The activity-oriented fractionation of Psoralea corylifolia led to an isolation of a (+) bakuchio 1 as an activ eprinciple of its antitumoral property in vitro 1 was observed to exhibit a mild cytotoxicity against five kinds of cultured human cancer cell lines, i. e. the A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF-498 and HCT15. The synthesized 2, 3-epoxide of (+)-bakuchiol 3 showed the similar activity as the (+) bakuchiol 1, whereas the other oxidation derivatives 4 and 5 including the acetyl (+) bakuchiol 2 showed a decreased activity.

Repeated column chromatography of an ethyl acetate extract of the root bark of Albizzia julibrissin Durazz afforded four compounds, euscaphic acid ester glucoside (1), luteolin-7 -O-neohesperidoside (2), (+)-medioresinol (3), (-)-syringaresinol (4). Their structures were determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-4 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Among these compounds, (+)-medioresinol (3) exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against XF 498 and HCT 15 cell line.

Three naphthopyrone glucosides, cassiaside (1), $rubrofusarin-6-O-{\beta}-D-gentiobioside$ (2), and $toralactone-9-O-{\beta}-D-gentiobioside$ (3), were isolated from the BuOH-soluble extract of the seeds of Cassia tora as active constituents, using an in vitro bioassay based on the inhibition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) to monitor chromatographic fractionation. The structures of 1-3 were determined by spectroscopic data interpretation, particularly by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies. All the isolates (1-3) were evaluated for the inhibitory activity on AGEs formation in vitro.

A new saponin, 3-O-[${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl$(1{\rightarrow}2)$-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl$(1{\rightarrow}2)$-${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranosyl]soyasapogenol B carboxylate (6) has been isolated from the medicinal plant yellow sweetclover together with azukisaponin II(7), robinin(8), and clovin(9). 7,8, and 9 are reported for the first time from this plant. The new saponin(6) exhibited inhibitory action on leucocyte migration in inflammation.

Effect of isoliquiritigenin isolated from the heartwood of Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Leguminosae) on mushroom tyrosinase activity was investigated in vitro using L-tyrosine and L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as the substrates. When L-tyrosine was used as a substrate, both isoliquiritigenin and kojic acid, a positive control, inhibited tyrosinase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. IC$_{50}$ values of isoliquiritigenin and kojic acid were 61.4 and 52.2 ${\muM}$, respectively. However, isoliquiritigenin showed week inhibitory effect on the oxidation of L-DOPA by tyrosinase with inhibition ratio of 9.1 ${\pm}$ 7.1% at 100 ${\muM}$. It is also suggested that 3-unsubstituted and 4-hydroxyl phenyl group in isoliquiritigenin plays an important role on the inhibition of tyrosinase activity when L-tyrosine was used as a substrate. Analysis of Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that isoliquiritigenin acts as a competitive inhibitor in case of L-tyrosine as a substrate.

Anti-lipid peroxidative activity and phytochemical study on the leaves of Glycine max Meer. were investigated. The methanol extract of the leaves of G. max reduced the level of lipid peroxides induced by bromobenzene in vitro. From the leaves of this plant, apigenin, genistein $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, kaempferol $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, and kaempferol 3-O-sophoroside were isolated and characterized by spectral data.

Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Grata/aria sessiliflora L. led to the isolation of four flavonoids. The structures of these compounds were identified as 2',4',5,7-tetrahydroxy-isoflavone (1), 2',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone (2), 4',7-dihydroxyflavone (3), and isovitexin (4) using spectroscopic analysis. Among these, compounds 2, and 3 have not been reported from Crotalaria species, whereas compounds 1, and 4 were reported from this plant for the first time.

From the EtOAc fraction of the MeOH extract of Albizzia julibrissin (Leguminosae）, a rare 5-deoxyflavone (geraldone, 1）, isookanin (2）, luteolin (3）, an isoflavone (daidzein, 4）, five prenylated flavonoids ［soph6f1avescenol (5）, kurarinone (6）, kurarinol (7）, kuraridin (8） and kuraridinol (9）］, a cerebroside (soya-cerebroside I, 10）, and $(-)-syringaresinol-4-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (11） were isolated and characterized on the basis of spectral data. Compounds 2, 3, and 11, showed 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity.

Albizzia julibrissin Durazz (Leguminosae) is a small domed to flat-topped, spreading tree with smooth. gray-brown bark and doubly pinnate leaves. It grows abundantly in Korea. The dried stem bark of A. julibrissin is used as a tonic in China, Japan and Korea. From the stem bark of A. ju/ibrissin, a new unsaturated hydroxy fatty acid was isolated and characterized as 4-hydroxy-dodec-2E-enedioic acid on the basis of several data including 2D-NMR. (omitted)
