Eight flavonoids, apigenin-6-C-β-D-glucopyranosy l-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (AGG), quercetin 7-O-β-D­glucopyranoside (QG), luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (LG), quercetin 7-O-(6'-O-acetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (QAG), luteolin 7-O-(6'-O-acetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside(LAG), quercetin (Q), luteolin (L) and acacetin 7-O-β­D-glucuronide (AG) were determined by HPLC in the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) leaf during growth and processing. During growth, levels of five flavonoid glycosides (AGG, QG, LG, QAG, & LAG) in the leaf increased progressively at over time according to growth stages, reached a maximum before June 11, and then decreased sharply, while those of three flavonoid aglycones (Q, L, & AG) increased greatly at the early stage of growth, reached a peak before May 28, and then decreased rapidly. During the steaming process, contents of five flavonoid glycosides increased rapidly with increased steaming time, reached a maximum after 5 min of steaming, and then decreased, whereas those of flavonoid aglycones except for AG decreased sharply with increased steaming time. During the roasting process, contents of three flavonoid glycosides decreased rapidly with increased roasting time, whereas those of two acetylflavonoid glycosides (QAG & LAG) and three flavonoid aglycones increased progressively with increased roasting time, reached a maximum after 3 min of roasting, and then decreased. These results suggest that appropriate steamed and roasted safflower leaves are a rich source of flavonoids, and may be a good source of bioactive components as a functional leaf tea.

Night-break, 일장조절, 월동가온 실험으로부터 얻어진 바위솔에 포함된 flavonol glycoside, $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$(1), $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glactoside$ (2), $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-rhamnoside$ (3), $quercetin-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ (4) and $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-D-rhamnoside$ (5)의 함량이 분석되었으며 자연산 바위솔의 함량과 비교되었다. 월동가온 시험에서 얻은 flavonol glycoside 1-5의 함량은 자연산보다 감소하였으며 일장조절 실험 및 night-break 시험에서 얻은 flavonol glycoside 함량은 조사한 빛의 양이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 월동가온은 flavonol glycoside의 생성에 부정적으로 작용하는 반면 조사되는 빛의 양의 증가와 같은 경작조건은 flayonol glycoside의 생성에 유리하다.

The effects of aglycones moring and quercetin and their corresponding glycosides quercitrin and rutin were studied on the blood glucose levels of rats. Quercetin and quercetrin caused hypoglycaemia in rats while rutin and morin showed almost no difference. Quercetin, which showed 50% pronounced hypoglycaemic effects, reduced significantly the blood glucose level of alloxan diabetic rats.

A study was carried out to elucidate the relation between the production of flavonol glycosides and the change of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity in cell suspension cultures of Ginkgo biloba by the unassisted and synergistic effects of various factors. The quercetin production showed a mixed-growth-associated pattern in cell suspension cultures. Fluorescent light and UV radiation increased phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, and resulted in the increase of the production of quercetin and kaempferol ten- and four-fold, respectively, as compared to that obtained in the normal culture condition. The cell growth of Ginkgo biloba was enhanced .at higher temperatures whereas the quercetin production was at its maximum at low temperatures. Moreover, the quercetin production was increased by temperature change during the culture period. In particular, the quercetin production was at the highest level when the culture temperature was elevated from $10^{\circ}C\;to\;30^{\circ}C$. The addition of phenylalanine as a precursor in the culture medium stimulated an 8-fold increase in the production of quercetin; the addition of naringenin caused a l0-fold increase. The quercetin production was also greatly increased by feeding enzyme cofactors such as 2-ketoglutarate and ascorbic acid in the culture medium, but specific PAL activity was not increased except with phenylalanine feeding. The synergistic effect of UV radiation and naringenin feeding was observed, resulting in the increase of flavonol glycoside production at a rate higher than in any other case investigated.

