In order to explore the brassinosteroid-active components in Zea mays seeds, the methanol extract was purified by the sequences of solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, charcoal adsorption chromatography and Bondesil chromatography. The activity of brassinosteroid was monitored by the rice inclination test and its presence could be confirmed in each purification step. The purified active components were separated by silica gel adsorption chromatography. Brassinosteroid substances in separated active fractions were identified as castasterone and teasterone by HPLC. The content of brassinosteroid in Zea mays seeds as converted into brassinolide was 3-8ng/g fresh weight.

옥수수 종설에 존재하는 brassinosteroid 활생물질 을 탐색하기 위하여 MeOH로 추출하고, 이 추출물을 rice inclination test를 지표로 용매분획, silica g gel adsorption chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 c chromatography, charcoal adsorption chromato­g graphy, bondesil chromatography 등의 수법으로 b brassinosteroid 활생물질을 정제한 다음, silica gel 흡착 chromatography로 활생 성분을 분리하고 H HPLC에 의해 활성 본체를 구명한 결과, castas­t terone과 teasterone이 동정되었는데, 대부분 cas­t tasterone형태로 존재하였다. 옥수수 종실에 함유된 b brassinosteroid함량은 brassinolide로 환산하여 생 체중량 g당 3-8ng 수준이였다.
