Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum has traditionally been used for the treatment of water retention in the body. Administration of the aqueous extract of Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum has the efficiency of anti-inflammatory activity and modulates the intestinal immune system. However, the mechanism of anti-inflammatory action of Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum has not been clarified yet. In the present study, the effect of Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum against LPS-stimulated expressions of COX-2 and iNOS in cells of the murine RAW 264.7 macrophages was investigated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), PGE2 immunoassay, and NO detection. The results of the present study indicate that Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum is a potent inhibitor of the LPS-induced NO and $PGE_{2}$ production by blocking iNOS and $NF{\kappa}B$ activation in RAW 264.7 macrophages. These findings suggest that Aconitum pseudo-laeve var. erectum is a potential therapeutic for the treatment of inflammatory syndrome.

Background: To reveal establishment strategy of Sparganium erectum, we tried to find realized niche of adults through field survey and effects of water level on the establishment process through mesocosm experiments. Results: In the field survey, the height and coverage of community living in deeper water were greater than those of community living in shallow water. There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) in the means of water and soil properties between the two communities. In mesocosm experiments, we found no correlation between water levels and germination rates, but S. erectum seedlings have characteristics of post germination seedling buoyancy when S. erectum seeds germinated in inundation conditions. Shoot height, total leaf length, and survival rates of sinking seedlings in shallow water levels at -5, 0, and 5 cm were higher than those in deeper water levels at 10 and 20 cm. Floating seedlings established in water levels of 3 and 6 cm only. The seedlings could live up to 6 weeks in floating state but died if they were unable to establish. Conclusions: The water level around adult S. erectum communities in the field were different from the water level at which S. erectum seedlings can survive in the mesocosm experiments. The findings provided not only understanding of S. erectum habitat characteristics but also evidence to connect historical links between the early seedlings stage and adult habitat conditions. We suggested the logical establishment strategy of S. erectum based on the data.

A new aromatic amide isolated from the hexane soluble fraction of the root of Aconitum pseudolaeve var. erectum has been characterized as methyl-N-(2-acetaminobenzoyl) anthranilate on the basis of spectroscopic data, and a monoglyceride was also isolated and identified as glycerol-1-hexadecanoate from the fraction.

A new aromatic amide, methyl-N-(3-carbamoylpropionyl) anthranilate was isolated for the first time as a natural compound and one known $C_{19}-diterpene\;alkaloid$, avadharidine was also obtained from the root of Aconitum pseudolaeve var. erectum. The\;LD_{50}$ values of water extract and MeOH extract of the root of Aconitum pseudolaeve var. erectum in mice were 1. 23 g (13. 6 g crude drug) and 0. 77 g(5. 13 g crude drug)/kg, p.o., respectively.

This study was conducted to clarify the floristic composition and to investigate the landscape structure of habitats of Aconitum pseudo-leave var. erectum. A. pseudo-leave is designated an endemic plant in Korea. Floristic compositions of habitats were mainly composed of Quercus mongolica community. Other elements in this composition were Weigela subsessilis, Corylus sieboldiana and Cornus contioversa. Landscape ecological structure of habitats were defined by soils of mesic, loamy skeletal, slope of more than 60$^{\circ}$, sixty percent of woody coverage at 460-520m above the sea level and 25m away from drainage. Distribution patterns of A. pseudo-leave var. erectum plants in Taejon were presented on the 1km X 1km grid map.

하이퍼리신(Hypericin, HyH)은 예로부터 성 요한의 풀(St. John's Wort)로 널리 알려져 있는 서양고추나물(Hypericum perforatum)에서 추출되는 약리성분이다. 서양고추나물은 국내에서는 자생하지 않으나 같은 속의 고추나물(H. erectum) 등이 이속에 속하며 우리나라에 자생한다 . 고추나물을 조직배양으로 RNA를 추출하고 cDNA를 합성한 후 Hyp 유전자를 추출하여 서열화한 결과, 전체 크기는 732 bp로 나타났으며 서양고추나물의 HyH-1과 거의 99.8% 서열 일치를 나타내었다. 이 서열의 152개 아미노산 역시 서양고추나물의 항산화효소와 98% 일치하였으며 자작나무와 능금속 식물에서 유발되는 알레르기 유발유전자와 약 60% 일치를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과 우울증치료제로 사용되는 하이퍼리신 추출에 우리나라 자생종인 고추나물이 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

2003년 6, 8월에 지리산과 전남 담양군의 병풍산에서 자생하는 고추나물과 물레나물을 채집하여 TLC 분석을 하고, TLC-densitometry를 이용해 정량한 결과, 물레나물에서는 hypericin이 확인되지 않은 반면, 고추나물의 꽃봉오리와 잎에서는 다량의 hyepricin이 확인되었다. 그리고 지리산에 자생하는 고추나물보다 병풍산 고추나물의 hypericin함량이 더 높게 나타났고, 고도가 낮을수록 hypericin 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 채집 시기별로 비교했을 때, 병풍산은 6월보다 7월에서 hypericin함량이 높게 나타났고, 지리산에서는 7월에 가장 진하게 보였다. St. John's wort와 고추나물을 비교하였을 때, 2.22 $mg/{\ell}$ hypericin을 함유한 St. John's wort 보다 3.2 $mg/{\ell}$의 함량을 보이는 병풍산 고추나물에서 hypericin함량이 더 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

Four antioxidative flavonoids were isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum erectum. Their structures were identified as quercitrin (I), isoquercitrin (Ⅱ), hyperoside (Ⅲ) and orientin (IV) on the basis of spectroscopic means. Antioxidative activities for flavonoids $I{\sim}IV$ were determined by measuring lipid peroxide using 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method and by evaluation the radical scavenging activity on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. Compound IV, orientin, was found to have strong antioxidative potency.
