Five known anthraquinones, physcion (1), I-O-methylemodin (2), emodin (3), $physcion-8-O-{\beta},-D-glucopyranoside$ (5), $emodin-8-O-{\beta},-D-glucopyranoside$ (6) and two known stilbenes, trans-resveratrol (4), $trans-resveratrol-3-O-{\beta},-D-glucopyranoside$ (7) were isolated from MeOH extract of Reynoutria sachalinensis (Polygonaceae). All structures were unambiguously established by 1D and 2D NMR and MS data and the compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against L1210, HL-60, BI6F10 tumor cell lines in MTT assay. Among the compounds, trans-resveratrol (4) exhibited significant cytotoxic activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 9.2, 6.7 and $9.8\;{\mu}g/ml$, against the test cell lines respectively, but compounds 1-3 exhibited the moderate cytotoxic activity.

Chrysanthemum morifolium flowers were extracted with 80 % aqueous MeOH, and the concentrated extract was partitioned into EtOAc, n-butyl alcohol (n-BuOH), and water fractions. The repeated silica gel and octadecyl silica gel column chromatographies for the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions led to isolation of four flavonoids. The chemical structures of the compounds were determined as acacetin (1), apigenin (2), apigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyanoside (3), acacetin-7-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (4) based on spectroscopic data analyses including nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and infrared spectrometry.

Column chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract from the aerial parts of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briquet led to the isolation of twelve terpenes (1 - 11 and 17), four phenolics (13 - 16) and a hexenyl glucoside (12). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic means to be (-)-pulegone (1), piperitenone (2), p-cymene-3,8-diol (3), schizonepetoside A (4), schizonepetoside C (5), (+)-spatulenol (6), ursolic acid (7), $2{\alpha}$,$3{\alpha}$,$24{\alpha}$,-trihydroxyolean-12en-28oic acid (8), $5{\alpha}$,$8{\alpha}$-epidioxyergosta-6,22-diol-$3{\beta}$-ol (9), stigmast-4-en-3-one (10), ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (11), (Z)-3-hexenyl-1-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (12), rosmarinic acid (13), apigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (14), luteolin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranoside (15), hesperidin (16) and trans-phytol (17).

Nelnumbo nucifera Gaerth. (Nymphaeaceae) has been used in a korean traditional medicine to treat fever, sunstroke and dizziness. The receptaculums of this plant were refluxed with MeOH, and then fractionated with organic solvents ($CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc and n-BuOH) to screen whitening activity using tyrosinase inhibitory activity. EtOAc ($IC_{50}$, 45.23 ${\mu}g/ml$) fractions showed a good tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Column chromatographic separation of $CH_2Cl_2$ and EtOAc fractions of Receptaculum nelumbinis led to the isolation 3 compounds. Their chemical structures were characterized as ${\beta}$-sitosterol (1), quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside (2) and kaempferol 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3) by comparison NMR spectral data and with those in references, respectively. Isolated compounds 1 and 3 were firstly isolated from Receptaculums nelumbinis. Compounds 2 and 3 showed potent whitening activities.

In order to find the antioxidative compounds, fractionation of the MeOH extract of the leaves of Crataegus pinnatifida guided by DPPH scavenging test furnished seven phenolic compounds, $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (1), myricetin-3-O-rhamnose (2), $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-galctopyranoside$ (3), $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$ (4), quercetin (5), $apigenin-8-C-{\beta}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (2'-O-rhamnosylvitexin) (6) and (-)-epicatechin (7). All of isolated compounds showed the significant antioxidative effect on DPPH free radical scavenging test and TBARS assay.

Second-order rate constants have been determined spectrophotometrically for the reaction of phenyl 4-nitrophenyl carbonate with a series of primary amines in $H_2O$ containing 20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ${\circ}$C. The Bronsted-type plot is linear with a ${\beta}_{nuc}\;0.69 {\pm} 0.04$, which is slightly smaller than the ${\beta}_{nuc}$ values for the reactions of 4-nitrophenyl acetate ( $\beta_{nuc}= 0.82 {\pm} 0.03$) and benzoate ( $\beta_{nuc} = 0.76 {\pm} 0.01$), indicating that the reaction proceeds through a tetrahedral zwitterionic intermediate $T^{\pm}$. The carbonate is more reactive than the corresponding acetate and benzoate. The changing Me (or Ph) to PhO has resulted in a decrease in the ${\beta}_{nuc}$ value without changing the reaction mechanism but an increase in the reactivity. The electronic effect of the substituent in the nonleaving group appears to be responsible for the enhanced reactivity of the carbonate compared with the corresponding acetate and benzoate.

In traditional oriental medicine, Gentianae Radix has been used clinically for clearing away 'heat', removing dampness and purging fire in the liver and gall bladder. However, there has been a lack of studies regarding the effects of Gentianae Radix on the immunological activities. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Gentianae Radix on the regulatory effects of cytokines and nitric oxide(NO) for the immunological activities in Raw 264.7 cells. After the treatment of Gentianae Radix MeOH extract, cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and NO production was monitored by measuring the nitrite content in culture medium. The expression of COX-2 and iNOS was determined by immunoblot analysis, and the content of levels of cytokines in media was analyzed by ELISA kit. Results provided evidence that Gentianae Radix inhibited the production of nitrite and nitrate (NO), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), $interleukin-l{\beta}$ $(IL-l{\beta})$ and IL-6, and the activation of phospholylation of inhibitor ${\kappa}B{\alpha}$ ($p-I {\kappa}B{\alpha}$) in Raw 264.7 cells activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). These findings suggest that Gentianae Radix can make anti-inflammatory effect, which may playa role in adjunctive therapy.

Cymbidium goeringii REICHB. fil was extracted with 80% MeOH and solvent-fractionated with EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$, successively. From EtOAc fraction, three sterols were isolated on repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. The chemical structures were determined as ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (1), daucosterol (2) and ergosterol peroxide (3) by NMR, MS and IR, which is the first to be isolated from Cymbidium goeringii REICHB. fil.

The sprouts of Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes were extracted with 100% MeOH and the concentrated extract was partitioned with EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$, successively. From the EtOAc fraction, three sterols were isolated through the repeated silica gel and ODS column chromatographies. On the basis of physico-chemical and spectroscopic data including NMR, MS, and IR, the chemical structures of the sterols were determined as ${\beta}$-sitosterol (1), brassicasterol (2), and 7-ketobrassicasterol (3). Compound 1 is usually observed in plant. Compounds 2 is observed in Brassica sp., and compounds 3 have very rarely occurred in natural source including plant.
