The butanol extract of paulownia tomentosa stem showed antibacterial activity against staphyl ococcus aureus (SG511, 285 and 503), Streptococcus pyogenes (A308 and A77) and Streptococcus farcium MD8b etc. The most active compound of the extractg was identified to be campneoside I, which had a minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of $150{\;}{\mu}g/ml$ against Strptococcus and Staphylococcus species. From such antibacterial activity, the methoxy group of campneoside I was posulated to be the essential element for the antibacterial activity.

Seeds of Paulownia coreana were collected, extracted with acetone-$H_2O$ (7 : 3, v/v), concentrated under reduced pressure and successively fractionated with n-hexane, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate and water on a separatory funnel. The $H_2O$ soluble fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column using aqueous methanol and ethanol-hexane as washing solvents. Two isomeric phenylethanoid glycosides, verbascoside (1) and isoverbascoside (2), and one epimeric phenylethanoid glycoside, campneoside II (3), were isolated and their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopical data.
