Acer tegmentosum Max which is one of the specialized wildness medicinal herbs in gangwon province, has been widely used for hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, hepatic cancer, leukemia, diabetes mellitus, renal necrosis and edema, etc. In this study, the antioxidative and hepatoprotective effects of in vitro and in vivo were investigated in order to evaluate the possibility as hepatoprotective agents. Oral administration of methanol and butanol extact of Acer tegmentosum Max to d-galactosamine (D-GaIN) induced experimental liver injured rats was significantly reduced activities of marker enzymes(AST, ALT) and LDH activity in serum. Salidroside(Sal) isolated from the BuOH extract of Acer termentosum Max potenty showed the scavenzing effect on DPPH and inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation. And significantly decrcease of MDA level in liver and activities of SOD GSH-Px and catalase were significantly improved by the treatment of Sal. Results of this study revealed that Sal could afford a significant protection in the alleviation of D-GaIN-induced hepatocellular injury.

The chemical constituents of Acer tegmentosum Max which belongs to Aceraceae has never been reported. The stems of A. tegmentosum were extracted with MeOH and then successively partitioned with $CH_2Cl_2$, n-BuOH, and $H_2O$ in order to investigate the major phytochemicals. Two compounds were isolated from the n-BuOH fraction through silica gel and RP-18 column chromatographies. Their chemical structures were elucidated as methyl gallate $4-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ and salidroside by comparing their spectral data with those in the literature.

Objectives : This study was performed in order to investigate the anti-fibrogenic effect of Acer tegmentosum Maxim. on r at hepatic stellate cell line T6. Materials and Methods : Hepatic stellate Cells (T6) were treated with various concentrations of distilled water Acer teg mentosum Maxim. extract for 24, 48, 72 hours. After the treatment, cell viability, proliferation, procollagen levels, mRNA of AS MA, MMP-2, collagen type 1a2 and IL-6 production were measured using MTT assay, BrdU assay, RT-PCR, procollagen typ e 1 C-peptide EIA kit and murine IL-6 ELISA development kit. Results : Cell viability of HSC-T6 decreased significantly in both 24 hours and 48 hours groups in a dose-dependant man ner. Proliferation of HSC also decreased in the same way. In the RT-PCR, mRNA expression of collagen type 1a2 and ASMA decreased in the groups which were treated with Acer tegmentosum Maxim. for 24 hours. The production of procollagen tended to decrease in a dose-dependant manner in the 24 hours treated group. IL-6 production increased under Acer tegmentosum trea tment in a dose-dependant manner in both 24 and 48 hours groups. Conclusion : These results show the possibility that Acer tegmentosum Maxim. can be an effective remedy for liver fibrosi s and liver cirrhosis.

The stems of Acer tegmentosum Max were extracted with MeOH and then partitioned with $CH_2Cl_2$, n-BuOH, and $H_2O$, successively. Three compounds were isolated from the $CH_2Cl_2$ fraction through repeated column chromatographic separation. Their chemical structures were elucidated as ${\beta}$-sitosterol, ${\beta}$-sitosterol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside, and epifriedelinol by comparison of spectral data with those in references. These three compounds were firstly isolated from this plant.

The transitivity of Chemical constituents by Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated in different raw sawdusts, which are Acer tegmentosum MAX, Rhus verniciflura, was investigated. The HPLC chromatography patterns on the chemical constituents of P. ostreatus showed the similar chromatography patterns in the different raw sawdusts and control sawdust. The unknown chemical constituents of P. ostreatus cultivated in the mixed medium added 10 %, 20% raw sawdusts, respectively, were increased. But the significance results in the mixed medium added 50% raw sawdusts were not showed. The chromatography patterns of mycelia grown in media added the 80% MeOH extracts of A. tegmentosum and R. verniciflura showed the similar patterns in comparison with control mycelia. In the results, the secondary metabolites of functional media were not degrade and changed to other derivatives compounds by P. ostreatus.
