Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant activities of isolated compounds from the shoot of Aralia elata. Methods : The methanol extract from the shoot of Aralia elata was fractionated into ethyl acetate, n-BuOH and $H_2O$ layers through solvent fractionation. Repeated silica gel, ODS column chromatography of n-BuOH layer afforded four flavonol glycosides. Their antioxidant activity was determined by measuring free radical scavenging activity by DPPH, ABTS and superoxide dismutase (SOD) like activity assay. Results : They were identified as quercetin 3,7-di-O-$\alpha$-rhamnopyranoside (1), quercetin 3-O-$\beta$-D-galactoside-7-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnoside (2), kaempferol 3-O-$\beta$-glucosyl($1{\rightarrow}2$)-$\alpha$-rhamnoside-7-O-$\alpha$-rhamnoside (3) and quercetin 3-O-$\beta$-glucosyl($1{\rightarrow}2$)-$\alpha$-rhamnoside-7-O-$\beta$-rhamnoside (4) on the basis of spectroscopic data. The result showed that 1 is the most active compound in the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging test. Conclusions : Isolated Compounds from the shoot of Aralia elata showed anti-oxidative effect.

A phytochemical investigation on the methanolic extract of Cosmos caudatus has led to the isolation of quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-arabinofuranoside$ (1), quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-rhamnoside$ (2), quercetin $3-O-{\alpha]-D-glucoside$ (3) and quercetin (4). These compounds were shown to be the antioxidative constituents of the plant when evaluated using the ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and radical scavengers based on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assays.

To use onion(Allium cepa L.) residue as raw materials of food product, yields of onion-juice according to various extracting methods and optimal extracting condition of quercetin and its related glycosides were carried out. Onion juices gained by the methods of pressing, rotary crushing, freeze pressing and enzyme treatment. The yield by the method of enzyme treatment was higher than others. The yields of juice from fresh onion and heat-treated onion(8$0^{\circ}C$/10min) by pressing were 66% and 83%, respectively. Ethanol extraction of onion was efficient at 75$^{\circ}C$ and acetic acid extraction was proper at 3% concentration for 3 hours at 11$0^{\circ}C$. The onion extract was fractionated in the order of hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol to test flavonoids. The highest abundant flavonoids were found in ethylacetate and butanol fraction.

As one of the serial studies on the specific and indigenous plants of Mt. Chiri the constituents of aerial part from filipendula formosa (Rosaceae) were investigated. From of the MeOH extract, five flavonol glycosides, kaempferol-3-O-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside, querecetin-3-O-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside, quercetin-3-O-$\alpha$-Lrhamopyranosyl (1 6)-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside, kaempferol-3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1 6)-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside and quercetin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosy-3-O-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside were isolated by column chromatographic separation using Amberlite XAD-2 and Sephadex LH-20, and identified physicochemical evidences (IR, FAB-Mass, $^1H,{\;}^{13}C-NMR$).

Cedrela sinensis is a broadleaf tree that is widely cultivated in Korea and China. It was used for treating enteritis, dysentery, and skin itch in oriental medicine. In this study, three major flavonoids, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside (1), quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (2), and quercetin-3-O-glucoside (3), were isolated from the leaf of Cedrela sinensis. The biological activities of these compounds were tested by inhibitory activity of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (Type IV collagenase) method together with a cytotoxicity and a apoptosis test against human cancer cell lines.

Cudrania tricuspidata Bereau (Moraceae) have been used for anti-inflammatory, anti-hepatotoxic, anti-hyper­tensive and anti-diabetic activities. In order to investigate the efficacy of antioxidant activity, the bio-activity guided fraction and isolation of Biologically active substance were performed. $H_{2}O,\;30\%,\;60\%,\;100%$ MeOH and acetone fractions were examined on the antioxidant activity by DPPH method. It was shown that $30\%,\;60\%,\;100\%$ MeOH fractions have sig­nificantly antioxidant activity. From $30\%$ MeOH fraction, two dihydroflavonoid glycosides dihydroquercetin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glu­copyranoside (I), dihydrokaempferol 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (V) were isolated and $60\%$ MeOH fraction, six flavonoids including quercetin 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1\rightarrow6$)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (II), quercetin 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (III), quercetin 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (IV), kaempferol 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1\rightarrow6$)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (VI), kaempferol 3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (VII), kaempferol 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (VIII) were isolated. To investigate the antioxidant activities of each compounds, we measured radical scavening activity with DPPH method and anti-lipid per­oxidative efficacy on low density lipoprotein (LDL) with TBARS assay. Four compounds of quercetin glycosides (I, II, III, IV) showed significant antioxidant activity.

In this study, we examined the effects of Angelica keiskei (AK) in rats, in order to evaluate tissue quercetin concentrations and serum lipid profile changes. Dried AK powder was added to a regular chow at a 5% level, and fed for 8 weeks to male rats. AK significantly lowered serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, while it increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. However, AK did not influence serum triglyceride levels. Two antioxidant flavonoids present in AK, quercetin and its glycoside isoquercitrin, were detected in the serum and liver of the rat. However, another quercetin glycoside, hyperoside, was not detected in either the serum or liver despite its presence in the diet. These results indicate that AK seems to alter serum lipid concentrations, possibly through the body's absorption of certain quercetin glycosides.

Impatiens textori Miquel (Balsaminaceae) is an annual plant growing in most parts of Korea. The herb of this plant has been used for the external application of snake poison and the bruise. Previous investigations conducted with the herbs have demonstrated it to contain three flavones and three flavone glycosides. Continuing to previous reports, quercetin, kaempferol and acacetin $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ were isolated from the herbs of this plant.