For the investigation of medicinal resources the studies were carried out to evaluated the pharmaco-constituents in the Leaves of Parthenocissus tricuspidata(Vitaceae), of which leaves have been used in Korea as folk remedies for the treatments of arthritis, jaundice, toothache, neuralgia, and etc. From 1-butanol fraction of the MeOH extract, Compound I ($C_{21}H_{18}O_{13}$, Quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucuronopyranoside), Compound II ($C_{21}H_{20}O_{12}$, Quercetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside) and Compound III ($C_{25}H_{28}O_{12}$, Quercetin-3-O-(6"-n-butyl)-$\beta$-D-glucuronopyranoside) were isolated by column chromatographic separation using Sephadex LH-20 and ODS gel. Their structures were elucidated through instrumental analyses, such as $^{1}H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, IR, UV, El-Mass, FAB-Mass and GC. Especially compound III was Flavonol glycoside and named parthenosin.

Flavonoids have been demonstrated to exhibit a wide range of biological activities including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective actions. Although a significant amount of flavonoids has been identified to be present as glycosides in medicinal plants, determinations of the biological activities of flavonoids were mainly carried out with aglycones of flavonoids. Therefore, the exact role of the glycosidation of flavonoid aglycones needs to be established. In an attempt to understand the possible role of glycosidation on the modulation of the biological activities of flavonoids, diverse glycosides of kaempferol, quercetin, and aromadendrin were examined in terms of their anti-inflammatory activity determined with the suppression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in BV2 microglial cells. The results indicated that glycosidation of aglycones attenuated the suppressive activity of aglycones on LPS-induced NO production. Although attenuated, some of glycosides, depending on the position and degree of glycosidation, maintained the inhibitory capability of LPS-induced NO production. These findings suggest that glycosidation of flavonoid aglycones should be considered as an important modulator of the biological activities of flavonoids.

주목 잎을 채취하여 건조하고 아세톤-물 (7 : 3, v/v) 의 혼합액으로 추출한 후 에틸아세테이트 및 수용성 부분으로 분리하고 Sephadex-LH 20으로 충진한 칼럼을 이용하여 2개의 flavan 단량체와 2개의 후라보노이드 배당체를 단리하였다. 에틸아세테이트용성 추출물은 대부분 (+)-catechin 과 (-)-epicatechin으로 구성되어 있었으며 수용성 부분에서는 quercetin-3-0-arabinopyranosyl-($1"'{\rightarrow}6"$)-${\beta}$-D-glucoside와 quercetin-3-O-rutinoside 인 두 개의 탄수화물로 구성된 배당체를 분리하였으며 주목에서는 이들 화합물은 아직 보고된 바가 없다. 이들의 구조결정을 위하여 박층크로마토그래피를 실시하고 $^1H$-NMR과 $^{13}C$-NMR 스펙트럼을 기존의 스펙트럼과 비교, 분석하여 정확한 구조를 규명하였다.

To use onion(Allium cepa L.) residue as raw materials of food products, contents and stability of quercetin-related substance in onion were investigated. The amount of quercetin-related substance of onion was richer in the inedible portion(317.99mg%) than the edible protion(4.10mg%). Total quercetin-related substances of juice and residue from fresh onions were 2.26mg% and 1.57mg%, respectively, but they were changed to 1.50mg% and 2.96mg% by heating at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min. Quercetin was found to be stable at 20$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, but it was unstable to light. When it was illuminated with 30W, the content was decreased and reached to 80~85% of the original content after 48 hours. Quercetin was not affected by pH, but quercitrin and rutin were unstable below pH 5.

Cercidiphyllum japonicum leaves were collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethylacetate (EtOAc), and $H_2O$. A portion of EtOAc fraction (10 g) was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column, by the successively elution with various aqueous $MeOH-H_2O$ (1:9, fraction $1-2{\rightarrow}3:7$, fraction $3-5{\rightarrow}1:1$, fraction $6-9{\rightarrow}7:3$, fraction $10-13{\rightarrow}9:1$, fraction 14-16). Compound 2 was isolated from fraction 6 and compound 1 was separated from fraction 11 and 12. Compound 3 and 4 were purified from fraction 13. The isolated compounds were elucidated as quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (1), chlorogenic acid (2), quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranoside (3) and quercetin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranoside (4) by the spectral and literature data, and by comparison with the authentic samples. These compounds were reported, for the first time, from the extracts of C. japonicum leaves. Also chlorogenic acid (2) has never been reported before in domestic tree species and can be used as an index compound for C. japonicum.
