Farnesyl Protein Transferase (FPTase) catalyses a post-translational modification of Ras that is obligatory for the cell transforming activity of this oncogene protein. The screening of natural products to identify inhibitors of this enzyme as a potential anticancer agents, has led to the isolation of a novel lactone, from the hydroid Solanderia secunda. Solandelactone G has been isolated from the hydroid Solanderia secunda collected along the offshore of Jaejudo and Keomunde. The structure of the compound has been determined as cyclopropane containing C$\_$22/ fatty acid lactone on the basis of the combined spectral and chemical methods

Three new sesquiterpene lactone glucosides named dentatins A, B and C were isolated from lxeris dentata and the structures were elucidated as $3{\betha}, {\;}8{\betha}-dihydroxy-(1{\alpha}, 5{\alpha})guainan-10(14)-ene-6{\alpha}, {;\}12-olide-3-O-{\betha}-D-giucopyuranoside{\;}(1), {\;}3{\betha}, {\;}8{\betha}-dihydroxy-(1{\alpha}, {\;}5{\alpha})-guaian-4(15), {\;}10(14)-diene-6{\alpha}, {\;}12-plide-3-O-{\betha}-D-glucopyranoside{\;}(3)$, respectively, on the basis of spectral evidence.

We previously reported that the exogenous administration of cumambrin A, a sesquiterpene lactone from the dried flowers of Chrysanthemum boreale Makino has a pharmacological effect on normalization of blood pressure in the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In the present study, we further investigated the effect of cumambrin A on the relaxation of phenylephrine-induced precontracted rat aortic artery rings. The potency of cumambrin A was than compared to verapamil, a well known $Ca^{2+}-channel$ blocker. The results demonstrate that the isolated rat aortic arteries are relaxed to basal tension at a concentration of $5{\times}10^{-5}\;M$ cumambrin A treatment. The results also show that the phenylephrine-induced contraction is inhibited by a pretreatment of cumambrin A. Co-treatment of cumambrin A and verapamil showed a strong synergetic effect on the relaxation of rat aortic artery rings. Thus, these data demonstrate that cumambrin A is a potent relaxant of rat aortic smooth muscle and suggest that cumambrin A modulates intracellular or extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization.

Continuation of a phytochemical study of Cichorium intybus L. (Astraceae) growing in Egypt, resulted in the isolation and identification of a new sesquiterpene lactone 3,4-dihydrolactucin, in addition to the eight known compounds; kaempferol, isoscutellarin, cichoriin, umbelliferone, lupeol, lupeol acetate, ${\beta}-sitosterol$, and ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-glucoside$. Chemical structures of the isolated compounds were assigned based on different physical, chemical, and spectroscopic techniques including IR, UV, MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR spectra. Furthermore, the antimicrobial, and spasmogenic activities of some fractions and isolates were also assessed.

Three known sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the n-BuOH traction of the roots of Ixeris sonchifolia. Their structures were identified as macrocliniside A (1), glucozaluzanin C (2), and ixerin H (3), by spectral analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 are guaiane-type, while compound 3 is a germacrane-type sesquiterpene lactone. Compounds 1-3 are first isolated from I. sonchifolia.

The callus was induced from the seedlings of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Brig. (Labiatae) and the effects of culturing conditions on growth rate and essential oil formation of the callus were experimented. It was found in the experiments, that the proper culturing temperature is $23^{\circ}C$ and the addition of biosynthetic precursors(leucine, mevalonic acid lactone) inhibits the growth of the callus. The growth rate of the callus and the amount of essential oils of the callus in the medium containing NAA were higher than the medium containing 2,4-D. The essential oils from the callus and the leaves of the cultivated Schizonepeta tenuifolia showed different GC pattern, but pulegone was found in both oils.

인간이 서로 간의 의사소통을 위해 언어를 사용하듯이, 세균의 경우도 외부 환경 변화를 신속히 감지하여 서로 효과적으로 대응하기 위해서 주변 세포들과 소통할 수 있는 세균만의 독특한 화학적 언어를 사용하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히, 일정 세포 농도에 도달했을 때 자체적으로 생산된 화학적 신호를 통해 개체 수를 인지하고 그에 따라 특정 유전자의 발현을 동시에 조절하는 quorum sensing (QS) 기작은 다양한 세균 종들에서 광범위하게 존재한다. 본 연구는 다양한 천연물 추출물들을 대상으로 QS 저해 활성을 확인하였는데 QS 지시균주인 Agrobacterium tumefaciens NT1과 화학적으로 합성한 QS autoinducers을 사용한 bioassay를 수행하였다. 그 결과 양배추, 파, 양파의 추출물들에서 QS 저해 활성을 확인하였고, recycling preparative HPLC (prep-HPLC)를 통한 정제 과정을 통해, 83분 지점의 peak에 해당하는 성분들이 공통으로 QS 저해 활성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 그 QS 저해 성분을 QSI-83으로 지정하고 thin layer chromatography (TLC)를 통해 P. syringae pv. tabaci의 autoinducers 합성을 저해하는 활성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 열에 대한 안정성과 세균 생장에서의 영향을 조사하였는데, 그 결과 QSI-83은 열에 안정하며 세균의 생장에는 영향을 끼치지 않는 물질임을 확인하였다. 따라서 우리는 천연물로부터 분리된 새로운 성분이 QS 저해제로서 이용될 수 있음을 제안한다.

A sesquiterpene lactone, 1-O-acetyl-4R,6S-britannilactone (1) isolated from the flowers of Inula britannica L. var. chinensis (Rupr.) Reg. (Compositae), was found as an iNOS inhibitory constituent for the first time with an $IC_{50}$ value of 22.1 $\mu$ M which is more potent than the positive control, L-$N^6$-(1-iminoethyl)lysine ($IC_{50} =33.7 \mu$ M). Structure of compound 1 was identified by 1D and 2D NMR experiments and by comparison with the reference standard.
