- Professor Kim In-soo's research team decorated the cover paper of the Journal of Organic Chemistry.
- Professor Kim In-soo’s research team (1st author: Lee Seok-hoon in Ph.D program) made an effort to decorate the cover of the Journal of Organic Chemistry published in 2019 February. Professor Kim In-soo's research team's findings are a synthetic method that uses a direct conversion reaction of carbon-hydrogen bonds using ruthenium catalyst to introduce hydroxymethylene groups into the indol-series compounds (indole, indoline and azaindole), an important unit structure of medicine. In particular, this synthesis method is evaluated as a way to transform the structure of physiologically active compounds innovatively by using only a small amount of ruthenium catalysts to selectively introduce the paraformaldehyde to the intended location. Hydroxymethylene functional groups can control the way they combine with pharmacists through changes in physical characteristics, such as interaction by hydrogen bonds and improvements in solubility. This is a very important synthetic method from a medicinal and chemical standpoint, especially since it is a technology that can radically control the activity of drugs.

- Professor Kim In-soo won SKKU Young-Fellowship
- Professor Kim In-soo of our university won the "2018 SKKU Young-Fellowship" on February 21 at Sungkyunkwan University’s 2019 Winter Full Professors Conference. Sungkyunkwan University selected and announced the 2018 SKKU-Fellowship as the best professor in each field of study based on the quality level of its research paper (the number of papers used, the sum of IFs, etc.). The SKKU-Fellowship system is the highest honor given by our university since 2004. It is a system that grants exceptional research support and honor by selecting the best professor whose level of research ability in each field has settled on the world standard or is highly accessible. The purpose of the project is to improve the research environment, which allows professors with the highest level of research to focus on research by minimizing their lecture responsibilities so that they can display world-class research capabilities more qualitatively than quantitative growth. We sincerely congratulate Professor Kim In-soo on his acceptance of the award.

- Completion of the 2019 School of Pharmacy's Degree Ceremony
- On February 23, the self-accreditation ceremony for the 2019 Winter School of Pharmacology was held in SungGyunKwan University Auditorium in Suwon with professors, students, employees, and parents attending. The School of Pharmacy has prepared its own degree ceremony since 2015 to encourage graduates to have worked hard and support a new start. In the 2019 Winter, 73 undergraduate, 17 masters in pharmacy, 25 masters in pharmaceutical industry, 15 masters in clinical pharmacology, and 10 Ph.D. graduates were produced. We wish you all the glory in the future.

- Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team decorated the cover of the Journal of Natural Products
- A Study on the Founding of Trichosecine Compound and the Development of Natural Anti-cancer Drugs in Podostroma cornu-damae, a Poison Mushroom - Expect natural anti-cancer drug development using toxic ingredients of poison mushrooms - - Adoption of the Cover image for January issue of Journal of Natural Products, a world-renowned journal of natural product chemistry - Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team (the first author: Dr. Lee Seung-rak's Ph.D. program) published in January in the Journal of Natural Products (IF 3.885, JCR Banking 9.2%). Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team succeeded in separating the new toxic substances from the Podostroma cornu-damae, known as the deadly poison mushrooms. In this study, small amounts of the collected Podostroma cornu-damae were successfully found to be cultured in a laboratory environment, and new Macrocyclic trichothecene was separated and their compounds were successfully saved by actively utilizing the LC/MS and the structure-specific UV-spectrum library to find toxic substances. When it comes to chemical structural determination, organic reactions and chemical polarities were calculated in the computer environment and absolute three-dimensional structural arrangement was successfully discovered. In this study, the toxic substances identified by their structure were tested for cancer activity in breast cancer cells and were found to have strong anti-cancer effects in nanomolecular (nM) concentrations. And by segregating a number of toxic substances with various chemical and structural functional instruments and assessing their anti-cancer activity, they were able to identify the functional organs essential to anti-cancer activity, and they identified the potential for the development of natural anti-cancer drugs by using the toxic ingredients of poison mushrooms.

- Professor Jung Sang-jeon's research team decorated the cover paper of the Chemical Science
- Jung Sang-jeon of Sungkyunkwan University School of Pharmacy, Lim Mi-hee of KAIST chemistry, Lee Sang-rae of the Korea Research of Bioscience and Biotechnology, and Kang Hyo-jin of Dongguk University's research team were selected as the cover paper for Chemical Science (Impact Factor: 9.063) and 2018 HOT Article Collection. Plaque formation of amyloid beta peptide is known to be one of the causes of Alzheimer's disease. A team of researchers from four agencies worked together to develop a fluorescent probe that mimics the plaque formation of amyloid beta, and used it to discover natural substances that could potentially treat Alzheimer's disease. The results will be selected for the "2018 Chemical Science HOT Article Collection" and will be released in January 2019 and introduced in the back cover.

- Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team decorated the cover paper of Organic Chemistry Frontiers
- New polyketide substance derived from Beauberia basiana, an entomopathogenic fungi Professor Kim Ki-hyun’s research team (the 1st author: Lee Seung-rak in Ph.D. program) decorated the cover of "Organic Chemistry Frontiers, IF 5.455 and JCR Ranking 8.8 percent," a world-renowned chemical journal published in 2019 January. Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team successfully investigated the structure by separating the new polyketide material, Beauveetraons A-C, which originated from Beauberia basiana, an entomopathogenic fungi. The research team implemented optimal incubation conditions through LC/MS analysis in the laboratory environment, and calculated chemical polarities from the computer system and successfully discovered absolute stereoscopic structural arrangement. The findings provided an opportunity to expand research materials to entomopathogenic fungi, and it is thought to provide a significant advantage in the process of separating natural substances from new ones efficiently, applying LC/MS analysis and a library based on the unique ultraviolet rays of compounds. * Papers: Beauveetraones A-C, phthaligadione-derived polyketide demers from the enomopathogenic funus, Beauveria bassiana * Author: Lee Seung-rak in Ph.D. program.

- Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team decorated the Chemistry & Biodiversity cover paper
- New Lignan Substances to Suppress Breast Cancer and Hyperglycemia in Rice Roots Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team (1st author: Master's Program of Lee Tae-kyung) has found a new lignan substance in rice roots that inhibits breast cancer cell growth and regulates hyperglycemia. Rice roots (Oryzae radix) are medicinal herbs known to help digestion, remove heat and stop sweating. In February, the research team discovered oryzativol A and oryzativol B, in rice roots, and announced that they will help suppress fat cell differentiation and promote osteogenesis. In a subsequent study, the team discovered a new oryzativol C in rice roots, and found that the substance inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and promotes insulin secretion by glucose stimulation in INS-1 cells. The research team expected the substance to help suppress breast cancer and control hyperglycemia based on the activity shown. The findings were selected in the November cover of the renowned overseas journal Chemistry & Biodiversity.
