The profile and concentration of monoterpene metabolites in the leaf and stem of Artemisia princeps var. orientalis were quantified, and seasonal variation in monoterpenes of Artemisia plant was investigated. Samples were taken from five sites at the campus of Kyungnam University during maturing season. Monoterpenes in leaf and stem were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major constituents of A. princeps var. orientalis in both the leaf and stem were 21 monoterpenes.$ {\alpha}-pinene,\;{\beta}-pinene,\;{\beta}-myrcene$, dl-limonene, naphthalene and unknown monoterpenes with 5.49 and 16.27 of retenstion time were present in high concentrations of compounds identified on the leaf and stem of A. princeps var. orientalis. The cmounts of total monoterpenes of leaf were from two to five times higher than stem and rapidly decreased with the time, while that of stem was constnat except early spring. Most of the high percentage of monoterpenes in the leaf were those with later retention time. These results indicated that monoterpenes yields are considered to be more variable than monoterpene composition in responding to the time in both the leaf and stem.

The composition and concentration of monoterpenes in the leaves of Artemisia japonica were determined. And seasonal variation in monoterpenes of A. japonica were investigated. Samples were taken from five sites at Mt. Muhak. Monoterpenes in the leaves were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The leaf monoterpene fractions were dominated by R.T. 5.026, ${\alpha}-thujene$, sabinene, ${\beta}-pinene$, cyclohexane (R.T.=12.859) and R.T. 23.149. There were marked seasonal differences in concentration and composition of leaf monoterpenes. There were many kinds of monoterpenes in leaf of spring time, however most of monoterpenes concentration was small. On the other hand, there were not many kinds of monoterpenes in late time, but monoterpene concentrations were increased.

The monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes are analysed in the leaf and stem of Chrysanthemum boreale using gas chromaltography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The total amount of sesquiterpenes are always higher than monoterpenes in both leaf (2.0-3.4 times) and stem (1.6-8.3 times). The mono- and sesquiterpenes yields of the leaf are higher than the stem. There was no significant difference among the leaf developmental stages, while those of stem were varied. Seventeen monoterpenes and 9 sesquiterpenes compound in this plants comprised more than 5% of the mean total monoterpenes and the total sesquiterpenes in each dates. Among leaf monoterpenes, the concentration of (+)-Limonene and unknown compound no. 13 (Retention time, R.T.=17.28) varied significantly during leaf growing season, and the concentrafion of unknown compound no. 7 (R.T.=35.04) and no. 9(R.T.=35.71) varied in the leaf sesquiterpenes. Similarly the results from the leaf, the concentration of five monoterpenes in stem also varied significantly during maturing period, and much varied in seven compounds of stem sesquiterpene. The major sesquiterpenes of leaf and stem were ${\alpha}-Humulene$ and compound no. 2(R.T.=26.19).

돼지풀 잎의 성장이 plastochron index(PI)에 의해 계산되었으며 돼지풀 잎의 monoterpenes함량과 조성이 PI에 따라 조사되었다. 돼지풀은 PI 2.0부터 monoterpene의 총함량이 계속적으로 증가하였으며, PI 11.89때 최고의 양을 지닌 것으로 나타났다. 돼지풀에서 동정된 monoterpene들은 약 29개의 화학물질들로서, 그 가운데 No. 2, octene, α-pinons, β-myrcene, 1,3,6-octatrine, endo-borneol, (-)-bornyl acetate가 대표적으로 많이 함유된 monoterpene들이었다.

