Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have researched effective compounds against ulcerative colitis from medicinal flowers. As the research results, over 150 constituents were isolated from the flowers of Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus, Camellia sasanqua, Camellia sinensis var. assamica, daylily (Hemerocallis fulva var. kwanso, H. flava, H. minor), Paeonia suffruticosa, Paeonia lactiflora, Dendrobium pharaenopsis. Among them, triterpenes and caffeic acid derivatives significantly showed show the anti-degranulation effects from neutorophil-like cells and the inhibitory effects on NO production, and the information about their structure-activity relationships were obtained. In addition, we could clarify a part of the mechanism of actions of the triterpenes.
