A phenolic substance was isolated from the bark of Pinus koraiensis. It was identified to be pinostilbenoside. Its anti-$LTD_4$ activity was evaluated using isolated guinea pig trachea, and its half maximal bronchodilating activity ($EC_{50}$) was $593{\pm}56{\mu}g{\cdot}ml^{-1}$. Because it is not known that stilbene derivatives possess anti-asthmatic activity through $LTD_4$ antagonism, here we report the result.

Three species of genus Polygonum, namely P. cuspidatum, P. sachalinense and P. ellipticum are distributed in Korea. Polygonum ellipticum Migo is a perennial herb in Polygonaceous plants. The root of the plant (Polygoni Rhizoma, 'Ho-jang') have been used as laxative, diuretic and for the treatment suppurative dermatitis in the oriental medicine. As the part of the study for the comparison of the three species in their components, the authors attempted to isolate the anthraquinones and stilbene derivative from the rhizome of P. ellipticum. The methanolic extract of dried rhizome of this plant was fractionated into ether soluble and insoluble fraction and each fraction was applied to column chromatography to isolate above mentioned components. Anthraquinone derivatives were isolated first; comp. I, mp $204{\sim}205^{\circ}$ (physcion), comp. II, mp $254{\sim}255^{\circ}$ (emodin), comp. IV, mp $191{\sim}192^{\circ}$ $(emodin-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside)$ and comp. III, mp $280{\sim}282^{\circ}$ $({\beta}-sitosterol-glucoside)$. They were identified by chemical properties and UV, IR and NMR spectra and by the direct comparison with authentic samples. Stilbene derivative was isolated secondly; comp. V, mp $255{\sim}256^{\circ}$ which was reported to possess antibacterial and antifungal activities.

We previously reported that the SbROMT3syn recombinant protein catalyzes the production of the methylated resveratrol derivatives pinostilbene and pterostilbene by methylating substrate resveratrol in recombinant E. coli. To further study the production of stilbene compounds in E. coli by the expression of enzymes involved in stilbene biosynthesis, we isolated three stilbene synthase (STS) genes from rhubarb, peanut, and grape as well as two resveratrol O-methyltransferase (ROMT) genes from grape and sorghum. The ability of RpSTS to produce resveratrol in recombinant E. coli was compared with other AhSTS and VrSTS genes. Out of three STS, only AhSTS was able to produce resveratrol from p-coumaric acid. Thus, to improve the solubility of RpSTS, VrROMT, and SbROMT3 in E. coli, we synthesized the RpSTS, VrROMT and SbROMT3 genes following codon-optimization and expressed one or both genes together with the cinnamate/4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (CCL) gene from Streptomyces coelicolor. Our HPLC and LC-MS analyses showed that recombinant E. coli expressing both ScCCL and RpSTSsyn led to the production of resveratrol when p-coumaric acid was used as the precursor. In addition, incorporation of SbROMT3syn in recombinant E. coli cells produced resveratrol and its mono-methylated derivative, pinostilbene, as the major products from p-coumaric acid. However, very small amounts of pterostilbene were only detectable in the recombinant E. coli cells expressing the ScCCL, RpSTSsyn and SbROMT3syn genes. These results suggest that RpSTSsyn exhibits an enhanced enzyme activity to produce resveratrol and SbROMT3syn catalyzes the methylation of resveratrol to produce pinostilbene in E. coli cells.

A facile synthesis of 4,5-(1',2'-diphenylethylenedithio)-1,3-dithiole-2-thione (dPhEDT-DTT) is carried out via a Diels-Alder type [2+4] cycloaddition reaction of 1,3-dithiol-2,4,5-trithione oligomer and t-stilbene. Molecular structure of dPhEDT-DTT is determined by x-ray crystallography: space group P1, a=11.694(3) Å, b=12.117(3) Å, c=14.688(3) Å, α=113.12(2)°, β=102.23(2)°, γ=107.02(2)°, V= 1699.1(7) Å3, Z=2. It turns out that dPhEDT-DTT crystallizes as a racemic compound consisting of (R,R) and (S,S) enantiomers. Coupling reaction of dPhEDT-DTO undergone in neat P(OEt)3 yields TTF(SEt)4 instead of ET derivative. When PR3 (R=OEt, OPh, Ph) is used in benzene, toluene or xylene, however, dPhEDT-DTO is decomposed.

