Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) analysis of ionic liquid matrices (ILMs) prepared using pyridine and dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB), such as 2,3-DHB and 2,5-DHB, displayed an unconventional peak at m/z 232.0, which was regarded as [DHB+pyridine-H]⁺. The peak at m/z 232.0 was not observed from other ILMs prepared using other DHB isomers, such as 2,4-DHB, 2,6-DHB, 3,4-DHB, and 3,5-DHB. Two requirements to observe the peak at m/z 232.0 in a DHB/pyridine ILM are suggested. First, carboxyl and hydroxyl groups must be located ortho to each other. Second, the secondary hydroxyl group must be located at a carbon with a high electron density. Based on these two requirements, a potential mechanism for the generation of the peak at m/z 232.0 is suggested.

Five compounds were isolated from the whole plant of Arabis glabra (Cruciferae) through repeated silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Their chemical structure were elucidated as salicylic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, astragalin, rutin, and $quercetin-3,7-O-{\beta}-D-diglucopyranoside$ by spectroscopic analysis.

For the utilization of chestnut inner bark as forest biomass, this studies have been carried out cleary investigated about phenolic compounds from the diethyl ether solubles and ethyl acetate solubles of hot water extract from chestnut inner bark. 3 compound were isolated and their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. They were known compounds, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4,5-trihydrixybenzoic acid and catechin. Electron donating ability (EDA) of 3 compounds were investigated. Gallic acid and catechin were found to higher EDA than control, ascorbic acid and $\alpha$-tocopherol in 10 ppm, and especially gallic acid has very higher EDA, 21 times than ascorbic acid. This gallic acid of chemical structure were substituted with free phenolic hydroxyl groups at meta and para position. It was supposed that phenolic hydroxyl groups in chemical structure was a EDA factor.

The heartwoods of Rhus verniciflua was extracted with $H_2O$ and the concentrated extract was partitioned with $CHCl_3$, EtOAc, n-BuOH and $H_2O$, successively. From the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions, four compounds were isolated through the repeated silica gel, ODS and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographies. They were determined as sinapyl aldehyde (1), 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (2), 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3) and 2,4-dihydroxyphenylglyoxylic acid (4) on the basis of spectroscopic data, respectively. Among the isolated compounds, sinapyl aldehyde $(34.7{\pm}0.6%)$ and 2,4-dihydroxyphenylglyoxylic acid $(43.8{\pm}0.9%)$ showed the strong antioxidative activity than artificial antioxidant BHT $(14.4{\pm}0.3%)$ in DPPH radical scavenging activity.

Sex hormones are important metabolites in vertebrates' development and reproduction. For rapid screening sex hormones, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the promising analytical platforms, but MALDI MS faces many challenges in detecting steroids such as low ionization efficiency and matrix background interference. One potential strategy to overcome matrix interference in the low m/z region is using a cyclodextrin (CD)-supported matrix for steroid analysis since CD-supported matrixes are known to effectively suppress matrix-related ion signals. In this study, we aimed to find the optimal CD-supported matrix for the analysis of the nonderivatized sex steroids. Our results showed that the ${\alpha}CD$-supported 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) matrix efficiently ionized all three major classes of sex hormones, estrogens, androgens, and progestagens, with low or no matrix background and also with high sensitivity. In addition, the ${\alpha}CD$-supported DHB matrix mainly generated molecular ions or protonated ions of sex hormones, and this enabled us to obtain information-rich tandem mass spectra which potentially lead to unambiguous identification of steroid species from complex metabolite mixtures.

Catechol type siderophore different from 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) was produced from Acinetobacter sp. B-W grown in medium containing L-glutamic acid as both carbon and nitrogen sole sources at $28^{\circ}C$. Optimal concentration of glutamic acid for siderophore production was 3% and production of siderophore was decreased above 3% glutamic acid. In previous report, siderophore, 2, 3-DHB was produced from strain B-W grown in medium containing glucose as carbon source and glutamic acid as nitrogen source. Rf value of siderophore produced from strain B-W grown in medium glutamic acid as both carbon and nitrogen sole sources at $28^{\circ}C$ was 0.32, while 2, 3-DHB was 0.84 in butanol-acetic acid-water (12:3:5) as developing solvent. Antioxidative activity of 2, 3-DHB was not detected in that siderophore produced from glutamic acid. Catechol nature of siderophore was detected by Arnow test. Although in iron-limited media optimal cell growth was identified at $36^{\circ}C$, significant quantities of siderophore were produced only at $28^{\circ}C$. Biosynthesis of siderophore was strongly inhibited by growth at $36^{\circ}C$. Production of siderophore was completely inhibited by $10{\mu}M\;FeCl_3$.

Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization in mass spectrometry is a fast and accurate method to determine the molecular weight of natural and synthetic polymers. Unknown peptides such as elastase inhibitor and $\small{D}$-hydantoinase were analyzed using sinapinic acid as matrix and their molecular weights were compared with the results from protein sequencer and gel filtration chomatography, respectively. Synthetic polymers such as polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol, polydimethylsiloxane, and polystyrene were analyzed using matrices such as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hdroxyazobenzenecarboxylic acid, and 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether. Average molecular weights of polystyrene were compared with molecular weights by gel permeation chromatography.
