Two xanthones and 4-phenylcoumarins were isolated from the twigs of Mesua beccariana (Baill.) Kosterm. Among them, one new xanthone, beccarianin A (1), along with 7-isoprenyl-jacareubin (2), mammea A/AA cyclo F (3), and mammea A/BA cyclo F (4). These structures were determined by spectrometric and spectroscopic methods, HRESIMS data, NMR, and UV spectra. Two xanthones (1-2) and two 4-phenylcoumarins (3-4) were evaluated for their cytotoxic effect on the HeLa cells. Compound 1 showed active activity (IC₅₀ = 8.2 µM), and compounds 3-4 showed moderate activity (IC₅₀ = 12.3 and 15.6 µM, respectively).

A new cinnamyl acid derivative, willughbein A (1) along with pinoresinol (2), alyterinate A (3), and scopoletin (4), were isolated from the roots of Willughbeia coriacea Wall. The structure of 1 has been determined based on HRESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR spectral data. All of the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against three human cancer cells (HeLa, T47D, MCF-7, and P-388). Compound 3 showed moderate activity against P-388 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 3.04 ㎍/mL.

Oxidation of artemisinic acid was attempted with chromium trioxide-pyridine complex. Epi-Deoxyarteannuin B was formed almost quantitatively, while expected keto artemisinic acid was not the major product. The physical and spectral data of the product are presented(Received March 9, 1990, Accepted May 25, 1990)

A new lignan, gossypiline (1) has been isolated from the aerial parts of Jatropha gossypifolia. The structure of 1 was established from its spectral data. The conversion of isogadain, a known lignan, to 1 confirmed the structure as well as the stereochemistry of 1.

Phytochemical investigation of leaves, barks and roots of Nauclea vanderguchtii led to the isolation of sixteen compounds, which includes one citric acid derivative (2), one alkaloid (16), one peptide derivative (3), and twelve triterpenes (1, 4 - 13). These compounds were identified as rotundanonic acid (1), 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid 2-methyl ester (2), asperphenamate (3), lupeol (4), stigmasterol (5), betulin (6), betulenic acid (7), stigmasterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), quinovic acid 3β-O-α-L-rhamnoside (9), α-amyrin (10), 3-oxoquinovic acid (11), ursolic acid (12), hederagenin (13), rotundic acid (14), clethric acid (15), and naucleficine (16) by the analysis of their NMR spectroscopic data including 2D NMR spectra and by comparison of their spectroscopic data reported in the literature. Compounds 1 and 3 were isolated for the first time in the genus Nauclea, and compound 2 was isolated for the first time from the Rubiaceae family. Complete NMR assignations for 1 have been published for the first time.

The catalytic oxidation of CO on perovskite $Eu_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$, has been investigated at reaction temperatures from 100 to $250^{\circ}C$ under stoichiometric CO and $O_2$ partial pressures. The microstructure and Sr-substitution site of the catalyst were studied by means of infrared spectroscopy. The reaction rates were found to be correlated with 1.5-and 1.0-order kinetics with and without a $CO_2$ trap, respectively; first-and 0.5-order with respect to CO and 0.5-order to $O_2$ with the activation energy of 0.37 eV $mol^{-1}$. It was found from IR, ${\sigma}$ and kinetic data that $O_2$ adsorbs as an ionic species on the oxygen vacancies, while CO adsorbs on the lattice oxygens. The oxidation reaction mechanism is suggested from the agreement between IR, ${\sigma}$ and kinetic data.

A pyridyl alkaloid, 3-pyridylcarbinol (1) and benzoic acid derivatives, 4-hydroxy benzoic acid (2), 4-hydroxyactophenone (3), vanilic acid (4), and benzoic acid (5) were isolated from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides on the basis of spectroscopic and physicochemical analyses including 1D- and 2D- NMR techniques as well as by comparison of their data with the published values. Compounds 1 - 5 were isolated for the first time from this plant source.

Geraniol (1) is the biogenetic precursor of a number of monoterpenes. We tested various marine-derived microorganisms to determine their ability to biotransform 1. Only Hypocrea sp. was capable of transforming 1 into its oxidized derivative, 1,7-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-(E)-oct-2-ene (2). The structure of the metabolite obtained was assigned on the basis of detailed spectroscopic data analyses.

Hematology and serum chemistry data were collected over a 12-yr period for California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) in Everland zoological Gardens. The objective of this study was to determine hematology and serum chemistry values for the California sea lion lived in fresh-water captive environment, including a comparison between male and female. The results didn't show any difference between male and female in statistics. However, hyponatremia was shown in some case compared with reported blood data of California sea lion. That was supposed that it was associated with a fresh-water captive environment.
