The compounds 1, and 3 - 16 were isolated for the first time from this plant. The absolute stereochemistry of compound 1 was newly determined. The isolated compounds were tested for cytotoxic activity against four human tumor cell lines in vitro using a Sulforhodamin B bioassay, but all the compounds showed weak cytotoxic activities.

Phytochemical investigation of the 80% MeOH extract from the leaves of Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum resulted in the isolation of seventeen compounds; two terpenes, three norsesquiterpenes, one furofuran lignan, and eleven phenolic derivatives. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be trans-phytol (1), phytene-1,2-diol (2), icariside B2 (3), (6S,9S)-roseoside (4), sedumoside G (5), pinoresinol-4-O-glucoside (6), 2-methoxy-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (7), 2-hydroxy-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol (8), Benzyl ${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (9), methyl ferulate (10), trans-ferulic acid (11), methyl-p-hydroxycinnamate (12), glucosyl methyl ferulate (13), linocaffein (14), siringin (15), 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-ethyl-O-${\beta}$-Dglucopyranoside (16), and pseudolaroside C (17). All compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant.

In this study, 15 compounds were elucidated from the hot-water extract of Perillae Folium. Fifteen isolates were determined to be protocatechuic acid (1), caffeic acid (2), (R)-rosmarinic acid (3), (S)-shisoflavanone A (4), luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (5), scutellarein-7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (6), apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1→2)-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (7), luteolin-7-O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl(1→2)-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (8), kelampayoside A (9), trans-N-feruloyloctopamine (10), 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-N-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methoxyethyl]acrylamide (11), perilloside C (12), perilloside A (13), (6S,9R)-9-hydroxy-megastigma-4,7-dien-3-one-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (14) and (6S,9R)-roseoside (15) through spectroscopic evidences. The HPLC analysis revealed that hot-water extract of Perillae Folium contained caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid and glycosides of apigenin, luteolin and scutellarein as main constituents.

Column chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract from the aerial parts of Paris verticillata led to the isolation of three phenolics, two terpene glucosides and two pyrrolidine alkaloids. Their structures were characterized to be methyl caffeate (1), 5-hydroxy pyrrolidin-2-one (2), vanillic acid (3), benzyl alcohol glucopyranoside (4), (6S, 9R)-roseoside (5), staphylionoside H (6) and 5-methoxy pyrrolidin-2-one (7) by spectroscopic means. The isolated compounds (1-7) were for the first time reported from this source. The isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against four human tumor cell lines by SRB method in vitro.

Opuntia ficus-indicavar. saboten Makino (Cactaceae) is a tropical or subtropical plant that has been widely used as folk medicine for the treatment of diabetes, asthma, burn, edema and gastritis. The purposes of the present study were to identify antioxidant constituents from fruits and stems of the plant cultivated in Cheju island, Korea, and examine their in vitro neuroprotective activities. Using a chromatographic fractionation method, ten chemical constituents were isolated from ethyl acetate extracts. By means of chemical and spectroscopic methods, those were identified as eight flavonoids such as kaempherol (a), quercetin (b), kaempferol 3-methyl ether (c), quercetin 3-methyl ether (d), narcissin (e), dihydrokaernpferol (f), dihydroquercetin (g) and erioclictyol (h), and two terpenoids such as 3-oxo-${\alpha}$-ionol-${\beta}$-d-glucopyranoside (i) and roseoside (j). Among the isolated compounds, comrounds c~e and h~j were those reported for the first titre from the plant. Compounds b, d and g showed DPPH free radical scavenging activities with IC$\sub$50/ values of 28, 19 and 31, ${\mu}$M respectively. Compounds d and g also inhibited iron-dependent lipid peroxidation with IC$\sub$50/ values of 2.4 and 3.5 ${\mu}$M. In a primary rat cortical neuronal cell culture system, compounds b, d and g inhibited xanthine/xanthine oxidase-induced (IC$\sub$50/ values of 18.2, 2.1 and 54.6 ${\mu}$M) and H$_2$O$_2$-induced (IC$\sub$50/ values of 13.6, 1.9 and 25.7 ${\mu}$M) cytotoxicities. In addition, compounds d and g inhibited NMDA-induced excitotoxicity by 21 and 33%, and only compound d inhibited growth factor withdrawal-induced apoptosis by 31% at a tested concentration of 3 ${\mu}$M. The results suggest that the antioxidant constituents with in vitroneuroprotective activities may serve as lead chemicals for the development of neuroprotective agent.
