Two quinazolone alkaloids, (+)-febrifugine (1) and isofebrifugine (2), along with three coumarin derivatives, 6-hydroxy coumarin (3), skimmin (5), and $umbelliferone-7-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1{\rightarrow}4)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (6), were isolated from the roots of Hydrangea chinensis. Compound 6 is a new compound. In addition, umbelliferone (4), linoleic acid (7), two steroidal glycosides (8, 9), three furfural derivatives (10-12), and butyl-$\beta$-D-fructofuranoside (13) were isolated from the leaves of the same plant. The structures of all isolates were elucidated by spectral methods.

Naturally occurring coumarin compounds have received substantial attention due to their pharmaceutical effects. Esculetin is a coumarin derivative and a polyphenol compound that is used in a variety of therapeutic and pharmacological strategies. However, its effect on aldose reductase activity remains poorly understood. In this study, the potential beneficial effects of esculetin on lenticular aldose reductase were investigated in galactose-fed (GAL) rats, an animal model of sugar cataracts. Cataracts were induced in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats via a 50% galactose diet for 2 weeks, and groups of GAL rats were orally treated with esculetin (10 or 50 mg/kg body weight). In vehicle-treated GAL rats, lens opacification was observed, and swelling and membrane rupture of the lens fiber cells were increased. Additionally, aldose reductase was highly expressed in the lens epithelium and superficial cortical fibers during cataract development in the GAL rats. Esculetin reduced rat lens aldose reductase (RLAR) activity in vitro, and esculetin treatment significantly inhibited lens opacity, as well as morphological alterations, such as swelling, vacuolation and liquefaction of lens fibers, via the inhibition of aldose reductase in the GAL rats. These results indicate that esculetin is a useful treatment for galactose-induced cataracts.

본 실험은 알파파 꽃 추출물로부터 Allelopathy와 Autotoxicity에 관련되는 활성물질을 분리, 동정하기 위하여 실시하였다. 알팔파 꽃 200g을 80% MeOH로 추출하여 $CHCl_3$층을 silica gel thin layer chromatography (TLC), microcrystalline cellulose thin layer chromatography (MCTLC)와 droplet countercurrent chromatography(DCCC)의 분획을 이용하여 생물검정을 행하고 DCCC의 생물검정에서 가장 억제력을 보였던 분획 5와 6은 HPLC로 활성물질을 동정하였다. HPLC분석 결과 분획 5에서는 ferulic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, rutin, narringin 이, 분획 6에서는 ferulic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, rutin, coumarin이 동정되었다. 이들 동정된 물질을 이용한 알팔파와 돌피에 대한 발아실험에서도 모두 알팔파와 돌피의 발아와 생육에 억제적으로 작용하였으며, 이중 coumarin의 처리가 가장 억제적이었다. 따라서 이들 물질이 알팔파와 돌피의 autotoxicity와 allelopathy에 관련하는 것으로 생각되었다.

Objectives: This study was performed to compare the differences between decoctions extracted by different extraction method and extraction time. Methods: Decoctions were prepared with pressurized or non-pressurized extraction for 60, 120 and 180min. The yield of extract, total soluble solid content, hydrogen ion concentration(pH) and the content of reference compound in Sipjeondaebo-tang (Siquandabu-tang) were investigated. Results: While yields and the total soluble solid of decoction were higher in pressurized method proportional to extraction time, pH values were lower in pressurized method and showed decreasing values with increasing extraction time. Albilflorin, ferulic acid, nodakenin, coumarin, cinnamaldehyde and glycyrrhizin were contained in decoctions by pressurized extraction method more than non-pressurized method whereas the content of coumarin was higher in decoctions by non-pressurized extraction method. In addition, coumarin was extracted increasingly with extraction time in decoctions by pressurized method, however, nine compounds except cinnamaldehyde showed the tendency of increasing proportional to extraction time. Conclusions: The results show that extraction methods including pressurized or non-pressurized extraction, and extraction time could affect the physicochemical characteristic or composition of Sipjeondaebo-tang(Siquandabu-tang) decoction.

We isolated a coumarin compound, isoimperatorin ($C_{16}H_{14}O_4$ mw: 270) from Angelica koreana through silica gel column chromatography, and characterized it by NMR. Here, for the first time we observed that isoimperatorin (25, 50 and 100 ${\mu}M$) treatment for 24-72h inhibited growth and induced death in human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells. Further, in mechanistic investigation, isoimperatorin-induced cell growth inhibition was associated with a strong increase in G1 arrest in cell cycle progression, which started at 24h of the treatment. These findings suggest a novel anticancer efficacy of isoimperatorin mediated via induction of G1 arrest against hormone refractory human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells.

To establish the biosynthetic pathway of decursin in Angelica gigas Nakai, feeding experiment with stable isotope-labeled precursors were conducted. Umbelliferone and decursin were labeled with deuterium at C-3. The umbelliferone, the decursin, and other commercially available putative precursors, L-phenylalanine-ring-$d_5$ and trans-cinnamic acid-$d_7$, were fed to the hairy root culture of A. gigas. Each deuterated compound was incorporated into decursinol, decursinol angelate, and decursin as determined by mass spectrometric analysis. These findings confirmed the coumarin biosynthesis pathway sequence is composed of phenylalanine, cinnamic acid, umbelliferone, decursinol, and decursin.

Objectives : To develop and validate High-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array methods for simultaneous determination of two constituents in Oryeong-san(ORS). Methods : Reverse-phase chromatography using a Gemini C18 column operating at $40^{\circ}C$, and photodiode array(PDA) detection at 280 nm, were used for quantification of the two marker components of ORS. The mobile phase using a gradient flow consisted of two solvent systems. Solvent A was $H_2O$ and solvent B was acetonitrile. Results : Calibration curves were acquired with correlation coefficient ($r^2$)>0.9999, and the relative standard deviation(RSD) values(%) for intra- and inter-day precision were not exceed 1.0%. The recovery rate of each compound was in the range of 93.01-104.16%, with an RSD less than 2.0%. The contents of two compounds in ORS were 1.10-3.72 mg/g. Conclusions : The established HPLC method will be helpful to improve quality control of ORS.

A coumestan derivative, psoralidin (1) was found to be a cytotoxic principle of the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L (Leguminosae) with the IC_{50}$ values of 0.3 and 0.4 ug/ml against the HT-29 (colon) and MCF-7 (breast) human cancer cell lines, respectively. A coumarin, angelicin (2) was also isolated as a marginally cytotoxic agent along with an inactive compound, psoralene (3) from the plant. The isolates 1-3 were not active against the A54l(lung) and HepG2 (liver hepatoma) cancer cell lines.
