  • This research was conducted in order to understand the hybridization between Quercus aliena Blume and Q. serrata Murray in Korea which show wide range of morphological variations within species and interspecific variations of diverse overlapping characteristics caused by hybridization. Morphological analysis (principal components analysis; PCA) of 116 individuals representing two species and their intermediates were performed. As a result, two species were clearly distinguished in terms of morphology, and intermediate morpho-types assumed to be hybrids between the two species were mostly located in the middle of each parent species in the plot of the principal components analysis. There was a clear distinction between two species in trichome distribution pattern which is an important diagnostic character in taxonomy of genus Quercus, whereas intermediate morpho-types showed intermediate state between two species' trichome distributions. Forty-two individuals representing two species and their intermediates were examined for leaf flavonoid constituents. Twenty-three flavonoid compounds were isolated and identified: They were glycosylated derivatives of flavonols, kaempferol, quercetin, isorhamnetin and myricetin. The flavonoid constituents of Q. aliena were five glycosylated derivatives: kaempferol 3-O-galactoside, kaempferol 3-O-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-galactoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, and Isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside. The flavonoid constituents of Q. serrata had 20 diverse flavonol compounds including five flavonoid compounds found in Q. aliena. It was found that there is a clear difference in flavonoid constituents of Q. aliena and Q. serrata. Flavonoid chemistry is very useful in recognizing each species and putative hybrids. The flavonoid constituents of intermediates were a mixture of the two species' constituents and they generally showed similar characteristics to morpho-types. The hybrids between Q. aliena and Q. serrata showed morphologically and chemically diverse characteristics and it is assumed that there are frequent interspecific hybridization and introgression.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Obesity, characterized by abnormal fat accumulation and metabolic disturbances, presents a significant health challenge. Opuntia humifusa Raf., commonly known as Korean Cheonnyuncho, is rich in various beneficial compounds and has demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its potential impact on glucose and lipid metabolism, particularly in obese rats, remains unexplored. We aimed to investigate whether O. humifusa stems and fruits could beneficially alter glucose metabolism and lipid profiles in a rat model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. MATERIALS/METHODS: Thirty-two rats were allocated into 4 groups: normal diet (NF), HFD control (HF), HFD treated with 2% O. humifusa stems (HF-OS), and HFD treated with 2% O. humifusa fruits (HF-OF). Experimental diets were administered for 6 weeks. At the end of the treatment, liver and fat tissues were isolated, and serum was collected for biochemical analysis. The major flavonoid from O. humifusa stems and fruits was identified and quantified. RESULTS: After 6 weeks of treatment, the serum fasting glucose concentration in the HF-OS group was significantly lower than that in the HF group. Serum fasting insulin concentrations in both HF-OS and HF-OF groups tended to be lower than those in the HF group, indicating a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity in the HF-OS group. Additionally, the HF-OS group exhibited a tendency towards the restoration of adiponectin levels to that of the NF group. CONCLUSION: The 2% O. humifusa stems contain abundant quercetin and isorhamnetin, which alter fasting blood glucose levels in rats fed a HFD, leading to a favorable improvement in insulin resistance.

  • Two soyasaponins were isolated from the aerial parts of Astragalus tribuloides Del. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods. In addition, ursolic acid, ${\beta}-sitosterol\;{\beta}-D-glucoside$ and isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside were isolated and identified by comparing their mp, spectral and chromatographic data with those of authentic samples. This is the first report of screening and isolation of the chemical constituents of this species of genus Astragalus.

  • The herb of Artemisia capillaris in Chinese medicine is used to treat hepatic diseases. In this research, qualitative analysis was performed using a UPLC/Q-TOF-ESI-MS/MS method for rapid identification of phenolic substances from A. capillaris: three caffeoylquinic acids (chlorogenic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid), three flavonoids (hyperoside, isorhamnetin 3-O-robinobioside and quercetin) and three prenylated coumarins (6,8-diprenylumbelliferone, cedrelopsin and osthol) were identified. The three prenylated coumarins have not been reported from A. capillaris.

Their structures were identified as apigenin (1), genistein (2), chrysoeriol (3), genistein 7-O-glucoside (4), kaempferol 3-O-glucoside (5), isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside (6) and apigenin 7-O-glucoside (7) on the basis of spectral data. These compounds were isolated from C. trichotomum for the first time. The antioxidant activity of compounds 1-7 were evaluated by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) assay, and the ORAC values were expressed as relative trolox equivalent. All isolated compounds exhibited antioxidant activity.
