A total of five compounds namely, 2-methylanthracene-9, 10-dione (1), 1-hydroxy-6-methylanthracene-9,10-dione (2), $\beta$-sitosterol (3), stigmasterol (4) and sitosterone (5) were isolated from the stem extracts of Polygonum lanatum for the first time. The structures of the isolated compounds (1-5) were established by extensive spectroscopic studies, including 2D NMR such as $^{1}H-^{1}H$ COSY, HSQC and HMBC studies. The crude extracts and purified compound (1) were screened for antimicrobial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi by the disc diffusion method. The n-hexane and dichloromethane soluble partitionates of the methanolic extract revealed mild to moderate inhibition of growth of the test organisms. The cytotoxic potential of the extractives and compound 1 was also determined by using brine shrimp lethality bioassay, where the extractives demonstrated significant cytotoxic activities.

A phytochemical study on the root of Cibotium barometz J. Smith led to the isolation of onitin (I), daucosterol (II) and a new compound (III). Compound III was characterized as 2-Ο-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-3-Ο-[$\alpha$-D-galactopyranosyl-(1"-6")-Ο-$\beta$-D-galactopyranosyl] glycerol, named shinbarometin by $^1$H-, $^{13}$ C-NMR and LC/MS data. Compound III exerted an induced neuronal regeneration on nogo-A induced neuroblastoma cells.

A phytochemical study on the flower of Calotropis gigantea (Linn.) using silica gel column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography, led to the first time isolation of Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (compound 1) and anhydrosophoradiol-3-acetate (compound 2). The structures of these compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic analyses (IR, HRTOFMS and NMR). The antibacterial and antifungal activities of ethyl acetate extract, compound 1 and compound 2 were measured using the disc diffusion method. Ethyl acetate extract and compound 1 presented better results than compound 2. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the extract and compounds were found to be in the range of $16{\sim}128{\mu}g/ml$. The cytotoxicity ($LC_{50}$) against brine shrimp nauplii (Artemia salina) were also evaluated and found to be 14.61 ${\mu}g/ml$ for ethyl acetate, 9.19 ${\mu}g/ml$ for compound 1 and 15.55 ${\mu}g/ml$ for compound 2.

Taraxacum coreanum, known as the native Korean white dandelion, has been historically used in traditional medicine due to its various therapeutic properties. However, the specific benefits and mechanisms of white dandelion in alleviating particular symptoms or diseases remain uncertain due to the complexity of its phytochemical profile. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the phytochemical profiles of methanolic extracts of different parts of the white dandelion (flower, leaf, stem, and root) using hybrid ion-mobility Q-TOF MS. Using the trapped ion mobility-based PASEF technique, 3715 and 2114 molecular features with MS2 fragments were obtained in positive and negative ion modes, respectively, and then a total of 360 and 156 phytochemical compounds were annotated by matching with a reference spectral library in positive and negative ion modes, respectively. Subsequent feature-based molecular networking analysis revealed the phytochemical differences across the four different parts of the white dandelion. Our findings indicated that the methanolic extracts contained various bioactive compounds, including lipids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and sesquiterpenes. In particular, lipids such as linoleic acids, lysophosphatidylcholines, and sesquiterpenoids were predominantly present in the leaf, while flavonoid glycosides and lysophosphoethanolamines were notably enriched in the flower. An assessment of the total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of the methanolic extracts revealed that the majority of phytochemicals were concentrated in the flower. Interestingly, despite the root extract displaying the lowest TPC and TFC values, it exhibited the highest radical scavenging rate when normalized to TPC and TFC, suggesting a potent antioxidant effect. These findings and further investigations into the biological activities and medicinal potential of the identified compounds, particularly those exclusive to specific plant parts, may contribute to the development of novel therapeutic agents derived from white dandelion.

The phytochemical study of nutmeg, the seeds of Myristica fragrans Houttuyn (Myristicaceae) led to the isolation of three lignans, safrole (I), macelignan (III), and a 3,4 : 3',4'-bis(methylenedioxy)lignan (II). The compound II was identified by a mixture (1:1) of (8S, 8'R)- and (8S, 8'S)-forms of bis(3, 4-methylenedioxy)-8, 8'-neolignan by $^1$H-, $^{13}$ C-NMR and $^1$H-$^1$H COSY spectral data. The compound II was isolated for the first time from Myristica fragrans.

끓는 물에 의한 재래적인 방법과 전자렌지를 이용하여 데치는 방법이 시금치의 phytochemical 성분 및 위해성 요인의 변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. ${\beta}$-Carotene과 chlorophylls 함량은 데치기에 의해 대조군보다 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 특히 재래적인 방법이 전자렌지에 의한 방법보다 높은 함량을 보였는데 chlorophyll a 함량은 유의적으로 증가한 반면 ${\beta}$-carotene과 chlorophyll b 함량은 단지 함량만 증가하였을 뿐 유의적인 차이는 없었다. Ascorbic acid와 총 flavonoid 및 총 polyphenol 함량은 데치기에 의해 모두 감소하였으며, 전자렌지에 의한 방법이 재래적인 방법보다 높은 함량을 보였다. 이때 전자렌지에 의해 데쳤을 경우 ascorbic acid는 대조군과 유의적인 차이 없이 감소하였으나, 총 flavonoid와 총 polyphenol은 대조군보다 유의적으로 낮은 함량을 보여 다소 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 총균과 대장균군 수는 데치기에 의해 모두 유의적으로 감소하였으며 특히 끓는 물에 의한 재래적인 방법이 전자렌지에 의한 데치기보다 약 20-25% 정도 유의적으로 낮았다. Nitrate는 데치기에 의해 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으며 특히 전자렌지에 의한 방법이 재래적인 방법보다 낮은 함량을 보였다.
