Bioactivity-directed isolation has led to the isolation of (-)-ent-costunolide (1) as the major active compound from Hepatostolonophora paucistipula. This compound (1) was determined by spectroscopic data interpretation. This sesquiterpene lactone (1) inhibited the growth of the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 28185, (4 mm inhibition zone at $15{\mu}g$/disc), cytotoxic activity to murine leukaemia cell lines ATCC CCL 46 P 388D1 ($IC_{50}$ 687 ng/ml, at $0.075{\mu}g$/disk), BSC monkey kidney cell lines (100% of well at $15{\mu}g$/disk) and antiviral activity to Herpes simplex virus (0.25 mg/ml, 100% of well at $7.5{\mu}g$/disk) and Polio virus (0.125 mg/ml, 100% of well at $3.75{\mu}g$/disk). These results suggest that (-)-ent-costunolide (1) has potential antimicrobial and cytotoxic agents.

Four guaia-12,6-olide type sesquiterpene lactones, aguerin B (1), 8$\alpha$-acetoxyzaluzanin C (2), cynaropicrin (3), and deacylcynaropicrin (4), were isolated from the flowers of Hemisteptia Iyrata Bunge. It is the first report on the isolation of compounds 1-4 from Hemisteptia species. All the isolates (1-4) were examined for their cytotoxic activity against SK-OV-3, LOX-IMVI, A549, MCF-7, PC-3, and HCT-15 human cancer cell lines.

천연자원으로부터 얻어진 항암 또는 세포독성물질로는 주로 alkaloid, lignan, terpenoid, macrolide 등에 속하는 물질들이고 그 중 sesquiterpene lactone계열 화합물에서 세포독성 및 항종양 활성이 있는 물질이 다수 얻어졌으며 그 대부분은 국화과의 식물에서 분리 보고되고 있다. Achillea 속 식물은 국화과에 속하는 다년생초본으로 남한에는 톱풀과 산톱풀 2종만이 자생한다. screening 결과 이 두 식물에는 segquiterpene lactone 화합물과 Peroxide등 다수의 활성성분이 함유되어 있을 것으로 기대되어 본 연구에 착수하였다. 두 식물의 각 분획에 대하여 SNU-1(위암세포주)과 SNU-354(간암세포주)를 이용해 검색한 결과 두 식물 모두 MC ext.와 MeOH ext.에서 현저한 세포독성을 보였으며 현재 MC ext. 로부터 세포독성물질의 분리를 수행하고 있다. EtOAc ext.는 세포독성은 거의 나타내지 않았으나 flavonoid 성분이 다수 존재함을 확인하였으며 면역활성 및 enzyme inhibition등의 활성을 검토하고자 화합물을 분리하였다. 그 결과 톱풀로 부터는 luteolin-7-0-glucoside와 apigenin-7-0-glucoside를 그리고 산톱풀로부터는 luteolin-7-0-glucoside, apigenin-7-0-glucoside, luteolin, apigenin을 분리 확인 동정하였다.

The chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract of the roots of Ainsliaea acerifolia (Compositae) led to the isolation of six known terpenes and two known lignans. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods as mokko lactone (1), betulonic acid (2), betulinic acid (3), zaluzanin C (4), $1{\beta}-hydroperoxygermacra-4(15)$, 5, 10(14)-triene (5), pluviatilol (6), (+)-syringaresinol (7), and glucozaluzanin C (8). Compounds $1{\sim}4$ and 8 showed non-specific significant cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines with $ED_{50}$ values ranging from $0.36{\sim}5.54{\mu}g/mL$.

Helenalin, a cell-permeable pseudoguainolide sesquiterpene lactone, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits $NF-{\kappa}B$ DNA binding activity by selectively alkylating the p65 subunit of $NF-{\kappa}B$. Transcription factors such as $NF-{\kappa}B$ provide powerful target of drugs to use in the treatment of cancer. Human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells are differentiated into monocytic or granulocytic lineage when treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin $D_3{\;}[1,25-(OH)_2D_3]$ or all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), respectively.