Thirteen monoterpenes were examined for their effects on the bovine lens aldose reductase activity. the monoterpenes tested in this study showed mild inhibitory effects except 3-carene which did not show any significant effect. At the concentration of $10^{-3}$ M(+) Pulegon showed 42% inhibition on lens aldose reductase activity, which is the most otent effect among the tested substance.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the anticancer activity of monoterepenes in the animal and the cancer cell line tests. Both of the noncyclic and cyclic monoterpenes showed significant life prolonging effects on ICR mouse with abdominal cancer induced by Sarcoma 180 cells up to 67.4％ and 63.5％ in case of linalool and geraniol, respectively. Linalool and geraniol also exhibited very excellent cytotoxicity against L1210 leukemic cells with $IC_{50}$/ value of 0.32 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι in 5 days culture condition. In the presence of linalool and geraniol, the generation of $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ ion were found to be increased proportionally to the cytotoxicity arisen from these monoterpenes. Furthermore, the antioxidant enzymes activities such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) responsible for the conversion of $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ ion to $H_2O$$_2$ and then to $H_2O$ augmented remarkably by linalool and geraniol. All data put together it can be postulated that monoterpenes may kill abdominal cancer cells of ICR mouse probably by activating anticancer system of the body, whereas the death of L1210 cells may be due to the detrimental attacks of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including $O_2$$^{[-10]}$ in spite of antioxidant enzymes activities to overcome the ROS attacks.

Eight natural or semistynthesized monoterpenes were examined for their effects in rat brain monoamine oxidase(MAO) using benzylamine as substrate. Thujone and 3-carene were found to have the inhibition effects on rat brain MAQ activity, 38% and 95% inhibition at 103M respectively. The kinetic study on 3-carene, the most potent inhibitive type. But (+) pulegon and (-) isopulegon was found to activate MAO slightly.

Carvomethone, (+) pulegone, (-)isopulegol and (-) menthone, which are natural and widely distributed in the plantkingdom, were examined for their Lens Aldose Reductase inhibitory effects. All monoterpenes tested showed that the mild inhibitory effects. Inhibition percents of four monoterpenes were in the range of 23-42% at $10^{-3}M$ and 5-21% at $10^{-4}M$.

본 연구에서는 2014년 3월부터 11월까지 지리산 심원마을에서 enclosure chamber를 이용하여 소나무 잎과 가지에서 방산되는 monoterpene과 숲 공기 중의 monoterpene의 농도 변화와 물질에 대해서 시계열 분석을 하였다. 소나무 잎과 가지에서 방산되는 주요 monoterpene 물질은 α-pinene, β-myrcene, β-phellandrene, β-pinene으로 나타났다. monoterpene 방산량은 6월부터 증가하기 시작하여 8월에 가장 높은 농도를 나타낸 후 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 시간별 monoterpene 방산량은 13:00~14:00, 15:00~16:00, 09:00~10:00 순서로 높게 나타냈고 온도가 증가함에 따라 monoterpene의 농도는 증가하였고 특히 20℃ 이상에서 크게 증가하였다. 한편 숲 공기 중에 존재하는 monoterpene의 농도는 3월, 4월 증가해서 5월 최고점을 나타냈고 7월과 11월에 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 숲 공기 중 monoterpene의 주요 물질은 α-pinene, β-pinene, camphene으로 잎과 가지에서 방산되는 monoterpene 물질과 차이가 있었다. 소나무 잎과 가지에서 방산되는 monoterpene 농도는 13:00~14:00, 15:00~16:00 순서로 높게 나타났으며 숲 공기 중에서는 09:00~10:00에 높았던 농도가 감소하면서 13:00~14:00 시간에 가장 낮은 농도를 나타냈으며 17:00~18:00이 가장 높은 농도를 나타냈다.

The biogenic emission of the atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the forests is dominated by monoterpenes. This study investigated the changes in the concentration of monoterpenes distributed in various types of forest near the Gangwon Nature Environment Research Park, Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, Korea. Samples were collected from the three sites of different types of forest, including coniferous, broad-leaved and mixed forests. Additionally, the seasonal and daily changes of monoterpene compounds were monitored. Our results found the several types of monoterpene such as ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, camphene, d-limonene, p-cymene and ${\alpha}$-terpinene. The highest total concentration of terpene compounds was observed in the coniferous forest. For the summer season, the total concentration of terpene compounds was highest in coniferous and mixed forests, and that was also highest in broad-leaved forest for the autumn.
