Recently, a phytoestrogenic functional food has been developed using the fruits of Sophora japonica. Phytochemical investigation of fruits of S. japonica led to the isolation of eight flavonoid glycosides using various chromatographic techniques. The isolated compounds were identified as genistin (1), sophoricoside (2), genistein 7,4'-di-O-β-D-glucopyransoide (3), sophorabioside (4), genistein-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside-4'-O-[(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside] (5), sophoraflavonoloside (6), nicotiflorin (7) and kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), respectively, by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. In addition, a new HPLC-DAD method for simultaneous determination of the isolated compounds was developed to quantitate the contents of flavonoids in S. japonica and S. flavescens. The method was validated in terms of limit of detection, limit of quantitation, specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The validated method was successfully applied to determine eight flavonoids in two Sophora species. The contents of eight flavonoids varied according to the parts and species. Particularly, it was found that only the fruits of S. japonica contained sophoricoside, a phytoestrogenic isoflavone.

Under the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in immune enhancement and anti-obesity is increasing. Thus, in this study, we investigated whether Kadsura japonica fruits (KJF) exhibits immunostimulatory activity and anti-obesity activity. KJF increased the production of immunostimulatory factors and phagocytosis in RAW264.7 cells. Inhibition of TLR2 and TLR4 blocked KJF-mediated production of immunostimulatory factors in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, the inhibition of MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway reduced KJF-mediated production of immunostimulatory factors, and the activation of MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by KJF suppressed the inhibition of TLR2/4. KJF attenuated the lipid accumulation and the protein expression such as CEBPα, PPARγ, perilipin-1, adiponectin, and FABP4 related to the lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. In addition, KJF inhibited excessive proliferation of 3T3-L1 cells and protein expressions such as β-catenin and cyclin D1 related to cell growth. These findings indicate that KJF may have immunostimulatory activity and anti-obesity activity.

Here we reported two unrecorded naturalized species from Korean flora. Andropogon virginicus L. of Graminaeae and Euphorbia postrata Aiton of Euphorbiaceae are collected from Dong-gu, Ulsan-si and Sinjindo-ri, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do respectively. A. virginicus L. was easily distinguishable from Themeda triandras var. japonica Makino by keel on glume, 2-4 racemes and long hairy rachis. Thus, the new Korean name, 'Na-do-sol-sae', was given. E. postrata Aiton was cleary distinguished from related taxa by hairs on only edges of fruits. The new Korean name, 'Nu-un-ttang-bin-dae' was given considering the species epithet. Descriptions, illustrations and photographs showing habitat were given.

This study was conducted to analysis the ecological characteristics of "Wando HolIy"$(llex{\times}wandoensis)$ which is expecting as a possible ornamental tree with its beautiful leaves, flowers and fruits, and to find special breeding material which have particular characteristics and also provide correct environmental information which are required for commercial cultivation. The hill of Galmoon-Ri, Gunoei-Myon, Jeonnam Province, Korea, were reported as a original habitat of native $llex{\times}wandoensis$. The investigation shows that soil pH of native habitat was 6.18, hardness was 2.39, humidity was 38.6%, direction of slope is SSW, and average inclination was $15^{\circ}. The vegetation around $I.{\times}wandoensis$ is occupied by trees like an Quercus variabilis, Q. serrata, Q. acuta and so on. These are mixed forest of deciduous trees. Tree height reached up to about 12m and its coverage is about 30%. Q. salicina, Camellia japonica, I. integra, Cryptomeria japonica account for sub-tree layer. Tree height is around 8m and coverage is about 20%. Shrub layer was taken by Viburnum furcatum, Callicarpa japonica, Styrax japonica, Eurya japonica, Lindera obtusiloba, Ligustrum japonicum, Smilax china, Cornus walteri etc. Tree height reaches around l.2m and coverage is around 20%.

Four isoflavonoids and three flavonoids, and a gallotannin were isolated from the fruits of Sophora japonica (Leguminosae). Their structures were identified as genistein (1), sophoricoside (2), genistein-4'-O--L-rhamnopyranoside (3), $genistein-4'-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosly-(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (4), $kaempferol-3-O-{\alpha}-D-sophoroside$ (5), $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosly-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (6), rutin (7) and gallic acid $4-O-{\beta}-D-(6'-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside$ (8) by chemical and spectroscopic analysis and comparisons with previously reported spectral data. Compounds 3 and 8 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Anti-oxidative activity was evaluated for the isolated compounds. 8 exhibited potent anti-oxidative activity against the radical scavenging ability of DPPH with the $IC_{50}$ value of $17.1\;{\mu}g/ml$.

