To elucidate phytotoxic effects on the growth of receptor plant, germination and growth experiment of selected species have been performed with aqueous extracts and volatile substances of leaf and of donor plant, Thuja orientalis. The extracts of T. inversely proportional to the concentration. Gas chromatography method was employed for analysis and indentification of phytotoxic substances from T. orientalis. Forty-two kinds of KDICicals including ${\alpha}-thujone$ were identified from T. orientalis essential oil. Bioassay was performed with 6 KDICical such as ${\alpha}-pinene, \;{\alpha}-terpinene, \;{\gamma}-terpinene, \; {\beta}-myrcene$, and among them bornyl acetate was the strongest growth inhibitor.

It was found that seed germination and seedling growth of selected species were inhibited by phytotoxic substance released from fir trees. The aqueous extracts of leaves caused significant inhibition in the seed germination of the receptor plants, Whereas seed germination of some species was not inhibited in extracts of leaves, but seedling elongation of the receptor plants was also decreased by the aqueous extract. Dry weight growth was slightly increased in lower concentration of the extract, while that was proportionally inhibited by higher concentration of the extracts. Chemical substances of fir trees were shown the biological toxicity. The GC method was employed for analysis of phytotoxic chemicals and sixteen chemical substances were identified such as benzoic, phenylacetic, etc. Also 33 volatile substances were identified from the fir tree. These chemical compounds are assumed the substances related to allelopathic potential of Abies holophylla plant species.

This study was undertaken to test for anti-Hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity of the aqueous extracts prepared from Eugenia caryophyllate, Ephedra sinica, Cinnamomum cassia. Aqueous extracts were assayed for the inhibition of HBV replication by measurement of HBV DNA and surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in the extracellular medium of HePG2 2.2.15 cells. All extracts decreased the levels of extracellular HBV virion DNA at concentrations ranging from 128 to 256 $\mu$g/ml and inhibited the production of HBsAg dose-dependently. Our findings suggest that these three hebal medicinal plants may have potential to develop as specific anti-HBV drugs in the future.

This study was undertaken to test for antiviral activity of the aqueous extracts prepared from 4 medicinal plants of Korea (Terminalia chebula, Sanguisorba officinalia, Rubus coreanus, Rheum palmatum). Aqueous extracts were assayed for the inhibition of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication by measurement of HBV DNA and surface antigen (HBsAg) levels in the extracellular medium of HepG2 2.2.15 cells. All extracts decreased the levels of extracellular HBV virion DNA at concentrations ranging from 64 to $128{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml$ and inhibited the production of HBsAg dose-dependently. Among the 4 tested plants, Terminalia chebula exhibits the most prominent anti-HBV activities. Our findings suggest that these 4 medicinal plants may have potential to develop as specific anti-HBV drugs in the future.

Aqueous extracts of garlic (Allium sativum) preparation were prepared after the samples were exposed to various heat treatments. A quantitative assessment of antimicrobial activities was carried out by determining the minimum inhibitory and microbicidal concentrations (MICs and MMCs) of the various extracts against some selected bacteria and fungi. The antimicrobial activity of garlic decreased as the heating temperature increased. This fact implies that alliinase may be the most critical rate-determinant to produce the activity when garlic is heated.

Japanese anise (Illicium anisatum L.) leaves were collected and ground after drying, then immersed with 50 % aqueous acetone for 3 days. After filtration, the extracts were fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform ($CHCl_3$), ethylacetate (EtOAc) and $H_2O$, and then freeze dried after concentration. A portion of EtOAc (3.12 g) and $H_2O$ (6.08 g) soluble fractions were chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column with various aqueous MeOH solution to isolate the compounds. Compound 1 ((+)-catechin) was isolated from EtOAc soluble fraction. Compounds 2 (quercetin), 3 (quercitrin) and 4 (2''-O-rhamnosylvitexin) were isolated from $H_2O$ soluble fraction. For the first time, quercitrin (3) and 2''-O-rhamnosylvitexin (4) of the isolated compounds were obtained from the extracts of japanese anise leaves.

본 연구는 쌀겨 추출물을 이용하여 일년생 잡초 피와 한련초에 대한 발아 및 초기 생육억제 효과를 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 멸균 및 비멸균 쌀겨 추출물에 의한 피의 발아율은 5%(w/v) 처리에서만 무처리에 비하여 처리 후 7일째에 각각 27%와 63% 억제효과를 보였다. 그러나 이 추출물에 대한 피의 초장과 생체중은 멸균 및 비멸균 추출물의 1% 이상 처리에서 유의적인 감소를 보였으며, 5% 처리에서 피의 초장과 생체중은 멸균유무에 관계없이 각각 $66{\sim}68%$와 $75{\sim}78%$ 억제효과를 보였다. 또한 멸균 및 비멸균 쌀겨추출물에 의한 한련초 발아율은 처리 후 7일에 0.5% 이상 처리부터 유의적인 발아억제를 보였다. 처리 후 7일째에 멸균한 쌀겨 추출물에 대한 한련초의 발아율은 4% 처리에서 비멸균 쌀겨 추출물에서는 5% 처리에서 완전히 억제되었다. 쌀겨 추출물에 대한 한련초의 초장과 생체중에 있어서도 발아율 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 쌀겨 추출물은 멸균한 추출물이 비멸균한 추출물보다 한련초의 발아 및 초기 생장억제에 더 민감한 반응을 나타내었으며 이들 추출물에 대해 피보다는 한련초가 더 민감하게 반응하였다. 따라서 쌀겨는 일부 잡초종자의 발아 및 초기 생육억제 효과에 대한 잠재성을 제시할 수 있었다.

