The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-oxidant and anti-microbial activity of syringin isolated from Cortex Fraxini to investigate their potential for use as safe natural compounds. Purified syringin was dissolved in distilled water for each concentration and used in each experiment. Syringin showed higher 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging than butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at a concentration of 50 ㎍/ml. In 2,2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging, activity was similar to that of BHT at all concentrations. In antioxidant protection factor measurement, activity of syringin slightly increased as the concentration increased, as did the inhibitory effect of thiobarbutric acid reactive substances. In evaluating anti-microbial activity, the clear zones of Listeria monocytogenes KCTC 13064, Staphylococcus aureus KCTC 1916, Escherichia coli KCTC 2571, and Helicobacter pylori HPKCTC B0150 at a concentration of 200 ㎍/ml were found to be 17.8 mm, 20.45 mm, 17.05 mm, and 16.8 mm, respectively, but no clear zone was observed in the case of Candida albicans ATCC 10231. The activity against water-soluble antioxidants was therefore superior to that against lipid-soluble antioxidants. Anti-microbial activity was examined by inhibiting growth against gram-positive and -negative strains, and anti-fungal activity was not observed. Based on the results of this study, syringin has possible applications as a natural anti-oxidant and anti-microbial material.

When liriodendrin or syringin was incubated for 24 h with human intestinal bacteria, two metabolites, (+)-syringaresinol$\beta$--D-glucopyranoside and (+)-syringaresionl, from liriodendrin and one metabolite, synapyl alcohol, from syringin were produced. The metabolic time course of liriodendrin was as follows: at early time liriodendrin was converted to (+)-syringaresinol-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, and then (+)-syringaresinol. The in vitro cytotoxicities of these metabolites, (+)-syringaresinol and synapyl alcohol, were superior to those of liriodendrin and syringin.

From the leaves of Magnolia sieboldii a new aporphine-type alkaloid named magnoporphine was isolated. The structure of magnoporphine was all assigned by $^1H-^1H$COSY, $^1H-^{13}C$ COSY and $^1H-^{13}C$ long range NMR. In addition, costunolide, syringin, syringenin $4-O-{\beta}-cellobioside$ and echinacoside was isolated.

Ten compounds were isolated from the stem barks of Acanthopanax gracilistylus WW Smith (AGS) by steam distillation, they were p-menta-1,5,8-triene, n-butyl isobutylphthalate, p-mentha-1,5-diene-8-ol, 8-hydroxy-p-cymene, myrtenol, trans-(+)-carveol, 1,3-di-tert-butylbenzene, 4-methyl-2,6-di-butylphenol, valencene and verbenone, respectively, characterized by GS-Mass spectra. And we have also extracted and isolated from the MeOH extracts of the stem barks of AGS, two compounds were obtained. On the basis of chemical and spectral evidence, they were syringin(l), ${\beta}-sitosterol(2)$.

The photochemical study of Viscum album (Loranthaceae) led to the isolation of twelve compounds, lupeol (1), betulonic acid (2), betulinic acid (3), terminic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), $\beta$-sitosterol (6), $\alpha$- spinasterol (7), oleanolic acid (8) , 5-hydroxy-1- (4′-hydoxyphenyl) -7- (4"-hydroxyphenyl) -hepta-1- en-3-on (9), 2′-hydroxy -4′, 6′- dimethoxychalcone -4-O-glycoside (10) ,2′-hydroxy-4′, 6′-dimethoxychalcone -4-O- [apiosal(1longrightarrow12)]glucoside (11) and syringin (12). Their structures were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. The cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds was evaluated by sulforhodamine B assay against five cultured human tumor cell lines.

Five constituents were isolated from the stem of Acanthopanax senticosus. Their structures were elucidated as (-)-sesamin (1), iso-fraxidin (2), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (3), syringin (4) and acanthoside D (5) by spectral analysis. Among these compounds, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (3) was isolated for the first time from this plant.

Syringa oblata var dilatata (Nakai) Rehder is a oleaceous, deciduous shrub indigenous in the calcareous zones of Korea. The author researched the constituents of the leaves of the plant, especially the bitter principles which may be used as amara. According to the literature a bitter principle Syringin and Mannitol were isolated from the leaves of S. vulgaris L. And later on B. Power indicated that syringin and mannitol were widely distributed in oleaceous plants. The fresh leaves of the plant wer extracted with hot water, the filtered clear liquid was mixed with solution of lead acetate. The lead precipitate was filtered off and the filtered liquid was freed from lead by H$_{4}$S. The filtrate thus obtained was evaporated, and from the residue colorless needles, M. P. 166.deg., were obtained. It was soluble in water, in hot alcohol, and insoluble in ether and had a sweet taste. The results of the elementar analysis, M. P. and other characteristics agreed with that of d-mannitol. Finally it was proved to be identical with d-mannitol through conversion of it into Hexaacetyl mannitol, M. P. 124.deg., Triformal mannitol, M. P. 227.deg., Tribenzal mannitol, M. P. 224.deg., which exhibited no depression, when mixed with authentic specimens. The experiments to isolate bitter principles of the plant are in progress.

In our previous study, we found uracil, adenosine, protocatechuic acid, syringin (eleutheroside B) and scoparone (6, 7-dimethoxycoumarin) in the Oplopanax elatus Nakai Stem. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) -UV was used to quality and quantify the internal marker compounds in the O. elatus extract after validation of method with linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), accuracy and precision. The specificity assessment visually confirmed that the substance was detected without the introduction of other substances. The established method showed high linearity of the calibration curve and coefficient of correlation ($R^2$) of over the 0.999. HPLC was reported as five standard compounds equivalent using the following linear equation based on the calibration curve. The accuracy of measurement was 84.34 ~ 119.74% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) value was 0.28 ~ 1.60%. In addition, our established method showed high repeatability. The RSD value was 1.10 ~ 6.81%. So, we found the amount of the internal marker compounds in the O. elatus extract. These results demonstrated that can be used to quality evaluation of the O. elatus.