본 연구에서는 천연물유래 기능성 식의약품 소재로써 회화나무의 이용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 회화나무 꽃(괴화), 열매(괴각), 가지(괴지)를 에탄올에 추출한 다음 회화나무 부위별 추출물의 항산화 활성과 항균활성을 조사하였다. 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과, 총 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량은 괴각, 괴지에 비해 괴화 추출물에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났지만, ABTS 라디칼 소거능과 DPPH 라디칼 소거능, ORAC 지수는 괴지 추출물에서 높게 나타났다. 회화나무 추출물 중 괴지 추출물이 P. gingivalis에 대해 가장 우수한 항균활성을 나타내었으며, MIC는 0.2 mg/ml이였다. 또한, 괴지 추출물은 0.4 mg/ml 이하의 농도에서는 P. gingivalis에 대해 정균작용을 나타내었고, 0.6 mg/ml 이상의 농도에서는 살균작용을 나타내었다. 괴지 추출물(0.2-2.0 mg/ml)이 처리된 배양액에서 P. gingivalis KCTC5352의 바이오필름 형성과 세균 생육은 추출물의 농도가 증가할수록 농도의존적으로 억제되는 경향을 나타내었고, 섬모 관련 유전자인 fimA와 mfa1의 mRNA 발현도 괴지 추출물의 농도가 증가할수록 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 회화나무 추출물 중 괴지 추출물은 항산화 활성이 높고, P. gingivalis에 대해 낮은 농도에서는 정균작용을 하고, 높은 농도에서는 살균작용을 하는 항균 소재일 뿐만 아니라 P. gingivalis의 섬모 유전자 발현을 억제함으로써 초기 치면세균막 형성을 억제할 수도 있기 때문에 기능성 식의약품소재로서 개발 가능성이 높다고 판단된다.

Sophoricoside analogs are natural isoflavonoids isolated from fruits of Sophora japonica L. and exhibited an inhibitory effect on IL -5. Many synthetic variations on isoflavonoids has been reported. but relatively few examples of quinolone analogs have been described. As part of our endeavor to develop novel and effective IL-5 inhibitor, we have synthesized azaisoflavones by cyclization of the key intermediate, 2'-aminochalocone obtained from substituted aniline. The synthesized azaisoflavones were evaluated for their inhibitory activtities on IL-5 comparing with natural Sophoricoside analogs. None of the azaisoflavones showed promixing inhibitory effects In the assay. Nevertheless. assay data Indicated that 5.7-phenolic hycroxy groups on the A-ring and alkyl subsitiuent on N1 seemed to play an importnt role in the IL-5 bioassay.

As part of the research for the natural products about prostate-related disease, this study screened 159 plant species from 46 families, which included a total of 213 different kinds of local native plants and these plants were tested for the ability to inhibit LNCaP proliferation, an androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell line, and DU145 proliferation, which is a more aggressive androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cell line. The results indicated that nineteen of 213 types of plants exhibited antiproliferative activity (cell viability < 30%, $500{\mu}g/mL$) on the growth of androgen-sensitive LNCaP cell lines, and five of them exhibited DU145 cell antiproliferative activity (cell viability < 30%, $500{\mu}g/mL$). The methanol extracts of Eurya emarginata (stems), Gleditsia japonica var. koraiensis (leaves), Photinia glabra (leaves) and Elaeagnus macrophylla (leaves) showed antiproliferative activity on both the androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells (cell viability < 30%) and androgen-insensitive DU145 cells (cell viability > 100%). The study also found that the methanol extracts of Styrax japonica (fruits), Aralia continentalis (leaves), Fagus crenata var. multinervis (stems), Thuja orientalis (stems) and Poncirus trifoliate (branches) presented the strongest activity and demonstrated potent antiproliferative activity on both cell lines (LNCaP and DU145 cell viability < 30%).
