The root of Actinidia arguta was extracted with methanol and the methanol extract was suspended in $H_2O$ and successively partitioned with n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc and n-BuOH. Repeated column chromatographic separation of the EtOAc extract resulted in the isolation of two flavonoids (compounds 2 and 3) and two triterpenes (compounds 1 and 4) and $CH_2Cl_2$, extract to afford three lignans (compounds 5-7). Their structures have been established by spectroscopic, means to be (+)-tormentoside(1), (-)-catechin(2), (-)-epicatechin(3), (+)-uscaphic $acid-28-O-[\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$(4), (+)-pinoresinol(5), (+)-medioresinol(6), and (-)-syringaresinol(7).

The aim of this study was to select compounds for the standardization of fermented Kalopanax pictus Nakai (KP-F), to develop the analysis method using HPLC-PDA and to perform method validation. KP-F is a fermented powder developed to improve the original physiological activities and create a new functionality. Eleutheroside E, Acanthoside B, and Syringaresinol were selected as the standard compounds and developed our own method for simultaneous analysis. The analyte was isolated using C18 column with a gradient elution of 0.05 M phosphoric acid in water and methanol as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and detected at 210 nm. As a result, all standard compounds showed good linearity with an $R^2$ (coefficient of correlation) of 1.000 and for the limit of detection range of $0.710{\sim}0.831{\mu}g/mL$, and the limit of quantification as $2.150{\sim}2.520{\mu}g/mL$. The precision was RSD (%) of less than 4.80%, while the accuracy was 4.70%>RSD (%) for the range 102.44~110.48%. In conclusion, the developed analysis method is suitable for the detection of Eleutheroside E, Acanthoside B, and Syringaresinol in KP-F.

Background: In aged skin, reactive oxygen species (ROS) induces degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to visible aging signs. Collagens in the ECM are cleaved by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Syringaresinol (SYR), isolated from Panax ginseng berry, has various physiological activities, including anti-inflammatory action. However, the anti-aging effects of SYR via antioxidant and autophagy regulation have not been elucidated. Methods: The preventive effect of SYR on skin aging was investigated in human HaCaT keratinocytes in the presence of H₂O₂, and the keratinocyte cells were treated with SYR (0-200 ㎍/mL). mRNA and protein levels of MMP-2 and -9 were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Radical scavenging activity was researched by 2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) assays. LC3B level was assessed by Western blotting and confocal microscopy. Results: SYR significantly reduced gene expression and protein levels of MMP-9 and -2 in both H₂O₂-treated and untreated HaCaT cells. SYR did not show cytotoxicity to HaCaT cells. SYR exhibited DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities with an EC₅₀ value of 10.77 and 10.35 ㎍/mL, respectively. SYR elevated total levels of endogenous and exogenous LC3B in H₂O₂-stimulated HaCaT cells. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA), an autophagy inhibitor, counteracted the inhibitory effect of SYR on MMP-2 expression. Conclusion: SYR showed antioxidant activity and up-regulated autophagy activity in H₂O₂-stimulated HaCaT cells, lowering the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 associated with skin aging. Our results suggest that SYR has potential value as a cosmetic additive for prevention of skin aging.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the total phenolic content of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus stems harvested in different seasons and provide basic data for developing functional reinforcement products based on the optimal harvesting time. Methods: Each sample harvested in different seasons was extracted and concentrated twice for 2 hours using 70% ethyl alcohol. Phenolic compounds were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography for simultaneous multi-component analysis of 14 compounds, including syringaresinol and so on. Results: The results showed that the stem of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus harvested in winter (November 29th) (EAS-5) had the highest phenolic content of 1.038%. The stem of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus harvested in autumn (October 1st) (EAS-4) showed the second-highest phenolic content of 0.764%, followed by the stem of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus harvested in spring (February 2nd) (EAS-1) with a content of 0.390%. On the other hand, the stem of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus harvested in the summer (June 2nd) (EAS-3) showed the lowest content at 0.342%. In conclusion, the stem of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus harvested in winter (EAS-5) showed the highest phenolic compound content. Conclusions: Considering the extraction yield and the total phenolic content, as well as the concentrations of key functional components such as eleutheroside B, chlorogenic acid, and syringaresinol in the 70% ethyl alcohol extract of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus, it is suggested that the stems of Korean Acanthopanax senticosus harvested during the winter season are suitable for the development of novel materials with enhanced anti-obesity functionality.

Acanthopanax koreanum Nakai (Araliaceae) is a medicinal plant indigenous to Korea. The root and stem barks of Acanthopanax species have been used as a tonic and sedative as well as in the treatment of rheumatism and diabetes. In our study, three lignans, eleutheroside E (EE), tortoside A (TA), and syringaresinol (SY), were isolated from the stem and root of A. koreanum in an effort to study the immunomodulating effect. We treated natural killer cells and dendritic cells with lignans (EE, TA, or SY), and analyzed their cytokine (IL-12 and IFN-${\gamma}$) secretion. EE, TA, or SY markedly enhanced IL-12 secretion in mouse lymphoid (DC1) and myeloid type (DC2.4) dendritic cells after 48 hr of treatment. There were no significant differences in the cytokine stimulatory effects between EE, TA, or SY. Moreover, treatment of EE, TA, or SY significantly induced IFN-${\gamma}$ secretion by human NK cells (NK92MI) confirmed by ELISA assay. This study suggests that lignans from A. koreanum modulate cytokines, and that such modulation may provide the mechanism of action for many of their therapeutic effects.

Hibiscus syriacus L. (Malvaceae) is widely distributed over Korean, China, India and Siberia. The dried flower of Hibiscus syriacus is used as a folk medicine for curing of hematochezia, dysentery, obstruction due to wind-phlegm, regurgitation, and vomiting of food, and the dried root bark is used antipyretic, anthelmintic and antifungal agents. From a chloroform extract of root bark of this plant, compound I, II, and III were isolated and the structures were elucidated by various spectroscopic analyses. These compounds were identified as syringaresinol. E-N-feruloyltyramine, and Z-N-feruloyltyramine, respectively and were isolated from this plant for the first time. Compound II and III exhibited lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities with $IC_{50}$ of 15.5 and 28.6 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively.
