  • Two lupane-type triterpenes, lupenone (1) and lupeol (2), a phytosterol, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (3), two ursane-type triterpenes, $3{\beta}-acetoxy$ ursolic acid (4) and ursolic acid (5), a lignan, (-)-lyoniresinol $3a-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (6), and two flavanol glycosides, $catechin-7-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (7) and $catechin-7-O-{\beta}-D-apiofuranoside$ (8) were isolated from the stem bark of Sorbus commixta (Rosaceae). Their chemical structures were identified by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods.

FPTase Inhibition Effect of Protostanes from Alismatis Rhizoma and Derivatives from Alisol B 23-acetate (택사 (Alismatis Rhizoma)에서 분리한 Protostane계 화합물과 그 유도체의 FPTase 억제활성)

  • The purpose of this research is to study of inhibitory activity of protostane type triterpens against farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase). The ingredients of Alismatis Rhizoma, alisol B 23-acetate, C 23-acetate, alisols B and A 24-acetate, and thirteen synthetic analogues from alisol B 23-acetate exhibited inhibition activity against FPTase by scintillation proximity assay method. As a result, alisol C 23-acetate, one of the constituents of Alismatis Rhizoma, the synthetic analogues carboxylated and hydroxylated on branch chain of protostane exhibited a significant inhibitory activity. However, the compounds significantly lowered the inhibitory activity, when there is no 3 position keto on protostane skeletone.

  • Bryonia alba L. belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family and grows in Europe, Asia, America, Africa, Russia, Ukraina and Armenia. The root of Bryonia alba has been used for neuropsychical diseases, psychosis, hysteria, paralysis, epilepsy, vertigo, headache, migrain, melancholia, forgetfulness, sadness, absent mindedness, delirium, cardiovascular disease, ischemia, gastrointestinal diseases, gastric ulcer and respiratory diseases. The root of Bryonia alba contains an oxidized tetra cyclic triterpens, cucurbitaceous, polyunsaturated hydrocarbons, phospholipids, phosphatidylcholines, ethereal oils, fatty acids, a great amount of amino acids, alcohol soluble enzymes, sugar, carotene, vitamin C and E. Bryonia alba increases coronary blood-flow and the amplitude of cardiac contractions. Bryonia alba has an antistressor action and increases the working capacity. Bryonia alba activates connective tissue cells. Bryonia alba markedly increases the oxygen consumption by young and senescent rat brain, liver as well as heart mitochondrial fraction as Korean Ginseng. Bryonia alba decreases lipid peroxidation after immobilization stress. In conclusion, Bryonia alba like Ginseng used in traditional medicine came from ancient time has a good perspective administration as prophylactic and medical remedy, as remedy of lot of diseases in modern medicine.
