Phytochemical investigation of the twigs of Corylopsis coreana afforded 10 phenolic compounds, bergenin (1), 6'-O-galloylbergenin (2), 3'-O-galloylbergenin (3), (-)-catechin (4), (-)-epicatechin (5), (-)-epicatechin-3-O-galloyl ester (6), 4-methoxy-3,-5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (7), gallic acid (8), 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenol-1-O-${\beta}-\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (9), and 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenol-1-O-${\beta}-\small{D}$-(6-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside (10). Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic data and identified by comparing these data with those in the literatures. The compounds 3, 9 and 10 were isolated for the first time from this source. All the isolates (1-10) were tested for their cytotoxic activity against A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT15 cell lines in vitro using the SRB bioassay. The compounds 5, 7 and 8 exhibited selective cytotoxic activity against SK-MEL-2 cell line.

Recently, there is a growing interest about unsaturated lecithin having excellent characteristics of skin affinity and absorbency. Accordingly, this study intended to develop a natural sulfuration material in order to enhance the stability of oxidation of unsaturated lecithin and substitute existing sulfuration materials which indicate variability and toxicity. As sulfuration components, plenol acid family, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and flavanone were analyzed. Total polyphenol content was higher in the root extracts (133.85 mg/g) than in the fruit extracts (53.5 mg/g). Above 100 ppm polyphenol content, the free radical removal efficiency and lipid oxidation prevention of the root extracts were 20.1 and 19.2% superior compared with BHT respectively. Also, the extracts indicated high survival rate of more than 95% below 1250 ppm, showing the stability. For the stability of liposome made from an unsaturated lecithin, the root extracts were superior to the fruit extracts. Especially, 15.1 and 13.9% of sulfuration effect and zeta potential were improved with 9.3% reduced particle size compared with BHT as the control group, respectively.

BACKGROUND: In this study, shoots of Aralia elata and Kalopanax pictus which belong to the Araliaceae family were analyzed using UPLC-DAD-ESI(+)-QToF/MS to characterize of individual phenolic acids. METHODS AND RESULTS: Total thirteen phenolic acids were identified, and nine hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives have been identified for the first time in shoots of Aralia elata and Kalopanax pictus. For total phenolic acid content (mg/100g dry weight), shoots of Aralia elata and Kalopanax pictus showed 754.8 and 845.3 mg/100g, respectively. 5-O-Caffeoylquinic acid (49%) and 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (44%) were found as major phenolic acids in Aralia elata, while 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (91%) was a major component in Kalopanax pictus. CONCLUSION: On comparing the two plants, it was considered that the biosynthesis of 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid can be affected by 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid in Aralia elata.

In the course of our investigation for chemical constituents in the ethyl acetate layer of Korean black raspberry wine, five compounds were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. The isolated compounds were identified as ethyl succinate (1), vanillic acid (2), ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (3), furan-2-ol (4), and 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butan-2(S)-ol (5) based on the spectroscopic data of electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. The presence of 2 in Korean black raspberry has previously reported. However, 1 and 3-5 in Korean black raspberry and its wine were isolated for the first time.
