Twelve compounds were isolated from the MeOH extract of the leaf and stem of the Korean endemic plant Weigela subsessilis L. H. Bailey. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical and spectroscopic data and by comparison with those of published literatures. These compounds were identified as three sterols, ${\beta}$-sitosterol acetate (2), ${\beta}$-sitosterol (3), daucosterol (11), eight triterpenoids, squalene (1), ursolic acid (4), ilekudinol A (5), corosolic acid (6), ilekudinol B (7), esculentic acid (8), pomolic acid (9), asiatic acid (10), and one iridoid glycoside, alboside I (12). This is the first report pertaining to the isolation of these compounds from Weigela subsessilis L. H. Bailey. In addition, three compounds 7, 9, and 12 were found to display a strong inhibitory effect on the production of IL-8 in the HT29 cells stimulated by TNF-${\alpha}$.

In the course of screening for antioxidant compounds by measuring the radical scavenging effect on DPPH (1,1-diphenyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl), a total extract of the twigs of Vitex rotundifolia (Verbenaceae) was found to show potent antioxidant activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract led to the isolation of three iridoid compounds, 10-O-vanilloylaucubin (1), 10-O-p-hydroxybenzoylaucubin (2) and aucubin (3), two C-glycoside flavones, vitexin (4) and orientin (5), and a quinic acid derivative, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (6). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic studies. Among them, compounds 5 and 6 showed the significant antioxidative effects on DPPH free radical scavenging test. In riboflavin-NBT-light and xanthine-NBT-xanthine oxidase systems, compounds 5 and 6 exhibited the formation of the blue formazan in a dose-dependent manner. Compounds 5 and 6 showed better superoxide quenching activities than vitamin C.

It was obtained as amorphous powder and its molecular formula is $C_{17}H_{26}O_{11}$. Its structure was determined by chemical reactions, spectral analysis and compared with authentic sample of its pentaacetate.

Loganin은 Corni fructus의 주요 iridoid glycoside이며 항염증, 항당뇨 그리고 뇌신경보호 효과 등이 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 ${\alpha}-MSH$와 IBMX처리된 B16F10세포에서 loganin의 melanogenesis억제효과의 신호전달 경로를 조사하였다. Loganin의 미백 활성을 확인하기 위해 B16F10세포에서 $1{\mu}m$에서 $20{\mu}m$사이의 농도를 처리하여 세포독성 실험을 수행한 결과 최대 $20{\mu}m$농도에서 독성을 나타내지 않았다. 또한 loganin은 ${\alpha}-MSH$와 IBMX처리된 B16F10세포에서 농도-의존적으로 멜라닌 생성을 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 loganin의 멜라닌 생성을 억제하는 신호전달 경로를 Western blotting을 실시하여 조사하였다. Western blot결과에 따르면 loganin은 ${\alpha}-MSH$와 IBMX 처리된 B16F10세포에서 증가된 CREB인산화(Ser133)와 MITF 발현 및 tyrosinase의 유전자 발현을 감소시켰고 ERK의 인산화를 증가시켜 melanin 생성을 억제하였다. 결론적으로 loganin은 ${\alpha}-MSH$와 IBMX에 의해 유도된 과도한 멜라닌 합성을 CREB인산화와 MITF 및 tyrosinase의 유전자 발현을 억제하고 ERK의 활성화를 통해 멜라닌 합성을 감소됨을 확인하였다. 따라서 loganin은 과색소 침착과 관련된 피부질환의 보호제로서 활용될 가능성을 가지는 것으로 사료된다.

Dipsaci Radix (Dipsacaceae) has been used as a tonic, an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-complement agents in traditional herbal medicine for the therapy of low back pain, knee pain, rheumatic arthritis, traumatic hematoma, and bone fractures. A high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometric method (HPLC-ESI-MS) was developed for the simultaneous quantitation method of the five compounds from the herbal drug: asperosaponin VI and asperosaponin XII (terpene glycosides), sweroside, loganin and dipsacus A(iridoid glycosides). HPLC separation of the analytes was achieved on a C18 column ($150{\times}2.0$ mm i.d., 5 ${\mu}m$) using the aqueous methanol containing 5 mM ammonium acetate with gradient flow of the mobile phase. Detection of the analytes was performed by positive ion electrospray ionization, and selected ion monitoring was used for data acquisition using m/z corresponding molecular adduct ion, $[M+NH_4]^+$ and $[M+H]^+$. Calibration graphs showed good linearity ($r^2$=0.9997) over the wide range of the analytes; intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD, %) were within 9.1% and the accuracy between 94.0-111.0%. Recoveries of the analytes through the assay procedure were in the range of 93.7-110.8%. Analytical results of the herbal drugs of Dipsaci Radix (17 samples) show wide distribution of the five marker compounds and clear difference of the species from Phlomidis Radix (4 samples). The developed method would provide a practical guide for the quality control of the herbal drug.

Background: Rehmannia glutinosa is a perennial herb belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae. Its roots have been utilized as a traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to elucidate the basic information of the roots of the R. glutinosa cultivars and their utilization. Methods and Results: The roots of R. glutinosa cultivars were harvested in the end of March. The two iridoid glycosides, aucubin and catalpol, were analyzed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), whereas ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA) was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The aucubin content was the highest in the Dakang cultivar, whereas no aucubin was detected in the five cultivars. All cultivars had more than 12 mg/g catalpol content, and the maximum catalpol content was found in Jihwang 1. The GABA content was the highest in Suwon 1, and it was 40 times more than that in the Yeongang cultivar. Conclusions: The highest aucubin, catapol and GABA contents were detected in the Dakang, Jihwang 1, and Suwon 1, cultivars respectively. This study provides the crucial information regarding the versatile utilization and pedigree selection of R. glutinosa cultivars.

현삼(Scrophularia buergeriana) 뿌리를 80% Methanol수용액으로 추출한 뒤, 감압 농축한 추출물을 EtOAc, n-BuOH과 H₂O층으로 계통 분획을 실시하였다. n-BuOH분획에 대하여 silica gel, octadecyl SiO₂ column chromatograph 및 중압분취(MPLC) 장비를 반복 실시하여 4종의 phenylethanoid glycoside 및 iridoid glycoside계의 화합물을 분리하였다. NMR 및 Mass데이터를 해석하여, harpagoside (1), angoroside C (2), aucubin (3) 및 acetoside (4)로 구조 동정하였다. 분리한 4종의 화합물에 대하여 HPLC 분석법을 이용하여 정량분석한 결과, 11.5 mg/g (1), 7.6 mg/g (2), 41.2 mg/g (3), 및 4.8 mg/g (4) 이 현삼 뿌리에 함유된 것을 확인하였다. 현삼으로부터 분리된 화합물 중 angoroside C 및 acetoside는 에탄올에 의해 저해된 세포 성장률을 검증한 결과, 간암세포종인 HepG2세포에 대해서 간세포를 보호하는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Water fractions prepared from Plantaginis Semen and Plantaginis Folium exhibited both significant liver-protective activities against $CCl_4$ intoxication. Aucubin, an iridoid glycoside. isolated from both leaves and seeds of Plantago asiatica(Plantaginaceae) also showed potent liver protective activities against the animal model of hepatitis induced by $CCl_4$ intoxication.
