This study examined the effects of flavors, which are usually added to improve the appeal of pharmaceutical agents, on the viscosity and gelling point of 18% (w/w) aqueous poloxamer 407 solutions. Monoterpenes, esters, alcohols, aldehyde ketones and lactone type flavors were examined. The concentrations of flavor ranged from 0.1 to 1.0%(w/w). After adding a flavor to the aqueous poloxamer 407 solution, the viscosity of the solution was measured using a Brookfield viscometer, and the gelling point was determined from the viscosity vs. temperature plot. The gelling point of the aqueous poloxamer 407 solution decreased with increasing concentration of flavors except for coumarin, vanillin and ethylvanillin. Thermal analysis with DSC showed an interaction between the flavors and poloxamer 407. These results suggest that the flavors bind to the hydrophilic end chains of poloxamer 407, which increases the viscosity, causing gelation at lower temperatures.

This paper was investigated to clarify the possibility of ammonia-gas removal by essential oil. First of all, the chemical analysis was performed to analyze the composition of an essential oil by GC-MS. The monoterpenes in an essential oil react with ammonia by neutralization and their reaction mechanism was elucidated. Based on their chemical neutralized reaction, the removal efficiencies of ammonia gas were studied to derive the optimal conditions in the scrubber tower such as optimal temperature and pH. The experimental result shows that the removal efficiency of ammonia gas was achieved over 80 % by the misty aerosol dispersion of scrubber tower.

Bifunctional monoterpene 유도체의 향의 유무는 분자내에 존재하는 두 개의 관능기인, proton donor(AH)와 proton acceptor(B)가 olfaction과 구조활성 상호작용(SAR)과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 일반적으로 Ohloff가설에 의하면, p-menthane monoterpene 분자내의 AH와 B의 입체배위적 최소거리가 3${\AA}$ 이하인 경우 향을 갖고, 3${\AA}$ 이상인 경우는 향을 갖지 않는다. Bifunctional pinanone, thujane, carane, carvomenthone 및 기타 menthone 유도체 등을 이용하여 이 가설을 확대 연구하였다. Bifunctional monoterpene인 (원문이미지참조) 등은 분자내에 각각 AH (OH 혹은 COOH)와 B (C=O)의 입체배위적 최소 거리가 항상 3${\AA}$ 이하여서 향을 가지며, 이들은 olfactory three point attachment에 의한 구조활성 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 사료된다. 상기 화합물의 proton donor인 OH, 혹은 COOH가 각각 acetylation이나 methylation되는 경우에는 proton donor로서의 기능 상실로 향이 사라지게 되었다.

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of a methanolic extract of Buddleja officinalis led to the isolation of two monoterpenes, crocusatin M (1), crocusatin C (2), a flavonoid, acacetin (3), three lignans, lariciresinol (4), pinoresinol (5), and syringaresinol (6), and two triterpenoidal saponins, mimengoside B (7) and songarosaponin A (8). The structures of isolates were identified based on 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS data analysis. All isolates were tested for their inhibition on LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. As a result, mimengoside B (7) and songarosaponin A (8) showed a mild inhibitory activity of NO production.

Acute bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) are essentially lung inflammatory disorders. Various plant extracts and their constituents showed therapeutic effects on several animal models of lung inflammation. These include coumarins, flavonoids, phenolics, iridoids, monoterpenes, diterpenes and triterpenoids. Some of them exerted inhibitory action mainly by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and nuclear transcription $factor-{\kappa}B$ activation. Especially, many flavonoid derivatives distinctly showed effectiveness on lung inflammation. In this review, the experimental data for plant extracts and their constituents showing therapeutic effectiveness on animal models of lung inflammation are summarized.

Essential oil of the root of Angelica decursiva(Miq.) Fr. et Sav. (Umbelliferae) was investigated. Essential oil was obtained from the dried roots by steam distillation and fractionated by column chromatography. Each isolate or fraction was identified by GC, GC-MS and spectral analysis. It was found to contain ten monoterpenes such as ${\alpha}-pinene$ (7.0%) etc. Three hydrocarbons, two aldehydes, three sesquiterpenes, two sesquiterpene alcohols, one aromatic compounds, one ketone, isobonyl acetate and two lactones were tentatively identified.

Red algae in the genus Portieria produce secondary halogenated monoterpenes, which are effective deterrents against herbivores, as secondary metabolites. Portieria hornemannii samples from various sites contain different concentrations of these metabolites, suggesting the existence of genetic diversity and cryptic species. To evaluate the genetic diversity and species distribution of Portieria in the northwest Pacific, we analyzed rbcL sequences of samples collected from Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. The phylogenetic analysis revealed five distinct lineages at the species level. One was recognized as Portieria japonica and the others were cryptic lineages in P. hornemannii. The rbcL haplotypes of P. japonica were genetically fragmented into two subgroups of geographic origin; Korean and Japanese. The four cryptic lineages within P. hornemannii were also geographically structured at a much finer scale. These results suggest that different genetic lineages in Portieria evolved from variable microhabitats, consequently influencing secondary metabolites. Further study is required to resolve the relationships between genetic and secondary metabolite variations in Portieria.

