In order to obtain basic data for utilization of the aerial parts of Cnidium officinale Makino (APCO), the antioxidant properties of the aerial parts and rhizomes of C. officinale were measured using DPPH and ABTS radicals, and nitrite scavenging assays. The ethyl acetate (EA) fraction prepared from the aerial parts of APCO showed the strongest antioxidant activities, and contained high level of total phenolic compounds (325.81 mgTE/g) and flavonoids (259.16 mgRE/g). The concentrations for 50% reductions ($RC_{50}$) values of the DPPH and ABTS radicals, and nitrite by the EA fraction of APCO were $11.27\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $14.34\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, and $10.26\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively. APCO exhibited approximately 3-9 times higher antioxidant activity than rhizomes of C. officinale. The antioxidant capacities of APCO were positively correlated with its total phenolic contents. Therefore, it was concluded that the aerial parts of C. officinale can be a useful and cost-effective source of natural antioxidant for food or cosmetics.

The present study was carried out to clarify whether tectorigenin and tectoridin isolated from the rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis (Iridaceae) inhibit hepatic damage induced by carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$)-intoxication in rats by the experimental methods in vitro and in vivo. Tectorigenin and tectoridin exhibited a significant decrease in serum transaminase activities elevated by hepatic damage induced by $CCl_4$-intoxication in rats, as well as in a lipid peroxidation causing a significant decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) production by thiobarbituric acid (TBA)-reactant assay. Both compounds also showed strong increase in the antioxidant enzymes such as hepatic cytosolic superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) activities in $CCl_4$-intoxicated rats. These results suggested that tectorigenin and tectoridin isolated from the rhizomes of B. chinensis possess not only the antioxidative, but also the hepatoprotective activities in $CCl_4$ -intoxicated rats.

우리나라 생강의 대표적인 산지인 전북 봉동 지역에서 음저장(평균온도 $15^{\circ}C$, RH 95%) 한 생생강의 저장 기간 및 저장 중 발생한 생강의 싹과 근경 중의 항기성분 SDE장치를 이용하여 향기 성분을 분리하고 GC 및 GC-MS를 이용하여 분석 검토하였다. 생생강 및 저장 생강에 함유되어 있는 essential oil의 조성은 zingiberene, $citronellol+{\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$, ${\beta}-phellandrene$, camphene, geranial, ${\gamma}-bisabolene$, ar-curcumene+geranvl acetate, ${\alpha}-pinene$, ${\beta}-gurjunene$, limonene, neral 등이 주요 향기 성분 이었고, 생강 근경은 저장 기간이 경과할수록 sesquiterpene hydrocarbons 및 oxygenated sesquiterpene과 같은 고분자 물질의 조성비는 감소하는 반면 monoterpene hydrocarbons 저분자 성분들의 조성비는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Zingiberene, $citronellol+{\beta}-sesquiphellandrene$과 같은 sesquiterpene류는 저장 기간이 경과함에 따라 감소 추세를 보였던 반면 camphene, ${\beta}-phellandrene$, citral(neral과 geranial) 등과 같은 monoterpene류는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 저장후 약 6개월 후 발생한 생강 싹의 향기 성분 조성은 근경과 상당한 차이를 보였는데 생강 싹의 향기 성분들은 생강 근경에 비하여 terpene hydrocarbon류보다 oxygenated terpene류가 많았다. 성분 조성에서는 생강 향기의 발현에 가장 큰 역할을 하는 citral성분(neral과 geranial)를 근경에 비해 적었으나 bornyl acetate, ${\beta}-gurjunene$, ar-curcumene+geranvl acetate 등의 함량비가 높아 생강의 부위에 따른 항기 성분 조성 pattern 또한 상당한 차이를 보였다.

