Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum are the two important postharvest pathogens in citrus, causing about 90% of the total loss of citrus fruit during storage and transportation. Natural fungicides such as essential oils have been widely used instead of chemical fungicides for preventing and controlling postharvest diseases. In this research, p-anisaldehyde exhibited a strong inhibitory effect on P. digitatum and P. italicum, with the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum fungicidal concentration values of both being 2.00 μl/ml. Additionally, p-anisaldehyde visibly inhibited both the green mold and blue mold development of citrus fruits inoculated with P. digitatum and P. italicum. The mycelia morphologies of these pathogens were greatly altered, and the membrane permeability and cell wall integrity of mycelia were severely disrupted under p-anisaldehyde treatment. These results suggest that the antifungal activity of p-anisaldehyde against P. digitatum and P. italicum can be attributed to the disruption of the cell wall integrity.

The michael adducts 2a, b were obtained from the reaction of the phenylacelyl derivative 1 with benzadehyde and p-anisaldehyde and p-anisaldehyde respectively. 2a and 2b were subjected to react with cyanoethanoic acid hydrazide, malononitrile, cyanothioacetamide, cyanoacetamide and 1, 1, 3-tricyano-2-amino propene to yield 4a-h and 5a, b respecitively. Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of 2a, b gave the aurone derivative 6a, b. The pyone derivatives 8a, b were obtained from 2a, b by addition of chioroacetyl chioride followed by dehydrochlorination.

Objectives : The Illicii Veri Fructus was not only traditional medicine but also food in Asia. The aim of this study was selection of optimum solvent in the fruit of Illicii Veri Fructus because an appropriate solvent affect a medicinal effect. Methods : Illicii Veri Fructus was carried out ultrasonic-assisted extraction as various solvents. Two main compounds, p-anisaldehyde and anethole, were successfully analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector (HPLC-PDA) and carried out method validation according to ICH guideline. The optimum solvent selected by comparing with yields of two main ingredients. Results : The p-anisaldehyde and anethole were detected at approximately 8.0 min and 19.8 min, respectively. It was all below 5.0% that RSD of retention time and peak area for two main peaks. Calibration curves of two compounds were good linearity as $R^2$ >0.9999. All of the precisions and accuracy were good intra-day and inter-day as below 5.0% RSD. Limited of detection (LOD) of p-anisaldehyde and anethole were analyzed as $0.134{\mu}g/mL$ and $4.286{\mu}g$, respectively. Limited of quantification (LOQ) of two compounds were $0.407{\mu}g$ and $12.989{\mu}g$, respectively. As a result of this study, p-anisladehyde was detected as 0.209 ~ 0.467%, however anethole was not detected in the distilled water. Conclusions : Anethole was main component as 5.329 ~ 6.815% except for water extraction. Methanol extraction among various solvents was detected the highest contents of p-anisaldehyde and anethole as 0.467(${\pm}0.008$)% and 6.815(${\pm}0.220$)%, respectively.

골격근은 대사, 열기반 온도 조절, 그리고 전반적인 체내 균형을 위해 필수적인 조직이고 근발생(myogenesis)이라는 다단계 과정을 거쳐서 근관세포를 형성한다. p-아니스알데하이드(p-anisaldehyde, PAA) (4-메톡시벤잘데하이드)는 아니스 씨에서 추출된 에센셜 오일의 주성분이지만, 골격근에서의 기능은 아직까지 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서, 우리는 마우스 C2C12 근육모세포를 이용하여 근육분화가 PAA에 의해 영향을 받는지를 연구하였다. C2C12 근육모세포의 분화를 유도하기 위해 이 세포를 분화배지에서 5일동안 배양하였고, 매일 PAA (50 또는 200 ㎍/mL)를 포함하는 새로운 배지로 교체하였다. 대조군으로서 PAA가 포함되지 않은 배지를 사용하였다. 우리는 분화시작 후 1, 3, 5일째에 근관세포의 길이와 지름을 측정함으로써 PAA가 근관 형성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였고, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction 분석을 통해 PAA가 근육 표지인자(myoblast determination protein 1, myogenin, myocyte enhancer factor 2C, muscle creatine kinase, 및 myosin heavy chain)와 근육위축 관련 유전자(atrogin-1과 muscle ring finger-1 [MuRF-1])의 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 주요 근육형성 키나아제인 protein kinase B (Akt)의 인산화를 웨스턴 블롯을 이용해 관찰하였다. 그 결과 PAA가 더 작고 얇은 근관 형성을 유의하게 유발하며 근육 표지인자의 발현을 감소시킨다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, atrogin-1과 MuRF-1의 발현이 PAA에 의해서 감소하였는데, 이는 Akt 인산화의 감소와 일치하는 결과이다. 결론적으로, 본 연구결과는 PAA가 Akt 인산화와 활성화를 감소시킴으로써 C2C12 세포에서의 근육 분화를 억제하는 역할을 한다는 것을 증명한다.

In the course of surveying the anti-plaque agents for dental caries prevention, the extract of Korean green tea leaves (KGTL) was tested for inhibitory activity against Streptococcus mutans adhering to glass surfaces in the presence of crude glucosyltransferase (GTase). The extracts of KGTL showed a positive inhibitory activity against GTase. The active compound was purified through Sephadex LH-20 and MCI gel CHP-20P columns. A positive reaction was shown in the anisaldehyde-$H_2SO_4$ test, which confirmed the condensed tannin. The inhibitory compound was identified as 3-galloylprocyanidin $B_3$ through IR, negative FAB-mass, and $^{1}H$-NMR spectroscopic analyses. Acetone extract and 3- galloylprocyanidin $B_3$ of KGTL showed inhibitory effect against GTase. The percent of inhibition was determinated to be 71.84% (P<0.01) with 10 mM 3-galloylprocyanidin B3. The 3-galloylprocyanidin $B_3$, which possessed a galloyl, showed a higher inhibitory activity against glucosyltransferase than monomeric (+)-catechin and procyanidine $B_3$ which had no galloyl group.

For the quality control of crude drug drink preparations, methods for identification of cinnamon components and quantitative determination of cinnamic acid were established. Cinnamon components were identified by TLC with benzene/ethyl acetate (1:1, v/v) on silica gel plate by spraying p-anisaldehyde-sulfuric acid. Cinnamic acid contents were determined at UV 280 nm by HPLC on $\mu$-Bondapak Cls column with acetonitrile/water/acetic acid (40:60:2, v/v). Recoveries of cinnamic acid in three crude drug drink preparations were between 84.1-90.2% compared to the content of the cinnamon extract.

Betulinic acid and alphitolic acid, the triterpenoids of Zyziphi Fructus, were isolated with silica gel column chromatography and used as the standard substances for the analysis. The compounds were determined with HPLC and HPTLC. They were separated on reversed phase column (Nova-Pak C18) with 0.05M Na2HPO4-methanol (19:81) in HPLC and detected at 210nm. Separation on HPTLC precoated silica gel F254 plates was carried out with chloroform-methanol (6:1) and the separated compounds were reacted with p-anisaldehyde and detected at 540nm. The contents of betulinic acid and alphitolic acid in Zyziphi Fructus from four different regions in Korea were in the range of 2.9~3.8% and 3.2~3.9%, respectively.
