This study was proposed to measure total polyphenols and antioxidant activities from leaves of Stachys sieboldii MIQ. Solvents such as acetone 60%, petroleum ether, ethylacetate, and water were used for this purpose The fraction by ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest activity by DPPH method and contained much more polyphenols than those by other solvents.

Dietary flavonoids are currently receiving considerable attention in developing novel cancer-preventive approaches because of their potential capacities to actively induce apoptosis of cancer cells. In our previous report, a flavonoid fraction, which consisted mainly of protocatechuic acid, fustin, fisetin, sulfuretin, and butein and named RCMF (RVS chloroform-methanol fraction), was prepared from a crude acetone extract of Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) that is traditionally used as food additive and herbal medicine. In this study, we evaluated the effects of the RCMF on cell proliferation and apoptosis using SV40-transformed tumorigenic hepatocytes, BNL SV A.8. Tritium uptake assay showing the proliferative capacity of the cells was strongly suppressed in the presence of RCMF. This anti-proliferative effect was further confirmed through trypan blue exclusion. RCMF-mediated suppression of cell growth was verified to be apoptotic, based on the increase in DNA fragmentation, low fluorescence intensity in nuclei after propidium iodide staining, and the appearance of DNA laddering. Collectively, this study demonstrated that RCMF can be approached as a potential agent that is capable of significantly inhibiting cell growth of hepatic cancer cells.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis for carbonyl compounds contained in the five kinds of filtrated myulchichuts have been made using HPLC. Carbonyl compounds were separated by converting them into 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatives which, in turn extracting with hexane. The extract was dehydrated, filtered and examined on HPLC with $C_{18}column$. The quantitative determination of carbonyl species was achieved using standard calibration technique. Highly reproduceable results were obtained by this methods and the amounts of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatives were highly correlative to peak heights. As the results, we find that the seven kinds of carbonyl compounds are contained in each of myulchichuts examined in this study. Five of which are identified as pyruvic acid, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone and butanone. But the amounts of carbonyl compounds vary widely with the kinds of the filtrated myulchichuts.

The colored sweet potato, particularly purple sweet potato, has been well known to contain anthocyanins abundantly. This study was conducted to examine the antioxidant properties of purple sweet potato. The chopped purple sweet potato was extracted 2 times with water or acetone for 18 hours at $28^{\circ}C$. The antioxidative potential of each solvent extract was assessed by DPPH free radical scavenging activity assay, FRAP assay, and total phenolic contents. The results showed that both extracts had not only high DPPH free radical scavenging activity but had high level of total phenolic compounds. Furthermore, both solvent extracts were found to have antioxidative effects in human colon cancer cells (HCT 116, HT 29) in DCFDA assay. The notable antioxidant activity of purple sweet potato suggests its significant health benefit and deserves further study to develop into functional food ingredient.

Cissus quadrangularis L. variant I (Family: Vitaceae), the common variant with square stem is widely used for peptic ulcer disorders (PUD) in traditional medicine. Aerial parts were collected during flowering and vegetative seasons and analysed. Aqueous (hot and cold) and solvent extracts (acetone, chloroform and ethanol) were screened for their anti-Helicobacter pylori (Hp) activities. Among them chloroform extract was observed to recover bioactive principles markedly with low minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal lethal concentration (MLC). MIC was $30\;{\mu}g$ in both samples and MLC was $35\;{\mu}g$ for vegetative and $30\;{\mu}g$ for flowering seasons, respectively. Extracts from samples collected during flowering season were better than thse of vegetative season.

After preparation of acetone, ethanol, methanol, and water extracts (10 g/300 mL) of dried persimmon (Diospyros kaki cv. Fuyu) flower-buds, total phenolic contents (TPC), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (RSA), 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) RSA, reducing power (RP), and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the extracts were evaluated. The methanol extracts produced the highest TPC (113.39 mg gallic acid equivalents/g), DPPH RSA ($IC_{50}=40.25\;{\mu}g/mL$), ABTS RSA ($IC_{50}=58.17\;{\mu}g/mL$) and RP ($IC_{50}=69.43\;{\mu}g/mL$) activities while the water extracts generated the lowest values. The ethanol extract showed the highest tyrosinase inhibitor activity (88.90%) at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. These results indicated that persimmon flower-buds may be a useful source of natural antioxidants.

Twelve phenolic components were isolated from the aqueous acetone extract of the leaf of Cornus controversa H. (Cornaceae). On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence, the structures of these components were established as gallic acid, $1-O-galloyl-{\beta}-{_D}-glucose$, $1,6-di-O-galloyl-{\beta}-{_D}-glucose$, $1,2,3-tri-O-galloyl-{\beta}-{_D}-glucose$, $1,2,6-tri-O-galloyl-{\beta}-{_D}-glucose$, 3,4,6-tri-O-galloyl ${_D}-glucose$, eugeniin, gemine D, quercetin, quercitrin, hyperoside and rutin.

A chemical examination of the aqueous acetone extract of the leaves of Securinega suffruticosa has led to the isolation of nine phenolic compounds. On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidences, the structures of these compounds were established to be gallic acid(1), corilagin(2), helioscopinin B(3), geraniin(4), bergenin (5), norbergenin(6), 11-O-galloyl norbergenin(7), gallocatechin(8) and rutin(9).

The chemical constituents of Acer komarovii Pojark. which belongs to Aceraceae has never been reported. The bark of A. komarovii was extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, and the concentrated extract was successively partitioned with n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and $H_2O$. From the ethyl acetate soluble fraction, four compounds were isolated by the repeated Sephadex LH-20 and RP C-18 column chromatography. From the results of spectroscopic methods including FAB-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, the structures of the compounds were determined as quercetin (1), guaijaverin (2), hirsutrin (3) and hyperin (4). These compounds (1-4) have not been reported in this tree yet.

From the n-BuOH soluble traction of the 70% aqueous acetone extract of Rhododendron mucronulatum stem, twelve compounds were isolated. On the basis of spectral data, they were identified as scopoletin (1), (+)-taxifolin (2), quercetin (3), (-)-catechin (4), (+)-epicatechin (5), scopolin (6), lyoniside (7), ssioriside (8), fraxin (9), $(+)-lyoniresinol-3{\alpha}-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (10), $(+)-taxifolin-3-O-{\alpha}-L-arabinopyranoside$ (11), and astragalin (12), respectively. All isolated compounds were tested antioxidant activity against 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. Compounds 2 and 3 showed the potent antioxidant activity, and compounds 5, 8, and 11 showed moderate activity.