Marrubium vulgare, plant species belonging to Marrubium genus, is widespread in the Mediterranean areas, introduced elsewhere and also cultivated in many countries. Its oil is recognized to possess a considerable biological activities with varied chemical composition. This paper aims to overview the chemical composition and biological activities of M. vulgare essential oil's considered as a medicinal plant, widely used in folk medicine overall the world. In essential oils of M. vulgare, germacrene D, ${\beta}$-caryophyllene, ${\beta}$-bisabolene, bicyclogermacrene and carvacrol are generally considered as either mains or minor constituents and each species presents its own composition. Sesquiterpenoids were the dominant fraction while monoterpenoids were present in appreciable or in trace amount. Oxygenated fractions dominated in monoterpenes however, hydrocarbon fraction overpowered in sesquiterpenes. These oils are biologically active, they exhibit an antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and other activities. Due to the variability of composition of essential oil, further studies are necessary, particularly regarding their chemical's which may cause an important change in the biological activities of oils and probably defined different chemotype.

Natural products have been used as drugs and cosmetics due to their bioactivity and their biochemical diversity. Natural products usually refer to secondary metabolites produced by various living organisms including marine animals, insects, microbes, amphibians, and plants. These secondary metabolites, which usually have molecular weights less than 2,000 amu, are unnecessary for survival, development, growth, and reproduction but play major roles in plant defense systems against other species. These secondary metabolites such as lignans, flavonoids, monoterpenes, and phenylethanoid glycosides showed various biological activities like anti-oxidant behavior, anti-cancer properties, neuroprotective properties, and so forth. Thus, isolation and elucidation of secondary metabolites from living organisms is of great significance to human life.

한국은 국토의 약 63%가 산림으로 구성되어 있고, 16%가 농경지로 구성되어 있어 도심에서 발생하는 NOx가 산림지역과 농경지에서 발생하는 BVOCs와 결합하여 오존을 생성할 가능성이 높다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 한국의 자연 식생 BVOCs 배출을 추정하기 위해 MODIS의 토지피복 자료와 엽면적지수 자료를 이용하여 입력자료를 생성한 후 MEGAN 모델로 BVOCs의 주요 배출 물질인 이소프렌과 모노테르펜을 대상으로 2012년 6월 한 달 간 모델링을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 해당기간 동안 이소프렌은 10,495 ton, 모노테르펜은 2,709 ton이 배출되었다. 기존 국내에서 BEIS와 CORINAR를 이용하여 연구된 이소프렌의 배출량은 약 24,000 ton, 모노테르펜은 25,000 ton으로 나타났는데, 본 연구와 배출량 차이가 나타난 주된 이유는 모델 알고리즘 차이와 모델 구동 시점에서의 일사량과 기온 등 기상 조건의 차이에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 그리고 모델링 결과와 측정 값의 비교를 위하여, 6월 11일부터 12일까지 이틀 간에 걸쳐, 한국 태화산에서 활엽수의 이소프렌과 침엽수의 모노테르펜 챔버 측정 값을 항공라이다와 방형구 식생자료를 기반으로 산정된 엽생체량 값을 이용하여 산림 단위의 BVOCs 배출량으로 환산하였다. 태화산 지역에서의 MEGAN 모델과 측정 간 BVOCs 배출량을 비교한 결과, 시간적인 배출 경향은 유사했으나 이소프렌은 MEGAN 모델에서 최대 6.4배 정도 배출량이 높게 나타났고, 모노테르펜은 최대 5.6배 정도 배출량이 높게 나타났다. MODIS에서 제공되는 토지피복 자료가 한국의 토지피복 특성을 잘 반영하지 못함에도 불구하고 MEGAN 모델링 결과가 측정 값과 다른 모델에 비해 상대적으로 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 것은 MEGAN 내에 기온, 일사량 등에 의해 식생의 BVOCs 배출량을 변환시키는 파라미터들이 현실을 비교적 적절하게 반영하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 국내의 BVOCs 배출량을 MEGAN 모델을 활용하여 산정하였고, 산림지에서의 실측 자료와 비교를 통해 배출량을 평가하였다는데 의의가 있으며, 산림과 대기 간의 BVOCs 상호작용 연구에 작은 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 국내 BVOCs 배출량을 더 정확하게 추정하기 위해서는 지형과 식생의 특성을 더욱 최신으로 반영한 토지피복 및 엽면적지수 자료의 이용, 그리고 수목 및 농작물 등과 같이 개별 식생에 따른 배출계수 등의 대한 연구가 향후에 심도 있게 이루어져야 할 것이다.
