The objectives of this present study were to compare the contents and determine optimum extraction conditions for the rosmarinic acid (RA) and caffeic acid (CA) from leaves of Korean Perilla frutescens varieties. RA and CA from leaves of cv. Bora, a breeding line of P. frutescens were isolated and elucidated using various spectroscopic data. On the basis of 2 phenolic acids, optimum extraction conditions were obtained by employing 50% EtOH for 60 min at $25^{\circ}C$. We reported for the first time on the contents of RA and CA from leaves of 32 Korean varieties. Among them, leaves of P. frutescens Brit. var. acuta Kudo I exhibited the highest RA content ($8.53{\pm}0.57$ mg/g) and CA content ($2.33{\pm}0.11$ mg/g) showed the highest in the P. frutescens Brit. var. viridis Makino. Interestingly, average RA content ($2.66{\pm}0.17$ mg/g) showed a markedly higher than that of CA ($1.98{\pm}0.16$ mg/g) in Korean varieties. These results suggest that concentrations of the RA and CA in P. frutescens leaves could be a key factor in the selection process of a high quality species.

Gall duct cannulated rats were given daphnetin, umbelliferone, 4-hydroxy-coumarin, dicoumarol, 4,7-dihydroxycoumarin, 4,7-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-coumarin, coumarin-3-carboxylic acid, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid by duodenal catheter at room temperature and output of bile flow was detected. All of the subjected compounds in this experiment indicated a significant effect on the biliary elimination except cinnamic acid alone. It is suggested that a relationship exists between chemical pattern and biological activity for coumarin derivatives and their precursors, and that the choleretic activity of these compounds requires hydroxylated cinnamic acid structure as the most fundamental chemical pattern.

Two phenylpropanoids and one flavan 3-ol were isolated from Lepisorus thunbergianus (Polypodiaceae, fern), which is used as folkmedicine. Phenylpropanoids were identified as caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, and flavan 3-ol was elucidated as (-)-epicatechin 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside by physico-chemical and spectral evidences (HMQC, NOESY).

In this study, antioxidative effectiveness of BHA, BHT at 0.02%(w/w) was compared with those of separated free phenolic acid, ester form and insoluble bound phenolic acid which were extracted from 50 g of Terminalia chebula Retz by MeOH/aceton solvents. Antioxidative effectiveness was measured by peroxide values and TBA values for 7 days, storaging respective substrates and contrast tube at $45{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 35days. Laboratory tubes was added by BHA, BHT, separated free, soluble and insoluble phenolic acid extracts and peroxide value of contrast tube after 21 day storage were 60, 30, 14, 11, 100. On the other hand, at the same conditions, TBA values of each antioxidants were 0.150, 0.108, 0.105, 0.073, 0.078, 0.185. This results remarkably appeared antioxidative effectiveness in meal soybean oil substrates. Phenolic acid separated and identificated were p-coumaric acid, Ferulic acid, Phloroglucinol, Pyrogallol, Vanillic acid and Caffeic acid.

Phellinus linteus mycelia have many pharmacological effects, although their pharmacological efficacy principles have not been known yet. In the course of screening for biological activity of the extracts of Phellinus linteus mycelia, we found strong antioxidative activity in some fraction of water-insoluble. Therefore, we tried to isolate the active principle(s) from the extract. The isolation of the active compound was guided by superoxide anion radical scavenging activity. As a result, caffeic acid was isolated as an active compound. The IC$\_$50/ of the compound was 3.05 $\mu$g/ml (16.9$\mu$M).

The MeOH extract of Notopterygium incisum showed a strong cytotoxicity against B16 murine melanoma cell line. From this extract three furanocoumarins including bergamottin, isoimperatorin, notopterol and one polyacetylenic compound (falcarindiol) together with one phenylpropanoid (caffeic acid methyl ester) and one triterpenoid (pregnenolone) were isolated. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against four kinds of cancer cell lines, e.g. P388 (murine lymphocytic leukemia), B16 (murine melanoma), A549 (human lung carcinoma) and SK-OV-3 (human ovarian cancer). Among the isolates, falcarindiol and caffeic acid methyl ester expressed a significant antiproliferative activity against all tested cell lines.

From the whole plants of Bothriospermum tenellum (Boraginaceae) four phenolic compounds, kaempferol, caffeic acid, $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ and $kaempferol-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ have been isolated and characterized by physicochemical and spectral means.

MeOH extract of Cuscuta chinensis seeds was fractionated with n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH successively, and antioxidant activities were tested for all fractions using DPPH free radical scavenging method. In the tested fractions, EtOAc fraction showed high antioxidant activity$(EC_{50},\;50\;{\mu}g)$ From the EtOAc fraction, five compounds have been isolated. On the basis of spectral data, these compounds were identified as ${\beta}-sitosterol$, methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamate, ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, caffeic acid, quercetin, kaempferol and calycopteretin. Among these compounds, ${\beta}-sitosterol$ and ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ showed no antioxidant activity. $EC_{50}$ values of methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxycinnamate, caffeic acid, quercetin, kaempferol and calycopteretin were 0.6, 8, 19, 17 and $12\;{\mu}g$, respectively.
