녹용은 한방에서 신경조절 약화, 신체발육부진, 허약체질 등에 사용되는 강장제로서 인삼과 더불어 중요한 약재 중의 하나이지만 아직까지 유효 성분이 밝혀져 있지 않다. 알려진 녹용의 성분으로 collagen, acid mucopolysaccharide, 중성지질, 당지질, ganglioside, 인지질, proteolipid, prostaglandins, estrone, estradiol, cholesterol, its ester, 7-keto-cholesterol, 7$\alpha$-hydroxycholesterol , 7$\beta$-hydroxycholesterol , p-hydroxy-benzaldehyde, uracil, uridine, hypoxanthine, nicotinic acid, creatinine urea 등이 보고되었다. 이와 같은 성분들은 동물조직에서 공통적으로 발견되는 것들로서 녹용의 특이성분이라 부르기 어렵다. 그러나 uracil, uridine, hypoxanthine과 같은 핵산염기 관련 성분은 녹용에 비교적 함량이 많고, 이중에서 hypoxanthine은 monoamine oxidase-B에 대한 저해작용이 있으므로 주목할 필요성이 있다.

A. koreanum was investigated to identify the constituents possessing whitening effects. As anti-melanogenesis activities were screened for the ethanol extract and solvent fractions, n-hexane (Hex) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fractions showed the most potent activities. Three constituents were isolated from the n-Hex fraction of A. koreanum; kaurenoic acid (1), $16{\alpha}$-hydro-17-isovaleroyloxy-ent-kauran-19-oicacid (2), $16{\alpha}$-hydroxy-17-isovaleroyl-oxy-ent-kauran-19-oic acid (3). The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated based on the spectroscopic data including $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra, as well as comparison of the data to the literature values. Whitening effects were studied for the isolated compounds. Upon the anti-melanogenesis test using ${\alpha}-MSH$ stimulated B16F10 melanoma cells, the compounds 1, 2 and 3 inhibited the cellular melanogenesis and intracellular tyrosinase activities effectively. Based on these results, A. koreanum stems extract could be potentially applicable as whitening ingredients in cosmetic formulations.

Two oleanane-type triterpenes (1, 2) and their glycosides (4-6), and one ursane-type triterpene (3) have been isolated from a methanolic extract of Patrinia saniculaefolia Hemsley (Valerianaceae) through repeated silica gel and reversed-phase C-18 column chromatography. Their chemical structures were determined as oleanolic acid (1), oleanonic acid (2), 23-hydroxyursolic acid (3), 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranosyl-oleanolic acid (4), 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl-oleanolic acid (5), and oleanolic acid 3-O-[${\alpha}$-D-xylopyranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}3$)-${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-butyl-ester] (6) on the basis of their MS, $^1H$-, and $^{13}C$-NMR spectral data. All compounds were isolated from the whole plant of the P. saniculaefolia for the first time. These compounds were examined for their anti-complement activity against the classical pathway of the complement system. Among them, compounds 1 - 3 exhibited anti-complement activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 470.1, 212.2, and 121.0 ${\mu}M$, respectively, whereas compounds 4 - 6 were inactive. These results suggest that the carbonyl or hydroxy group at C-3 in the oleananeand/or ursane-triterpenes are important for the anti-complement activity against the classical pathway.

Antioxidative effectiveness and oxidized products in mixture of methyl linoleate(ML) and phenolic compounds were investigated under oxygen blowing at $37^{\circ}C$ for 9 days. Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxy cinnamate ; CML) and phloroglucinol(1,3,5-trihydroxy benzene ; PML) showed higher antioxidative effectiveness for methyl linoleate than 0.05% ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ (TML). Oxidized products in ML group were methyl 8-(2-furyl)-octanoate, 9,13-trans, cis hydroperoxide isomer, 9,13-trans, trans hydroperoxide isomer, and 9-TMSO-12,13-epoxy-10-octadecenoate. In CML group the oxidized products were methyl-8-(2-furyl)-octanoate, 9-trans, cis hydroperoxide isomer and 9-trans, trans hydroperoxide isomer, but 13-hydroxy isomer was not identified. It was shown that CML were oxidized more slowly than ML group and at 6th day of oxidation, caffeic quinone was found to be major oxidized product of caffeic acid. Oxidixed Products in PML group were methyl-8-(2-furyl)-octanoate, 9-trans, cis hydroperoxide isomer, and 9-trans, trans hydroperoxide isomer but phloroglucinol was not oxidized even at the 9th day of reaction.

