From the methanol extract of Rhododendron brachycarpum four triterpenes, three phenylpropanes and a diterpene alkaloid were isolated. Their structures were identified as glutinol (1), 3$\beta$-hydroxyurs-12-ene (2), $\beta$-sitosterol (3), (E)-P-hydrox-ycinnamic acid hexadecylester (4), (-)-rhododendrol (5), (+)-rhododendrol (6), 3$\beta$-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (7) and gray-anotoxin I (8) by spectroscopic methods. Compound 8 showed moderate cytotoxicity against five cultured human tumor cell lines with $ED_{50}$ values of $3.21\~4.05 {\mu}g/ml$. The other compounds were of marginal activity against the tested cell lines.

구상나무(Abies koreana Maximowicz)와 전나무(Abies holophylla Wilson) 잎을 채취하여 건조시킨 후 분말로 제조하여 각각 1.5 kg을 아세톤-물(7:3, v/v)로 추출하고 헥산, 메틸렌클로라이드, 에틸아세테이트 및 수용성으로 분획하여 동결건조 시켰다. 에틸아세테이트용성 분획을 Sephadex LH-20으로 충진한 칼럼에서 메탄올과 에탄올-헥산 혼합액을 용리용매로 사용하여 칼럼크로마토그래피를 실시하였다. 단리된 화합물들은 TLC로 확인한 후 $^1H-$, $^{13}C-NMR$, COSY, HETCOR 등의 스펙트럼을 사용하여 정확한 구조를 규명하였고 FAB 및 EI-MS로써 분자량을 측정하였다. 많은 양의 aromadendrin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (화합물 III), polydatin (화합물 VI), (-)-rhododendrol-2-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (화합물 VII)가 단리되었으며, 소량의 (+)-catechin (화합물 I), kaempferol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (화합물IV), myricetin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (화합물 V), naringenin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (화합물 II)도 단리 되었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거법을 이용하여 단리된 화합물들에 대한 항산화 활성시험을 실시하였으며 (+)- catechin과 polydatin이 항산화 효능을 나타내었다.

Chemical investigation on a sample of the needles of Himalayan Taxus baccata has resulted in the isolation of several taxoids including taxol (1) 10-deacetyl-baccatin III (2) and 2-deacetoxytaxinine J (3) along with different lignans (6 and 7) and simple phenolics (8, 9, 10, 11 and 12). The occurrence of 4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-butane-2-one and 4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-trans-but 3-ene-2-one (8) in Taxus species is reported for the first time. The $^{13}C-NMR$ spectral data of two rearranged taxiod constituents, brevifoliol (4) and 13-decinnamoyltaxchinin B (5) are presented. The acid-catalyzed decomposition of taxol has been discussed. The synthesis of other two constituents, rhododendrol (10) and hibalactone (7) has been described.

Eleven compounds were isolated from fresh leaves of Abies koreana (Pinaceae), and structures of these compounds were determined to be 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (1), maltol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (2), (-)-epicatechin (3), naringenin 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (4), naringenin-7-O-rhamnoglucoside (5), kaempferol 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (6), (+)-isolariciresinol (7), secoisolariciresinol (8), rhododendrol (9), ferulic acid (10) and 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one (rheosmin) (11) by comparing $^1H$-, $^{13}C$-NMR and MS spectroscopic data with reference values. Compounds 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 were isolated for the first time from A. koreana. Among eleven isolates, compounds 1, 7 and 11 showed inhibitory activities against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in BV-2 microglia in a concentration dependent manner.

During the screening for cytotoxic compounds from plants grown in Korea, Betula platyphylla (BP) showed potent activity against the adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial A549 cell line. To identify the cytotoxic components from BP, the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction with the most significant cytotoxic effect was applied to the column chromatographies. Seven compounds were isolated: lupeol (1), betulinic acid (2), (-)-rhododendrol (3), platyphyllenone (4), platyphyllone (5), (-)-centrolobol (6), and oleanolic acid (7). Among them, three diarylheptanoids (4 - 6) exhibited cytotoxicity toward A549 cells. Especially, $50{\mu}M$ of 4 reduced A549 cell viability to $18.93{\pm}0.82%$ compared to control ($100.00{\pm}21.48%$). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were also induced by $50{\mu}M$ 4. This is the first report on the cytotoxic effect of BP-derived diarylheptanoids 4-6 against A549 cells. The compound 4 may be useful for the development of early hit compounds for non-small cell lung carcinoma, but the consideration about selectivity of 4 is required since 4 also showed the cytotoxicity in the human normal lung epithelial BEAS-2B cell line.
