Hamamelis japonica (Hamamelidaceae), widely known as Japanese witch hazel, is a deciduous flowering shrub that produces compact clumps of yellow or orange-red flowers with long and thin petals. As a part of our ongoing search for phenolic constituents from this plant, eleven phenolic constituents including six flavonol glycosides, a chalcone glycoside, two coumaroyl flavonol glycosides and two galloylated compounds were isolated from the flowers. Their structures were elucidated as methyl gallate (1), myricitrin (2), hyperoside (3), isoquercitrin (4), quercitrin (5), spiraeoside (6), kaempferol 4'-O-β-glucopyranoside (7), chalcononaringenin 2'-O-β-glucopyranoside (8), trans-tiliroside (9), cis-tiliroside (10), and pentagalloyl-O-β-D-glucose (11), respectively. These structures of the compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic studies including the on-line LCNMR-MS and conventional NMR techniques. Particularly, directly coupled LC-NMR-MS afforded sufficient structural information rapidly to identify three flavonol glycosides (2 - 4) with the same molecular weight in an extract of Hamamelis japonica flowers without laborious fractionation and purification step. Cytotoxic effects of all the isolated phenolic compounds were evaluated on HCT116 human colon cancer cells, and pentagalloyl-O-β-D-glucose (11) was found to be significantly potent in inhibiting cancer cell growth.

As part of our ongoing study focused on the discovery of antioxidants from natural products by measuring the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, methanol extract of flowers of Carthamus tinctorius L. was found to show potent antioxidant activity. Activity-guided fractionation of the methanol extract lead to the isolation of twenty compounds including two flavonol glycosides, quercertin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (12) and kaempferol-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (18), two flavanone glycosides, (2S)-4',5,6,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone 6-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (15) and (2R)-5,7,8',4-tetrahydroxyflavanone 8-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (16), and two acetylenic glycosides, 8Z-decaene-4,6-diyne-1-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (13) and 4,6-decadiyne-1-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (14). Their chemical structures were identified by using spectroscopic analysis. Among them, compounds 12-18 were tested in DPPH assay. Compounds 13-16 were first reported to their antioxidant activity. Quercertin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (12) showed the most potent inhibitory effect on DPPH with $IC_{50}$ value of 56.7 ${\mu}M$.

육종효율 증진 및 소비확대를 위해 적색양파의 화학성분을 분석한 결과 S&P5294가 가장 높은 당 함량 및 감미도를 나타냈고 선발조합 모두 레드프라임, 썬파워에 비해 당 함량 및 감미도가 높았으며, pyruvic acid는 레드프라임=S&P5295> S&P5294=S&P7273>S&P5296=S&P7276>레드썬=썬파워 순으로 함량이 낮았다. 총 페놀과 총 플라보노이드 함량 또한 선발조합 대부분이 레드프라임, 썬파워에 비해서는 함량이 높고 레드썬에 비해서는 낮은 함량을 보였다. Rutin은 모든 품종에서 가장 높은 함량(136.9-$169.9{\mu}g{\cdot}g^{-1}$ F.W.)을 보였으며, quecetin과 myricetin의 함량은 각각 62.5-135.7, 11.2-$16.1{\mu}g{\cdot}g^{-1}$ 보였고 kaempferol은 검출되지 않았다. Quercetin과 rutin은 레드썬에서, myricetin은 S&P5296에서 유의적으로 가장 높은 함량을 보였고 선발조합 모두 레드프라임, 썬파워에 비해 rutin, quercetin 및 myricetin의 함량이 높았다. 지역별로는 총페놀, 총플라보노이드 함량은 함평지역이 가장 높은 반면 ruin, myricetin 및 quercetin의 함량은 창녕지역이 가장 높은 함량을 보였다. 안토시아닌의 경우는 레드썬에 비해서는 다소 함량이 낮으나 레드프라임에 비해서는 선발조합 모두 높은 함량을 나타내었다.
