| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For the elucidation of the various biological functions of the edible plants, we studied the constituents from the fruits, leaves, and seeds of Rubus allegheniensis, the leaves of Clerodendrum trichotomum, the tubers of Ipomoea batatas, the leaves and petioles of Moringa oleifera, and the fruits of Solanum lycopersicum. These studies resulted in the isolation of 53 compounds including five new compounds from their methanol extracts by using the various chromatographies. In addition, their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and instrumental analyses data. Furthermore, various biological activities, e.g. anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities, of the extracts , the separated fractions, and some isolates were examined.