Stilbene 유도체인 trans-1,2-bispyrazylethylene에 대한 분광학적 연구를 행하였다. 보통의 자외선 흡수스펙트럼에서는 $n{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수밴드는 에너지가 비슷한 ${\pi}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수밴드에 가려져서 나타나지 않는데 2차 미분 스펙트럼과 저온(77˚K)에서의 스펙트럼으로 부터 $n{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수 밴드를 확인할 수가 있었다. 또한 ${\pi}{\rightarrow}{\pi}^*$ 흡수밴드들의 전이에너지를 PPP-SCF-CI MO 방법으로 계산한 결과 스펙트럼에서 얻은 값과 잘 일치했다. 형광스펙트럼, 형광편광스펙트럼, 그리고 PPP-SCF-CI MO 방법에 의한 계산으로부터 형광을 내는 상태는 $^1({\pi},\;{\pi}^*)$ 상태임을 알 수가 있었으며 이것은 형광에 대한 alkaline salt effect의 결과와 일치한다.

Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) has received considerable attention recently for the potential neuroprotective effects in neurodegenerative disorders where heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) represent promising therapeutic targets. Resveratrol has been known to increase HO-1 expression and SIRT1 activity. In this study, the effects of resveratrol and trans-3,5,4'-trimethoxystilbene (TMS), a resveratrol derivative, on cytotoxicity caused by glutamate-induced oxidative stress, HO-1 expression, and SIRT1 activation have been investigated by using murine hippocampal HT22 cells, which have been widely used as an in vitro model for investigating glutamate-induced neurotoxicity. Resveratrol protected HT22 neuronal cells from glutamate-induced cytotoxicity and increased HO-1 expression as well as SIRT1 activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Cytoprotection afforded by resveratrol was partially reversed by the specific inhibition of HO-1 expression by HO-1 small interfering RNA and the nonspecific blockage of HO-1 activity by tin protoporphyrin IX, but not by SIRT1 inhibitors. Surprisingly, TMS, a resveratrol derivative with methoxyl groups in lieu of the hydroxyl groups, and trans-stilbene, a non-hydroxylated analog, failed to protect HT22 cells from glutamate-induced cytotoxicity and to increase HO-1 expression and SIRT1 activity. Taken together, our findings suggest that the cytoprotective effect of resveratrol was at least in part associated with HO-1 expression but not with SIRT1 activation and, importantly, that the presence of hydroxyl groups on the benzene rings of resveratrol appears to be necessary for cytoprotection against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, HO-1 expression, and SIRT1 activation in HT22 neuronal cells.

In this study, ozone oxidation experiment was carried out for the removal of fluorescent whitening agent which is widely used in textile dyeing and paper industry. The stilbene fluorescent whitening agent has been industrialized since the earliest, and the amount of current production is the highest. Due to the characteristics of the fluorescent whitening agent that can not be removed by conventional wastewater treatment methods, the fluorescent whitening agent in wastewater treatment has difficulty in using as recycled water in the process. Pre-treatment ozone oxidation experiment was conducted prior to the introduction of Membrane Bio Reactor(MBR) treatment process by converting biodegradable materials into biodegradable materials. The removal efficiencies of fluorescent whitening agents, a diaminostilbenedisulfonic acid derivative by ozone oxidation were evaluated by $UV_{254}$ Scan, $COD_{Mn}$, T-N and color using a synthetic wastewater sample ($COD_{Mn}=433.0mg/{\ell}$) and paper and paper mill wastewater ($COD_{Mn}=157.2mg/{\ell}$).

본 연구에서는 염증반응을 조절하는 다양한 신호전달체계를 중심으로 분자생물학적 방법을 통해 piceatannol의 항염증 기전을 규명하였다. LPS로 염증반응을 유도한 Raw 264.7 대식세포에서 piceatannol은 iNOS의 발현 억제를 통해 NO의 생성을 감소시키고 염증성 사이토카인(TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, IL-$1{\beta}$)의 생성을 감소시켰다. 염증반응을 조절하는 신호전달체계 중 piceatannol은 LPS에 의해 유도된 $I{\kappa}B$의 분해와 p65의 핵으로의 이동을 억제하고, LPS에 의해 유도된 SAPK/JNK의 인산화를 억제하였다. 또한 piceatannol은 LPS와 IL-6(LPS에 의해 증가됨)에 의한 STAT3의 활성화를 억제하였다. 뿐만 아니라 piceatannol은 Nrf2의 핵 내 축적을 야기하고 ARE의 transcriptional activity를 증가시켜 HO-1의 발현을 증가시켰다. 본 연구의 결과, piceatannol은 NF-${\kappa}B$와 AP-1, STAT3 신호전달의 억제를 통해, 그리고 HO-1의 발현 증가를 통해 항염증 효과를 나타내었다(Fig. 8).
