A phenolic glucoside and two steroidal sapogenins were isolated from the aerial part of Solanum Iyratum (Solanaceae). They were identified as 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid glucose ester (1), ${\Delta}^{3,5}$-deoxytigogenin ((25R)-spirosta-3,5-diene) (2), diosgenin (($3{\beta}$, 25R)-spirost-5-en-3-ol) (3), respectively by several spectroscopic methods including IR, MS and NMR. Compound 1 has not been previously isolated from Solanaceae plants. Compounds 2 and 3 are isolated from S. Iyratum for the first time in the present study.

Alcoholic extract of Spathodea campanulata P. aerial parts, and two of the isolated fractions from celite column showed strong antioxidant activity (92, 94 & 89% RSA, Radical Scavenging Activity). Phytochemical investigation of chloroform/EtOAc faction of this column led to the isolation of phenolic acids, caffiec acid (1), and ferulic acid (2), fraction EtOAc/MeOH on further fractionation afforded 3 Flavonoids, kampferol 3-O-glucoside (3), quercetin 3-methyl ether (4) and 8-methoxy kampferol 3-O-glucoside (5). The isolated constituents were identified by co chromatography with authentic samples, TLC, PC., UV, MS and $^1H-NMR$. Also the lipoidal matter of the plant was studied. The unsaponifiable matter was found to be mixture of hydrocarbons from $(C_{14}-C_{28})$, cholesterol, campasterol, stigmasterol, and ${\alpha}-amyrin$. Fatty acid methyl esters were found to contain 12 fatty acids. The fatty acids containing $C_{18}$ farmed ca.65% of the total mixture.

We have previously reported the isolation of nine hydrolisable tannins and five flavonoids from the aerial parts of Euphorbia ebracteolata. Further investigation about the same plant has led to the isolation of 5-O-caffeoyl quinic acid, kaempferol $3-O-(2'-O-galloyl-{\beta}-_D-glucoside)$ and euphorbin A.

Lactuca raddeana (Compositae) is used to treat obesity and complications due to diabetes. The five phenolic compounds including chlorogenic acid, chicoric acid, luteolin 7-O-glucoside, luteolin 7-O-glucuronide, luteolin were qualitatively identified by LC-ESI-MS analysis. The contents were quantitatively determined by HPLC, under the condition of a Capcell Pak C18 column ($5{\mu}m$, $250mm{\times}4.6mm\;i.d.$) and a gradient elution of 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and 0.05% TFA in $MeOH-H_2O$ (60 : 40). The contents of chicoric acid (100.99 mg/g extract) and luteolin 7-O-glucoside (101. 69 mg/g extract) were high, while those of other three phenolic substances were very low. The 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells treated with chicoric acid and luteolin 7-O-glucuronide significantly suppressed the accumulation of fat, suggesting they are effective against obesity. Since high level of peroxynitrite (ONOO) causes cardiovascular disease in obese patients, its scavenging activity was also studied.

Akebiae caulis have been used in folk medicines for diuretic, menstrual pain, and diuretic pain. It has been also resolved nephritis and cystitis. In this study, we isolated three phenolic compounds from 70% methanol extract using the open column chromatography. These isolated compounds which were 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and syringoylglycerol 2-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside were determined by physico-chemical apparatus. Furthermore, we conducted DPPH and ABTS assay in order to screen the antioxidant activity of isolated three compounds. Also, we developed a rapidly HPLC-UV analysis method of two phenolic compounds (2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) for evaluating the Akebiae Caulis collected 30 samples from different regions. From the experiments, all three isolated compounds showed the significant antioxidant activity. We suggested that the content criteria of marker compounds were shown by a simple and rapid HPLC-UV method. The contents respectively were 0.009% (2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside) and 0.036% (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid).

Contents of isoflavone, phenolic acids, tocopherol, and anthocyanin in black soybean (Glycine max) were measured by HPLC. To compare antioxidative activities of main black soybean components, antioxidative effects of the same levels of commercial standard components were measured by Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay (TEAC). Most effective component was gentisic acid followed by anthocyanin, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, genistein, syringic acid, and daidzein. TEAC assay results revealed genistein in isoflavone, gentisic acid in phenolic acids, p-tocopherol in tocopherol, and anthocyanin showed highest antioxidative and synergistic acitivities, with anthocyanin showing strongest synergy effect.

Antioxidative compounds contained in roasted safflower seeds were investigated. Six phenolic compounds, N-feruloylserotonin, N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin, matairesinol, 8'-hydroxyarctigenin, acacetin 7-Ο-β-D-glucoside(tilianine) and acacetin were isolated and identified from the extract of seeds. The inhibitory effects of six phenolic compounds on 1,1-dipheny1-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical and lipid peroxidation induced by H₂O₂/FeSO₄in rat liver microsomes were determined. Two serotonins showed more potent DPPH radical scavenging activity, and a stronger inhibitory effect on the lipid peroxidation than that of α-tocopherol. In addition, acacetin and matairesinol also considerably inhibited lipid peroxidation, while 2-hydroxy-arctigenin and tilianine were inactive. These results suggest that phenolic compounds, including serotonins, lignans and flavonoids in the roasted safflower seeds can be used as potential dietary natural antioxidants.

The photochemical study of Viscum album (Loranthaceae) led to the isolation of twelve compounds, lupeol (1), betulonic acid (2), betulinic acid (3), terminic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), $\beta$-sitosterol (6), $\alpha$- spinasterol (7), oleanolic acid (8) , 5-hydroxy-1- (4′-hydoxyphenyl) -7- (4"-hydroxyphenyl) -hepta-1- en-3-on (9), 2′-hydroxy -4′, 6′- dimethoxychalcone -4-O-glycoside (10) ,2′-hydroxy-4′, 6′-dimethoxychalcone -4-O- [apiosal(1longrightarrow12)]glucoside (11) and syringin (12). Their structures were established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. The cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds was evaluated by sulforhodamine B assay against five cultured human tumor cell lines.

Artichoke extracts are widely used alone or in association with other herbs for embittering alcoholic and soft drinks and to prepare herbal teas or herbal medicinal products in Viet Nam. The objective of this paper was a screening of flavonoids and total phenolic compounds content in the parts of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) as flowers, leaves, roots, trunks, stumps, The total phenolic compounds and flavonoids in the parts of artichoke were extracted among 3 extraction methods as methanol extraction (EM1), mixing methanol and water method (EM2) and water extraction method (EM3). Total phenolic compounds and flavonoids were determined by UV/VIS, HPLC techniques. The apigenin 7-O-glucosides, cynarin, narirutin, gallic acid, caffeic acid were found as the main flavonoids constituents in all parts of artichoke. It showed that value of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids by EM3 were higher than that of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids by EM1 and EM2. Furthermore, the results of this study revealed that total phenolic compounds and flavonoids, obtained by these convenient extraction methods, may show the quick efficacy of artichoke in all respects of their quality and quantity.