Objectives : To determine the discriminative criteria for Atractylodes rhizomes, the experiment of externalinternal characteristics and physicochemical pattern analysis were performed. Methods : External characteristics was observed using stereoscope. The sectioned materials which were covered with parffin were stained by Ju's method. Physicochemical patterns were analyzed using HPLC/DAD. Results : 1. External shape of original plant : Atractylodes maaocephala and A. japonica had relatively long petioles and 3-5 parted leaves. A. macrocephala had big purple flowers whereas A. japonica had relatively small white flowers and pinnate bracts. A. lancea had sessile leaves and white flowers, and the end parts of degenerated stamens were bent. 2. External shape of herbal medicine: A. macrocephala which was fist-shaped rhizome had pa-pillate processes and the cross section was light gray and sulcate. A. japonica and A. lancea were connected-beady or tubercular rhizomes, and the cross sections were both yellow-colored white. However, the cross section of A. japonica was fibrous, the width of cortex was narro-wer than that of stele, and radial shape in cortex was rare, whereas the width of cortex in A. lancea was similar to that of stele in size, and radial shape in cortex was obvious. 3. Internal shape of herbal medicine: A. macrocephala and A. lancea did not have lignified fascicles in cortex. However, the vascular bundles and vessels of A. macrocephala were wedge shaped and radial arrangement, and vascular bundles were densely populated in stele whereas those of A. lancea were repeatedly arranged and thinly extended to cortex. A. japonica had lignified fascicles in cortex and the width of vascular bundles was conspicuously thick with narrow intervals. 4. Physicochemical pattern analysis : A. macrocephala and A. lancea contained atractylenolide I and atractylenolide Ill whereas A. japonica contained atractylenolide I, atractylenolide Ill. diacetyl-atractylodiol, compound-4, compound-5. The three species of Atractylodes rhizomes showed different chromatogram patterns. Conclusions : The results could be used as discriminative criteria for Atractylodes rhizomes and as fundamental materials to researches of further pattern analysis and biological reaction.

A method for isolation and qantitative determination of anemarsaponin B from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides has been developed. Isolation of anemarsaponin B was achieved by silica gel and RP-18 column chromatography. The HPLC method for quantitative determination of anemarsaponin B provided a method for standardization of the crude drug. It suggested that the content of anemarsaponin B in Anemarrhena asphodeloides is about 0.12-1.48%.

Pharmacological activities of two sesquiterpenes, curzerenone(I), and curcumenol(II) isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma zedoaria being used as an aromatic stomachic in Chinese medicines were evaluated in rats and mice. Curzerenone (I), at 100mg/kg, p.o. showed a potent protective effect against HCl-ethanol induced gastric lesion in rats, and curcumenol(II), at the same dose level showed a CNS depressant action characterized by a potentiation of hexobarbital(HB)-induced narcosis. Both compounds showed a moderate analgesic action but did not exhibit a hypothermic action even at 200mg/kg dose level.

A bioassay-guided fractionation of the n-hexane and chloroform extracts of the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga led to the isolation of two active compounds, 1'S-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (1) and p-coumaryl alcohol $\gamma$-O-methyl ether (2). 1'S-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (1) exhibited significant cytotoxicity against all human cancer cell lines tested (A549; $IC_{50}$ 8.14, SNU 638; 1.27, HCTl16; 1.77, HT1080; 1.2, HL60; $IC_{50}$ 2.39 ${\mu}g/ml$), whereas p-coumaryl alcohol $\gamma$-O-methyl ether (2) showed selective cytotoxicity against the SNU638 cell ($IC_{50}$ = 1.62${\mu}g/ml$).

Rhodiola rosea, also known as gold root or rose root, is a perennial plant in the family of Crassulaceae. The rhizhome of R. rosea has been widely used as a hemostatic, tonic for burns and contusions in traditional Chinese medicine. Recent studies reported its strong antioxidant and adaptogenic properties. In this paper, we attempted to isolate compounds from the methanolic extract of R. rosea rhizomes. Four compounds including one new compound (1), two kaempferol glycosides (3 and 4) were isolated from chloroform and ethyl acetate soluble fraction of R. rosea extract. The structures of 1~4 including relative stereochemistry were determined by MS and NMR analysis.