This study was designed to investigate antioxidative activity of substances isolated from 25 kinds of useful plants resources toward free radical and human low density lipoprotein(LDL). Methanol extracts of Oenothers odorate had the highest antioxidative activity similar with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. Methanol extracts of Oenothers odorate was extracted again by the ethylacetate. The ethylacetate soluble acidic fraction obtained from methanol extract of Oenothers odorate showed highest activity toward human LDL. Each fraction was purified through Sepadex LH-20 chromatography by elution of chloroform-methanol mixture (90:10 v/v). Fraction, F-2 obtained from Oenothers odorate showed at highest levels of electron donating activity. Fraction, F-2 was identified as 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 3-hydroxycinnamic acid.

As a part of ongoing phytochemical research on Euonymus alatus leaves and twigs, we have isolated one new reissantane-type triterpene (1), together with eight known triterpenes, isoarborinol (2), friedelin (3), abruslactone A (4), $3{\beta},22{\alpha}$-dihydroxyolean-12-en-29-oic acid (5), $3{\alpha},22{\alpha}$-dihydroxyolean-12-en-29-oic acid (6), $3{\alpha},22{\beta}$-dihydroxyolean-12-en-29-oic acid (7), $22{\alpha}$-hydroxy-3-oxoolean-12-en-29-oic acid (8), demethylregelin (9). The structure of 1 has been elucidated as 24,24-dimethyl-reissant-7(8),25-dien-$3{\alpha}$-ol, by extensive 1D and 2D spectroscopic methods including $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, $^1H-^1H$ COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY. Anti-inflammatory activities of the isolated compounds were determined as potential regulating excessive inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Particularly, abruslactone A (4) and demethylregelin (9) showed the most potent activity, which effectively reduced the expression of iNOS protein and subsequent nitric oxide production induced by lipopolysaccharide in RAW264.7 cells.

A series of $3{\beta}$-substituted 5-androstene-$17{\beta}$-carboxamides were synthesized from analogs of $3{\beta}$-hydroxy-5-androstene-$17{\beta}$-carboxylic acid (1) with tert-butylamine, N,N-diethylamine and 3-aminopyridine and some compounds were epoxidized with mCPBA. A rat prostate testosterone $5{\alpha}$-reductase inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds was assessed by radioimmunoassay using [1,2,6,7-3H]-testosterone as substrate. All synthesized compounds showed lower activity than finasteride and the N-(3-pyridino)-$3{\beta}$-carboxycarbonyloxy-5-androstene-$17{\beta}$-carboxamide (12) showed weak inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$: $2.4{\times}10^{-7}M$).

Rapid gas chromatographic profiling method was applied to saliva from healthy subjects for the analysis of free organic acids. Saliva samples were first saturated with NaHCO$_{3}$ and extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous phase was solid-phase extracted using Chromosorb P as the adsorbent and diethyl ether as the eluent after the acidification and NaCl saturation, followed by triethylamine treatment. The resulting tiiethylammonium salts of acids were directly converted into stable tert.-butyl-dimethylsflyl derivatives, with subsequent analysis by dual-capiuary column gas chromatography and gas chromatograpy -mass spectrometry. From the ten saliva samples studied, twenty eight free organic acids including various fatty acids, hydroxy acids, dicarboxylic acids, md aromatic acids were tentatively identified. Among the acids identified , the concentration of lactic acid was highest for five saliva samples while $\alpha$-hydroxyisocaproic acid was most abundant for me sample, and succinic acid and glycolic acid for two samples. respectively. When the GC profiles were simplified to the corresponding acid retention index spectra of bar graphical form, they presented characteristic patterns for each individual.
