The roots of Dipsacus asper are used in traditional Chinese medicine as an analgesic, enhancement of liver activity, an anti-inflammatory agent and the treatment of fractures. In order to investigate the antioxidative activity, Dipsaci Radix was extracted with MeOH and fractionated with $CHCl_3$, EtOAc, BuOH and water. MeOH ex. and its solvent fractions were determined on the free radical scavenging activity by DPPH method and antioxidative activity on low density lipoprotein oxidation. The EtOAc and BuOH fractions showed antioxidative activities and from their fractions, two compounds were isolated and identified as hederagenin 3-O-${alpha}$-L-arabino pyranoside (compound 1) and O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranosyl hed-eragenin 28-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl ($1{\to}6$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl ester (compound 2). Saponin glycoside, compound I showed anti-oxidative activity.

Polyphenolic compounds widely occurring in the traditional medicine plants have been reported to possess strong antioxidant activity. The antioxidative substances of water soluble extract from leaves, stem bark, root bark and fruit powder of Cudrania tricuspidata were tested in three different in vitro experimental models. In oxidation models using DPPH( , ' diphenyl picrylhydrazyl) method, Fe2+ induced linoleic acid peroxidation, and autooxidation of hepatic microsomal membranes, the antioxidative activities of water soluble extract from stem bark were strong than that from leaves and root bark. Fruits of Cudrania tricuspidata contained the highest amounts of polyphenolic compounds among the parts of this plant. The changes in polyphenolic compound contents of fruit powder caused by heat treatment (20oC, 40oC, and 60oC) were also monitored. After water blanching, contents of phenolic compounds was increased slightly in the following order; 20oC(1454mg), 40oC(1487mg), and 60oC(1511mg). These results supports that water soluble extracts from Cudrania tricuspidata contain antioxidative compounds.

The concentrations of total polyohenolic compound from extract of Paulownia tomentosa Stued. were water-soluble extract 7.98%, methanol extract 12.30% and ethanol extract 11.63%. The free radical scavenger activities of three extracts at the levels of 0.5% were higher than that of BHT(butylated hydroxytoluene). In antioxidative activities measured the concentrations of TBARS(thiobabituric acid reactive substances) in tissues microsome induced with Fe$\^$++/ascorbate, the water-soluble extract was errdctively suppressed in liver and spleen. In antioxidative activities determined by thiocyanate method against lipid peroxidation using linoleic acid, the methanol extract showed the higher compared with other extracts, but BHT showed the highest antioxidative activity. These results suggest that fruit extracts of Paulownia tomentosa Stued. showed to have relatively high concentrations of polyphenolic compounds and antioxidative activities.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative activities and tyrosinase inhibition effects of fractions from the distilled water extract of Inonotus obliquus. Moreover, GC-MS based analysis with trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization was carried out for active compound in the extract of I. obliquus. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the ethyl acetate fraction was 0.393 mg/ml as a result of the most effective than other fractions. Meanwhile, aqueous fraction showed higher effect in tyrosinase inhibitoty activity. In GC-MS based analysis with TMS derivatization, 7 compounds including syringic acid, vanillic acid and protocatechuic acid were observed in ethyl acetate fraction, and oxalic acid is the main compound in aqueous fraction. As a result, it was confirmed that oxalic acid in aqueous fraction from the distilled water extract of I. obliquus was a compound showing tyrosinase inhibition effect.

From the leaves of S. japonica, three compounds were isolated and identified as follows : hypogallic acid, kaempferol and quercetin. The free radical scavenging activities of the isolated compounds were 98.2%, 96.2% and 90.2% at 100 ㎍/ml, respectively. Compound 1 (hypogallic acid) and compound 2 (kaempferol) indicated higher antioxidative activity compared with reference compound, BHT.

In this study, isolation of antioxidative compounds was performed for development of anti-oxidizing agent. $CHCl_3$, $H_2O$, 30%, 60% MeOH, MeOH fractions were examined antioxidative activity by DPPH, test of inhibition on NO production. It was revealed that 30%, 60% MeOH and $CHCl_3$ fractions had significant antioxidative activity. In 30% MeOH and 60% MeOH, $CHCl_3$ fraction, six compounds were isolated and elucidated as adenosine(I), guanosine(II), peucedanol 7-O-$\beta$-D-apiofuranosyl(1$\rightarrow$6)-$\beta$-glucopyranoside(III), peucedanol 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(IV), peucedanol(V) and scopoletin(VI) by physicochemical data and spectroscopic methods. (Negative FAB-MS, $^{1}H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$). The results from antioxidative activity screening for the each compound showed that compound IV was relatively superior antioxidant ability. In anti-inflammatory activation assay, compound III, IV, VI had concentration-dependent-activity and compound IV had superior anti-inflammatory ability. These results suggest that Peucedani Radix might be developed as a potent anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory agents and ingredients for related functional foods.

To enhance the utilization of chestnut husk discarded in the processing company antioxidative activities and compounds were investigated. Antioxidative activities of solvent fractions from chestnut husk were examined by benzoic acid hydroxylation method ferric thiocyanate method and DPPH test. Ethyl acetate fraction showed strong antioxidative activities comparable to BHA. Active compounds were isolated and purified from ethyl acetate fraction by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and preparative HPLC. A major active compound gallic acid was identified by $^{1}$H and $^{13}$ C-NMR. The phenolic acid contents was analyzed by GC and ellagic acid (172.22 mg%) and gallic acid (107.39 mg%) were major phenolic acid of chestnut husk.

This study was carried out to investigate the structure of antioxidative constituents and the free radical scavenging effect of the main ingredients from Galla Rhois(Rhus javanica Linne). Antioxidative activities of n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH extracts of Galla Rhois were similar or even higher than that of natural (tocopherol) or synthetic antioxidant (BHA). It is suggested that major fractions for the antioxidative activity of Galla Rhois were the n-hexane, EtOAc and BuOH extract compartments. In the subsequently experiment, one active compound from n-hexane extract, three active compounds from EtOAc extract and one active compound from BuOH extract were isolated. Their chemical structures were identified as syringic acid, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid methylester, gallic acid and $1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-galloyl-{\beta}-D-glucose$ on the basis of the speculation of spectral data and chemical reaction. Among the compounds, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid methylester and $1,2,3,4,6- penta-O-galloyl-{\beta}-D-glucose$ showed most potent radical scavenging effect using DPPH method.

Antioxidative activities of pine (Pinus denstifora) needle extracts were tested in vitro experimental models. The concentration of total polyphenolic compound of water extracts from pine needle was 1.61 %. In DPPH ($\alpha$, $\alpha'$-diphenyl-$\beta$-picrylhydrazyl) method, the electron donating activity of 0.1 % water extracts from pine needle was as high as BHT (0.05%, w/v). The antioxidative activity was measured by inhibition against lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsome, and this activity was shown in the following: 67.7% at 0.1% concentration >63.1% at 0.05% concentration > 28.2% at 0.01% concentration. In antioxidative activity determined by thiocyanate method against lipid peroxidation using linoleic acid, the antioxidative activities at all concentration of 0.01 %, 0.05% and 0.1 % were much higher than control during 7 days. In TBA method, the antioxidative activity was increased with increasing concentration until 6 days. These results support that water extracts from pine needle contain antioxidative compounds.
