A chemical examination of the aerial parts of Euphorbia pekinensis $R_{UPRECHT}$. (Euphorbiaceae) has led to the isolation of seven hydrolyzable tannins and ten fl avonoid glycosides. The former ones have been identified as gallic acid, methylgallate, 3-O-galloyl shikimic acid, 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-galloyl-${\beta}-_D$-glucose, 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-${\beta}-_D$-glucose, corilagin, geraniin and the latter ones as isoquercitrin, quercitrin, astragalin, afzelin, prunin, rutin, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, quercetin-3-O-(2"-O-galloyl)-${\beta}-_D$-glucoside and quercetin-3-O-(2"-O-galloyl)-${\alpha}-_L$-rhamnoside on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence.

A $CH_3Cl$ extract from the flower of Lonicera japonica (Lauraceae) significantly protected primary cultures of rat cortical cells injured by the excitotoxic amino acid, L-glutamate. Loganin (1), secoxyloganin (2), caffeic acid (3) rutin (4), hyperoside (5), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (6), lonicerin (7), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (8), luteolin-7-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (9), quercetin (10) and luteolin (11) were isolated by bioactivity-guided fractionation from the $CH_3Cl$ fraction and further separated using chromatographic techniques. Caffeic acid, lonicerin, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, quercetin and luteolin had significant neuroprotective activities against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultures of rat cortical cells at concentrations ranging from $0.1{\mu}M$ to $10.0\;{\mu}M$.

Further phytochemical investigation on the whole plant of Thyrsanthera suborbicularis, collected in Cambodia, led to kaempferol (1), vitexin (2), apigenin-7-O-neohesperidoside (3), chrysoeriol-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (4), isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside (5), kaempferol-3-O-[${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(13)-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(16)-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside (6), kaempferol-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(12)-O-[${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl (16)]-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (7), kaempferol-3-O-[6"-O-(E)-p-coumaroyl]-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (8), kaempferol-3-O-[6"-O-(E)-p-coumaroyl]-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside (9), and amentoflavone (10). All the structures were confirmed by the interpretation of NMR (1D and 2D) and MS data, and comparison with the published values. Of the isolated compounds 1 - 10, compounds 8 and 10 displayed the inhibitory activity against NO production in LPS-induced Raw 264.7 cells with $IC_{50}$ values, 3.56 and $15.73{\mu}M$, respectively.

2kg of pollen extracted with EtOH(98%), concentrated, and fractionated with a series of hexane, CH$_2$Cl$_2$ EtOAc and $H_2O$ on a separately funnel. Each fraction was freeze dried to give dark-brown powder and EtOAc soluble portion of the powder was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column using a series of aqueous methanol as eluents. Spectrometric analysis such as NMR and FAB-MS including TLC were performed to characterize the structures of isolated compounds. Pollen contained a small amount of flavonol derivatives such as quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and kaempferol-3-O-$\beta$-D-rutinoside in addition to a small amount of flavanonol compound such as aromadendrin-5-methyl ether and acid compound such as.

Compounds 1-7 were isolated for first time from this plant. These compounds were evaluated their cytotoxic activity against P-388 murine leukimia cells in vitro. Among those compounds kaempferol (1) and quercetin (2) showed strongest cytotoxic activity with $IC_{50}$ values of $4.45{\pm}0.05$ and $6.28{\pm}0.02{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

In this study, the antioxidative effects and component analysis of 50% ethanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction and aglycone fraction obtained from Annona muricata leaf were investigated. Free radical scavenging activities were performed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, total antioxidant capacities were estimated using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay and $^1O_2$ quenching effects were estimated. Free radical scavenging activities ($FSC_{50}$) of 50% ethanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction and aglycone fraction were 45.6, 29.8 and $18.0{\mu}g/mL$, and total antioxidant capacities ($OSC_{50}$) were 4.4, 1.1 and $2.8{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. As a result of $^1O_2$ quenching experiment, ethyl acetate and aglycone fraction showed similar activities to L-ascorbic acid used as a comparative control. The cellular protective effects of 50% ethanol extract on the $^1O_2-induced$ cellular damage of human erythrocytes were exhibited at concentration-dependent ($5-50{\mu}g/mL$). TLC and HPLC were used to analyse components in the ethyl acetate fraction and aglycone fraction of Annona muricata leaf. In ethyl acetate fraction, rutin (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside), kaempferol-3-O-neohesperidoside, nicotiflorin (kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside), p-coumaric acid were identified. In aglycone fraction, kaempferol was identified. These results suggest that the extracts of Annona muricata leaf have the applicability as antioxidant cosmeceutical ingredients.

The herbs of Orostachys japonicus (Crassulaceae) have been used to treat gastric cancer, gastric ulcer or hemorrhage. Flavonoid glycosides, mainly kaempferol (Kp)- and quercetin (Qc) glycosides, have been isolated from O. japonicus; however, no quantitative information on those flavonol glycosides and no peroxynitritescavenging activity of the Orostachys extracts have been reported. In this study, Kp- and Qc glycosides were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in eight Orostachys and a Meterostachys species including O. japonicas, O. margaritifolius, O. chongsunensis, O. minuta, O. ramosus, O. malacophylla, O. latiellipticus, O. iwarenge, O. iwarenge for. magnus, and Meterostachys sikokiana distributed or cultivated in Korea. Distinctively, O. margaritifolius contained two flavonol 3,7-di-O-glycosides of Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside and Kp 3-rhamnosyl-7-glucoside, but O. japonicus had two flavonol 3-O-rutinosides, Kp 3-rutinoside and Qc 3-rutinoside. The three species of O. margaritifolius (24.36 mg/g MeOH extract), O. japonicus (21.28 mg/g), and O. minuta (19.50 mg/g) showed relatively higher flavonoid contents. The flavonol glycosides were analyzed using eight standard compounds (Kp, Qc, Qc 3-O-rhamnoside, Qc 3-O-glucoside, Kp 3- O-rutinoside, Qc 3-O-rutinoside, Kp 3-O-rhamnosyl-7-O-glucoside, Kp 3,7-di-O-glucoside). The present HPLC method was validated to verify the linearity, precision, and accuracy. In addition, the peroxynitrite-scavenging activity was also discussed.

The antioxidant activity of Desmodium oldhami (Leguminosae) was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The methanolic extract of D. oldhami showed the strong antioxidant activity. Five compounds, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnopyranoside (afzeline) (1), quercetin-3-O-[$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}6$)-$\beta$-Dglucopyranoside] (rutin) (2), kaempferol-3-O-glucopyranoside (astragalin) (3), genistein-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (genistin) (4), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (5) were isolated from the active ethyl acetate soluble fraction of D. oldhami through repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Among them, compound 2 showed the most significant antioxidative effect on DPPH free radical scavenging test. Compounds 1-5 are reported for the first time from this plant.
