본 연구에서는 주요 어류 병원성 그람음성세균인 E. tarda 및 V. anguillarum에 대하여 14 종의 생약 추출물의 항균활성을 검색하였다. 그 결과, 감초, 지유 및 칠피 추출물이 항균활성을 나타냄을 밝혔다. 그 중, 가장 우수한 항균활성을 나타낸 칠피 추출물에 대하여 활성지향적인 분리기법을 적용하여 활성분획물인 EtOAc분획물로부터 항균활성물질 1종을 분리하고 페놀성 화합물인 methyl gallate로 동정하였다. methyl gallate는 실험에 사용된 E. tarda 및 V. anguillarum의 균주들의 증식을 효과적으로 저해하였으며 이에 대한 MIC는 모두 1 mg/ml로 측정되었다.

Amentoflavone is a plant biflavonoid that was isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the whole plant of Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) spring. 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy including DEPT, HMQC, and HMBC were used to determine its structure. Amentoflavone exhibited potent antifungal activity against several pathogenic fungal strains but had a very low hemolytic effect on human erythrocytes. In particular, amentoflavone induced the accumulation of intracellular trehalose on C. albicans as a stress response to the drug, and disrupted the dimorphic transition that forms pseudo-hyphae during pathogenesis. In conclusion, amentoflavone has great potential to be a lead compound for the development of antifungal agents.

Flavonol galactosides were isolated from the EtOAc fraction of Artemisia apiacea by repeated column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated as $isorhamnetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-galactoside$ (1) and $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-galactoside$ (2) by chemical and spectroscopic analysis. This is the first report on the isolation of compound 2 from this plant.

The content analysis of 6-gingerol, which is an active compound, in Zingiber spp. (Z. officinale and Z. mioga) and their commercial foods (ginger teas and powders) was conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography. A reverse phase system was used, with a gradient solvent system of water and acetonitrile. The 6-gingerol content was highest in the methanol extract of Z. officinale root (17.09 mg/g extract) and ginger powder B (15.92 mg/g extract). The results demonstrated that this method was simple and reliable for the quality control of Zingiber commercial foods.

Isovitexin, a marker compound with various pharmacological activities, in Lespedeza cuneata, was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with UV (HPLC/UV). There are no previous reports on using L. cuneata as the source material for the quantification of isovitexin. In this study, we developed an optimized method using HPLC-UV analysis, which was validated using various parameters. Our method demonstrated high specificity, and good separation of the chromatographic peak was achieved. Parameters such as linearity (r2≥0.9997), precision, and accuracy indicated that our proposed analytical method had good reliability and sensitivity. These results demonstrate the utility and convenience of our method for rapidly quantifying isovitexin in L. cuneata extracts.

Phytochemical investigation of the 80% MeOH extract from the leaves of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum resulted in the isolation of seventeen compounds; two terpenes, three norsesquiterpenes, one furofuran lignan, and eleven phenolic derivatives. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be trans-phytol (1), phytene-1,2-diol (2), icariside B2 (3), (6S,9S)-roseoside (4), sedumoside G (5), pinoresinol-4-O-glucoside (6), 2-methoxy-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (7), 2-hydroxy-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (8), Benzyl ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (9), methyl ferulate (10), trans-ferulic acid (11), methyl-p-hydroxycinnamate (12), glucosyl methyl ferulate (13), linocaffein (14), siringin (15), 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-ethyl-O-${\beta}$-Dglucopyranoside (16), and pseudolaroside C (17). All compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant.

A coumestan derivative, psoralidin (1) was found to be a cytotoxic principle of the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L (Leguminosae) with the IC_{50}$ values of 0.3 and 0.4 ug/ml against the HT-29 (colon) and MCF-7 (breast) human cancer cell lines, respectively. A coumarin, angelicin (2) was also isolated as a marginally cytotoxic agent along with an inactive compound, psoralene (3) from the plant. The isolates 1-3 were not active against the A54l(lung) and HepG2 (liver hepatoma) cancer cell lines.

