Four compounds were isolated from the twigs of Vaccinium oldhami (Ericaceae) through repeated column chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated as (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, proanthocyanidin A-2, and cinnamtannin $B_1$, respectively, by spectroscopic analysis.

In traditional Korean medicine, Osmunda japonica Thunb has been used as hemostasis and antipyretic treatment. The main compound "cinnamtannin B-1" was obtained by column chromatographic separation, and its structure was determined by spectroscopic methods, including $^1H$, $^{13}C$ NMR, and IT-TOF-ESI MS. Ash, moisture and extract content and acidinsoluble ash were monitored as identification test to establish the analytical methods. The optimum reflux extraction condition was 100% methanol extracted 30 min for 2 times. A quantitative analysis using HPLC method exhibited that the main compound at 24.7 min and its content was 0.96% in methanol extraction.

Ghana산 cacao bean으로부터 acetone으로 추출하고 Sephadex LH-20, MCI-gel CHP-20, Bondapak $C_{18}$ 및 Fuji gel ODS $G_3$, chromatography 등을 이용하여 7종의 polyphenol 화합물(compound 1 - compound 7)을 분리 정제하였고, 이들 화합물의 화학구조를 $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$, IR 및 MS를 사용하여 검색하였고 아울러 angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) 저해효과를 조사 검토하였다. 분리정제한 7종의 polyphenol 화합물의 구조를 분석한 결과, compound 1: [(+)-catechin], compound 2: [(-)-epicatechin], compound 3: [procyanidin B-1, (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(+)-catechin], compound 4 : [procyanidin B-2, (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin], compound 5: [procyanidin B-7, (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}6)$-(+)-catechin], compound 6 : (procyanidin B-2,3,3'-O-digallate) 및 compound 7: [cinnamtannin A-2, (-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin-$(4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8)$-(-)-epicatechin]임을 동정하였다. ACE의 저해효과는 procyanidin B-2,3,3'-O-digallate (compound 6)가 $100\;{\um}M$에서 94.6%로 매우 우수하였으며, (+)-catechin (compound 1), (-)-epicate -chin (compound 2), procyanidin B류 (compound 3, 4, 5) 및 cinnamtannin A-2 (compound 7)도 각각 67.9%, 61.9%, 88.6%, 82.5%, 72.2% 및 82.3%의 비교적 우수한 저해효과가 있었다. 아울러 결합방식에서는 $4{\beta}{\rightarrow}6$보다 $4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8$의 결합방식이, 그리고 procyanidin 류에서는 gallate를 갖는 물질이 이를 함유하지 많은 물질보다 더욱 높은 ACE의 저해효과를 나타내었으며, 또한 hydroxyl 기가 많을수록 효소 저해효과도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 chocolate의 주원료인 cacao bean의 polyphenol 성분 또한 녹차 등에서 볼 수 있는 생리활성효과에 손색없는 것으로 판단되고, 이러한 기능성에 기초하여 chocolate, 음료 등의 식품이나 의약품의 기능성 소재로서의 산업적 응용 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.

The bark of Acer komarovii was collected, ground, and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone to obtain concentrates. The concentrates were suspended in $H_2O$, and then successively partitioned with n-hexane, dichloromethane and ethylacetate to be freeze dried. A portion of ethylacetate fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 and a RP C-18 column with various aqueous MeOH-$H_2O$ (1:0, 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:7, 1:9, 1:10, 3:1, and 4:1, v/v) eluents. Four compounds were isolated; (-)-epicatechin (9.6 g), procyanidin A2 (epicatechin-($4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8$, $2{\beta}{\rightarrow}O{\rightarrow}7$)-epicatechin) (1.3 g), procyanidin B2 (epicatechin-($4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8$)-epicatechin) (40.0 mg), and cinnamtannin B1 (epicatechin-($4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8$, $2{\beta}{\rightarrow}O{\rightarrow}7$)-epicatechin-($4{\beta}{\rightarrow}8$)-epicatechin) (690 mg). The analysis of the bark procyanidins showed that the basic unit constituting condensed tannins was only (-)-epicatechin. This study, for the first time, report the procyanidins of Acer komarovii bark.

Rumex crispus (curled dock), which is a perennial wild plant, has long been used as a laxative, astringent, and medicine to treat blood and skin diseases. We recently reported that the roots of R. crispus are an effective nutraceutical for bone. This study prepared ethanol extracts of the leaves and roots of R. crispus, and analyzed the major constituents using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. In addition, their effects on the proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells, such as cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, collagen content, and mineralization, were compared. The chromatograms of the chemical constituents of the two extracts exhibited quite different profiles: quercetin and quercitrin were identified as major peaks in the leaf extract, whereas cinnamtannin B1 and procyanidin isomers were the major peaks for the root extract. Neither extract was cytotoxic at concentrations of < $25{\mu}g/ml$. ALP activity and collagen synthesis-which are markers of the early stage of osteogenesis-in MG-63 cells were significantly increased upon the addition of the root extract compared with the addition of the leaf extract. In contrast, the leaf extract had a more stimulatory effect on mineralization-which is marker of the late stage of osteogenesis-in MG-63 cells than did the root extract. In conclusion, extracts of both leaves and roots of R. crispus stimulated the bone-forming activity of osteoblasts; in particular, the root extract was more effective in the early stage of osteoblast differentiation, while the leaf extract was more effective in the late stage. This difference in anabolic activity may be due to differences in the constituents of the leaves and roots. The leaves and roots of R. crispus appear to complement each other as stimulators of bone formation.
