Phenolic compounds in safflower seeds were recently found to stimulate bone formation and increase plasma HDL cholesterol levels in estrogen deficient rats, and to inhibit melanin synthesis. Nine phenolic compounds: $N-feruloylserotonin-5-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside,\;8'-hydroxyarctigenin-4'-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside,\;luteolin-7-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$, N-(p-coumaroyl)serotonin, N-feruloylserotonin, 8'-hydroxy arctigenin (HAG), luteolin (LT), $acacetin-7-O-{\beta}-D-glucuronide$ (ATG) and acacetin (AT), were quantified by HPLC in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seeds during growth and processing. During growth, levels of the nine phenolic compounds in the seeds increased progressively with increasing growth stages, reached a maximum on July 30 (42nd day after flowering), and then remained relatively constant. During the roasting process, levels of phenolic compounds, except HAG, LT and AT, generally decreased with increased roasting temperature and time, whereas those of HAG, LT and AT increased progressively with increased roasting temperature and time. During the steaming process, levels of other phenolic compounds except HAG and AT generally tended to increase with increased steaming time, whereas those of HAG and AT were scarcely changed. During the microwave treatment, quantitative changes of phenolic compounds were similar to the roasting process, although there were some differences in levels of phenolic compounds between two heat treatments. These results suggest that the steamed safflower seeds after harvesting on late July may be useful as potential dietary supplement source of phenolic compounds for prevention of several pathological disorders, such as atherosclerosis and osteoporosis and aging.

A $CH_3Cl$ extract from the flower of Lonicera japonica (Lauraceae) significantly protected primary cultures of rat cortical cells injured by the excitotoxic amino acid, L-glutamate. Loganin (1), secoxyloganin (2), caffeic acid (3) rutin (4), hyperoside (5), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (6), lonicerin (7), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (8), luteolin-7-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (9), quercetin (10) and luteolin (11) were isolated by bioactivity-guided fractionation from the $CH_3Cl$ fraction and further separated using chromatographic techniques. Caffeic acid, lonicerin, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, quercetin and luteolin had significant neuroprotective activities against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in primary cultures of rat cortical cells at concentrations ranging from $0.1{\mu}M$ to $10.0\;{\mu}M$.

우리들의 식이중에 함유되어 있는 플라보노이드 화합물들이 니트로소화합물의 생성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 생체내에서 일어나는 니트로소화 과정을 아질산염, 프로린과 시료를 동시에 투여하여 생성된 니트로소프로린 함량을 시험관 및 생체조건하에서 HPLC로서 측정하였다. 그 결과, 잘 알려진 ascorbic acid, KSCN과 더불어 catechin, chlorogenic acid, morin, luteolin, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, naringenin 등은 아질산염 소거에는 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 니트로소프로린 생성에 대해서는 ascorbic acid와 chlorogenic acid를 제외한 나머지 화합물들은 거의 영향을 미치지 않거나 오히려 그 생성을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다.

High-performance liquid chromatographic method with diode-array detector and electrospray ionization with multi-stage tandem mass spectroscopy (HPLC/DAD/ESI-$MS^n$) was used to identify the major constituents in a methanolic extract of Eclipta prostrata. The chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column. Acetonitrile-water was used as a mobile phase. HPLC/DAD/ESI-$MS^n$ allowed the characterization of constituents of E. prostrata, mainly triterpenoids (eclalbasaponin I, II, III, IV, VI), flavonoids (luteolin 7-O-glucoside, demethylwedelolactone, wedelolactone, luteolin, demetylwedelolactone sulfate, luteolin sulfate, apigenin sulfate) and phenolic acids (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3, 4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3, 5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 4, 5-Odicaffeoylquinic acid).

Exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) light induces photoaging of skin, leading to wrinkles and sunburn. The perennial herb Humulus japonicus, widely distributed in Asia, is known to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects. However, the physiological activities of isolated compounds from H. japonicus have rarely been investigated. This study focused on the isolation of active compounds from H. japonicus and the evaluation of their effects on photoaging in UVB-irradiated human fibroblast (Hs68) cells. When the extract and four fractions of H. japonicus were treated respectively in UVB-irradiated Hs68 cells to investigate anti-photoaging effects, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction showed the strongest inhibitory effect on MMP1 secretion. From EtOAc fraction, we isolated luteolin-8-C-glucoside (1), apigenin-8-C-glucoside (2), and luteolin-7-O-glucoside (3). These compounds suppressed UVB-induced MMP-1 production by inhibiting the phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and activator protein-1 (AP-1). When the antioxidant activity of the compounds were estimated by conducting western blot, calculating the bond dissociation energies of the O-H bond (BDE) at different grade, and measuring radical scavenging activity, we found luteolin-8-C-glucoside (1) showed the strongest activity on the suppression of UVB-induced photoaging. These results demonstrate the inhibitory effect of three flavone glycosides derived from H. japonicus on MMP-1 production, MAPK and AP-1 signaling, and oxidative stress; this could prove useful in suppressing UVB induced photoaging.

Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Lonicera etrusca resulted in the isolation of three iridoids including two aglycones, loganin aglycone (log-1) (1) and lonicerin (log-2) (2), and the known common glycoside loganin (4). The study also afforded a coumarin derivative, 7-hydroxycoumarin (3), and a flavonoid glycoside, luteolin-7-O-$\beta$-D-glucoside (5). The structures were determined utilizing physical, chemical and spectral methods.

The potential of seven flavonoid glycosides to induce quinone reductase (QR), an anticarcinogenic marker enzyme, in murine hepatoma cells (hepalc1c7) and its mutant cells (BPRc1) was evaluated. Among test compounds, kaempferol-3-O-glucoside, luteolin-6-c-glucoside, and quercetin-3-O-glucoside (Q-3-G) induced QR in hepalc1c7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. However, in BPRc1 cells lacking arylhydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT), only Q-3-G caused a significant induction of quinone reductase at the concentration range of 0.5 to 8 ug/mL, suggesting that it is a monofunctional inducer. Q-3-G induced not only phase 2 enzymes, including QR and glutathione-S-transferase, but also nitroblue tetrazolium reduction activity in HL-60 cells, a biochemical marker for cell differentiation promoting agents. In conclusion, Q-3-G merits further study to evaluate its cancer chemopreventive potential.

일부 식용식물 추출물의 HMG-CoA reductase 저해 활성을 탐색한 결과 파, 마늘, 호박의 물 추출물에서 $10{\sim}14%$의 저해활성이 관찰되었고 그외 부추, 생강 등의 물 추출물도 약간의 저해활성을 보였다. Methanol 추출물의 경우는 참취, 마늘, 생강, 미나리, 신선초 등에서 $51{\sim}29%$의 강한 저해활성이 관찰되었고, 그 외 느타리, 호박, 양송이, 고추, 토란줄기, 부추, 당근 등에서도 $12{\sim}3%$의 저해활성이 나타났다. 저해활성이 비교적 높은 신선초의 methanol 추출물을 극성의 차이에 따라 chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, 물층의 순서로 분획하여 각 분획별로 HMG-CoA reductase 저해활성을 측정한 결과 ethyl acetate 분획에서 가장 높은 저해 활성이 관찰되었으며 n-butanol, chloroform, 물층에서도 비교적 높은 저해 활성이 보였다. 신선초의 methanol 추출물 분획 중 HMG-CoA reductase 저해 활성이 가장 높게 나타난 ethyl acetate 분획을 silica gel column chromatography를 이용하여 hyperoside와 luteolin $7-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$를 순수 분리하여 HMG-CoA reductase 저해활성을 측정한 결과 luteolin-7-O-glucoside는 $30{\mu}M$ 농도에서 65.5%의 강한 저해활성을 보였고 hyperoside는 14.8%의 비교적 약한 저해활성을 나타내었다.

Apigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside, chrysoeriol, and luteolin were isolated from the aqueous ethanolic extract of Zostera marina L. leaves as the scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the SC$\_$50/ values of 0.18 mM, 0.68 mM, and 0.18 mM against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 0.04 mM, 0.03 mM, and 0.01 mM against superoxide radicals in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system, respectively. The luteolin suppressed the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) up to 44% at 4.0 ${\mu}$M. (omitted)
