Volatile flavor components in the mash of takjus prepared by using Rhizopus japonicus nuruk were identified by using GC and GC-MS. Twenty-four esters, 19 alcohols, 9 acids, 10 aldehydes and 4 others were found in the mash of takju. Thirty nine components including 14 esters and 12 alcohols were detected in the beginning of fermentation. Seventeen components were more detected after second day of fermentation and 66 components were detected after 12 days of fermentation. Thirty eight flavor components including 12 alcohols such as ethanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol, 14 esters such as ethylacetate, ethylcaprylate and isoamylacetate, 6 aldehydes and 5 acids were usually detected in the fermentation process. Ethanol was predominantly found in the range of 76.2149-92.1155% as a major component by using relative peak area. 3-Methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, ethyl caprylate, 2,3-butanediol and benzeneethanol were some of the major volatile components through the fermentation. Peak area of ethylacetate, diethyl succinate, octanoic acid, acetic acid and isobutylaldehyde among the same group were higher than other component depending upon fermentation time.

Volatile flavor components of Takjus mash prepared using Aspergillus kawachii nuruk were identified by GC and GC/MS. Twenty-two esters, 20 alcohols, 10 acids, 8 aldehydes, and 3 others were found in Takju mash. Thirty two components including 13 esters and 13 alcohols were detected at beginning of fermentation. Thirteen more components were detected after second day of fermentation, and 63 additional components after 12 days of fermentation. Twenty nine flavor components including 12 alcohols such as ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and benzeneethanol, 12 esters such as ethyl acetate, ethyl caprylate, and ethyl butyrate 3 aldehydes, and 2 acids were detected during fermentation. Major volatile components detected during fermentation included 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl caprylate, and benzeneethanol. Peak areas of 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-hexanol, 2, 3-butanediol (D.L), 1-dodecanol, 2-phenylethyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and monoethyl butanoate were higher than those of other components depending upon fermentation period.

Two phenylpropanoids, three caffeoylquinic acid deravatives and an iridoid were isolated from the stem of Lonicera macckii. On the basis of physico-chemical data, these compounds were identified as caffeic acid methyl ester(1), 5-caffeoylquinic acid n-butyl ester(2), methyl 3,4-dicaffeoyl quinate(3), 3,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid n-butyl ester(4), loganin (5) and caffeic acid(6). All compounds were isolated for the first time from the stem of this plant.

A new secondary metabolite was isolated from the culture broth and mycelium of Streptomyces sp. collected from marine sediment. The structure of this compound was determined to be N-formylantimycic acid methyl ester, an acyclic derivative of antimycin, on the basis of combined chemical and spectral methods. The structure-activity relationship of antimycins is discussed.

Rosmarinic acid and its methyl ester, isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the methanolic extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Labiatae), were found to inhibit the oxidation of L-tyrosine catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase with the $IC_{50}$ values of 16.8 and $21.5\;{\mu}M$, respectively. It was comparable with kojic acid, a well-known tyrosinase inhibitor, with an $IC_{50}$ of $22.4\;{\mu}M$. The inhibitory kinetics analyzed by the Lineweaver-Burk plots, were found rosmarinic acid and its methyl ester to be competitive inhibitors with $K_i\;of\;2.4{\times}10^{-5}\;and\;1.5{\times}10^{-5}\;M$, respectively.

The MeOH extract of Notopterygium incisum showed a strong cytotoxicity against B16 murine melanoma cell line. From this extract three furanocoumarins including bergamottin, isoimperatorin, notopterol and one polyacetylenic compound (falcarindiol) together with one phenylpropanoid (caffeic acid methyl ester) and one triterpenoid (pregnenolone) were isolated. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against four kinds of cancer cell lines, e.g. P388 (murine lymphocytic leukemia), B16 (murine melanoma), A549 (human lung carcinoma) and SK-OV-3 (human ovarian cancer). Among the isolates, falcarindiol and caffeic acid methyl ester expressed a significant antiproliferative activity against all tested cell lines.

Because food crops serve as the raw materials for biodiesel, the increasing use of biodiesel as an alternative fuel can lead to adverse effects such as food price inflation and may contribute to global starvation. To solve these problems, efforts are being made to explore various nonedible raw materials for producing biodiesel. Different raw materials impart different fuel characteristics to biodiesel. In this study, we synthesized pure fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), which is a biodiesel component, and then analyzed its fuel properties. The fuel properties of pure FAME would be useful in producing biodiesel from various new raw materials.

The syntheses of substituted tert.-butyl ${\beta}$-(o-tolyl)- perpropionates via intermediates obtained by chloromethylation, malonic syntheses and decarboxylation is described. The intermediates substituted with a group possessing moderate substituent effect such as bromo, chloro, and methyl group were obtained in good yields. The nitro-substituted intermediat was obtained in poor yield. The chloromethylation of toluenes containing electron donating groups resulted in polymerization.

A simple and efficient synthetic route for making purpurin-18-N-aminoimides is described. The purpurin-18-Naminoimides are obtained by treatment of purpurin-18 methyl ester with various amines. These new compounds have long wavelength absorptions in the range of 706 - 711 nm. In preliminary screening, the purpurin-18-N-aminoimides have shown promising photosensitizing activity for the cancer cell by in vitro study in photodynamic therapy.

The chromatographic separation of a methanol extract of Prunus mume (Rosaceae) led to the isolation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (1), 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (2), prunasin (3), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (4), benzyl-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (5), and liquiritigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (6). Their structures were determined by 1D, 2D-NMR and MS data analysis as well as by comparison of their data with the published values.
