Two new polyketides, chinoketides A and B (1 - 2) with a known compound xylarphthalide A (3), were isolated from the solid medium of the endophytes from the leaves of the relic plant Distylium chinense with the "black-box" co-culture method, and the structures of two new compounds were elucidated by NMR, MS and CD spectra. And the absolute configurations of chinoketides A (1) and B (2) were determined as 2R,3R,8S and 5R,6S by calculating their ECD spectra to compare with the experimental CD spectra. Finally, the antimicrobial activities were evaluated to Erwinia carotovora sub sp. Carotovora (Jones) Bersey et al, and the results showed that compounds 1 - 3 displayed the antimicrobial activities with MIC value at 20.5, 30.4 and $10.2{\mu}g/mL$.

A homoisoflavanone, 7,4'-dihydroxyhomoisoflavanone (1) and a flavanone, (2S)-7,4'-dihydroxy-5-methoxyflavanone (2), were isolated from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, together with 4,4'-dihydroxychalcon (3), 2'-O-methylphlorethin (4), 1,3-bis-di-p-hydroxyphenyl-4-penten-1-one (5), and 2,4'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (6) on the basis of spectroscopic and physicochemical analyses including 1Dand 2D- NMR techniques as well as by comparison of their data with the published values. Compounds 1 - 4 were isolated for the first time from this plant source. Among isolates, compound 2 exhibited moderate inhibitory effect on the differentiation of pre-adipocyte 3T3-L1 cells.

식물성 에스트로겐은 내분비계에서 생성되지 않고 식물성 에스트로겐 식물을 먹음으로써 소비되는 유사에스트로겐이다. "식이 에스트로겐"으로도 불리는 식물성 에스트로겐은 자연적으로 발생하는 다양한 식물성 화합물 그룹이며, 에스트로겐과 구조적인 유사성 때문에 갱년기 증상을 감소시킴으로써 건강 증진에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 식물성 에스트로겐을 고삼, 석류, 칡으로부터 초음파공정을 이용하여 추출하였다. 다양한 초음파세기와 추출시간에서 식물성 에스트로겐의 추출 양을 비교하였다. 이로부터 얻은 결과는 천연물과 관련된 생화학적 연구에 기본적인 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

총 101종의 식물추출물 가운데 약용식물인 천산용(Dioscorea quinqueloba Thunb.) 추출물이 가장 강한 항균활성을 보유한 것으로 나타나 감귤 녹색곰팡이병(Penicillium digitatum) 방제를 위한 실질적인 농업적 현장적용 가능성을 탐색하였다. 선발된 천산용 추출물은 PDA 배지에 0.5 mg/ml을 처리하였을 때, P. digitatum의 균사생장을 87% 억제하였다. 그리고 추출된 항균활성 물질은 pH, 온도, UV에 영향을 받지 않는 매우 안정한 물질임이 확인되었다. 감귤 저장상태 하에서 녹색곰팡이병 방제를 검정한 결과, 자연적인 병발생을 유도한 후 항균활성 물질을 처리하였을 때 0.3 mg/ml에서 완벽하게 병이 방제되었으며 인위적으로 고농도의 P. digitatum을 접종한 경우에도 0.5 mg/ml 농도에서 100%의 방제효과를 보였다. 이 천연 항균물질을 2 mg/ml 농도로 감귤 과실에 처리하여도 약해가 나타나지 않았으므로, 약해가 없고 방제효과가 우수한 이 식물유래 천연물질은 감귤 저장 중에 발생하는 녹색곰팡이병 방제를 위해 추후 매우 효과적인 농업적 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the structure of antioxidative constituents and the free radical scavenging effect of the main ingredients from Galla Rhois(Rhus javanica Linne). Antioxidative activities of n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH extracts of Galla Rhois were similar or even higher than that of natural (tocopherol) or synthetic antioxidant (BHA). It is suggested that major fractions for the antioxidative activity of Galla Rhois were the n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH extract compartments. In the subsequently experiment, one active compound from n-hexane extract, three active compounds from EtOAc extract and one active compound from BuOH extract were isolated. Their chemical structures were identified as syringic acid, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid methylester, gallic acid and $1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-galloyl-{\beta}-D-glucose$ on the basis of the speculation of spectral data and chemical reaction. Among the compounds, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid methylester and $1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-galloyl-{\beta}-D-glucose$ showed most potent radical scavenging effect using DPPH method.