Chrysanthemum boreale Makino (C. boreale) is widely distributed in Asian countries, and has traditionally been used to treat various inflammatory diseases including bronchitis. In this study, we aimed to isolate biologically active compounds from leaves and stems of C. boreale. Chemical components were purified by column chromatograpy and recyclic HPLC, and characterized from their spectral data (IR, MS, NMR). Biological activity experiments were conducted for Farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) activity, apoptosis and nitirc oxide (NO) release. As a results, three sesquiterpene lactones were isolated. Compound 1 (4-methoxy-8-O-acetyl-10-hydroxy-2,11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed strong cytotoxic activities having an average growth inhibition of 50% ($GI_{50}$) value of $1.89{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Compound 1 also showed a low half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) value of $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ for NO release. In the caspase 3 activity, compound 1 and compound 2 (8-O-(2-carbonyl-2-butyl)-3,10-dihydroxy-4,11(13) -guaiadiene-12,6-olide) exhibited 94% and 90% apoptosis inhibition activity, respectively. Compound 3 (4,8-O-diacetyl -10-hydroxy-2(3),11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed a strong inhibitory effect on FPTase activity with 90% inhibitory activity at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. These results clearly show the presence of lactone compounds in the leaves and stems, which may partially contribute to the pharmacological activity of C. boreale.

Ixeris dentata forma albiflora was extracted with 80% aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_{2}O$. Eight sesquiterpenes were isolated through repeated silica gel and octadecyl silica gel ($C_{18},\;ODS$) column chromatography of the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions. Physicochemical analysis using NMR, MS and IR revealed the chemical structures of the sesquiterpenes, which were zaluzanin (1), 9a-hydroxyguaian-4(15), 10(14), 11 (13)-triene-6, 12-olide(2), $3{\beta}-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-8{\beta}-hydroxyguaian$-4(15), 10(14)-diene-6, 12-olide (3), $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-8{\beta}-hydroxyguauan$-10(14)-ene-6, 12-olide (4), ixerin M (5), glucozaluzanin C (6), crepiside I (7), and ixerin D (8). This is the first time that these sesquiterpene lactones have been isolated from this plant. Compounds 1, 2 and 7 revealed relatively high cytotoxicities on human colon carcinoma cell and lung adeno-carcinoma cell, while compounds 5 and 7 showed acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitory activity.

To elucidate the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity of alantolactone, and also to investigate the relationship between the growth of cells and the respiration of Chlorella pyrenoidosa affected by alantolactone, alantolactone and isoalantolactone were isolated from Inula helenium L., and di-, and tetrahydroalantolactones were prepared by the hydrogenation. At a concentration of 5$\times$10-5M alantolactone, the growth rate of Chlorella was greatly reduced. The viability of cells was also reduced over 50% within 2 hr at a concentration of 2.5$\times$10-4M alantolactone. However, oxygen uptake was increased by 20% over 3 hr. And 14CO2 production from glucose-1-14C, glucose-6-14C and 14C-acetate-U.L. was also increased by alantolactone. Biological activityof alantolactone was significantly reduced by cysteine, reduced glutathione or cystine but not by tryptophan or histidine. It was detected by spectrophotometrically and by TLC that alantolactone was also reacted with thiols except cystine. The solution of alantolactone reached with thiol gave the UV absorption spectrum of $\alpha$-saturated ${\gamma}$-lactone, and most of SH groups were disappeared by the addition reaction. From the reaction mixture of alantolactone and cysteine, a lactone adduct was isolated and purified. Isoalantolactone had shown similar activity as alantolactone, however, it was appeared that di-, and tetrahydroalantolactones were not only inactive biologically but also in vitro. It was concluded that there was no correlationship between increased respiration rate and mortality of Chlorella. During the respiration TCA cycle was activated, however it was uncertain that the activation of EMP or HMP was also appeared. Alantolactone and isoalantolactone were biologically active compounds but others were inactive. The reactivity of $\alpha$-methylene ${\gamma}$-lactone moiety toward SH group was principally responsible for its biological activity in sesquiterpene lactones.
