In order to elucidate the defence mechanism of Cyprinus carpio nudus to Clonorchis sinensis, clonorchicidal substance in the epidermal mucus of this fish was isolated by silica gel column and thin layer chromatography and analyzed for its chemical nature by UV, IR and NMR-spectroscopy. The epidermal mucus of the fish was extracted by ethyl ether and separated into 2 fractions by column chromatography using petroleum ether/chloroform(30/70,v/v) as first solvent and methanol as second solvent. The second fraction with greyish white colour showed clonorchicidal effect. The second was again fractionated into greyish white precipitate and clonorchicidal greenish yellow supernatant fraction, by adding petroleum ether and standing the mixture for 5 days at $5^{\circ}C$. The latter was divided into 7 fractions in column chromatography with acetone/ benzene (10/90, v/v) as carrier. The fraction on equivalent to the spot of Rf. 0.225 value among them disclosed the strongest clonorchicidal effect. By this purification procedure, clonorchicidal substance was purified 154-fold with 0.9% yield from the mucus of the fish, and 10mg of the final fraction killed tne metaceicariae in 22 min. Infra red, nuclear magnetic resonance and ultraviolet spectrometric analysis of the purified substance revealed that the substance is linoleic acid. According to the results of the present studies it seemed that this fish could not be proper intermediate host of Clonorchis sixensis, and that defence mechanism of this fish to the worm seems to be correlated with clonorchicidal substance in epidermal mucus.

To confirm antioxidant activity of black garlic, methanol extract of black garlic was fractioned by hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, buthanol and water. Antioxidant activities of solvent fractions were assayed in 100, 250, 500 and $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentrations. The contents of total phenol and flavonoids were significantly higher 5.5~11.6 times in chloroform, ethyl acetate and hexane fraction than other fractions. Antioxidant activities of solvent fractions were increased by higher sample concentrations and their activities were significantly higher in chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions than others. DPPH radical scavenging activity was over 50% in $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration, except butanol and water fraction. In the same concentration, reducing power was also significantly lower in butanol and water fraction. ABTS radical scavenging activity was higher in hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions and was over 70% at $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration. In $1,000\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration, the range of hydroxy radical scavenging activity was 50.27~81.02% and SOD-like ability was 26.73~47.64%. Antioxidant activity in linoleic acid reaction system was significantly higher when storage time was longer and sample concentration was higher in non-polar solvent fractions. Nitrite scavenging activity was relatively higher than antioxidant activity and the activity in $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ concentration was over than 50%, except butanol fraction.

Several extracts of different parts and solvent fractions of Cornus kousa were obtained and their functional material contents, antioxidant activities and tyrosinase inhibition effects were determined. Content of total polyphenols and flavonoids contents in flower were 169.638 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ and 25.418 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, respectively, which were much higher than those of other parts. Also, flower extracts showed the strongest effects on DPPH and ABTS radicals scavenging and ferrous ion chelating. In flower, leaf, and stem extracts, inhibition effects on peroxidation of linoleic acid determined by ferric thiocyanate(FTC) method were higher than a synthetic antioxidant, BHT. Tyrosinase inhibition activities were shown only in flower extract. Flower and leaf extracts, showing high biological activities in various system, were successively reextracted with n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and n-butanol. Total polyphenol contents of water fractions were higher than any other solvent fractions in both flower and leaf, 67.006 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ and 67.739 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, respectively. But total flavonoid contents were higher in ethyl acetate fraction for flower extract and butanol fraction for leaf extract. Among the solvent fractions, the highest efficiency of free radical scavenging activities was obtained in ethyl acetate fraction for flower extract and n-butanol fraction for leaf extract. Tyrosinase inhibition activities were higher in water fraction for both flower and leaf extracts, 49.24% and 31.8%, respectively.

Paeonia japonica is a perennial flowering plant used in traditional medicine therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of water extract and solvent fractions obtained from P. japonica on anti-oxidative, anti-thrombin, anti-invasive and pro-apoptotic activities in YD-10B cells, human oral squamous carcinoma cell line. Water fraction revealed the highest extraction yield at 11.44% (w/w). Anti-oxidative activity was the highest in ethyl acetate fraction (85.13%). In the thrombin inhibitory activity test, ethyl fraction was the highest, with a value of 87.54%. Release and activation of MMP-2/pro-MMP-2 ratio in thrombin-treated YD-10B cells were significantly inhibited in the ethyl acetate fraction. At a concentration of $120{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ water extract and solvent fractions of P. japonica inhibited cell proliferation in YD-10B cells except water fraction. Pro-apoptotic effect on human oral squamous carcinoma cell using the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio analysis was higher in water extract than other fractions. These findings suggest that the ethyl acetate fraction of P. japonica potentiates a promising antioxidant, anti-thrombin and anti-invasive agents.

The separation and purification of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) present in the light cycle oil (LCO) fraction was investigated by a crystallization operation. Solute crystallization (SC) was performed using LCO fraction and iso-propyl alcohol as a raw material and a SC solvent, respectively. Increasing the operation temperature and volume ratio of the solvent to the raw material (S/F) resulted in improving the purity of 2,6-DMN, whereas the yield decreased. As a result of the crystallization operation in three steps containing the SC using LCO fraction (13.9% 2,6-DMN) and isopropyl alcohol, the re-crystallization 1 (RC 1) using the crystals recovered by SC and methyl acetate, and RC 2 using the crystals recovered by RC 1 and methyl acetate, the crystal with 99.9% 2,6-DMN was recovered with 19.5% yield. Furthermore, the separation and purification process of 2,6-DMN present in the LCO fraction was reevaluated by using the experimental results obtained through each operations of SC, RC 1, and RC 2.

The general components and cyclitol compounds of ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) were analyzed to examine the possibility of using extracts as functional food materials, the antioxidant effects and antidiabetic activities of the extracts by solvent fraction were tested. Among the mineral contents, contents of K and Na were the largest ($1,213.33{\pm}2.52$ and $545.53{\pm}12.01mg/100g$, respectively), followed by S, Ca, P, and Mg in order of precedence. Among cyclitol compounds, content of D-pinitol was the largest ($4.04{\pm}0.08mg/g$) while contents of chiro-inositol and myo-inositol were relatively small ($2.82{\pm}0.01$ and $0.25{\pm}0.01mg/g$, respectively). Among total phenol contents by solvent fraction, contents of chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions were large ($35.80{\pm}1.33$ and $23.70{\pm}0.62mg\;GAE/g$, respectively). Among antioxidant activity levels examined by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and lipid/MA assays, the chloroform fraction commonly showed the highest level of activity while the ethyl acetate fraction showed relatively high levels of activity. The antioxidant activity levels were proportional to total phenol contents by solvent fraction. As for antidiabetic effects, all solvent fractions showed at least 50% ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity levels while the ethyl acetate, butanol, and chloroform fractions showed high levels activity of $90.33{\pm}0.40$, $87.98{\pm}0.16$, and $86.38{\pm}0.51%$, respectively. The ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibitory actively levels were in the range of $25.63{\pm}1.45{\sim}60.34{\pm}2.67%$, which was lower than the ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity levels, but the inhibitory activity levels by solvent fraction were similar. Given the above study results, ice plant can be utilized as a natural material with antioxidative and antidiabetic functionality.
