than that of the Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus lignum (0.074%).

This study aimed to identify the phytochemical constituents of Lactuca serriola leaves and perform quantitative analysis of the methanol (MeOH) extract of L. serriola, L. indica, L. raddeana, L. sativa, and L. triangulata. Six compounds were isolated from the MeOH extracts of L. serriola using open column chromatography and identified as protocatechuic acid (1), caffeic acid (2), cynaroside (3), apigenin 7-glucuronide (4), luteolin (5), and apigenin (6) using ¹H-, ¹³C-nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry. Quantitative analysis of the six compounds was performed on the MeOH extract of Lactuca species using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and an ultraviolet (UV). A reverse-phased column was used, and the UV absorbance was set to 280 nm. The contents of compounds 2 and 3 were the highest (1.58 and 2.64 mg/g ext., respectively) in L. serriola extracts. However, compounds 4 and 6 were higher (1.46 and 0.40 mg/g ext., respectively) in L. triangulata. These results provide quantitative data for the application of Lactuca species in the pharmaceutical and functional food industries.

Curcuma longa is a plant belonging to the genus Curcuma and is distributed across various Asian regions. This plant is widely known for its rhizomes, which possess a variety of pharmacological properties. However, although the leaves and stems of this plant also contain several health-promoting secondary metabolites, very few studies have characterized these compounds. Therefore, our study sought to quantify the secondary metabolites from the leaves and stems of Curcuma longa L. (LSCL) using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Our LC-ESI-MS analyses detected twenty-one phenolic compounds in the LSCL, among which fifteen compounds were detected via HPLC analysis. Four compounds, namely vanillic acid (0.129 mg/g), p-coumaric acid (0.431 mg/g), 4-methylcatechol (0.199 mg/g), and afzelin (0.074 mg/g) were then quantified. These findings suggest that LSCL is rich in secondary metabolites and holds potential as a valuable resource for the development of functional and nutritional supplements in the future.

New liquid-crystalline biphenyl carboxylates with an achiral swallow-tail derived from 1,3-dialkoxy-2-propanol $[(ROCH_2)_2CHOH$] where R is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, $CH_2CF_3$, and $CH_2CF_2CF_3$ were prepared. These achiral liquid crystals having 1,3-dialkoxy-2-propyl moieties exhibit diverse phase sequences [I-SmA-(SmC)-(SmCalt)-Cr] depending on the substituent R group of the swallow-tail. The compounds carrying a fluorinated swallow-tail exhibit antiferroelectric-like smectic C phases, and their temperature ranges are broader than the corresponding non-fluorinated swallow-tailed ones.

Photoaddition reactions between 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds and silyl enol ethers in acetonitrile and benzene were explored. Irradiation of acetonitrile or benzene solutions containing 1,2-diketone, acenaphthalquinone, phenanthrene-quinone and silyl enol ethers is observed to promote the production of 1,4-dioxenes, oxetanes, and ${\beta}$-hydroxyketone by the [4+2]-cycloadditon, Paterno-Buchi processes, and SET promoted Claisen-type condensation. Among these competitive pathways leading to the generation of each types of products, SET promoted 1,4-dioxene and ${\beta}$-hydroxyketone formation are more favored regardless of solvent polarity.

The antioxidative activity and the polyphenolic composition were examined in four different cultivars of apple (Malus domestica), 'Fuji', 'Tsugaru', 'Hongro' and 'Kogetsu', and their parts (peel, core, pulp and juice). The total phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanins differed among the tested cultivars and parts. Peel parts had the highest total phenolics and anthocyanin content. Contributions of those phenolics to total antioxidative activity were determined using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assays, and the linoleic acid oxidation assay. Concentration of phenolics contributes significantly to the total antioxidative activity of apples. Clearly, apple peels, especially from Hongros and Kogetsus, possess high levels of phenolic compounds and antioxidants. Therefore, apple peels may potentially function as a value-added ingredient.

For the [$Cr_2(H_2tmp)_2Cl_4$] compound, simplified models with two bridging methoxo ligands have been studied. The influence of the bridging Cr-O-Cr bond angles on the exchange coupling between metal atoms in the model compound has been analyzed by means of density functional calculations with the broken-symmetry approach. Coupling constant calculated for the full structure is in good agreement with the experimentally reported value, confirming the validity of the computational strategy used in this work to predict the exchange coupling in a family of related dinuclear Cr(III) compounds. The calculations indicate a good correlation between the calculated coupling constant and the sum of the squared energy gap of three pairs of metal $t_{2g}$ OMSOs with a limited variation of the Cr-O-Cr angle. The spin density distribution and the mechanism of magnetic coupling interactions are discussed.