In Korea, the leaves of Sonchus brachyotus (Compositae), an edible mountainous vegetable, are traditionally used to treat hepatitis and hemorrhage and are known to have diuretic action. The aqueous ethanolic extract of this plant was selected in our screening experiment using the peroxynitrite ($ONO_2^-$)-scavenging assay, and the present study was performed to qualitatively and quantitatively identify the active compounds from S. brachyotus and validate the present high-permormance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with ultraviolet absorption detection method based on accuracy, precision and repeatability. Five phenolic substances including the main compound, luteolin $7-O-{\beta}-D$-glucuronopyranoside, as well as chlorogenic acid, luteolin 7-O-rutinoside, luteolin $7-O-{\beta}-D$-glucopyranoside, and luteolin, were found in the aqueous ethanolic extract of S. brachyotus. In the HPLC validation experiment, the linearity of the four compounds was established by $R^2$ values of more than 0.999 within the test ranges, and the recovery rate ranged from 98.2 - 105.3%. Luteolin 7-O-glucuronide was a predominant compound (143 mg/g of extract and 18.3 mg/g of the dry weight of plant material) with a potent peroxynitrite-scavenging effect ($IC_{50}$, $1.02{\pm}0.08{\mu}M$). Luteolin and its three glycosides together with chlorogenic acid were qualitatively and quantitatively determined using an HPLC method validated in the present study.

Background: Glycosylation of natural compounds increases the diversity of secondary metabolites. Glycosylation steps are implicated not only in plant growth and development, but also in plant defense responses. Although the activities of uridine-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) have long been recognized, and genes encoding them in several higher plants have been identified, the specific functions of UGTs in planta remain largely unknown. Methods: Spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression were analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription (qRT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and GUS histochemical assay. In planta transformation in heterologous Arabidopsis was generated by floral dipping using Agrobacterium tumefaciens (C58C1). Protein localization was analyzed by confocal microscopy via fluorescent protein tagging. Results: PgUGT72AL1 was highly expressed in the rhizome, upper root, and youngest leaf compared with the other organs. GUS staining of the promoter: GUS fusion revealed high expression in different organs, including axillary leaf branch. Overexpression of PgUGT72AL1 resulted in a fused organ in the axillary leaf branch. Conclusion: PgUGT72AL1, which is phylogenetically close to PgUGT71A27, is involved in the production of ginsenoside compound K. Considering that compound K is not reported in raw ginseng material, further characterization of this gene may shed light on the biological function of ginsenosides in ginseng plant growth and development. The organ fusion phenotype could be caused by the defective growth of cells in the boundary region, commonly regulated by phytohormones such as auxins or brassinosteroids, and requires further analysis.

하구둑과 같은 횡단구조물이 없는 자연 하구인 한강하구는 바다와 하천을 연결하는 생태통로로서 생물종 다양성이 풍부하여 생태 가치가 높다. 한강하구에서는 유사분급이 입체적으로 다양하게 분포하여 기후변화 및 하천개발 등과 같은 여러 변화 요인에 따라 하상구조가 민감하게 변하는 특성이 나타난다. 이러한 현상은 하도육역화와 하도복단면 발달의 원인이 된다. 국가습지보호지역으로 지정된 장항습지에서는 하도 지형변화에 따라 식물천이가 현저하다. 본 연구 목적은 이에 대한 현장 조사를 실시하여 습지형성 기작을 규명하는 데 있다. 조사연구 결과, 인위적으로 조성된 것으로 추정되는 초기의 장항습지가 이후 성장하는 과정에 유량에 따른 하도 미지형 변화와 식물천이 사이에 상호 밀접하게 작용하는 것으로 드러났다. 즉 하상의 주재료(모래)가 아닌 부재(Sub-materials of river bed)인 점성의 표층 하상재료(워시로드 성질의 미세립사)가 선구식물(새섬매자기 등)에 포집되면서 복단면 형태(습지)로 성장하는 데 매개 역할을 한 것으로 나타났다. 습지가 하도복단면 형태로 발달한 후에는 선구식물이 다른 식물종으로 천이되는 양상도 나타났다.