Purple rice (Oryza sativa L. var. indica) cv. Kum Doisaket is cultivated in northern Thailand. This study evaluated the mutagenic and antimutagenic properties of hydrophilic and lipophilic components of purple rice using the Ames test. The seed and hull of purple rice were extracted with hexane, methanol, ethanol, and water. The methanol extracts had the highest amounts of phenolic acids and flavonoids, while the hexane extracts contained large amount of tocols and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol. None of the extracts were mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. The hexane extract of rice hull and the methanol extract of rice seed were strongly effective against aflatoxin B1- and 2-amino-3, 4 dimethylimidazo (4, 5-f) quinoline-induced mutagenesis, while aqueous extracts showed weakly antimutagenic properties. All extracts with the exception of aqueous extracts enhanced the number of revertant colonies from benzo (a) pyrene induced-mutagenesis. None of the extracts inhibited mutagenesis induced by the direct mutagens 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-acrylamide and sodium azide. The hull extracts showed more potent antimutagenicity than the seed extracts. Based on a chemical analysis, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol and ${\gamma}$-tocotrienol in the hull and cyanidin-3-glucoside and peonidin-3-glucoside in the seed are candidate antimutagens in purple rice. The antimutagenic mechanisms of purple rice might be related to either modulation of mutagen metabolizing enzymes or direct attack on electrophiles. These findings supported the use of Thai purple rice as a cancer chemopreventive agent.

본 실험은 결명자(決明子)(Cassia tora L.)의 재배지에서 타작물이나 잡초의 생육이 저해되는 현상이 단순한 물리적 조건의 경쟁뿐 아니라 타감작용(allelopathy)에 기인함을 탐색함과 동시에 결명자의 자가독성을 확인하는 연구로서, 결명자 식물의 종자와 잎의 수용성 추출액 및 휘발성분이 무우(십자화과), 벼(화본과), 녹두(두파)등의 발아와 유묘성장에 미치는 영향을 살펴 본 결과는 다음과 같다. 1 결명자 종자의 수용성 타감물질에 의한 저해효과에 대해, 벼는 발아보다 유묘성장이 더욱 민감하게 저해되었고, 반면 무우는 발아가 배축의 길이 성장보나 더 민감하게 저해되었다. 2. 결명자 종사의 수용성 추출액 처리에 의해 추출액의 처리농도가 커질수록 벼 유묘의 엽록소 함량은 무처리구의 50%에서 65%까지 감소하였다. 3. 결명자 잎의 수용성 추출액 처리에 의해 무는 배추길이와 생체량이, 벼는 발아가 저해되었으나, 녹두는 단지 생체량에서 약간의 저해를 보였다. 4. 결명자 미숙종자의 휘발성분은 무우의 발아와 생육에 저해작용이 있으며, 특히 뿌리의 생장이 발아나 배축성장보다 더 민감하게 저해되었다. 5. 결명자 잎의 휘발성 성분은 무우, 벼, 녹두의 발아나 생육에 저해적인 타감작용 효과를 나타냈으며, 특히 발아보다는 유묘의 성장이 더 많이 저해되었다. 6. 결명자 잎의 휘발성분에 의해 결명자 스스로의 발아와 유근 성장이 저해되는 자가중독 현상이 확인되었다. 7. 결과적으로, 결명자의 종자와 잎에는 일부 타식물에 대하여 타감작용과 아울러 자가중독을 유발하는 수용성 및 휘발성 물질이 존재하는 것으로 인정된다.

The effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of the leaves of Ocimum. sanctum was studied on the spontaneous movements of the whole worm (w.w) preparation and nerve muscle (n.m.) complex of Setaria cervi (S. cervi) and on the survival of microfilariae (m.f.) in vitro. Both the extracts caused inhibition of the spontaneous motility of the w.w. and n.m. complex of S. cervi characterized by initial stimulation followed by reversible paralysis, aqueous extract at a higher concentration showed immediate effect and irreversible paralysis. The concentration required to inhibit the movements of n.m. complex was $1/4^{th}$ for aqueous and $1/3^{rd}$ for alcoholic extract compared to that for the w.w., suggesting a cuticular permeability barrier. On the m.f. the lethal concentration (LC 50 and LC 90) were 35 and 50 ng/ml for aqueous whereas, 60 and 85 ng/ml for alcoholic extracts respectively.
