In the present study, in attempt was made to observe the effect of lipid components in pantocrin and antler velvet and sponge layers extracts on the aldolase activity in the rat spinal nerves. The antler chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts are known to be composed of neutral lipids, cholesterol, cerebrosides, spingomyelin, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl serine and gangliosides. The antler extracts were studied on the aldolase activity in the rat spinal nerves. The aldolase activity was measured by the method of Lehninger. To investigate the components of tile extracts which affect the enzyme activity, the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts of antler were fractionated into petroleum ether soluble and insoluble fractions and their effects on the enzyme activity were compared. It was found that the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts of the antler sponge and velvet layers as well as those petroleum ether soluble fractions obtained from the chloroform-methanol (2:1) extracts, decrease the aldolase activity by 18-23%. However, pantocrin showed increasing effect on the aldolase activity by 42.6%. The petroleum ether insoluble fraction of the chloroform-methanol (2:1) -extract showed no significant increasing activity (about 13%) on the spinal nerves aldolase. The components of pantocrin ind the petroleum ether insoluble fractions were attempted to analysize by thin layer (silica gel) and gas liquid chromatography.

The critical micelle concentrations(CMC$^*$) of the mixed surfactant systems of Sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) with Tetraethylene glycol monododecyl ether(TGME) in the aqueous solutions of NaCl at $25^{\circ}C$ were determined as a function of the overall mole fraction of $SDS(\alpha1)$ by the use of surface tension method. Various thermodynamic parameters for the micellization of SDS/TGME mixed surfactant systems were calculated and analyzed by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micelle model, based on the pseudo-phase separation model.

The anthelmintic substance of the roasted fruits of Prunas mume against Clonorchis sinensis was isolated and its structure was identified by chemical and physical methods. The results obtained from the experiments are as follows: 1) The methanol extract of the roasted fruits of P. mume was fractionated into four parts: petroleum ether, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and water soluble part. Among these, etherial fraction was found to have strong wormicidal effect on liberated metacercaria of Clonorchis sinensis. 2) From the etherial fraction, the wormicidal substance was isolated by silica gel, polyamide and sephadex column chromatography and identified to be 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) by chemical and spectral data. 3) 5-HMF was synthesized and administered to the rabbits infected with C. sinensis. On the 2nd day after administration, the EPG (eggs per gram in feces) reached to the maximal value. Among the adult worms isolated from the bile duct of the treated animal, 84% of worms were damaged morphologically. 4) The content of 5-HMF in the fruits of P. mume which were roasted in an oven at $90-110^{\circ}C$ for 52 hours and that in the fresh fruits was evaluated by HPLC. The content of 5-HMF was 0.8% in the roasted fruits and 0.02% in the fresh ones.

Bioassay-guided chemical investigation of the roots of Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Hoffm. resulted in the isolation of nine compounds, whose structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Compound 1 was isolated from this plant for the first time and compounds 3 and 9 were first found from this genus. Different polar fractions of A. sylvestris extract and compounds 1, 6-8 and 9 were evaluated for antitumor activities against HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), MG-63 (human osteosarcoma cells), B16 (melanoma cells) and HeLa (human cervical carcinoma cells) lines by the MTT method. The petroleum ether fraction of A. sylvestris extract exhibited excellent inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of $18.3{\mu}g/ml$. Among the isolates from the petroleum ether fraction, compound 7 showed significant inhibition against the growth of the four tumor cells with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from $12.2-43.3{\mu}g/ml$.

Ethyl ether fractions of Ferula Resina(EFR) and Lithospermi Radix(ELR) and hexane fraction of Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix(HSR) exerted an inhibitory effect on cell adhesion of A549 to extracelluar matrix most effectively in vitro cell adhesion assay. Thus, with above fractions for the evaluation of antitumor activity, T／C% was monitored in ICR bearing S-180 and for antimetastatic effect, pulmonary colonization assay, weight of organs, changes of WBC and platelet were studied. In pulmonary colonization assay incidence rate to control was 73 % 42 %, 14 % in ELR, HSR and EFR-treated groups repsectively. Gain of lung weight was significantly inhibited in all groups while spleen weight was significantly reduced only in SMR group, but no changes in kidney and liver as compared with control. Number of platelet was significantly increased in all groups to normal range as compared with thrombocytopenic contol. WBC was significantly reduced only in LR group. These results suggest that ethyl ether fraction of Ferula Resina has more effective antimetastatic activity.

Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica var saboten Makino) is a tropical or subtropical plant, which is widely used as folk medicine for burned wound, edema and indigestion. We previously found that the ethanol extract of cactus stem showed anti-inflanunatory action. This investigation was designed to isolate the active fraction of anti-inflanimatory action from cactus stem by solvent extraction and colunm chromatography. Carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats and acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice were used as animal models to search anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. respectively. The ethanol extract of cactus stem was consecutively extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. The hexane fraction was the most effective in carrageenan-induced paw edema, and then was separated in colunm chromatography of silica gel by the elution with hexane/ethyl acetate mixture. The most effective fraction 1 was separated in a second colunm chromatography by eluting with hexane/diethyl ether mixture. The most effective fraction 1-5 was obtained, and separated in a third column chromatography by eluting with hexane/chloroform mixture. It produced the most effective fraction 1-5-1. Moreover, fraction 1-5-1 showed an inhibitory effect on acetic acid-induced writhing in the doses of 30mg/kg and 60mg/kg,p.o.,indicating that it also contained analgesic activity.

We investigated antimicrobial activity of methanol extract from Angelica gigas and A. acutiloba against three gram-positive bacteria(Bacilius cereus, B. subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus), two gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens), and one yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The antimicrobial activity was shown in only ethyl acetate fraction of shoot and root extracts from A. gigas. The activity of the fraction of shoot extract was remarkably potent against S. aureus. The ethyl acetate fraction of root extract showed great antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis and E. coli. The n-hexane fraction of shoot extract and the water fraction of root extract from A. acutiloba were not showed antimicrobial activity, in contrast, the ether fraction of shoot and root extracts showed great antimicrobial activity. S. cerevisiae was not inhibited by any fractions and species.

The leaves of D. racemosum showed strong DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and the order of the radical scavenging activity against DPPH radical is ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction>crude extracts>residue fraction>hexane fraction>ether fraction, under the experimental conditions. Since EtOAc fraction has highest antioxidative activity among these fractions, the isolation was performed from the EtOAc fraction of the leaves of D. racemosum and four phenolic compounds were isolated and identified as follows: methyl gallate, kaempferol, quercetin and quercitrin. The free radical scavenging activities of these compounds were 79.9%, 93.1%, 93.6% and 66.7% at 10 ㎍/ml, respectively. The IC₅₀ of compound 1, compound 2, compound 3 and compound 4 were 6.1, 4.1, 3.6 and 6.5 ㎍/ml, respectively. These compounds have higher antioxidative activity compared with reference compounds, ascorbic acid (IC₅₀ = 9.6 ㎍/ml).
