Objective : For the purpose of developing Boraginaceae plants recorded in Korean Herbology in Korea, the literatures of the successive generations have been thoroughly investigated to prepare this article. Methods : Books and research papers about Herbology which published at Korea and other countries were examined. Results : A list was made about Boraginaceae plant which were cultivated or grew naturally in Korea, after investigated the data on domestic and foreign Boraginaceae plants. Boraginaceae(grew in Korea) were divided into 14 classes with 24 species. Out of those, 6 classes with 9 species were found serviceable which indicates 37.5% of all. Out of all 24 species of Boraginaceae family, Trigonotis genus were found 5 species, which were shown the most. Among 3 genus of Lithospermum species, medicinal plants were all one species each. Out of all serviceable parts in Boraginaceae, Herb·Radix·Fructus parts took first place as 3 species. There are 2 species toxic, the survey said. 3 Classifying medicinal plants among the Borginaceae plants by part, whole herbs, roots, and fruits are found to be 3 separate species each. When it comes to the nature of taste, 5 kinds of taste without action and seven kinds of bitter taste are the most common. For channel tropism, liver channel has the largest number of 5 types. Conclusion : There were totaled to 14 genera and 24 species in Boraginaceae in Korea and among them medicinal plants are 6 genera, 9 species, some 37.5% in total.

We report for the first time a taxon of the genus Thyrocarpus (Boraginaceae) from Daecheongdo, Ongin-gun, Incheon-si in Korea. This taxon appears to be Thyrocarpus glochidiatus Maxim., previously known from China. The new Korean name, 'Dae-Cheong-Ji-Chi', was given considering the name of discovered location. A description, an illustration and a photograph were given.

From the whole plants of Bothriospermum tenellum (Boraginaceae) four phenolic compounds, kaempferol, caffeic acid, $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ and $kaempferol-3-O-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ have been isolated and characterized by physicochemical and spectral means.

The methanolic extract of the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon (Boraginaceae) was found to show inhibitory activity towards farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract resulted in the isolation of three naphthoquinone compounds, as inhibitors of FPTase. These compounds inhibited the FPTase activity in a dose-dependent manner.

Two alien plants Holosteum umbellatum L. and Asperugo procumbens L., belonging to Boraginaceae and Caryophyllaceae, respectively, have been first recorded in Hongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do and Incheon, South Korea. This initial investigation reports to inform the importance of detection and extermination of these potential weeds in surrounding areas. Furthermore, we report the morphological characteristic features of these two alien plants.

Lithospermi Radix has been used in traditional medicine for antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, immunostimulating, antitumor and wound-healing activities. For the quality control of this drug, acetylshikonin was isolated from the hexane extract of Lithospermum erythrorhizon(Boraginaceae) and identified by the spectroscopic evidences. A quantitative analysis of acetylshikonin using HPLC method showed that the average contents were $0.084{\pm}0.026%$ in 31 samples collected throughout the various regions of Korea.

The name Golovinomyces cynoglossi s. lat. is traditionally applied to a complex of morphologically similar powdery mildews on hosts of the plant family Boraginaceae. The current species-level taxonomy within this complex is ambiguous due to the lack of phylogenetic examinations. The present study applied phylogenetic methods to clarify the taxonomy of G. cynoglossi s. lat. Phylogenetic analysis of rDNA ITS sequences retrieved from Asian, European and North American specimens revealed that G. cynoglossi s. lat. collections from different hosts involved several species in five clearly separated lineages. Clade I consists primarily of Golovinomyces cynoglossi s. str. on Cynoglossum. Clade III consists of Golovinomyces sequences retrieved from the host genera Symphytum and Pulmonaria. The taxa within clade III are now assigned to G. asperifoliorum comb. nov. Clade V encompasses G. cynoglossi s. lat. on the host genera Bothriospermum, Buglossoides, Echium, Myosotis, and Trigonotis. The taxa within clade V are now assigned to G. asperifolii comb. nov. The species concerned in this study were lecto- and epitypified to stabilize their nomenclature.

A shkionin derivative was isolated from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon with silica gel column chromatography and preparative TLC. The structure of the isolated pigment was identified as propionylshikonin by NMR and mass spectrometric analysis. The isolation of propionylshiknin was for the first time in the nature.

In the course of screening for antioxidant compounds by measuring the DPPH radical scavenging activity, a total extract of the aerial part of Trigonotis peduncularis (Boraginaceae) was found to show potent DPPH radical scavenging activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract of T. peduncularis led to the isolation of seven compounds, kaempferol (1), quercetin (2), trigonotin A (3), astragalin (4), trigonotin C (5), kaempferol-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1${\rightarrow}$6)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (6), and rutin (7) from the active ethyl acetate soluble fraction. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic studies. Among seven compounds, compounds 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 were isolated for the first time from this plant, and compounds 2 and 7 showed the significant DPPH free radical scavenging activities.

Phytochemical constituents were isolated from the seeds of Lithospermum erythrorhizon through open column chromatography and prep-HPLC. Their structures were identified as ${\beta}$-sitosterol (1), daucosterol (2), luteolin (3), and allantoin (4) on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Among them, luteolin (3) was isolated for the first time from the plant.