This study was investigated the chemical composition from Syneilesis palmata essential oil and the tendency of variation of the sesquiterpene compounds according to the harvesting time. The essential oils obtained by hydro distillation from the aerial parts of Syneilesis palmata were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Ninety-eight compounds consisting of 9 aliphatic hydrocarbons, 17 sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, 11 aliphatic aldehydes, 1 terpene aldehyde, 8 aliphatic alcohols, 4 monoterpene alcohols, 16 sesquiterpene alcohols, 3 diterpene alcohols, 6 ketones, 11 esters, 8 oxides and epoxides, 3 acids and 1 miscellaneous one were identified from the oil. Spathulenol (22.33%) was the most abundant compound, followed by ${\beta}$- caryophyllene (6.23%), germacrene D (5.57%), longipinane (4.10%), and epiglobulol (3.65%). The volatile composition of Syneilesis palmata was characterized by higher contents of sesquiterpene compounds, especially sesquiterpene alcohols. The total content of 13 sesquiterpene compounds was decreased significantly from 2010 to 2012. ${\alpha}$-Caryophyllene, ${\beta}$-bisabolene, elemol, germacrene D, ${\beta}$-zingiberene, longipinane, and ${\beta}$-caryophyllene alcohol contents decreased, while ${\beta}$-bisabolol content increased during 3 years. The ecological responses to recent climate change may be influenced in the chemical components of natural plant terpenoids.

Derivation of triterpenoids and then the screening for corticomimetics among them is our primary interest. $C_{11}$-oxo-triterprenoids except glycyrrhetinic acid are rarely found in the plant kingdom. Based on the facts that $C_{3}$ and $C_{11}$-Oxo-group are essential for the corticoid-like-activity through its competitive inhibition on the corticoid-5.betha.-reductase, it was attempted to produce artificial inhibitor on the enzyme by introducing $C_{11}$-oxo group to the triterpenoids of oleanene series such as oleanolic acid and hederagenin. We could obtain the $C_{11}$-oxo-oleanolic acid m.p. $264-6^{\circ}$, uv ${\lambda}max$ 249 and $C_{11}$-oxo-hederagenin amorp. uv ${\lambda}max$ 251 by acetylation, $CrO_{3}$-oxid., and deacetylation. Glycyrrhetinic acid, a natural 11-oxo-compound and the other 11-oxo-derivatives of oleanolic acid and hederagenin were compared in their inhibitory activity on the corticoid-5.betha.-reductase. The inhibitory activity of those compound were decreased in the order of $C_{11}$-oxo-oleanolic acid, $C_{11}$-oxo- hederagenin, glycyrrhetinic acid. This suggests more strong corticomimetic activity of those artificially derived $C_{11}$-oxo-oleanolic acid and $C_{11}$-oxa-hederagenin. Their Ki value were $4.6{\times}10^{-4}M$ and $5.8{\times}10^{-4}M$ respectively.

Balanophora laxiflora Hemsl. (Balanophoraceae) is a traditional medicinal plant with a diverse array of biological activities. In our exploration of new bioactive constituents from B. laxiflora, we isolated five compounds, including a new lignan, balanophorone (5), and four known phenolic compounds (1-4). The chemical structures of these compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and CD. In addition, we evaluated the effects of each of the isolates (1-5) on the messenger RNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Compound 2 showed significant inhibition of LPS-induced COX-2 and TNF-α expression in RAW 264.7 macrophages, while compound 4 showed moderate cytotoxicity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, with IC50 values of 18.3 and 30.7 µM, respectively. No significant effects on the viability of normal mammary epithelial cells were observed.

토양혼화실험을 통한 초장의 신장 억제를 조사한 결과 초장이 50% 억제되었을 때의 cyclosulfamuron의 농도를 품종별로 비교하여 보면 동진벼, 화성벼, 일품벼의 경우 각각 6.3, 9.2 146.8 mg/kg으로 동진벼가 제초제 cyclosulfamuron에 가장 민감하게 지상부의 생육이 억제되었다. 또한 cyclosulfamuron은 동일한 농도에서 지상부보다는 지하부의 생육을 더 크게 억제하였으며, 0.3mg/kg 처리 수준에서 동진벼의 경우 건물중의 억제정도는 지상부가 4.8% 정도이었으나 지하부는 38.9%이었다. 벼의 acetolactae synthase 활성을 cyclosulfamuron의 농도별로 검정한 결과 공시된 품종간에 큰 차이가 없었으며 50% 억제되는 농도는 화성벼, 동진벼 및 일품벼의 경우 각각 42.7, 32.7 및 $56.7\;{\mu}M$이었다.

Fusarium oxysporum, an important pathogen that mainly causes vascular or fusarium wilt disease which leads to economic loss. Disruption of gene encoding a heterotrimeric G-protein-${\beta}$-subunit (FGB1), led to decreased intracellular cAMP levels, reduced pathogenicity, colony morphology, and germination. The plant defense protein, Nicotiana alata defensin (NaD1) displays potent antifungal activity against a variety of agronomically important filamentous fungi. In this paper, we performed a molecular modeling and docking studies to find vital amino acids which can interact with various antifungal compounds using Discovery Studio v2.5 and GRAMMX, respectively. The docking results from FGB1-NaD1 and FGB1-antifungal complexes, revealed the vital amino acids such as His64, Trp65, Ser194, Leu195, Gln237, Phe238, Val324 and Asn326, and suggested that the anidulafungin is a the good antifungal compound.The predicted interaction can greatly assist in understanding structural insights for studying the pathogen and host-component interactions.
